For the Holiday Season
I'm 35 and only just played ME1 in 2019, ME2 a month ago. still have ME3, the Remaster and Andromeda. it's like going back in time even though I only heard constant praise for the series. a strange feel.
Synthesis is best.
>>5155510It's strange to think ME1 started production 21 years ago. It feels like forever and 20 minutes ago simultaneously
That's it for now.
>>5155548>>5155549>>5155551>>5155552good emphasis on duality in the marketing

>>5155477>Galaxy Class Normandy in the backdrop>Cerberus SR2 in the foreground???
>>5155910>>5155911>>5155912>>5155913It's a shame how the Mead influences got dumped so hard after ME1 for Generic Military SciFi No.1138 (along with other stuff like ammoless weaponry, planet exploration, etc).
>>5155510The Remaster is not another game, it's the same with a couple new textures and such.Andromeda is awful, don't bother.
>>5156217>>5156298The bones are the same but they failed to do upkeeping like preserving the dynamic lighting and defaulted to using AI enhanced ME3 textures for all characters and items. Also some things that needed to be updated. For example, the trilogy tied it's clock to a 30 fps framerate. They did not fix this for le and as such the combat ai for 1 and 2 is busted, botched physics which used to be state of the art, that kind of thing. It all had to be fixed by mods. Things like the strangely altered animations and fixed camera still haven't been fixed by modders.More concerning, LE players do not have access to Pinnacle Station, the ME2 Cerberus Network daily lore log, or MEN'S multiplayer platform, which on release in 2012 was a mandatory mechanic required to access the game's best ending, high ems destroy.
>>5156217Derek Watts was the art director for the trilogy (and the new ME) and he never lost sight of the Syd Mead style. Please feel free to post Syd Mead art as well, Mass Effect is a spiritual tribute to that vision of the future.

>>5160969Pre-release Mass Effect has an unappreciated aura to it. Would make a banger video essay.
>>5163077glad someone appreciates the original Project SFX ideas like me

Now the dust has settled, how shit was ME: Andromeda actually? It's 90% off right now.
