This is so awesome. I love that you can even print off the jacket for the game.

It seems if you want to relive the Mako with its absurd driving characteristics you still can (if you want) in the Legendary Edition:

> Mass Effect Mako apologists will be pleased to hear they can choose to use the vehicle's original handling style.

I really wanted to play this on the PS5, but Sony is saying shortages may continue until 2023. So I can play it on the computer, but I don’t meet the recommended specs and my overdue GPU upgrade is equally unlikely any time soon. I guess I’ll have to wait and see what the overall performance is like on slightly dated rigs.

I am so jealous. I bought it on Green Man Gaming and they have not released keys yet.

The preload says it is just over 100GB. Not sure how much more there is after that.
