@Funkyflab I strongly recommend you pick up Andromeda on sale and give it a spin. If you go in without expecting too much, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Just keep in mind MEA is for Ryder what Shanxi/Torfan/the Skyllian Blitz was for Shepard.
@Investor9872 There is no 4k-friendly release of the Commander Shepard Trilogy, only Andromeda received has that treatment so far. The Mass Effect Trilogy release just put all the discs and their pack-in DLC in a single product, and the only current-gen console it's playable on is XBox One via backwards compatibility. This Remaster would presumably bring the Trilogy to Playstation 4 as well as XBox One without Emulation, as well as the Switch, and I wouldn't be shocked if it also shows up on PS5 and XBSX as well.
Most important of those being, of course, the Switch release. Also we can reasonably expect it to include all of the DLC of all three games (except possibly Pinnacle Station due to lost/corrupted source code) instead of that costing an extra $50-100 bucks.
@Kang81 Mass Effect Trilogy was sold not so long after ME3 came out, it was $60 for all three titles and their pack-in DLCs, but did not inlcude most DLC (which totaled an extra $111 across all three titles on XBox, with cheaper bundles or more packed-in (or missing) DLC reducing the total cost of all DLC on PC and PSN, and which now can be bought in bundles on Origin for $25 (ME2) + $30 (ME3) with ME1's DLC included in both Steam and Origin versions free. (Also both DLC bundles are on sale for under ten bucks right now.)
Considering the current pricing and sales-of-indeterminate-length of the DLC on PC right now, I expect a remastered trilogy to have all DLC baked in, not just price-included, at a $60 price point. And I expect it will do gangbusters. The only real question is if it will inlclude Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer or not, and if that will have the original pack-selling microtransactions or not. I expect the answer to be yes to both, and hope it is at least yes to the first.
@Elvie The ending delivers just fine so long as you have the Extended Cut DLC installed (which presumably will be baked into this release.) It may not be perfect, but it's fine — and remember, journey before destination. And oh, what a journey it is.
Just keep these in mind: 1) You cannot save everyone. 2) Some things are worth dying for.
