Mass Effect Legendary Mode vs. Classic Mode: Which Level Scaling Option Should You Choose?

New DVD releaseclassic, effect, legendary, level, option, scaling, which

We’ve spoken before about the numerous changes that Mass Effect Legendary Edition makes to the original Mass Effect, but the one change that seems to be throwing most players for a loop is the ability swap set the game’s “Level Scaling” setting between Classic Mode and Legendary Mode in the options menu. The game’s menu tells you that “in classic mode, the original 1-60 level range will be used instead of the new 1-30 level range. XP and talent points progression remains the same, but the number of levels is doubled.” It’s understandable the developers wanted to keep that menu…

Mass Effect: Every Legendary Edition Squad Companion Ranked

New DVD releasecompanion, edition, effect, every, legendary, ranked, squad

Along with the promise that our decisions would have galaxy-wide consequences (which turned out to be…mostly true), one of Mass Effect‘s biggest selling points was the ability to command a ship and assemble a squad of companions that would join us on our journeys and help us fulfill our Star Trek dreams. While Shepard is the star of the Mass Effect trilogy, it’s hard to deny that some of the game’s most compelling characters are the ones who serve alongside him aboard the Normandy and stand by his side during the game’s most dangerous adventures. Many Mass Effect players know…

Mass Effect Romances: Legendary Edition’s Best and Worst Partners

New DVD releaseedition, effect, legendary, partners, romances, worst

The Mass Effect trilogy is a lot of things to a lot of people, but we completely understand if you see the release of Mass Effect Legendary Edition as an excuse to cruise across the galaxy looking for romance or, at the very least, the chance to hook up with an alien. Mass Effect wasn’t the first RPG with a romance system, and the first Mass Effect‘s romance options could most generously be described as limited, but the ways that the Mass Effect games compellingly use romance as both a character-building device and a fun diversion has long made them…

New Pokémon Snap: Mythical and Legendary Pokémon Locations

New DVD releaselegendary, locations, mythical, pokemon

Among the 200 Pokémon featured in New Pokémon Snap are 10 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that franchise fans will undoubtedly want to grab pictures of even if they don’t complete the rest of the game’s Pokédex. As you’ve probably guessed, though, New Pokémon Snap‘s Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are the most elusive in the game. In fact, some of these Pokémon are so hard to find that you could easily add hours to the sequel’s runtime just exploring the possibilities that eventually unlock them. If you’d rather avoid throwing Orbs at everything in the game in the hope of eventually…

Mass Effect Legendary Edition Changes Might Save the Original Game

New DVD releasechanges, edition, effect, legendary, might, original

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition will undoubtedly inherit the original franchise’s controversies (and start a few new ones of its own thanks to some fresh camera angles), but a series of changes recently revealed by BioWare suggest that the Legendary Edition may just become the best way to experience the divisive title that kicked this series off. 2007’s Mass Effect was touted as BioWare’s most ambitious game until that point, which was true in a lot of ways. Unfortunately, all that ambition resulted in a game that clearly wanted to be a more modernized version of BioWare’s best RPGs but often…

Outriders: How to Find and Farm Legendary Weapons and Armor

New DVD releasearmor, legendary, outriders, weapons

Outriders is a looter shooter (and a pretty good one at that), and as we’ve learned from looter games of the past, much of the fun comes from playing until you finally find one of the rarest possible drops. It’s a process that takes time, patience, skill, and a lot of luck. Alternatively, you could just farm a high-yield area until you get the Legendary item you want. Granted, it’s not the most sporting method, but considering that it’s been something of a tradition in this genre since its earliest days, we doubt anyone is going to be too disappointed…

The long-awaited Mass Effect Legendary Edition collection has found itself at the center of a rather strange controversy that has left some gamers claiming the classic RPGs have been censored. In an interview with Metro, BioWare project director Mac Walters addressed some of the ways that the team is using the Legendary Edition to fix certain aspects of the original Mass Effect games that haven’t aged well. Notably, he revealed that the team is especially interested in remedying some of the issues that left the original female avatar for Commander Shepard feeling like an afterthought. “So a male Shepherd animation…

BioWare and EA have shared more information about their inevitable (but still welcome) recent announcement that they intend to remaster the Mass Effect trilogy and re-release the whole thing as part of a new package called Mass Effect Legendary Edition. As revealed by Game Informer, this new edition of the game will not only feature all the single-player content seen in the original trilogy (including all promo items and content from over 40 DLC releases) but will enhance their visuals in what seem to be significant ways. As showcased in this comparison shot, the original Mass Effect will be the…

Legendary Painter Bob Ross Makes Flames, Death Relaxing with New Magic: The Gathering Cards

New DVD releasedeath, flames, legendary, magic, makes, painter, relaxing

The different colors in Magic: The Gathering represent different types of magic. Black mana, for example, is drawn from swamps, and is parasitic and destructive, leeching power from its victims before destroying them completely. Red mana, from mountains, is chaotic and explosive, dealing lots of direct damage to opponents. Wizards of the Coast would clearly want an artist to represent these themes in the art on the cards. Who better to represent the death and destruction of mountains and swamps than Bob Ross? Starting Cyber Monday (November 30th), Wizards of the Coast is releasing one of its periodic Secret Lair…

New DVD releasecraft, legendary, shadowlands, warcraft, world

Legendary items have been part of the World of Warcraft experience since the MMO’s vanilla days, but Shadowlands will drastically change how you acquire some of the most desirable gear in the game. Shadowlands introduces a crafted legendries system that allows players to forge legendary items. While that means that you will no longer be entirely reliant on luck to get the legendary item you want most, actually crafting a legendary item will demand a lot of work, a lot of time, and…well…a little luck. Here’s what you need to know about how to craft legendaries in Shadowlands. What Do…

Max Brooks’ Big Foot Novel to Be Adapted by Legendary Pictures

The last time Max Brooks’ “grounded” and hard-nosed fiction about a fantastic idea was turned into a movie, we got Brad Pitt versus a swarm of millions of CGI zombies in World War Z. One can only imagine what bringing Brooks’ next book, Devolution, to the big screen will mean. But Legendary Pictures is ready to find out. The news, which was announced via The Hollywood Reporter, revealed that despite being on bookshelves (or at least Amazon) for less than 24 hours, Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainer Sasquatch Massacre has already inked a deal to get the big…
