    Description:
    Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a remastered compilation of the video games in the Mass Effect trilogy: Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3. It is being developed by BioWare with assistance from Abstraction Games and Blind Squirrel Games, and published by Electronic Arts. All three games were remastered, with visual enhancements, technical improvements, and gameplay adjustments. Mass Effect, the first game of the trilogy, has received more extensive upgrades than its counterparts, specifically with regard to combat mechanics, vehicle handling, and loading times.
    Development on the Legendary Edition remasters commenced in 2019 under the direction of Mac Walters. Although BioWare initially considered other alternatives, they ultimately decided to approach the project as a remaster as opposed to a remake in order to preserve the original trilogy experience. The compilation was announced on November 7, 2020, and released on May 14, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
    The compilation also includes almost all single-player downloadable content (DLC) that was originally released for each game, such as promotional weapons, armors, and packs. Set in the Milky Way galaxy within an alternate universe during the 22nd century, the trilogy consists of action role-playing games in which the player assumes the role of Commander Shepard, an elite human soldier who must unite the galactic community against an impending threat. Shepard is a customizable character whose morality is determined by the player, and during each game, the player makes choices that can impact the story in various ways. These choices and consequences can be carried forward through the trilogy.

    Hey! After you play the trilogy, will you play Andromeda? It got a LOT of flak when it first came out, but I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would... I played it before the trilogy (playing it actually made me want to play the trilogy) and it had the best gunplay out of all three games (seriously, the original Mass Effect on the old consoles has some weeeird-feeling gunplay, which only gets better in each game), really good conversations with a lot more decision-making to set up your character instead of the super-obvious "GOOD/EVIL" decisions of the original, as well as some of my favorite music in the series, haha.
    That, and the friendships/romances are really fleshed out, with them spanning the entire game instead of say, one-and-done missions...
    And yeah, the ME:A facial animations can be weird and screwy sometimes, but having finally played through the original trilogy, IMO a lot of the facial animations of human characters in the trilogy (I played them on XB1 with updated graphics) are worse overall or comparable to ME:A, lol. Just saying...
    Edit: and yeah, that last part is pretty much blasphemy to the ME community, but it's true...
    I'd say it's kinda like how AC:Odyssey is collectively hated by like, most of the outspoken AC fans, but I actually enjoyed it...

      @@gin9410 Yeah, I would say that's because, well obviously, most of the original trilogy characters had 3 games to get to know them, haha. Hence why reunions with characters in the trilogy are effective. And yeah, having Andromeda be more "open world" instead of the extremely small/mostly uninteresting planets you explore in the originals was definitely fun! Felt more like you were actually exploring huge places with a lot of side missions instead of say, ME1's tiny maps that had like, one mission each and that all felt the same... like, comparatively, I almost never got out of the vehicle in ME1, while I would constantly get out to explore and interact with environments in ME:A.

    @8:56; I think it's more heatsink countdown seconds - the weapons themselves are probably scaled so that those seconds refer to how many shots you can pull off.
    But for shotguns, it makes sense to go for a tradeoff of low heatsink seconds - you generally don't want to have to be re-firing due to not doing enough damage.
    Well, at least, in my opinion - admittedly, didn't use shotguns very often in ME1.

    About grenades: Hit X once to throw it, then it works like a mine (triggered by enemy contact). To remotely detonate it, press X again.
    What kind of grenades you use can be customized with the "grenade launcher" in the inventory by loading it with different amunition. E.g. there are non-lethal gas grenades that you need in missions where you get the best outcome by not killing people.
    You should upgrade your weapons, ammunition, armor and biomod as soon as possible (in the equipment menu, press X), you have already picked up some useful upgrades.

    Higher Heatsink Capacity means you can fire the weapon for longer before it overheats. The assault rifle with 6.8 seconds of capacity can be fired for that amount of time before you have to wait through the forced cooldown (before modifiers).
    Don't worry, the later games have a proper ammo system.
    "Green" is your equipped standard, "yellow" (or light green, rather) means better and red means worse.
    Also there's guns that just suck, so don't worry. Go for stats unless you hate how the gun operates (burst-fire etc.).
