BurningBeard Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I don't think I could replay the originals again after my Grand Unified Playthrough a few years ago. Only real thing I regret from that was letting Miranda die during the final mission in ME2 after she cold-shouldered me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finished the ME2 playthorugh two days before ME3. Yes, it took that long. Yes, I did every side mission in both games and beat the DLC. No, I still have not unlocked the "ally" achievements for ME1 because I hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The licenses are still good so I can download the content as many times as I want to and can play on the XB1 whenever. Obviously I know you can still play it My point was towards you saying that the price point needed to be lower. It can't get much lower than free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I didn't go to the extremes of mining every single planet and all that but I got all the DLC and did the side missions. Alas I always seemed to reach a 'fuck this' point where I just wanted to get on with the narrative My team pic still brings a tear to my eye, completed Citadel right before I did the final mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 .... So I'm the only one that Mass Effect 2 and 3 still show up as "Not available" when I try to download them on the 1 then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have to go to the XBOX Live Marketplace on the web and "rebuy" the games so they show up as available to download Of course - you had to have bought them originally online to be available. Otherwise you still need the discs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I have the discs, and it only pops up as "This 360 game isn't available on the One" and has been showing that way for 2 months solid now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yeah - in looking on the marketplace - the games list as "not available" despite saying they are available on the One So I am wondering if they had problems with the backwards compatiability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In poking around - someone people got it to work but others have said they got the same message as you Others claim you can only play them via EA Access - so who the fuck knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 That last one really screams like an EA move. So I'm guessing that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My BroShep was a black dude named Arion after a pretty obscure DC comic book character from a sword and sorcery joint and then came along Arion Foster to mess my shit up. I'd initially wanted to name him Travis after Travis "The Warlord" Morgan, another one of my favorite obscure DC comic book characters. As with all of my African American game avatars, Arion Shepard had a soul patch. FemShep should have been Amethyst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, you can probably get a transcribed version of the first 2 games and be good. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything that went down in 3 that would still be relevant in 4. If you mean combat wise, well, between me, J.T, Phil, and Mark, we have probably put in a combined year of our collective lives playing Mass Effect games, and that might be underselling it. We can teach a bit if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I worry about not being to figure the story out, but everyone's saying the upcoming game is gonna be a clean slate, story-wise. And don't say "you gotta play the first three," 'cause that ain't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 At some point, I really should go back and finish 2 and play 3. I think I only got maybe 10 hours into 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Only things you might need to know is what aliens are which. And the game usually comes with a Codex that will you a run down of things , so just read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I think I've hit the point were I might kinda shut down Mass Effect: Andromeda news. Most games recently I've really enjoyed are ones I didn't know much about going in, so I might go to Media Blackout mode. That said, I'll see you guys on the other side.

RIPPA Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 What is so funny to me is that Trask (of Wrestling With Words) wrote an article for his other gig at Joystick about how because Bioware hasn't been releasing as much information as they normally do, clearly the game isn't ready and is being rushed out. And they only way to prove that it is ready is to release more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of anything more ridiculous than trying to get someone I don't know, to do something I want, to prove a point that they aren't even trying to make.

As release day gets closer, I am going to boycott any website or news feed that mentions anything about Andromeda. When the obligatory Mass Effect stomach punch hits, I want to sit there screaming WHY~??? at my television set and sobbing uncontrollably. The best part about this franchise (and Bioware RPGs in general) is the WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?? discussion that inevitably follows the part of the story that kicks you in the groin really hard.. I AM ACTUALLY REVAN??? ARE YOU SHITTING ME RIGHT NOW??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
