  • The day has finally come! Mass Effect Legendary Edition is in hand and I have played ~15 hours of the game! This combines my time with Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 on Xbox Series X as well as comparing/contrasting the originals and diving into the PC version on top of it all. The question is, does this game deliver on what we wanted? I aim to answer that in my honest impressions!

      That's something that I think they should change in the future ME game. You always feel like you get burned for picking Renegade options. Jack died in my first playthrough cause I picked a renegade option on the loyalty quest and you can't do any romances if you are renegade. Even Jack's romance is paragon based.

      @SliderFury1 Před 3 lety +19

      @@Braydzz I mean, I could see making some adjustments but that's kind how it would go. Renegade suggests you are doing things that are contradictory to expectations and that will usually cause situations to go awry more often than not. Sometimes that sort of against-the-grain approach is better in the long run, but will cause chaos in the short term, and chaos often breeds suffering.

    To any new players playing this trilogy for the first time, a big pro tip to keep in mind that will help you along your journey is TALK. Talk to everyone you can as often as you can! Explore and exhaust all dialog options! This is a dialog driven game so speak up. Best of luck and enjoy. You only get to experience it for the first time once!

      @@perforongo9078 You can? Guess they must've added that in the update, will have a look, thanks!
      Edit: Having checked, I realise that you simply mean that you can toggle it on or off, what I meant is the ability to increase or decrease it's intensity, along with the other settings noted.

    Great first look! I was getting worried with it being the day before and reviews still weren't out. With the hype, I assumed embargoes would have been lifted a few days before. I think I'll go ahead and confidently preorder and play on my PS4 Pro.

    Thanks, Matty! I played these games on Xbox One X for the first time last year - and Mass Effect 1 is easily my favorite thanks to its world building and RPG mechanics. Thanks for previewing ME1, and I'm looking forward to picking this up. Cheers!

      @@xenon8117 It's a very specific one, most of the players do not go there, if I am right it's because like an achievement or hidden mission you need to get there, but sure if you search on youtube for "mass effect 3 leviathan ladder bug fix" or something like this you will find, it's a video for 8 years ago if they do not fix it, will be a huge shame. Before this video, I think I try to pass for 3 hours without success.

    This is much needed. I haven’t played Mass Effect in so long and it’s such a treat for PlayStation gamers because a lot of them missed out on it because the PS4 had no backwards compatibility. We also had wait to longer to play ME1 and ME2 on PlayStation as well.

      I'm with you. I'm a completionist who really doesn't like to skip content, even on replays. The clunky Mako controls just made those planets such a chore.

      There are people that didn’t like the Mako?
      That useless hunk of scrap is a damned gem. Sure it can’t drive worth a damn and the aiming is piss-poor but it has a heart. And if you ever want to go over a mountain instead of the fairly easy path around it then the mako will do it. Perseverance!
      Ah the nostalgia!
