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, on se demanderait 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

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.

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'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.

Lost Odyssey
Lost OdysseyLost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.

Parasite Eve II
Parasite Eve IIParasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name. Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.

Wild Arms XF
Wild Arms XFWild Arms XF is a 2D turn-based tactical role-playing game, creating a gameplay experience somewhere between Dungeons & Dragons and chess. Players are given control of a small squad of characters (six or less) and placed on a grid-based map resembling a geographical location (a swamp, a town, a river), upon which they fight battles to progress through the game. As with most T/RPGs, positional advantage can be critical to victory, and players are encouraged to outmaneuver their enemies as well as outgun them. The game emphasizes positioning and maneuvering by the inclusion of "Formation Arts," which increase attack damage when an enemy is surrounded by your characters in a line, a triangle or a circle. Wild Arms XF is a member of the small subsection of T/RPGs whose battlefields are based around hexagonal tiles instead of squares. "Combination Arts" return from previous Wild ARMs titles, allowing characters to target an enemy in a waiting state and then deliver their attacks simultaneously with the next ally to attack their target. If the player succeeds in executing an uninterrupted series of commands, the damage inflicted upon enemies will increase significantly. On the other hand, the enemy gets the same advantage.

Xenogears
XenogearsXenogears follows protagonist Fei Fong Wong and several others as they journey to uncover the truth behind mysterious, cabalistic entities operating in their world. The principles and philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung influence the plot, character design, and world of Xenogears. Additionally, the symbols, theological concepts, and devotional practices of several world religions are represented in fictionalized forms in the game. Major psychological themes are the nature of identity and human memory, particularly as these relate to the phenomenon of dissociative identity disorder. The relationship between humanity and machines is central to the game's plot, as indicated by the presence of giant robots dubbed "gears," which almost each playable character can control.
