• Should I play Mass Effect first?

I played Mass Effect 2 today for about 20 minutes and I really liked it. Now I'm thinking about buying it. But I'm not sure if i should play the first game first? I remember playing it about a year ago and I did not like it much at all. Maybe I've changed my mind since I like ME2? They are pretty similar, right? So, play the first game or jump right into ME2?
ME1 has worse gameplay, but is a better RPG with more to do. Also, it'll effect your ME2 universe, I'd say go for it.
Yes, play it then transfer your save to ME2. Watch out for the crazy transition between gameplay between the games though.
If you started with ME2... prepare for disappointment.
Starting a series with 2 before 1 is just dumb anyway.
I recommend playing the first one, but just a heads up, there's a lot of boring bits.

Maybe I'll hate it even more than the first time I tried it since I like ME2's gameplay now?

ME1 is just as brilliant as ME2, only a bit different gameplay wise.
