After the raving reviews from both magazines and users I decided to give this game a try. I bought the trilogy for PS3 and I just finished the mission in Virmire in the original Mass Effect.
Well, I'm kind of bored. I guess I don't care about the story that much for it carry the game. I don't find the game mechanics enjoyable enough by themselves. I was enjoying it quite a lot at the beginning, talking to NPCs in the Citadel and doing all the side quests. I like sci-fi and the setting and lore seemed genuinely interesting. But the story and lore can't keep me entertained for the 25h or so I put into this game, after a while it starts to drag despite some interesting moments in the story.
The rest of the game is just alright. I'm starting to really hate the Mako and the rest of the combat is... eh. I guess there's some depth there that I'm not digging for. It's probably my fault because I think I'm not really into WRPGs, I thought this game might have convinced me and I was very interested in the sci-fi setting, but I guess it's not for me.
That's it, just sharing my thoughts about it. Do you think ME2 will change my mind or should I quit the trilogy?
Also, I guess, share your thoughts about the game and why you loved/disliked it or whatever.

I too absolutely loath the Mako portions of the game. I actually just beat the game 6 more times in the last month (3 times on paragon, 3 times on renegade) and I actually made myself a 'necesity' list for the missions to see which ones would carry on into ME2/3 and just skipped other missions on the first two playthroughs of each character disposition.
That was the only bad thing imo about the game and I thought the storyline was amazing. The directing/editing at a lot of times was way off for some cut scenes. They definitely could have done a better job on the immersion of the cut scenes.
Overall though the game is fantastic and ME2 is even better but has less RPG elements.
