March 12, 20196 yr I'm currently playing the Mass Effect series. Just beat ME2 on pc but my copy of ME3 is xbox. I think I can import my character from pc to xbox but I need a ME2 xbox save folder first. Does anyone have a copy lying around?

March 17, 20196 yr Author thanks for trying. I ended up finding ME 3 for sale on origin for $5. Now I just have to find a sale on the DLC instead of paying the $30
January 1, 20205 yr Loved the entire series, even liked Andromeda which everyone hates. First one was so epic and different, and 3 was the most complete game I’d played at the time. And ME2 was good for its own reason(s):
January 2, 20205 yr The options were rhetorical, @The Earl of Texas. One was clearly supposed to select "Investigate." And put me in the "Also Liked Andromeda" camp. Thought it was a solid continuation of the series, even if parts of the story and most of the characters seemed recycled. Of course, I played it 2.5 years after launch, when it was much cheaper and far less buggy than at release.
January 8, 20205 yr the biggest issue with Andromeda was that it carried the Mass Effect name i wish there was a way to easily play ME2 on PS4 these days

January 8, 20205 yr Author buy it for the PC on Origin for $10-15 for all three games, the DLC is free now. Then add the ALOT and MEITUM mods along with any others at https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect. That's how I played them all. Also use the Xbox controller mod to play with a controller instead of the mouse and keyboard. Edited January 8, 20205 yr by Viper
January 8, 20205 yr I didn't hate Andromeda. I definitely liked the combat upgrades from the earlier games. However, it felt somewhat directionless. Whereas with previous ME games, I didn't want them to end and kept hoping to find one more side mission, Andromeda occasionally felt like a chore and I was somewhat relieved when I reached the end.
January 8, 20205 yr @Storm the Field That's fair and I felt the same way toward the end of Andromeda. Still, the combat system is dope and the game itself seems far better than advertised. ME2 was my favorite, with ME3 a close second. I'd rate Andromeda even with ME1 but that's just me. There's a YouTube review of Andromeda in which the host complains over and over how it's not a very good game, yet admits to having invested three playthroughs and more than 300 hours into it.... It boggles the mind.
January 10, 20205 yr Author Amazon has the main trilogy (ME, ME2, ME3) available for $12 on the PC. I prefer PC because of the great mod community. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009XDMQ0W

December 18, 20205 yr Somebody tell me about Mass Effect since I've never played any of the series before, and with the Remaster coming out in the spring, I think I'll jump into it. It should give me plenty of time to finish up with Mario Odyssey and start/finish BOTW. So tell me about the game, please tell me it's not super bloated like some of the Assassin's Creed games have been lately. How many hours to progress through the story of the trilogy? I heard Andromeda wasn't really that good, so is it skippable? l'm a sucker for good video game music and Interstellar is one of my favorite movies, and the ME series from what I've seen definitely gives off that kind of vibe. Can't wait.

Can't wait. So it's a sci fi third person shooter rpg. Play time can be shortened by not doing all the side missions and planets. You build/gather a team of fellow humans and aliens and all the characters are well written and likeable (for the most part). It was pretty revolutionary for it's paragon/renegade system which dialog and action choices you make give you "good" or "bad" points and have actual consequences in the game, and even the sequels. Playing as either side is completely viable too, so many people play through at least twice to try each side. You can also customize your character as either male or female and it affects a lot of the dialog and romance choices. Again a lot of this stuff is part of modern rpg like Witcher and Cyberpunk to where it's expected, but you have to understand that it's the Mass Effect series that set the standard and made this stuff an expected part of any great modern rpg. Basically a lot of the love comes from the deep characters, immersive world and story, and consequently the emotional connection you make with everyone in the story, and also the replayability (play as a different class with different weapon, different moral choices, different sex, different romantic partners) and I guess the hot alien sex. You can totally skip andromeda, it was an attempt at a spinoff that failed,
February 3, 20214 yr Between Mass Effect LE, eventual new ME game, and the new NCAA football game, I now have enough reasons to get a next-gen system. Very pumped about this one.
February 3, 20214 yr Author really curious about the ME1 changes regarding weapons and such. I guess I could see them keeping the overheating weapon aspect for just ME1. Whatever they do to the Mako, I know it will piss off a bunch of fans since it seems to be so divisive. Love that they are using ME3 femshep for all the games. I assume they'll do the same with Liara, though I wasn't as much of a fan of supermodel Ashley.

I assume they'll do the same with Liara, though I wasn't as much of a fan of supermodel Ashley. I really, REALLY, hope they don't add thermal clips to ME1. IMHO, the ability to spec your weapons to your style in ME1 was one of the game's best features. Want your weapon to fire endlessly without overheating? You can do that. Want a massively-powered shot that may mean you may need to wait two seconds or so before a your weapon is cooled down enough for another one? You can do that, too. Mass Effect took place in the future, in a vastly more advanced society. It made sense that they developed weapons systems that didn't require ammunition. Now the console "Simon Says" decryption minigame in ME1? Yeah, they can get rid of that bullshit and I doubt anyone would complain. Apparently my reflexes have declined just enough in 13 years that it takes me multiple attempts to do that damn thing (at least until I can scrap enough stuff to just Omni gel everything). I have heard all classes will be able to use all weapons. Unifying FemShep and the character creation options across all three is a nice touch. Edited February 3, 20214 yr by Dutch
February 3, 20214 yr as long as they remastered that abortion of an ending (no spoilers), i'm in for the nostalgia, i reckon. i never did get the dlc with the amended ending, i played through the original and felt too pissed and ripped off to want to download a slightly different ending.
February 3, 20214 yr Author I only played it about 2 years ago so I had all the dlc and have only had that ending, plus I installed a mod to skip all the minigames. I'm not sure there will be a lot of, or any story changes though I did see that they shot down the indoctrination theory.

February 8, 20214 yr I'm down. I know it's ME1-3, but will they be throwing in all the DLCs too? I really liked some of the Shadow Broker ones in ME2.

March 5, 20214 yr I enjoyed ME2 a lot. I can't remember how I felt about ME3 because the ending was such shit. ME1 was great once you got into it.
