Bethesda's Starfield will be Xbox and PC exclusive

I understand this fella Jeff is a reliable leaker of video game related news so thought id share but if i find another source that verifies it ill link it here (If i remember that is) but given how Bethesda was recently acquired by MS it makes sense.

This would be a shock to some, if anyone had any of the new consoles anyways.

lmao true

[Juristonia]

Which sucks, because I bet the Bethesda bugs and glitches look amazing on next gens.

Anyone try out the Mass Effect remaster yet? Any major differences in gameplay or story?

I plan to when it goes on sale, I'm just not ready to be depressed for like a month again after finishing the game. At least our tears will be in HD though!

As far as I know I heard they are making no changes to the story at all. I never did get to play the Citadel or Leviathan DLC so that will be interesting.

Of course. I knew the lazy bastards wouldn't fix that bullshit ending.

I agree. They could have done us all a favor and just added an ending set maybe 1 year after the events of Mass Effect 3 where all 'surviving' main and side characters throw an anniversary party on board the Normandy given that the readiness score was maxed out and Shepard survived. Just.. imagine like a 30 minute interactive scene where everyone just finally gets to relax. Imagine it opens with Dr. Chakwas opening a bottle of Serrice Ice Brandy and pouring Shepard a glass as they enter the Normandy crew deck with their love interest while being greeted by all of their friends. Just imagine...

I’ve been looking into the differences between the ME remaster and the original. ME1 has tons of quality of life changes, but for me, the greatest of all is the removal of class based weapon restrictions.

Yeah, that’s right. I always chose assault rifles as my new game plus perk when playing the other classes. I liked them. I was good with them. And I was... really... I was alive.

[The first Galactic Republic]

Also Pinnacle isn’t coming back. Apparently the source code is corrupted beyond repair.

Imagine indeed. But there's that old catch-22 that if the ending is any good, I don't write my own and discover I really enjoy writing stories. It's a quandary that.

This might be a unpopular opinion, but I think I actually prefer the remastered version of ME: 1 rather than the original. Not because of graphics of course I could care less about that... The one thing I like about this is that the gameplay in the remaster is a lot better than the original.


Also question how hard is "Bring Down The Sky" DLC in ME1?

I think most people prefer the new gameplay, even if there are a few purists.

From when I last played it, I don’t remember Bring Down The Sky being more difficult than the rest of the game. It felt like an extended mission to me.

Pinnacle Station was hell. Kinda glad it's gone. I don't think I'd want to torture myself trying to play it ever again.

Can confirm.

That talk with Wrex was intense.... I thought he was going to die. I'm glad I maxed out my charm.

In the Remaster MEL has people found away to get full Galactic Readiness without the help of the MP side in ME3?

I’ve heard it’s been rebalanced since there’s no multiplayer anymore.

But even in the original ME3, there was a patch that lowered the requirement for the best ending so players could get it through single player alone. In fact, there technically was no cap on readiness back then because multiplayer characters became a readiness asset when prestiged, and you could do that an unlimited number of times.

I do remember a companion web game that you needed to reduce the readiness grind. I’m glad that’s not a thing now.

Great moment honestly. One of the reasons Wrex really stands out as a companion.

It’s rare that games remember companions might have their own motives that don’t always align with the protagonist’s.

Oh man that sucks to hear. Did you get Wrex's family armor? I think that kinda helps with the conversation.
