I beat it.
CotM is legit but double tapping a direction to get your sprint on always annoyed the shit out of me and murdered my thumb. Also I played it on first gen GBA hardware, so, you know, that was a nightmare.

That's nothing, back when I first played it I didn't understand shit about english, so I got stuck for a very long time at the beginning of the game right after getting the dash because it's required to advance at this point of the game

ME3 made me retroactively hate the entire series.
The first one? Could be worse, the having to do inventory management every 5 minutes was most annoying.
then how the shit are you going to say there wasn't a castle. It was there and it was huge! I actually enjoyed the lead-up to it, made getting there feel more meaningful and built hype along the way. I can understand some purists thinking it should be there from the start but I'm glad they mixed it up a bit, i'd go nuts if igavanias were just madden or assassins creed and had the same shit every time, but I admire how they manage to put new ideas and gameplay mechanisms each title. Hopefully bloodstained is rad.

I always enjoy watching blacks stream far more than other people lately. How is this man not in a top team yet?!
I really enjoyed the dialogue aspect of mass effect. It really drew me in and the story was fun enough as it was which made me willing to put up with the awful rpg elements that people seem to praise for some reason. I felt like mass effect 2 really improved the game in every way. To me ME2 is one of the best games of all time.

I only ever played that game in 2007 and the jank was absolutely noticeable even then. Its playability was really no good and the game's strengths didn't make up for how bad a video game it was in my opinion (it's hardly a Planescape: Torment). Also, it was an utterly shallow RPG by industry standards and by Bioware standards. This was one of the very few cases where I didn't mind the reduction of RPG elements in its sequel because the original game had done fuck all with them.

I'm not the type of person that would let a bad ending ruin an otherwise great series. Not that I think everyone should be like me, that's just not who I am. I mean I already know what the ending is, too, 'cause I don't give a shit about spoilers. So that might make the letdown feel less letdowny for me? Who knows!
Also, for the record, Mass Effect 1 is infinitely superior to Mass Effect 2.
Also also, for the record, the best part of Mass Effect 1 is everything on the Citadel.
Been almost a decade since I played thru it but I remember the Castle being smaller, more linear and less interesting than every Castleroid before it because it was just a fraction of the overall explorable area of the game. Like a dim facsimile of all the ones they did before it, they just went thru and checked boxes for all the areas they needed (library, clock tower, etc).
Also they stashed the meat of that game behind one of the worst bosses in Castleroid history, that god damned tower crab.

The castle was noticeably smaller than in the Castlevanias that consisted of a (or two) castle(s) only but it was still quite long, and including the stages to the castle this game was no shorter than the others.

Mass Effect 3 did turn the entire series from a 8/10 to a 5/10 retroactively for me. It wasn't necessarily just the game being bad (the ending gets focused on, but the entire game was garbage), it was because the first 2 games teased really big things and 3 didn't deliver on any promises.
For example, I don't think the Matrix sequels diminish the original, since the original was pretty stand-alone, but Mass Effect 1 and 2 leaned heavily on setting up a bigger plot that didn't pan out.

Is that an adult Link version of the same place?

Nah master quest is OOT with every dungeon remade, some of them are insane, namely jabu jabu
Water temple is easier in it though
You can play MQ on the 3DS version, unlocks after beating the game

Am I reading it wrong or are you bashing PS:T gameplay?

I still love the Mass Effect series. I love the lore and the gameplay. The ending didn't ruin it for me.

PS:T did not excel in playability, I'm sorry to break the news.
I expect to feel similarly. I'm not as nitpicky as the gaming masses usually tend to be.
the gameplay.....of the videogame....was better.....
In This Thread: People who once played DOTA2 discuss the merits of games from a completely different genre.
I myself have sworn of the accursed game for the loving embrace The Division which I'm enjoying a lot more than any of BioWare's three piss-poor attempts to make a shooter.

With gameplay I mean the fights and stuff, for me ME is more about the dialogue and story, which ME3 failed at miserably. And no, not just the ending, that was just one of my complaints about the game.

ofc blink on tiny is amazing
got a tiny on my team yesterday, he got blink but somehow didn't even know how the combo works. also missed a ton of avalanches.

the dialogue and story in me1 is kind of trashé too tho
It's passable, and it pulled me through the game, but definitely not above your average video game schlock.

Good taste detected.
she was a better voiceactor but the damn character was still trash
honestly while I liked mass effect 1, through the whole game I kept thinking how much better star control 2's world was realized , and how much they borrowed from it.
same but homeworld
is being king of shit mountain a thing to be proud of?
