People need to stop praising ME1

We will shcorch the univershe....and when it ish done, and the franchishe ish ashesh, then...you have my permission to cry.

You are entitled to your opinion OP,however i am entitled to mine and if i choose to wear rose tinted glasses when looking at an older game so be it.

This is full of personal opinion.

Come now Iakus. You can't say that about your favorite character.

Some of these seem rather uneven, but remembering that this is ME1 and not later iterations of some of these characters...I dunno man. Garrus was kind of a statue in ME1 (though I'd really compare him to Vetra, not Liam, who is more like the dopey not-Kaidan of the group), and Tali? Way more so. There's just no way on Satan's brown earth that I can see Vetra getting beaten by the Space Gypsy Codex. 

As for the Tempest, beyond weaponry, I'll always consider it vastly superior to the Normandy in terms of its interior layout. Those turians were on drugs when they placed that galaxy map so far away from the bridge. 

I could "understand" you not ever buying another Bioware game (lots of people have those sorts of grudges).  They are still grudges, but people have a right to not spend their money where they please.... but you're denying yourself something you've already bought that you say you had enjoyed.  If I enjoy something the first time, then it's an almost surety that I'll enjoy it again and again.  I don't need to like every Picasso or Van Gough to continually enjoy looking at some of them.  I don't need to like every book written by an author to continue to enjoy the ones I've already read and enjoyed.  When I was a kid, I didn't need to love or even read every Hardy Boys book to have still enjoyed some of them enough to read them more than once.  Even though each book was connected by some of the characters or locations... they still were standalone stories... and ME1 is a standalone game in its own right.

Then the train will miss out.

Yeah, I've tried using that one.  But for whatever reason, that mod simply will not work for me.  

...in MEA.

I suppose not but then there really aren't in Andromeda either. Nothing major anyways.

There are several plot holes, all major ones, in ME 1. Especially when you consider the rest of the series. There are none in MEA.

The inventory system is better. The freedom to level up and create your character is better. There is a crafting system, which while it sucks, is better then one that does not exist. The dialogue system is also better. Light years better. People say that Andromedas system is 'four ways of the paragon', i found ME 1s to be 'three ways of the bland' Arguably the only advantage ME 1 has is its CC. And even then by personal taste i have to go with MEAs. Of course all of this is personal taste.

I don't know about that either. There were games that had very fluid gameplay released in 2007. ME 1 gets a pass because it was Biowares first shooter. In fact it gets a pass on the RPG stuff too for much the same reason. But that does not mean Andromeda can't be acknowledged for the improvements it's made.

Hell even Uncharted: Drake's Fortune has better graphics, combat, and cinematics kills Mass Effect. Sad really.

Companions in MEA aren't exact copies of MET comps, they are part-mashup, part-original. When talking to them I often had a feeling that I've already seen\heard whatever the interaction was about, but it's not that obvious. Vetra is nothing like Ash, even though these 2 cut-scenes start in exactly same way. 

or different opinions are still a thing.
