Hi everyone!
I’ve been replaying the Mass Effect games and I’m really impressed by how great they are.
Someway, even if I really enjoyed them back in the days on my Playstation 3, I feel like it’s now even better now that I get to enjoy the Legendary Edition on my Steam Deck.
I think I might have been too young to appreciate all the work that goes into creating such a universe and how you can just spend time by listening to conversations, look at the world around you and get involved in all the politics and news.
I was also surprized at how integrated the DLC’s are. The other day I started playing the Omega freeing mission in Mass Effect 3, just to discover after a few hours that it’s not part of the main game.
Since I don’t remember my first playthrough, it makes me wonder how many of the DLC’s I’ve played for now.
I’m around 20 hours in Mass Effect 3 and I hope the end is as good as I remember (even if I know that some people where not happy with the end). For now, I don’t even know if there are many endings, so no spoiler please.
All of this, just to say that you shoud get the game if you haven’t played it yet. I got it for around 10$ if I remember, but it’d would even still be worth it at the 69$ they are asking for it these days) I can lower the TDP to 7/ 30 FPS and the game still looks gorgeous on the Deck’s small screen.
I feel like it’s even better than Cyberpunk 2077 while still filling my need of a huge world with a lot of tech stuff and background stories.
Some people are complaining about the always online requirement, but I think you can even avoid it.
I also wanted to add that EA has a bad reputation on Lemmy (and it’s probably justified in a way and not gonna get better soon), but they’ve created some great games over the years. Here is a list of the ones I’ve enjoyed just as a reminder:
-Dead Space 1-3 (3 is great despite everything people are saying) -Battlefield 1 -Star Wars Jedi Survivor and fallen order -Need For Speed Shift 1-2


EA was publisher, bioware was the developer. Same company that created Baldur’s Gate, KotOR, NWN, Dragon Age.
I’d say they managed to create good games despite having EA as publisher (and eventual owner).
Oh yes you’re right, but then let’s say that a lot of great games were published by EA.
