ME 1-3 are some of my absolute favorite games of all time, and I completely forgot Pinnacle Station existed. It’s entirely forgettable, and people are just pissy over the principle of anything being left out.

I’m a huge ME fan, and I don’t remember Pinnacle being anything worth caring about, so given the mess Bioware is in currently, I’m cool with them just saying F it. I’d honestly rather they devote those 6 months to almost anything else they’re working on, as nice as free updates would be.

Yeah, I actually just reinstalled my copy (I do so every 6 months or so) to jump back in. As others have said, without a drastic overhaul on how the loot works, I’d honestly not want to go back to it in the remaster unless I could import my old file; I’ll miss the graphics, but I spent way too much time (and some…

People were recently complaining about having to play MP to get the best ending, and I thought that wasn’t the case, so thanks for pointing this out. While I love ME3's MP, I was happy they didn’t require it in the end.

Very late to this post (mainly because I’m not from New England, so these will rarely pop up around me), but you’re absolutely spot-on with Focal Banger. I was a little underwhelmed the first time I had Heady (“It’s the best beer in the world according to Rate Beer!!!”), but a friend grabbed me a couple packs of both…

I’m going through it on 30 fps w/raytracing on my XBSeX (mainly because this is my first dose of RT), and while I would’ve preferred jumping directly to the DLC (which was the main reason I grabbed it), it absolutely deserves to be played through on a more competent console at the very least.

Shouldn’t it be the other way around? The longer the consoles are out, the more games are optimized for them, the easier it should be to implement RT. This is a game that as you said ran pretty terribly on the last-gen (I played through it on an XB1 Slim and the framerate was dogshit), and the current gen has been…

Yeah, I agree. I know it’s not always a popular opinion because a lot of the pro-matchmaking players are sick of incompetent randos, but there’s definitely a missed opportunity for some of the non-raid content (I’d actually be fine with a separate matchmade raid queue as well, but it probably wouldn’t work out well)…

“They did...and we lived”

Yeah, I like them mixing it up with seasonal activities; they don’t all work for me (especially because I don’t like the power grind, and as a result feel like I’m locked out of some of them for a while), but I like switching things up like they did the first few times.

Looks good. I’ve always liked the Cabal aesthetic (I still haven’t forgiven Bungie for vaulting the Menagerie) so I’m glad to see these big idiots back. New matchmade activity is great for those of us who don’t like to manually find friends online, and I’m always excited for a new exotic bow.

Moving to an entirely new game would lose a large portion of the playerbase they currently have, and would completely erase everything players have done in D2 for the last few years. There’s a ton of stuff that Bungie could do better, but making D2 more “MMO-style” (in that each expansion builds off the base game) was…

I didn’t realize the “Ultimate” edition won’t work with older save files, that’s actually...a huge bummer, since I mostly got it to play through the DLC with some added XSeX pizzazz.

To be clear, I meant an official console version, since I assume this is going to be some kind of homebrew file made available for PC. 

Came here for this take. Popeyes biscuits + red beans and rice is all I need.

Why won’t they let me pay for this?!? I’d kill for an HD remaster of one of my favorite games.

My personal issue with sunsetting is that 1) Bungie has a habit of messing with a lot of the weapons that feel “best” to me (and other players, clearly) and 2) they’re replacing weapons we spent a ton of time working on (to find your god roll or whatever) with weapons we have to spend even more time grinding for, and…

As someone without much knowledge of how those MMOs work, here’s my guess:

Very true! It’s also a great game to come back into every few months for a couple weeks, because the holiday events can be fun; Festival of the Lost (the Halloween one) is one of my favorites, because it’s an easy way to keep up the holiday spirit in my house, while still shooting stuff.

While raids are generally too stressful for me (because I don’t really like socializing when I play videogames), I totally agree. Some of the stuff Bungie does in their endgame content really pushes the envelope for what you want to see in an FPS.
