      P.s I will say, Mass Effect 3 also had the weakest squad of the trilogy as well, but the gameplay and story beats were still top tier for the most part.

      There are so many I would want to experience again. Kotor 1 and 2, Halo trilogy are just a few. But 100% Mass Effect takes first place for a series I want to experience for the first time all over again. Specifically ME2 because its my all time favourite. I remember being a teen and playing through Overlord DLC for the first time. That ending not to spoil anything was not what I was expecting. Just so many things that 2 did made me love the world of ME.

    Till this day the Mass Effect trilogy has a huge part in gaming history for me, it's the ONLY game that made me regret certain decisions and actions. Actually putting down the controller and think which choice i would make, or what's right or wrong . The NPC were so real and the world reacted to everything you did. You don't find that in games anymore. I think it's worth a play and I'll probably start one .

    Mass Effect and The Expanse are my favorite universes in all of entertainment. Currently I am finally finishing even Andromeda, took me over 7 years to find some enjoyment in this game.

Could be huge.

Also you got no closure, all that was shown was the Normandy crash landing on some planet and the mass relays appeared to be destroyed. Also the companions you took on the mission disappeared during the run to the beam you didn't see them again.
      It was *bad* and the massive backlash was warranted unlike what some people who came in later experiencing the better ending and completely ignorant of what happened insist.

    I always played my Shepard as a basic human soldier. He may not be as powerful as a biotic, as strong as a krogan, or as smart as a Salarian, but he’s the moral core of the team, who they all look to for inspiration and guidance. Kind of the Captain America of the crew.

    Funny I'm seeing this now. Just started the series a few days ago and am already loving the first entry. This was a series I managed to miss out on during the 360 days and have had on my list for awhile. But I can't wait to see what the rest of the series has in store.

    I just want to say Mass Effect sticks with me because in 2007 through 2012 I got to see the story continue from the first to the third game. It was such a cool experience. Even better at the same time Assassins Creed was doing the same thing, telling a story from AC1 to 3.
    I admit I liked Andromeda too, but for a different reason than the trilogy. I found Andromeda really funny. Like my character should not be saving the galaxy. Almost felt like B Movie Mass Effect and I came away enjoying it.

  • @TheCyber_Knight

    There is another RPG series that I would put up there with the Mass Effect trilogy in my opinion and it's one I don't think a lot of people have played or know about. Because it's and older RPG series that was exclusively on the PC and is available on Steam. That series is the Quest for Glory series! Because much like Mass Effect you stick with the character you create in the first game and the character imports over thorough out the all 5 GAMES in the Series along with the choices that you made throughout the games and you REALLY get invested in him and in seeing him grow as a character and wanting his story to end great and it can if you play the final game right. The Quest for Glory Collection is one of the most unique RPG series of all time in my opinion and each entry in the QFG series has its own unique tone to it and the overall story grows along with your character. If you are a fan of the Mass Effect trilogy or RPGs in general then I highly recommend The Quest for Glory Collection which you can find on steam! Thank you so much for doing a retrospective on Mass Effect! I really love this channel!

    Love this series. My experience on Virmire is one of my most memorable experiences in gaming. I hated Ash but liked Kaiden. I tried negotiating with Wrex but Ash killed him before I could talk him down. When I had to make “the choice”, I chose Ash because she was a woman - women and children first, and all that - and that choice impacted me throughout the rest of the series. And it wasn’t until ME3 that I realised Wrex could be saved - I played the entirety of ME2 and didn’t realise! This made my own playthrough special and unique, and a testament to its incredible design

  • @WikkeSchrandt

    Mass Effect's buildup is fucking legendary. You start by doing some important, but relatively small-scale stuff. You find out little bits of foreshadowing throughout the entire game, then up the stakes with the second game. Then you play Arrival, and Jesus fucking Christ. You just know it's going to go down. Then the third game starts, and I can honestly say I've never played a game that felt _that_ grand, and _that_ massive. I think it has to do with how personal the game's stories are. But either way, man does this trilogy nail "epic".

      I would say that taking into consideration the ME:LE is often on sale (on pc as well as consoles) it is a low risk to spent 8 to 10$ for the trilogy. I would even argue it is a way much safer bet than buying a new release for 60/70$.

    Mass Effect 1 feels like a game of its time but also just is super important for establishing a beginning in the series. It really doesn't take too long to do a playthrough and you can get a good understanding of most everything Bioware at the time was trying to establish as the beginning of a series and it doesn't overstay its welcome. Obviously Mass Effect 2 is the stand out of the entire series but I really do believe everyone should experience it as the trilogy it is.

    Amazing value today. Holds up well (gameplay-wise too past the first game).

    I tell this story frequently, but I built my first PC many moons ago and blew my entire budget on the build. So I was looking for single player games to pirate and some article said Mass Effect was good. Knew nothing about it. Pirated it, got to Noveria and was so ridiculously hooked that I scrounged up the money to buy it. Didnt have to buy it, just wanted to support the devs because I loved it so much.
    Well over a decade later and I still play the series multiple times a year.
    Also, the multiplayer is still alive and well. I play it almost every day and rarely can't find a game (on xbox). You have to download the original ME3 and fight through some technical setup issues, but it's worth it.
