Yeech, Been over this game years ago. Unless they have new material it would be pointless to fork money over again.
I don't know, this reminds me a lot of the Halo remaster, which is not a compliment.
it appears to be a rather minor skin retouching and some changes to the lighting over top of the same low-poly meshes and animations.
Yeah I get your points...
But it will include every single DLC (Which I never got to play back in the day) and fixed a lot of the gameplay issues in ME1, shooting is alot tighter apparently especially the driving sections have been completely retuned.
I dunno, it'd have been nicer to have a complete overhaul but I'm relatively happy to go through one of the greatest series of all time in higher fidelity and all the DLC.
In fact I've been looking at hopefully next year when PC Component prices have calmed down, building a little custom retro console, love the ITX form factor for it, some great tools out there like retroarch to run some old games in 4K...
Really looks superb:

lolwhut?
Mass Effect was alright, but one of the greatest of all time? I dont think so.
Did you happen to catch the Linus Tech Tips the other day featuring the new Corsair One-like case?
It's expensive at $330 for the case, but man do I want to build an ITX PC now....
I disagree. ME2 was great in some aspects, but I'd hardly call it even an RPG. The plot was mostly very linear and the once myriad customizable options in ME1 was gone.Mass Effect 2 is a gold standard in Western RPGs man, I dunno, my opinion, the other two are good but taken as a complete package, I think it’s a pretty damned amazing series given the massive, detailed universe and characters it introduced.
I won’t be building anything I think until
Next year at least…
The PC component market is an absolute joke at the moment, if it ever decides to un**** itself I can finally get to building as I’d be on a tight budget for it.
Yeah, I know, but that doesn't really change the desire to build one.
I'm a sucker for great engineering, and most micro cases aren't well engineered. The one in that video, however, is exceptionally well designed.

Sure, you had different classes, but the way to progress was pretty much just shoot to kill or use your powers to kill and then move on to the next level. Even your supposedly free choices were severely limited, and hardly made a difference in the end- a lot of fans complained about this in ME3.
The storyline left something to be desired too, ME2 had you recruit this great team, only to use them for one mission which took place after 95% of the game was completed, and then it ended.
While the eye candy was great, and also the world building, the actual RPG aspects and the story itself left much to be desired. I stopped playing after one playthrough, and I aint planning to play it again.
PC and game consoles are converging. The only real difference between the current XBox and a mid-range PC is the operating system... and even that difference is minimal. XBox OS is actually just a stripped down Windows 10.Definitely…
But ITX is becoming more and more popular a form factor so hopefully we’ll see better cases as the years go by.
I've never had a problem with Origin, beyond the fact that it's updates take far too long. If you truly enjoy a well-produced RPG, with well-developed characters, terrific dialog and excellent story lines, Mass Effect is one of the highest-quality, most immersive RPG series I've ever played. But yes, I realize my gaming experience is limited in scope, lol.SO I picked this up, and the first thing I discover is you not only have to install the Origin client, it has to run in the background while you play. I have not even played a single minute and I am irritated...
