  @Ivan06102335 @DanticsOfficial I get that having more attractive characters makes the game better, but I'll never understand the need for RPG fans to romance in games. I'm the biggest Mass Effect fan there is but we are talking about pixels after all. I just hope they can fix some of the facial animations.

  @PapitoQinn It could have been more and it could have been better unfortunately, they tried to imitate Mass Effect with the voice protagonist and narrower dialogue choices but the execution had a lot of problems.

  to anyone saying that people who don't like the new god of war because you hate woman and female lead characters in games, or you only like characters that are half naked and 'hot', which i am one of those people who does not like the new god of war i love Cynder the dragon, the second lead in legend of spyro dawn of the dragon, how is she half naked and hot? i love Grace Ashcroft who is not half naked, she is also one of the lead characters, i love Claire Redfield, she is not half naked, also a second lead, Lara Croft, yes she is technically half naked, but i do not find her 'hot', i love female Shepard from Mass Effect, she is not half naked, she is also the main character, unless you choose male Shepard, i love Jill valentine, she is not half naked, she is also the second main character, i don't find any of these characters 'hot', but i still love playing them, because they are interesting characters, i play video games because i want a good story with good characters, if you are going to make your lead a female, make them interesting and not bland that are perfect in every way, just to put bs diversity, none of these characters i mentioned are perfect and bland, they make mistakes and have problems, that is what makes them good just like most male characters are not perfect, Kratos is a literal murderer who is technically a villain, Leon is a rooky cop in re2 and fails a lot through the game, and in re9 he is trying to fix a mistake he believes is his fault, Ethan from re7 and 8, is a regular guy who struggles his entire way through, in 8 he is trying to rescue his daughter, he is not perfect but he pushes through all these characters are good and interesting because they are not bland, they are strong characters but they are not perfect, that is why people love them, and that is why people do not like most modern games with female leads, because it is not about making good games, it is about putting diversity where it should not be

  Doing a bit in the first Mass Effect that I somehow NEVER did last time (the Bring Down the Sky stuff). Can't for the life of me figure out why, I enjoyed these enough that I played all three games back to back, so wanting to be done wasn't an issue.

  @Polygon So that means even less live service games? I’m all in on that. We need single player + multiplayer hybrid games back. Uncharted 2 had multiplayer. Perfect Dark had multiplayer. Mass Effect 3 had multiplayer.

  @SerasReborn @Italianbagged yeah and you would meet a lot of anti-woke people who would not actually have a problem with those games, **** Mass Effect Legendary Edition, the only complaint the anti-Woke people had was EA censoring the game to pander to the feminist

  @onlypushinp @dreadwolf_solas Mass effect had big problem beetween 2 and 3 with some story part being scrapped, it is coherent because of the protag, the cast and the ennemy who in the end don’t change. You jusy can’t do that with DAO for example.

  @shootermen3 @WhimsyPsyche Mass Effect fans don't represent the population. And lots would pick Miranda or Jack over the aliens. Maybe even Ashley. The issue most game developers at the time really had no clue what straight women like so none of the men are really comparable. Bioware never figured it out.

  Surely not❄️🔥🦊 💜🦴🐟 💔💙 (@inth3nearfuture) reported 22 minutes ago

  @CorbynRed Its funny how, everytime someone says that, they basically JINXED the Game and Studio to fail. I heard people say that to Vailguard... Now Vailguard is the Reason that, if Mass Effect is not absolutely and 100% appealing to the predominantly male audience, the Studio will close. Then we have Avowed, which underperformed so hard, with "The Outerworld 2" as follow up Titel. AC Shadows: I would assume they are still in the Red, AT BEST near "broken even". Coming from a monstrous Company we saw, that even those games can fail. And EVERY. SINGLE. TIME... i got the statement "They will sell extremely good" and further cope... At the end, every game underperformed massively.

  @SynthPotato What? Hahaha these graphics are juat bad. Ciri was also bad and guess what? CDPR brought in some guys from UE5 to work with them and now ciri looked good graphically cause its an engine issue. This about on the level of hilarious **** that the animation of mass effect Andromeda was for many of these things. The western studios are falling and its no wonder why foreign companies and governments are buying them cause they aren't make anything good.

  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.

  Exodus removing character customization feels like such an unnecessary rake to step on. Mass Effect has an iconic default protagonist look for Shepard, but still has options to customize and change his/her look to the player's liking. Such an unforced error

  @MagicMushMM I had no problem with foot missions at all and were welcome additions. I truly love 64, but another remake? Personally, a complete reboot of it that implements stuff from like Mass Effect including recruitment of all or some pilots and loyalty missions of sorts would be awesome.

  May Greenfield (@Smiley_Gate) reported 31 minutes ago

  I had constant issues with Shepard looking crosseyed in Mass Effect 3. I figured maybe I just ****** up the character creator somehow. To experiment I went in the ME3 Appearance Mod menu (A mod) and changed the "EyesOut" setting to +0.100 and I never had this problem again.

  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

  @manuni340839 @_D4rk50ul_ @GeeksGamersCom Voltron was MADE for the streaming service. Highlander will do fine, its not got too much to live up to. Star Wars is DEAD.. enter Warhammer. Cavill was interviewed for Bond before and hes read the script (on his IG) for Mass Effect (at Amazon WITH Warhammer) So, sit down..

  @IGN From what I saw the problem was the writing, not the VA. The writing was close to cringe Mass Effect Andromeda.

  @WeAreMassEffect Mass Effect Andromeda is way over hated. It’s a good games that was designed with sequels in mind. EA is and will always be the problem when it comes to BioWare games. BioWare could have easily fixed up issues and added content if EA weren’t cowards.

  @Nick_White_AOS I tried so hard to like Veilguard and Andromeda had mad potential if they didnt force the live service crap. The reason why Kotor and Mass Effect 1 stand the test of time is because thats when Bioware did what THEY wanted and weren't studio slaves

  ETCviperidae (@ETCviperidae) reported 46 minutes ago

  @gerogeroR I think a sci fi that actually shows the difficulty of a multispecies federation that doesn't gloss over the trouble caused by distinct life would be interesting. Mass effect got the closest but they still showed things mostly functioning normally on the citadel.

  Julian II (@JulianHeliosII) reported 47 minutes ago

  @Knights_Path Thinking some more, when the player asks a question you have a problem to solve: The player idle while asking a question looks blank Mass Effect solved it through a close up shot here and there, obscuring the body so you can't see Shepherd's hands Baldur's Gate had transition anims between lines from pose w/ anim to pose w/ anim, which kept the silent protagonist of the dialogue engaging You should choose one of these, or a mix of both, to keep the character from feeling plastic. The speaker need not have this because they are generally receiving queries and questions from the speaker, but stance changes are crucial for the target speaker

  The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reported 49 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.

  @MischiefsYT @sony2k1 @LionsFanAccount if he was never intended to be the Protagonist then why was he? OK higher up forced them to but they still did it. My problem is with how They discarded him. I played as him for 150+ hours. That meant something to me. Only to not see him in Valhalla DLC. Mass effect did that.

  @Larry13636248 @DevlinBrady3 @Wahoolet I don't think "woke" was a factor, but it has been a long time. The issue was that the game launched in a disastrous way, with graphical glitches during cutscenes. Mediocre writing, mediocre story, and it just didn't feel worthy of the Mass Effect name.

  Uncle Dee (@UncleDee2103) reported 55 minutes ago

  @splitcann @GamewithDave That may actually be my problem. I never played the first one, so I never got connected to the overall story and the characters the same way I did with, say Mass Effect or Dragon Age.

  i know it’s a mass effect thing and quickly the story gets out of control but please let’s not add unnecessary stress to our portion of the fandom. we are on the same side or at least we should be enough senseless discourse in fandom spaces. save it for ACTUAL important issues

  Exactly why there shouldn't have been any ceasfire The problem is masseffect We need to figure new bomb area yield. 1. You figure out how to do an real orbital drop system like COBRA's Zeus 2. You figure out how to do insanely large bombs that have actually closer/fractional to nuclear type power. This is actually an insane physics problem. Eventually AI robots entering into conflict zones will alleviate this problem. But for right now this, sucks. And by the way this was a huge issue in Afghanistan and why they were able to hang in there so long. I've said it before our munitions are too precise. This is what drags out wars. Something is missing from this fight.
