Prior to last year, my OH had never had any experience with Bioware, until I introduced him to Dragon Age. Now, we're coming close to the end of Dragon Age Inquisition, and we have a couple of other games cued up. At some point though, I want to introduce him to the Mass Effect series. 

 

I have:

Mass Effect, on steam

Mass Effect 2, on origin

Mass Effect 3, on PS3.

 

So, if we start playing it at our earliest convenience, the story is never going to be the most personal. I never actually played the first one myself, so I played 2 and 3, and never had the personal element. 

 

I've also heard mumblings of a remastered trilogy on next gen consoles, and we have a PS4. My understanding though is that nothing has been confirmed, and that this is just rumors at the moment. 

 

So, do we wait it out and hope for a remastered trilogy so as to maximize the personal element of the franchise, or do we play it at our earlier convenience on different platforms, with less connection between each part of the story?

 

EDIT: I know the logical answer would be to rebuy them all on a single platform, though my understanding is that PS3 doesn't have them all, and I don't play games on the PC much, and not sure my PC would run the 3rd game.

If its of any comfort in the PC area of things, Mass Effect 3 only requires hardware from around 2008-2009 (Im sure thats about right for a Core 2 Duo system with a Nvidia 9800GT and 4-5GB RAM), if you have anything above that i see no reason for it not to run smoothly for you IF you decided to buy the games all for PC. .

 

EDIT:   You know, i didnt know the PS3 had the whole trilogy for it...  http://www.amazon.co...y/dp/B00AAT4S1I

The third game is less demanding than the first. Just buy ME3 on Origin (70% off right now, only 6 €).

 

A Remastered Trilogy could be years away or might not happen at all.

So the dilemma has changed completely now lol, I remember playing ME2 on PC, and it worked, but I had to set the graphics really low, probably because I'm using on-board graphics card from about 3 years ago (like I say, not a regular PC gamer so never invested in a decent card) and 1920x1080 res. So the PS3 version is likely to be graphically better, but also much more expensive - I noticed the sale, too, and it's really cheap!! £3.... I can't even buy 3 tubes of pringles for that... that said, the deluxe edition is a lot more, so I'll need to factor that in. 

 

Anyway, this is a decision for me to go away and think about. Thanks for your replies, they've helped me further along the line and at least it looks much more like being able to play the whole lot on one platform is much more within reach now :-)

Try the ME3-Demo on your PC before you spend your hard-earned money.

I just started playing me recently, too.  If you have a good enough pc then pc is your first choice.  With some texture mods and fxaa setting with your graphic drive it just doesn't look like a 2007 game at all.  And with all that setting I can run it at 60fps on a laptop so you can probably run it too.
