Spawn_of_Apathy Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 12 minutes ago, Brick said: Vanguard is combat and biotics. You're thinking of Sentinel which is tech and biotics. For whenever I get around to this I'm going to do a FemShep run, and I'll do Infiltrator for the tech and combat skills. My male Shepard from my original playthrough was a Vanguard and that was fun. The hybrid classes are more fun than the solo specialization classes IMO. I think even Sentinel would be more fun this time around since the only thing holding it back before was that it could only use the pistol unless you had already done another character and unlocked the achievement with a different weapon type allowing other classes to use it in subsequent playthroughs. I could have sworn vanguard had either overload or incinerate, and then also had warp and lift. Maybe not. I know I played Vanguard in ME1 and didn’t like the change to the class in ME2/3.

Brick Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I would be wary of any reviews that are already up. Apparently EA didn't send out copies to the press until like Tuesday or Wednesday, so unless the reviewers pulled like three all-nighters in a row, or speed ran through each game, you're probably not going to get the most in-depth review going over all the changes, and if they're all worthy enough to buy this, I mean sure for anyone who's never played these games it's a no-brainer to get this, but for anyone who has played all three, and still owns them, the question of is it worth dropping $60 for an upgrade worth it is going to be a valid one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I'll get it eventually. I was kinda hoping to get it for one of the next gen consoles (I have neither). I have a beastly gaming PC, but don't want to deal with Origin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleG Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Rose colored glasses kicked in when I bought this. I remember the combat being better, it was fine at the time , now it feels super dated. Also played ME not to long with mods and this honestly looks worse. Steam purchase makes for an easy refund. Ah well guess ill grab RE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 man this game is awesome. bioware did a great job with ME1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I have such fond memories of all three ME games (like most, in particular the first two) - but I don’t know if they’re games I would want to go back to now. Obviously I’ll now end up buying them over the summer and love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. Yea, I only played the console versions years ago. I was literally reading reviews for it on the one x and it seems pretty solid. I'm going to play it.

skillzdadirecta Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I dunno... I always loved the game so if you loved the old one, you'll love this. If you didn't, you won't. Seems pretty simple to me. It definitely LOOKS much better and the long load times are a thing of the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Man I’m such a huge fan but I’m not sure if I’m ready to replay yet.

It’s the holy grail of video game rendering and it seemed so much further away back before the 2000 series and now it’s already bringing in some amazing results and we haven’t even come close to the potential (and to be fair are still a ways away from modern games with full path tracing). Also when we move to games that only work with ray tracing then maybe devs can use all the time saved faking shadows and shit and focus on unique asset creation instead! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 That's actually really cool to hear. When I first started reading this I expected to read that the dead name was still used as an oversight because BioWare didn't know, and "BioWare can you please update for my cousin", but BioWare had already done it without even being asked! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Aside from the story and the universe, what really makes this series special was the direction. I forgot just how cinematic this series was. Conversations aren't just conversations. Cutscenes aren't just cutscenes. There's actual cinematography in play. The framing and placement of everything in a scene is deliberate. Not to mention the sound design is still incredible. It really is like watching a sci-fi epic. I really don't think anything has been like it since.
