    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.

        Wow that’s insane.

        I used to play and replay Mass Effect 1-3 all the time with all the DLC and it would take me about 30 hours per game.

        How long to beat has a completionism run on TW3 at 175.

        Nice.

      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.
