Mass Effect Legendary Edition New Features

All the games are packaged in one launcher. So you launch the game on Origin or Steam on PC. So if you want to start with Mass Effect 2 or 3 you can. And there is actually this cool cutscene they added to Mass Effect 2 and another one in Mass Effect 3 that sort of a comic recap of the events happened in the previous game.

A really Cool feature about Mass Effect Legendary Edition is that they have a unified character creator meaning the character creator is the same from game to game to game. Which means you can create the same visual appearance if you are trying to make your character again. You can of course import your save from game to game to game but if you want to make the same character for some reason.

If you are playing on Xbox One and you decided to get an Xbox Series S or X. Your save file will transfer to your Series X or S and you will be able to keep playing the game. However, if you are playing on PS4 and get a PS5, that would not transfer.

The last notable feature that comes with the game before we get into performance is that there are 40 DLCs ,promo armors and weapons added to this. So you will have a ton of DLCs added to this game. There is going to be extra content for you. It is not just the regular games in these editions. It’s like everything stuffed in there that you could possibly want. There is alot to this and the cost is 59.99. You are getting a lot in there for that price.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition Performance

Talking about performance, I want to start with Mass Effect 1 first. it looks the worst out of all three games. No surprise there, it is the oldest and needed the most quality of life , you can see if you look at the notes they added to mass effect 1. They spent far more time improving on quality of life improvements on ME 1. Trying to bring it up to par with Mass Effect 2 and 3.

While they did a good job and a lot of things were added, I don’t think they fully succeeded in this. First of all you are going to notice the graphics are worse. It is just a fact, they don’t look terrible and it is not the end of the world but as you play Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, you are going to see a huge difference in ME 1 ,ME 2 and ME 3 and that’s fine.

Final Thoughts

So far, I am really happy with Mass Effect Legendary Edition, it is 59.99 with all their DLCs and promo stuff effectively. Which is a great price even if you didn’t buy a remaster but you are getting a remastered version on top of that package so it is a really really good deal. These games will give you 50-70 hours of playtime and gameplay. That is a lot of value for your money especially compared to these other remaster games recently. It is just really really well done in my opinion.

If you are a fan of this series, you are going to love this game and if you are new to this franchise it is probably good enough Mass Effect 1 to get you through Mass Effect 2 and 3 with very little complaints.

Do not skip mass effect 1 there’s no point. It’s a huge piece of the story in context and character. Yes it’s clunky but you’ll be fine.

[emperman]

"They don't make this anymore"
They literally don't. 😭

[iamtheblackwizard]

"This is what bioware used to make" damn...that hit hard. Bioware, if you are reading, please come back!

[Harrysound]

“‘if you can get through that first game..” I did, in 2007, 5 times on 360.

[thekingslayer]

My favorite game trilogy of all time. Seriously my favorite story, characters, dialogues, armors, everything. I can’t wait to play this later today

[MyEnemy]

I'm one of those rare creatures who never played these games, I guess it's now or never!

[Mi]

The part where you said it made you mad that Bioware just doesn't do this anymore made me pretty sad lol

And as clunky as Mass Effect 1 is, I love it. Might be my favorite story of the trilogy, just incredible world building.

[horizonlee]

Mass effect 2 is one of my all time favs, especially the side
Missions with your teammates, such quality writing and direction

[iamtheblackwizard]

I'm here to say..."assuming direct control"

[NataxFinal]

masterpiece then masterpiece now, this game is just incredible if you never played it YOU NEED TO BUY IT NOW. This is probably the last bioware great game you will ever see come

[pedrobrazon]

Yeah, this was Bioware's crown jewel and is my favorite Sci-Fi series by a long shot.

[FamSisher]

Don’t sleep on me1, personally my favorite of the 3. It plays more like a rpg than the other 2.

[Dimvou]

Mass Effect 1 sets the foundation for the world and the story - and it's absolutely amazing! New guys to this, remember, you are not playing call of duty in space, you have played better shooters, with better controls etc, but you haven't experienced a story like this

[Nickball]

Best "game" (I consider all 3 as a single one) I have ever played. You are so emotionally invested in the characters, their relationships, the world they inhabit. It's insane, it's a benchmark for all other single player games. If you get goosebumps just by watching the intro scene, you know you have a masterpiece in your hands. Can't wait to play this again remastered.

[tulkdog]

Not skipping ME1. My wife watched me playing ME3 when it came out, thought it looked fun and wanted to play. We played through the whole trilogy together. :)

[Shea_J]

I finally have to chance to play this legendary trilogy for the first time.

[RandomShinigami]

0:35 that redone main menu for Mass Effect 1 looks gorgeous!
I know others have said this already, but I am genuinely jealous of those who will be experiencing the trilogy for the first time with this. Please, try to go in blind. You're in for one hell of a ride.

“Anyone else miss those conversations we used to have in the elevators on the citadel?”
“No”
“C’mon, remember? You used to tell us about life on the flotilla?”
“I know at least 3 different poisons that are deadly to Turians, Vakaraon.. don’t make me use them...”
“Hmm... maybe we’ll talk later...”

[michaelyork]

Time to do the same paragon tali run I’ve done the past 40 play throughs since I can’t force myself to do anything else
