Report: EA Is Remastering The ‘Mass Effect’ Trilogy At Long Last (Unconfirmed)

[X Pac Heat]

I thought the original outline was that the Reapers motivation was to discover some sort of solution to the dark matter problem, as it was causing the universe to die or something? and by wiping out sentient life they were postponing an end while they came up with a solution or something?

and then the guy behind the story left and they decided it was some weird "AI stopping AI from destroying everything by destroying everything." shit

 

[TerrorSperg99]

I really wish they had made it for next generation consoles and done more than just a simple texture upgrade

 

[Superman93]

I’m beginning to think some of haven’t played the whole trilogy or has forgotten most of the gameplay and lore because of how long it’s been.

Sort of, it's more that Sentient species will inevitably develop dark energy technology as a means of FTL travel but it damages the very fabric of the unierse and by the time they realize what is happening it is too late. The Reapers cull species every 50,000 years as a means of preservation and to help curb the damage. The mass relays are left behind to rapidly bring the new races up to speed on the tech level as it would take 100,000 of years for them to perfect mass effect technology all the while slowly dooming themselves to an apocalypse they would never see coming. While the mass relays ultimately contribute to the dark energy crisis, they are by the the most efficient and least damaging. The ultimate end choice of trilogy would be to surreder to the reapers and allow the cycle to continue or to refuse them and let the galaxy decide their own fate.

More like unceremoniously booted off it and forced onto the TORtanic

what kind of game is that?

nope, it's the trope of preventing people from fucking things up by making silica animus and men of iron, it all started with leviathans being high and mighty faggots.

do a time jamp and the catalyst still dumb as fuck for a artificial intelligence to not figure it out the 3 laws of asimov.

also a bit of nagging but femshep differences from ME1-2 and ME3:

i think it's a bit of mein faggotry but on ME1 she's kinda hot and ME2 she looks even hotter with renegade scars/eyes, on ME3 she looks like a standard female RPG chick which is supposed to look hot but fail miserably as fuk on that and they did a bet on people having a boner for redheads so they made her a souless ginger because why not?

This is something that I remember seeing people talk about years ago, how "ghettoizing" sexual content only to the realm of internet pornography is dangerous because of how so much more extreme internet porn tends to be.

It's definitely pants on head retarded that people get a stick up their ass about a little cheesecake in a video game and then point people towards way more sexist content instead.

the biggest irony is that the gold standard of "mature writing" by hack soitards is stuffing it full of gratuitous sex and violence. and lot's of swearing a teenager would find hard cringe.
but sure, ass shots are the real danger to society.

A lot of people say that ME2 is the best game,

it let people probe uranus, so it's pretty easy to understand who likes me2 more.

The only saving grace of the game is the combat is the best of the three

(marauder) shields fucking everywhere, and whoever decided binding run AND cover AND use on the same fucking button (which is also hardcoded on pc, it's not like unreal engine and a whole keyboard couldn't handle it otherwise) deserves nothing else than cleaning curry thunder's poo bowl for the rest of his fucking life.

bioware "combat" was always pure incompetent jank, which only got worse when they started design it like this:

ironically anthem has actually damn great combat, which I assume wasn't done by them.

ME is dead. Andromeda killed it. This doesn't matter.

that's not how you spell me3.

Wasn't Anthem basically ME:A 2 in terms of gameplay?

They removed a bunch of features in ME3 (like the ability to holster your weapon) because of the consoles limitations. They really didn't give a shit about the PC.

Don't forget that it also triggers the fucking dodge roll, too. The number of times I died because the game did one and not the other.... Jesus fucking Christ.

EDIT: I will also be forever mad that my favorite class, Soldier, got done dirty in the sequels. "What's that? You want to laugh off a Krogan trying to cave in your skull by stacking damage reduction through class passive, heavy armor, and an Immunity with such a short cooldown it might as well be a fucking passive? FUCK YOU!" Bastards couldn't even restore the Soldier's heal for ME3. No, I don't want to tear people in half with biotics or overheat their weapons. I want to laugh as their space magic attacks do nothing and they die to the most pleb weapon of all time: the assault rifle.

 

[ZMOT]

nope, it's the trope of preventing people from fucking things up by making silica animus and men of iron, it all started with leviathans being high and mighty faggots.

that's just lore and background explanation why the reapers look the way the do (down to the full on retarded human t-800 reaper), the moral choice for the trilogy is assumed to be how to deal with the dark energy (which you could take as an allegory for environmentalism).

either way would've been a better choice than MUH SYNTHETICS. also would've saved us from kurtzman rehashing that shit for his crappy picard series.
really, the dumber pop media got the more I get a "pretending idiots attract real idiots" vibe over the years.

that's just bioware being shit, same reason miranda looks like robert z'dar.
in their defense tho, the haircolor wasn't up to them - although a foregone conclusion because red is always the hair color of choice for some reason, dunno if it's because it's more rare or more striking in art or whatever (even before artworks were mostly replaced by latinx with sidecut, afros and cowpoo, white chicks still have red hair most of the time).

not really, it's basically an "open world" iron man simulator. different suits actually play differently with enough variation you can build for different playstyles etc. it sounds and looks great, guns and powers feel weighty and have oomph (compared to the plastic feeling softair shit everybody is jerking destiny off for), all in all combat is fucking fun. if you find it for a few bucks I'd definitely give it a try, because they'll probably ruin it with the re-release.

the worst parts are probably the "authentic bioware experience" like story and characters (lore is good tho, nothing special but it showed again what a difference a competent writer like karpyshyn can make).

gameplay itself is solid and not at all what you'd expect from bioware. similar to how me3 multi doesn't feel like it (since it was done by the same studio that later made andromeda, go figure).

EDIT: didn't want to doublepost, assumed someone else had replied when posting it.

Not only they didn't respect the vote but they made a shitty 3D face that didn't even look like the artwork.

Yeah, I died several times in the multiplayer because of that shit.

I will also be forever mad that my favorite class, Soldier, got done dirty in the sequels.

Really? I thought that was the most OP class.

>"Oh, the blonde femshep won but the tumblr fanbase don't like the result? Well, the redhead is the winner!"

the artwork was already ridiculous, for all that complaining about "sexists treating women like objects" they certainly had no issue with femshep wearing fucking heavy makeup. guess it only counts if it's lipstick...

the only good thing that came out of me3 was the multiplayer, some feels built up during the first 2 games, and sebdoom getting inspired to cope with music.

 

[Snekposter]

Really? I thought that was the most OP class.

Far from it. For ME2 the damage tanking aspect got swapped to Sentinel, leaving just weapons versatility, and you had biotic and tech explosions show up for combo damage. Infiltrator got free slow-mo while zooming, which combined with the Widow meant you were able to effortlessly headshot everything no matter what. The removal of armor damage reduction also hurt the soldier's survivability since only he could wear the heaviest, best suits in ME1, leaving again just ammo choices for firepower. Adrenaline rush was handy, but not as powerful as say, Immunity had been. You also had the auto-regen get made standard to all classes, taking away yet another massive advantage. Now, you did get the Revenant, which combined with the accuracy upgrade was a fucking scythe, but ME3 nerfed the ever-loving shit out of that weapon for MP. Vanguards also got Charge, so instead of needing to risk cover-to-cover movement to get close, could just pop a charge for damage/stun, then use their shotgun with no need to use cover-and-move to advance. For ME3. tech and biotic explosions got made ever more vital, and the continuing lack of damage reduction severely hampered the soldier's ability to tank damage, plus the severe emphasis on cover in gameplay design severely hampered their ability to use heavy weapons or advancing fire as you'd expect them to do. They became mostly a one-trick pony of "set things on fire", which while handy still isn't as impressive as what an Adept could pull with biotics. its also worth noting that sheer damage output is less important than crowd control, especially on higher difficulties, and soldiers had no tools to do that in ME2/3. In ME1 they could leave cover and just tank any aggro with Immunity but... nope.

The tumblrinas obsession with Femshep and Bioware’s continued ass kissing to her is helping ruin the good memories of the game.

The play stats they used to share showed male Shepard was massively picked over female, in one game I think it was 80-85%. Even when they used Femshep for the ME3 trailer and made the disc cover reversible to have female Shepard it only made her pick rate rise to 25%. So no shit they will have Miranda’s ass there to honeypot Shepard and the player.

The new legendary edition looks like it’s pushing this more with Femshep being a lithograph.

voting was simply making shepard either black/asian or a white chick with odd eyebrows rather than keeping her design from ME1-2 because bitches complained, kinda like the retard that complained about witcher 3 "being too long" which resulted in CP2077 having a cuckish lore (crowbcat's video as a quest designer saying that he will make CP shorter because of the "too long" nag), "it something they had in mind to implement but needed a scapegoat" in gdev terms, thankfully you can port shepard's appearance if you play the trilogy and something something tells me you won't be able to port your non-remaster shepard into remaster but that's mainly a guesswork because soylent retards in gaemdev positions, like trying to mix oil with water...

still, the dark matter thing is more lore whacky because it's manipulated by electrified eezo. it's powers are interesting because on the mission where you rescue Tali, it shows that the reapers were being dicks about it by killing suns with dark matter waves to produce eezo for them to keep making reapers since they have massive eezo cores which makes their shields nearly-impenetrable... so yeah, writers having brainfarts over the established lore do's and don'ts.

the worst parts are probably the "authentic bioware experience" like story and characters (lore is good tho, nothing special but it showed again what a difference a competent writer like karpyshyn can make).

bioware riters are good minus the masive perversion like say, CDPR's riters, at least the OG ones where they had to write the relationships and branching parts of the sidequests, still Anthem being a problemo was it being online, the characters being dry to a point of preteding anthem was a SP game and the main trading world being dead is a complaint i saw about anthem, were anthem was released as SP but with a fleshed-out companion system... it wouldn't be as shat on as it was but EA wanted to jump the online bandwagon so they picked the worst possible studio to try that, kinda like Dawngate got done dirty by not becoming the next LoL in two months of beta... sure bioware was free to do games but they really had to pick a SP-focused studio to do a online game?

I'm glad it isn't, because if it was more a redo they would have stripped all the attractive women out.

These fuckheads can't help themselves, they hate the sight of the female body as much as a radical Muslim man hates to see a woman out of her Burka.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

again, this could have been nice to have all games in one package so i would not have to pirate everything if i ever wanted to replay the series. problem with that is i will need an origin account to even play these games. also the point of the ass shot of Miranda was to show us she was genetically superior both mentally and physically to give her an edge in life like her father designed her to be. people are such faggots for not allowing women to be proud off how sexy they are and brag about it.

because it makes the ugly women feel bad, even if the woman is imaginary.

 

[ZMOT]

so yeah, writers having brainfarts over the established lore do's and don'ts.

because that was in 2 when the fuckery started. expecting consistency between all 3 games is futile, writers changed between each game.

sure bioware was free to do games but they really had to pick a SP-focused studio to do a online game?

bioware gets picked because of the name, same way dice still gets to shit up battlefields/fronts. EA for some reason thinks that's what makes people buy their games no matter what and/or they are the only ones with the experience to do so, when those studios in reality haven't been good in years. that's what also lead to the abomination that was TOR at launch.

as for anthem, the online aspect is fine and should've been extended more since that was their main goal, plus implementing companions in a way it would be satisfying in game like anthem is hard, and way out of the ability of bioware.
instead we got this weird pseudo-vn you have to do alone with meh story and predictable "twist" (complete with whole cutscenes), probably because OMG BIOWARE THE MASTERS OF RPG (back in the 00's). just cut that shit down, make the story more interactive and properly commit to the destiny clone you wanted to make, not that half assed crap they shat out at the end.

by now it's mostly fixed (and the story is over at some point), all it would need is more content. you can only fly around the same map for so long (although they managed to switch it up a long in how certain missions work with randomization etc.).

thankfully they won't touch maleshep's appearance.

if they do what's left of tumblr will probably burn the studio down if they can't flick their bean to sheploo anymore...
