User blog comment:Battlemaster Grunt/What is the best Mass Effect? 1,2, or 3?/@comment-5093119-20130718221805

Here are the 3 in order from best to worst in different categories. Story/plot: ME1 (PERFECT+MEMORABLE), ME3 (Reapers beaming human specimens doesn't make sense, and ending, but STILL a good story), ME2 (was completely contrived and not a proper time-skip, death was out of nowhere and was not necessary for plot progression, Collectors not mentioned in previous game, etc.) Combat: ME3 (ALMOST PERFECT), ME1 (less glitches than ME2, and makes me laugh when playing), ME2 (ME2's combat glitches whenever I play Vanguard= UNACCEPTABLE) DLC: ME3 (ignoring 1st-day DLC fiasco, I LOVE Javik's integration into story + humorous Citadel DLC was great and expansive, previous choices reflecting characters' lines), ME2 (arrival filled with plot holes, have yet to play Lair of the Shadow Broker), ME1 Characters: ME3 (interact with world and player best), ME1 (Saren= BEST antagonist ever!), ME2 (ME2's characters were mostly in the wrong game, Mordin being the only necessary one, aside from old squadmates. Characters were mostly ruthless and less understandable than "normal" ME1 squadmates. Harbinger's motivations were unclear= not a good antagonist.)
