Given the frequency with which those stances are expressed by fans on the internet, perhaps that's why Mass Effect: Legendary Edition was so comfortable with the decision to cut Mass Effect 3 multiplayer from its offerings. Mass Effect 3 multiplayer was divisive at launch and remains that way today, with players often occupying one of two extreme stances on it: it's either one of the most underrated multiplayer modes of the last decade or it's a terrible, tacked-on experience that offers little to anyone engaged with it. While gutting a gameplay mode from a collection like Mass Effect: Legendary Edition sounds confusing on paper, in practice it's at least a little more complicated. In a report from PC Gamer, BioWare's Mac Walters elaborated on how the collection will remove Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, stating that problems in cross-play, bridging generational gaps, and the amount of effort required to institute the multiplayer all factored into the decision to cut the gameplay mode from the title. That's what makes the revelation that Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is cutting Mass Effect 3 multiplayer altogether so divisive - fans were ill-prepared for the collection to actively remove parts of the trilogy's gameplay.

Following what many consider to be the most disappointing entry into the franchise in Mass Effect: Andromeda, a return to what first sparked interest in the RPG space drama with Shepard's legendary exploits could be a nice refresher prior to any discussion of the next new Mass Effect game. While Mass Effect: Legendary Edition was a poorly kept secret in the buildup to its announcement, it's still been an exciting topic of discussion for fans of the Shepard saga. Mass Effect: Legendary Edition collects all three entries into the original trilogy under one umbrella and will enhance graphics, improve gameplay elements, and re-balance or fix other issues in an attempt to make the new collection the best way to experience the series. With the official reveal of the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition release date comes more information about the project, and the controversial decision to remove Mass Effect 3 multiplayer entirely has re-ignited a long-running debate among fans about the quality of that gameplay mode experience.
