Getting through ME (1) when playing the trilogy is a chore

I think the gameplay of DAO is far more dated and taxing than that of Mass Effect. Just my opinion, though.

edit: I felt compelled to specify that both are on my very short list of GoAT games, regardless of dated gameplay mechanics.

I thought it was funny when Cassandra had the overly exaggerated "Deal with it" in DAI.

In a way I do understand what people mean when they say they don't like ME1 combat. I do like the action feel of ME2 and 3. However, thermal clips suck and I loved the ME1 guns.

I know I'm in the minority, but I've always really loved the Mako's controls. It handles exactly how it looks. I'm able to drive it masterfully, and that's not idle boasting. I think most players' issues are more with the overly mountainous terrain, than with the Mako itself.

I'm not saying I won't enjoy the new MEA Mako that handles like a high-performance vehicle. That will be awesome. I do kind of hope that they will change its name, though, before launch. We already know what the M35 Mako is. Using the same designation for another, different vehicle is nonsensical in-game. I'm hoping it's strictly for pre-release marketing purposes, and will not be called such in-game.

I agree with Element ZEro, the Mako is controllable.Despite the first hours, it was bouncing like a cat playing with a rubberball. If you want a co-pilot I'm yours!

Personally, when it comes to ME1, instinctively I think of the music! I love walking through the Normandy especially for the ambiance, I miss this on other episodes.And it's the beginning of the story, all is beatiful..
ME2 is a little too simplified regarding the RPG aspect, it's like you said: "That' all?!", but I love the rhythm, the fights, I actually play it like a FPS: without using the competences at least. I get nuked often, but that's great! ME3 I love the increase in the tactic used by the ennemies.

If you drive like that I prefer go using my feet!






Damn! Its makes me remember, once I succeeded in making it roll to the back without beeing able to continue shame on me

Sorry, I let the thread continue...

Driving the mako using a keyboard/mouse sucked. When ME1 became available for the ps3, it was a lot easier to drive when using a controller

One of the best things is if you hit an armature hard enough, it will be knocked backwards into the lava on Therum. excellent.

yeah, I remember even if you stay on the path, if you approached too much the lava puddle on the roadside, the mako was instantly on fire. what a surprise!

I much prefer the Mako controls with keyboard and mouse as the vehicle and cannon can be operated separately, which makes taking down turrets far easier.

While we're on the topic of ME1, did anyone else boot up Origin today only to find they'd got a free copy of the first game? I, in fact, own ME1 but have it on disks. I bought both ME2 and ME3 on disk too but ME3 instlls Origin for you anyway. But it was the only one of the three to show. But I started Origin today only to see a copy of ME1 with a 'new' tag. I mean that's fine. I might even download the thing (for old time's sake) and have a go but I was surprised.

You could carry them around on top of the Mako! That's what I always did
