Moola posted:the combat in me1 is more interesting than in Inquisition It's plodding if you don't quite understand the ins and outs of it, and just boring when you do.

I'm trying to import old ME2 saves to a new installation of ME2 (copy and paste). Some of them work fine, some don't (game crashes). Anything obvious I could be overlooking?

Did Legion's Shepard-stalking aspect, that was in the early marketing materials, ever get clarified in some behind-the-scenes?

Did the console versions of ME2 have no indicators of cooldowns outside the ability wheel? Cause I don't see any when playing with the PC controller mod (it's awesome that someone managed to enable support).

Hannibal Smith posted:After you use a power a couple of half-circles appear around your cross hairs and start moving together. That's the cool down. When they meet, you can use another ability. Thanks a bunch totally missed it. Lt. Danger posted:Mass Effect 2 is very nearly the Platonic ideal of a video game. Doesn't have a (stat preserving) helmet toggle, though.

Poops Mcgoots posted:Could've sworn it did, under gameplay in options. Settings for on, off in conversations, and always off. I would've sworn the same yesterday, but  I think they removed it after ME1, and brought it back in ME3.

The Ebon Hawk was basically as big as a hub needs to be. The Normandy roll-call wasted too much time.

I haven't been following coverage too closely. Has there been more than a few seconds of combat footage?

Zzulu posted:They look weird because they're badly animated, which stands out further now that the faces are more realistic. I only saw bits of the new gameplay trailer but when the player character pulls the gun from the henchman it was just real bad. Completely dead eyes and stoic expression while the VA is all passionate and stuff. It's pretty clear dissonance

marshmallow creep posted:No classes, so everyone can be vanguard! What's to nerf when everyone has the power? I don't think that's how it'll work. You probably can't have all or even more than one or two of the (formerly) Class abilities at once.

Novaria was my favorite. But it's been ages since I played it, probably forgetting some stuff.

Alain Post posted:It's awesome that Mass Effect and Mass Effect 3 both have godawful first chapters, and Mass Effect 2's opening is loving incredible to make up for it What's so great about ME2's opening? The miraculous resurrection is basically ignored for the rest of the game.

Alain Post posted:It just kind of immediately gets the gently caress going while immediately setting up short-term and long-term conflicts for Shepard while more importantly keeping the pace up. ME2 may be the best paced game ever made. Pacing an open world game seems hard/impossible. Lt. Danger posted:It's a basic death-rebirth Campbellian trope so I'd've been surprised if Bioware didn't use it. Didn't have to pop up as a dull conversation. Could of been more in the vein of what Overlord touched on.

exquisite tea posted:CDPR is an exception because they own GOG, which helps to sustain their own development in a way that other small European studios cannot do without the backing of a big publisher. Blizzard, Valve, et al. all get to do what they want to do because they have their own lucrative distribution service. Pretty sure GOG is a rather small part of their revenue. Their general game distribution business is bigger (they were pioneers in Eastern Europe, very effective at competing w/ rampant software piracy by offering good value/quality localization), and at this point game development might eclipse even that.

exquisite tea posted:Of games I can think of made back in 2007/2008, you could do worse than Mass Effect. A lot of the issues people have with it stem from the PC port just being a horribly unoptimized piece of crap. When I do get to replaying ME1 (not for a while), I'm gonna try out the controller mod. http://me3explorer.freeforums.org/me1-controller-support-power-wheel-t2036.html

Doctor Spaceman posted:I don't remember the light side options being particularly stupid (but it's been a while). The dark side ones were cartoonishly evil, but that's fine for the setting. ME1 had some actually proper evil Shepard choices didn't it? Before they moved Renegade more into the direction of rule bending badass. Can't remember much besides turning Carth (little joke there) racist.

Android Blues posted:In ME1 Renegade is consistently space racist, like all the racist options are Renegade and the Renegade path with Kaidan is turning him into a racist. It seems baffling that they thought players would be compelled by a good/racist duality, but they learned the lesson in future games. Shithead Shepard should be a viable path!

Arcsquad12 posted:So, you want EA to buy out Obsidian. Thankfully, while Obsidian is still around, their talent is splitting off to make other studios, so even if Obsidian dies, its creative leads are still working. Who's splitting off? Last Obsidian news I heard was that most of their MMO division was shutting down (which made up a very big part of their workforce)

Mike the TV posted:I got the itch to play ME1, so I bought it on Steam after having it on xbox years ago. I can't seem to figure out how to get Bring Down the Sky though. Is it even possible? Googling it feels like an archaeological dig through dead links to bioware redemption pages. afair, it's much easier to do through Origin, and you can use your Steam CD key to redeem it on Origin. I did this some time ago.
