Comment on Leaked trailer for the cancelled game Mass Effect: Universe

I’ll sound like a hipster, but I still like ME1 the best because it was this interesting promise of an expansive sci-fi RPG world. The world did expand but it sanded off the RPG.

My favorite is still ME2. I feel like it did the best balancing action and RPG elements without becoming too “Call of Duty”-esque or being weighed down by RPG bullshit or time sink.
ME1’s “you can hold a sniper rifle, but you’re too brain dead to use it” if you didn’t pick Soldier was a great example of being too RPG bullshit to me. You’re telling me I have the accuracy of a drunk child with a sniper rifle because I picked playing Adept or Engineer? I’m glad they fixed it in the remake.
