I'm thinking of playing mass effect 2, is it worth my while playing the first and is it still buggy or did it get sorted out?
 
I never played the first, absolutely loved ME2. Based upon my experience I'd say go for it. Make sure you ramp your mouse sensitivity right up for the mining "mini game" ;)
 
The only bug i encountered in Mass Effect 2, was during the mission to get Grunt i think, where you get stuck in the wall or you mysteriously get elevated into mid-air.

Play the first before Mass Effect 2.
 
I'd say play from the begining, you'll get the most out of it that way. The storyline is superior in the first game, but the 2nd game has more refined gameplay.

Start now, you'll be ready for ME3 in the new year :D
 
I'm not gonna lie to you mate, the first game is excellent...however, the control system is awful compared to Mass Effect 2, I tried going back immediately after finishing the second game and I couldn't!

I would certainly give it a go however, its a fantastic experience if you can adapt to the control scheme :)
 
dont ever recall bugs in ME or ME2?? where did you hear that.

great games though....the review scores speak for themselves, I dont think you need us to tell you otherwise.

I had the same issues, ended up randomly floating above the ground, you have to go back to your last save point, drove me up the wall. Apart from that, an excellent game! :p

Yep, only ever saw bugs in ME2, and it was that one. RIGHT at the start of the game, LOL.

Ran forward, floated, got stuck on a bench. Thought "awww, here we go", but reloaded and never had another problem.
 
I played the first, then went on to the 2nd, it used my save file from the first to help mould the story line of the 2nd!
While you dont need to play the first game, it does help build a unique story in the 2nd and this will be the same for the 3rd game
 
Play ME 1 Well worth it imo. I purchased on a steam sale at xmas and only just got around to playing it. As its been said it starts off slow but damn its a great game.

I doubted i would enjoy it as much as i did and it has left me itching for ME2, im just waiting for another steam sale to purchase it :)
 
Definitely play the first. It occassionally crashed to desktop on my machine when I played through it recently but it's still worth the effort.
 
Mass Effect is excellent, regardless of the control system. Epic story and if you've not played either, play the first then go play the second in time for the third..!!
 
ME2 was great for me, superb stories. I didn't like the mining grinding though and I felt collecting the ammo and powerups etc. was a bit weird, but the dialogue and characterisation was superb. Also gunfights are far too easy with all the powers you get.
 
Play ME1, I think its well worth it. Its good for the storyline (even though its may be a little slow for the first 1/4 of the game) and it ramps up the tension later.
 
Yeah ME1 is definitely worth it, the story is awesome. The shooting elements aren't as refined as in ME2 and inventory management is a bit of a pain, but you soon forget that and it's a right good ride. Plus, if bioware do as promised, your ending in me3 could very well be effected by your decisions in the first game (as well as the second)
