"There's no way in hell you can tell me Dragon Age 2 or Mass Effect 3 is better than the Dragon Age: Origins or the original Mass Effect."

Mass Effect 3 is much better than Mass Effect 1. ME1 was a great game, but it had its issues: repetitive environments, tedious planetary exploration, and an unwieldy yet easily broken combat system. ME3 brings the series' major plot arcs to a close with intense and emotional moments, has a greatly improved combat system from the original game, and has some of the best enemy AI I've seen in a video game.

And what happened to Mass Effect after EA purchased BioWare? Why, the series sold better than it did before. Both ME2 and ME3 outsold ME1, and BioWare's numbers of confirmed completion showed that a greater percentage of people who bought ME3 finished it in five months than ME1 in five years.
