We all look back at Garrus and think "He's so cool and funny, what a bad-ass" but none of that showed in ME1 at all

Haha, yeah. He was such an earnest, well-meaning, stick-in-the-mud dorkball in ME1. My heart leapt when I caught up to him in ME2 and he had become the turian I always knew he could be.
ME1 laid a great foundation for things to come, but I really don't see how anyone can really think it's the best of the series in either writing (hey my names ashley n i hate aleins lolz! yay humies!) or gameplay (a footshot is just as good as a headshot!).

Looking at the tone of my previous posts, it looks like I don't like ME1.
This is not the case. ME1 is really a very good game, even great. I enjoyed it immensely, and it's one of my favorite RPGs in a long time.
But the perspective of time and superior sequels really highlights the way in which the game fell short, and the idyllic way that a lot of people see the game doesn't make a ton of sense to me

Couldn't agree more.
ME1 was not a "AAA" game when it was released, most people overlooked it. PS3 fans rubbished it and said it was boring etc etc.
....Oh look now, there's some notable faces in this thread who may well fall into the list of PS3 fans who called it out quoting the "bad frame rate". "poor texture loading"...
(Of course, they hadn't actually played the game).

ME1 was AAA in from the 2005-2007 region of development after Kotor was finished at Bioware. The bugs were all apart of usual first game issues, but it was still amazing nevertheless. The game was expected to have an increased production value and doubly so after being purchased by EA after the first game showed how popular the first was.

AAA isn't a personal view, it's a market view. The market view was that it was a mess...at the time. (of course now we all love it like it was the brother we lost at birth and suddenly turned up and we embrace with open arms)
It wasn't tripple AAA.
(IMO it was, but that means nothing).
