Mass Effect Legendary Edition remaster trilogy

[Nano]

Rusty actually makes a good point. Is the reaction to the graphics here a sign that Codexers are bigger graphics whores than other gamers?

 

[Lacrymas]

For the record, I wish to say I hate the cancerous DRM they introduced too. That, coupled with the fact you need the Origin launcher, means I'll pirate it if I can find a version in German. If not, I simply won't play it, lol.

Codex GOTY 2021.

virgin codextard: "omg grafx! look at the shadows!"
chad rusty: "why does my remaster have malware in it?"

Both are good points, why argue?

because I don't care in the least about graphics

Sure, but this is a graphical remaster.

You basically agree with others that the original is preferable, but for different yet also valid reasons. Great.

The only reason to argue more and say you have better reasons is to stroke your dick. A good reason, I'll admit.

pretty sure it was supposed to improve the combat of ME1 -- which is generally agreed to be poor.

Did they even succeed at that though? Early reports indicate that they just made the game easier.

I'll author the definitive codex edition review when the codex edition releases.

Are you really surprised people who don't even play games only enjoy pictures of said games?

Basically: no. Not much in the way of changes. Anyone talking about AI improvements is an idiot.

Quality product.

Remember when people didn't buy ME3 because of the origin DRM on it?. That was one of the reasons I bever bought it, as well as the shitty ending. Now years later it seems there's still DRM on the re-release and people are buying it.

Pathetic millenials and generation Y. No standards like GenX.

Replayed ME1 for the first time in more than ten years.
Game is fucking repetitive and now that I already know the story and plot twists, there was little reason to keep on playing past the first few hours. There's no sense of progression whatsoever and the gunfight felt terrible. I played through it all anyway, for the sake of completionism and academic research. And mostly because immersion is very very very good in ME1. I forgot how good it felt to be galactic james bond. It works very well despite the fake c&c etc being very apparent, and the lackluster gameplay.
On the bright side, it's probably one of the best written games from BioWare and I would have fucking loved to play a sequel written in the same fashion instead of the action B movie we got.

On another note, Anderson, Tali and Alenko were very likable characters and I regret they didn't get reused in a satisfying fashion in later games as well.

Overall, considering how meh the sequels are, I think this Legendary Edition is not worth it despite the few improvements. Writing is exactly the same in the original game, go play that if you want to know what this is about.

Pathetic millenials and generation Y

also like to rant about the ending.

They just don't understand that some quality and potential that ME ever had, ended with Peter Gabriel's song.

I tried replaying it a few years ago and I came out with the same impression. I didn't get more than 5-6 hours in.

It's a remaster peddled for $60 on the back of supposedly enhanced visuals. If it fails at that then it deserves to be shitted on.

 

[Chippy]

£55 on Steam in the UK. That's $78 US. Whatever happened to the days when you could pick up an old game re-released in the bargain bin for £2.99?. Let's say (adjusting for inflation) that x3 games @ £2.99 each is approx £15-£20 by today's standards. So about 2/3rds of the remaining worth of the entire trilogy is priced for the DLC?.

I've been waiting all these years to play the third one just for the sake of completionism. Thought I'd pick it up without the DRM on Steam or Gog one day. But who gives a fuck. I'll pass.

Amazing that you're able to type such retardation while fellating yourself.

Did the same and can only agree that ME has extremely poor gameplay. Jesus Christ, was it ever a chore to get through!

Very nice art, music and to a lesser extent writing though.

 

[Lacrymas]

The ME trilogy had ambition if nothing else. It's not easy creating such a humongous world and lengthy games. Too bad they ruined all of it with the ending to 3, i.e. the Milky Way galaxy is literally unusable now due to the immense changes either ending brings to the setting. But yeah, the gameplay is abysmal in all 3, even when only compared to other shooters.

ME3 on insanity is a fine shooter
ME2 AI is too dumb and insanity is just bullet sponge, ME1 is clunky

Everytime i read people complaining about "poor gameplay" in the first game, i wonder if the only classes they ever played were soldier or infiltrator.I had a blast playing as an adept, engineer or sentinel. With master lift(no progression, right) i could even crowd control a geth colossus. Later, most tech and biotics became fancy finishers, being the worst abilities in the second game. Even the vanguard, a dull one trick pony(even charge becomes boring if its the only effective power you have and use).Even the Soldier becomes worse, ammo "powers" and bullettime, thats it.

 

[donkeymong]

And regarding enemy diversity, no more enemy snipers in 2, krogans a joke, biotics are war spammers and engineers just using the drone and incinerate. Quite pathetic.
