Mass Effect 1 is one of the greatest video games. I think 2 is the better game, but the first had so much more depth (in my opinion) and it was almost funner.
I liked how every enemy gave experience, I liked the looting, I liked the higher level cap, I liked proper story missions rather than companion missions, there were way more side-missions.
The second one was a great game and like I said it is the better of the two, but they completely gutted it compared to ME1 to appeal to the mass "shooter" audience and for me that lowered the game from a 10/10 to a 9/10.
I really hope they do a hybrid of ME1 and 2. Go back to proper RPG elements, looting (with a better inventory system, look at Dragon Age, their in-game menu for characters is amazing), experience for enemies, WAY more guns (back to the looting point).
Oh, and the new way to use Biotic is effing stupid. I hate how I can only use 1 power at a time then have to wait to reload to use another, I want to use 6 at a time dammit, and I want more than 4 abilities.
Completely gutted almost everything that made ME1 so great.
