I don't think a soundtrack from a game has ever been as burned into my brain as the Mass Effect theme is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVm_ljDSdwA&t=59s

I'd really like for the remaster to be a success because I think I have one more playthrough of the ME series in me but at this point I'd be a fool to believe it will be anything other than an unmitigated disaster. Anyone who pre-orders it is a moron that's just not capable of learning from past mistakes.

Lt. Danger posted:apparently Bioware are running a survey about whether to change parts of the ME3 story? probably just a dumb publicity stunt but might be worth checking out https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/2BDQ5B3 It's coming out in May anything that they're changing they've already changed.

Error 404 posted:The story was bad, very few memorable or even likeable characters, and constant janky loving animations but... My read is that in ME the story is the gameplay. The shooting a mini-game to break things up a little. I spent way more time on the ship talking to people about the missions than I did in the actual missions.

Milkfred E. Moore posted:What does it even mean when they turn every Geth into an individual? Like, are there suddenly thousands of Geth granted individual sentience in each server? Are the processes forcibly amalgamated into groups of however many you need to make something like Legion? Is each Geth platform turned into an individual? It strikes me as a pretty horrible thing to do to the Geth. Like if someone turned all of your brain cells into a separate, sentient organism. Geth aren't necessarily conscious or self-aware. They're computer programmes that do different things but can work together to become more complex programmes. The better analogy is if all your braincells went from being separate unconscious parts to working together to create the you that you perceive as a single conscious being.

Am I misremembering or is there a scene towards the end of ME3 where if you get the Leviathans as a war asset there's a brief scene of one fighting a Reaper and it looks ridiculous because neither of them have forward facing limbs? I think I must be confusing this scene with something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHA3p4kMqcw Funky See Funky Do fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Feb 11, 2021 |

Shepherd at the end of ME3 seems like they've got a concussion, is bleeding to death, and generally doesn't know where they are or what they're doing. IIRC there's dialogue along the lines of "I..I don't know. What should I do?"

Hopefully technology has advanced to the point where players can choose to sexually harass any of their subordinates. From the janitor to the vice captain? I feel I should fess up I really have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to titles and responsibilities in these games.

Dapper_Swindler posted:i mean i think its clear, they are gonna make some variety of destroy the canon ending. also it wouldnt shock me if they add some new "after credit" scene. I think that's wishful thinking. I sincerely doubt they're going to add anything in terms of content. Assume they'll do the absolute bare minimum to call it a remaster and be pleasantly surprised at anything beyond that.

I just fired up Andromeda again because maybe this time around I know what to expect so it won't be so bad. As soon as I got to "*gasp* We made it." it all came flooding back. Made as far as the first moment the UI lock ended and I could quit to desktop. E: I want to play a space game dammit. Are there any hidden good ones out there?

TheCenturion posted:All this talk of space carriers and FreeSpace 2 making me miss Wing Commander something fierce. I have 4 on Origin. It sort of holds up and it's still kind of playable. Except it uses archaic arrow buttons to move instead of WASD and you can't remap the keys. Which undoes what I just said about it "sort of holding up" and being "kind of playable."

As much as Bioware has become a laughingstock under EA, Mass Effect was a genuinely inspired setting and another competent game in that setting would rule. Don't do this to yourself.

It should look like a game that came out this year not 5 or 6 years ago. Otherwise, why bother? I mean I know why to bother because people will buy it but, still, nevertheless.

I guess, but I have them all on Origin and you play them one at a time anyway. So the novelty of finishing 1 and then not having to close the game to start 2 would be extremely short lived.

If you didn't like it you won't like it. Don't waste your time on something that might not be too bad. There's a bunch of games out there that are just good without any qualifier and that you haven't played before.

When I played it I did all of the viability unlock poo poo first. So I got a mission to go back to the first planet where the game spoiled the ending for me and told me about poo poo I hadn't done yet as though I'd already done it. Seemlar posted:The main hurdle of the opening hours of Andromeda is it was the first Mass Effect game in a while where there's no save import, and no "we'll just start your character at level 20 so you can pick up close to where you left off" bonus those came with. The main hurdle with the opening hours of Andromeda is that it's boring and stupid and everyone sucks especially the person you're going to play for the next 60+ hours.

It feels like a teen drama set in space and almost every character is a teenager. If you think of the characters as a bunch of kids suddenly they don't seem so badly written. Mass Effect: The Academy Years and there's like a whoopsie or something in the quantum field generator and the class got launched into Andromeda, now they have to fend for themselves against the evil... Grorgs? What the hell were the bad guys called? The Keth?

I would have liked and ending where Shepard and the Star Child fight and it looks like the Star Child is going to win but then do you remember how Shepard has like red eyes after Cerberus made him into a robot? Well turns out they gave him eye beams and he uses those to blast the Star Child who falls off the citadel and dies (or does he?) Then Shepard would say something like "I guess we couldn't see eye to eye after all." Anyways that's what I would have done.

Now that it's been out for a while would people recommend getting the legendary edition to someone who already owned all 3 games and all DLC on origin? Am I to understand that beyond some graphical and UI improvements they haven't done anything else? No bugfixes? Does it introduce new bugs? E: Oh it's only been out for a few weeks. I thought it was over a month. Nevermind I'll come back and ask against after some patches.

A lot of people have gone back to try MEA and every single one of them was more disappointed than they were the first time. Mod can't save it. I'll be surprised if you made it off the first planet before all the memories of the first time come flooding back and you uninstall it.
