Rumours of Mass Effect Trilogy Trilogy Remaster: What would you like to see?

I gotta say, I keep looking at these three (!!!) Remaster speculation threads in here every couple of days because I want to see if someone on this forum might have picked up a new snippet of info that non-BW/ME-fanatics might have missed.

Instead I keep reading the same old Liara hate from all the same people that we have heard it from since 2012.

Where can I see it?

The series should have ended with Rupert Gardner treating the Normandy crew to his new recipe of Reaper gumbo, made with real Reaper meat.

Ha. If they include the space hamster dlc, you might buy more. If you're wondering what the space hamster dlc is about, here's a few details

Same boat. Is this what we're going to have to deal with until we actually get another good Mass Effect game? 

Then maybe Bio should not play favourites or just fix this problem.

Like hell I'm going to shell out £60 just to relive that same shit again.

Pretty sure regardless of who BioWare put into the role of exposition dump regurgitator they would have been accused of playing favorites.

The better solution would have been to not dump someone into that role.

With ME3 and all the returning squad members that might have died, I don't think there is a way around it in ME3 and that is where it was too much for one character for me.  My opinion is that its just another sacrifice made to have all prior squad members return and have to have an analogue if they died.

Come on guys, seriously? Are we now accusing the ME trilogy of not having enough consequences to choices? I don't know about you but I am not aware of any other game(s) that has as much variety in outcomes based on player choice as the ME trilogy did. Yea sure, it's not every single character but IMO that even makes it more realistic. I wouldn't expect myself to be the absolute nexus of everything around me, neither should Shepard be.

I really don't see basis to say that the ME trilogy of all games suffers from a lack of choice & consequence, that's just ridiculous (and I certainly wouldn't expect a remaster to change anything about that anyway).

I disagree. If the consequences to your choices are, at best, lackluster, inadequate at worst, people won't care how "impressive" your end result is. Evidently. Call it "fan entitlement", if you want, I call it "lack of fan support in future titles" as has been proven multiple times since. Nobody has faith in Bioware anymore.

Mostly, not entirely. Just like TLJ is a bad movie, but it only really shits the bed, once it kills Luke Skywalker. But even keeping Luke alive, would not have made it a good movie. It's still the worst movie in the franchise.


True. The possibility of a continuation or an open ending would alleviate a lot of the complaints. There's always next time and that would allow for a "next time", unlike the ending we got.


Not quite. I don't agree that it's dumb. I'd argue its masterfully executed, from exposition, to dialogue, to cinematography, the character vignettes, the missions, everything. ME2 makes sure that every concession you made going from ME1 to ME2 was worth the sacrifice. It is an absolute marvel. Individually. ME would be much smaller a franchise, had ME2 not existed, the way it did. ME3 is where it turns really dumb. Butchering characters, dumb dialogue, plot contrivances and character benchings. ME3 starts terribly (we fight or we die), plateaus with Mars, peaks at Tuchanka, dives off a cliff with Rannoch, no pun intended Talimancers, has some individual brights spots, are largely pertaining to ME2 crew members, but never recovers and on top of that, it then Amber Turds the endings. There is maybe 2 worthwhile concessions in the entire game and everything else is "why couldn't we get more of this" which is usually ME2 crew stuff, "instead of this" which is entirely lackluster Cerberus plots that contribute nothing to the story, but Bioware needed them to pad their game and distract from the fact that the Reapers are extras in their own game.

So no, I don't agree how you equate ME2 and ME3, in terms of content.
