The Story of the Mass Effect Series

For over a decade, one of the most prominent sci-fi IPs in gamin was the Mass Effect series developed by the well-known RPG developer Bioware. A trio of masterpieces led the series to an all time high of popularity, only for a prolonged development cycle and underwhelming fourth entry brought the series to hiatus. This is the story of the highs and lows the various developers and artists went through when crafting the Mass Effect series.
Note: In parts 2 and 3 of this series I refer to Bioware Montreal as EA Montreal. That was a mistake on my part that I didn't catch until I was working on part 4.

[@draculathevampire934]

Thats what I'm saying he just needs to not upload livestream videos

All this time later, replaying it for the first time since the games launched, im once again reminded why it is my favorite game trilogy of all time, even with the ending.

Good job I liked the series, saw the compilation first, will like each individual part now that I see there are separate prior pieces. Thanks for making the content

Cool channel. There’s several channels that do history of something video game related. But I still like to see new ones as long as they are done well. And these are very well done. Keep up the good work please.

My whole life has led up to this very moment! Stoked dude.

GOAT SERIES

[@stonehorn4641]

I don't know what game story could possibly come close. There is no series that has ever done it this well, before or since, sadly.

This is commander Shephard and this is my favorite series on the Citadel. Also, leave it up to Fox News to be absolutely weird about fantasy romance. You know, because romance novels are classy.

Mass Effect ♥️!

[@Thegamingtrouge]

I want to try the first game now it looks fun

[@beaupeterson188]

It's great. It actually took me a couple months before the second game's release for me to play it; I owned it for a couple years and kept putting it off. One day I finally decided to play it and didn't look back. Great time. It actually felt like an RPG with real time action, instead of an action adventure shooter.
