How about we get some perspective to the numerous new bugs they introduced and have still not fixed?
My page 3 post list still stands, among others:
1. Aralakh Company & Xen war assets are missing, if it's intended I hope they let us know.
2. Headshots not blowing heads off as they should in ME3 when mouse and keyboard are used.
3. Radio animation bug: people put their hand on their heads as if they use a helmet or something, holding their arm very far from their head.
4. Various animations, especially facial, missing from ME1 (e.g. eyelid movement) and ME2 (e.g. expressions), and ME3 (e.g. Shepard's helmet moves when talking issue) and so on.
5. ME3 missing follow-up melee attack animations (fixed by a modder for the time being).
6. Some solution for the lack of anti-aliasing, since even 4K has the games looking super jaggy, as well as shadow flickering issues.
7. And so on. There are many bugs reported in this forum and detailed, including the ones mentioned above, plus more: ME1 sound issues, ME2 advanced training issues (?), ME3 shields issues, etc.
-
Please stop defending them by brushing off serious problems that did not exist to begin with. They advertised this as a remastered version "like you've never seen it before", and 3.5 months later they have neither communicated regarding fixing basic problems that seriously hinder gameplay, nor have presented a patch for any serious issue - so praising them for that they have already patched, which revolves exclusively on bugs they created, or claiming the gameplay is "rock solid" as it is, is plain asinine with a mountain of proof to the contrary.
Also, do not get sidetracked by the small number of people, like me, who bother to waste their time on these forums trying alternative methods to productively inform the developers and possibly find solutions, there is a number of people who have had issues and just didn't bother to do something about it.
The way they advertised the remastered version, as a better and improved graphical experience, and then abandoned it with such game-breaking issues some months later, is straight up false advertising and a breach of consumer trust. The watering down I am reading from some people in here is as infuriating as the ignorance they present regarding EA's responsibilities towards its advertised product. The shields and audio issues are pretty game-breaking - and for me, personally, the headshot, animations, and war assets issues are straight up as game-breaking due to how they break immersion.
And before anyone says these are neither game-breaking nor break consumer trust via false advertising; they straight up advertised on their platforms and other media that the game can run up to 240 frames per second, the fact that shields do not regenerate properly under said framerates is a clear and definite breach of both. I will not sit to list and analyze every little false advertisement they conducted, because there are many, make no mistake about that.
Furthermore, nobody but new players have the expectation of fixing decade old bugs. Old fans, we know better, I suppose - although, we should all expect fixes here and there, this being the "remastered" version and all. But, at this point, they should at the very least fix every single bug they created which did not exist in the originals, and bring the game on par with the title "remastered". Therefore, do not use this as an excuse to sidetrack conversation making us seem like we have unreasonable demands, it is insulting.
Lastly, providing us with small bug-fixes for the Remastered version, like Turifying Elanos Haliat, one of the many bug-fixes ME1 Recalibrated has had (and more than the Legendary Edition has in total), while also only adding higher resolution textures to Mass Effect 2 and 3, is no reason to be thankful, it is the absolute bare minimum.
As a consumer, I feel betrayed for being preyed upon my nostalgia and emotions. I care not for the ridiculousness of some posts here: I will not bother myself too much arguing in forums like this one, nor try to take legal action, I am just not buying again - a simple and reasonable sentiment, shared by some of my peers.
