Russians storm the Mass Effect Legendary Edition Metacritic rating due to localization

BioWare added Russian voice acting to the first part Mass effect for the collection Legendary Edition, which was not to the liking of many – dubbing is considered unsuccessful. Here and poorly selected actors, and liberties in adaptation, and much more.

The developers and the publisher have still not commented on the situation in any way (we tried to contact both BioWare itself and its representatives – only silence in response), and the players’ patience came to an end.

Russian users of Metacritic began to actively storm the rating of the collection on the aggregator, having already managed to lower it to 5.6 points out of ten – the main part of the complaints concerns just the translation and the silence of the developers.

Most likely, most of the dissatisfied bought the collection on PlayStation or Xbox – on PC they have already found a way to combine languages, and the rating in Steam now “very positive” (86%). At the same time, there are not so many reviews in general – less than a thousand for three platforms.

However, there are complaints from users from other countries – for example, some complain about the lack of respect due to the refusal to translate the collection into Portuguese.
