Discount to Mass Effect Legendary for original owners?

Thanx for the response friend.

Not really my point though as I own the trilogy on Origin and my point was that not offering Origin trilogy owners even a cursory discount is a marketing gaff.

Thanx anyway.

I've bought the trilogy with all the DLC on Origin since June 2020 because it was cheaper to do so, so this feels especially *. I'll also match the move by buying Steam, not just because it gives less money to EA but also it should make it easier to play on a controller.

Yes very unfair for Origin Mass Effect 1,2,3 Owner especially Steam Mass Effect 3 owner get 17% and we just EA Play 10% -_- oh wait what is with EA Play on Steam and Mass Effect 3 owners? 27% I guess -_-

Honestly, if price is bothering you that much, then simply wait a year or so and let it go on sale for bunches off and buy it then.  I know that I am kinda interested in FarCry 6, but not all that much after FC5 and what I have seen, so it is on the wait until it is cheap list.  If you have to play a game on release, is 10 bucks, or a meal out at a fast food restaurant when not eating the value menus really that big a deal??  Yeah, it would be nice, but I also think Steam is offering it only to people who have bought ME3 within the last few months....about how long it has been on Steam, and thus kinda a kick back to people who bought a game just before something better comes out which includes the game.  I know I have had ME3 since release, and I don't really think I need a kickback on it since I have owned and played it through. 

Yeah, add me to the list. Should have a matching loyalty discount on your own store.

While I'm usually up for a good discount too, I think the full price should be paid in this instance if for no other reason that future projects in the Mass Effect universe have the proper funding to not turn into a "craptastic masterpiece."

(chuckling) I mean, maybe that money can be put towards better script writing. Remember the whole "My face is tired" nonsense from Andromeda?

Also, (and this is wishful thinking) that extra money can go towards implementing ME3 multiplayer for LE sometime after launch.

Keeping in mind they only really needed to massively update Mass Effect 1, far more than any of the other two versions.  I think the price they are charging for just remastering with ZERO new content is silly.  But really, your getting nothing, but a prettier game.  HALF the price would be at least semi-fair.  But, $60 for the same game you already have? No.  I love this trilogy, but I am tempted not to buy it.  They aren't even offering like per-purhcase goodies for buying the game sooner. Its so bad.

That's my problem with it as well.

...they don't offer anything new.

We don't get an improved ending,

we don't get the possibility to romance whoever we want, no matter the gender of our Shep, 

we don't get new content of any sort

we don't get a multi player

we don't get goodies

we *just* get a "prettier" version of a game we, admittedly love, but already own, at the same price as a brand new game.

And to be honest - a modded version of ME already gave me that without any additional money spent.

I want to show my appreciation for this game, but seeing that the publisher themselves don't do anything from their end -like giving a discount for loyal players- makes me wonder if I should buy it at full price.

If I do, they'll not learn from it & probably pull the same stunt again in the future.

If I don't, they'll think it's not worth it & not update any other of their older games.

But please - someone on here said something (I'm paraphrasing) about the devs getting part of the money... don't fall for that. They surely don't.

All the money you spend on this new version of the game is going to go to EA. There won't be any bonuses for good revenue for people who worked on bringing it to us.

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!
