Mike Gamble is now Project Director at BioWare - What could he be in charge of?

Echo chamber against the person.

Mass Effect 1 set up context. Without ME1 I would've found the series to lack the depth it seems to have. Both ME2 and ME3 upped the ante on visual and cinematic flavor, but skimp more on character depth. 3 has great themes about heroism, sacrifice, war, existentialism and stuff and that's great. 2 has some of the same sci-fi minutia as ME1 and a generic "beat the bad guys" plot, but ME1 has all those politics, state of the world, world-building etc. and Normandy characters that act as windows into each culture. They do that better than most do in ME2, and ME2 was more there to show the nitty gritty of inside a culture such as the idea of Asari's super-police the justicars, human experiments, Salarian strides with the Genophage etc.

Each game has its place, I think it's shortsighted to discredit ME1 just because it was "boring".

The only reason why ME 2 and 3 had better gameplay was because it ripped off Gears of War's cover system.

(Which ME3 went the extra mile and ripped off GoW's Horde Mode)

Not arguing with ME1'S rubbish combat system (it was shit, the only way to get around it was to run and gun).

The cover system was just one of many components that made 2 and 3 superior. ME1 made the mistake of trying to combine manual control to gunplay to a clumsy stat-based system, so you can potentially be forced to carry 3 extra weapons that are absolutely useless, despite being a highly trained N7 operative, just because you happen to run Adept. There’s no particularly good reason why I should rely on Garrus or Ashley to snipe baddies when my space marine is carrying a sniper at the same time. 

The guns themselves had such poor feedback, made worse by atrocious sound design. The sound fx were harsh and felt very same-y. I dislike the change to thermal clips, but the guns themselves were punchier and had their own dynamic feel and audio in combat. Mass Effect didn’t feel like an actual shooter until 2. I would’ve been fine if ME1 allowed me to just talk my way out of fighting for 90% of the missions, just because of how terrible the actual shooting part was. 

I would not say my Sentinel in ME1 without bonus power is using the sniper, like the infiltrator is using it. It is not the same in Gameplay.

ME2’s biggest offense to me was how thoroughly blatant the cover was designed. Even a rock was basically screaming “There’s a shootout about to happen!”

ME3 then decided to get annoying with its magnetized cover that you could trigger accidentally if you decided to sprint too close to a wall. Andromeda’s combat was such a breath of fresh air in comparison, which, funnily, kind of takes from ME1, which did have a sort of auto-cover kind of mechanic, albeit used sparingly.

Yeah, this is one of the main reasons why I dont play me3mp and why it didnt feel like a good mp game/finished mp game.
Andromeda fixed that (plus more) and theres no going back. In ME1 the cover was too slow to go and get out of too, so I rarely used it.

ME2 and 3 had blatantly showing cover places, in MEA its more organic to the enviroment, like in 1.

Many games take inspirations from other games though I think.

So it's not an echo chamber then since he's banned? I mean the haters got massive likes on their posts as well.

"This game is garbage because of reasons x, y, z and I want everyone who worked on it to be fired" People can evolve

Yep what I tried to convey (badly) was it works both ways...
