  I envy anybody who hasn't played these before, they're amazing.

    I haven't played them purely because the total time I'd need to play the entirely trilogy puts me off. It's like the lotr of games.

      At least do the first one; it's by far and away the strongest and most fully-fledged RPG of the series and the main story takes about 20 hours.

        Oh that's not so bad. Can probably do that in a weekend or two. Are the sequels similar in length?

        @leonheart1: depends how much of a 'completionest' you are.. The follow up games are about 25hrs (no DLC - add another at least 8+hrs with that)

        Here is a great site to see how long games take to play through;

        Nice, first time I used text formatting.

      This game has a bit of replay value. First gameplay you might want to go full Paragon but the second playthrough, just for laughs, go full Jerk-ass Renegade Shephard and punch, shoot and kill anyone who gets in your way.

      There's also different character classes as well, I find being Infiltrator (recon class) the most enjoyable.

        Gnostikos on 09/03/2015 - 23:01

        Only the first game has actual replay value and is worth replaying.

        The skill tree in the first game is way more fleshed-out than in either of the sequels, and your skill allocations actually make a huge difference (especially if you do it wrong), and the weapons and ammunition types are highly upgradeable and come in a ton of varieties (as do the suits).

        In ME2 and ME3, it's just a matter of maxxing out your ammunition types for extra damage. Shields and health accumulate with each level up, and it's next-to-impossible to miss out on the incredibly obviously placed weapon upgrades in various levels.

        Heck it's next to impossible to miss out on anything in ME2 and ME3 as the levels are mere fenced-in playgrounds compared to the sprawling, alien surfaces you landed on in the first game.

        The Power Wheel pause screen was also sorely missed in ME2 and ME3; and rendered your squadmates virtually useless and more often than not, liabilities who simply just Leeroy Jenkins'd themselves to death. The move commands and squad powers couldn't be issued with much precision and having to rely on hard-bound keybindings that weren't really intuitive was frustrating.

        Mass Effect 2 and 3 did away with so much customisability and personalisation options, as well as becoming consolised to death, that they feel more like canonical games set in the same universe, done by different developers, than true sequels.

      All the games are worthwhile, depending on what you're after. Some people seem to judge them sequels harshly because they adopted a different style of RPG after the first one. Just because it doesn't meet the preferences of some, doesn't mean they're bad games. FWIW, the 3rd one is my favourite.

    Sometimes I wish I could just delete parts of my memory so I could play some of these games again for the 'first time'.

  It used to be there - several people I know bought it.
  If it disappeared, contact Gamersgate.

  hollykryten on 09/03/2015 - 14:06

  I see the page after logging in but there's no way to buy it. Have they run out of cd keys or has it been purchasing region locked?. I think it may be a case of the later.

  Refuse to buy anything origin (since they banned my account for a chargeback that never happened), no matter how good it is…

  I just recently (2 months ago) played the trilogy for the first time (thanks ozbargain for cheap deals!). It is so amazingly good! a downside is that everyone i know has already played it and no longer wants to talk incessantly about it - on the plus side, was able to get all the DLC and felt like i got the complete experience.

  What's funny is, when i first saw the game i thought it was just another tough guy shooter - I did not realise there was an option to play as a chick. The scripting and voice acting is unique to both, so it really is the most immersive experience i have ever had. You will not regret playing this game!!

  Its not a shooter. Action RPG

  • 

    scrimshaw on 09/03/2015 - 18:16

    It starts becoming more shootery with the 3rd game. At least, the multiplayer component of ME3 is pretty much a 3rd person shooter in coop mode.

  • 

    littleDealFish on 13/03/2015 - 11:22

    Yeah true, action RPG would probably describe better. There is a lot of fighting, but just as much role playing aspect if you go talk to all the characters/side quests. When i saw the box i thought it was a shooter, probably just me living under a rock :)

    It's different to a lot of other RPGS I've played though in that it's somewhat defined/linear (you play as one race, faction N7 etc) yet so diverse in its human aspect - play as female/male, gay/straight, evil/good - which i actually prefer. Makes the story a lot more powerful imo :) Only game i can think is comparable would be the Ultima series? (i also like bioware's baldurs gate and dragon age is on my list to play)

    Also, i think i might do another playthrough as it looks like there is a mod for 4k for the ME1!

  10.20 US for 3 games, 102+$ for all the DLC they keep from you and rarely discount.

  Bought these awhile ago but after searching for hours I can't fix the horrible mouse acceleration on ME1.
