IF we get another Mass Effect game....

I do indeed understand the differences between GoW and ME, of course. The comparison is done because a game is played, not viewed. The gameplay needs to be good for a game to be fun to play and ME1 is clunky garbage compared to GoW1.

ME1 is not fun to play. The controls and mechanics are so bad that not even a mouse and keyboard can save it.

Regarding your pushing of meaningless numbers assigned based on opinion, I already stated that I don't give a fuck about them nor do I care about awards.
But by all means, continue with the appeals to authority.

Your point?

As the MP crowd would say: learn to play (ME1). 

ME1 starts out really clunky, but you can have an absolute blast playing it once you figured out how the powers in that game function. I only say master lift! 

The beauty of ME1 is it wasn't a gears of war corridor shooter like 2 and 3 were. Combat came dead last for that game as it was never meant to be important to start out with.

ME1 was great because and I'll emphasize this, it was great DURING its time because the huge planets you could explore wasn't very common for console. Andromeda does it better (as it should being how it's 10 years later) but it's impact isn't the same cause so many other games have caught up to that aspect where it's no longer special. I have no care that Andromeda makes it look cooler or more beautiful because that wow factor has long passed when so many games have changed to a more open world approach, and most do it better than bioware does I might add. ME1 also had a villain that didn't make me laugh which bioware has forgotten, instead now we get an irrelevant harbinger, a cartoon Corey or teddy bear archon.

Part of why I love ME1 is also cause to me it was the last of the old bioware before ME2/DAII to present became a thing with all the action BS trending and the RPG aspect getting watered down over time. They simply don't make games like they used to.

Aahh...the good ole days. The kids nowadays they don't really know what a good game is. When we were kids, then games was really hardcore. Not only was it permadeath and NO SAVES! The game devs had these big blokes sent home to you for a beating repurposing of your game for being such a softcore nOOb.

When you tell the kids of today hardcore gaming used to be back in the good-ole-days they never believe you.

Maybe ME1 plays fine for the average casual gamer, but for someone like me that comes from a competitive CS background, it is nowhere near good enough.

One does not master bad controls and clunky mechanics, one simply struggles through.

It's not just the shooting mechanics that make ME1 a shitty game. Literally all of the mechanics implemented in that game that the user has control over are poorly designed and cause more harm than good. The cover system alone has been responsible for the vast majority of my deaths.

It's the reason that I don't get the praise for the game because it fails as a game and would be better suited as an interactive motion picture.

ME1 on higher difficulties is a lesson in insanity. I have more fun getting bunkered continuously in a speedball game than playing that shit.

Never played, lol.

I much rather play laser tag with my son. I don't mean this in a bad way. Fun level of ME insanity? -2 going to a laser tag place with my kid? Priceless!

Laser tag more fun than that too.😋
