Maybe it's a metaphore for the ending of 3.
Should've called the achievement for finishing 3 "But in the end it doesn't even matter"
Jokes aside, I can't wait for this.
Looks a lot easier.
I wonder how that'll work on the PlayStation version, as I assume it'll be a platinum per game. Maybe a DLC trophy?
How does this translate to trophies? Is it one list? Or are we getting 3 platinum trophies, just like The Uncharted Collection?
ME1's have been revised. The new list is much easier and seems doable in a single playthrough, which was impossible in the original game.
You ever played ME 2 or ME 3 on Insanity difficulty?
Only ME1. Fucking brutal. The hoppers. THE HOPPERSSSSSS.
Also that part where you're locked in a room with a buncha Krogans, god help you.
I'm guessing it'll be a platinum per game, and then the shared game trophies will just be optional DLC ones.
It's probably 2915 cause it's missing the multiplayer achievements? Idk cause it should count the dlc ones too?
I had no problem doing Insane ME1 and 2. But the Insane Banshees in ME3 back in Earth right before the end of the game... fuuuuuck that. THAT was insane. Did it once. No more.
Yup that was the worst, even compared to the Collector Ship in the middle of 2 which I remember as being an extremely tough part on Insanity
I thought the list was pretty tame until the end there. I've never beaten a Mass Effect game on Insanity
The original Mass Effect 1 has achievements that gave bonuses in game (kill x enemies with a weapon to get an achievement and also get +x% damage with that weapon). I always thought that was cool, but it seems like it's gone. Are they still going to have something similar just not linked to achievements.
ME2 on Insanity is brutal, but ME3 is just plain annoying because the game has so many horde mode situation in the story.You ever played ME 2 or ME 3 on Insanity difficulty?
with the exception of 2, it's not even that bad as long as you're doing new game plus
No. Well, Mass Effect 2 is because of some stupidly cheap encounters, but the other games aren't that bad.
World at War on Veteran is FAAARRR worse.
Yeah I was pointing this out in another thread but some of the DLC trophies appear to be missing like none of the Arrival trophies are there and beating Shadow Broker on Hardcore or Insanity is missing which is a shame as I'll take that stuff over "do a thing 25 times" trophies.
Ahh ok. Because I got the plat for wow, and that difficulty was on a whole other level.

I absolutely cannot wait to complete these lists again!
I wonder how they will balance the first game on insanity...Mass Effect 1 was really meant to be played multiple times to level up and play the higher difficulties. It was not designed, like 2 and 3, to be played right away on Insanity. If they don't balance it, you will still need to play multiple times to really have a chance. I hope it is scaled right like 2 and 3 so we can jump right away into Insanity.
Insanity basically puts extra layers of defense on most enemies and increases their damage output. It can get really frustrating once you're getting pushed out of cover. However, CoD's problem--unless it was fixed--is that enemies spawned infinitely until you hit the next checkpoint on the map. Mass Effect just has combat scenarios with a finite amount of enemies. It's way more manageable I think.
Even in 2 I feel like once you get past Omega it gets easier as your character and squad are all leveled up a bit and you have some of the DLC guns unlocked. Just the fucking Vorcha on Omega are such a pain.
It looks like it's going to be one platinum for the entire trilogy. It's a single collection of trophies for the whole package.
CoD: W@W easily. I don't really recall that many issues with Insane on ME. I have the full achievements for the original 360 releases and CoD.
No doubt, World at War on Veteran diff. was just aggressively oppressive with its grenade spam and near endless supply of grunts with magic aiming. Some checkpoints in that game took as long as full jRPG game lengths for me to eventually complete.
I'd say Insanity difficulty is very doable for the average player. It's hard and you'll die a lot, but you don't have to be a gaming god to manage it, it just takes persistence.
I have completed all 3 on insanity and plan on doing the same with the legendary edition. Vanguard FTW!You ever played ME 2 or ME 3 on Insanity difficulty?
Did they not do any trophies for ME3 DLC?? Seems weird to not have stuff there for Citadel and Leviathan
Also glad they dropped that dumb one from ME1 where you have to keep party members with you through the entire game
EDIT: also curious if they still have those permanent ingame perks in ME1 for getting those trophies

I'm still aghast we have not seen meaningful gameplay yet. It's like a week before release now. Anyway,. seems very ordinary achievements. Most can be done in a single playthrough of the trilogy.
Anyway, about the trilogy on insanity, I'd say the three games have different levels of difficulty. ME1 on insanity on early game can be brutal, especially depending on the class you pick. But that's due to how utterly unbalanced the game is. This might change with the LE. Of all of the three games in the franchise, ME2 is the most well balanced, which makes it insanity playthrough the most fun (and the easiest in the sense that there are no moments that will make you frustrated, although there is one or two fights that can be quite challenging). ME3 is similar to ME2, but with way more deaths that feel unfair.
All the games are much easier than say, Gears on the hardest difficulties. Some boss fights on those game could last hours.

Omega, Praetorian fight on Horizon, and the Collector ship were definitely the highlights of frustration for me.
Strange, because they originally had achievements for both DLCs (literally just checked my achievement list).
EDIT: I see Citadel DLC achievements in the new list, but not Leviathan.
If this ends up being a single platinum that's a hard pass from me, especially with no PS5 SKU.
If game collections like Spyro, Crash and Uncharted trilogy can have platinum trophies for each game I don't see why this trilogy won't.
Agreed. As I've pointed out I think ME2 on Insanity is pretty enjoyable particularly once you've finished Omega (though the Shadow Broker DLC is kind of rough too). As long as you don't have anyone coming at you with a flame thrower.
They changed the ME1 companion achievements to be a lot easier to obtain.
Overall it's a very doable list. I'm not much of an achievement hunter these days, but I can see myself going for all of these.

Oh god those blind corners in Garrus's recruitment mission with flame thrower vorcha on the other side!
Okay I'm seeing them now, looks like they cut down the lists for those DLCs substantially. Just the ones for completing the final quests and the one for the combat simulator on Citadel
Under Pressure
Savior
Last Resort
The One and Only
Yeah that fight on Horizon can be a little tough for sure but I remember having a good time with it. Same with the collector ship.
I think you might be thinking of the Mordin recruitment mission which is what I'm thinking of (or maybe it is the Garrus mission?). Having to go to the lower area to turn the fans on or whatever the hell you're doing down there and fighting flame throwing Vorcha in very tight corridors… not my favorite bit of ME2 on Insanity.
EDIT: I think I'm conflating the two major Omega missions. Either way they're both a pain in the ass on Insanity.
