So this is just some graphical touching up, no actual improvements to gameplay or anything? Ah well. Good for those who have wanted it!

May 14 is perfect for me, provided I can bulldoze through RE8 in the days prior.

@LeonhartFour
@Ngamer64

We better be shooting for a combined playthrough topic, or at least an immediate presence in the inevitable big B8 topic

They didn't include it in the PS3 port either, but I've been told I didn't miss anything!

And I'm definitely down for a joint replay just so @CaptainOfCrush and @Ngamer64 can finally play the Citadel DLC

IIRC Pinnacle Station had the most OP gear in ME1. Apart from that, it was just a series of forgettable training sims. As a completionist who will go for the Platinum here, I'm honestly glad they didn't include it.

The multiplayer, though. That one's a bummer.

Sounds like no cut content, which I assume means ME2 is still split up on when you can recruit, which is a bummer.

Yeah, you gain EMS playing ME1 and ME2 now. It's supposed to be pretty hard if you just play ME3 tho.

People were hoping for some reason they'd let you recruit squadmates in any order instead of having them split into two parts.

That was the original plan and they had the voice lines recorded, so I get why some expected/hoped for it to finally be implemented. But yeah, it's confirmed that none of the cut content across the trilogy will be restored.

Oh so they aren't tweaking the gameplay of ME2 at all? That's good, as I heard they were, but it's the one with the best gameplay. Any tweaking runs a massive risk of ruining it somehow.

Hot take but 2's was the most generic for me, really felt like that late 2000's-early 2010's time of third person shooters clogging up the market. 3 very much improved it for me.

2 felt more balanced, personally. Vanguard on Insanity was the most fun experience I've had within my time with the series.

The gameplay of 3 is still wonderful just doesn't hit quite the same for me

The list of improvements for ME1 sound really good, and honestly much more than I expected. That game takes at least full playthroughs to platinum... so this is good news.

  • Rebalanced XP for level 60 cap, which means you don't have to do NG+


I don't know about this, level 60 Insanity was a breeze on my consecutive playthroughs, if they've boosted XP gains you're gonna hit the cap well before you finish everything too.

ME2 Insanity with an Infiltrator Sniper was the most fun I had in the series gameplay-wise in the series =/

except that one encounter on the Collector Ship and I think I recall Mordin's recruitment having an annoying spot largely because of how early in the game such a moment is.

I think ME2 had the best balance of difficulty (Insanity really is the most fun in that game), but 3 added a bunch of little quality of life improvements to the combat that I just have to rate the gameplay as better there.

The enemies were better in 2 though. Still salty over ME3 having literally 3 enemy groups the entire game.

Oh Andromeda does have pretty good combat too, but being limited to 3 skills and not being able to control your squadmates' actions drops it quite a bit imo.

Can't wait for this to be a tire fire. I hope they don't break ME1 too much. I know I'm in the minority, but it was probably my favourite of the 3 games in pretty much every category.
