      I’m a sucker for bundles like these. They’re awesome when you own the games on other or older platforms, or prefer to have them digitally.

      I’m also jealous of people who’ve never owned these games and other bundles like it. They get to experience something for the first time. And no waiting between games like we had to.

      The other day I saw a bundle on PlayStation that had both Skyrim and Fallout 4 in it. Both of those I put 500+ hours into. Can you imagine being the guy who’s never played them? That bundle is going to consume their life for the rest of the year if they let it.

        That would be me! Your comment made me buy the bundle. I never played any of the Mass Effect games. Truth be told, I have no idea what they are even about 😄

          I’ll just say: that ‘legendary’ in the title is well-earned. These are some of the best RPG’s ever made in my opinion, certainly when you consider the era they were made in.

          They have great characters and writing that sucks you in. You’ll really grow to love some of the characters, especially when you’re spending that amount of time with them. It might be a slower experience than some people prefer, but I really like taking the time to enjoy a good story.

          Seeing this post about the sale made me check out the Wikipedia article about the game, since I never knew anything about it either. After reading that I’m pretty much sold on it. For a few dollars it’s worth a try.

        I think waiting between Mass Effect 1 and 2 should be mandatory. It’s extremely jarring to finish the first one, and then immediately start playing 2.

        But yeah, you cannot pass up this deal. There’s some decent mods for it too.
