  @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.

  I would like to know why the ship travel in #MassEffect 2 is made the way it is. It's the main thing holding me back from finishing the game. I don't like needing to worry about fuel like that. I want to finish this trilogy, but I've only gotten as far as the crash site-

  Crazy how quite literally almost all the problems that Mass Effect 3 had to deal with was because ME2 delivered almost nothing in terms of plot but also actively **** on its own lore to become a space theme park cover shooter blockbuster.

  @LNamarcil @travis2504 @DeathMetalV The million other problems are related to the terrible developers who are woke and unloved. Bioware had non woke staff for mass effect 2. Til 2012 The Bioware after that got super woke and went super broke It's you lol

  @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.

  @JDBrooks90 @APalma_concept I draw too, I think I showed you my drawings already. They aren't as cool as yours, but I don't quit, I still draw sometimes. I made a small project based on ARMA 3, a whole campaign with 5 hours of gameplay. I took several starting points: Half-Life, Mass Effect, and Strugatsky's "Roadside Picnic." Although all the code is on the BIS website, AI still helped me with the coding. I wrote the script before AI appeared and don't use it for original writing, only for error checks or facts. Everything made by AI can be thrown away later and finished by hand, but as a starting point like making a prototype or helping understand code, it's a very useful thing.

  Hey @EA are you an indie dev? No? then why the FRICK are your servers down for your app that you promoted as "better than origin" forcing everyone to use it? We cannot login to play OUR SINGLEPLAYER GAMES! Smh "billion dollar company". Sorry everyone no mass effect tonight.

  An example, you could look at the buggy mess that was Mass Effect Andromeda and go "yeah this game isnt finished" but you would not be a good reference point for how the economy and triggers were broken like myself who hate played 100+ hours of the game to prove a point.

  @Pirat_Nation The biggest problem was the terrible writing, not the technical issues. Mass Effect games live and die on their writing quality and Andromeda was a huge fail in this respect.

  @AlmsiviSimp I think i'd like to see it "remastered" the same way mass effect was- have more consistent graphics through the cutscenes, fix the ports, declutter some of the combat, and have all 3 games in 1

  @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.

  @NoahNCopeland I've noticed that high effort/quality mods will generally avoid the word "fix" in the title (even if they arguably *do* fix a glaring flaw, like Mass Effect 3's ending).

  @SaraJoan11 You're making assumptions for everyone that played it. Like I and many have said, there were other problems with the game competely outside Shepard and their legacy. Having legacy at all can artificially boost a game. Who's to say without the Mass Effect brand the game would have even burst out of obscurity? Just because you enjoy the game enough to make a twitter page about it, doesn't mean others can't seperate their bias and fairly judge. You can like what you like but condescending to me doesn't change the facts. The game was rushed out the door and by doing so, a lot suffered. The pacing was off, the story wasn't incredibly cohesive, the characters weren't as compelling as they could be, it was riddled with bugs and problems, there was no real consequence to choice, the open world structure wasn't developed properly, etc. If a game can't grow on it's own at release, it is not healthy.

  @Riddle736 @NikTek They're also in Canada which means that they'll probably be emboldened to double down on woke. It's like the UK right now Basically, there's no way that Mass Effect 4 will be good. It may be safe just like BF6 was safe....for a bit. But it'll likely crash after

  Quesomodo (@TheQuesomodo) reported 29 minutes ago

  @ABasicAlt @kalaelizabeth Because if they crash and burn with a new IP, the Mass Effect title still has value to sell off. I am well aware they are working on the Next Mass Effect game, and I really hope that it won't be awful... but hope in one hand....

  Kevin (@themoralskeptic) reported 32 minutes ago

  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.

  See I don't even have an attachment to mass effect but this can't be right and is the problem why are we making adaptation of a video game but you want it to appeal to people who don't play games then WHY ADAPT A VIDEO GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE MAKE THE ADAPT. FOR THE FANS

  @SomeWeebDude Oh gosh... That's a real tough one. There's been quite a few over the years. Mass Effect 2/3, Crash Bandicoot Warped, Kirby's Adventure, BF1... Not sure I could pick a favorite.

  @LuisMay23930054 @kalaelizabeth Mass Effect without human-centric story won't work. It's already very generic sci-fi, without humanity's struggle to secure its place it won't feel like Mass Effect. That was one of Andromeda's biggest issues in story and world building

  @NerdTalksShow What about Mass Effect? In the latest PW issue there was another entry about it..

  Lisa (@aikens_lisa) reported 50 minutes ago

  @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.

  Trent Strickland (@TrentStricklan8) reported 51 minutes ago

  @TheMadGamerHere @getrichordietri @DiscussingFilm It's not an insurmountable problem by any metric. But you do this wrong, and aim it purely at the gaming fans and you're left with a show that will come off like a poor man's star trek. Mass effect is so much more than that. We WANT all audiences to understand this great world.

  @realKILLERkross @masseffect I really really really need to get back into Mass Effect! Currently have no game systems set up to play so I need to fix that 🙃

  Jæk (@kolyjah) reported 56 minutes ago

  @kalaelizabeth They are abandoning it, it’s not horrible, but it is a bad Mass Effect game. Weak writing and semi weak characters. Calling the fans the problem and the reason the game you starred in bombed is not how you endear them to future ventures.

  CassiusVictus (@CassiusVictus) reported 57 minutes ago

  @MadamSavvy A major issue with adapting Mass Effect to a non-game medium is that it's narrative was largely build around player choice. In ME1 Shepard doesn't have a single line of dialogue that isn't prompted by the player.

• 
  The Gaming Cowboy (@ThatHorseGuy117) reported 57 minutes ago

  Apologies for ending the Mass Effect 3 stream early. The audio issues between the quiet dialogue and overly loud SFX were creating a frankly awful viewer experience. I am definitely going to try and find a way to fix that for next time.

  Riddle me this Batman. What is the endgame of Skyrim?. What is the endgame of elden ring? What is the end game of Fallout? What is the end game of Mass effect? What is the end game to every single story driven RPG out there? This isn't a live service game.
