Just another guy with a retrospective look at my experience with Mass Effect Trilogy and what it meant to me.
I don't use a numbering system really because I find that's an unnecessary tradition that lends nothing to the review itself and isn't relevant but N4G insists...
... why the 9? Absolutely massive and great trilogy but there should have been incentive other than added DLC to make this purchase the one newcomers and current fans make. This seems strictly for collectors and those missing small pieces of the series and must have those gaps filled. There simply should have been some added Trilogy-only features thrown in, is all I'm saying.
Earlier this year, BioWare was hit with layoffs as part of a downsizing of parent company Electronic Arts, but fans have been reassured that the next Mass Effect game hasn’t been impacted. Likewise, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s development is still churning along, with BioWare putting it at the forefront of its focus and rumors suggesting that it could launch sometime later this year. Fans might be getting another look at the long-in-development Dragon Age: Dreadwolf at the Summer Game Fest in June.
If the recently posted job offering for a temporary development manager is any indication, BioWare could have yet another surprise up its sleeve for when Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are nearing completion. This mystery BioWare video game could truly be anything, from another spin-off of its two major properties to something entirely new. All there is to go on at the moment is a vague mention in the job posting, and it might still be some time before BioWare is ready to confirm any new games in its pipeline.
So a studio that spent years on anthem then this dragon age thing is now also working on another ip along with mass effect,
You think they would be worried that there brand has been on 3 major screw ups
Dragon age 3 launched broken with the frostbite engine yes its a good game but you can see in the late game how rough it was
anthem......
Mass effect 4 well that dev team was fired so yeah.....
They should make sure this new dragon age is a goat instead of putting more work on the table
How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.
Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"

I just got this game last week. I haven't been able to play as much as I would like to, but from what I have played, I have fell in deep with this game. it's so fun I couldn't believe it i didn't play it sooner. I'll give this game a 9/10 it would have been 10/10, but it froze on me.
The trilogy and the books are amazing. Without any doubt, the greatest new franchise to come out this gen. The Mass Effect universe has so much potential to reach Star Wars level. Can't wait to see what Bioware has in store for us next gen.
All the DLC should have been included is all im saying, beings its not, this Trilogy pack is not worthy of anywhere close to a 9, Ive give it a 6 thats it.
Considering the way it was marketed by EA as the "Ultimate" Mass Effect experience, not including the DLC makes that statement less than true, but im not surprised, its EA afterall.
If im a newcomer to this series or a fan , im disappointed in EA's "business" decision to not include the DLC with this Trilogy.
I personally wouldnt purchase this, but that's my opinion, to each his own.
