First time with the franchise.
Already bought Andromeda because I will go through the whole franchise in May.

I played through all 3 games on PC. Played through ME1 twice. I sunk the most time into ME2 (played all the DLC).
I did take my time getting to ME3 though...I was annoyed at the time it wasn't on Steam lol.

I tried the first one on 360 (borrowed a friend's copy), really enjoyed all the conversation-y intro stuff that was going on, and then got to the first combat encounter and all my AI allies kept running in and dying, leaving me to die, too, with no backup left. As far as I was able to determine at the time, it seemed like they were perma-dead, so I tried again. After about 3 rounds of this, I decided the game was far too hard for me and gave up.
I keep hearing they are amazing games, though, and I'm sure that I must have somehow misunderstood what was going on in that encounter. It's the first combat in the game, and the series to my knowledge has not built a reputation off of its difficulty, so I'd like to try it again.

I played the first two and DLC, but never grabbed the 3rd one. I was always curious about it. But I then grabbed a Wii and started playing less story based games, and started focusing more on arcade-like titles, and then just never finished the series. Super Mario Galaxy was so fun that it sort of broke my interest in "immersive" types of games for a very long time. In fact, that interest never fully recovered.
But I may be willing to give the trilogy another shot at the right price.

Went over to a friend's house, they showed me Mass Effect for the first time and then proceeded to never finish the first game. Meanwhile that small taste I got was enough to be hooked, I became a lifer.
Played the first one in 2010 I think, and fell in love instantly.
Picked up the 2nd in 2011, and loved that as well.
Before the 3rd one was released, I replayed the first two, and subsequently was burnt out when I got to the 3rd one, only played a few hours.
A few years later, I played them all back to back, put in over 150 hours total over a few weeks and goddamn, what a great time to be alive!
All in all, I think I've been through ME2 the most because while the story of the first game is better, the gameplay in 2 is just sublime. I'd wager I've been trough ME2 somewhere around 6-7 times, ME1 about 4 times and ME3 I've played through 2,5 times.
I'm excited for May!
Oh, and all games on PC, with and without mods

As a sidenote, I bought a new gaming laptop for ME:A, and quite enjoyed it!
Never cared much about the first game because it was on 360 and i had a PS3. Played ME2 on a whim in 2011 and loved it, played 1 & 3 afterwards when they came to PS3 in 2012. Replayed the whole trilogy in early 2019 again on PS3.
Played and finished Mass Effect 1 6 Times on Xbox 360 and 3 Times on PC.
Finished Mass Effect 2 12 Times on PC.
Finished Mass Effect 3 2 Times on PC.
Dabbled with the collection on PS3 but did not finish a single game.
Never finished Andromeda.
Will buy the Collection Day1 on PS5 and finish them all again.

Bought and love ME and ME2 on release for 360. ME3 released when I was in college, and I didn't really game much then so I have yet to play it. Looking forward to checking them out again
Where is the option for I've played all three games multiple times on multiple systems and even modded all my ME games on PC to replay them again?
Question: Why do you always pick the same choices even though this is your 13th playthrough?
😄
I played through the trilogy on 360 back in the day. I beat most of the ME 1 DLC, all of the ME 2 DLC and didn't touch any of the ME 3 DLC due to hating the ending.
I'm excited to go through everything this time and experience 3 with a different perspective now that time has passed

All 3 games, all DLC, PC.
Some of the graphical changes have me worried, but I like what I'm hearing about the gameplay changes. ME is one of my favorite franchises so bar the collection coming out with insane bugs/crashes I'm definitely getting it.
It'll be interesting to compared the graphics to the modded original games.

I played Mass Effect 1 & 2 at least 20 times each although i had a habit of repeating my choices just because i loved the characters. I've only played Mass Effect 3 once and i was enjoying it until that ending, it really just killed my opnion on the game. I did intend to replay it once they brought out that big update but for some reason i never did.
I bought Andromeda on launch but only ended up getting around halfway before giving up...
Can't wait to get back and make all the same choices again!

I've played all three on Xbox 360, ps3, and multiple times on pc, even once on Xbox one x through bc though I didn't finish 3. I only own all dlc on 360 and pc.
I'm a huge ME fan with tshirts, posters, collectors editions, books all that jazz. I even enjoyed Andromeda and own it on all systems.
Already preordered Legendary edition on console and will buy it for pc at some point.

I played the ME2 demo on PS3 and was really interested in the series. But, since the 1st game wasn't available, I never played it. I've been waiting for a remastered trilogy bundle for a while, and am REALLY excited to finally play this series!
I own all 3 on 360. I never got off the Citadel in ME1 and thus never saw the rest of the series.
I then bought the trilogy for PS3 for like 4.99 in some sale and again never left the Citadel in ME1.

I tried to play 1, but hated how it controlled. Played 2 and did literally everything in the game. Same with 3. Stoked to finally play 1 as it should have been.
I've played all three and loved them. But I've played each of them several times. I don't know if I feel like playing them all over again. I could never get through Andromeda.
I got into the series on PC a few months before ME3 launched.
I basically only played the base games, and 3 with From Ashes since it came with the special edition of the game. I was a broke college student back them and the weird setup the DLC had with having to buy directly from Bioware and it being rarely, if ever, on sale kept me from buying any of it. So this will be my first time experiencing pretty much all of that, including the extended cut ending, which I missed because I finished ME3 long before it released.

I was and remain very interested in the franchise. However, anytime I started playing Mass Effect 1, I lose interest pretty quickly because of the stiff character animations and bland voiceovers and characters. It bored me to tears.
Everyone who says Mass Effect 2 is one of the best games of all time, I believe them, but my OCD won't let me skip ME1 and so far I haven't been able to get invested enough in the first game.
I'm excited to play Legendary Edition, but it will absolutely be the last chance I give the series.

I have all three collectors editions on 360 (managed to get the first one signed by Mark Meer, too!). Played them, and all DLC, there. Many, many times :)
I've played through ME1 a bunch of times, and each of the sequels through once. Never played any of the paid DLC for any of the games, and since EA has kept them ludicrously expensive to buy over the past decade, I'm mainly interested in playing those through for the first time.
Where is the choice of playing all 3 in order on the 360 about 10 times? (Varying levels of DLC per run)
