  @KeenKolo @masseffect Oh yes, that's one of the issues I was specifically thinking of.

  I’m gonna ruin the fun with facts again. This isn’t new. It’s already been used successfully in multiple countries. Programs like Google’s Verily project release male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria. Think of it like the Genophage from Mass Effect. The males don’t bite, don’t spread disease, and basically spend their entire lives trying to get laid (literally me). When they mate with wild females (unlike you), the eggs fail to hatch. Fewer mosquitoes get born, mosquito populations crash, and disease transmission drops with them. Field trials have repeatedly shown 70 to 90%+ reductions in local mosquito populations, along with major decreases in diseases like dengue. It’s a targeted biological control method that’s already been deployed at scale with pretty impressive results. If you’re asking why a gear account is telling you this? Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong

  @nikos_on_yt My biggest problem with Mass Effect Legendary edition. They completely ruined the lighting

  @AshenOne_VI Biggest issue the game has? It turned Dragon Age into Mass Effect. Thats not what the game was for 3 games, why change it on a 4th?

  @kalaelizabeth I don't really see the problem. A lot of these games are citing inspiration from mass effect and this one is being headed by former bioware employees. It's like complaining that a videogame was called a souls-like when it cites dark souls as a direct inspiration

  @AndorianRespect You mean, after the end of Mass Effect 1? The problems with ME3 are a direct result of ME2.

  @LordOfTheKink @Dreamboum @TigoODonnell If anything, ME3 makes ME2 better cause it's just one whole part of a grander tale regardless of how the ending went. On its own merits...Mass Effect 2 has got some problems.

  @PandaSub2000 I think @BioWare REALLY needs to fix “Mass Effect Andromeda”’s failure to load save game files game breaking bug.

  This just doesn't look good and let me explain. The background looks like it is one thing and the background looks great. The Issue with the characters is this reminds me of Mass Effect Andromeda. the filters and animation done makes the character look 100% not like the mocap or person they did mocap. All of the women characters, for whatever reason intentionally, look like they are bloated in order to put more detail. Ciri looked the same as well. Face bloated to add more detail that makes no sense to me. I don't know if this is because of the engines we use for games and things like that but the reality is that this doesn't look good. Somehow though, the eastern studios have figured it out so us in the west are doing something wrong. That being said, playing as Laufey in a "god of war" title is dumb especially when i thought they were transitioning to a parallel story with Atreus and now the woman than i guess Kratos banged and now is dead so you can guide Kratos and the like on their journey? that's just retarded.

  The biggest issue is that the average consumer got into the MCU and it made a gorillion dollars so other companies focus tested the **** out of what the normies actually liked. They then took that information and figured "if we apply this to literally everything we will make tens of gorillions!" Not realizing that not only would this invite the wrong crowd in, it would push out the ones already there who were buying their products. There's a reason modern AAA gaming sucks and it's because normie level MCU enjoyers figured if they liked slop and ironic quickly dialogue with sassy characters that everyone else would. They then proceeded to nuke every franchise they've been a part of with one dimensional characters and sassy girlbosses in a "subversion of the genre/media you're used to" type writing. It's funny when you think about it that there are very few IPs that never fell into this trap and they're doing just fine if not better. Franchises like Gears, Halo, Mass Effect, etc all used to take themselves seriously to some degree. They had writers who cared about telling a story and making a game that was fun to back it up. Now it's live service, accessibility, representation,and a whole host of other dog **** design decisions that took these games from console sellers to the bargain bin on the verge of collapse. The video game industry needs to pop again. Cause right now all my favorite franchises ******* suck and I only enjoy playing either indie games or gacha games like Nikke and GFL2 atm.

  The problem isn't that the games are similar btw. It's the "is this mass effect 5?" "Is that tali?" "Where's the dialogue wheel?" comments from people who can't separate the two. People want Mass Effect I get but don't hate the game when it isn't that. Just play Mass Effect 😭

  @OmegaAshura @BriskittyThe3rd @D1AndOnlyGage and mass effect had gays and bi hmmm thats funny its almost like the gay was never the problem. the problom with woke game sence 2016 was not that it had gays its was story being put last. just because its gay does not make it better. take it from some one who is gay.

  I think Quarians are really ignorant and are short sided during Mass Effect 3. The Reapers are the main problem and they can’t see how working with Legion and deprogrammed Geth would help the war. Instead they choose to get destroyed and not work together

  xela (@memoryofxela) reported 26 minutes ago

  @5umando Even then it still doesn’t work. KOTOR, Mass Effect, Cyberpunk etc. all face that same issue. Yea, you’d basically have to make a dating sim, but I think it’s even deeper than that. It’s just really hard compared to a game with a singular character.

  Blue Thundyr (@bluthundyr) reported 27 minutes ago

  @Arron_TK Yeah. They hate single player games. I bet they cant wait to kill Mass Effect so they can tell Bioware “see? Nobody wants your games, how about making a live service shooter?

  Sometimes I remember that most of the older mass effect players are gonna HATE me if they ever meet me cause I absolutely baby Harbinger and I have. no issues with that. That is my bug/octopus husband. He is my baby that tolerates me running around while he causes chaos. mweheh.

  I think that they wore their parody of GTA on their sleeve. The issue is that they wanted to start parodying other games which is why 4 felt like they were trying to make fun of crackdown, prototype, mass effect, etc. They bit off more than they could chew

  @lssjxeno @SabamonsterSR 1. SBI is a bunch of angry feminists, not gamers. They entred a predomenantly male-centric industry loved by both men and women, and started lecturing fans on feminism, race, and diversity. Literally every came connected to their direct influence is a financial disaster. Fans aren't jumping at every opportunity to slur, trash, and cheer the financial flops of ethnic stories/characters. Evidence? From major supporting cast like Barret (FF7), Dudley (SF), or leading cast Spawn (SNES), Jacob (Mass Effect), Shadow Man (PS1) and +10M resounding success of AC: Origins proves majority of gaming nerds are receptive and open minded people who root for good games. Race isn't the issue, quality always is.

  @aquatichrome i say do it. if i want to play mass effect i will, even if its only for 30 mins, otherwise i will spend the day sulking bcs i didn’t get to play (i might have problems)

  GratedSasuge (@kernelpie) reported 40 minutes ago

  @nygma0451 In some story and character aspects, sure. But overall, it is a better game. Dragon Age suffers from the same issues that mass effect did. In that ea had bioware make a game more focused on companions and their stories. And as da series went on, that became the bigger focus.

  To any other Mass Effect streamers, I am having a problem on Mass Effect 3 where whenever I am in a conversation the audio becomes so muted that it becomes impossible to hear. All other sound is nice and clear, it is only in conversations. Anyone got a fix? I am using Streamlabs as my streaming software.

  The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reported 59 minutes ago

  Interesting take by Serenity - I somewhat agree. We are still very far away from this, however. Let me explain. Autonomous vehicles are already showcasing that even though they do 95-99% of driving tasks just as well, if not better, than humans, there are still those 1% edge cases that make or break the value added by autonomy. That’s because the margin of error is literally 0%, which results in passengers being fine or being crushed/impaled by a software glitch or blind spot. Humanoids will be no different. General purpose robots will likely take mass effect by the end of this decade and handle 95-99% of general labour use cases (warehouse applications), but there will always be edge cases where the cost of using them makes no sense if they can’t perform certain tasks. Lately I’m starting to approach the thesis that an AI singularity is fast coming, but I disagree on the timelines. I do hope the guardrails are in place to prevent the seemingly inevitable collapse of society with robotics.
