My love-hate relationship with Mass Effect 1

The moment where I meet the love of my life, Ashley Williams. London Philharmonic soundtrack. Most loving story in the entire gaming scene (for me)
So I just keep reminding myself that this is my favorite game of all time.

It's just that this 2007-year-old game has not aged well. This is NOT a remastered version. They just added some textures.
This does not feel like the work of a big gaming company. More like the work of modders from nexusMods.
Everything about this is soo old! I got killed in this game more than I can imagine. It's because of how the weapons to shoot, the cover system that does not work, and the character movements.
The worst part: companions. They are useless, and if you give them cover commands etc it's even worst.

The game keeps telling you to add points to skills as you see fit to better suit the job. NO. They are the dumbest I.A. ever....they don't shoot, they can't run. can't fallow me, the cover is useless. So after getting killed over and over and over I decided to add first all the points into armor and Fitness, basically turning all m,y guys into tanks. At least this way they stay alive.

Overall, I am so disappointed with what Bioware did with this remastered.

Weird, I had the opposite experience with the Remaster and I think its decently made. 'did not regret buying it and spent a good ~240+ hours with it till I finished the whole serie'

As in, I had no issues with the game whatsoever and this was my third time playing the entire serie.
1x full original/vanilla, 1x Nexus Modded with visual mods and such and 1x Remaster and imo Remaster is the best way to play them.
Remaster is more than just texture mods and some fixes here and there, might not that noticeable but if you go from original to Remaster its a pretty big difference imo.
If you think it did not age well, try the original ME 1 with no mods and check that aged gameplay out.

I did play 'only' on Veteran difficulty and there I did not notice my team mates being useless either, sure they can die here and there but nothing too bad or annoying.
Most of the times I died due to my careless gameplay since I went with a Vanguard this time and sometimes just charged into too many enemies. :laugh:

there is something you are doing wrong cause i dont remember ding more then 4-5 times for the entire play through.
i used companions either as target dummies to spread enemy fire from me or hard covered in safe place so they dont mess with my aim.
btw your shield recharges after some time w/o taking dmg so when advancing look for possible safe spots where you can wait till shield recharges.
also make sure you equip your crew with specter weapons

Been playing eFootball 2022 and uhm...

Why is the ref in the ground? This didn't happen to me but these are the types of bugs you find every 30 seconds of gameplay.

BTW, don't play this game, it's atrocious.

They purposely wanted the refs to be in 2D? That makes no sense. KONAMI switched to the Unreal Engine and they clearly don't know how to work with it. There are many more bugs like this on the internet.

No? Doesn't look like that from the screen shot, at least not to me..

@Sithaer only referring to ME1
Giving an order to one of your teammates pressing the Q or E button to design a position, they will go randomly into cover, as you can not pinpoint the exact spot with accuracy. They will just sit there without moving in the middle of the cover, not realizing they need to move a bit to the left to shoot at the enemy.
Using their abilities is useless! simply because they are never ever in the right spot, so they will say something like "I can't do that" or just shoot the ability into a completely different direction ignoring the enemy altogether.
So the teammates are 95% of the time completely useless, leaving you to do 100% of the fighting only using your Shepard abilities....making the fight sooo hard

The camera....everything about the camera. I died all the time because there is a tight spot, and the teammates are just sitting there not moving, when I try to run for cover, I get stuck in my own teammates.
The cover system is horrible. The idea is that you run to a cover point by holding "space" and he will automatically cover. This works 5% of the time.....You will die always because Shepard can't trigger the cover.

I am playing of course on the latest update..cuz I purchased the game, so don't think I'm using a cracked version. The updates are only for stability and quest trigger issues.....the artificial intelligence is the same since 2007. All they did was add a few textures to make the game look better.
And NO it does not look better. Don't think this is Skyrim modded. No, it's modded just a bit so it can run on old computers....just a small amount.

The experience is horrible...and then you get a cutscene,that's when the game really shines. The story...but to get to the story you need to handle the game mechanics.

Well I'm sorry to say this but that sounds like mainly user error to me. 'no offense really it just sounds completely new to me after 3 playthrough of ME 1'

Did not have any of those issues, also I never use the order option with my team and they do all their stuff on their own other than me manaully triggering their skills in harder fights/situations.
Cover system is also fine as it is and to be honest I'm not even sure how that issues is happening for you, just press your designated cover button and let Shepard cover.Don't spam it else he/she will get out of cover right after covering and that can get you killed obviously.

Game definitely looks better than vanilla ME 1, not just textures but lights/shading too + mind you there are places where they re designed the zones a bit like the base/big room in Noveria and there are more planets/zones with better vegetation,etc. 'correct me if I'm wrong but Nexus mods don't do that'
You can find comparison vids too, I belive there was an official one before the relase.

I don't have the game installed anymore since it was on my 1TB SSD which I only use for games I play and I don't really feel like reinstalling/dling again just to check those issues. :oops:

Edit:

Bigger list of the changes:

Thats more than just texture mods for sure.

Lego Builder's Journey, I thought this was a 45m game but it turned out to be a lot longer (or maybe I was just bad at its puzzles). Super cute with a "story" told completely without dialogue. Give it a try if you find it for cheap.

I'm hoping it comes to GOG. Would love to play it.

Far Cry 6 serves up the tried and tested recipe and it's not all that demanding on the hardware really and running in ultra at about 70fps. Very smooth.

I have played every Far Cry, some of it is very similar, base capture for area control. But there are changes. Walk over dead enemies to loot, so don't have to stop to loot every enemy. I haven't played it a whole lot, but will be reporting in my Far Cry 6 thread as i go on.

Kingdom Hearts on PS2. Had to start a new game as my friend borrowed my other memory card. Luckily I got a second one (actually the seller of this game from ebay gave this as a freebie), a genuine Sony silver one.
