Happenstance Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 https://gear.bioware.com/products/mass-effect-legendary-cache-wave-2 Might have been tempted to get this but ffs Bioware, why does it not include the game???
Cube Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 I imagine it's mainly the butt shots that happen when she's talking about her abusive father or when her sister is in danger. Always felt a bit odd when the character was in distress. 7 minutes ago, Happenstance said: Might have been tempted to get this but ffs Bioware, why does it not include the game??? So they don't have to make multiple versions, and so people can get digital copies if they prefer. Unfortunately the shipping (and potential import VAT and duty) makes it extremely expensive.

If there was an award for best promotional artwork, this would get my vote hands down. Basically just this though innit? Interested to see how this collection will review. I played ME2 for the first time last year and generally really enjoyed it, but I have to say that with no nostalgia goggles the gameplay is reaalllyy repetitive - very mid-00s corridor shooter stuff. The writing holds up really well but for younger audiences coming to it fresh for the first time, it'll be a bit of a weird one! Nonetheless - the trailer is ace. Nailed to tone
Happenstance Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Why isn’t it May already??? I’m really in the mood for Mass Effect again!

Julius Posted April 13, 2021 Author Posted April 13, 2021 Official comparison trailer from Bioware: Looks great! 2
Happenstance Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 Got my preorder in ready for later this month. It hasn't actually been that long since I last played ME 1&2 but I'm still really looking forward to playing through the whole trilogy again. 2
Hero-of-Time Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 Is this new? @Happenstance and @Goafer may be interested in this.

Gonna have to make thousands of wallpapers now lol.
Cube Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 Only the best characters allowed! Spoiler Also, rather than have a messy install and having it be a pain to move the digital content from deluxe editions across to devices you need, all the deluxe content from the previous games (soundtracks, art books, comics and a lithograph) are available to download. It includes a new track for this version: https://www.ea.com/games/mass-effect/mass-effect-legendary-edition/mass-effect-bonus-content-download?isLocalized=true 2
Julius Posted May 6, 2021 Author Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) The game is big, but I wouldn't have been surprised if it were bigger to be honest, given that it's the trilogy and the DLC? Though, I don't think this includes the 11GB day one patch! EDIT: update on this. Those EU language options are costing us! In all seriousness though, a little weird that the other languages aren't optional installs. Edited May 6, 2021 by Julius
Happenstance Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 Looks like my copy has shipped. Hopefully it’ll arrive tomorrow so I can get started as soon as possible. 2
Cube Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 I was hoping mine would arrive today, but it didn't. 1 3

Happenstance Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 It’s a good looking remaster but there seems to be issues with the sound that weren’t present in the original version. Voices can be a bit quiet in conversations but if you turn the sound up then the volume for the gun shots is way too high. Gets a bit annoying.

I turned the sound effect volume down to 50% then turned the volume up. I really love photo mode. Spoiler
Happenstance Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) Ok then that’s Mass Effect 1 finished. Might give myself half an hour then move onto 2 😆 Edited May 16, 2021 by Happenstance
Ronnie Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 Been waiting to play ME 1 and 2 for the first time since the Wii U when I stupidly played ME3 and fell in love. Anyway, a good 5+ hours into 1 and I'm loving it. To create this universe from nothing, full of so much lore and world building is incredible. It really makes you wonder what's happened in the last few years where everything in media is so derivative. If it's not a reboot or a sequel it's a spin off or based on an already established license.

If it's not a reboot or a sequel it's a spin off or based on an already established license. Couldn't agree more. They've had a lot of inspiration from various sci-fi universes, but in the end they've created something unique and solid. Also, if you haven't read the books by Drew Karpyshyn, you have a lot more Mass Effect goodness coming your way. He writes so good, it's a shame he left the studio after the second game. Also, to be able to create such different creatures with so much history right off the bat is crazy. Just the whole history with the Geth and the Quarians is so deep and interesting, and that's just one of several histories. I love that each race has their own quirk too, like the Krogan and their history of war and so on. Great universe, and it made me love the games the minute I booted it up. Didn't hurt that the graphics at the time were insane. 1
