      This video should not be watched by new players, it gives away clues and experiences that should be fresh for new players, not a repeat from what they saw here.
      You should put "SPOILERS" in the title.
      And for a veteran player like myself, I'm not buying the Legendary version.
      I paid €50 for ME1, €60 for ME2, €70 for ME3 (some collectors edition), that makes €180 in total for the games and about another €100 for all DLC.
      Now you want me to spend another €60 for a game that I can nearly write down all the narrative, 1 second before it is spoken. I can dream the events across all 3 games. So no, Legendary is not for me.
      It is all 3 Mass Effect games from the Trilogy in one package with all DLC included, which is a very good deal : For NEW players.

      @@rob.a3340 Mass Effect fans, suck in all that is Mass Effect.
      As opposed to incidental players, when we are confronted with a large block of text, we sit up and read it all.
      The incidental player goes like 'Nooooo I want action .. SKIP ..
      And then you play through all 3 games as fast as possible.
      After finishing the Trilogy, the fan starts a new game in ME1, with a different class and plays through all 3 games again.
      My very first play through was with the Soldier class.
      The second, third, fourth and fifth as Vanguard, switching around between Female and Male Shepard, exploring different romances.
      Charge followed up by Nova followed up by Melee, is a very exhilarating play style in Mass Effect 3.

    Mass Effect is amazing!
    It was the first game I played after just playing The Sims franchise.
    I bought The Sims 4 at launch. I played a little and got bored.
    I asked a college friend at the time (2014) which game he would recommend to me and he recommended Mass Effect. I played the 3 demo until the entry into Normandy and the appearance of the logo. I stopped, went to the game's Facebook community if I should continue with 3 or go to 1 and play in order and that's how they guided me.
    I bought 1, downloaded it, played it and it was love at first sight. I played 2 and drives me crazy (my favorite into today). 3 came along, and despite the controversial ending, I loved the game.
    And that's it. I still play today and I don't want to stop anymore.

    I played the Legendary Edition once, but probably gonna do it only in a couple of years again.

The Citadel DLC, the ending of the game, leaving Liara, not knowing if Shepard will gonna see her and the crew again... Kinda hit me, a 31 year old dude, pretty heart. Literally the meme "emotional damage"

    I have never played them properly but just got the legendary edition and started it today. I do remember messing about in the Mako on my mated 360 12 billion years ago. I am very impressed with how nice the remaster looks and I can't wait to experience all the good stuff people have to say about these games.

    This version has some weird bugs the originals didn't have like one where your Shepard gets locked in a direction and walking "sideways" not actually in the direction you're moving. Happened to me quite some times in the original Mass Effect and ME2.
    The other is in ME2 after you beat the main mission and try a second romance option, the screen go totally black instead of the love cutscene with the game still running. You can even bring the start menu, save and load. But yeah, a glitch that didn't happen in the origina version.

    I remember playing my first 3rd person rpg set in a scifi fantasy universe; SWKOTOR, on the original xbox. I fell in love with the way the game played, the choices effecting your outcomes, and the whole alignment systems. This set me off on a life quest to find games like it, and in that search I found Mass Effect. Once again, I immediately fell in love, and once again, I set out to find a game like that again. I just recently got into playing Andromeda and I'm not impressed with the story like I was with 2 & 3, but the gameplay feels spectacular and the story is enough to captivate me and enthrall me into playing more to find out more. I was watching andromeda videos earlier and was reminded of the Legendary Edition coming out and immediately started looking for it on the PS Store.
    I had already purchased it.
    That's the impact these games have on people. They're masterpieces, no doubt about it.

    I knew that there was this trilogy, I remember how in 2009 my brother played the second part, how he allowed me to choose the color of armor. Then I remembered ME in the year 2018 or 2019, I played the first part, but I had a terrible laptop, I tearfully deleted the second part of the game I had just downloaded, because it didn't work well and crashed. And for the third time I thought about it again in the winter of 2021 with a normal PC and it just changed everything.
    I have a principle that the first passage of any game should be played without mods, cheats and other additions that change something in the game.
    At the end of the first playthrough of the trilogy, I was crying like never before in my life. I had a week of depression.
    A week later, I started the second walkthrough of the game, played with the Happy Ending Mod and a couple more on eye graphics and clothes. It was the first time I ever put mods on a game.
    The third time there are already much more mods, 10 for each part, I played a year later, since I played Andromeda (I liked it). I accepted the ending to the destruction of the Reapers as my favorite, even though there is a mod for a happy ending, but I felt like it wasn't real (it sounds weird, I know).
    Now I'm going through the game for the fourth time and I still don't understand how my laptop didn't explode, because I have 20+ mods for each part, starting from the mod for fixing black squares on Noveria or Ilos (because AMD) and for not shaking the camera when running (because I was seasick), ending with big mods, such as patches, EGM, ALOT, Project Variety, a mod for Anderson's extended dialogue, a mod for flirting and additional romantic relationships, and a bunch of other interesting things
    Friends, you have no fucking idea how much I love the Mass Effect, how glad I am that my laptop allows me to play it quietly for hours, I have a huge amount of knowledge, I got five people hooked on this game.
    This game was the very last part, coupled with a love of Star Trek, Avatar, and space in general, so that I decided to become an astrophysicist in the future :D
    And I want to thank you MrHulthen for the most up-to-date news, I remember how after the first passage of the trilogy in early 2022, I was in tears and had a terrible headache (I fully understood Kaidan) at first I watched the teaser of the new part 10 times (I still think about it once a month and review it), and completely inspired I found your channel and watched all the videos in a few hours lmao. I adore you ❤

    The big problem with ME is also what makes it good. Shepard and his/her story is mostly made by the player, background, gender, behaviour, choices, it's been decided by the player, it is extremely satisfying, but it also means that it is not canon, and it won't effect the sequels.

    To the handful of fellow home theatre enthusiasts who game, as of January 15th 2024, the first Mass Effect contained in this trilogy, on PC, still doesn't support surround sound without community mods and patches, which can be simple enough to implement, but it would be nice if it was fixed officially.
    That being said, still my favourite RPG of all-time. Highly recommended. :)
