Mass Effect.

SS1 is amazing, why does nobody play it? This achievement you get literally 10 minutes into the game, did people just buy the game, see the HUD and instantly uninstall?

>13.5%
That's pretty rough

Looking at Steam achievement progress is sad.

>game has millions of sales
>10% have gotten the very first, most basic achievement available

The music is so grating to my ears that I had to force myself to get to the second level. When I saw that it didn't get any better, I just turned it off. The music was so bad I legitimately thought the game was broken.

The music is fucking top tier, scrub.

I don't know dude, I tried to enjoy it I swear but it really can't describe it as anything other than grating. I was so surprised at it that I spent 10 minutes googling trying to find a fix for what I thought was a bug or something wrong with my game.

SS2 is better.
SS1 is a good game but the labyrinthian design is mostly pointless (SS2 still has complex level design but areas are actually logically designed and have valuable things in them), and it just doesn't have the same quality of sound design/atmosphere/etc. SS2's RPG elements can get annoying occasionally but they were overall a very good addition, SS1 was in desperate need of some form of extra progression given that its combat mechanics were wildly inferior to its contemporaries (the original Doom came out just a year earlier).

Nah, 1 is leagues better. And Prey is a better SS2.

Good talk, I guess? Have a nice day, phoneposter.

>phoneposter
What makes you think that?

Marathon >>>> SS1

They're not even remotely comparable.

I was just about to post Security, great choice user. Beta Grove is also pretty great:

Sort of. I think gsc were improvements over this.
Rse and dpp are kind of their own thing, so I don’t like comparing them to the first 2 gens.
Gen 5 is my favorite but I don’t like comparing it to any of the previous gens because it’s really different.
(The other gens are ok I guess but they are also their own thing imo.)

Can’t speak for SS1 but I ran SS2 from the exe directly without Steam open so I finished it with only 2 minutes recorded on my account.

SS1 filters zooms because of the controls and graphics, and "improving" the controls and graphics is a downgrade as the game was not designed for that at all.
Play it with the adlib music. Almost no one had a MT32 at the time and it sounds terrible as the output wasn't really standardized unlike with fm synth.
