@RogerRoger That's unfortunate, since HDR scenes on an OLED display are a significant step up from even the best LCD/LED screens. Blacks are true blacks, since the pixels turn off completely. And hence bright colors pop out due to the infinite contrast.
Do you have an phone with an OLED display? All top-of-the-line iPhone and Android phones made in the past couple of years use OLED displays. If you watch a Netflix video with HDR (also called Dolby Vision on Netflix) and see the difference in quality, we can rest assured knowing your eyes aren't the problem.
@RogerRoger Did you test the HDR on an OLED TV? On mine, HDR looks the furthest thing away from "washed out". Deep blacks, beautifully contrasted against colors that pop out.
@MemSec I agree that the Sephiroth creepy scenes were a bit overused. I really enjoyed the gameplay though, which was more deliberately paced and less chaotic than FF15's real time combat. And I play games for gameplay first and story second, so it's all good.
@MemSec I'm glad they "butchered" the original story. l don't want a rehash of FF7 classic. We all know how that goes, and how it ends, so the more the story diverges from that, the better, as far as I'm concerned.
@ThaBEN Good points. I tend to play games for the gameplay first and story second, and I wasn't expecting player choices to have massive consequences in any of the Mass Effect games, so that might be why I wasn't so disappointed. Those games don't do that very well and I don't think anyone starting them now should expect that. They can however expect a great space opera though with a very nicely fleshed out world, and some level of choice and consequence.
@BranJ0 If someone were to go on a long, wonderful vacation in the Maldives, idyllic sandy beaches, crystal clear water, and on the last day they stepped on a pile of cow dung, nobody in their right mind would say "This whole vacation sucks, I'm NEVER going to recommend this place to anybody!"
This is the only game I've imported from Japan. It took me over 200 hours to work my way from start to finish using my upper intermediate-ish Japanese skills, but I definitely picked up lot of new words along the way! Looking forward to another 200+ hours of ペルソナ５ ザ・ロイヤル.

Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Is Quite the Upgrade in Shepard Comparison Shots
@MemSec To me that's what a remake is: making something again from the ground up. Otherwise it would be an enhancement.

@MemSec FF7 remake didn't really have an ending though, did it? It was one huge cliffhanger.

I don't understand this kind of erratic thinking.
