I'm a big Mass Effect fan. I loved 2, and enjoyed 3, but I never played the first one. I was fired up for Mass Effect: Andromeda, but after hearing all the negative/mediocre reviews I kept it wrapped up and felt that I should probably get through the first game and enjoy its story.

Sure the original game came out in 2007 and the combat feels a lot older, and that Mako can be hard as hell to drive. But story trumps all for me, so it's Mass Effect right now, and then I'll get to Andromeda once they make their promised improvements.
