I'm amazed that more people didn't consider the story was trash with the intro of ME2. They ignored the consul believing in the reapers than killed Shepard for a time skip. They made the story about fighting bug monsters in a main plot that made no sense unless you already read the script. I could go on and on and on
Its because ME2 was a lot of people's favorites, either for being a lot tighter in the gameplay department or because of the squadmate stories being quite good (with a few really good newcomers). Not to mention the Illusive Man killing it VA wise.
The overall story of ME2 being trash gets forgotten in people's memories until you actually have to go back and replay it. Which means it gets hyped up well beyond its flaws.
