running out of ammo

thats why the revenant is so op in 2 though

I still don't get why they didn't leave the heat system alone. I would have much preferred dealing with that in 2 & 3 rather than running around for ammo pickups like every other generic shooter. They even had a reasonable explanation for how the guns in ME1 worked and why heat was the issue instead of ammo.

When did EA purchase Bioware?

Having ammo at least opened up the variety for weapons even if 90% of them were dogshit. As an Infiltrator you had no reason to use anything beyond an SMG with ultralight materials, Paladin or Carnifex Pistol, and either Valiant or Widow sniper. With heat it's a just a matter of pure DPS before overheating.

I figured they wanted fps bros to feel at home reloadinf

I like the reloading rather than overheating.

It adds another layer to the combat cycle, as well as creating an entire new weapon attribute. Not just in reloading itself, but rather reload speed, size of clip, and ammo conservation, in terms of being more economical with your shots.

Overheating can masquerade as a reload, but IMO it shouldnt be an entire mechanic. For example, make SOME weapons have a overheat feature instead of regular reload.

ME1 is literally my favorite game of all time. I want to play this but I cant spend 60+ $.

I know you can go the EA pro route or whatever for 15$ a month, I might have to do that.

Im so pumped playing ME1 again.

The enchanced graphics and better UI is clean. This should be fun, I dont know if I will go full do everything mode but its been so long I forgot a lot of the story and events outside of Virmire and Feros and the ending.

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition Fails to Give Context to its DLC

Anyone fallen foul of the issue described in the article?

Basically, with all of the DLC being available immediately, rather than released after people played through at least once, it's causing storyline issues and shutting folks out of base game missions.

lol they didn't lock Arrival to the post-game?

The other shit is kinda trivial, like if you start Lair of the Shadow Broker as soon as it's available you miss out on finding out bits of what Liara has been up to, and you similarly miss a quest or two from whats her name if you do Omega as soon as it's available. But Arrival is meant to be played immediately before ME3 and apparently you can access it like 1/3rd of the way through ME2.

For anyone re-playing the trilogy prior to the Legendary Edition..this would have been an issue, so this isn't new. There are plenty of guides out there that give suggestions on when to do which DLC during a playthrough.

Its 3 games for $60. I think your crazy for missing out on the remastered version of "your favorite game of all time"

I got it on EA Play Pro. I only want to replay ME1.

ME1 was just one of those games that was ahead of it's time. Remember being totally mindblown playing this back in the day.

The planets were one of the first things to draw me in to ME1. I mean, yah, I was invested in the story. But man, nothing beats standing on top of that alien pyramid, with nothing around.

Thats exactly what I did. Biomutant and ME for 15$, its a great deal.

What I notice as well is I actually feel like the stakes in the ME plot matter, and I can take the plot seriously, which makes reading codex entries and listening to banter engaging. When you care about a games storyline that game ends up being 2 times better than it would have been otherwise.

They crafted such an impressive universe and narrative. Human / Turian conflict is interesting, the rachni wars and subsequent krogan rebellion is awesome, the prospect of Dreadnaughts from each species being limited by diplomacy etc, its just all so well done. And I didnt even mention the Geth or the Reapers, which is even more engaging.

I know it's selfish in a way, but I wish there had been another game between Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 where you are just being a Spectre and dealing with stuff using the full crew before the events that open ME2 and send you spiraling.
