I did not think ME2 was that impressive and did not get the goon obsession with it. The like thousands of dollars of gangtags +emotes + avatars was wild to me.

Everyone with the avatars of the blue aliens was loving insane and I think at least two ended up being sex criminals.

its my most controversial but most correcft opinion

Gameplay-wise it's absolutely the best and I almost want to replay it just to try out a different class. But then I'd have to play through the back half of the story. Plus, outside of multiplayer the enemy variety is really limited, and the Legendary Edition did not port the multiplayer. Maybe if the most common enemies weren't the Cerberus troopers with the grunts and screams I find annoying...

2 is fine for the most part, but people were convinced there'd be so many variations on the outcomes of things set up in 2 that they were replaying it a dozen times to have alternate choice paths available in 3 so they could relish all the outcomes (lol)

1 at least lets you do really hilarious physics things with biotics and send enemies sailing into the stratosphere. Plus rolling over things in the Mako and ramming the big geth walkers off cliffs was funny. We let them take away all our freedoms in the sequels.

It is not interesting. It is boring. This was the absolute height of like every bioware game having the exact same structure and the only remotely interesting bits are dialogue infodumps.

I'd say the biggest issue with 2 and 3 in retrospect is they hosed up the order of objectives. 2 should've been "The reapers are here, we need to assemble a crack team to go and do something to weaken them!" and then idk have the choice be between nuking a ton of them or hijacking them and gently caress whatever the green ending was supposed to be.

Then 3 should've been "We severely weakened them but we need to send your squad of bad dudes on a suicide mission final push to save the day!"

But this wasn't helped by all the behind-the-scenes drama, burnout, EA pressure, and turnover meaning that they couldn't actually keep track of consistent writing styles between all 3 games anyway.

also lol @ how bioware refused to ever make any of the male characters people actually like gay/bi and instead introduced that one guy that absolutely no one likes just to say there was a gay option

it is probably true that gamers would riot if garrus, space batman, could be homo but idk if the same was true of thane
