Mass Effect Legendary Edition (General Discussion)

Oh btw, totally nailed the fight between Jack and Miranda this time, all I really needed were the points from the first game it seems. There's been so many instances where I could use the special dialogue options that were barred for me the first time, feels great finally playing ME2 like I always was supposed to!

Replaying these back to back has been pure nostalgic joy. ME3's gameplay is much better than I originally gave it credit for. I'd only played it once but it's clear to me now that they refined everything. Cover system still ain't great and I'll never get why the same key has to be used for three different functions, but some mods addressing that are already out.

I had to go into my TV settings and mess with the screen size but I was able to fix this.

Eh, I think it’s overhyped myself even back then, but maybe it’s because my first time through I had everyone survive so it lacked that danger feeling. Plus other games that did it better.
Personally I think MEA has the best final mission, being what ME3’s should have been (no doubt because they took that feedback). Having even minor side characters from small side quests show up to help in that final battle made it feel like everything you did mattered.

I think ME 2s is the best in gaming honestly. There is nothing that recontextualizes everything in any game before the mission and changed how I personally enjoyed the game. I do remember on my first PT thinking that ME 2 was pretty fun but not overly great for a piece of entertainment but the Suicide Mission changed how I viewed the game in its entirety, making it one of my favorites, and encouraging me to do a second PT (along with getting the Cerberus bonuses figured out for ME 2.) One of those 'probably wouldn't have be here without it' sort of things. And just how the stakes right before hand with the Collectors stealing your crew to everything contributing to it before the game.

Which were things that Andromeda also did in its ending, which is why its the second best in the series, but just didn't quite have that hmph.

Yeah I definitely feel like ME2's suicied mission to feel like a real marathon of a quest. I haven't played it on th eremaster yet  bu tyeah it's probably my favouriet fimnishin level in the ME games. Andromeda's is good too but not quite at ME2's levels. MEA's fina lmission is definitely better cinematically than ME2's (but that's moer down to the Frostbite engine I think) but in terms of story and drama and the gamepla yelements for me the suicide mission beats it hands down

TBH, it's the music for the suicide mission that does it for me.

Plus they do a good job of building up the suspense.

I think it was composer himself (Jack Wall) who said its probably the best piece of music he's ever done and felt he couldnt do better for the series.

You might want to delay that playthrough. Here's why.

Ignored.

Last playthrough I forgot that Mordin is a really weak link in the Hold the Line mission.
