Ouch! Liara, I feel sorry for you.

They could've used the ME2 LOTSB texture and change eye colours, it would've been 10x better

When your remaster looks worse than a 10+ year old game: Mass Effect Edition.

BioWare is so dead they can't even get cashgrabbing right.

The time has come, for me to finally try this



Unless I manage to get a key for Solasta or I take too long in completing this and Solasta comes out, then this game can go fuck itself

The boring lighting is a direct result of them switching over to the engine handling all that, before they faked the lighting. Now it's real-time and realistic (=environment is supposed to create atmosphere on its own by casting shadows, spreading light naturally - e.g white skin will reflect light realistically). Obviously it doesn't work here because the environment is too empty and dull. The game and its levels, characters wasn't created with this rendering in mind.

It's very lazily done, they changed to modern rendering methods, but didn't give a crap that the environment and architecture for the most part just isn't complex enough to create anything interesting out of that change, it'll just look flat.

Did normies really seethe about the mako controls in ME1? I don't remember having a problem with it but I played the PC port and it was totally fine.

Even the die-hards over on the Mass Effect reddit are bitching about the lighting. They are all hoping a day 1 patch will fix it. Honestly, I don't think it's likely. Believe it or not, this seems to be what Bioware intended.

Why do all the human characters now look like they've lost a vicious boxing match at some point? I realize the lighting has considerably worsened in this remaster, but surely that alone isn't screwing things over.

ME3's multiplayer was pretty fun, so there actually was a good reason to get it legally

That's true. I think I spent a couple hundred hours on it. It almost is enough to make up for my extreme butthurt at the ending of the story.
So that's the trick.

I don't care about MP at all, so my butthurt about that fuck-you ending is still immeasurable. And the reason I won't buy the remake.
Just don't see the point knowing that ending.
