Current Events > Is there a trilogy that completely dropped the ball on the sequel

(+) Yeah! (+)

I guess the original Mario Bros? 2 wasn't all that well liked but 3 was great.

For sure let me know. I'm not getting into it with you because you haven't played the whole saga and I don't want to accidentally spoil something. ME should be experienced on your own. I think it's that good.

I'm forgiving you for speaking bad about ME1 because you know not what you do. I forgive you my son.

Come back to the table after your 60 hour playthrough

I HAVE played the whole trilogy, multiple times. He's still absolutely right.

Mass effect 1 is just as fetch-questy as 2, only with mako segments and a lot more time slowly fat-jogging through empty rooms/hallways. Both games have roughly 3 missions where actual interesting plot developments happen. The only difference is 2 focuses on individual character stories, while 1 spends two worlds focusing on dull corporate espionage crap that has nothing to do with the rest of the series.

What? You have that completely wrong. ME2 focuses on literally nothing the series at all. You can literally take out 2 and still have the same experience from just playing 1 and 3.

ME2 is complete filler

If you count the Genesis Phantasy Star games as a trilogy then yeah. 2 was a classic, 3 was considered a mess, and 4 is the best of the bunch.
