I think it's criminal that ME1 isn't available for PS3. It's what made ME2 epic

Ok this is getting stupid seriously! Look I never played ME1 and played ME2 1st. I enjoyed the game and had no set backs for me, then many months later I played ME1 and it didn't make my experience go from meh to yay. I just like how fanboys find something negative about leftouts that the PS3 gets and just run with it just to make it seem that their always the superior one.

This isn't true, maybe it is for some people but a lot of us are just trying to tell people that they are not getting as good an experience unless they start with the first and you yourself would have enjoyed the game more if you hadn't been given a generic middle road shepard that always made the niether renegade nor paragone choices in the first game. This is like being given disc 2 to an rpg with a save file premade... a shame imo.

ME1 is a AA game from what 2007? It was a very meh game. ME2 was the real leap forward. ME1 would have kept a lot of people away from the second. Most of you claiming otherwise don't remember how flawed it was. It hasn't aged well at all.

i replayed ME1 right before ME2 (i even left my copy of ME2 unopened for a couple weeks until i did 2 playthroughs of ME1, in order to get every achievement)... it was great. The only thing that really sucked was the MAKO, but you could skip that easily if you arent a completionist.

There were annoyances like the inventory system, ill grant you that. But ME1 was a great game... maybe you dont remember well.

I'm surprised they didn'tpack Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 on one Blu-Ray for the Playstation 3, would have been a good idea, but I guess by this point everyone who wanted Mass Effect already has it on teh 360 or PCanyways.

[QUOTE="Santesyu"][QUOTE="Giancar"] form what I've read they hold some rights from the 1st game. Don't know what exactly. But maybe Bioware will find a road, like NGS2. But I don't think EA want to make thatArach666

Why did you even post then? Can you think of a more logical excuse for Microsoft to allow EA to port the game than PAYMENT? Or was this yet another good deed from Microsoft "Yes EA, we own the publishing rights to ME, but we will let you port the game on PC and collect all the money for no apparent reason. We're Microsoft, we don't care about money, right?" Anyway, here's your proof.

"The game is the first in a new deal struck between EA and Microsoft, which will see the publisher bringing this and other unspecified games to the PC market."

Always insulting people in every response just shows how insecure you are about you response and how it's all BS. BS you try so eagerly to defend.

Oh I don't why MS would do that ... perhaps they have an OS on PC ? perhaps they do that with a lot of games, first have the 360 version come out, than the PC port ? Perhaps Gears, Halo, Fable ? Perhaps you don't have the faintest idea what your talking about ?

Would you please explain or think of a logical reason why EA would pay to publish a game on PC(yes even if MS has the publishing rights) developed by one of their own studios ? I don't think you can

Because their studio doesn't own the publishing rights to the game? BioWare only developed the game, and Mass Effect was the reason EA acquired them in the first place. So they should get BioWare, but not acquire the rights to publish their hit game from Microsoft? That makes no sense. Anyway, I already posted a source saying MS and EA indeed signed a deal so that EA can publish Mass Effect on PC. But now you're gonna say MS signed the deal out of good intentions, and they were not compensated with a sum of money for it, right?

then skip the boring sidequests. My first playthrough back when ME1 was originally released, i barely explored any of the planets... and i skipped a bunch of the boring collection sidequests. I just played the parts that sounded fun (i also thought i was going to be able to go back and finish up the sidequests after i beat it, which is why i skipped a bunch of them in the first place).

the inventory system definitely had problems but it wasnt gamebreaking or anything. If you didnt enjoy the sidequests, then just dont do them.... there is plenty of main quest in the game to satisfy any gamer.

totally, me1 without me2 is not a complete experience, its like watching the sequel of a movie you never watched

ME1>ME2 imo

While the characters were not as good the world was huge and immerive, you could travel to random planets, ride your mako around and hunt for loot. Some of the planets were beautiful. While ME2 took all that away and became a linear corridor shooter. When playing ME1 I really felt I was in some far away galaxy with many planets to explore.
