For me I gues it has something t odo wit hmy diasbilit yas I'm quite the opposite and I guess I l8ike playing something that's alpowerful like a DA mage o ra biotic Shep or something. Obviously Bioware games give me that and Bioware's gamesw aern tthat difficult either which is perfec tfor me. For me I think tha tBioware's game's aren't hard is why I get so much replayability from them. True enough. Also, all my mages and biotic Shepard's were female. To this day I have never figured out why I did that. The majority of min eaer too tbh. Even m ycurrent DAI character is as I'm playing as a femal eelven mage atm. Was thinking of making m ynex tBiotic Shep female as well mostl ybecause my las tShep was male. Though I thin kmy last Shep was a soldier not a biotic. My last Ryder was an allrounder though I'm considering going with Engineer this time and going with a mostly tech related build. But that's when I next play Andromeda though. Though in my case I think it has moer to do wit hthe VA's as I definitel yfeel at least in MEA and DAI's case the female VA's sound bette rthan the male ones. With th eME trilogy DAO an dDA2 I think they'er more equal bu twith regards th emor reecent Bioware games I defginitel yfeel the female VA's like Alix and Frydda did a better job than their male counterparts.

Well, we are the target audience. And if, by your own admissions, "a lot of people" of that target audience don't care for it, what are the chances that the rest of the gaming community, who are mostly aware of ME through Andromeda and are a week away from the next gen consoles and the titles that come along with it, will buy on release the "texture and lighting pack", of a game 2 console gens removed? Not that many. And even then, out of the people that love ME, some won't even show up on release. Some may buy it, 3 months down the line, when it's down to $20 on retail. Or less. Anthem was as low as $3.99 at that time. It's not going to be a hit, like the Skyrim Legendary ... Edition ... fuck. Is this why it's called Mass Effect Legendary Edition? Oh my God, I just realized it. Because Skyrim did it and it sold? Bioware, what the fuck? ... Moving on. It's not going to hit Skyrim LE and The Last Of Us Remastered numbers. It's too late. The games aren't fresh and the community still playing them, isn't as big as it used to be. It's going to sell more like Silent Hill 2 Remaster, Batman: Arkham City Remastered, Sleeping Dogs and, heaven forbid, Warcraft 3: Reforged. Not that good. I do agree, they might be looking at expanding to a new audience, but that doesn't mean they can ignore the existing audience at the same time. They have to make the pitch that will entice the people that have bought the game in the past into wanting it. One of the reasons for that is to demonstrate that the old version that you can get off EA Desktop or Game Pass isn't the same experience since BioWare games are built more around the story of the game and not the technical milestones it has. That's something Bioware/EA has spent the last decade not learning

I don't see anyone claiming remasters don't have an audience, but what I have seen is the claim of I don't see how Mass Effect remasters has an audience over playing the original games. There are generally different reasons for a remaster the first is that its next to impossible to obtain such as a PS1 game or even a PC game that came out 20 years ago and you cannot find copies now. Another is that they are trying to judge interest in a dead franchise which Darksiders fell into due to THQ going bankrupt. The other reason that I can think of is that the rights changed so they are releasing a new version under their banner. Rarely do you see a remaster being release just "for the fans", since especially with how people react to issues in a BioWare game. My opinion is Mass Effect doesn't really have those issues except if you want to play it on PlayStation since the only place for them is on the PS3 where you can still buy or subscribe for access to Mass Effect on the PC or Xbox. Which is why I have also said I could see that being a reason for the remasters.You need more then just a few takers especially with the hate campaign I would bet it would see because they didn't change what people proclaim to be the most important thing that must have changed to make the game worth while. Or people that are still upset that they didn't get a private moon where they could imagine having sex with the LI over and over again until they fracture the moon in half. I'm not sure that matters. A big reason for remasters is the convenience of having all the games + the DLC in one package. In my own experience I had always been tempted to play the Bioshock series, but would have probably never got round to it had the remaster collection not been released. Sure I could have bought each Bioshock game one by one but I'm a lazy, lazy man. Secondly, there's the factor that the next gen consoles essentially have no games coming out for them. The Mass Effect trilogy will likely release in this gap in the market and take advantage of some very bored gamers. Finally, on the controversy - eh I don't it will be that bad. The biggest controversy Bioware have to avoid is not making the remaster weird and fucked up like the Arkham collection was. I think this is especially more meaningful now that we’re seeing delays across the board for some major releases. The joke about Cyberpunk releasing in actual 2077 is starting to look like a reality, and Halo Infinite’s release timetable is starting to look...... There’s really not a whole lot coming this year that looks even remotely interesting, or at least substantial enough that it would occupy players’ time for very long. As a fellow lazy person, something like this would be right up my alley. Even with all the flaws, the games still retain so much replayability for me, and in what’s looking to be a dry spell, being able to just get a nicely spit-polished version of my favorite games on something that isn’t a dying PS3 without having to buy a whole new rig doesn’t seem so bad. Not like I have anything else to spend money on right now.

Assuming that women are less suited for spending days carrying 35 kg of equipment than men, their absence as warriors/grunts is less of a loss so they're delegated to less strength-demanding positions even if they don't outperform men there.

Don' ttell Aveline or Cassandra that.

Fix some bugs. Replace the original heat sink and thermal clips with a system similar to how Star Wars Battlefront 2 handles it. Give us those graphical updates and 60fps and I will be happy.

On launch. I don't see it selling millions. Because the XBOX and PC userbase already own the games and can play them on their console of choice, even through Game Pass, if they don't directly own the games. Does this game pass thing include dlc with the games? Who is waiting for the dlc to go on sale? Just because the player chose not to buy dlc for the games doesn't mean they're not interested in ME. For one you asked in a section that has nothing to do with DA. I would have ignored your question. Even if he knew the answer, why would/should he answer your question? Why does that bother you if he didn't say that? He doesn't owe you an explanation. More telling? So you're going to run wild with some conspiracy theory because a Bioware employee didn't answer your question?

Just because the player chose not to buy dlc for the games doesn't mean they're not interested in ME. I am interested in ME and I still choose not to buy the DLC, or the remaster. For one you asked in a section that has nothing to do with DA. I would have ignored your question. Even if he knew the answer, why would/should he answer your question? Because he asked me to forward any and all concerns, which I did and that was part of the conversation. Why does that bother you if he didn't say that? He doesn't owe you an explanation. But he did try to answer my question ... by trying to evade answering the question. More telling? So you're going to run wild with some conspiracy theory because a Bioware employee didn't answer your question? No. Because of trying to evade it. Listen, even a "fuck off" would have been answer enough. Like, I'd get the message. But why not just say "you know, we're never touching these characters again", which is the, so far, company line? It's not a state secret. Or he could just say, if he wanted to be more diplomatic "I have no reason to believe otherwise, but you never know". I don't get the subterfuge. |
