  My issue with modern RPG Games is they seem to focus to much on romance and hook up options You need to do to progress the Game, Like in Mass effect 2 You had the tantrum sequence of Jack against Miranda, instead of a neutral option you needed to pick a side, that's idiotic

  @RudeJackalope For me, personally is Mass effect 1. I could never finish it. I dont think its terrible, i just struggled with the controls and they felt clunky as all hell for me which is a skill issue on my end but i never got far into it before dropping it all together

  @wcnderfate okay so this was me I think you should 100% play mass effect first, dragon age is like. I’d say playing it for the characters is worth it but you NEED mods to fix the memory leak issues, bugs, and get past the fade/deep roads because the dungeons in that game are *terrible*

  It really does suck that in Mass Effect: Evolution it is marketed as "First Contact War Shown" and its ends so quickly its genuinely baffling. And not only that but the Illusive Man just goes to Illium like its no problem. First human on an alien world and no one cares. The other comics are much better but why did they introduce the Illusive Man like this? Sure show him in the First Contact war but don't make it seem like its about the conflict and also just let time pass so the next event makes more sense. Also having Saren encounter the Reapers this early is weird when he encounters them for what I presumed was the first time.

  @ChShersh Survivorship bias may be at work here, you probably don't play or think about the completely broken games. (Remember that one Mass Effect game?) Also, games are art and what is considered broken or not is fuzzy, often when there are bugs they become part of the game because they are fun.

  @PeterP_1985 @jasonschreier I've been seeing poor decisions like this in the industry ever since BioWare attempted live service slop with Anthem. They should've given Anthem to their Montreal studio while the main studio in Edmonton worked on Mass Effect: Andromeda, but they did the reverse and paid for it.

  @wesleytypes @masseffect Nah, ****** take, ME2 is totally better than first ME and ME3 because 1st was clunky af and mako mission were annoying and broken (me 2 had them too, but only in dlc) and ME3, bc that's me3, ****** ending and to much useless drama for nothing.

  @r3dan0n_ @ShitpostRock This is a hill I will die on. Mass Effect had a lot of janky stuff, but it was all in service of fun ideas. ME2 just cut all of that. Seamless exploration, MAKO, actual level progression, all gone. Some of it came back in ME3, but it was too late.

  In RPGs when your LI is getting attacked in combat do you also drop everything to protect them? On Palaven's moon you have to send a squadmate up a radio tower or something to fix it so I stood in front of the ladder, out of cover, so husks wouldn't get at Liara. #MassEffect

  @GamingPizzaBoy Now, I’m a huge mass effect fan. Andromeda hurt me. Wasn’t worth $20, let alone $60, but BioWare had earned my trust. Now I’m skeptical of them. I don’t have that issue with rockstar, no one should frankly

  @CorbynRed @HyperDrive6082 I personally haven't really seen the dves compare it like this to mass effect though, so what's the problem

  @QuarianKaiRazu @MassEffect_News EA won’t rest until every single BioWare franchise is turned into a live-service casino full of microtransactions. Mass Effect deserved better.

  @art_rube The Mass Effect fandom has the exact same issue... Oblivious to the prolonged period of time that has occurred between the last release, and the last announcement for a new release. Like its been almost 5 to 6 years without a new game, and still they act like everything is fine.

  @WeezSays @LonoSG Not true for all of them. Steam’s own offline-mode FAQ even says games that use an external launcher often won’t start. You lose multiplayer, sure. But a lot of single-player titles still won’t launch if EA App, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar, or CDPR’s REDlauncher can’t phone home. I’ve had that exact problem with Mass Effect Legendary Edition (EA) and Witcher 3 after the next-gen launcher got added. “Steam games play offline” is true for some Steam games. It’s not a blanket rule when the publisher bolted a second storefront onto the install.

  @MichaelFKane The entire problem with mass effect is that the renegade path is objectively the correct and good way to play, until ME3, where it becomes a cartoon evil guy.

  Ian Welsh (@iwelsh) reported 33 minutes ago

  @akidderz @Cromwelp This was the problem with Midnight Suns. Not that they talked too much, but that it was odd hybrid that didn't find its market. I liked the talk AND the combat. And Mass Effect had tons of talk and did well.

  @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.

  @hg17_daisuki I used to run Veilguard on my old PC it had both an SSD and an HDD and games would lag because Windows was running slowly in the background. Veilguard wasn’t the only thing causing the lag, and I was especially into modding, but it took up a lot of space. The Mass Effect mods I downloaded took up nearly 20 GB in total. Now that my new system doesn’t have an HDD, I can’t download many mods. Those were the good old days I really loved modding back then.

  @sulmusa00 @Pirat_Nation Like we've seen this problem before with Mass Effect 1, assload of planets but when most of them are empty you just end up going to the storyline planets which just HAVE TO BE incredible and that really makes or breaks a game like that

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

  @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.

  @Cthulhu_OwO I should [play] the Mass Effect Trilogy. No, really, I bought the whole thing for 5 bucks on Steam and it's been sitting on my library ever since. Everyone says that it's kino, but I got so many games to play... Younger me would be ashamed that I somehow think it's a problem !

  🔬 The Two Big Categories Functional (Hormone-Secreting) These are the ones that really wreak havoc. They pump out excess hormone regardless of what the body actually needs: Type Hormone Excess Prevalence Prolactinoma Prolactin ~40% of all pituitary adenomas GH-secreting Growth Hormone Causes acromegaly in adults ACTH-secreting ACTH → Cortisol Cushing's disease TSH-secreting TSH → Thyroid hormone Rare Non-Functional These don't secrete excess hormone but cause problems through mass effect — compressing surrounding structures, disrupting normal pituitary function by crowding out healthy tissue.

  @Pirat_Nation Problem is “remaster” is a fancy term for ai-upscaled graphics and that’s it. Devs these days almost never put any effort into actually fixing stuff. Look at the mass effect legendary edition. So many opportunities to add stuff that would have made the games better, but nah..

  @AMWorley_Writer @drowwpoison @kalaelizabeth It makes more sense when you look at Mass Effect 3's multiplayer as the reason why EA wanted to get so heavily into loot boxes and live service in the first place, it was wildly successful where Inquisition's multiplayer failed and they were chasing that high ever since

  @Pies_of_Lee Veilguard is just a continuation of the same writing issues that plagued mass effect Andromeda but the same reactionaries were too busy bitching about a trans character in that game too
