Remember when Mass Effect made you feel like this?

I'm an hardcore lover of ME1 but one have to recognize that part of the love and those feelings we got came from the fact that ME1 was the first of the series. We were not really sure what to expect the first time we put that disc inside our PC/Consoles.

It's like the first time you do something new. Now we are accustomed to what to expect from the game so it's not like the other games will be ever able to achieve that type of enthusiasm we got the first time we played the game. In this thread you do nostalgia talks which is fine but you won't help BW in making a better product by telling them older games gave you better feels. You should tell instead what specific things you liked about those games and what made you come back years after, having eliminated the nostalgia feeling as that is not something that can be replicated in another game and is not even rational.

I reckon we fans in one way or the other are driven by nostalgia and we love when a developer pander to us by using that card however by doing that the developer itself is dooming its product not to innovate and therefore never shocking us to the extent ME1 did when we played it the first time. It will come the day when BW should stop playing it safe and DARE to challenge our expectations and desires to follow an innovative path.
