Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time (infosec.pub)

This game made me feel like the captain of a space ship. There was nothing like it at the time it was released, and even now I have not experienced any other game making me feel this way. I loved Fallout 3 too, but Mass Effect had something special. It was so well crafted, I listened to every dialogue of every NPC. The characters are so memorable with amazing voice acting. The Citadel is the best city in video games, felt really alive. Most sidequests add to the story instead of just padding the gameplay time.

After playing the game, I wondered how Star Wars (movies) sucked so badly, when a video game could create a much more interesting sci-fi world and story.

Unfortunately Bioware is no longer the same company.

There’s a graphically updated version of the trilogy, regularly goes on sale for a few bucks

[–] mephiska@fedia.io 7 points 3 days ago

Yep, totally worth the $5 when it comes up for sale. PC controls updated from original so works with controllers now too.

Oh no. EA play, fuck that shit.

I'll have to find a repack or something -_-

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ha, yeah I actually also haven’t purchased legendary edition, for that exact same reason. But it seems we are in the minority in boycotting EA play, so I usually don’t let it stop me from recommending this particular series.

For disclosure, I played all of them on xbox 360 back when they came out, and loved them. I also have friends who bought the LE and had a great experience, I watched them play a bit too and everything seemed to hold up very well

Yeh that is fair enough, there is a DODI repack anyway so I'll probably grab that. I have been considering a 360 recently what with the new exploit that has been made available so maybe I'll grab a cheap 360 so I can relive some of my favourite games from there too.

I just bought the Legendary Edition on Steam for not much at all, cheers

You don’t need graphic updates, those power ranger body suits are great as is. Nothing says style like a bright yellow avian evolved alien.

Maybe I'll keep an eye out for a good price then!
