    They messed up the atmosphere and everything man. Just isn't worth it.

    Oh and it has censorship instead of actually fixing the necessary issues.

    BioWare is dead.

    Not the remaster we wanted.

    In short ME:LE is a 60fps 4K port of the original trilogy (If you have a Series X or PS5) and not much else. ME:1 has had the most work done to it and I'm left wanting more, really I and most fans wanted a true remake not a high resolution port, the game is still fun and if you never played mass effect this it the best way to play it and best value.    Not the remaster we wanted.

    There are changes to improve the implementation of DLC weapons and Armor, but its not perfect, for example the N7 Defender Armor in ME:3 which was a collectors edition exclusive is no longer avilable at the start and must be bought for 80,000 credits, this is strange because there is in game email from Admiral Hackett telling us that he bought it for Shepard (the player), which of course that is no longer the case,

    Also 3 achievement are bugged and have yet to be patched so they unlock correctly, witch bring me to the point that the total Gamerscore is that can be earnt is 2915, that's less than if you bought all 3 original copy's of the base games with out the DLC, and there's not even a Achievement for completing the Arrival DLC in ME2.

    So ME:LE is a Fun, bare minimum effort to update the ME:trilogy for new and old fans, and certainly not worth the asking price wait for it to be £30 at least    … Expand

    They really don't make games like this anymore. Though, it feels as if Bioware set out to make a remaster/remake of ME1 to begin with, as it has the most changes and improvements.

    Most of what I wanted in a ME1 remaster/remake have been accomplished, though a bit more should have been done to at least make combat identical to ME2, but it's not too far off. ME1 definitely feels way more modernized than its original release, but still feels a bit old. Some people complain that Pinnacle Station DLC wasn't included, but why are you complaining? Pinnacle Station literally added nothing of importance to the game, it was just a boring combat simulation. Good riddance I say. I also see that they didn't adjust any of the volumes in the conversations, most notably on the Normandy. I still struggle to hear many of Garrus' lines, his volume for his dialogue is still way too low. Bioware sure loves their lens flares, and they went overboard in ME1. They really need a patch to bring it back in some, as it's way too much.

    Outside of graphics overhauls and stability, ME2 and ME3 remain mostly unchanged. However bugs and glitches are more prevalent than they were in the original releases. ME2 has lots of audio bugs, that make me wince at some of them. ME3 has AI bugs. For instance, using the Throw biotic makes many enemies permanently stay on the ground. It's like the AI thinks it's still in the air while being on the ground, unable to do anything. Animations for both games are off. While both had some in original releases, it feels like there's more of them. In cutscenes, when Shepard has their hand against their ear to talk over comms, pretty much every instance has their hand a good few inches off their ear, or a character had their hands wrapped weirdly against their gun. It seems as if they redid many animations from scratch, and they released a rough version of it without and additional oversight.

    Overall, a great remaster, and I loved the ME1 improvements the most. Once the bugs and glitches get fixed through future updates, this will be the way to play the greatest series ever.    … Expand

    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 textures and models look good, but as far as I can tell they didn't touch the sound design or animations.

    Unability to select separate language for dubbing and subtitles makes this game virtually unplayable. As much as I am a huge fan of original games, this Legendary Edition is nothing else that a cheap attempt to get some more money from old games.

A lazy coat of paint is what we got.

    The main selling point of the franchise is the many improvements made to the outdated Mass Effect 1. Now, are these changes drastic? Yes. Is the combat better than 2 and 3? Hell no.

    Adding on the absurd amount of achievements that can be reached, (for large pools of points) this collection is amazing for returning fans, and new ones alike.

    Even if you've recently played the games, it's still worth the $50-$60USD for the many improvements.

    Most of the upgrades have been made to ME 1, as that's the oldest one obviously, and they did a pretty good job here. The upgrades to the graphics are very impressive, outside of a few misses with some character models like with Captain Anderson and Udina. Both of them have issues with their eyes almost bugging out of their heads on some cutscenes and Udina's skin pigmentation seems to fluctuate weirdly. The gameplay was updated to be almost exactly like ME 2, without some of the more enjoyable classes that game brought with it though. However it didnt all stick as the controls for the cover system are just garbage and made me just never want to use cover at all. And the updates to the Mako's controls are nice but really doesnt do much to make those segments of the game any more enjoyable then they were before. However it was a fun and refreshing experience as the biggest and best upgrade, for those playing on a Series X at least, is the massive decrease of load times across all titles. I'd say about a 1/3rd of the time I spent with the original ME games, all 3 of them, were just staring at loading screens, especially the first game. The load times here are so short that it really lets the game flow much better then it ever has before and kept me interested and entertained throughout the entire thing. Its one of the biggest updates that was made to each game and it easily does the most to making this the best remaster it could be.
    While each game shows its age in certain areas, especially ME 1, this is still one of the best original video game trilogies that's been released in decades. For those who went through the game before, I'd definitely say its worth it just for the lack of load times by itself. That alone made this a much more enjoyable experience then I thought would be possible. For newcomers I cant recommend it enough.    … Expand

    As EA finally added an option to choose VO and subs language separately, I'm changing my review to be relevant. Mass Effect was and still is a universally loved masterpiece, and seeing it refreshed, seeing the renewed interest of the community, both old and new is heartwarming. Despite all that, I'm here to rate Legendary Edition on its own.

    LE is basically a quick and rather cheap way for EA and Bioware to attract interest to ME franchise as a whole, after Andromeda failure and before new Mass Effect game. While graphical and gameplay changes are welcome, there is obvious lack of technical polish. Bugs that are older than a lot of teenagers are still there for our despair, and there are also some new (nasty) ones.

    I really hope it all will be fixed in the end, and what we get is a clean, polished and convenient Mass Effect trilogy for us to return to from time to time and reflect on our memories of playing it for the first time ever.    … Expand

They are giving priority to origin, because they know that's the only way they'd ever convince anyone to spend a dime on that piece of garbage platform, and even then they're making pc in general wait half a day past when console players get to play this game. Pretty much every major publication's mentioned the lack of settings and the minimal improvements over the originals, all on decade old games. They'll still likely be better than anything this gutted developer is capable of putting out today, but it's still not worth the price tag. I will NEVER buy anything else EA's had their grubby hands on. Made that decision a long time ago, and made the poor decision to break it for this, but I'm refunding it. I won't ever make that poor choice again.

    EDIT:
    Also, note that there's ALREADY talk, LESS THAN AN HOUR IN, of them reviving the multiplayer, complete with lootboxes (Of course, not remembering anything you'd unlocked in the previous games. Gotta start shoveling cash towards them from scratch). Just gain some self respect, keep your memories of the original games, and stop giving these people your money rofl. They've proven time, and time, and time again that they don't deserve it, and they're not gonna magically change this time, nor the next time, nor the time after that.    … Expand

    On Series X this Mass Effect Legendary edition runs at 120 HZ/120 FPS ON XBOX SERIES X...something the PS5 does NOT do for this game.

    The problem is that people are so happy about this graphic patch! ME Andromeda was a 3/10, but people just prefer playing over and over again old games with a 4K patch. That’s shameful: EA published only 1 decent game in the last 3 years, and that’s a F2P.

Потом я второй сыграл, тоже идеальная и первую часть перепрошёл на ультра настройках (60 FPS). Мультиплеер третьего Mass Effect идеален и игроки которые в него досихпор играли даже после выхода Андромеды это подтвердят. Выходит Андромеда - и это ужас. Оптимизация: ужасная.

    While not perfect, especially when it comes to combat in Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is still a gem. Most of the changes were put into Mass Effect 1, and the effort made it far more replayable than the original. Mass Effect 3 holds up the best of the three, proving that regardless of the controversial ending, it is still one of the best gaming experiences BioWare has made to date. Mass Effect 2 could’ve done with some more tweaking to bring it up to 3’s combat. Legendary Edition gives hope for the future of the franchise.
