    Groupthink kills innovation and progress. It traps you into an ideology where, under all costs, that ideology must be fixed and preserved, never challenged, never changing, never evolving.

    Butt shots? Who cares holy fuck, even 10 years ago I thought it was out of place. If anything they should add back the gay romances from mass effect 2 that was cut last minute because bioware were cowards.

      Yeah, while I am mostly on board with the general mistrust of revisionism, those shots always felt really weird and pulled me out of the game - they made me imagine a gross nerd behind a keyboard giggling to himself while sporting a chubbie. It actually kinda cheapened the romantic plotlines you could explore in the game.

        If I remember correctly, the shot is during a scene where Miranda tells you about her abusive father, It was always fucking gross and even moreso in the context of the scene.

          Yeah, the story is something like "my father genetically engineered me to be more appealing to men so I'd have an easier time in life" and the camera is just on her ass.

      I found the new version: "Ath"

      A leaked report from the internals of the woke gestapo describes a chilling attack on words that are ableist to people with lisps. We must oppose the PC menace. I will now be pronouncing it 'Asss' as an act of resistance.

    Did they take out the gratuitious ass shots of ubermensch waifu girlfriend?

    To be fair, if they wanted to remaster it only they should have left everything in and only updated the graphics. Taking material out is not a remaster. That said, who gives a shit, porn exists and there is mass effect porn.

      I have an emotional attachment to Mass Effect 2. It came out at a low point in my life so me putting together that team and going on that suicide mission stands out when I look back. I remember the gratuitous shots of Miranda, they were nice at the time, but, you know, there is also the rest of the game to consider. They didn't add anything to the story, they were fanservice for thirsty guys (and some girls maybe)

      I can't fathom throwing a fit over this small change. This is just anger porn for those guys.

    Yes. Gamers want bewbs. And so what? Is being a sexual creature somehow shameful? If I were to alter brokeback mountain so as to avoid appealing to a gay aesthetic, is that just... OK?

    There's been, what, a billion Mass Effect Source Filmmaker porno vids since these games came out? I think they'll survive.

      Nah, only 13,712. I mean, I don't know how many. Yeah, a billion sounds right.

    I asked this before but again why the fuck are capital G Gamers like this.

    Why do they always throw on this huge fucken gravitas thing of like "It's part of a BROADER MOVEMENT to CENSOR AND REWRITE HISTORY" when game companies like... realize having the camera focusing entirely on Miranda's ass in every conversation with her is a bit fucken weird and so they're gonna scooch it up a touch to match every other conversation.

    OMFG it's EXACTLY like 1984 where they REWRITE HISTORY

    HISTORY IS BEING REWRITTEN

    I just love the how hard they're trying to mask that they won't be able to fap to HP vidya as easily. Not like the old game still exists as well as hours upon hours of footage.
