Mass Effect Legendary Edition remaster trilogy

[Joggerino]

I'm just curious if they really threw out all the ass scenes? The game is called Ass effect after all..

All the same issues and worse can be said about DAI, but that got GOTY and a bunch of expansions and got sucked off by the gaming media.

MEA was one of the first games taken down by the 'youtube effect' where a bunch of content creators shit on a game nonstop using cherrypicked scenes rather than actual nuance and insightful critiques for easy views.
MEA had a lot of issues, but most of the common complaints people bring up are ones I didn't even experience when I played it. Easier to just post pictures of "my face hurts" than discuss why so much was lacking in creativity and originality when designing a game set in a new galaxy.
Bioware is equally to blame for just abandoning it after it shipped. Seriously, fuck them, the game basically ends on a major cliffhanger.

But yes, MEA is better than Outerworlds. I don't even think it's close. MEA had genuinely fun combat due to its Frostbite heritage, and the planet exploration parts were actually fun and obviously heavily inspired by ME1.
Outerworlds, I have trouble thinking of anything positive to say about it at all.

Even without all the bad animations, soyboy MC and cringy NPCs, MEA was just boring. I was the first ME and second Bioware game (first was DAI) I didn't even finished. I wasn't angry like with ME3 or DA2 (that I both finished at least once). I just stopped playing, maybe laugh at some YT compilations and moved on.

Citadel DLC is easily the best part of the entire series

you're entitled to your opinion, but your opinion is wrong

 

[Caim]

It says more about the series than it does about Rusty though.

Citadel DLC is cool.
But Leviathan DLC is something more.

The atmosphere of the walk up to Leviathan at the very end of the DLC is one of the most atmospheric set pieces in the entire game. Too bad that it's a very short segment.

 

[ADULF HITLOR FAN KLUB]

Leviathan is cool, but Shadowbroker is by far the best DLC.

 

[mediocrepoet]

It's like you guys haven't even played Pinnacle Station.

Citadel? Leviathan? Please.

 

[Tyrr]

From all the DLC I played, Shadowbroker was the best. Didn't played any ME3 ones. I was so disgusted after playing it once, never touched that shit again.

 

[Technomancer]

Pinnacle Station.

So good that they cut it from remaster :D

Content can't be prestigious without exclusivity.

Official stats from EA on people's choices playing the LE:

 

[Nano]

Only 4% sabotaged the genophage cure? That is so lame. Enjoy getting overrun by gazillions of krogan, dumbasses.

Also, there's a 14% increase of Femshep players since 2013.

What's wrong with creating a logical antagonist for ME5?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

the Wrex one: wtf

 

[Kaivokz]

Outerworlds, I have trouble thinking of anything positive to say about it at all.

Playing low int not only gives you dumb options, but unlocks a high-IQ choice: fly your spaceship into the sun and completely bypass the final shitty area.

It also lets you Zapp Brannigan by turning down all responsibility for a bowl of ice cream at the end, which is tonally much more inline with the rest of the game.

the Wrex one: wtf

yeah isn't the only requirement for that is not to kill wrex in ME1?

 

[Nano]

A lot more casual players represented in the ME3 infographic. Meeting Wrex requires importing a save from ME1 and ME2.

oh so bioware fucked them :D

or Wrex had too many reminiscing lines(?) so Wreav was a better fit for them.

Interesting how so few people play sentinels, adepts or engineers. What's so bad about these?

No gun skills. How're you supposed to be the Call of Duty in space badass if you don't have gun skills?

Sentinels are a defensive/support class in a game that requires you to be the tip of the spear. Also, due to poor design, other classes have more companion buffing ability through ammo powers.

Infiltrators have the same skills as an Engineer, but can also do more damage, turn invisible, and use a sniper rifle.

Adepts are strong, but not until high level, so they are generally a bad choice unless you are playing an imported character or new game+.

 

[Correct_Carlo]

Also, you can do everything an adept and engineer can do just by using squad powers. That's why I always pick a class based on which class has the most interesting guns + unique powers. It's why I always end up playing either Vanguard or Infiltrator in the end, as they both have the most unique playstyles in ME2 and ME3 (in ME1, class doesn't matter as much because all of your powers are the same as your teammates).
