>The Gunplay improved in 2
At the cost of the rest of the gameplay being massively simplified to make room for being a Gears clone
And it still wasnt GOOD gunplay compared to actual shooters.
It was passable in a repetiive, "Would be very boring without the powers" kind of way. But unfortunately the powers all became "the square goes in the square hole, the circle goes in the circle hole" counters to barriers/armor/shields and all the fun stuff and customisation got massively trimmed down.
And by the time defences were down and you could do fun physics based stuff again, enemy died in a single headshot so there was no point wasting an ability cooldown when a single bullet did the trick.
Its boring game design that incentivises efficient tic-tac-toe ability usage.
I can see WHY they were doing what they were doing, but they didnt think it through and actively took fun away from ME1 in exchange for nothing of substance
