RIPPA 34,685 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 So Henry Cavill posted a tease last night of a project he is working on and people are losing their minds because it appears to be Mass Effect https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/henry-cavill-must-be-writing-mass-effect-fanfic Quote There he is, getting his hair and makeup done while showing off his blurry bit of reading. Some detectives over at Gamepressure ran Cavill's pic through Focus Magic - software that handily removes blur from images - and managed to make out words like "Cerberus", "Reaper", "Geth" and "Tali'Zorah". A little more sleuthing and Gamepressure figured out it was a paragraph from the Mass Effect 3 Wikipedia page about the game's plot. Link to post Share on other sites

Even there I never had much trouble, at least once I had the money for Spectre gear. My simple (possibly incorrect) rules - every gun you pick up is trash. - every omni-tool and/or amp that doesn't say "Savant" on it is trash. - Every armor that doesn't say "Predator" (except for one Krogan one that I can't remember the name of) is trash. - The system breaks down a bit with mods, or course, but even there I only went with a couple things and and chucked the rest.

Gonzo 2,308 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Also they're going to try to make the Mako maybe not suck quite so much. I'll be incredibly impressed if they can pull that off. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Craig H 14,931 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I'd rather the Mako still be janky as hell, but the buildings you visit not all be the same thing. I had to rationalize all the sameness of those buildings as there being a megacompany that had this one, inexpensive template for a building, and whatever corporations were like, "just give us those." 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Casey 8,892 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Prevailing rumor seems to be that it’s a live stream on release day with some of the cast, the devs, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

RIPPA 34,685 Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Oh like you aren’t gonna spend the entire first day in the character creator perfectly recreating your Shepard Link to post Share on other sites

ME character importation made me lazy in the past, so it will probably take forever to tinker with my Shepard this time around. I was smarter when I made my Cyberpunk 2077 character. All of his specs are written down on the back page of the World Compendium booklet that comes with the game. I can almost recreate him in my sleep. Edited April 28 by J.T.

Robert C 2,161 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hadn't been paying that close attention to the release date, so I just now realized I'm heading out for vacation hours before. First time I've been away from the house for an entire day since 2019. Another example of my perfect timing. I'll be in a cabin out in the woods with no TV or internet, trying to convince my wife that those weird ass Axis deer calls are chupacabra. At least there won't be any temptation to try to find a way to play. Link to post Share on other sites
RIPPA 34,685 Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 The devs have said that you will actually be able to toggle between the new Mako controls and the original (or as close to the original controls) Link to post Share on other sites
Raziel 9,072 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Who the hell would want to do that? I say before I even know what the new controls are... Link to post Share on other sites
J.T. 11,326 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) I never really had a problem with the Mako controls. It was the first person weapon sights that were off by a mile that bothered me. After a while, I just gave up and began eyeballing azimuth in the third person and had much better results. Notice that they haven't said dick about the Hammerhead yet. Edited May 7 by J.T.

Casey 8,892 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I never had a problem with the controls for the Mako in ME1. I hated the entire idea of using the Mako. So yeah I'm not looking forward to that part of ME1, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't super hype for next week. It's got me wanting to play Andromeda again too, and maybe try and finish it. Perhaps when it's on sale again, I'll grab it. I don't want to pay $30 for it, it wasn't that great. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew POE! 504 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Trophies/achievement lists are out for Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. Mass Effect 1 PS4 Trophy List Mass Effect Legendary Edition Trophies Mass Effect 2 PS4 Trophy List Mass Effect 3 PS4 Trophy List Mass Effect Legendary Edition Achievement List Basically: 3 separate Platinums for ME1-3 + separate trophy list, a massive list for Xbox One/Series X owners It will entail doing Insanity difficulty without changing it on all three games. @J.T., @RIPPA or @Caseyor @JLSigman or anyone in the thread, you up for it? (There may be limits to what I do lol) Edited May 8 by Andrew POE! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
J.T. 11,326 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I'm a pretty rubbish Biotic, so I probably won't clear those achievements unless squaddie powers count towards them. Doing the game on Insanity through all three installments is out of the question at least for my first run. Link to post Share on other sites
