Ahh that was how it worked, cool! Always appreciate games trying new things and testing out different ideas, shame it essentially killed off the series.

Though I'll never forgive them for removing the fishing mini-game; every game should have a fishing mini-game :colbert:

No game should have one

It absolutely was a tacked on afterthought but it was pretty much the most fun example of what it was at the time.

I don't think there's be much point in remastering it today unless they seriously updated it, since I don't think it does anything that hasn't been iterated on and mastered by a million other games in the last decade.


(And ME3 had plenty of good stuff, shut up).

They also supported it with free dlc and patches for years, it was great. Andromeda has a similar but worse system and Inquisition's was just trash

Anthem kinda sorta played like it but, you know, lol

Weren't the characters locked behind lootboxes I remember never being able to get the one asari I wanted

Different weapons and characters were different rarities and different lootboxes would guarantee certain rarities (and also later on, guarantee rare weapons OR rare characters, if you're gunning for the god damned piece of poo poo cerberus harrier I never got the entire loving time argh), and winning a game on hard or hardest would guarantee you, more or less, the bioware bux to buy one of the highest tier box. Repeats increased the power of the weapon or unlocked cosmetics for the model and boosted their minimum level, if you had never played their class. You also got one time (and later permanent) gear modifiers.

So you could spend twenty dollars on a 5 pack or whatever it was and hope for the best, or you could just win a few times, or if it was too much, lose a couple times, since cash was paid about based on the wave you hit, and you basically had to put the controller down to lose by wave 3.

Different characters skewed towards the ridiculous by the end as they kept going and just kept loving around, but except for a few, the game was pretty well balanced (and broken in the player's favor) so you could win easily with the starting classes you had or anything else, too, and some classes were just "the starting class, but instead of X power it's Y". Different powers and techs could combo into enemy-staggering explosions which was at high difficulties the thing that mattered more than anything that wasn't one-shotting guys or not getting sync killed by boss enemies. It was pretty friendly all around.

A lot of the cinematic camera work for dialog, and cutscenes in the Mass Effect games were bad, like failed cinematography 101 levels of bad. So if Bioware is going back and redoing a lot of it, that is a good thing.

On replay, 2 has a lot of really good and well done shots and lighting, moreso than the other games in the series, and a lot of Miranda's rear end.

It sucks that you get Legion so late that taking him on any more than the minimum mandatory missions locks you into a suboptimal ending (and also sucks that your freedom to use Legion appears to have been curtailed at some point during development)

IIRC that was because they couldn't fit it all one disc (ME2 was on 2 on 360) so it would have been intensely annoying swapping back and forth so often.

All the dialogue's still there so theoretically its something they could resolve in the remaster
