I used Pinnacle apartment as money sink. If you 100% everything you end up with more money that is possible to carry. ESPECIALLY if it's a new game+ that you needed for level 60 achievement. Later I just console coded unique armors and guns myself but still used the shops to get things like glowing geth armor for Wrex. Everyone wearing Colossus is just boring after a few runs.

@Kragith 3 года назад

@@KasumiRINA Interesting, is new game plus needed for 60? On a hardcore playthrough right now and i made it to 50 during virmire. (havent went past that point yet). Seems feasable to hit 60 between then and the end. (The trick is to always score killing blows during mako sections outside of the mako, massivly increases the xp you get per kill).

@ThaDudu 3 года назад

@@Kragith You've probably already found out, but the gap from reaching level 50 to reaching level 60 is huge. Not using any exploits, just chasing as much XP as you can, you will finish ME1 at level 58, *provided* you have finished the game a least once already, as the last 10 levels only unlock after that. That means going to every planet, taking on everything on foot (including Thresher Maws) and playing as optimally as you can. Having the achievements that boost XP gain will be a huge boon as well.

I thought they knew Pinnacle Station was lost way back when they released Mass Effect 1 on PS3 back in 2012, as it wasn't included in that release either, just Bring Down the Sky.

Great video. Only one correction. The DLC files being corrupt wasn't found out while they were working on the LE, it was when they were porting both ME1 and ME2 from Xbox to PC and PS in the trilogy package that it was found out. That was back in like 2013-2014, quite a while back. Still, small detail to a overall great video.

What I used to, was to sell everything to Dr. Chole on the citadel after I got her huge discount. Then used the transporter and bought it all back from Expat. I kept on doing it until I had infinite credits, went to the retirement home, used all the credits on the most expensive items. when credits were low I went back to citadel and did it all over again. I got so much credit and so much good gear that even my whole squad was suited and equipped with the best of the best you could get. I had so much fun doing it, so hearing that Pinnacle Station wont be in Mass Effect Legendary Edition, kinda makes me sad. Either way I really look forward to get the nostalgia from mass effect as a whole. Nice and informative videos Big Dan

You can get Rank X Specter Gear by save scumming, but that is hardly something to write home about. Of all the DLC to lose to Bit Rot, this was the best case scenario.

It gives you a pretty cool gun that lasts for the rest of the game. Also it's free XP! Pretty useful. I was really disappointed though, that Shepard's home is never later mentioned in the trillogy. :(

I'm not even surprised that this dlc didn't make it into Legendary. They found out about the corrupt source codes when porting the game to PS3 and have had years to rebuild it but decided not to do so for the PS3 version so of course, they weren't gonna bother for the remaster.

LOL! I noted that you talked about this studio in Boston that worked on this, yes, LOL again, I can make the distinction with Cambridge! And you said "Massholes"! While I've lived in the mountains of northern GA since 2005 now, I am a native New Englander. I still have family in MA, NH, and VT! I grew up mainly in Mass. on the south shore. Are you from there? Anyway, funny to hear that expression, it's been a while. And a great video, here, as usual. And I totally agree. This was a fun DLC maybe a couple times through, but then...eh. I'll miss it just a little, but I'll always have the original game, so, I can still have at it if I get the hankerin'.

@robertashley2714 3 года назад

Meh, I won't miss it. Pinnacle Station focused on ME's weakest aspect: combat. It was also very grindy. I never finished it once. The time spent vs. reward calculation just wasn't there for me. It is somewhat sad and ironic that the Legendary Edition updates are fixing the combat and would make Pinnacle Station somewhat less of a chore to play. But Pinnacle Station did not contribute anything to the story or the ME universe. I can't really say that Legendary Edition will be poorer without it.

I liked Pinnicle Station just for the numerous enemies. They all counted toward weapon mastery achievements so I was able to make some interesting secondary characters.

@beefjerky007 3 года назад

I finally played Pinnacle Station for the first time about a year ago (it was my first PC playthrough, I only played on PS3 before that). Aaaaaand I wasn’t a huge fan of it. The only good part was Shepard’s apartment with the high-tier armor and weapons you could buy.

@williamst.romain7393 3 года назад

Actually, you can "buy" from Ahern's apartment as much as you like. The gear is randomized, but it is the easiest way to get the colossus armor for Tali. It also allows you to get cheap spectre X if you're willing to but a lot of other stuff with it. Also, the best amp is an easy get too. You don't have to wait to go to Pinnacle Station. You can go there as soon as you leave the Citadel. It allows you to redo the simulations an infinite number of times. As they say, practice makes perfect. Though you won't beat Ahern's simulation until 50th level minimum.

@jackmcgowan5848 3 года назад

@RedCrusader-ph2vk 3 года назад

I never touched Pinnacle Station until my most recent run through the trilogy (late 2020). Even then, I didn't play it until I was a high level with some of the best gear in the game. I beat every challenge relatively easily, probably because the DLC is balanced for early game. The easiest game mode by far was survival. I played the game on hardcore and was able to survive for over half an hour by spamming my squad's abilities. Eventually I got bored because the enemies turned into bullet sponges and decided to see how long it would take for them to kill me if I just stood there and did nothing. It took them over 15 minutes.
