Mass Effect (2007)

one of the G.O.A.T's

It's really hard to look past the bugs and all the nonsense you have to do to get it to run properly when some over-arching design choices make me question how this series took off the way that it did. As a movie / show? I think this could've been great. As a game? I'll dive into that: -Any setup with over 4GBs of ram will cause the game to crash at random. So essentially, most users on Steam will have to patch this out right out the gate with a 3rd-party program to get this to stay running. -Uncapping the base framerate of 60fps will cause issues with the game. With mouse controls, this makes the entirety of the game look choppier than it actually is. With that in mind, you might ask: Why not just use a controller? I'll tell you: -NO NATIVE CONTROLLER SUPPORT IN AN XBOX 360 TITLE. Rather than patching these issues out, we got a re-release as the Legendary Edition. The original PC ports should not be sold anymore if they have not been actively maintained AND are known to be buggy messes. I gave this port a shot because I wanted to make use of Mass Effect 2 that I got from Origin years ago. -Trying to look past all the bugs and pc-port specific issues, you finally start to get some gameplay. It's an RPG disguised as a cover shooter. Choices you make affect the rest of the game that aren't made clear to you at first. Combat mechanics, regarding aim, not explained thoroughly either. I had to do a LOT of Googling just to figure out the first hour of the game. You have to open up the correct menu just to swap guns in the middle of a gun fight when other games of the time, you press a hotkey and it's there, You have to actively babysit your squad or else they'll get themselves killed. Moving from cover to cover is a chore, you'll constantly get stuck on corners and Shepard can't seem to aim-down-sight unless it's over a cover below his kneecaps. The accuracy of your weapons are dictated, again, by vaguely-explained, if at all, stats; If aiming is inaccurate and snapping to cover only works 1/3 of the time, all you're left with are bots for teammates who constantly die on you. For the first 40 minutes, they kept dying and it was unclear to me that I had the ability to command them. They will lock onto stuff you can't even see on your map yet. The lack of quality is evident, at least in this particular port. Maybe the original xbox 360 port didn't have these issues? Maybe the rest of the Mass Effect series is good? As a newcomer to this series and my experience with the only port I got to play, I can't recommend this

Прекрасная классическая серия. Каждый раз возвращаюсь в неё с большим удовольствием!

though clunkier than the legendary edition the original lighting and colors makes the atmosphere even better and worth experiencing again

I played this version of ME1 in 2016, and it felt very clunky and dated then. After recently playing through ME1 again, but via the legendary edition version instead, I can't recommend playing through this version at all, even if you already have it sitting around in your library. The story is still as good as it ever was, but the gameplay seriously does not hold up. 16 years have passed, and I think most people are going to seriously struggle to make it through the story without becoming frustrated by the gameplay. Luckily, there's a greatly-overhauled version included in Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and buying LE on sale is probably cheaper than buying ME1 ($16 CDN for LE right now, opposed to $40 for ME1 right now), let alone cheaper than picking up the whole trilogy piecemeal. There's a lot of changes to the game, with the most notable one being a serious graphical overhaul, but the most important change IMO is that [b]the Mako is no longer completely awful to use[/b]. The Mako is everyone's least favourite part of ME1: there's a reason there's no Mako in ME2/ME3. It wouldn't really be possible to remove it from the game without a serious overhaul, but they made it pack a serious punch in the LE remaster (the cannon will one-shot basic enemies even on insanity) and give full kill XP. It's not a bad game, but it's been made fully obsolete by the remaster.

It's just a stupid Jellyfish.

El mejor juego que jugue en mi vida que queres que te diga amigo, tiene un códice con mucho texto, personajes entrañables y una mina con un traje presurizado que te podes cojer, es todo lo que necesito
