    • @shingshongshamalama
      @shingshongshamalama 6 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      Actually, Mass Effect 1 notoriously has a problem where the game will force use of the lowest resolution textures on various, seemingly random objects, no matter what you set them to. Garrus is one of them.
      Also the game handles loading its textures really poorly so you get texture and LOD pop-in during cutscenes REALLY often.
      This is a terrible port.

    On Mass Effect Legendary, they made the rock at 1:09:20 a lot harder to get through but if your adament, you can get through.. unfortunately, they also made it so when you take the mako to the grand fight at 1:10:40, they Ai is not affected by it. I was a bit bummed but i was entertained by how they basically just laughed at the player by being like "haha even if you get the mako through there, its not gonna be handed ona silver platter anymore!" Still, the fight is a lot faster with the mako.. Which measnthe faster run will always be on the original

      @Prince_of_Dor-lomin 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I love Mass Effect 3, I just really don't like the ending, it's good but the Starchild felt like a kick in the balls. Either Saren is right or the Illusive Man is right. Both of which we spent an entire game fighting against. or you can pick the (in my opinion) best options, Destroy or Refuse. Sadly, refuse is an even bigger kick in the balls, especially when you've gone all the way to get 100% readiness. Nope fuck you, Reapers win anyway. Destroy is not as big a kick in the balls considering you can actually kill the Reapers, but I would've preferred if we could still kill the Reapers if we refused the Starchild's choices.
      I also would've really liked it if they instead of that implemented the Indoctrination Theory, because that is thought out pretty well.
      But nonetheless, I still think this trilogy is the LOTR trilogy of games. And all 3 games are a billion times better than the crap Andromeda was. And the worst part is is that they just completely abandoned it.
