thanks as always for watching. let's fight: who's your favorite Mass Effect character and WHY

9 years later and Garrus is still in the middle of those calibrations.

Another episode of “After you buy” that show where you watch to reaffirm your purchase.

Replaying the series is like seeing old friends after years.

I just got done playing through the entire trilogy for the first time and i was blown away. I couldn’t put it down. Skyrocketed to my top 10 favorite game series for sure. I hope we get this Bioware back one day.

Whose my favorite character? Garrus Vakarian What's my favorite thing about mass effect? Garrus Vakarian

ME holds a special place in my heart. ME1 was the first modern A-list game I was set to learn (at the age of 58). Now that I am fully retired, I spend much of my time playing games. I've been so looking forward to this edition. As far as my favorite character, I think it is Garrus. I keep hearing him in other games and he is still Garrus in my mind.

Never played a mass effect game. Now that it's on ps+ for free is the perfect time to do so

I played this trilogy for the first time during lockdown last year, my wife has been a huge fan forever. I am now obsessed. To other newcomers to the series, don't hesitate! Simply one of the best sci-fi experiences across some of the best rpgs I've ever played. Bought a new xbox purely to play the legendary edition.

This is gonna have the best _"I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite game on Steam."_ Steam review.

I sincerely envy those who are going to be playing this for the first time.

I feel compelled to mention that playing all three games with all the extra dlcs makes that last party on the citadel amazing and totally worth the time and effort needed to get everyone there

How could i completely miss this series? I am 28 yo and its beyond me how have i ever not try to play it... Im loving it so far

Can’t wait to play this game and more or less make the same decisions I made the first time around... 🤣

Favorite character? He is the very model of a scientist salarian...

ME2 is still one of my favorite games of all time. The characters you actually care about... the quirks like the Jack romance thing - just made this world and characters feel so real.

With ps plus making this free now, I’m about to embark on this trilogy for the first time. Heard a lot about it over the years. Finally I’ll get to play it. Wish me luck.

I am actually watching a before you buy video before I’ve actually bought it, this is very rare for me

"Get back to the ship, we'll bang ok?"

2007 will forever go down as one of the best years in gaming for storytelling. Getting to replay this with better visuals will be an amazing experience.

This series has it all, from fantastic story telling to an incredible soundtrack. Even the spin off novels by Drew Karpyshyn were good.

“Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.”

I feel bad for gamers who were to young to remember when these games came out. These were a true experience, an unforgettable story that only a few games ever reach

The amount of new Rule-34 art that this is going to inspire will itself be legendary.

PlayStation player here, so this will be my first time playing the whole series.. very very excited!

“You may never see them again. Or you could just have sex with them.” Same thing, right?

Welp, time to do Renegade Shepard again, those hostages aren't going to shoot themselves.

After all these years, one rule still applies: Once you go blue, nothing else will do.

This is a top 5 game series for me. I absolutely loved Mass Effect. I was legitimately sad when it was over. This is the only game series where I wish I could wipe my memory and play again

having a spaceship under your command was really underrated in Mass Effect

"Garrus? After all this time?" "Always"

Mass effect and Dragon Age will always be two of my favorite games ever. I hope Bioware will also make a legendary edition of Dragon Age one day. Or at least a remake/remastered of Origins and 2.

Went through ME1 thanks to it being free now and I can say I’m now playing the whole series through and hooked.

I remember always hearing about this game when I was younger, my parents couldn't afford to buy us games. now as an adult, I can't wait to finally play it!

Anyone else here just watching this BYB video as a formality?

It felt good experiencing this series for the first time...to be able to see what happens next back to back was amazing...had a really touching lasting appeal to me

One thing I always liked about the Mako sections in ME1 is that they helped the worlds feel big without needing them to have to actually be big (there's only room for one game as big as Just Cause 2, and Just Cause 2 already left the seams heavily stretched).

I envy every single one of you who gets to experience this absolute masterpiece for the first time

I'm glad I waited for this collection to actually play all three of them. I never played them before.

Without watching the video the only thing you need to know about mass effect legendary edition before you buy it is that you should have already bought it.

For those that didn't get to grow up with this series this is a great release. Really happy to see Bioware comeback and try to reinvest the new consumer to its product.

Just want to say thank you for the reliability of this channel. Every time I have the urge to check for something new, I find at least one new video. You deserve the engagement on these videos, so here it is😁

This was one of my favorite games when I was younger I remember when 3 came out i was so excited to finally have a conclusion to this massive story now I can replay this game in it’s entirety with better graphics! Can’t wait haha

I'm just madly in love with Tali, I wish they added more romance options into the first game

"Making massive decisions along the way that are actually hard choices that may affect the world or some of your characters in your party to the point that you may never see them again or you can just have sex with them..."

I had mass effect on my grandpas pc, I started playing it when I was really young, and enjoyed it a lot, but I only played the first one and I didn’t really care about the story, because I was so young; but a lot of years later I saw the game somewhere and I really wanted to play it again, for real this time; but I couldn’t buy it and I didn’t have a lot of time to play it, so I forgot about it. Some time later, this edition was released, and since then I’ve been dying to get it, but sadly I couldn’t afford to spend that money… imagine how happy I was when I saw the game on this month’s list of ps plus games! Been playing it nonstop since, I just finished the second game, I’m loving the trilogy so much, I’m sad that I’m already on the last one, so I jumped on KZfaq to see vids about the game.

About to play this for the same time thanks to you guys in the comment section; had no idea it was even a trilogy until I downloaded it. So far I can tell it's going to be a special experience, the music, the atmosphere it just seems unique. Thank you.

I'm excited. This will be the first time I played the Mass Effect series.

"Before you Buy" Me who has beaten all 3 mass effect games repeatedly: **puts it on my wishlist** what was that?

As someone who normally likes ME1 and loves ME2 and ME3, I’m loving ME1 right now. Little things like not having to crouch to go to cover, improved HUD, and improved reticle bloom really go a long way to improve the experience.

Just bought mine today! going to pick it up in a few hours. 😀 Remember being about 10 years old playing the first one, such a magical game. So keen to glue my eyes to it. ❤️

I'm Commander Shepherd and this is my favorite review on the citadel.

Nearly a decade later, who's love is still true blue?

Doing my research because it’s listed at 6 USD right now!

ME2 will always be one of my top rpg ever, i got so emotinal invested in that game, crazy.

You have no idea how excited I am for this. Idk how, but this game series passed me by. And I was all about the 360. I love sci fi, and I love RPGs. And somehow, I just never got around to this. I feel like I have this huge, life changing adventure ahead of me.

Excited for tonight to play through Mass Effect 1 for the first time.

Thanks PlayStation now I can finally play this series, still had to come here to see what Jake has to say 🤣

I absolutely love the mass effect trilogy here! I never played mass effect when the games (trilogy) originally came out and I’m actually happy I waited for this version. It’s a beautiful series and everyone should play it. I also really didn’t mind andromeda, I think it deserves a little more love

Gameranx posts new video : Nobody : Can it wait for a bit I'm in the middle of some calibrations

10 th time playing through the series, 11 starts tonight lmaoo

It’s the first time I’m playing through Mass Effect with this edition and I have to say I’m only 7hrs into the first one but I’m loving every minute, I can see why everyone is saying it’s a masterpiece because it truly is

I hope I enjoy these. I've only played a few minutes of Mass Effect 3 when I was at a friend's house. Maybe this'll be something else we can bond over

It was never a question of if I was going to buy the game, but rather, a question of whether Gameranx likes the game.

Extra points for putting that sequence in ME1 at the end of the video, the build up of the music and the way it starts soaring as you discover the Citadel behind the clouds is one my most memorable moments in video games and always give me the chills. It's so good to be back 😢

Jake and Falcon have slowly become my favorite KZfaq creators

Honestly, I played a couple minutes of Mass Effect on PC before the Legendary Edition came out and I liked it but never finished it. Then one day, out of nowhere, I was at a GameStop and bought a copy for my PS4. Then it sat there and I recently finally decided to sit down and play it. And I'm loving it. A family friend told me it gets insanely better, so, I'm hyped.

6:35 “I AM OMEGA” Forever burned into my memory

My #1 RPG of all time, so happy they did this

My favorite thing was the amount of Lore and Detail in the characters and species. I remember playing part one when I got it for $20 when Circuit City went out of business it was an amazing game.

Just picked the legendary collection up yesterday and watching this makes me so excited to play this trilogy for the first time. I've heard so much about Mass Effect and this edition looks fantastic!!!

The fact that I got all parts as they were originally released and played through all of them and loved them and now I have 12 and 8 year old sons who are excited for this, only exudes a type of happiness that true gamers who have been lucky enough to pass on the joy of gaming can understand.

All these years later and I cant wait to romance Tali again.

The only gripe I have is that there are so many new bugs sometimes I have to reload full sections just because either the a button doesn't want to work or the camera gets stuck facing the opposite direction of Shepherd. Sometimes I legit get stuck in walls .

I first bought mass effect back in 2007 when I was 15. Bought the 2nd at 18 in 2010 and 3rd at 19 in 2011. Now nearly 30 this franchise has aged very well and its like reliving those good old days

I’ve never played mass effect but i’m pretty hyped to finally see what all the fuss was about

Can't wait to see Marauder Shields again. The true hero of the saga.

Kotor is probably my all time favorite game. I also really enjoyed Jade Empire. I never got a 360 because that’s about the time I left for the navy, but I’ve always wanted to play mass effect. When I saw the legendary edition on game pass, i immediately started the download. Needless to say, I am THOROUGHLY enjoying this trilogy on my series X.

So many great memories playing and beating all 3 of these games. I have the legendary edition as it were free on Playstation Plus. Definitely going to get back into it, one of my all time favorite series.

“A mediocre version of myself.” So basically just myself.

The amount of time i've replayed Mass Effect, Skyrim and Saints Row making multiple characters may be half of my entire life lol

I’ll if anybody notice but your character and captain walk in sync when on your way to a hearing with the council 🤣 it’s hilarious

Never played Mass Effect, but always see it mentioned on this channel as a great game. Excited to try it out eventually and see what the hype is about

I remember simping so hard for Tali that I went out and bought ME2 again because I found out you can't romance her in ME3 if you didn't have the save files of 2.

Tonight will be tge first time ever playing this trilogy! I'm excited

Just got this for Christmas. Super excited to jump in for the first time to the series!

the way you do reviews is wonderful...no unnecessary nonsense, no forced lame jokes, just straight to the point. Gotta love it.

Mass effect 2 is probably my favorite game of all time. I can't wait to play this series again!

I’m gonna experience mass effect for the first time through this, wish me luck bois

I started playing this game for the first time about a month ago. I liked the 3rd one the most. The graphics and the storytelling in my opinions was the best. There were emotional moments that were really done well. Overall, This game is one of a kind.

THE best trilogy of all time!

Now new people can fall in love with the series like we all did years ago

Favorite thing about mass effect is how grounded in reality it is for a sci-fi. Just like one of my favorite TV shows The Expanse.

So I’m one of those that has never played Mass effect and just got the legendary edition even though they’re all on game pass and well: Part 1 started off really cool and overwhelming and once the story got started and I started meeting the other characters I was hooked. I’m a 43 year old gamer and the only game I felt I was this connected to was the original final fantasy 7. This game has me laughing at the dialogue and I truly feel like I’m the commander of the Normandy. I can see why it’s been praised as much as it has. I’m in the beginning of mass effect 2 and was so happy to run into Garrus. Cannot wait to play more tomorrow.

I am considering playing Mass Effect now. Thank you for making this video which will help me consider if it's really for me. I'm very hyped now. I love space and sciencefiction ❤️❤️❤️❤️

When you mentioned that some characters look different, and then flashed the capt’s face around 4:00, I burst out laughing... lol. Love all the work y’all do. Keep it up!

Me: Does not mess with the male Shepherd's default face, it's canon to in my eyes. Also me: Spend 2 hours working on fem Shep's face until I can finally quote Magneto's "Perfection!"

I just got this. I played ME1 a little off and on when I was young. Back then I couldn't get into all the questions aspect of it. I just kinda flew through them. I'm looking forward to getting into this trilogy again. I remember very little about it, tbh.

Looks crisp! But is there still an option for film-grain and motion blur?

anyone else notices that in that scene where you first meet Miranda, Shepard had on weapon mods (The glowing bits around his gun), something that was introduced in 3 in terms of visual representation.
