We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Hmm, I'm pretty sure trailers and media coverage prior to original launch covered that.
In any case, it'd be hard to write up an ME2/ME3 summary without mentioning the Reapers lol.
Fair, but I don't think many people that haven't played the games and are going to do it now remember the 2007 trailers lol
They have named them during most of their blog posts for this version as well yeah, but I mean, it's still formed as one of the twists of the original game.
It's far better than the original, shitstorm-causing ending. Still isn't what it could've been but it's not quite so godawful anymore.

Most likely localization (English, French, Italian, German, Polish, Spanish).
Man, stuff like this NEEDS to be optional. It's wasting so many peoples hard drive space having to download pointless stuff.
Italian, French, German
The Extended ending is quite better. If it's good or not depends on what part people didn't like of it, but it's definitely better overall.
Yeah one of the first gameplay demos for the game had a character explicitly detail that point.
I'm thinking about playing this mostly through in-home streaming. For those familiar with the games, how much will lag really impact the gameplay?
Barely anything.
It's not meant for super snappy gameplay, unless you plan to play on higher difficulties.
Is there any point in my putting hope in there being a Switch port by the end of the year or should I just cop the PS4/PS5 version?
Same here, even if the games were good in their days, having replayed them a year ago, some stuff needed some adjustements and i hope this release is solid and updated. We saw some stuff around Mass Effect 1 and i'm eager to play it again but 2 and 3 also need some changes.
I'm on the fence as well, I fear these could have aged really bad, and considering I had a hard time enjoying Monster Hunter Rise on a visual level, I wonder if ME would impact me in a similar manner.
I'll wait until people start streaming so I can judge if I want to jump in right now or wait for sales.
Coming in as someone who only played through the first game, had someone die, and didn't want to continue past that and didn't want to restart, what is the best way to go though the game ENSURING that nobody dies, without spoilers?
Stick to one of the alignments. Paragon or Renegade.
You can't be grey if you want people to live
Edit If its
Kaiden or Ashley, one of them has to go.
Double edit
Dont read the spoiler sorry I read again.
The ending is still a bit out of left field, but it was improved in two ways after the original ME3 release:
- They patched in more "epilogue" scenes (which are included in the Legendary Edition) that make the ending feel less abrupt and a little more of a satisfying send off for everyone.
- The "Leviathan" DLC for ME3 (also included in the Legendary Edition) adds context to the events of the ending that make It feel less out of left field. This DLC is a must play for this reason.
Just want to say, anyone who will be discovering the trilogy with this, enjoy the greatest saga in gaming !
I recently replayed on PC with mods so it will be some years before I give this a try. Hopefully by then, they will have ported the mods that are still relevant, the expanded mods in ME2 and especially 3 had some really cool stuff.

Only ever played a couple hours of 2 and beginning of 3, so really excited to experience the full journey
Looking forward to revisiting this trilogy. Hopefully it will be a solid remaster.
And finally official controller support on PC!!!!

It is NOT a native ps5 app. It is ps4 with backwards compatibility. You will not be able to take advantage of the hardware of the ps5 in full.
Mass Effect 2 was the first platinum trophy I ever got. Not counting the TellTale games, it is still the only platinum I got. Looking forward to getting the Ps4 version!
Yep it was gutting,
Damn I enjoyed this game when it first came out.
Actually feeling like your part of something bigger and being space police.
I will be waiting on a sale as I already own all the originals both on disc and digital for Xbox.
But I will get this. one day.
Running through the full series it is impossible to ensure nobody dies. Some people will die due to story requirements.
Got this on pre-order and it should be arriving Friday. I'm going in completely blind and not got a clue what I'm in for.
When do reviews drop for this? It makes no difference as to whether I get the game or not, just looking for some impressions.

Envious of anyone that's getting to go into this completely fresh. I remember spending a whole year playing and replaying the very first game and waiting for more and more as the story unfolded.
This shit is honestly better than Star Wars for me at this point! Can't wait to dig in once I get some of my current backlog cleared away!

One of the best OTs I've seen in a while, great job!
Also, it's 2021 there should be an option to download English only version of the games. Forced localization files stupid as hell.

It is one of my most beloved game series! Unfortunately is disapointing the lack of PT-BR subs in this release. I have friends that till this day don't know the franchise and need the subs to fully appreciate the game.
For what it's worth, I'd like to offer a dissenting opinion re: the whole 'you have to go pure Paragon/Renegade to get everyone through alive' thing. I always play some kinda mixed-alignment character these days - I prefer to roleplay specific character traits, rather than sticking to auto-selecting blue or red - and I never lose anyone. You just have to make sure you choose the skill branches that maximise your Paragon/Renegade persuasion bonus, and pursue every opportunity to earn extra exp through the first two games.
Roleplay how you wanna roleplay; you'll be fine!
(And if you're still not convinced, I believe that one of the specific changes they're making is to reduce the difficulty of the persuasion checks that determine your crew's fate.)
After all these years, I'm finally ready to admit this (especially since I....work there now.)
Excited to finally play it again and fix my mistake.
I didn't know Wrex wasn't supposed to die. I murdered him in my first playthrough and always assumed that was a forced moment.

Oh, I know, but besides MLB, I really have nothing to play on my PS5, at least this will give me a reason.
Going to be playing through these games for the first time. Was about to try and play last year, but the rumors about the remaster just kept me from diving into it. Still haven't decided who I'm creating for my character.
Avasarala isn't really in the running, it's just the best image I could find. I'm leaning towards Bobbie though.
Avasarala is already in the game though (quarian)
made me love expanse even more
it's ruined there is a spelling error for nor not now
seriously though great OT
Just a correction about this: the default FemShep is now the same across all three games, and has face model is also unique and very detailed.
Additionally, the updated character creator has some fantastic new options to create the Shepard you want.
Please share your thoughts as you play, Kyuuji! I'm curious to know what you think.
