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

No Exit said:
Yeah, hearing a Prothean was fucking DLC is what lead me to pirate the 3rd game. The most important species any person could be on your team, or shit just the galaxy in general, at that time and they make it DLC.
But in their defense, it's not like Javik played an important role in the story (he should have of course) so he probably was a scrapped idea until an EA exec came by the office one day asking about the sick new day-1 DLC that's mandatory for all EA owned companies.

Instead of remastering the whole series they should just polish/re-release the first game and totally overhaul 2 and 3. Make another actual RPG or 2 and leave generic bland 3rd person shooting to a team that actually has no creative talent.

Javik was originally the Catalyst.

Goddamn Asura's Wrath. I don't give a fuck what anyone says though, that game was dripping with style and I would have loved another game of that type.

I would sacrifice many games I'm looking forward to for an Asura's Wrath sequel, either direct or spiritual. It is the pinnacle of QTEs, and that you can't get it on PC without emulation is a crime.

Full Renegade in ME1 made Shepard into a human supremacist who didn't like aliens. I hated how this entire element to him was seemingly discarded in ME2 (and I assume ME3 but I didn't play it enough to really find out)

Hell ME2 had an element where Shepard absolutely hated AI, which made sense after ME1 and Eden Prime. This was seemingly completely discarded in ME3 as well.

They basically forced my Shepard to learn to love everyone and be diverse which I didn't like. Especially when it came to AI.

Pure renegade was always self-contradictory, even just within ME 1 itself. Playing full renegade is and has always been stupid, so play a hybrid and actually roleplay, damn the naysayers who started at ME 2 and complained that they couldn't hit the reputation checks.

"Actually Roleplay" when I'm complaining that I can't roleplay as a human supremacist throughout the entire series.

You don't have to actually go *full* renegade to be the human supremacist. But all of the human supremacist sentiment seemed to disappear in ME2 just like all the anti AI sentiment seemed to disappear in ME3.

Mass Effect was hardly a roleplaying series.

Yeah, apologies. I guess that was more of a general rant than anything else. The problem with Renegade is that it never had any form of coherent plan or theme beyond "asshole", and that results in a Shepard that plays Renegade for Renegade's sake coming off utterly inconsistent.
 
Damn shame too since Renegade was billed as "ruthless but ultimately pragmatic". Oh wait, I forgot, BioWare can't do morality that isn't "Evil" and "Not Evil". The most hilariously egregious example is Jade Empire. Great story, but the Open Hand/Closed Fist morality is about as black and white as it gets despite the game selling it to you as a choice between compassion and harsh love.

To be fair, I think the only thing most people remember about Jade Empire is that it let you do two chicks at the same time. Most video game "romance" is stupid, but if a game gives you a harem option, I think you're morally obligated to go for it.

Shepard must convince A/K he's not a murderer and that Kai Leng is the true enemy, or he'll have to kill her. With A/K resolved, Shepard then has an epic battle with Kai Leng and Cerberus reinforcements over who gets the Prothean (still frozen a trance). The war outside intensifies, with windows, roofs, walls, etc. blowing out in bomb attacks, giving a spectacular view of Thessia under fire. Kai Leng wins the fight regardless, sending Shepard crashing down through a stain-glassed window. The last thing Shepard sees before he blacks out is Kai Leng leaving with his new Prothean prize.

Truth is, the plot was a railroad from the start.

Tbh, I liked ME3, although it wasn't as good as ME2. And feel free to roast me for this but I enjoyed Andromeda as well. Andromeda was certainly the weakest chapter in the series and probably would have done better if it didn't have such big shoes to fill. I thought it was a better than average Sci Fi game. It almost felt more like a Star Trek game than a ME game.

I also enjoyed Andromeda, although I went in with zero expectations of it being anything but dogshit so I think that helped. The planet exploration and combat are actually quite good, if only there was more of the former. I also really enjoyed the final mission and how it tied in the various factions you encounter in the game, I also liked how all your Squadmates join you for the final fight, It's something I felt the the main trilogy should have done at somepoint, especially in 3.

That evil British lady in one of 2's DLC's....she scared me. You have to *rescue* her and then eventually she is revealed to be a psycho who blows up (?) Name is Amanda something

I think you're talking about Arrival, but you're talking about it like you were 6 when you saw half of it and ran out of the room screaming.

I knew it was basically ME3's 'prequel' in a sense but still. Being controlled by the reapers is terrifying, you have to admit.

Renegade shepard is literally just the meme of 'I saw him in the supermarket and he tried to leave without paying, when I said hello he kept saying "What, what, what, what!" Over my words, and then pretended he didn't hear the cashier when she asked him not to steal.'

He's just a cunt for the sake of being a cunt, with no real purpose other than to be a cunt. He'd punch a toddler for shits and giggles.

thing is that creating dickish actions is hard, there's a fuckton of possibilities to be a cunt that it's just really, really expensive to animate and voice act it so they just went with the asshole for it's own sake type of cunt.
