![]() ![]() Remember, a series like Mass Effect hard defies speedrunning. I haven't seen if any weird choice combinations break the game. And I've yet to see major choices, whether in squad selections or dialogue wheels, have significant ripple effects on my Shepard's existence. I've gotten nowhere near most of the series' DLC packages, which now appear as organic content and bonus freebies in the course of each campaign. Since I spent my limited time jumping from platform to platform and grappling with an obnoxious bug that temporarily zeroed out my ownership of the PC version, I still have a lot left to explore through the course of all three Mass Effect games. At least on Xbox One X, ME1's Xbox 360 version runs at a smoother 30 fps. The performance is uneven enough for me to tell owners of older console to perhaps stick with their uglier, original versions with fewer QoL fixes. While I don't presently have a base Xbox One to test on, I assume MELE doesn't fare any better here. Meanwhile, 2017's Xbox One X struggles to reach a locked 60 fps in its own "performance" mode, while even "quality" mode on that console-which struggles to lock to 30 fps and adds more pixel resolution-still includes garish downscales on visual aspects like shadow resolution. You get the choice, at least-and it's nice to get a path to solid, steady, 60 fps Mass Effect with most of the remaster's touches intact. Shadows and higher-resolution reflections are welcome in the remastered games' copious zoomed-in cinematic scenes, but 30 fps while either aiming guns or piloting the Mako are harder Hallex pills to swallow. "Quality" drops the action to 30 fps, maxes out visual settings to have parity with Series X, and renders at approximately 1440p. "Performance" runs at 60 fps and roughly 1080p but with certain visual bells and whistles disabled, particularly dynamic shadows. Speaking of 1080p, Xbox Series S offers the same two modes, but they play out differently. ![]()
