    • @CelestialDraconis
      @CelestialDraconis 2 года назад +15

      I kinda think that shift was the point. In ME1, we (and humans) were new to the galactic scene, everything felt alien, literally. This was represented using synths to convey an otherworldlyness to the game world. But by ME2, humanity has stepped up their game. They've either showed that they're heroes willing to make the sacrifices for the greater good or an ambitious race striving for power and dominance. There's also a sense of urgency, a calm before the storm (the point in the trilogy where we know the Reapers are coming, but they haven't arrived yet). And so, we hear a lot more of those brass and string instruments come in. By ME3, humanity is the most initiative race and take front and centre stage. But the war is devestating and to show that, we hear more mellow orchestral music and lots of piano.
      I'll always miss the synths and techno in ME1, but the music direction in the trilogy is really neat.

You're thinking of general corporate influence bastardizing every little thing they touch, like Disney or EA, because that's where you get something as visceral as civil rights or moral greys being pounded down and stripped of all seriousness into this characature of family-friendly positivity, instead of the harsh reality that many of these people have to fight through.

      @WITE FOX I'm not really interested in the remaster. It's not even as good a simple Nexus Mod called ALOT, and is wrapped in about a 60-80 dollar cheese. From what I have seen, the remaster looks worse than the old game, while ALOT looks WAY better. BioWare has lost the talent that brought us the original Mass Effect. All that is left is cash grab whores with zero talent. This is made apparently obvious by (1). NOT fixing the endings to ME3 and (2). editing out Miri's famous ass (just to value shame heterosexual people). Never mind the deal breakers like fixing the endings....

      @@jakeola10 I get you, Jake - the Genophage chapter was among the best. Much of the rest of the game was terribad in my opinion though. Vigil gave me code in ME1 that could override the starbrat, unlock relays around the Citadel, and even open the Citadel and expose Sovereign to the combined Citadel fleets and the 5th fleet?
      In one scene the device plans we get from the Mars Archive can do incalculable destruction to the Reapers, and in the next scene we need to adapt it to work with Reaper tech in order for it to be powerful enough?! (Hello, indoctrinate much?)
      Lets not even get into how the starbrat was made by the Leviathan to prevent organics from making AI, which would in turn wipe out said organics. Leviathan, who - by the way - were all but wiped out by the AI that they made to prevent..... Do you see how galactically stupid this is?
      Why does starbrat look like the kid that Spehard sees on Earth?
      The issues I have with ME3 are many and varied, but worst of all there is no win. Every single choice sucks.
      I feel that the game could have tied things back to Ilos and the secrets hidden there, and the surviving Protheans that went through the Conduit to alter the Keepers from receiving the Reaper signal. I most certainly felt ripped off by the "Day 1 DLC" From Ashes and the dumbest Prothean ever Javik.

      @@BRAWGWill Decent? Decent - as in totally made sense and made you feel on top of the world with a Win at the end? Or decent, so as to mean "at least it wasn't Completely Dogshit"? Mass 3 could have been an awesome tour de force that left us breathless. What you call decent is not what the much vaunted Mass Effect deserved as an ending. Play the original Mass Effect and ME2 again to see what I mean. ME3 is a rancid dogfart that forces you to: 1) Red: Murder your allies, or 2) Blue: become Sovereign/Starchild's puppet, or 3) Green: Mind-rape every sentient being ever born from now on into being a Reaper supplicant or, 4) Yellow: Fuck it and make no choice - bend over and let the Reapers take everything while Shepard dies like a bitch. What you call decent, in my book is more like an old biscuit - not fit for dog or man for fear of breaking a tooth.

      This music is played in that general area, usually without the Terra-Firma party around. Getting along with the Aliens on the Citadel certainly is a facet of the game that I found to be completely awesome. Most of the game paints a picture of getting along with the aliens, by making them appear quite human. Even Shepard brings this up in a conversation with Kaidan Alenko on the Normandy early on in the game. I had hoped that this fact would have contributed significantly to our "cycle" being different and a major point in winning the Reaper War. Sadly, the Devs ignored pretty much all of ME1 when they made ME3.

      @@tonycmac Well, I see your point, and I'll raise another (plus one more). ME1, while certainly having a much more diverse array of armor than the other two combined, didn't handle their implementation well. In the first place, modification and interchangeability were barely a thing, and the designs were bland/repetitive to say the least. My second point, is that the transaction system was kind of confusing. I.e. you had to pour over each stat on whatever piece of equipment that you were browsing over and see whether or not it fit your build (or your squadmate's, which was pretty annoying in and of itself and too micromanage-y for my tastes) enough to do more damage or protect you (or, again, your squadmate). Bonus point, the 'license" system felt like a pointless waste of credits that shouldn't have been implemented in the first place. I mean, I know brand loyalty is a thing; but they really should've put more thought into the transaction system and streamlined it to make it more fun, so us players can focus on either the combat, story, or exploration aspects of the game!

      Most of the repetitiveness in the models and textures of the armors, weapons, side quests, and such were due to the need to fit the completed game within just one disc. They didn't know how successful the series would be and so they avoided the cost of a two disc game. Perfectly understandable, but also a shame.
