When Mass Effect 1

But seriously, hmmmm. I liked quite a lot of that game, but it's been enough time that I can't really remember what part was my favorite. I was trying to go through the trilogy again, recently, but after I got Tali in ME 1 I was just like "I don't have time for this" and then uninstalled it.

Edit: After a bit of thinking, I'm gonna hafta say the suicide mission. I have a soft spot for anything that involves having your entire party work together like that. Mostly 'cause it reminds me of FF6

I was going to say how I made it through the suicide mission with all my crewmates alive, but...I can't help but agree with you.

The opening.

The game is solid throughout but i still think the opening is the best moment in that game.

The moment they show you the new Normandy.

Holding out with Archangel against the attacking hordes. Fun combat, great to see a familiar face, and a real bittersweet sense of a lived in place in a Mass Effect universe that often feels antiseptic and gamey rather than like a place that could actually exist.

I also think ME3 was overrated in terms of terribleness. Yes the actual ending was kind of silly and not worthy of the series, but the journey to get there has a lot of exciting and interesting moments and the multiplayer was way better than a tacked on mode should have been. I know this argument has been beaten into the ground but I still don't get the need to bash ME3 every time the series gets mentioned. There are plenty of great TV shows with mediocre endings, how is this any different.

Oh, and ME1 was definitely the best in the series.

I am the very model of a scientist salarian!

The part where I quit playing Mass Effect 2. =D

All of the loyalty/recruiting missions were awesome. That game is just awesome (I should really replay it soon)

Suicide Mission was definitely the highlight of the game. Seriously, I was probably the most disappointed fan ever when I got to the ending of ME3 and realized that it wasn't going to be anywhere near as good as the second game's final mission. I imagined controlling armies, making decisions that would (again) influence whether my squad members lived or died, you know, ME2 but on a much larger scale.

God ME3's ending disappointed me on so many levels... :(

The part where you get the new Normandy.

Part where you get new Normandy and doing the final mission perfectly.

The ending. Blasting out of the Collector base with that kick ass score playing, knowing that I'd made all the right decisions to keep everyone alive... God, what a great feeling.

Leaving the collector base (start at :35). That cutscene with the harbinger voice over and music together make this one of the best moments this gen. Also I really enjoyed Mordins loyalty mission. Fuck I love EVERYTHING about this damn game. Can't wait to see what the new game holds.

When I got to tell every store on the Citadel that it was my favorite store. Give me them discounts suckers!

This is the second time today I was tricked into staring at that facsimile of a rump.

Edit: All of it was great save for the final boss. That was really weird and felt entirely out of place, if I recall. Personally it was the moments when my mostly good Shep would lose patience and get aggressive that stick out to me. There was a moment where the team was almost jumped by some dudes, but I saw a 'red trigger' and I triggered a scene that wiped out half the ambush in a really badass way. Stuff like that felt great.

This topic made me realize that the only thing I can really remember about Mass Effect 2 is that I had fun playing it. Man, I'm getting old.

All the renegade moments. That and Jack's story and angst stuff.

EDIT:

@mb: 'This topic made me realize that the only thing I can really remember about Mass Effect 2 is that I had fun playing it. Man, I'm getting old.'

I hear you brother. CRS is a bitch.

1. Punching that reporter in the face.

2. Headbutting that punk ass krogan during Grunt's loyalty mission.

I liked the part where you went on that mission to recruit that character...you know the one...

Sexing up Jack in the undercarraige of the Normandy. That mouse that squeeks every now and then watched. It was great.

For me it was probably headbutting a Krogan.

That was amazing.

Pretty much anything involving the Illusive Man. That, and any time a Krogan refers to you as "Shepard."

Wait, are you saying that ME2 deserves game of the gen. or deserves the gnashing of teeth at it being called game of the gen.?

Also, Mordin singing is probably the best thing about that game.

Pretty much the whole idea of "The Illusive Man" was really interesting to me. I love that kind of "shadow organization" theme in media.

Don't remember, it was fun though.

Everything with Miranda and Garrus in it. Or Shepherd dancing in the Eternity club.

Yeah. Shepherd dancing in the Eternity club.

When Martin Sheen spoke to me.

This this this, so much this.

I got chills when the music picked up, and all you hear is Harbinger still putting you down as everything is falling apart around it. The Reapers' Plan B failed immensely, and it does not phase his resolve to Shepard's demise one bit.

This brings one of my disappointments from the third game back to the forefront; we never had a good Shepard/Harbinger showdown.

My fondest memories of the series are in episodes one and three, but my fondest memory of 2 was probably walking into Afterlife for the first time and having the club music wash over me.

I almost forgot my favourite sequence - the ascension and end of Niftu Cal, the Biotic God. The intro sequence and last level of the game are runners-up.

A shame about ME2's story, though. Absolute nonsense as a Sole Survivor-Shepard.

We need a new term for the number of post it takes for a picture of Miranda's ass to show up in any Mass Effect 2-related thread. A "NOPUMAC" (Number Of Posts Until Miranda's Ass Count), if you will.

The ending. In a game full of great moments, that ending topped it all off really, really well.

Naming Legion.

Yeoman Chalmers getting gooiffied

The part where I uninstalled it because it was a bad sequel to Mass Effect 1

I remember laughing quite a bit at this part of the game:

I thought it was cool how they mixed things up in the last half hour or so after being super bored with the wackamole tps the game was up until then.

When I was really excited for the sequel to close out the trilogy and they fucked it up. Good times.

Yeah man that giant baby was just the perfect cherry on top of an all around classy game.

I remember punching that guy in the head until he passed out. Was that a different scene?

I've studied species turian, asari and batarian,

I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology),

Because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology),

Miranda in her bra, that's what I remember

When the game suddenly puts you in control of Joker. That was nuuuuuuuts.

Also talking to Mess Sergeant Gardner. Cooking meals and cleaning toilets, that's the Cerberus way!

The part where I punched that reporter in all three games.

The last few seconds before the credits where you see the Reaper armada slowly approaching the Milky Way.
