Looks like a ton of gamers are missing out on a fantastic experience.

Anybody else wonder if the ME1 carryover turned off a lot of people that either never finished the first or didn't play it at all?

I think that the first Mass Effect left a bad mark on a lot of people (which doesn't mean it's not a great game). I bought a 360 for the game and was very disappointed, I only ever got up to the part were I join the council and then I left it unfinished because it had some annoyances. Mass Effect 2 is apparently better, but I'm guessing some people don't want take the chance yet or are worried that unless they finish the first they won't understand the second.

Yikes.  Assuming you meant becoming a Spectre, you missed the meat of why the game is so great.  Especially the last hour or so.

But your last sentence was the main point that I was getting at.  Wonder if anyone ever did a poll somewhere ...
