If you like story the most, play the first one.
If you value combat the most play the 3rd one.
If you like combat and interesting character background stories play ME2.


well, seeing as how i have no idea what the story is, and dont know any characters...i should choose 3?

If you're the kind of person that rather skips cut scenes and ends dialogue conversations asap, just point me to the next goal, sure.
Otherwise you'll probably be wondering what they're on about half the time.



Around the Network

On the one hand, you won't understand the significance of all of your various meetings and some of the game's brilliant events. You won't know why you're so close to Garrus and Liara, or really understand what's going on with the Quarians and Geth, or any number of other things.

On the other hand, you won't be nearly as disappointed by the ending as the rest of us were, and the gameplay is still great (and though the multiplayer is often overlooked, it's a brilliant part of the game).

So, if possible, play the first two (or at least ME2), but don't miss out on ME3. You'll be able to complain about the ending like the rest of us, and who doesn't love to complain?

My brother rented ME3 for me, and i was wondering if i should give it a chance seeing as how i haven't played the other 2 games. I know choices are transported from games and i know how important they are, that's why i am asking


Yes, it is an excelent game.    3rd person mechanics are almost flawless; you can upgrade your character as you go in the story; and MOST part of the story is superb.   All what you need to know is in the screen after the prologue; it is kind of a resume of the plot, in an extreme way; but all the important things are there.

And also the graphics are damn Amazing!!

My advice is no , try playing the other 2 first ffs or you will not understand the endingit´s worth the wait i assure you


I disagree. By not playing the first two games he may not notice what a plot hole, lore breaking, cluster fuck the ending is.
