I'm surprised that you didn't mention this issue for Deus Ex Human Revolution as well. But at least they didn't promise that your actions in the first game would affect the ending.

[@swaglordsircumnuggets1814]

Yuzuru A In fairness to Mass Effect 3 and Andromeda, the original ending to me3 got leaked and they had to redo the ending just a few months before release and andromeda was made by the B team.

[@xXLoonoeXx]

The thing with Mass Effect 3's ending is that it's so underwhelming. That game could've had 1 hour's worth of just cutscenes after the end, showcasing everything that happened, the consequences of my choices etc. and instead you got a slideshow.

[@KasumiRINA]

And that's the Extended Cut version. Original was even more barebones.

[@thegeneralissimo470]

It was literally just 3 colors of the same fucking scene

[@AzureKyle]

One thing not mentioned was in every ending, Shepard dies, but in the extended edition, if you got a high enough war rating and picked the Destroy (red) ending, you'd get an extra scene they showed in this video of Shepard survivng, though not much more than that.

[@antonyduhamel1166]

​@@thegeneralissimo470Literally my favourite example of gamer snark was when someone (after the release of ME3) sent 333 cupcakes to Bioware's head office. There were 111 blue, 111 red, and 111 green cupcakes. They were all vanilla flavoured.

[@ThePretenderGirl]

​@AzureKyle No, that was in the original ending, too. I've found video footage of it from before the extra scenes were released. And I liked the ending with the extended cut. Even if they had a crapload of scenes, everyone would have complained about them and said things like, "Well, my characters wouldn't have done that!" or something. Nothing would've made the ones who tried to SUE BIOWARE happy.

I always thought it should have been "truth, accuse, disprove" and that would have been a smoother fix than a good cop/bad cop labelling.

That mechanic needs more than three options to feel correct in the context of LA Noire. Which is a shame because I really, really wanted to love that game.

[@RoyRogerer]

@@TransmitHim Exactly. The doubt was there to accuse somebody of lying with no evidence. If you had the evidence, you would choose lie. The Doubt option threw me off so bad I messed up most investigations, and it was only long after I finished the game that I realized what it actually meant.

I often found it difficult to know when Doubt was supposed to be applied; it just never seemed to click for me and felt kind of random. I only got past by save scumming lol. I kind of wished that the scenes hadn't been filmed so as to suggest rightness or wrongness. When you get the right answer, the camera perspective is different, in addition to the musical cue (I know you can turn that off but the camera is still there). It took me out of the immersion of the case by calling attention to my mistakes. Also I stopped paying as close attention cause I knew the music would tell me. If it had been a little less feedback-y, I think I would have stayed more immersed cause I would have had to pay more close attention to the words and clues.

I honestly found the water temple in Ocarina of Time to be confusing, but not impossible. It was very doable. Unlike the original Link's Awakening where if you open the wrong door, you get stuck in the dungeon because you don't have enough keys and have to start over.

[@maxhydekyle2425]

I'm glad they kind of fixed that in LA Noire. I remember a lot of people blamed Aaron Staton (Cole's voice and Mocap actor) for over acting, but I always felt like that probably wasn't the problem. He's amazing in Mad Men so I knew he was a great actor.

[@thajocoth]

The only fix the Water Temple needed was moving the Iron Boots to an item slot. The actual navigation was always fairly straightforward otherwise. I've always liked it for being one of the few dungeons in Ocarina to actually use verticality in its design.

[@VCSaars]

Having recently replayed Zelda Ocarina of Time on both the original N64 release and the 3DS version I still prefer the N64 version even including the Water Temple. I just love having the use of the C buttons and A button for playing the Ocarina I guess.

[@stealthbonus]

Thank God. I'm not the only one. I mean sure the water level was tedious, but overall I didn't find it the most difficult dungeon in the game.

[@draliann]

Final Fantasy XIV is like the usual example people reference when they talk about this sort of topic. I'm shocked you guys missed it, lmao. They blew up the world and made that the start of re-release cut scene. They completely remade it between original release and The Realm Reborn.

[@LikeTheBuffalo]

My first playthrough of ME3: the holochild laid out the deal and I said "I reject these choices." and he said "Then the cycle will continue." and instead of Buzz Aldrin telling another story about the Shepard after a wash of Cornetto-flavoured-light I got a video of a garden world, untouched terrain spreading to the horizon except for one of the Glyph beacons Liara talks about. Would have been a bitter sweet ending if the game didn't then immediately Quick Load to the beginning of the holochild conversation.

[@KasumiRINA]

It makes no sense, however. WHY would Shepard spend so much time building the Crucible (that's what war assets, alliances, and the majority of the game are for), and suddenly refuse to use it because of a crappy pop-up?! (Mass Effect's term for annoying holograms). Whole story of the game is about building a weapon to stop the Reapers. Why not use it?! Control is something Illusive man tried to do. Game is clear between picking his or Anderson's side. Then synthesis is Saren's way. Sure, everything was poorly-explained but each of these options makes more sense than literally refusing to use the weapon for no reason after it took so much to get there!..

[@LikeTheBuffalo]

@@KasumiRINA Quite frankly, I was just pressing the bottom option in the conversation hoping for more options. Refusing the choices was an accident but it led to a cutscene few people ever saw. So calm down, no need to leave a 500 word essay on the merits of Mass Effect.

[@42roadsforman]

I loved the water temple and still do. I also, however, loathed having to switch the boots via the menu. The temple design itself (without the boot-menu-switch) is still a great dungeon/puzzle. And, oh yeah, those menu sounds..........uhhhhhg

[@SamJ.J.]

I also thought the temple wasn't that annoying but the instant toggle in the remaster is quite wonderful. Also helps the hover boots significantly since you need to toggle them off to stop properly.

[@stefanm.734]

About the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time, there was also the re-release of the game for Gamecube that did something similar, but changed the design of the dungeon instead. The Master's Quest, which was designed to make all the dungeons more challenging, actually made the Water Temple _way_ easier.

[@calebgoodman3028]

The 3DS has that version of the Water Temple as well, but only as an unlock able so you still have to beat the game. They also mirrored it so it’s not exactly the same but still.

Fable! With the lost chapters they fixed jacks voice before he sounded more like a school bully than a threatening villain

[@lunarlunatick]

I dunno.. I kinda liked the original voice.. the new one really surprised me. His original voice just sounded much creepier and unsettling and I think it fit his design with that wicked looking mask.. but I suppose a villain as powerful as he was supposed to be needed a stronger more impressive voice.. and the old one did kinda make it super obvious he was all evil and stuff so it was a bit wierd NPCs found him heroic

[@MHurley21]

@@lunarlunatick I think you might have that last point backwards. Jack's old voice was nasally and less menacing, but it made his ability to manipulate the Hero of Oakvale more believable; he sounded like an arrogant twat, but that's normal for heroes. The voice he was given in the re-release sounds inhumanly deep, like he was some kind of demon from another dimension which is exactly what he is, it just screams "this guy is the villain and the protagonist is a fucking idiot for not piecing it together!"

You know, a 'D' turns into a 'B' so easily. You just got greedy."? There were so many believable options. Republic Commando. X-Wing versus TIE Fighter. One of those early wireframe games. But you just HAD to go for "the one where you can be a Gammorean called Hoar". (...That said, I am 100% sure at least a few dozen people have Teras Kasi as their probably nostalgia-based favourite.)

[@josephattwell1006]

What about Fallout 3? In the original version of the ending, you were forced to choose to either send a human brotherhood of steel soldier or yourself into a super radioactive room. If you had any of the three radiation immune companions on your side, they would refuse to enter the room because you dying painfully and pointlessly in the chamber of radiation poisoning was your "destiny." If you send the Brotherhood of steel soldier into the chamber instead, you get to here Ron Pearlman calling you a coward. In the DLC "Broken Steel," you can instead send one of your radiation immune companions into the room so no one has to die. Regardless of your choice, you are knocked into a coma for two weeks, then allowed to play the DLC's extended storyline. Weirdly, if you didn't go into the Chamber yourself, you still have to suffer Ron Pearlman calling you a coward.

Another example, Halo Combat Evolved and the port to pc/Anniversary edition. The anniversary edition was made based on the pc port which screwed up the lighting, turning basically all the bump mapping in the game making off and everything look extremely flat. It also added fog in some parts of the game intentionally or no and the updated graphics has incorporated the fog which was never intended. Most notable bump mapping issue is with the ground on Truth And Reconciliation (mission 3). The floor just looks like a flat brown surface yet in the original it looks like actual dirt. There’s a minor, kinda fix if you aim at where the bump mapping should be and turn your flashlight on. It’ll look as intended but only for the small section you’re shining your light on and the flashlight has a limited battery

A great rerelease for fixing problems (except that it should've just been a patch & DLC) is Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. The original Dragon's Dogma was incredibly tedious because you had to set waypoints to fast travel by physically putting certain items in certain places, those items were extremely limited, & you needed additional items to activate the fast travel feature anyway, which were also very limited. Dark Arisen added both items to various locations so your fast travel options gradually get more diverse as you progress & the items are often found in locations that you're likely to wanna fast travel back to later. It also added the option to buy the items from a certain merchant in case you ran low or wanted to add waypoints faster. Another common complaint is that the menus for using items can be tedious. The PC version helped with this by letting you hotkey items so you don't have to open the menu as often.

[@odinsplaygrounds]

LA Noire is 1940s and not 1950s as she said in the video. Not on that change, I wish they added the ANSWER as the option. So you choose what to answer. You still won’t know where the hell he will say, which is so random based on what you thought you would convey. The whole game becomes a whole guessing game when they hide your answer for the player.
