Board 8 > So, having not played any of the Mass Effect games...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is it worth bothering with now?

it's a great series with a bad ending for the 3rd game. 99% of it is still awesome, so yes.

.

just wait until the mass effect collection, which will have all the dlc for all 3 games. of which there's no doubt gonna be plenty for 3.

Yes.

Even with the disappointing ending ME3 is still one of my favorite games ever. It's incredibly fun.

I'd wait to see what the ending dlc is like before starting. But if you can ignore a horrible ending, its still one of the best trilogies this gen if not ever.

A great series is always worth "bothering with," no matter when you get into it.

Skip ME1, and skip ME3, apparently

ME2 is a great game, though

Play all of them. 3 seems like something special until the really end.

2 will take you as long as 1 and 3 combined

Definitely. One of the best series ever.

The ending is awful but that doesn't stop it from being one of the best trilogies in gaming.

People need to shut up about ME3's ending. Yes it was awful, but stop using it as any sort of excuse. The bottom line is mother f***ing YES, play the games. Right now. They're the absolute best sci-fi games you'll find nowadays. For absolute positive sure.

Play them.

Start from 1. It's a good game.

Then play 2, which is super fantastic.

Then play 3, which is also super fantastic regardless of the crappy ending.

I took that post to be a joke because he also said to skip ME3 which is silly because that game is incredibly f***ing amazing (aside from the ending but whatever).

Anyway yes. Again, play the s*** out of every single Mass Effect game. Devote your life to them if you have to. It will be worth it.

I can't speak for ME3, so I just ignored that part.

Because my save file(s) exist(s) on a PC.

And I'm waiting for a price drop and a non-Origin release.

I have more than a big enough backlog to tide me over.
