Your Brain on Hugs posted:I only played ME3 once, so I never played the extended ending or citadel DLC. What does the extended ending actually add? Wondering if I should play it as normal or go with that mod that simplifies the ending and then has the citadel dlc act as the epilogue. It no longer slam cuts from a tri-colored light show to Buzz Aldrin demanding that you unwashed gamer fucks better buy some goddamn DLC!

Instead of punching the reporter, Shepard puts them into a camel clutch until they tap out.

Rynoto posted:Casually pushing a lackey out the empty window of a skyscraper. He was Eclipse, don't they have to murder someone to make the cut? gently caress that guy. Speaking of which, taking the interrupt on that Asari in the Samara mission always felt hilariously over the top for the way it's 3 folks armed to the teeth calmly blasting the absolute crap of one woman with a dinky little pistol. Also, we do not stand of Vega dissing in this house. For a guy certain to be awful and unloved (a cocky meathead taking up limited space on a beloved crew in the final instalment) he somehow managed to be a delight. Plus I will never not love his thoughtful and considered approach to 'hacking'.

So it look like a couple of hours before it unlocks in Australia. It's a little hard and emotional for me. Last month mum passed away. And this is the first big entertainment product to release that I have been waiting for. I really love Mass Effect so this really is the first time outside of family time and rewatching Big Trouble in Little China that I'm doing something that will spark so much joy.

If you are getting the game on Xbox you can now promise you're on a New Zealand vacation in the settings and the game will unlock for you. Also apparently the embargo for reviews is now up - basically everyone only got it a couple of days ago so I don't think we'll see reviews anytime soon.

Is there any word if the Legendary Edition will have ability for simultaneous mouse+gamepad input on PC for each entry of the series? I would unironically play the series again with gyro aiming for the novelty of it. Someone else might prefer the analog movement but rather aim on mouse. I know you can set it up for Steam in the old series but that nets you all keyboard/mouse controls and WASD emulated on a stick/dpad is terrible. And I know there are mods for gamepad input for PC but they disable all keyboard/mouse input. In fact mouse/PC vs gamepad/console have different sets of balancing values where PC is given inherent -accuracy at least in Mass Effect 2.

Uhhh maybe don't try to load your old Mass Effect PC saves in the Legendary collectionArs Technica posted:After booting a ME3 save file and skipping to a major Reaper showdown in order to test its PC performance, I quit to the top-level launcher and clicked on ME2 with designs on reliving some of its tough-decision moments, perhaps in the Collector Base. Instead, MELE made the tough decision for me: No more trilogy. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/05/mass-effect-legendary-edition-tests-thoughts-and-a-10-am-edt-twitch-stream/ Rest of it sounds pretty aces, though.

Although an option you can't disable making a 2070 struggle isn't so good.

I always thought we should have gotten a choice to get the reporter in 3 instead of the IGN person, which could have been an interesting plot where you could be challenged on the choices you made and have a platform to sell them, and she could eventually change her mind maybe too? Alternatively let her interview the other crew mates.

The Steam version is also Origin, so it should be the same. It's showing a lot of people a May 15th unlock date though it seems.

Does this literally mean that the full origin library/storefront loads every time? My only experience with Origin on Steam is Apex Legends, where I just needed to log into Origin through the game to play. It really has no other visible Origin overlay presence other than that.

What do you mean? I don't think I've ever seen a remaster as extensive as the one for ME1. ME2 and 3 look like they got a fresh coat of paint and that's it but ME1 seems fairly substantial.

nine-gear crow posted:If you're at all interested on what a shitshow LE is going to be to mod/port mods to, Mgamerz, the dude who developed most of the currently-used ME modding tools, has been pulling the Legendary Edition files apart with help from the ME Modding Discord community and results have been predictably mixed. Time will tell if BioWare's promise to reach out to and teach key people how to mod Legendary Edition is anything but bullshit because Mgamerz would probably be the #1 person on that list to contact and he hasn't heard poo poo from anyone officially linked to BioWare yet. i'm not surprised at all. i thought i remember reading a while back this was supposed to be addressed but just typical of ea and  today. def. taking a wait and see approach before giving them any money.

If you bought this on Xbox and you are not in New Zealand you can just tell your Xbox that you are in New Zealand and you would like to play Mass Effect now and your Xbox will be like "okay, sure, sounds good, I guess you can play Mass Effect now." e: Xbox stays winning I guess e2: Excuse me Sovereign but I'm going to need to speak to your manager.
