I'd recommend Mass Effect 2, I like you wasn't entirely engrossed in Mass Effect, I gave the second one a chance and fell in love with it. It really tugs at your emotions at some points and well i'll not spoil anymore.
I would recommend Mass Effect 2 as well, i did play the first one and well it was a great game, the story was just meh in my opinion, played Mass Effect 2 and wow my opinion of the series was changed, the story was better, the gameplay was better. Ive yet to play the 3rd one( i own it, just havent got round to playing it) but ive heard a lot about it and well i might delay playing it a bit longer XDWell, my brother owns it so I'll probably give the second one a chance once I'm off my Super Smash Bros. Brawl kick. That'll probably be awhile though.
Does anyone else here play any RPG's or JRPG's at all?? im currently play a game called Tales of Vesperia on my Xbox 360 (when im not playing WWE 13).
It is a bright and colourful JRPG but it has funny dialouge( dont know how to spell that word) a kind of interesting story and the gameplay is simple but it is tactical at times too. I would recommend picking it up, but it is rare to find in stores and on ebay, people want you to pay £30,£40 or even £50 for it as it is quite rare. Only pick up if you want to spend that kind of money and want to play a JRPG
