  @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.

  @nikos_on_yt My biggest problem with Mass Effect Legendary edition. They completely ruined the lighting

  @PandaSub2000 I think @BioWare REALLY needs to fix “Mass Effect Andromeda”’s failure to load save game files game breaking bug.

  @Tectone Exactly. It seems the main problem with GoW is that they are using the wrong franchise. Its like when Mass Effect tried Andromeda without Shepard. I still liked the game as its own game, but I wasn't nearly as invested in it as I was with the trilogy.

  @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

  @FiadhBaikal Reminds me of what they did with Mass Effect Andromeda. Had an actual model be the face capture and basis for the default female MC, she looked fine in the preview. Then for the final release they puffed up the face and it looked like **** Not a reference problem, a dev problem

  Romances in Baldur's Gate 3 aren't fundamentally different than Mass Effect from nearly 2 decades ago. BG3 is just a longer game. Still has the same annoying problem of either making a character dislike you or wanting to bang with no inbetween.

  @J0hnADouglas They seem content to move forward with more trash like Rings of Power and Fallout than an actual well written show made by passionate creators. Well, this confirms my suspicion that God of War and Mass Effect are in serious trouble.

  Yeah Max is spot on here. The games I own physically are the games I love. Mass Effect, Cyberpunk, Ghost of Yotei, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Sparking Zero, Astro Bot, and more. Next game I wanna own physically (if the reviews are good) is Halo. And I want GTAVI physically 😭

  @femshep_com @nib95_ But you are talking about a particular case (female Shepard). I'm talking in general. Totally different things. Just because few people had issues with it (Mass Effect case), doesn't mean that there's a general hate towards female protags, because there is not.

  @theonewhoistobe @mrpyo1 No it did not I would have games released in a finished state rather than games launch in a buggy broken and unfinished state like battlefield 2042,the Lord of the rings golem, redfall Mindseye anthem, mass effect andromeda, concord, ssktjl marvel avengers fallout 76, and any games that launch with technical issues. And I agree with yongyea here

  The White Queen (@WhiteQueenNV) reported 26 minutes ago

  The problem, I think is that Baldur's Gate 3's romance and really character writing in general is actually kind of piss weak. Nobody feels like an actual person. It is so much weaker and less coherent than anything from early Dragon Age or Mass Effect.

  @YoureIdeaIsBad i 100% agree, i still don’t understand why mass effect was allergic to the use of body cams😭 a lot of the problems in the trilogy could have been solved w a simple camera, esp moments like the talk with sovereign in virmire

  Evil Villain (@EveryCarpet) reported 32 minutes ago

  @WeAreMassEffect Excellent science-fantasy but not excellent sci-fi. Anything other than Destroy is the Reapers throwing **** at the wall in a last-ditch effort and actually succeeding in deceiving Shephard. Everything 'wrong' with the story of ME3 actually started with ME2 when Bioware catered to Fox in cutting down the ****** alongside killing off and resurrecting Shepherd in the first 5 minutes of the game (!!!). Story of ME2 was ***. The Collectors should have been an arc or plotline but not the entirety of the game. You can 100% have the Systems Alliance send Shepherd out to find more data on the Reapers, who then ends up fighting Batarians, criminals, xenophobes, the Terminus Systems, AND the Collectors. Andromeda actually had insane potential but Bioware ****** up by not hiring me as their lead writer and producer. Fighting the not-Collectors with an Asari archaeologist and Krogan mercenary while trying to save Humanity & Co. is not good enough of a plotline. Cerberus should've sacked the Elusive Man the moment he was indoctrinated. ridiculous. ME4 needs to take place after a Destroy ending where: 1. with the destruction of the Relays, long-distance, immediate FTL travel is impossible. 2. with the general destruction that the Reapers caused-- 99% of all life in the galaxy, essentially, and their corresponding civilizations and industrial base-- ME4 needs to either take place 100-200 years after the events of ME3 or be a survival-horror 'RPG' 3. If ME4 takes place a ~hundred years after the events of ME3, then having the option of being Liara's offspring (and explicitly confirmed if you romanced Liara). if not, then all other species ought to be available 4. the vast majority of Turians and Quarians stuck in the Sol System after the destroy ending would end up starving to death because 5σ of the galaxy's industry and population has been destroyed and they cannot eat 'normal' foodstuffs 4a. the vast majority of Turians and Quarians in any fleet that is not predominantly of their own species ought to starve to death due to the lacking of their specific foodstuffs 4b. the vast majority of the survivors of the Reapers (<1% of galpop) ought to starve, dehydrate, or otherwise die to raiders or other starving, sick people. simply not enough resources to go around in the post-apocalypse 5. if you chose to fix the Genophage, the Krogans have to be THE singular dominant power in what was Citadel space. if not, there should only be one or two total in the entirety of the game as their species goes extinct 5a if the Krogan are led by Wrex, then the Krogan in general would be part of the Citadel's Council alongside Humanity 5b if the Krogan are led by Wreav, then the Krogan in general would not be part of the Citadel, drastically weakening it for the plot of the game alongside granting a quest where you have to 'recruit' the Krogan or at least get them to sign a pact of non-aggression/interference 6. the Egalitarian, Xenophilic polity that would eventually emerge at Sol would become the capital of the New Citadel-- mostly because they have the highest population and the most salvage in their system 7. the enemy for the first non-survival of the post-apocalyptic horror entry in Mass Effect ought to be a resurgent Terminus Systems. they have no ******* idea where the Reapers came from or how to beat them-- only learning that they're tied to Citadel space.

  @Housemarque Fix the HDR in the next patch. Also do a fix for the story like Mass Effect had to do.

  I’m gonna ruin the fun with facts again. This isn’t new. It’s already been used successfully in multiple countries. Programs like Google’s Verily project release male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria. Think of it like the Genophage from Mass Effect. The males don’t bite, don’t spread disease, and basically spend their entire lives trying to get laid (literally me). When they mate with wild females (unlike you), the eggs fail to hatch. Fewer mosquitoes get born, mosquito populations crash, and disease transmission drops with them. Field trials have repeatedly shown 70 to 90%+ reductions in local mosquito populations, along with major decreases in diseases like dengue. It’s a targeted biological control method that’s already been deployed at scale with pretty impressive results. If you’re asking why a gear account is telling you this? Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong

  Mass Effect Andromeda on Insanity is way harder than I expected, never had any trouble with the original trilogy so was expecting the same with this game but damn. Going to try and stick with it though, but if it reaches a boiling point I have no problem going to normal or easy.

  @ScuffCatvt I played once a Dark Souls 1 and after reapedetly dieing on the first fight decided never agian😝 what I would love for 40K is: - Mass Effect similar game - 3rd person shooter with guard AOS: - Action RPG - SM2 but with Sotrmcasts And all with no live-service or always online BS

  @ZeDoctorBlur Dean takahashi, he also didn't know how to level up his character in mass effect and was terrible at doom eternal, all of which he criticized for his own skill issue

  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.

  @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.

  @tokyosdaughter hmmmm this is a bit of a take where i can have mixed feelings much as i dislike woke and DEI and all that shi. Didn't mass effect / kotor followed a similar pattern? it was ok issue should be indoctrination ig but art and design different have always existed, not a fan tho

  @biggieU_U @Henry10113 I absolutely love mass effect, literally one of 3 tattoos I have is from ME, 1 is ******* rough to play, probably the best story but the game play was bad even when it came out, tried and dropped after the big Game Informer issue on it, only went back after playing and loving 2

  @Mangalawyer I don't care about what emotion they're showing at a moment. I want them to look good or give me the option to have a custom character. Had no issues with FemShep from Mass Effect. No issues with V From Cyberpunk.

  @dionizije_fa @pcgamer I lost respect for Casey Hudson after the botched Mass Effect 3 debacle at launch that took forever to fix. 3 different colored explosions is the culmination of all of your choices throughout the series.

  @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.
