A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Enjoy Mass Effect! That trilogy is one of the best sci-fi series ever imo.

I think everyone saying this has blown my expectations to the moon, I dont know mass effect will ever live up to it now. I even own the trilogy on steam. Is the remastered or whatever the right version if I do play it?

That’s fair, it is very highly praised. I definitely recommend playing them in order as choices you make in each game affect the future titles too. ME2 is the most popular, I personally like the first one the best but I get that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, at least compared to its sequel, but if you’re playing through the first one and find it a bit lacking or a touch boring I’d recommend pushing through anyway because CD 2 and 3 will probably be more enjoyable for you, and you really do need to play them in order imo. Otherwise it’s kind of like watching Empire Strikes Back without first watching A New Hope.

As for remastered vs original, I actually haven’t played the remastered before, only the originals (which I’ve played many times), but I’ve read it’s a good remaster so it’s probably safe to go with it.
