Red Steel

I disliked the first game. Aiming with the Wii remote was a new experience and somewhat worked (though later games like Conduit and Metroid Prime 3 handled it a lot better), but controls in general were bad. It was just a bland and disapointing game overall.

Red Steel 2, however was great and somewhat underappreciated. Completely different from the original. It had motion+ controls which I felt worked great with both shooting and especially swordfighting. Also the style and atmosphere of the game was cool, mixing the Wild West and Japan. Truly a unique game, not much like it.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Tomb Raider: Legend

Not sure if they count because they were made by new teams.

Fable 3 was pretty fun, while I could barely play Fable 2. The games were pretty similar easy, button mashers, with a lot of fart jokes. The series is below average, but can be fun if given a chance.

Every Ass Creed after the original is a fun time. The only good thing about the original is a fun world to explore. All the rest have better worlds and greater gameplay variety.

Opinion?

the first Dragon Age is amazing

second terrible

third quite mediocre

you have it backwards!! the first one was incredible quality, surprised when I played it

ewww Dragon Age Inquistion is so bland

E.T. 2

Mass Effect 1's shooting feels terrible and it feels like weapons like any machine gun are basically useless (shot spread was way too high imo), the "skill tree" is crappy (especially the fact that you need to level up your morality paths...what?), the progression feels non-existant, the morality system was bland (unfortunately its not much better in the second), the citadel was horribly boring and way too big, the side quests were bad, planet exploration was horribly boring, etc.

Yeah, its an opinion, but I would like somebody to explain to me what exactly is better in ME1 than ME2...

I know, thats what I've heard, but I watch videos of DA 1 and I fall asleep...the aesthetic is just horribly unappealing and bland, while Inquisition is much much nicer looking (imo). I want to play DA 1 just because I've heard so many good things (and I have heard a good deal of bad things about DA:I) but every time I watch some videos I think "this just doesn't look appealing"

The inventory system and overabundance of useless loot was my main issue, oh and the mako too... I don't really HATE it but I feel ME 2 cleared those annoyances from the first and went straight to the point. And for that I love it a lot more! It may also help that I played ME 2 and 3 before playing 1 so my opinion is a bit biased since ME 2 was my first ME game.
