OK, maybe it wasn't a biotic wind, maybe it was an annihilation field. *ducks* |

Don't expect a visual overhaul on the level of Halo 2 Anniversary or something, but there's definitely a good amount of work that's gone in, not just visually but systems wise too.

It's still working after all. But yea, they wouldn't need to tweak anything, since with all DLC you can easily get enough ems for best ending, even with only 50% readiness.

If a player decides to play a default ME3 playthrough without playing any dlc, the player would still not have enough to get the breath scene since the most ems is about 2970. The only way that could happen is if the player doesn't let TIM shoot Anderson since doing that add's 200 war assets. If the player chooses to let TIM shoot Anderson, the breath scene will not happen. Of course how many would do that? I'm sure there are some who would.

I'm sure there are some who would. That's true. Then again, I would make the argument that to get the absolute best ending, you should have to import a custom save from ME2 with better decisions. Especially now that all three games would be bundled up in one package.

I can live with ME1 visuals and story it is everything else that stops me replaying more often. That's not a criticism I love the game I just don't enjoy replaying it because of most of the game mechanics.

I'm sure others have shared this sentiment, but I'll put it here anyway.
If they can make ME1 and ME2 play like ME3, then I'll be happy.
Remove the mineral/dogtag/asari writings collecting from 1, and tie them to the side quests and main quests; where if you decide to engage in them, you'll get them all, and whatever rewards they bring to 2 and 3.
Basically, if they refine ME1 to be like at least ME2 system-wise, then I'll buy it.
I would prefer the gameplay of ME3 across the board, but I'm not greedy.
Following that, I want at least ME3 to have enough ability points at the level cap to max out all your powers.
Having to forever see ***3 Points Available*** really irks me.
If it's mostly graphical updates, then I'll pass. I'll put it on the wishlist, but it won't be a MUST BUY.
I would certainly LOVE to see the Indoctrination Theory incorporated, because it just fits so well and would immortalize BioWare as paragons of storytelling, but that 'fad' is almost a decade old now, and I'm not naive enough to think that it's going to happen.
But I hold on to hope anyway.

Am I really the only one who likes stumbling across those planets no human has set foot on, only to suddenly find debris of the turian unification war wreckages Pressley scanned near a neighbour planet?
Or finding a shack, abandoned for centuries, on a remote planet where who knows who hid from who knows what for some time, reading some of the matriarchs writings in the meantime?
I mean the execution could obviously been better (as always), but i really like the concept. And it is not as if those minerals, insignias, writings, whatever collectibles affect anything one way or another. You get two lines of extra dialogue from Conrad Verner in me3, and something like +7 war assets, and that's it.

Doing that still gets me the breath scene. It's not a matter of what someone believes are better decisions, it's what the player chooses to do during their playthrough. I could have everyone alive from ME2 imported into ME3, and still get a low ems ending.

Exploring the planets is great and some of them due to the lighting and music are quite ethereal and really do give you a distinct feeling of being how I imagine it would feel being in space on a remote planet. Could do with some less stress from the Mako and Thresher Maws.

Liana Ruppert @dirtyeffinhippyYou're going to want to keep it tuned into Game Informer on Tuesday. We've got some exclusive content to reveal and an entire month of additional celebratory content that I think you'll LOVE. You're not going to want to miss it. - I'd say the odds are... pretty good this will be about ME:LE.  EA's quarterly report is also out on Tuesday, so I figured it'd be either Mon or Tues when we heard more.

That's true. Then again, I would make the argument that to get the absolute best ending, you should have to import a custom save from ME2 with better decisions. Especially now that all three games would be bundled up in one package. What better decisions? I can import a save with all crew dead, and only 2 squadmates alive into ME3. Doing that still gets me the breath scene. It's not a matter of what someone believes are better decisions, it's what the player chooses to do during their playthrough. I could have everyone alive from ME2 imported into ME3, and still get a low ems ending. I agree that it's good BioWare programmed EMS flexibility so that any given ending could be achieved with any world state. That is the logical choice given that not everyone who played ME3 has necessarily played ME1 or ME2. It also helps from a role-playing point of view, to give more flexibility for trilogy playthroughs. I just find that, if someone can achieve any ending in ME3 regardless of the decisions in ME2 and ME1, then the consequences of decisions in ME1 and ME2 lose a lot of impact. Obviously the stories and reactivity you get from ME1 and ME2 are worthwhile, but just from a game mechanics and story point of view, let's think about it. Should a Shepard who did no side-quests and made poor (lower EMS) decisions in ME1 and ME2 (kill entire crew, destroy Genophage research, kill Rachni queen, etc.) deserve to achieve the best ending in ME3? I would say no. To achieve the best ending for an RPG should at least a little long-term planning and effort to achieve, over the entire trilogy ideally. Obviously, for ME3 when it was released, this was not possible since not everyone played ME1 and ME2. But now for the Legendary Edition, with all three games bundled in one nice package, there is an opportunity to make the best ending feel like a more worthy achievement. I heard that BioWare is also revamping systems for the Legendary Edition, so it's possible. I for one would be happy to have a more difficult mode for gameplay and higher EMS requirements for the endings, but that's just me.
