Why wouldn't people care just because the game is backwards compatible though?
Faster load times = better experience.
Sorry if I misunderstood you.

I was arguing that people shouldn't be fighting over performance differences between PS5/XSX because BC games work differently on both and aren't reflective of the relative strengths of each platform.

I would say that if one console loads games faster, that would be a strength. Whether or not the game in question is backwards compatible.

Except that MS invested a lot of time and money into BC and is one of the strengths of its platform.
As we can clearly see.

It was the best game trailer for me until Breath of the Wilds 2017 trailer. Mass Effect 2's trailer still gives me chills.

Those ARE the most important things lol.
The characters in ME1 were indeed less developed, because they were focused on being an introduction to their species, rather than individuals, so to speak.
Dialogue and banter improved as the series went on. ME3 is really the best at it, and ME1 the weakest.
Who actually plays Mass Effect for the gameplay? If that was a main selling point, Andromeda would be the best Mass Effect ever, but it wasn't. The gameplay must not be in the way.
Ultimately it depends what you're looking for in games I guess.

I like how they handled this as well, 2 disc and you can install from the disc or download the other 2. I like it!
For ME2 was the perfect jack-of-all-trades that excelled at enough disparate aspects that the sum of its parts places it above other games in the series that do things better.
But don't get me wrong, ME1 is still one of my favorite games of all time.

Does ME2 have autodialog based on moral alignment? Feels like my somewhat renegade Shepard is "trying to be a badass" even when I just hit the left-side investigate options.

Nope, unlimited stamina. And yes, it sucked in the first game.Does shepard have limited stamina while running in ME2 too?! i'm kinda hating this in the first game

Yeah, ok - it's completely fucked. In the future, can we post archive links for sites like this, as these links don't grant ad revenue for the click. Archive link here.

I'm absolutely hating the gameplay in the first one...the fov, the movements and especially the combat.
Hopefully the sequel are better.
Also can i change class in the sequel or i'm locked to the same class for 3 games?!

...you haven't played these before? I'm kinda jealous, you're in for a ride. To me, part 2 is pretty much a perfect video game, in a blockbuster movie kind of way - sure, there are some things that are not perfect, some of the dialogue/interactions are too Hollywood and as a shooter it's not the best out there by far. But it's hugely enjoyable at the same time. Yes, the end boss sucks but still a minor complaint.

I played half of the first one, and like 8-10 hours of the second one, i was too little and stupid to enjoy the story and close an eye about the gameplay most probably.
Can i change class in the sequels?

Just noticed a fov mod for PC was released which essentially saves this from being a nauseating mess. The camera is so close it might as well be up the characters ass, thankfully the PC modding community sorted that out real quick.

Sure, you can. And the classes (and relevant skills) are not really the same going from 1 onwards, so be sure to check out the stats before choosing what you go for.

Can i use the mod with origins instead of steam?
I'm not exactly an expert about using mods...

Oh i don't know:
Enemy barely reacting to being shoot
The ultra stiff run with 3 second of stamina?
One of the most imprecise cover system in a tps ever
The shitty fov
The character missing with powers half the time even if enemies are in front of you
The game sometimes doesn't register the inputs during combat and that traduce in you having to double-triple launch your abilities
The game in general being clunky and imprecise
It play like shit, you can enjoy it, doesn't mean that it is good, unless we are doing the usual gaf history revisionism where me1 was a great tps game to begin with...

As someone who complains about it. I never played the original so I can´t comment on that statement but my biggest problem with it was the unresponsiveness, the horrible cover mechanics, and the bullet sponginess of the enemies. I knew the game is old but I thought they would work on the controls and bring it to modern standards.
Maybe I was expecting too much and the made changes already are a major improvement over the original but for me, it was jarring how old the game felt. I´m now in the second game and this is like night and day. I actually like playing the game instead of just enjoying the story as I did in the first.

The stamina bar is a fucking joke. I thought I was making a mistake in the beginning. How on earth did they not fix this?!?

You guys seen this thread over on nutjob central? People genuinely complaining its wrong for a game to portray a main character who has unlimited power to do whatever they want. Its bordering on a sickness these people have at this point, mentally deficient imbeciles who want everything wrapped in bubble wrap.

I don't know 100% for certain but I can't imagine why not. It's a file tweak so nothing too intrusive. They show photos as well between default/80/90/or 100 in both combat and exploration so you can see which one you'd like to download.

I wasn't going to, but I couldn't help it and purchased.
I'm taking it very slow, trying to soak it all in again. Reading lore entries and generally just trying to treat this like this is the first time I'm playing.

I started this. Man, even with the revisions it feels old. You don't realize how far character animations have come until you go back to something like this.
Character movements and eyes look more like the animatronics characters at an old Chuck E Cheese's or Show Biz Pizza than actual people.

In it, he goes on about this woman he is seeing, who is always flirting with other men, trying to make him jealous, flaunting it.
It becomes semi-abstract as Charles describes the relief he feels as the woman, one day, mysteriously "vanishes into her sexual organs". He describes her disappearance from his life as "like an alarm clock falling into the grand canyon."
I'd like us to look at ResetEra that way.

What? There was barely any real banter in Mass Effect 2, the characters existed basicly only for Shepardt. The first game at least had briefings after every main mission.

This is one of those games I can not stop playing once I've begun....but now it's been a couple days and I can't bring myself to boot it up. Playing games, especially big ones, is almost like transitioning from hot to cold water for me.

I could not tell a difference, at least in camera angle. It seems to be the same side by side besides the higher resolution of the Legendary Edition.
