So recently, I was playing the Mass Effect 3 demo (under the persistent "advice" of a friend). Anyway, the multi player is fairly nice, but I also gave the story a quick go. Anyway, I was interested in the Mass Effect universe after that and remembered I had bought number 1 a while back in a sale. I've completed it now and am raring to get onto the second one.
Have you guys ever had a similar experience?
An almost identical experience, but it occured 2-2.5 years ago.
I played ME1 and the starting mission really threw me off, and I thought 'nah, this is a crap xbox port, not interested'. Then ME2 came out, and my friends were like 'woah, ME2 is so much awesome, and it is even better than the original, which was mega super awesome, you gotta play ME2, but first, go back to ME1'.
So I played ME1 just to get 'the story of ME' fell in love with it, everything after the first mission, was fantastic. Got to ME2, and was not as impressed, but that isn't saying too much since ME1 is now my favourite game of all time, followed closely by ME2.
So, glad to see more people are getting into the ME series, couldn't have picked a better time really, if you have a few days to not do anything else, I highly reccomend finishing both ME1 and ME2 to have a character ready for ME3 (I'm doing a third character in ME2 atm, but I have a feeling I won't have ME2 finished in time for ME3, but I'll be importing my original character I started over 2 years ago, into a brand new game, which is noice).
