The trilogy story still holds up as one of the best in the entire gaming history. And this is not a remake. This is a faithful remaster.

Respectfully disagree. His main goal is to let folks, including those who have never played it before, know whether it is an enjoyable game today and worth $60, given evolution of game design, not pay homage to whether it was ground breaking when it came out. (And that happens to be exactly what I was looking for). $60 is a lot of money to pay for 3 games that you hardly play because they’ve not aged well. The fact that they “were” good when they came out has zero impact on whether they are fun now. Now, if this was more a historical overview of the impact of the series, then I’d agree with your points. But he makes it clear it is not.

@@ShiningEyeBrigade $60 for 100-150 hrs of quality game play, is money well spent. And the games have aged well. Many of the negative points he has for the trilogy come solely down to the hardware limitations of the time. The story is still one of the best, solid in a way that many of the AAA games of today fall short of, and the gameplay while limited in some ways is still enjoyable. It is still a 10/10 trilogy if people aren’t stupid enough to judge it by today’s standards. We don’t just Super Mario by today’s Standards, or legend of Zelda. or resident evil, GTA3, Final Fantasy 7, etc. So don’t judge Mass Effect 1-3

Kalahira, mistress of inscrutable depths, I ask forgiveness. Kalahira, whose waves wear down stone and sand. Kalahira, wash the sins from this one and set him on the distant shore of the infinite spirit. Kalahira, this one’s heart is pure but beset by wickedness and contention. Guide this one to where the traveler never tires, the lover never leaves, the hungry never starve. Guide this one, Kalahira, and he will be a companion to you as he was to me.

It is a long comment but as a gamer for the past 20 years i have my views so bear with me. It seems the reviewer only played mass effect 1 and rushed to finish the triology without actually playing the game or even never completed the triology. Gamespot should never let such people to review the games. We all know that the graphics are better, what we wanted to know is about the expirence that the reviewer felt when playing the Trilogy. I still remember the old mass effect 3 review by gamespot "the Game engages your mind and moves your heart". That was a review by a passionate reviewer. But this review seems that the reviewer was forced to play the triology and he gave up halfway(or even earlier). I have always found Gamespot reviews more in depth and to my liking/satisfaction compared to IGN(which gives 8/10 to all games). But I am not satisfied with this review, i want Gamespot to let another reviewer play the triology, and post the video again. All those who agree like this comment to make sure it remains on top and Gamespot notices it and do something about it.

Otherwise, it's not a proper review. My issue isn't even about the social standing aspect, it's with people who think merely mentioning this AND giving a negative opinion about certain things that can arguably, within reason, be seen as a negative thing within the product being reviewed as a fucking blasphemous insult to fans or something.

You know, I think there are things in this trilogy that did not age well, very few of them were covered in this review XD. The lack of markers for objectives in ME1 was annoying, the fact that the completion requirements for certain side quests weren’t totally clear is another problem. I’m surprised he didn’t point out that the quality of ME1’s side quests do not hold up to modern standards. Too often they take you to areas that look exactly the same or planets that are just a colored reskin. These are nitpicks of course, but if he was going to complain about the game, he should at least talk about the mechanics, rather than the story, since this is a remaster not a remake. I’m not even sure a rating system is fair here. Since you are judging an old game by modern standards.

Nor should it be changed in a remaster. You must remember the time period these games came out in and not compare it to a modern game. I personally loved the way mass effect handled its content. I will agree they could have delayed the dlc starting points but I think its fine the way it is. I am glad they stuck with a remaster and did not change too much in the original games, I feel like if they did it would just have fubared the game up.

You don't have to pick a side in order to get the best outcome. It's possible to play as a paragade and get all dialogue options, you just have to complete every main and side mission that's given to you and scan every planet in every system for hidden side quests. Also, the reason your scar has gone is due to the rebuild process. You got spaced, burned up during atmosphere entry and hit the ground. Jacob mentions that you were nothing but "meat and tubes."
