Which ending do you prefer ?

For me i would have to say as much as i love both endings and were great if i had to pick one i think the ending in mass effect 1 was alittle better .

your on a race to capture seran and find the conduit , Sovereign and his fleet of geth are gonna open the mass erlay to let the reapers kil all humanity now i thought that endngwas baddass whatching the humans take the fight to them . have the chance to kill the council for not beliving you the whole time . not saying in any form that the ending of ME2was bad great ending i thought , but ME1 had a more special ending to me and is my favoite so far lets see how Epic ME3 will be .

It's really hard to decide. Both have their own type of epicness.

Mass Effect 1 BY FAR

At the end of the game where the piece of Sovereign breaks through the building and they sort through the wreckage and everyone looks where Shepard was under the debris and I had the tear going and I was like "oh no" and then he comes limping out and gives the crooked smile and I was like "YES!!!" pumping my fists in the air

I still get goosebumps just thinking about it

I feel the first game was better in every way except for the gameplay, don't get me wrong, I loved ME2 and I loved the gameplay in ME(including the Mako). I just feel that the story in particular was much stronger in ME.

Do you mean ending or last level? The endings were equal imo. Cyber-Saren and Giant Terminator head were both pretty goofy imo. I like the death of teammates in ME2 but I like the shootout in the Citadel better. If you could throw ME2 combat into that last ME1 stage it'd be great.

Not even close...ME1's ending was way more original than ME2's "Destroy the giant torso/head thingy" boss. Too bad ME1 had a lot of hindering flaws in the exploration or it would be the better game.

Overall, I liked the first one a lot more. However, both are extremely good. First one really rapped things up while the second one was a great cliff hanger.

I love them both, but If I have to pick one, It has to be Mass Effect 2. Mainly because I like the idea of the Suicide mission, like If you don't get everyone's (SPOILER) Loyalty, that person dies. Oh, and the way ending when Shepard and his crew runs to the ship, now that was EPIC, especially the big ass Explosion. I have to admit, fighting Saren (my favorite video game villain) was more challenging, but the 2nd one wasn't all that bad, but yet, easy at the same time. Either way, both have epic endings.

Mass Effect 1's was more emotional and heartpounding, but the sequel had a much more epic scale with the final scene.

ME1, definitely. A full scale space battle, with the Normandy personally destroying a trillion year old god vs. running from an explosion/radiation.

Also, if Saren became like a giant reaper-dragon. END!

*Spoilers* Well, the ending of the first one was epic, it was like a high-budget action movie. However, I hated the final boss, saren/mouse. The second one's ending was great too, I loved the cliffhanger in the end, as the reapers approach the milky way. Also I like the human-reaper, even though he was a little bit easy to beat.

Both were pretty awesome, but I'll give the edge to ME1. Overall Saren and the Reapers/Sovereign were much better villains than the Collectors/Reapers/Human Embryo thingy. That made the ending more climactic and epic in my opinion.

Both were awesome. It is close, but I have to give it ME2. I really enjoyed doing the suicide mission where you switch out and assign your teamates for different tasks.

I'm gonna say the first one. The second one felt very underwhelming, almost as if it wasn't even the end of the game.

I enjoyed both games, but I loved the first game a little more. Obviously there was some issues with the first game, but it was so ambitious and fresh for an IP, that it was completely believable. The universe felt large. Roving around in the Mako wasn't refined, but it made the uncharted universe feel bigger and the game overall had a larger scope.

With Mass Effect 2, everything was streamlined. Some of it was great, some was a little questionable. Overall it made me feel like the universe got smaller. More planets to look at, but when you had to land, the zones and areas were very small and more focused on the certain mission/quest you had to partake in. Everything was closed off and even around the larger "hubs" of the game, it felt confined. That being said, it is an overall better game considering the gameplay was fixed and less glitches.

Story wise, I believe Mass Effect 1 was better than 2 especially the ending. The second of course has a cliffhanger to it, while the first focused on the issue of the rogue spectre Saren. It felt right, it felt larger in ambition and it felt right. Mass Effect 2 was great as well, but it worked more in favor of the mass gaming industry where it was about the action, rather than the story/lore. I felt the mission was quite small in general. I felt like there wasn't an actual enemy. I understand that the collectors were the overall enemy to the human race, but the "Harbinger" was just an faceless antagonist. It would only use a collector's body as a vessel to attack, but really overall in the end, there was no character development in that enemy.

Eventually, We'll see what was planned in the trilogy after the next game, but I really do miss the overall ambition from the first game. These two games are high uptop of my favorite games ever, but the first one slightly stands higher.
