Mass Effect Legendary Edition New Features
All the games are packaged in one launcher. So you launch the game on Origin or Steam on PC. So if you want to start with Mass Effect 2 or 3 you can. And there is actually this cool cutscene they added to Mass Effect 2 and another one in Mass Effect 3 that sort of a comic recap of the events happened in the previous game.
A really Cool feature about Mass Effect Legendary Edition is that they have a unified character creator meaning the character creator is the same from game to game to game. Which means you can create the same visual appearance if you are trying to make your character again. You can of course import your save from game to game to game but if you want to make the same character for some reason.
If you are playing on Xbox One and you decided to get an Xbox Series S or X. Your save file will transfer to your Series X or S and you will be able to keep playing the game. However, if you are playing on PS4 and get a PS5, that would not transfer.
The last notable feature that comes with the game before we get into performance is that there are 40 DLCs ,promo armors and weapons added to this. So you will have a ton of DLCs added to this game. There is going to be extra content for you. It is not just the regular games in these editions. It’s like everything stuffed in there that you could possibly want. There is alot to this and the cost is 59.99. You are getting a lot in there for that price.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition Performance
Talking about performance, I want to start with Mass Effect 1 first. it looks the worst out of all three games. No surprise there, it is the oldest and needed the most quality of life , you can see if you look at the notes they added to mass effect 1. They spent far more time improving on quality of life improvements on ME 1. Trying to bring it up to par with Mass Effect 2 and 3.
While they did a good job and a lot of things were added, I don’t think they fully succeeded in this. First of all you are going to notice the graphics are worse. It is just a fact, they don’t look terrible and it is not the end of the world but as you play Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, you are going to see a huge difference in ME 1 ,ME 2 and ME 3 and that’s fine.
Final Thoughts
So far, I am really happy with Mass Effect Legendary Edition, it is 59.99 with all their DLCs and promo stuff effectively. Which is a great price even if you didn’t buy a remaster but you are getting a remastered version on top of that package so it is a really really good deal. These games will give you 50-70 hours of playtime and gameplay. That is a lot of value for your money especially compared to these other remaster games recently. It is just really really well done in my opinion.
If you are a fan of this series, you are going to love this game and if you are new to this franchise it is probably good enough Mass Effect 1 to get you through Mass Effect 2 and 3 with very little complaints.

ME3 masseffect3.wiki.fextralife.com/Mass+Effect+3+Wiki
This makes me sad everything EA touches dies...show we one company EA didn't ruin or deeply compromise
ME1 really is not that clunky, just takes some gettin used to... I played the 1st one 3 times!
BIG fan of the series!
random question: What's the outro music for this video?
Can't wait to get home and start playing this game _again_
Man I wish I could afford this game
CD project red should learn from this : ) to improve games : ) they dont make games like this any more and i wish they do and lean cuz most games now are just thrown to gether with fluffiness and story dont make sense lol
Do not skip mass effect 1 there’s no point. It’s a huge piece of the story in context and character. Yes it’s clunky but you’ll be fine.
Its like playing through the fade of dragon age origins.
No it sucks
ME1 is the best game in the series
@@brandon.mart00 Fuck the Fade
I wont firts time playing mass effect trilogy :)
"This is what bioware used to make" damn...that hit hard. Bioware, if you are reading, please come back!
To late for that sadly a lot of the ppl that made bioware well bioware pretty much have all moved on or jumped ship it’s mostly just all new blood now
BioWare studio is a history now.
It's dead Jim.
They're gone. Not surprising either, that it went downhill around the time when EA took over. ME3 immediately felt the consequences of that.
They are dead and they have been dead for a long time. Time to make your peace.
"They don't make this anymore"
They literally don't. 😭
That does not mean they will not in the future. :)
@@pajmic666 I don't think bioware will ever make them like this again, maybe the industry will shift towards these types of games once again but right now they are still prioritizing multiplayer, battle royal and free to play Mobile... devs are not allowed to make gems like og mass effect anymore.
@@jamiekeane471 Honestly depending how well the LE sells it could influence Bioware on the new ME game they are making. I think it is possible for them to make a game similar to this again.
@@MSUspartan101 It pains me to say it but ME trilogy is indeed a definite experience. Anything made with this license won't compare with Shepeard's journey.
It sucks but no the game industry just dosen't make games of this caliber very often anymore which really sucks because they could, I remember when I was younger it seemed like every other month someone was releasing an absolute masterpiece of a game, and now the best we can hope for are remakes of those masterpieces.
“‘if you can get through that first game..” I did, in 2007, 5 times on 360.
ahah only 4 times. i replayed the entire trilogy dozen of times over the last 10 years :O
oh yeah those were the good old days
i've only played the 1st one. it was amazing. for some reason i never got around to playing the sequels.
I mean, I had to make and effort to play through the sequel, because I didn't really liked the changes from 1 to 2. I understand that is an unpopular opinion tho.
I try to play through it every year or two. But damn am I excited to get through this. I know nothing changed about the ending, but ill enjoy every minute of it...mostly lol. This series is amazing
My favorite game trilogy of all time. Seriously my favorite story, characters, dialogues, armors, everything. I can’t wait to play this later today
Same. So stoked!
Same bro!
Same it's my goat rpg.
Same!
I'm one of those rare creatures who never played these games, I guess it's now or never!
You're in for a treat! We have tons of guides and wikis ready to help! fextralife.com/tag/mass-effect-legendary-edition/ & masseffect1.wiki.fextralife.com/Mass+Effect+1+Wiki (other two wikis also there but no point linking since you'll want to complete ME1 first!)
same here hyped
have fun!
I wish I could erase my memory and play this series again, it is the best time now because you don't have to wait 4 years between each game , the whole trilogy is there
I played all of Mass Effect for the first time last week, haven’t played 2 and played 3 long ago when I was given it for free from EA after the Sim City debacle. I don’t remember much about 3 so it will be nice going back into that one again. I remembered liking it.
Mass effect 2 is one of my all time favs, especially the side
Missions with your teammates , such quality writing and direction
I don't know.. it's a good game, no question there.. but to be honest the whole side missions felt kinda disconnected from the main story/threat. More like a good season of TNG with awesome indivdual episodes, but ME 3 felt way more coherent in the way that every side mission fed into the same objective (- the citadel party, depending when you play it).
ME 2 is the worst. Side missions were terrible in that game. Also, ME 1 was pure RPG game, RPG elements in ME 2 were destroyed. ME 2 was just thrid person shooter with some RPG elements.
And cause number 2 has Miranda lol. That’s my favourite thing about 2 lol.
@@swvi9459 It's not the worst but I do think it's overhyped
I thought the first game was the best, and after that the series took a wrong turn.
The part where you said it made you mad that Bioware just doesn't do this anymore made me pretty sad lol
And as clunky as Mass Effect 1 is, I love it. Might be my favorite story of the trilogy, just incredible world building.
totally. the terrorist comet scenario really throws you into how cool their sidequests can be. I played all 3 just s month ago and aside from the cover mechanics not really being worth using it's not really that different from the other games, just a bit less refined.
ME1 has the best lore and worldbuilding, 2 best character and 3 is just emotional abuse haha.
its not even clunky
i was playing it last night on xbox one after not playing it since 360 and it aged perfectly fine
I'm here to say..."assuming direct control"
SHIT
I'm here to say..."probing Uranus"
“Can it wait for a bit? I’m in the middle of some calibrations.”
I should go..
you guys are such bosh'tets
masterpiece then masterpiece now, this game is just incredible if you never played it YOU NEED TO BUY IT NOW. This is probably the last bioware great game you will ever see come out.....
I always wanted to give the games a shot but what always puts me off was that the gunplay looks so wonky. Is it actually or does it just look like it
@@Ass4ssin007 gun play in 1 is pretty shit, but 2 and 3 are really really good for gunplay.
@@Ass4ssin007 Honestly me1 is the worst, but if you stick the game on easy and just enjoy the characters and story its fine. Me2 is solid but has aged a bit, think gears of war with a bit of delay. Me3 is the smoothest of all the original trilogy, has most responsive combat and has proper melee and dodge mechanics.
Honestly though, you don't play mass effect for its gameplay. You play it for the cast of interesting characters, engaging storyline and lore. ME has been described as this generations star wars by some.
Ok Will do.
I played the original one and I think I'm going to buy the remastered! Want to enjoy the game with better graphic
Yeah, this was Bioware's crown jewel and is my favorite Sci-Fi series by a long shot.
I'm going to smoke the biggest joint in the world and turn the expanse on the screen on my left and mass effect on the right and yell at the council once more Javik get the airlock ready my friend
Not even close. KotOR, Jade Empire & Dragon Age Origins were Bioware at it's best. Mess Affect was the start of the downfall. The OG was good enough but 2 was too dumbed down & 3 was barely an RPG. Andromeda was an joke.
I’ll say Kotor gives ME1 a solid run for its money. Really depends on how into Star Wars you are
@@byronmacdowell3732 i'll Give you DAO because i freaking loved that game and it's more of an RPG than Mass Effect for sure, but i dont lump those two on the same category for the aforementioned reason. While KOTOR was awesome too, i liked KOTOR 2 way more. Still they don't compare to the Mass Effect trilogy....Andromeda was a travesty
Mass Effect 1 sets the foundation for the world and the story - and it's absolutely amazing! New guys to this, remember , you are not playing call of duty in space, you have played better shooters , with better controls etc, but you haven't experienced a story like this
I don't like call of duty and I mainly just play story driven single player games. Somehow I've never gotten near the Mass Effect games. Should I expect a slower paced narrative from the series or an action packed adventure more like Halo?
@@symptomaticseb2303 i don't like call of duty of Halo or any type of similar games myself. Mass Effect is first and foremost an RPG mixed with FPS. I think you should find the combat closer(but not similar) to Dead Space than in any FPS games. As for the narrative ,it takes a while to kick in(considering there is also room for exploration, side quests etc) but once you've experience the world builing and the story, there is no going back - it's like a interactive movie. Your gaming narrative and presentation standards will change forever :)
@@Dimvou83 Thanks for this reply. I like the Dead space combat so hopefully I won't mind mass effect either. I've heard a lot of good things about the characters and world building so looking forward to maybe getting it this black Friday. The only spoiler I know (If it counts as one) is that you can have sex with a blue alien woman. Hopefully that's nothing too major.
@@symptomaticseb2303 Even this is optional... I haven't done it, i chose another woman :) i really hope you enjoy it - and i think you wil l- :)
Not skipping ME1. My wife watched me playing ME3 when it came out, thought it looked fun and wanted to play. We played through the whole trilogy together. :)
Don’t sleep on me1, personally my favorite of the 3. It plays more like a rpg than the other 2.
It's great, but modern players may find the combat and such a bit weird and clunky
@@Fextralife any preview of scarlet nexus on the horizon? Game looks a lot more interesting than I thought.
We had technical problems with the latest hand-on so I couldn't make a video this week. But we're certainly covering it and will have tons of info ready for release :D - AND there's a demo coming at the end of this month!
@@Fextralife a demo!!? All platforms? That's a great surprise
Except by stripping out character class limitations and making everyone multiweapon proficient they are diminishing even a huge role-playing aspect - all buff, no demerits. It is one of Andromeda’s major sins. And That’s easily my biggest criticism of MELE
Best "game" (I consider all 3 as a single one) I have ever played. You are so emotionally invested in the characters, their relationships, the world they inhabit. It's insane, it's a benchmark for all other single player games. If you get goosebumps just by watching the intro scene, you know you have a masterpiece in your hands. Can't wait to play this again remastered.
Same here. Absolutely the best game in its genre. I have played all three parts at least three times and I still get teary eyed on Rannoch or Mordin's song on Tuchanka (in my opinion two of the best written plots in all media).
Personally I didn't even hate the ending, since (maybe from my experience as a writer) I am comfortable with the hero's self-sacrifice (I usually choose to meld living beings and machine entities) for a greater good.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition will be on my To Buy List very near the top (if not at the top). 60€ for 3 Games with a ton of DLC is even a bargain, if you have most of the content (minus the DLCs for 1 and 2) already in the original version.
0:35 Maaaaan, that redone main menu for Mass Effect 1 looks gorgeous!
I know others have said this already, but I am genuinely jealous of those who will be experiencing the trilogy for the first time with this. Please, try to go in blind. You're in for one hell of a ride.
I'l play this first time ever, I have no idea what to expect :)
@@georgereiss5494 You're in for a such a treat, wish I could set my clock back and replay it all for the first time.
Technically this’ll be my first/second time since I played only 1-2 when they came out and honestly forgot about them since I was so young you think it’s still good now despite maybe being dated mechanically
I have actually never played these games before so I’m really looking forward to it!
I nearly cried when I got to eden prime on mass effect 1 and saw the huge improvement to the look and feel from the original release of it. It's beautiful. 100% recommended.
Time to do the same paragon tali run I’ve done the past 40 play throughs since I can’t force myself to do anything else
Same here my friend, same here. Talimancers ftw!
I’m a renegade/Garrus man myself.
i never managed to play all 3 parts till now, but i always wanted to romance tali...i dont know, but she is so interesting to me...also her race and the history. im quite excited^^
@@cptnhero6116 You are in for a treat, my friend! In my opinion she is the best girl, but others like Liara better. You will see what I mean when you play for yourself. The trilogy is my favorite series of all time aside from The Legend of Zelda.
Renengade Femshep with Liara for the Billionth time in a row here I come
As a OCD completionist I could never skip ME1 and jump right to ME2! If memory is right the choices in ME1 can be felt through the whole series, where as the choices in the later games have a more personal effect on the story of the characters but not really effecting the main plot.
I guess that depends on what you mean by "main plot". None of your choices really affect the ultimate ending if you have enough galaxy readiness points (which is why a lot of people complain about the ending). But you can still screw things up big time in ME2, enough to lose an entire race in ME3, for example. I'd say that affects the main plot. Also, there's the whole genophage arc and the MUCH better results you get in ME3's missions if you play ME2 and... get the best ending, not to spoil anyyhing.
I finally have to chance to play this legendary trilogy for the first time.
You're in for an amazing treat! We have lots of guides coming to youtube but you can get started early with written versions: fextralife.com/tag/mass-effect-legendary-edition/ & masseffect1.wiki.fextralife.com/Mass+Effect+1+Wiki
Man I wish I were you
Me too, I tried 1 a little while back, but the jank and driving turned me off completely. Can’t wait to not have to deal with that BS and experience this legendary trilogy.
Stop talking and go do it! You won’t regret it, just know to get the feeling we have you won’t experience that in the first 2 to 6 hours it’s the entire experience, relationships and so on.
It’s still the best game trilogy ever.
By half way through 2 is when you’re gonna be like holy f**k this is really good.
Also, the female Commander Shepherd is a much more enjoyable experience personally. More so you’re gonna spend so much time and she’s more interesting for some reason.
You’re in for a ride. This is one of the best trilogy ever made.
‘I’m commander shepherd and this is my favorite channel on the citadel.’
“Anyone else miss those conversations we used to have in the elevators on the citadel?”
“No”
“C’mon, remember? You used to tell us about life on the flotilla?”
“I know at least 3 different poisons that are deadly to Turians, Vakaraon.. don’t make me use them...”
“Hmm... maybe we’ll talk later...”
“Just completely”
*watches alien stripper*
“forgot”
*watches alien stripper*
“what I was doing”
*watches alien stripper*
I was a regular at that bar.
*leans forward*
Replaying the Mass Effect trilogy is at least an annual event for me at this point Never, ever gets old, even when I know exactly what happens whatever way I play through it. Still gives me chills and makes me sad when it's over. This remaster will be awesome, if only to airbrush some of the ME1 'jank'.
Took the week of work to play this, might need to set an alarm to remind me to eat and sleep!
Awesome! We got you covered with guides! fextralife.com/tag/mass-effect-legendary-edition/ & masseffect1.wiki.fextralife.com/Mass+Effect+1+Wiki to get you started ;)
You know.. for any other game I'd make a sly comment about that being a waste of a vacation. But we're talking Mass Effect here, I see why you would.
The original trilogy got me through a really tough time in my life. I cannot wait for this game to drop. What I'd give to forget it all to replay it again!
I’ve never played a Mass Effect game before, so I’m pretty excited for this
You're in for a HUGE treat! We got guides to get you going too! (coming to youtube soon but written first) fextralife.com/tag/mass-effect-legendary-edition/ & masseffect1.wiki.fextralife.com/Mass+Effect+1+Wiki
I envy you. I wish I could wipe my memory and experience it for the first time all over again like I did freshman year of college. This series is truly a masterpiece, my favorite of all time by a long shot. I've beaten the first game 22 times and I'm still excited to go back tomorrow.
Dude I envy you the fact that you get to experience this game remastered for the first time
Dude brace yourself, cause that ride gonna be a real rollercoaster of emotions. Games like this don't exist anymore.
Oh man, I'm stoked for you! Truly! Enjoy one of the best trilogy's in gaming!
Might be an odd man out but I love all of the Mass Effects.
I do too. Every single one had their specific charms.
MEA was bad. beyond all the technical issues, the writing was way off. They did the same thing with DAI. What Bioware needs now are good story, good script and good characters. Poorly written characters make shitty games. U can't compare Reservoir Dogs with some random shit from Michael Bay right ? Even ME1 was better than MEA and i don't like ME1 that much
same
and I had a really great summer playing MEA every day
I just want to play the 1st game with the updated visuals and quality of life improvements. Having 2 and 3 on there is just icing on the cake. Plus, that cover art is so beautiful. I need a poster of that.
I played a little of Mass Effect 1 back in the day, so I've never played the series before. Super stoked for this!
It's so good!
Very good review as usual! I'd bite but at my age (73) I don't have the reflexes any more to play RT shooters, though this one certainly looks like something I'd have enjoyed at one time. As a TBS strategy player from the late 80's I've ignored shooters since I stopped playing the original Doom soon after it first came out. Coordination was never one of my strong points so I moved on, never even getting into RTS much, again due to the clickfest factor. Recently I've discovered turn based fantasy and sci-fi TBS RPG's and the RPG world has a lot going for it, I"ll say that. This one is intriguing, but I'm not eager to drop $60 into a game I probably will find I cannot do well in at this stage of life. So my message to you young pups out there is - dive into these while you still can!
Hey there. I noticed that no one had replied to your comment and I just wanted to point out to you that Mass Effect does have multiple difficulty settings. The easiest of these options is intended to give you the narrative experience without having to suffer through combat that is too difficult and makes the game highly playable for inexperienced players. There is no shame in playing the game the way you choose to play and, if you're finding that you have an interest in this trilogy of games, I'd highly recommend playing them. The story is a memorable journey, so much so that I envy anyone who has the opportunity to play through it for the first time. There is a reason this series has touched so many players. Its just too good to miss in my opinion. Do some research into the difficulty options and you may just find it worth giving a shot.
Just like buddy said. These games do have updated difficulty settings to where you can enjoy more of the story than action. Legendary Edition was my first play through and I encourage besides build videos don’t look up anything else or type anything else as it cheapened my first time experience and it was still an INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE to the point that I’m trying to find books and movies that fit
Honestly I still play games for the narrative factor and I'm half your age. I dont have a ton of time to play so easy mode to enjoy the story/exploration is how I usually play.
My favorite video game of all time.
The Suicide Mission from 2 is THE most intense mission I’ve ever played in a video game!!!! You feel for your crew and the stakes were real! Managed to keep my crew alive on the first try but damn it was not easy!
Props for putting Samara on the thumbnail! I feel like I never see anyone mention her.
Also, nice to see they kept the comic-style recaps! Those aren’t something new, those actually existed for cases like how ME1 wasn’t originally available on PS3 so we had to use that to make some of the major choices from that game to import into ME2.
Best series ever. Play them. Playing on ps5 and it runs smooth as butter. 60 fps at 4k. Replaying these games at 4k and 60 fps is a game changer. Looking beautiful so far. About 20 hours in started at the beginning. Mass Effect 1 looks way better than it used to. The game looks amazing. The lighting and ray tracing and everything is amazing. Best series ever. Facts.
Next - Dragon Age: Origins/Awakening and Dragon Age 2 Remasters
Only 59.99!
@@moonshiry if i had a good polished dragon age orgins remastered i would pay 60.00 no prob
its my favourite series of all time, but i have all 3 games and have absolutely played them to death, there really is nothing new for me here, great deal for someone who never played it though
So glad to hear it! Can’t wait to jump in!
nice to see a review from someone who played it on the PC. glad to hear it is well optimized, that was my only concern. I hope its well optimized for ryzen CPUs and radeon graphics cards as well.
Quickly becoming on my favorite RUclipsrs
There aren't many games like ME which make you feel like you have really lived in this world, that you understand it and sympathize with the stories of the characters.
Great impressions/review as always, Fextra team! Lovin watching Cas play live.
Glad you are enjoying the streams! We certainly are as well!
Thanks for the video.
In the beginning you launch out of origin or steam....
Does this mean if I buy it on steam, I don't have to have the origin launcher installed?
Painful or not, I'm gonna start chronologically and live through it all again.
Believe it or not, I purchased what I think is the trilogy on the PS3. It was a book-like case that has about three-four disc of all three games. It has to be a rerelease. I have yet to play it, but I did open the box to install/Update and download the free dlc; I think it was the ending or something.
I saw Spirited Away recently for the first time. Cool avatar.
ME1 to this day is my favorite MS game.
Same.
agreed beat it 3 times. Second one was great, the 3rd was my least favorite.
What does MS stand for?
Putting your conclusion in the thumbnail. Bold sir....bold! I like it
I mean it isn't like it was a surprise, this is one of the great ones and I'm happy to see another generation get to experience it.
Pre-loaded the game, and can't wait to play later tonight. My first experience was with ME1 back in 2009 and I was blown away. The ending to the second game is by far one of the best ending experiences of any game every made. Change my mind.
One thing that is great about Mass Effect is how the societal structure of it reflects loosely some ideals presented in The Republic by Plato, in particular the class structure of the in game societal system and how people seem to be (from a cursory glance) born to do specific roles. There is limited mobility based on one's own strengths, however generally speaking where you're born you stay, as such it leads to a very stable society, one that is not without faults. Yet ultimately is capable of such feats as say driving back the reapers and having a multi-species society without much disturbing the overall fabric of the system as a whole.
Yes this is a video game I get it, as such the society is not organic, yet it's a nice depiction of what a working system could accomplish when done with a reasonable amount of competency. My only gripe with it overall is the lack of a central authority figure. As the whole idea of Plato's republic is that of the Philosopher King being the ideal ruler, and I see such not represented at all here.
The council is the central authority figure, the holy trinity of Turians, Asari and Salarians worked for centuries before Humans appeared. Other races want a seat on the council and others have no desire at all. A lot of the lore codex we read has been translated for a humans eyes to read so bringing our own bias into the galactic community is an inherently human thing to do which Mass Effect was so great at showing. The idea of a philosopher king and/or god emperors is a human social construct really. The Asari might view Plato's teachings as poultry compared to their philosophies that are millennia older, as well as Asari live up to 1000 years so would be much more wiser than humans.
Wow man. Never played the ME series. Appreciate the disclaimer abt the first game. You got me really hyped for my playthrough
You're in for a treat! It's a fantastic game. We have a ton of guides coming to youtube but they are already written if you wanna get ahead fextralife.com/tag/mass-effect-legendary-edition/ & masseffect1.wiki.fextralife.com/Mass+Effect+1+Wiki
God i love this channel. wiki is life 💘
People's opinion may differ of course, but while ME2 might be the best game of all time, it can feel a bit hollow without playing ME1 first.
@@andrewshandle i figured as much. As iconic and beloved as this series is, I want to experience it in its entirety even if me1 is a little dated.
@@SomeUnkindledAsh I remember going back and playing ME1 when ME3 came out and totally forgot all the unnecessary inventory management you needed to do in ME1 as well, you are constantly selling 90% of the items you pickup on away missions/quests because you pick up so much garbage too.
ME1 definitely had some problem, but the story is good and the characters are fun so it's tolerable. :)
Does the Legendary Mode(XP scaling) affect the amount of talent points you get? Do I get less TP if I do 1-30 opposed to 1-60? Do you still get the lvl 50/60 bonuses in ME2 if you hit a threshold in ME1(lvl 25/30?) I'd probably stick with 1-60 if I get more talent points.
Could you please add notes as to your system build for PC and what resolution you were playing on and settings? That info is super helpful for people trying too figure out performance.
I ran out of space on the description because I put the transcript. I was playing on a Corsair One Pro, max settings but not 4k because no 4k monitor
Never played the Mass Effect games, but you sold me. I’m definitely gonna have to get it now
You are in for a ride of your life.
Never finished the third one so ima start by finishing that one.
I got so excited when I first heard that announcement I mostly remember playing the base games without DLC at that time but now I can fully play them all to the fullest
Just played through all 3 games back in April to get ready for this, cannot wait. I love this series so much.
This is my favorite game series of all time. I've probably put over 1000 hours into them. I'm so excited for those who get to experience this for the first time
Bruh... I just got the goosebumps by the back ground music of ME2 xD
Enjoyed your review, You nailed it about being sucked into a game, or lack of that in most recent games.
It’s crazy, I love action RPGs I’m 35 years old and I’ve never played this series. Needless to say I’m completely stoked to get a chance to partake in this experience.
Wtf, seeing the Normandy made me tear up?
I'm not ready for tomorrow.
I always tear up at the end of citadel dlc, where Shepard and crew are standing on the citadel with the Normandy in the background, "The best" gets me every.damn.time.
@@Supadrumma441 That is part of what makes these games so amazing. You build an emotional connection to the world and the characters. Not many games have that same impact.
don't u mean 12 tonight? 😌🤔
@@thewokeagenda Getting the physical copy. I have to wait until noon. Ugh
@@DaggerX5 😩😩 hope ur the first to get it then 😤😤🤣
This will be my first time playing mass affect.
Edit just bought it, gonna start this weekend!
You're in for a hell of a wonderful ride.. enjoy!
I envy you so much, wish I could go back and experience these for the first time. Enjoy!
Same
You guys are gonna cry after the end of theese games cause no one will make games like these...120 hrs of pure awesome.
I wish I would have it experience it for the first time as you do :)) enjoy it :) whole 3 games with dlc feels like big movie scren in theaters... some missions and cutscenes are better than half of holywood movies you will see :)
I've recently played ME1 and 2 and was blown away by both and I wanted to play 3 before the legendary edition came out, now i don't know if I should just jump straight to the legendary edition or finish the original trilogy.
I only got to watch the OG mass effect get played way back in the day, so now I might actually get it and try it out since you've shown it. Thanks, y'all
fuck man. imagine being new to the series. sooo jealous of those who get to experience this for the first time
Bought the LE for my first experience besides the demos of ME2/3 on the 360. I’ve never been immersed and engaged in any form of fiction before. My only regret was having my phone that spoil even the littlest thing in the series. Such an epic story
We've finally made it people!!!
I just started Legendary. Can I go some where to grind and level up? Are the enemies only in quests? Do they respawn any where?
My favorite game of all times. Played ME1 at least 5 times. And of course ME2 and ME3. Even liked ME Andromeda. Can’t wait to play it again. Have downloaded it but have to wait another day. Thank you for this impression.
Iv only played the 3rd one witch I loved soo gunna have a blast playing the other 2 :)
Part of me is extremely happy that I never played these, being able to jump in here just seems like the best way to experience them. Can NOT wait to dive into this for 1,490,657 hours.
You're in for a treat! One of the best game series to date
Bioware was so promising, back when these games were launching especially ME1 we were all so blown away, I remember thinking to myself, "I can't believe this is possible" while playing, we need Bioware to come back to this type of heart and soul when making future games
Can I use the Aria T’Loak outfit for both the regular and DLC Mission for Female Shepard or only through mods again?
Pre load complete. This is going to be my first ride. See you on the other side !
Enjoy & savour every moment of these amazing games. I can't wait to play through all 3 back to back they are the best trilogy of games ever made.
What a treat. You're going to enjoy the hell of it. I've played these games 2-3 times each, and I'm still excited to go back after all of these years.
Like all the other comments say. Fucking Savour it fam, I still haven’t had another experience like this in all of my 29 year life
Any info on ultrawide support?
This is my no.1 hold up - I asked CAS on stream and He didn't know
Gotta wait for everyone to buy it I guess 😀
Does the use orgin to launch still if you buy it on steam or something?
I think knowing the graphics and gameplay get better with each game in order gives me motivation to keep going. As I'm going through the first game, I forgot how immersive this galaxy is. Its quite stunning.
I've always thought of the gameplay improvements as Shepard becoming a better soldier with experience!
Mass Effect 1 story was incredible. I never played any of the others.
Mass effect 1 was incredible, but if you liked that one you have to play mass effect 2. Easily one of the best games ever made.
Yeah it's sad that bioware has gone so downhill since then. But I cant wait to play again it looks amazing
Are the gameplay improvements significant? I'm currently halfway through playing Mass Effect 1 on Xbox with my wife, and we plan on playing through all three eventually. However, if the improvements are mainly the graphics with some minor gameplay tweeks, I don't know if that's worth having to start over for. Imo the original graphics look fine to me and I doubt we'll have the time to play through the dlc.
when does it release on origin? is it going to make me wait until noon tomorrow? I booked a ten day vacation starting tonight because i assumed it would be available at midnight!
Mass Effect 1 has always been my favorite Mass Effect so I, like many people who favor this game have pretty much mastered the clunkyness. Haha
I'm honestly pretty excited for this. It's been so many years since good games like these have come out. Nothing has really compared to them, not even Bioware's current efforts. It's going to be fun to go back and just play some of the best games of these generations. ME3 ending was a let down, but to be honest, i'm pretty excited to go through the entire series.
It hasn’t been that long amazing games come out all the time games that are far and away better than the ME trilogy
@@carter171721 Not in this style though.
@@carter171721 hope ur not talking about all the F2P trash that we get now a days ?
@@1970cgb Why would I be? DQ11, RDR2, Miles Morales, Persona 5, Horizon Zero Dawn, FF7 Remake, God of War, Jedi Fallen Order? I don’t need f2p games al of them are better than the ME Trilogy it didn’t age well it’s the same thing as KOTOR objectively speaking ME1 is a horrible game with a good story ME3 is the opposite the only one I found was a good balance of the two was the 2nd one
The last generation of consoles was probably the best ever tbh the only other console that comes to mind is the N64 you’re comparing brand new games to old games stuck on hardware that restricted so much of the games potential it’s not fair comparing the two
@@Katie-hb8iq What do you mean? Third person shooters or western rpgs? Because there’s been tons of both that are really good
Wait, does the sprint actually work in ME 1 now? It originally was the same speed as your normal run, it just gave you speed lines to make it seem faster.
finally dude. not a single gameplay video online until today. was starting to think the game was gonna be broken
It plays great. We're live now on twitch if you wanna see more! twitch.tv/fextralife
Time to dust off my Claymore and go Insanity Vanguard again.
Im hitting my insanity Infiltrator once more I haven't been this happy in quite some time!
Censorship = no buy. That’s not what Mass Effect is about!
Super stoked for the people that will be playing this trilogy for the 1st time. You are all in for a treat & once it sinks it's hooks into ya you won't be able to put it down for at least a while lol. I wish i was one of them getting to experience it for the very 1st time all over again.
I'll never forget the mass effect ads in game magazines with the distress signals. Pure gold.
My body is ready.
My work life balance is not
But who really needs sleep, anyway?
For me, it's only 50% worth it. 😉
I beat the original five times, I think I'm done with Mass Effect lol.
Did they fix the clunky inventory of the 1st game? The scrolling through duplicates and triplicates of items and not being able to sort or delete multiples was tedious as hell. Also, did they improve the controls of the Mako in the 1st game?
5:51 that’s a neat detail, in me1 turian’s ...mandibles? Didn’t move. But in later games they did to emphasize emotion and whatnot so it’s cool they added that
The most important thing tho: IS IT MODDABLE?
Indeed. I need my Tali romance mod since they probably still won't do Tali justice...
@@tyrayentali7041 The thing I am gonna look for are ENBs, proper reskins, dialogue dependency changes, and most importantly: ANY QoL mods that would pop up... ehm, original camera angles, no SJW BS... If there is not gonna be modding support, then this "remaster" is totally worthless ...
You can create a better-looking game with Enb and retextures already (Even better than the RM) and the ton of QoL and content add-ons - totally beats any small changes they made and things they removed in RM...
I 100% dont agree, it isnt worth it. Graphics are the same, fan service is removed, multiplayer is removed.
Its just a worse version then the original. If you have the originals and all the DLCs, dont waste money on this.
Those comic intro things for 2 and 3 were actually free dlc you could get for them. I remember playing them when I bought them again a while back
I played 1, 2, and maybe like half of 3. I’m excited to finally go back and do it all
I hate this game, it makes me so attached to my crew that i almost share a tear when the trilogy ends, but now there's the "4" on the horizon, let's cross our fingers 😎
#5* 😂
It'll most likely be a sequel to Andromeda since the ending was open
Don't be sad its over, be happy it happened. The Trilogy is top tier y'all.
How many different color endings are available for ME3 in this version?
Does Mass Effect 2 still start you at level 5 with credits and resources rewards for getting to max level in mass Effect 1?
