In recent day there have been a quite a few of why Mass Effect 2 sucks/is worst them ME1 posts and god damn I am just sick of it. So right here right now I am going to say why I think Mass Effect 1 was not the best game ever and how Mass Effect 2 was over all a better game.

Lets start off with what were the most evident problems with ME1 at the same time going over the positive aspects.

The Bad

1. The Shooting it just feels sloppy and unsatisfying. What I mean is the lack of feeling that what you are doing has an impact on the enemy.
2. The Inventory system: Sure there is one but every thing feels like every thing else none of the weapons feel distinct. (Until you use ammo mods) Not to mention the fact near the end of the game you have to stop every 10 min to turn every thing to Gel.
3. The Mako: This is a point of contention between everyone so here is my feeling yes it makes the world feel very large but at the same time very empty. You can land on all these different worlds but at the same time the is almost nothing to do on those worlds aside from the mission
4. The Side Missions: Are very poorly copy and pasted environments with a small variation on shot the dudes.
5. The Main Story is Short: As far as I an tell the main story only has about 10 missions (Eden Prime then get the 3 team mates from the Citadel and the 3 places be for you go to Saren's base then you go through the relay and the battle of the Citadel and you are done)
6. THE ONE AND ONLY HACKING MINI-GAME
7. You Can't sprint out side of combat also it runs out super fast.

Now to be fair Mass Effect one dose have some very good points

The Good

1. The Main Story: Even with it being a little on the short side each mission is memorial and distinctive
2. The Main Bad Guy: Saren is a really good antagonist he is that rare breed of being both stronger and smarter that Shepard with just a dash of ruthless and madness along with not knowing whether or not his is in control

Now lets move on to Mass Effect 2

The Bad

1. The Main Story: Well there is not much there and its not that great
2. Most of the New Human Teammates: Marina, Jacob, and Jack seem very stereotypical and one dimensional
3. No Grenades

The Good

1. The Weapons: There are not a lot but each one feels diffident each other
2. The Dossier and Loyalty Missions: If you ask me the best part of the whole game each one being new and exciting. AT the same time giving great depth to each of the teammates
3. The The Interrupts System: It just adds a real visceral felling of being Shepard.
4. The Combat; Sure it is your standard 3rd person cover based shooter but it super sappy and just well thought out.
5. The Galaxy: It is just more expansive you see more walks off life such as Omega and The Migrant Fleet its not just the wonder and spender of the Citadel
6. Good Verity of Henchmen: I will admit most of them are re-skins but there are still many more then in mass effect 1.

But for me here is the clincher take 2 missions one from Mass Effect 1 and one from Mass Effect 2

Garrus: Find Dr.Saleon and Garrus: Eye for an Eye

In both missions you are helping Garrus with whether or not he should kill some one in Dr.Saleon you fight thought a small ship and find the doctor and ether you tell Garrus to shot him or not. No mater what he dies its just Paragon or Renegade points. But on the other side of the coin you have Eye for an Eye were you have to come to a decision were you ether help Garrus get "Justice" or help him realize that killing some one will not make his guilt go away.(I like this mission so much I replayed it 5 times)

Well there you go I guess after writing this all I want is some objectivity. I mean quit spending all day saying one thing is better that the other both are good in there own merits.

Please Note: That is just being pissed the F off and trying to express my anger in constructive manner even if to dose not come out that way so take that as you will.
