![]() The female version of Commander Shepard featured in Mass Effect 3 will be the default character for all three games.ĮA says the collection features multiple tweaks including UI enhancements and quality of life changes. The creator will be unified across all three games, including the first Mass Effect. I got the occasional stutter when there was a whole lot of exploding on screen, especially in the backend of the first game, but nothing detrimental to my experience.The game’s character creator suite has been updated for the collection to include new skin tones, hair options, and more. ![]() Unlike many people, I don’t completely hate Mass Effect 3’s ending I just wish it had done more certain characters and storylines. While it’s mechanically tighter, there are fewer party members to experiment with, and the entire narrative feels forced to an unavoidable bottleneck. Endings are complicated, and the series had a lot of loose ends to wrap up. Mass Effect 3 is by no stretch a bad game, and it just gets bogged down by the weight of a bigger promise. The fantastic world they built is primed and spends all of the available time introducing you to unique characters and reminding you why you love this beautiful galaxy. However, Mass Effect 2 still feels like the series at its absolute best. Upon release, this was a series that made a massive deal about player choice mattering with this in mind, the lackluster payoff of Mass Effect 3 can get stuck in your head for most of the trip. ![]() The real star of this show is Mass Effect’s story, and on the whole, it’s as fantastic as ever, though playing all three so close in proximity does lose a little bit of the magic. I found myself wishing they would’ve opted to switch to Mass Effect 3’s wight based loadout system, though I’m sure a shift that massive is easier said than done. Unfortunately, this meant my Vanguard call didn’t have access to the old reliable sniper rifle until much later in the game when new weapon training was available. Mass Effect 2 chose to lock weapon usage behind character class. However, systems like weapons and abilities still change even from the second to the third entry. Additionally, an updated character creator unified across the three entries makes it easier to keep your Shepard consistent throughout the journey. Mass Effect 2 and 3 are primarily unchanged apart from updated visuals and what I’m sure are some updates to combat running in the background that the average player wouldn’t notice. Mass Effect’s ground-based vehicle, the Mako is also no longer a problematic to control nightmare, I wouldn’t call it a fun time, but I found myself dreading those segments a lot less than I did all those years ago. This game can make you a bit of a powerhouse in the back half of this game, but I’d say it’s a welcome change. ![]() In Legendary Edition, gunplay all around is a lot tighter, making it viable to use weapons outside of your character class wheelhouse. For example, if you had sniper rifle-based abilities, Shepard would perform well with snipers otherwise, the weapon sway would be so insane that they were basically unusable. In the initial release, characters lived and died by their weapon proficiencies. It makes sense considering it was the game most in line with traditional Bioware RPGs. The original Mass Effect is also the ripest with gameplay changes. In the first game, especially human characters can tread lightly into the uncanny valley, but alien races like the Turians and Krogan have never looked better. This series is now bubbling over with lens flare but looks pretty impressive on PC for the most part. ![]() But, like it or not, that has been stripped away to make it fall more in line with the realistic look of the last two entries. The most noticeable updates to the series come with enhanced visuals that are most obvious in the first entry to the series admittedly, the original game had more of a stylized and colorful vibe. This race of sentient machines threatens every race in Mass Effect’s rich world of aliens, and Shepard is forced to convince them all the stop shooting at each other long enough to save existence. Mass Effect puts you in control of Alliance Commander Shepard, a male or female earth marine turned Spectre (superspace cop), as you uncover a threat to the galaxy known as the Reapers. ![]()
