I wonder if at some point EA will look st games like this and Cities Skyline and decide it's time to try Sim City again.

This. The discussion always make these new games more tempting.reading all the comments it's making it really itchy
At least I have played Mass Effect already so the thirst is not too bad. On the other hand, GetsuFumaDen though... I am staying away from reading its discussions
Ahhh, all these new people seeing the light and saving the universe the right way with FemShep.
I think i played as ManShep for 10 minutes when i first started ME and was messing about with Character Creation before going back to Jennifer Hale's FemShep.

"Very experimental" Resident Evil Village third-person mod features a headless Ethan
A modder is working on getting a third-person perspective up and running within the normally first-person Resident Evil…
www.eurogamer.net
someone's working on a third person mod for RE Village (obviously), and it looks ...surprisingly ok, if using a character with a head (because Ethans in-game model doesnt have a head):
lol, looks like Faces of Gaming is down. Not sure if it's a maintanence thing or if they're getting hammered by people looking for Mass Effect faces.
I finally finished Enderal (total conversion for Skyrim; sequel to Nehrim); I started it in... fall 2017.
It's not that big of a game --- although it's not small by any means: the playthrough took 89 hours, reloads not included --- it's just that 70 h were from the initial vacation period, then work intervened, and getting back into such an RPG at such a late point is not easy for me.
Anyway, it's great overall, and the ending(s) tie the obscure plot points nicely, though I obviously forgot of lot of them in the 3 years since I started the game. I might attempt a second playthrough at some point, to do Forgotten Stories, and with the hope that knowledge of the ending puts things in a different perspective from the start...
Since I started in 2017, I have the non-steam, non-special version. I kept it up to date, but the Forgotten Stories expansion is not saves-compatible, so I couldn't have access to the "DLC" quests or the technical improvements of SE. While I'm still in the mood for the game, I wonder if I might just jump straight into this second playthrough, if the changes from the version I played are significant enough and I don't need 50h to get to them.
Hence a couple of questions, for anyone who has played both the original and the SE / Forgotten Stories version: (from a search, I believe at least Stevey has to some extent)
Are the technical improvements in SE noticeable? (and what is their nature? FPS? Textures? >60Hz without physics bugs?)
How long are the DLC quests? Are they accessible reasonably early on in the game? (I believe the Sickle and Undercity quests might be ? I don't remember whether it takes long to get to Ark from the start; isn't it locked down or something? but even if you can get to them fast it's little use if they require high level characters) Are they any good / fun? (ie do they justify a second playthrough by themselves?)

ME 1 was grotty because it's old and from the era where kb/m to controller mapping for ports was shoddy. Don't know how it is in the new edition and i'm pretty sure i played ME 2 & 3 with a controller. I know i played Andromeda with a controller and i plan on playing the Legendary Editions with a controller too.
edit: Had to restart Steam but it's decrypting now...

I am once again installing Halo to play it for an hour or two before uninstalling it again because it ain't that good.
I played male Shepard back in the day when I played ME 1 and 2 so I think I'll go female Shepard this time.
I didn't receive the transfer, you should try again in a couple minutes.

I found that the non special edition ran a lot worse for me, never felt smooth.
The SE runs at a 90FPS lock as put in by the devs, as they say physics go a bit weird above that.
The SE ran buttery smooth for me, although a bug which stopped all music playing halted my playthrough.
Holy shit, this looks so copypasted from Cities:Skylines it really bothers me.
Also lol
I've noticed now that all third party stores sell only Origin keys of ME:LE
OP
In RE8, once I get better gun and shotgun, I can just sell the old ones? Getting tight in my inventory.
In the meanwhile the SE finished downloading, and since you can load old saves (with a warning), I compared a few locations.
Graphically, it's basically the same. I had the two versions running at the same time, and got mildly confused as to which I was looking at on a few occasions.
Strangely, FOV is handled differently. fov 80 in original version is rougly equivalent to fov 95 in SE. No idea why that would ever be a thing.
Better AA in SE.
There is a kind of "fog effect", even in places with no justifiable fog, like the starting location. It feels like the air is not quite transparent. The image feels a bit washed out for that reason. Not sure I like it too much.
There is a depth of field effect in SE, at the edge of your vision.
That's pretty much it.
When I loaded an endgame save at the temple during the Cleansing, the unique "inverse snow" effect in that location was absent. May be a compatibility bug between the versions, and not a sign that some stuff is missing in SE.
I confirm the buttery smoothness, immediately obvious.

That's unfortunate. Were you far in? Did you do any Forgotten Stories stuff?
Yep, no point in keeping them around. Also, a tip, if you ever feel that you're low on a particular type of ammo, upgrade that weapon's ammo capacity. It'll refill magically.
New historical low (on Steam store)
Oh I did not know that! Should have waited with some upgrades. But I am playing on easy so I don't think I will have an issue with ammo.Yep, no point in keeping them around.

Mass Effect trilogy never had controller support on PC until a funky mod came out for it around 2016 iirc. And that mod was a mess as well with how the wheel worked for dialogue etc. I remember installing it was a nightmare too if you had texture mods.
So this Legendary Edition is technically the first time those games will have official controller support on PC. I'm excited to check it out tho I think I will still play 95% of it with M/KB.
All I know the devs have been very active with feedback and generally been great.

I'm considering getting the bundle for Thea 2!

Apparently, it's capped at 75 FOV, lol. Best bet is to wait for a mod.
Is a FOV slider too much to ask for games released on PC.
Green Man Gaming still hasn't provided keys for Days Gone.
That's a pretty cool move.
When's the starfield reveal? Surely those leaks are hot on the heel of something.
