64% of people didn't meet Wrex seems high.

StriderX · 26 Feb 2017 at 20:26

Probably means they shot him in ME1.

Actually it's not necessarily true that players shot Wrex in ME1, the "default" choices that were provided by Bioware for "new" players in ME2 was that Wrex was shot (not that they did it themselves). And most players didn't want to run through ME1 after starting ME2 as you lose abilities etc and need more time to run the whole thing, etc. So a lot just took ME2 as their start.

Very true, me1 is the bigger game out of the 3 plus slower paced so I can see why people didn't do it once. I did me1 twice myself to keep a character, finished 2 on both formats it's only 3 I've only done once. I've seen people redoing 1-3 now but don't get why they don't link you carry nothing through.

I did all 3 at least twice!

means I had both good man shep and bad femshep in all games

1 was nice to everybody and 1 was nasty and argued and insulted their way through

Which did you feel was 'better off' in terms of kit and overall play ability.

I always found it easier to play as Paragon. Yes, it's "only a game", but the characters get inside your head (or under the skin) and it becomes just as hard as in real life (being a generally nice, helpful guy) to take the Renegade or ruthless approach, well other than Kaidan when I left him with the nuke in ME1.

Still on the fence re the new release, price is eye watering and my GTX950 is going to struggle at medium res methinks, so probably not a Day 1 purchase for me.

I'm new to the series, but this looks great, do you think I could just pick this up from the beginning or is it best I play the others? I'm a bit funny playing old games, I can't seem to get past the dated graphics

It's been said you don't need to play the other games at all to play this one. However obviously it will help a bit with the lore and stuff.

Thank you for the reply, I might track down ME3 on the cheap anyway

If you have the time and dedication, play through all 3, collectively they are a very good series. But the 1st is a bit slow compared to 2 and 3. 2 is most peoples fave and 3 is good but the ending is cack.

Just noticed 2 is free on origin, I'll get started on that tonight, thanks for the reply

nitram100 · 28 Feb 2017 at 13:00

Is 3 even worth playing? Heard the ending is dog ****. Played 1 and 2 , loved them to bits.

LoadsaMoney · 28 Feb 2017 at 13:07

I read they'd turned this into a porn.

Uncle Petey · 28 Feb 2017 at 13:11

Yeah, it's definitely worth playing if you liked the others.

Not sure if this has been discussed, but is anyone going to bother? 10 hours seems a bit cheap.

Not too fussed, got Wildlands to play and complete before I pick up Andromeda.

Spoilers ahead, but if you skip to the 2/3 minute mark you should miss them

I'm going to avoid ME:A news until I've played it now. I found DA:I pre release info did taint my initial impression so this time I want to make my own mind up.

I've pre-ordered so just 20 days or so to wait :cool:

As I've said I've been replaying ME:1/2... and hopefully 3 before launch to get in the SCI-FI mood. If you've got time I recommend it, even with the generally agreed miss steps it really is a masterpiece as a whole IMHO

Have fun guys see you in Andromeda!!! (Multiplayer of course!

)

"Go here, jump there, activate that, enemies will come, scan this, shoot that, jump there, enemies will attack when you activate the thing I'm asking you to activate, jump there, activate this".

So much hand holding! Really put me off.
