See, I think the problem is that you think they are asking you to pay this at all. Ever occured this isn't aimed at you, like at all?
Really doesn't help that people are so cheap nowadays,

So the remaster is not aimed at previous customers? Meaning only new customers are supposed to get the nicely updated versions and the ones that made the franchise successful are supposed to shut the hell up and play their stupid old ugly versions? That is what you're saying, if you think about it. :golden: Nah, it is aimed at all players and old customers are simply expected to pay up, because EA knows this is a beloved franchise and quite a few of them probably will.

Discussing the validity of a price tag for a merely upgraded old game doesn't have anything to do with being cheap. I bought countless games like Edith Finch that offer a mere 2h experience for ~20 bucks, and I defended my decision just as many times. I think what you get with Edith Finch, Firewatch, Fidelio Incident and others like it is unique, well made and worth the money for me personally (while most peole argued that 20 bucks for 2h is so, so expensive). So when it comes to gaming, I am anything but cheap. Yet, in this case I feel 60€ is too much for what you get. Yes, it's a lot of hours. But it's also 3 older games, graphically updated with comparatively little effort, and most of us already have them anyway. I just don't think the price is justified.

Nah, you're interpreting it the way it pleases you, so you can justify your argument. Which is fine enough, I guess.
But in the grand scheme of things, remasters are usually giving another chance for aging games to be discovered by a new player base. Let's face it, the OG games are what... over 8 something years old? They have aged. Especially ME1, that really needed that modern touch for many things.

And I'm gonna have to disagree, being cheap has to do with it, cheap and entitled I would add. I see so many comments on here from people acting as if just because they purchased a product 8 years ago, they would be entitled by default to either a free product or a massive discount. I disagree with that. Strongly.
I own those games on Origin. I owned the OG, on both PS3 and Xbox 360. Do I feel like I am owed such a thing as a freebie or a huge discount? No. Why? Firstly because I understand that there is work to do. People act like rebalancing, adding new textures and modernizing game mechanics take a whole 5 minutes to do. It doesn't. It takes work. Would you like to be told your efforts isn't worth being paid as much? No you wouldn't. So why acting like this is any different?
And we ARE talking about 3 games having all that work put into them, and then including all the DLCs for those games, asking 60$ really isn't that big a deal.

Working in the marketing dept of EA/Bioware must be a delight.
$60 for games that not only we already have? I understand that having them in with new textures is great, but a remaster doesn't really convince me to buy it.
Also, Bioware really needs to do something, as they have lost so much good will from the fans, that I really don't think this price (and the related "offer") really improve that.

Sega gives uf Yakua 3-5 for 40 bucks. And it's remastered too.

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

It’s way to much for a game you don’t even own because it has xxxx drm walls around it

Okay asking in reverse...
What do you think an actually remake would cost you?
Yep you guessed right. 60 Bucks PER GAME(!) not 60 Bucks for THREE games.
So we are talking 20 Bucks per remastered game versus 60 bucks per remake.

You all seem to forget that a trillogy is THREE games not one.

Point flew above your head again. I'll try again :
Remake = game made from SCRATCH (aka doing the models, textures, coding from SCRATCH).
Remaster = visual/stat reworks, everything is often left as the original.

Like I said, one requires long-term work and I can see why it's full price. The other ? no. Full trilogy or not, because if it's just for visuals I'd rather keep playing my vanilla versions and worst case I'll just use mods to enhance the visual experience.

So what remakes are you seeing come out for less than $20 on release? I'd love to see that list...

[Warpsmith_GREW50ME]

too*

[Skry]

it's 3 games, each one 20+ hours long at least, plus all the available DLC's for even more hours.

easily can get out 70-80 hours of one of the best RPG trilogies ever made, it's basically an amazing deal for people who havent yet experienced mass effect, while still being a consideration for people who love the mass effect series and are fans of the games.

It's by no means meant for people who arent fans of the game and have already played it.

besides, if you're not interested in fancy graphics there's still the cheaper versions at a lower price, however if you buy them all + dlcs it'll cost you a bit

2 Good (but old) games, 1 pile of garbage* for 60$+, that's too expensive.

I think $60 for 3 remastered games that give you an insane amount of content to play is extremely fair. Sorry money is so tight for you.

3 games I already own that I guarantee won't be remastered further than a texture upgrade I can already get for free online. And Mass Effect 3 is so insultingly awful that it's not worth touching.

[Jean]

At this point I don't think anything is coming out without people whining at the price. Doesn't matter what the product is or who put it out. That... and the incels. Those damn incels ruining everything.

[V I D A L]

300 hours of gameplay across 3 full games.. I think the price is more than fair.

[SpawnCap]

120 GB. Glad I no longer have 1 mbps internet.

[Ari]

Wait... $60 is too much for all 3 games + all DLC? What? Lmao... man, people these days.
