    The ME:LE is a weak and pathetic cash grab. The work was done by another company at BioWare's direction - this is rather telling of the lack of talent left within BioWare; they can't even modernize their own IP.

The work was done by another company at BioWare's direction - this is rather telling of the lack of talent left within BioWare; they can't even modernize their own IP. ME1's graphics look decidedly worse, as they didn't employ ray tracing or even bother to get the lighting right - everything is darker and washed out. Assault rifles are now simply awful and not at all like the original sci-fi space shooter. Instead of having a reticle that changes size with power usage and firing, the new game has a terrible reticle that just bounces all over the place. Honestly, I prefer the original Mass Effect. It would be different if they brought in cover usage similar to ME3 where we can use corners and left and right hand advantage - zero effort was put in to make it happen.

    ME2 is essentially untouched with the exception of editing out Miranda Lawson's gratuitous butt scenes. While this is not a deal breaker or anything - it is rather telling of BioWare's sense of (or lack thereof) direction.

    ME3 is the same appalling pile of crap. The deal breaker endings are not addressed. Do not get this game with the hoped that the endings are fixed - they are NOT. The endings are still the same nonsensical pile of appalling excrement.

    If you were hoping that the series was somehow made "Legendary", you will be sorely disappointed. If the ME:LE were free, you'd still be getting ripped off. Just play the originals with a few mods from the Nexus - not only will it look better than the ME:LE, it will actually still play like Mass Effect.

    Audio is completely broken (see other reviews) and it has become a total bullet-sponge game. Stand in front of an AI too stupid to know what a gun is and empty a clip in their face. NEXT! As much as the textures have been upgraded this is not worth playing in 2021.

    To put that in perspective, however, it is also an inferior purchase to buying the older trilogy edition and applying the most popular user-created mods to it. In

    To put that in perspective, however, it is also an inferior purchase to buying the older trilogy edition and applying the most popular user-created mods to it. In addition to not quite managing to match up to the quality and options added with mods to previous editions, it adds new bugs and re-cuts scenes and removes pieces.

    The only reason I could imagine for releasing this version would be is if they changed the highly controversial and disliked ending to the trilogy; which they didn't.

    Buy the trilogy edition instead, mod the hell out of it to get better graphics, more options, and more gameplay than the legendary offers, and enjoy.

    Additional Fair Warning, the review and Score only represents whats offerd in this Package! Not the Score of the Original Games itself, wich are a Holy Masterpiece of modern Gaming thanks to extraordinary Companions and Humor paired with a brilliant Epic Story!

    ME1: was nowhere near of what i expected it to be, a few higher Textures here and there and lots of old and new Bugs made it hard to enjoy once you put down your Nostalgia Sunglasses.
    Frameratedrops and stuttering on Planets while driving around with the Mako, hell i am able to play almost all modern Games in Ultra Details 60fps+ Cyberpunk? check! Tomb Raider? check! and the List goes on... and then you look at a Diashow in ME1 remaster O.o
    The Gameplay was still clunky and the Worlds lifeless, a few minor Details would have worked Wonders there.

    ME2: currently playing and witnessing alot of Bugs in Animations and Game errors up to freezes or Crashes so most likely no good Feedback too...good thing this is free for ea pro subs, would have already refunded the 60$ they want...

    And speaking of combat, ME1 is as clunky as ever, nothing remotely improved. No credible gameplay improvements in ME2 or ME3 either. Just lipstick-on-a-pig fluff screen content. And don't get me started on the ridiculous Origin overlay if you bought it on Steam.

    Not even a discount offered to those who already have ME1/2 on Steam or ME1/2/3 on Origin - UNLESS you bought ME3 for a second time on Steam, despite having it on Origin since 2012.

    The Bioware of old is long dead. They are the Husks, and EA are the Reapers. So save your money & stick with the original games. They're far more moddable & there's tons of mods to try.

    ME1 certainly benefits the most from a remaster. Playing this game with updated graphics is a dream come true. It was as distant from the rest of the trilogy as The Witcher 1 is from 2 & 3. It was always playable, but in the back of my mind I couldn't wait to get to the other games with much better graphics. The Citadel is gorgeous, combat is fluid and not clunky in that 2000s-era Bioware way, and the textures are awesome (alexvl has a crappy computer or needs to adjust their settings). Touching down on planets and driving the Mako isn't just tolerable, it's actually fun.

    One of the better remasters in recent memory, right up there with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro. The price point for all three games is great. Anyone who says otherwise has some major entitlement issues. Thank you Bioware for not screwing this up!

Some bugs are also breaking the picture (you can toggle helmets for the squad if you go to squad menu via esc, direct access to squad menu wont allow you toggle helmets on your team). Also during my ME1LE run I've experienced dozens of crashes, while the original game could run for 6-7 hours without a single crash. Lots of bugs from original still exists (Noveria infinite Paragon and Renegade points etc).
    However my negative point is not for that. I'm giving the lowest point possible because in 2021 you can bring more configuration control to end-user, give them ability to change graphics as they want to, bacause those lens flairs are killing my eyes, I want to have contol on bloom, depth of field etc.
    And also, as a Russian speaking player I highly disagree with this "golden" translation integrated into the game. It's only part 1 that was translated and it's kinda stupid to force to play 1st game with awful translation, and the 2nd and 3rd with only translated subtitles. Atmosphere is lost, russian translation voice actors are awful (compared to original) also sometimes, some things are changed. Yes there is the way to alter some files to be able to play with Russian subs and original voices. But why? Why should I dive deep into files architecture and fix something? It's not so hard to create an option for subs version and audio version. It's 60$ remaster. Is it so hard to just use your mind?

    Having the whole trilogy + all DLC in one big package for 60 bucks would be a good deal in and of itself (no really, go and put every game plus the DLC in your basket and look at the total price). But the main offer of the ME:LE is a 4K remaster. For instance, ME1 looked dated even back in 2007, but now it looks like it came out a few years ago. The remaster doesn't actually stop there, though. With the added changes in gameplay, they've managed to make the combat of ME1, originally barely bearable even with mods, actually enjoyable. They have done so without losing the style and substance of any of the games. There are no subtractions or lateral moves, everything in the MELE is an upgrade.

    It's a great story which evolves over three games and several story DLC, and now you can't use the excuse of dated visuals or gameplay to not check it out. Not sure what else to say, really. Everyone should play through Mass Effect, and this is the way to do it in 2021.

    Mass Effect is the best remaster I have ever played in my life, especially the number 1, it is beautifully in its gameplay and in its lighting problems that it had before. If you liked the game before, it is a must to play it now, and if you never played it, what are you doing? it's the best science fiction saga ever

    I teraz kilka moich uwag odnośnie tej edycji (a właściwie pierwszego ME) :
    1). EA nie tylko nie wyeliminowało bugów z oryginału, ale i dodało nowe - np. na Feros gdy możemy podejść do świecącej się kuli w odnóżach żniwiarza gra mi się zgliczowała i do końca misji na tej planecie moja postać nie mogła korzystać z osłon, bo..nie.

    I teraz kilka moich uwag odnośnie tej edycji (a właściwie pierwszego ME) :
    1). EA nie tylko nie wyeliminowało bugów z oryginału, ale i dodało nowe - np. na Feros gdy możemy podejść do świecącej się kuli w odnóżach żniwiarza gra mi się zgliczowała i do końca misji na tej planecie moja postać nie mogła korzystać z osłon, bo..nie.

    2). Nie wiem czy to błąd, ale po pierwszej wizycie w sklepiku na cytadeli (kwatermistrz) mogłem już kupić broń dla widm (niestety nie miałem hajsu, a Kaidana nikt nie chciał kupić:), ale gdy już zostałem widmem i miałem odpowiednią ilość hajsu to dopiero łaskawie gra pozwoliła mi na zakup tych broni dopiero po misji na Virmirze, gdy już miałem maksymalną ilość kasy - wtedy jak wcześniej zniknęły z oferty kwatermistrza te bronie, tak nagle się pojawiły! Czad!

    3). Inteligencja przeciwników i naszych towarzyszy - Jezusie słodki, nie pamiętam czy tak było w oryginale, ale na średnim poziomie trudności nasi przeciwnicy potrafią się zablokować (stać w miejscu) i nie reagować na to, że do nich nawalamy. Nasi towarzysze to już w ogóle kretyni! Stanie taki Wrex i napierdziela w ścianę, bo za ścianą jest przeciwnik!

    4). Optymalizacja! Nie wiem co EA zrobiło, ale na planetach na których nie ma głównych misji, ale na których możemy wylądować bardzo często podczas jazdy Maco pojawia się praktycznie 'slajd szoł"! Na RTXie 3080 w 1440p gra potrafi wyświetlać nawet po 40 klatek na sekundę! Natomiast na planetach gdzie są główne misje nie ma tego problemu! I z tego co czytałem na internetach nie jest to tylko mój problem! Brawo EA!

    5). Grafika dupy nie urywa, ale jest ok. Muzyka - nie ma się czego doczepić.

    6). I najgorsze i to co na 100% odrzuci nowych graczy od ME LE - brak usprawnień w stosunku do oryginału! To, co zostało poprawione w ME2 można było bardzo łatwo przenieść do ME 1 LE - np. informacja w % o eksploracji planet! Jestem osobą która "liże ściany" - mam zrobione wszystkie misje poboczne oprócz jednej - mam 6 artefaktów Protean i naprawdę nie chce mi się już szukać ostatniego, siódmego fragmentu - za dużo planet i brak jakiejkolwiek informacji o tym, gdzie już byłem - nie mam już ochoty po 31 godzinach gry oblatywać na nowo wszystkich planet! A oprócz tego mam wszystko zrobione - i pisma Asari i te badziewia od Turian i wszystkie minerały! Ech EA - a wystarczyło dołożyć wzorem dwójeczki procentową ilość eksploatacji planet!

    7). Gra jak wciągała kiedyś, tak wciąga nadal teraz! Ale nowi gracze odbiją się od tej edycji z prostego powodu - archaizmów i naleciałości "czasowych" tych gier (zwłaszcza jedynki). A oryginalne edycje wraz z DLC nadal kosztują niewspółmiernie dużo w stosunku do tego, co obecnie oferują!

    8). Ja ME1 z EL oceniam na 6/10 i ani punktu więcej! Zwłaszcza, że nie ma tutaj dodatku Pinnacle Station (DLC "Niebo" na szczęście jest!).

    9). Oficjalna blokada regionalna - albo grasz z polskim dubbingiem, albo z angielskim! Nie można grać z angielskim dubbingiem i polskimi napisami - bo nie! Na szczęście na nexusie są dostępne mody dzięki którym można spokojnie ustawić angielski dubbing i polskie napisy - ale tylko w wersji PC. Jak można takie badziewie wydawać w 2021 roku!?! EA to jednak stan umysłu!!!
    ----
    Odnośnie ME2 i 3 z LE, to moje wrażenie jest jedno : Jezus Maria jak oni mogli to tak sp....ć!?! DLC w oryginale ME2 miałem spolszczone (mody) i wiedziałem, że w edycji LE nie będzie ich po naszemu, ale na Boga - Kasumi, czy Zead niekiedy mają spolszczone dialogi (mowa o napisach), a niekiedy nie! WTF?!? I najlepsze - opisy niektórych broni, czy pancerzy są po angielsku, a niektóre po polsku! A teraz gwóźdź programu : w menu gdzie wybieram sobie jaką amunicję używam i zmieniam giwery nawet jest lokalizacyjny misz-masz - granat inferno i cały jego opis jest po angielsku, a np. opis strzału wstrząsowego jest już po polsku! Ja pi.....ę EA - wam się nie chciało nawet wrzucić opisów broni z DLC do "gugle translatora" i tłumaczenia wrzucić do gry! Wam się nie chciało nawet zajumać tłumaczeń od moderów i wkleić ich do gry! Ja pier....! Jak można było odwalić taką manianę?!! Ja się wcale nie dziwię, że EA Polska, że na fejsie, twitku i insta siedzi cicho! Coś co można załatać jednym patchem nigdy nie zostanie załatane oficjalnie, jak znam EA. Sprawę naprawią moderzy za jakiś czas! Jak można za takie gówno wołać 270zł! ME1 z LE faktycznie widać, że jest coś zrobili. Dwójka praktycznie nic nie jest poprawione względem oryginału. Trójka pewnie tak samo! Ech... Ta cała Edycja Legendarna nie jest warta więcej jak 59.99zł.

    I ostanie : DLC które w oryginale są tylko po angielsku na mapie galaktyki mają nawet opisy po angielsku! Brawo EA! Brawo!

    Jak dla mnie to oceniam to coś na 3/10. Za 59zł i mniej warto - inaczej omijać!

The graphics are much improved, even compared to the fully modded versions of the originals. Mass Effect 1 was always great for story, characters and world-building but left much to be desired when it came to graphics and gameplay. Now you don't have the tolerate the very dated graphics and clunky combat to experience the sense of wonder and exploration that the first game always excelled at. Playing it on an HD ultra-wide monitor with maxed out graphics and still hitting 165 FPS was sheer joy. You cannot adjust the field of view but it still looks fantastic. Even with high-end equipment and all the texture mods on the originals, it was hard to really feel like you were on the Citadel or on an actual planet previously in Mass Effect 1. Too many of the graphics were just nondescript blobs. Now, I feel like I am finally seeing these locations for the first time despite having played through the originals more than a few times. Everything I loved about the original games is still here and nothing has been changed but everything has been buffed and polished until it shines even brighter. I miss the multiplayer that Mass Effect 3 included and I hope they decide to continue it in the future but other than that, I cannot find anything to complain about. $60 for all three polished games and all the DLC (except for Pinnacle Station which I personally never liked anyway) is a fantastic value especially if like me, you like to take your time with these characters and really appreciate the story and take in the details. I haven't finished this play-through yet but my guess is it will likely take 100 hours or more to experience everything the Legendary Edition offers. The Mass Effect trilogy is a masterpiece and Mass Effect Legendary Edition is the definitive way to play it. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Expand

Once upon a time, Bioware was firing on all cylinders, with the Dragon Age and Mass Effect franchises serving as the top-of-the-line RPGs of the day. I now vaguely remember the details of the games, but certain moments have stuck with me forever, and I have no idea what I did with those original discs - not that it would matter in this age of discless data. So I was pretty excited to hear the entire series was getting a facelift and modern makeover. I've only just started the original again, and look forward to the hundreds of hours of relationship-building, character development, and plot twists. So far everything is running butter smooth on my low-mid range laptop (Geforce GTX 1650), with everything presumably cranked to the highest levels. I say 'presumably' because the options for graphical adjustment are very few.

    I just hope newcomers stick with the series long enough to experience just how good the series ultimately gets.

    The one thing that keeps this from being a '10' for me, is that you can't play it without Origin's intrusive nonsense gateway software, something people have been complaining about for decades, but which publishers have dug in their heels and insisted they all have (which means we gamers have to navigate and put up with a half dozen or more of these stupid gateways). Stick with the Steam gateway. Just one for all games PLEASE, publishers.

    - no option to choose language of subtitles and voice separately - even the original trilogy had it, again, modders after few hours fixed this as well, for me as Polish fan where dubiing is just crap this is a big issue, but thanks for modders, but still on consoles you can't mod it
    - first game is pretty much mostly upgraded graphically and gameplay - that's good and i like this
    - but second and third game is the thing we already have on PC with mods - there are close to none changes compared to textures mods, and compared to first game most of the effects stayed as they are, this seems really lazy, they should do the same approach to second and third game, improve it more than mods actually do
    - some weird graphical glitches here and there, mostly in first game
    - broken surround sound in first game - again, it's super easy to fix, you just need to download new OpenAL32.dll and replace it and it's fixed, but why Bioware didn't do it? No idea
    - HDR support is great addition, really like it
    - no option to disable mouse acceleration? what a hell? again, there is super easy fix to ini file, but this should be added to game options
    - also no fov slider - though i don't care about this too much, it's fine for me as it is

    Overall i would say that they should really reduce the price for PC players having previous games, 60$ for basically improved first game, and two others where we already had this graphical level most of the time is kind of expensive. If you are newcommer to a game i recommend buying this legendary edition, those are amazing games that you must play. But if you already played it, have original trilogy and don't have 60$ to pay for this then pass and wait until it will be in ea play or cost around 20$ which i think will be fair price then.

    This was not an unknown or undisclosed fact. Terrible quality of Russian voice - over is common information. In this regard, the conclusion is made:

    Bioware, set out to attract a large Russian-speaking audience(with the help of Russian voice acting), not caring about the quality.

    In fact, this is a spit in the face of all Russian-speaking fans of the game.

    Some things about Legendary Edition disappointed or irritated me (no support for the mods, no option to import save files or characters from the original games, no multiplayer in ME3, Denuvo, some bugs and glitches) but as an avid fan who played through the trilogy many times, I enjoyed the remasters immensely.

    Mass Effect Legendary Edition is not just a love letter to fans, but also a great gift that BioWare is making to newcomers to the series. Although some of the issues present in the original games haven't been fixed, there are so many improvements to the first two Mass Effect titles that I'm willing to overlook the minor bugs. The entire trilogy sends players throughout this amazing sci-fi universe that feels alive and vibrant everywhere you look. Perhaps these games should have been remastered separately to get the attention they deserve, but having the entire trilogy in a single bundle that's perfectly playable nearly 15 years after the release of the first game is surely convenient.

There's no question you should pick this up if you fall into either category because Commander Shepard deserves that much attention.
