The Mass Effect Game Series- Official thread

The trilogy is better story and character wise

Andromeda's combat shyts all over the trilogy

Gonna highly disagree with Andromeda having better combat than 3.

Andromeda having better combat than 2 is more debatable but it depends on how you played ME2. If you played on normal difficulty and didn't use or like the squad elements, sure, Andromeda is better. I think ME2 is more in depth when it comes to that and is harder to master.

MEA > ME1 combat (Sniping? Using a pistol for DPS over an AR? Guns had no feel or personality whatsoever.)
MEA > ME2 combat (Those set pieces were as far as shooters go. ME2 still better than ME1.)

MEA < ME3 (Combos + ammo powers >>>>>>. MEA having jetpacks made it more multidimensional but that's about it.)

I'd be willing to bet within a 2 year timeframe these will be part of EA Play. Even if you haven't played them the games are old enough that it's worth just waiting for either that or a $29.99 sale.

I believe it already is which also makes it available on game pass...I’ll probably go this route after I beat cyberpunk...I’m not stressing the extra DLC cuz it’s already 3 games so that’s a lot of shyt to play as it is and the remaster is being designed for the PS4/XB1...playing the OG games will immediately get a graphics/performance boost on the XSX...so idk if I feel like waiting on the remaster all the way in may

- Brb not all DLC present
- Brb missing space PAWG butt shots
- Brb no multiplayer



Imma most likely wait for 4 to drop and go from there. (I won't preorder it in case it turns out to be Anthem or Andromeda-level.)

Once this reaches $10 I'll prolly scoop just to have it.

the only DLC missing is pinnacle station

bruh i promise you not missing anything special it'd be one thing if they were holding it back to re-release DLC, but its source missing. that shyt deads entire remakes of games dating back to ps1 days

I NEVER mentioned ME1 that combat was ass.

Like I said ME2 vs MEA is a legit debate. People who actually played on higher difficulties had to play it like a real squad game and if you like squad combat, ME2 is better. If you didnt care about the squad shyt then MEA is better. There was a lot squad power combos and positioning that was necessary on higher difficulties on ME2. ME2 is hardest game in the series on the highest difficulty because of that.

ME3 is flat out the best combat system in the series and one of the best combat engines I've seen in a 3rd person shooter. The only problem is that you sometimes feel a little TOO powerful. Online had a good balance of making you feel strong but making you play smart, the AI was relentless.

I'd say its ME3 > MEA = ME2 (personal preference depending on the player) > ME1 in terms of combat.

Nah, I wasn't saying you said ME1 combat was ass, but it is by far the worst of the series.

As far as 2 goes, I felt there was even less squad synergy since they implemented universal cooldowns but the pacing was so slow it didn't seem to matter to me.

ME2 was by far the easiest in terms of combat to me, but maybe that's because we play different classes? My main class was nerfed to hell and back in ME3, so I actually felt underpowered for the entirety of the game. shyt took forever to die in ME1 and not using BEs in ME3 made me feel kinda gimped.

I have PS and that's not my issue. Maybe I'm asking too much to want a remaster to have all the content from all the games?

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

I did like the combat. but the rest of the game was trash.

Combat is good the rest is dog shyt. The thing that makes the combat a lot more fun is the added mobility of the jet pack, that was a really good idea, and not only for combat for exploration. I loved the idea of the combo system with combat, i was pulling off some really cool shyt throwing enemies 100 ft into the air and making them explode. I just think that could have been pulled off with team abilities rather than ahve your companions because their own AI controlled people that simply just exist as back up. It takes the strategy and rpg mechanics out of the game.

The graphics were pretty bad on release to but i think most of those weird uncanny valley bugs have been patched.

All content like what? Pinnacle is the least played and least relevant out of all the DLC.

ME:A multiplayer is still up and a better version of ME3's anyways. You know what Pinnacle Station is right? Its fukking time attack and survival mode in a reused asset bunker there's nothing even unique tied to it like extra dialogue, characters, etc. And its been corrupted and unavailable since the ME Trilogy released on PS3. No one missed it then. No one is gonna miss it out now. Unless they want daps

Its not some new cut addition man.

Not sure why you even bother to respond to me with this. I've been playing ME for the last 13 years, before it was even on PS3, I know exactly what Pinnacle Station is.

A lot of the DLC is derivative or straight boring to me: Arrival, Stolen Memory, Overlord, LotSB, From Ashes, Omega, etc. Doesn't mean I wouldn't want any one of them included in a remaster.

If you're happy this is on the way out, cool, I want y'all to eat. Just understand why some folks might not be as excited as you are.

....lol

the same people jumping up and down crying about pinnacle station of all things are the same people who want a story mode in fortnite. there's valid complaints and there's noise from smoothbrain retards who roll out of bed ready to hate on anything despite not knowing what they're even talking about in the first place

got nothing to do with 'being excited'

Unless you work for BioWare I'm not sure why you'd be so aggy, but do you dude.

I wasn't actually wrong about anything but okay random internet dude.

But nobody here was trying to force this game on anybody.

I just think Pinnacle Station is not and shouldn't be relevant in a first time player's decision to buy ME:LE. It's a weird ass nitpick.
