To this day, Mass Effect is my absolute favorite game and my comfort game. When I start the first part and the music starts, it's like coming home. I was never a sci-fi fan, always into fantasy, but Mass Effect absolutely captivated me.

The Legendary edition has ruined the lightning and multiple VFX in cutscenes, especially in the first two games. We need to preserve the originals, this is top sci fi!

Incroyables moments passés sur cette trilogie emblématique du crpg. Des jeux propres, écrits avec talent, et qui ont la particularité d'être interdépendants, donc de beaucoup mieux s'enchainer que les Witcher par exemple (qui ont par ailleurs d'autres qualités). Souvenir impérissable, ont se demanderai presque la raison pour laquelle elle n'est pas arrivée plus tôt sur cette plateforme. Ces jeux font évidemment parti des indispensables, de même que leurs remakes.

I remember going to a friend's house and sitting in front of the TV. He hands me the xbox controller and tells me "You are gonna love this game". I spent the next 2 hours completely consumed in the game. As a sci-fin fan, this was the kind of game I had only dreamt of. It felt a bit Star Trek, a bit Star Wars, a bit Babylon 5 and with elements from so many other stories, but somehow, it felt truly unique. The trilogy had some low points, many of them in MS3, but I was one of the rare cases that enjoyed the original ending, it felt so appropriate and a subeversion of expectations. I also enjoyed the added endings. Many games have tried to get close to its charm, but in my book, no sci fi story in video games is better than the story of my Commander Shepard.
pls let it have all the DLCS with it i love mass effect and i truly want to own it on GOG so pls add it with all DLCS and i am so happy to see people remember this versen of this game and not the crap legends

The level of detail and depth in the characters and plot is one of the greatest in any franchise in videogame history, only a few like baldur´s gate and very few others are in the same league and i cannot think of any of those that can be considered better in that aspect. the crew is so fleshed out that they feel real, like friends, garrus, wrex or grunt would be terrific for a night in the bar drinking a beer in the real world. The point is, this saga is a point of reference in character creation and voice acting, discusing if the 1rst the 2nd or the 3rd is the better is pointless as the main plot and subplots are intertwined between the tree games and the franchise should be seen as a single game, therefore this edition with the complete trilogy should be preserved drm free for future generations of gamers and developers as a point of refference

It's just become apparent that Bioware is dead, with barely 100 people left to work on the next installment of Mass Effect. While I was originally pleased to see the Legendary Edition, the fact that you must be logged in to play it is typical of EA and I'd like to give it a hard pass. I never got the chance to own the originals and I'd like to just be able to install and mod it as I like. If there's one game I think gog should preserve for all time, it's this trilogy.

I gotta vote for this one because of the sheer audacity of preserving the entire trilogy. Don't get me wrong, I love Mass Effect, it was my true gateway drug to BioWare, what led me to buying all the other BioWare games already on GOG, like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, KotOR, and Dragon Age. Honestly, Mass Effect still has a HUGE following, especially when it comes to mods and fixes as the years go by, and I feel that that community would be better served in a place like GOG as opposed to EA.
I've always been a logical gamer. I mean that for me, no game is perfect. There is always something to damage the image, the feeling or the experience of a game. The Mass Effect trilogy changed my mind about it. I'm not saying that these games are perfect. I'm saying that after playing Mass Effect, I realized that a perfect game is not a game without any problem. It is a game that you love beyond its problems. I am aware of the criticisms: the gameplay of the first game, the end of the trilogy... And yet I come back to it at least every year since I played it for the first time. I've never been so much involved in a video game. The characters, the writing, the directing... It has always been hard for me to decide which was my favorite game, until I played Mass Effect. Being able to have it on GOG and own it for real would be absolutely awesome.

Mass Effect is still one of my favourite all time games. I still exist in fan fiction writing circles for the games and still live through the story. Its always amazing how much we aspire to good when we can.

Drakengard 2
Drakengard 2Drakengard 2 is a direct sequel to the original Drakengard: the story revolves around Nowe, a boy raised by the dragon Legna, fighting against a tyrannical faction of Knights, encountering characters from the previous game and becoming entangled in the fate of the world. Like the original, Drakengard 2 combines on-foot hack and slash with aerial combat stages and RPG game mechanics. The previous game's producer, writer and character designer returned to their respective roles. The game was designed as a more mainstream game in light of the previous game's dark aesthetic and story. The game sold 206,000 copies by the end of 2005. Western reviews praised the story, but gave mixed opinions about the graphics and widely criticized the gameplay.

Drakengard 3
Drakengard 3Drakengard 3 transports players to a medieval world where six goddess-like sisters known as "Intoners" have brought peace to the earth with their power to manipulate magic through song. Harmony is disrupted, however, when the eldest sister, Zero, attempts to murder her younger sisters with the help of her dragon companion, Mikhail. As the story progresses, players find themselves in a battle to unravel the mystery of Zero and learn her true intentions. A prequel to the original Drakengard, Drakengard 3 features the series’ signature brand of action, pitting players against hordes of fiends and foes in remorseless hack-and-slash ground combat, and then sending them soaring for pitched aerial battles on the back of the dragon Mikhail.

Drakengard
DrakengardDrakengard follows the story of a kingdomless prince named Caim who fights for the Union against the Empire. Under the Union's protection are the Hierarchs and the Goddess, currently Caim's sister Furiae, who is a human manifestation of one of the four seals that protect the world from being broken. As the game begins, Cain is fatally wounded in a battle with the Empire. Encountering a captured Red Dragon who is also near death, Caim makes a fateful choice. In exchange for both their lives, the Red Dragon and Caim will enter a pact. This pact will forever chain their lives to one another and link their souls, at the cost of something irreplaceable. Recharged with the fires of a Dragon, Caim's vengeance burns over the enemy... The player controls Caim on his quest. The game is separated into three distinct modes: Aerial combat, Ground combat and Event Combat. In Aerial Combat, Caim rides dragonback against a variety of airborne foes breathing fireballs (strong single shots and weaker multiple lock-on shots). The Dragon is agile and is able to evade incoming threats, turning around completely in a moment. In Ground combat, the game is shown in 3rd person though usually large, open areas. Controlling Caim, his primary ability is the use of a variety of weapons found on the battlefield. These are leveled up through continued usage, and specifically through the killing of individual enemies. Though magic (determined by weapon choice), timed attacks and evasion, Caim breaks through enemy armies. Characters recruited as allies by Caim can also be summoned during battles, steadily losing health until control is returned to Caim. In ground combat, Caim may also call forth his Dragon to ride and strafe enemies from the air. The Dragon's movements are generally the same as in aerial combat but more limited and less agile. Event combat is similar to Ground combat, but shown isometrically, restricted to a single weapon and without the aid of a dragon. It is used mainly to tell story sequences. Levels that have been visited before might become "Expedition Missions" which are optional and contain new objectives, enemies and weapons. Additionally, any level previously played in the storyline may be revisited at any time. Depending on Caim's choices (and prerequisites for those choices), there are five different endings to Drakengard.
