Discount to Mass Effect Legendary for original owners?

No discount for those of us that played since the beginning? I bought all the games and all the DLC and I have to pay full price? Even a small discount code sent by email would be appreciated.

While the visual improvements are certainly among the most visible changes being made, I'd definitely be remiss if I didn't point out there were a number of gameplay and systems changes as well.

While the first Mass Effect is definitely most heavily impacted, changes were made to all three games in the trilogy. Those changes may not be as drastic as some hoped for, but a lot more effort went into this than just converting everything to 4K.

That's not to minimize any of the feedback here, as it's perfectly reasonable to look at the changes made and decide on a personal level whether those are enough to pull the trigger on the Legendary Edition at this point or not. I just want to be sure all that additional work done by the developers isn't overlooked. 🙂

Thanks for all the continued discussion, folks!

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.

Combat in ME2 was the best of the three IMO. So, now it will be removed and replaced with some completely new combat system? Likely more akin to ME3? I don't like that.

The majority of the changes are going to be graphical with minor tweaks to a few things. And this should warrant $60? I ALREADY own the game. I can make the graphics much better already with ALOT, and game tweaks with mods.

Why should I pay full price for something I already have?

I love the game... But unless there's a substantial discount for existing FAITHFUL customers, I likely won't be purchasing it. I don't think what few changes there are over what I already have warrants the cost of another full game.
