Sure, Halo 2’s graphics were getting rather stale, especially when half the character’s faces looked like bricks to the point I occasionally questioned if I was playing Halo or just really high watching the lego movie. That being said, Halo 2 was released 3 years before Mass Effect even began. It just feels like a very cheap move to release one game, then pretend it’s been long enough to remaster the trilogy before it.
