  @NilesSankey @Brehbander @WanderLustAK907 3 has the same problem as a lot of "finales" I so think it couldn't have been much better. It's very hard to finish a story, Mass Effect 3 is the perfect example.

  @PunlshedGundam @RohanKarMooN I had issues w/ games w/ multiple client-app/DRM's - i.e. Ubi games on Steam (PoP: Forgotten Sands, req. Ubi launcher); EA games on Steam (Mass Effect: Legendary, which req. EA App); & RDR2 on Epic (always req. R* app). Just always boot the 1st-party required launcher first.

  The problem is a studio or even an “established IP” means nothing without the actual talent behind it As much as I love BioWare and the Mass Effect universe, It would be a massive undertaking to bring it back to the level we were used to before. Still I will keep hope.

  @nuhre_ They also have a massive problem with mass effect 5, juat conceptually. It won't be a sequel to andromeda so it has to be 3. Now are we playing shepherd again or a new character? Anything but destroy reapers seems impossible to really continue. What choices do we go with? Do we import? Really hard to do now so will we pick? There are so many setting issues involved which will cause massive problems. And thats before we even begin.

  @DanticsOfficial The only issue with using Mass Effect 1 if it doesn't really affect much besides one special mission in the first game in a few passing references in the sequels. I think Dragon Age would have been a better example

  @VGC_News I think it's more like problems with bioware and their talent pool. They haven't made a good game since Mass Effect 3.

  @AdeIica @Flanz111 @HardwareSteam Bioshock worked. Cyberpunk, Avatar, Mass Effect didn’t work. I didnt feel like testing more games. I’ll just wait until they update it and fix it.

  @MichaelFKane @EidolonOracle I think the Star Child is less the problem than the color-coded ending options, even if people incorrectly associate the somewhat lacklustre ending with the Star Child. (Frankly, without the free update that they released, the ending to Mass Effect 3 sucked ***, but even with it, it wasn't amazing). But you're right. Hell, in Mass Effect's case, they were teasing the metaphysical twist from day 1. ME is an apocalyptic Biblical epic, after all. It would've made way less sense to NOT include the Star Child (or something similar). They just fumbled the implementation, likely due to budget/timing constraints.

  Brandon The Truth 💯 (@BCTheTruthl) reported 18 minutes ago

  @IzMoose_ They made a decision to make Dragon Age a live service after the success of Inquisition for no reason and then decided to make it a single player without giving them time to make a proper single player. They had the Mass Effect main team work on ANTHEM instead of Andromeda.

  @Geo_AW @masseffect 2 Boss in the Collector Base. problem is this generation of purple haired freaks can't create a unique boss fight. Atleast the freaks from 15-30 year ago could make good games. Now it is "see what others did and steal their creative IP

  @WallStreetMav In the first Mass Effect game there was an option to spare a bunch of mercenaries who try to murder you. Refusing their surrender was punished with 'renegade points'. Yes this was a punishment meant to 'groom' you. But a bigger problem are lies about Christ being 'peaceful'.

  @GethLegionN7 @SteffanPatrik I have a hard time with that argument because, technically, whenever people ask fans what their problem with the quarians is, it’s usually just the decisions made by the Quarian Admirals. But Mass Effect 2 shows plenty of quarians who are peaceful and don’t want a war. Yet people still want to send the entire quarian to hell because of the actions of two or three admirals.

  @MD_Chaos4 By the way, in your opinion, what was the biggest problem with Mass Effect of how did badly execute its lore?

  Hans Blitz (@CCreations69) reported 34 minutes ago

  @SvensationalGuy That's what gives it some replayability but really the game needs more story choices that have impact, it's still very linear in pathing and commentary, while it gives the impression of playing a Mass Effect like game it doesn't have the choices in situations that change outcomes further in the game, it doesn't have equipment and weapon stats just some item slots and has very basic small maps with camera issues in certain areas of the map, While Ive enjoyed the story and customisation of characters I feel it lacks any real substance to class specialities and abilities, from a developer's standpoint the game isn't doing anything new in the genre, so it only gets 7.5 out of 10 for my final rating!

  @RinoTheBouncer I agree that this would've made a great Mass Effect spinoff. What if this was the planet the Normandy crash-landed on at the end of Mass Effect 3? With all of the mass relays destroyed, the Normandy crew presumably would've had to make the best of their situation on that planet.

  i was super exited to have a chance to meet mass effect cast but now all i wish for this con is to fail tbh, creating an extremely unsafe and uncomfortable space for fans and pretending the problem doesn't exist is so ******* disgusting

  i think a lot of people associate the fantasy genre with length and scope, because the cyberpunk beeline for example is 20 hours and it’s not an issue. every mass effect is 20 hours. if the quality is there, then it doesn’t matter!

  @amazinggamepro So question then… Games like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Baldur’s Gate or other RPGs that let you develop relationships, have a dates or intimate relationships with your companions, would that also be met with the same “isn’t even a man” or “doesn’t deserve respect?” Not a dig, I’m just curious to understand why those would be ok, but it’s different here? If one is acceptable but the other isn’t then there is a problem with consistency or either both are bad or both are fine. Personally I think the real problem is not that it’s in the game, but it’s how far the players themselves take it’s

  @ShitpostRock Probably Mass Effect 2- almost everyone I know prefers it, and there's no question that ME1 had issues with the Mako, and was largely a worse game But I preferred the RPG shooting, including the heat/miss rate over the 'better' cover shooter mechanics of ME2. And ME1's story

  So, it took me a long while to realize Veilguard was just Mass Effect 2 because I was forcing myself to see it in a Dragon Age box. But also I don't think Veilguard really hits that Mass Effect 2 plot set up until the City choice. Before it feels like its live service remnants had it visit every major hub so that the grind could start for it. Only for that to be changed and now they had to change it because they could. And the Mass Effect 2 plot set up works well enough to visit different locations and do it multiple times.

  @kalaelizabeth I think that's definitely true right after Dragon Age Origins. (And you can argue the same for Mass Effect to a certain extent even with 2 though that game was close to being as good as the first.) 2 was a noble but broken attempt thay some people a lot of love and worth in

  @ApplefatGov @csaurageul Borrowing the color palette of Gears of War, or cover based shooting mechanics into genres it didn't belong like Mass Effect or even Uncharted (or a dozen other games) caused problems for a long time. But that doesn't say anything about the games where they worked.
