Don't go overboard. Eventually; when you can afford something, buy it or donate. Support the danm developers.
Aswell as that, keep in mind that not everything has to be bought new - second hand sales are a legitimate problem for the devs, but at least it's fully legal.
Ok yeah thinking about it - those were actually the very worst examples I could have possibly picked. Say for instance half life or halo. Because they follow the same dude in the suit you can't choose which is better?
" I don't hate you but I also don't really agree, mostly because I think of the Mass Effect games as a whole, and not separate. "
"
How or more importantly why? Do you group the GTA, Final Fantasy and indeed anything with a sequel together while you're at it? How can they not be separate when they are so entirely different?
" I love the lore and backstory of the ME games, but the game stories themselves bore me to tears "
I disagree. I think ME1's Shepard story was truly genius. Being the first human spectre and acting as the ambassador for his own species going to open a can of whoop ass on Saren. Man, thinking of it now makes me want to go back
Really it's all opinion, and no opinion is fact. I thought that ME2 was a good game, whereas ME was great.
There's a good discussion I heard on the latest 'Podcast Beyond' for those interested. I think it was Colin Moriarty who said that had not ME2 come out, ME1 would have regarded as one of if not the best game of the generation. I don't know if I fully agree with that but it's not far off the mark I believe
Yeah I was exaggerating with the title, honest I don't really care of what people think of me. Though if I copy/pasted this article to any other gaming site I'm sure the responses would be quite different. Giant Bomb and indeed the community rocks!
" I would be much more likely to play the first again rather than the second. "
Exactly. Even for achievements I'm pretty much done with ME2. Though I want to go back to mass effect some day and find out how different the game can be. When I finished 2 I put it on the shelf along with the likes of Perfect Dark Zero and PGR3 which I have no intention of ever playing again, whereas with ME1, it sits firmly on the 'recently played' stand.
" There are plenty of people who have the same opinion. Why should I hate you based on your justified opinion? That's just dumb. "
I was pretty sure that everyone preferred ME2 to ME1. And the internet at any given time has a tendency to be dumb :D
I'm not saying Mass Effect 2 was a bad game, by any means. But to put this in perspective I don't even think that it should be in the running for game of the year. And from what I was reading, the consensus is that it is by far the greatest game ever.
