ME1 is the one game I'd like to see remade. It's such a fun over the top epic space opera thing but the gameplay is so poo poo it doesn't hold up.

ME1 has mediocre shooting stuff, and mediocre psychic stuff...until you level it up. Then it's ridiculously fun to throw everything around.

ME2 has boring psychic stuff and bog-standard cover shooter stuff, which doesn't interest me, so I don't care for it.

Plotwise, ME1 is Star Trek-y and optimistic and fun, whereas ME2 is darker and less bright and honestly? Not as fun for me. I like the bright shiny future in ME1 over ME2's cynical universe.

As I understand it, if you look at most custom hair mods today, you're actually looking at the same hair mods originally made for Sims 2. hosed up if true.

The aliens in Mass Effect look cool, the humans are a joke.

Didn't even get a krogan party member in Mass Effect 3.

I wish Horizon: Zero Dawn had gone for an at least vaguely interesting gameplay premise instead of being "Far Cry, but with robots." I mean, poo poo, there are even towers you climb to put icons on your map. That's something even UbiSoft knows people are getting tired of.

Eh, I think that feels a little reductive. The two aren't really the same beyond climbing a thing.

The bright shiny future of constant hatred, frequent sexual abuse and a horrifying omnipresent threat that corrupts people waiting just outside the universe?

It's genuinely brighter and more optimistic than life today here on Earth. :shobon:

(okay also the architect is cool. I like a clean white/blue future as opposed to the gray and orange of ME2)

Fidelity may have improved but I'd still take anyone in OG Mass Effect over Female Richard Spencer and Non-Threatening Black Guy in Andromeda.

If you had told me that was a test render from some upstart indie pushing a weird low-budget game through Steam Greenlight, I would believe you

Those basically are test renders since they're meant for cosplayers who want reference images for costuming. ME:A's character models have wierd issues, but judging them based on those pictures feels unfair.

My favorite piece of armchair art director speculation is that the faces look so wonky because the reference photos were done with the wrong camera lens.
