Elmofongo: You want to keep the loot system of the older one? Where you get so much junk loot?
real.geizterfahr: I guess Breja is not talking about the totally useless inventory system. He's probably talking about ME2 and 3 beeing third person shooters instead of RPGs. The first assault rifles in Mass Effect 1 won't hit shit because bullets are spraying all over the place instead of shooting straight. This is what makes Mass Effect 1 not a shooter and thus the superior game ;P
Nah, honestly. Mass Effect 1 really needs a remake and not just a remaster. There's quite a few annoying things about the game (besides the already mentioned inventory and the ridiculous assault rifle). Especially planet exploration with the Mako to find all the minerals, artifacts and stuff. Or that there's basically only three different maps for a few dozen side missions. Don't get me wrong, Mass Effect 1 is great! But there are some annoying things about it, too. And a simple graphics update won't get rid of them.
It's funny, well not really, but how people feel about the differences between them. I think the first one is the best. The stronger RPG, the greater player agency, the grittier space opera humans rise as players in the galactic stage etc....I feel they let a lot of those things drop (including importance choices) in 2 and 3 for the boom boom visceral "romance? It's like THIS IS WAR - WHO CARES!" mindset.They went safe for 2 and especially 3...when what made Mass Effect great was that they dared to be different.
Regardless - I can't see myself buying a remaster or a remake if they're not here on GOG, as much as I'm a Mass Effect fanatic.
