Wild. So all these complete editions won't be complete for long. Ars Technica said it's $7.99 on GOG right now, so that's a heck of a cheap way to get into the game if one were so inclined.

Not quite as good as paying $6 for the Mass Effect trilogy, remastered, with all the DLC, and the loot box shit from ME3 stripped out... but not bad either.

    There's about as much game in Witcher 3 as in all three Mass Effects combined, so it's still a very good deal.

    I don't doubt it. Mass Effect 1 was short — anyone who says otherwise spent time exploring planets and doing stuff they were told was important but wasn't. You don't even get achievements for collecting all the ores, relics, and whatever else we were collecting in surveys and in those downed satellites we wasted skills to unlock. I think, at most, it was XP. Mass Effect was the original Eden Prime mission, the time on the Citadel, the three planets the council sends you to, that beach one where spoilery stuff happens, the last world, and then the final fight. 2 and 3 made you do a bunch of stuff to have the resources to complete the game with everyone surviving (more or less — you had to really set up Spoiler and Spoiler both surviving in Mass Effect 3, from the first one).

    I wish they hadn't stripped out the entire multiplayer mode in the remaster. It was surprisingly enjoyable (minus the lootbox mechanic)

    My guess is, they just didn't want to keep the servers up. I got Mass Effect 4 (Andromeda) at deep discount, but it came with multiplayer bonuses. I didn't realise I could have saved $1 ($4 vs $3) to skip those bonuses. And the servers are offline. So, oops. Shame on Xbox for selling multiplayer packs for a game with multiplayer shut down, but $4 for Andromeda isn't bad.
