    You’re in the minority, but you’re also correct.

    The quality of Mass Effect 1 and DA: Origins came from how polished their stories were. The gameplay was the weakest point of both games. Don’t get me wrong, I liked playing them, but they do not hold up. Then, or now.

    Both Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age 2 experienced the exact same quality shift. Less quality on the story side, better gameplay. In DA 2’s case, they might as well have handed the writing off to the interns.

    It only got worse after this. We all remember red explosion, blue explosion or green explosion at the end of ME3. DA Inquisition existed, the multiplayer was fun (and similarly the only fun thing, to me, in ME3).

      I played every mass effect in a row like a year ago and honestly the gameplay is still good. It’s nothing really that involved and it’s definitely a lot more interesting by Andromeda. But the original was still good honestly.

        I liked it. You liked it. I still think Origins is fun.

        However, there’s a reason the gameplay shifted from what it was to where it ended. Many people thought both ME1 and DA:O were bad, gameplay-wise. It’s just sad that the story got fucked in the process.

          Did anyone think mass effect one was bad? Rudimentary maybe but bad?

            Personally? I did. I didn’t finish ME1 until I played through DA:O. Although on my second playthrough, I did grow to love it.

              Did you think it was bad or did you just not care for it?

                I genuinely thought the combat was bad, but it’s also been so many years since I’ve played it that I couldn’t give you a nuanced review of why it’s bad.
