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.
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
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.
