Mass Effect Andromeda Issues Reports

  @kalaelizabeth Also a big problem is people comparing it to a whole trilogy. If I compare it to just Mass Effect one, I like it more. I honestly didn’t become that attached to characters until ME2 besides Garrus

  @TheExpanseRPG Your fundamental use of it is the problem and a direct slap in the face of every single artist Gen AI steals from to churn out the content you use it for. I’ll stick to games that actually respect artists. Good luck with your Temu Mass Effect though. 💁🏻

  The last thing we heard is this was to be set after the trilogy. My suspicion is it’s intended as a lead-in to the next game. The problem is executives who want to use a well-loved IP to make money, but don’t understand why it’s well-loved. This is literally the problem Amazon had with Wheel of Time. If they disregard the existing fandom to that extent with Mass Effect, the show will suffer the same fate, but worse: it’s likely to have a knock-on effect of dooming BioWare in the eyes of EA’s new owners. The next Mass Effect would have to be an Expedition 33-level runaway success to insulate the studio from this degree of fallout.

  @irockithere @RenfailSoL “Immersion.” I had no problem feeling immersed in KOTOR, Mass Effect, or any ES title. It’s a game after all. Looking at screen, sitting a room. There’s a limit. No loading screen doesn’t make you feel like a citizen of the game. Like 0.5% more.

  @nuhre_ every mass effect game is a buggy mess until they fix it and the trilogy still has bugs from years ago...and what makes the story boring? How are the characters terrible?

  @DanticsOfficial The Mass Effect trilogy was BioWares Mangum Opus. They tried chasing that high again with their sequel game Andromeda but that fell flat. And then they tried chasing the live service model with Anthem and look at how that turned out. And finally they tried chasing the modern audience with Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd…

  @SandyofCthulhu Same goes for beta testers, back in the 90's we didn't beta test to get early access, we actually tested the systems and wrote detailed error reports with steps taken to repeat said issue, I will never forgive EA for what it did to Mass Effect.

  @Authw8 Mass effect guns fire magnetically accelerated metal shavings from a small tungsten block inside them. This gives them near infinite ammo. In ME 1 the guns had overheating issues limiting them. In ME2 and onward thermal clip ejection was created to vent heat. It is what it is

  @KKalvaitis Mass Effect 2's writing team more or less said "hey, what if we made even more excellent squad members and flesh out/fix Cerberus in a really interesting way, oh and then just write a bunch of dogshit for the main plot." Great pieces, horrible whole.

  @malanorea @BimbleWizard In Mass Effect one? Yeah, okay. It's a skill issue that the sniper rifle was so poorly programmed that the bullet literally teleports behind the target. Was fixed in Mass Effect 2.

  @takasiraVT I think the issue is Nintendo. They won't take chances anymore. Imagine a Star Fox that was like Mass Effect: third person shooter, with swappable crew, OPEN space combat, an RPG system, currency. But no. We'll get another rail shooter, and just be happy we got anything

  Chris (Man Who Games) (@AlternateUrge) reported 16 minutes ago

  KOTOR, Jade Empire, Mass Effect 1, Dragon Age Origins, all of these games frigging rule, and most of them are legendary influential games If EA can not force their hand on anything, let the live-service elements go, give them time, I'm confident they'll make a worthy game (6/6)

  @ChampionsOTIce @LookAtMyMeat1 If they were in a combined reality. First thing that’s going to happen is the Imperial navy is going to destroy the Mass Effect relays. Indoctrination could be a problem but honestly if we’re talking WH30k there’s not a whole lot Reapers are going to be able to do against Titans and Imperial starships and that’s even before you factor in void shields. Ground units would fold like paper to Space Marines, Custodes, and Primarchs. I honestly doubt indoctrination would work on the Imperium super soldier units due to how complete their mental training is, and chaos has to literally corrupt the soul to get them to flip sides

  @stefan31415926 @SmashJT Yea I'm not going too. I cam play mass effect or pragmata for my Sci fi fix lol It would been cool to start with the content tho ngl Bungie really screwed destiny fans especially possible new ones.

  @TheLocus343 the first picture looks like generic sci-fi place. I could imagine it being the inside walls of the Citadel from mass effect. The second one looks like andromeda's ruin interiors. The issue with H4 is it doesn't have an identity. Like its OST, it could be from anything.

  Interestingly, this has been an issue since mass effect 1. It's a unique design problem for a dialogue system that wants to simplify on-screen options. Having the whole line on screen (and then having to wait for the voiced protag to say it) would be more cumbersome, I think.

  @nuhre_ ME:A would of been better game without being attached to Mass Effect - that is the truth; the game play was fun, but yea the uglification of characters; infamous lip sync issues - and again certain characters written like crap killed it.

  If it’s an RPG with a choice, I’m picking the guy. Mass Effect, Pokemon, Skyrim, Cyberpunk, etc. I’m never picking a girl. It just feels weird saying “this is my character.” But a game like Stellar Blade, Eve isn’t supposed to be me so I have no problem with it.

  @spiral_archtct @Pirat_Nation The writing was really bad, but we can't ignore the technical issues. They were absolutely terrible at launch, like No Man's Sky or Cyberpunk. The only difference is that Mass Effect Andromeda never got its player base back, probably because of the writing.

  _HARBINGER_ (@Cttagecoreisepi) reported 39 minutes ago

  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.

  @atharia_ The Fallout show was good enough that my dad watched it four times straight. The Halo show, for someone who's only played 1, 2, and 3 back when they were released, was decent. Both have problems. I'm still hopeful about Mass Effect being not bad – as a massive fan.

  @Dreamboum Unironically more people need to read Shamus Young's Mass Effect Retrospective to see the problems 2 caused to the overall plot. If you can make it out on the other side of that and still hold your love for the franchise and be able to acknowledge it's flaws, it's so liberating

  @GenitivisArch @AnoneySFWtan @DiscussingFilm It didnt even cross my mind people could have a problem with mass effect being woke. Because i had no problem with it and i did like the games a lot. They had good writing and it wasnt forced. You're projecting your perception of "people like me" on me. Writing quality has declined and people that arent part of "woke" culture wont watch it if its the main focus. Thats the reason hollywood is in a massive decline.

  @kalaelizabeth "chuds" made it a punching bag because the game was not up to standard for a mass effect game. people didnt like it because they have high praise for mass effect, until devs, etc realize this they will never discover that it is their problem to fix, not ours

  Nose | 🎮 Final Fantasy XV (@NoseOfDeath) reported 51 minutes ago

  Nope. Skyrim is my first and only Elder Scrolls game and I played it back when it first released on Xbox 360. I wasn't familiar with RPG's either at the time with only Demons Souls and Mass Effect the games I played previously. Took a second but I got through it with no issues.

  ace_eisu (@ace_eisu) reported 53 minutes ago

  @kalaelizabeth See I feel like that's the issue to me. People want Mass Effect and there's certainly very strong elements of what Mass Effect is which Andromeda lacks some of and other part of community which thinks of ME as tale of Commander Shepherd and that's why it struggled the most.

  @Authw8 mass effect 1 is still absurd as by then they must have developed room temperature superconductors and the heating issue would be no more
