  The Gaming Cowboy (@ThatHorseGuy117) reported 4 minutes ago

  To any other Mass Effect streamers, I am having a problem on Mass Effect 3 where whenever I am in a conversation the audio becomes so muted that it becomes impossible to hear. All other sound is nice and clear, it is only in conversations. Anyone got a fix? I am using Streamlabs as my streaming software.

  @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....

  I feel like the next Mass Effect is going to be a live service game and even if it's not I have no faith in the game at all.

  @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

  I be wanting to let my Mass Effect takes go but I don’t want to start trouble

  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.

  @ElkenrodKarmic @tekarino @QuiteShallow Broski you brought up Mass Effect Andromeda. I was simply bringing up other examples. As for Taash, as i said in my other comment. I have problems with their writing but i disagree that they're terrible

  @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.

  @DannyINTEL Problem w/ a lot of these games is they end up having the same combat as Genshin or Wuwa They should have considered that with Urban settings it should have gameplay more similar to The Division, Cyberpunk, Watchdogs or Mass Effect Prioritize ranged gameplay over melee.

  @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.

  @nuhre_ @xenowriter We? Every single fan of Mass Effect does not want the show to be about Shepard because we know it would be a freaking bad idea. Shepard’s journey is 💯% personal to every fan. Andromeda was a good Mass Effect game, the issues were only technical, definitely not about Shepard.

  @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.

  @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.

  @ClarissaDeLune Mass Effect doesn't have this problem because it's goated

  RepentantSky (@RepentantSky) reported 36 minutes ago

  @AHalfNickel Not gonna lie, I hate this series. Everyone in it is a complete and unlikable *******, and Mass Effect 2, didn't do anything to fix it. I bought the whole trilogy at once and I almost played the 3rd game just to watch them all die, but I didn't want to waste the time.

• 
  Chris (Man Who Games) (@AlternateUrge) reported 37 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)

  Amazon is ordering major script rewrites for the Mass Effect TV series. They want to modernize it. It’s the same old story where a studio takes a loved universe and starts hacking away at it because they think they know better than the source material. I want to enjoy a space opera without a lecture. Especially one where I’m not wondering if the writers even liked the original game or if they’re just trying to "fix" something that wasn't broken. Usually, when a show gets ordered to undergo massive rewrites to make it more accessible or modern, it just means they're stripping out the soul and the grit that made people care in the first place. Amazon has a habit of doing this to established franchises. We’re likely in for another project that values a message over the actual craftsmanship of the world. Expect the worst.

  @nuhre_ He’s not talking about og mass effect fans, he’s talking about people that bashed on Andromeda (and Veilguard) for weird reasons. Both games had issues, but losers were attacking them for things that had nothing to do with what was actually wrong w/ them.

  @KaiKai2492 Tbf, games have tried to implement the squad/command system (Brothers in Arms, Mass Effect). A core issue has always been 'why spend time ordering AI when I can just shoot them myself'.

• 
  又 (@travisleelilley) reported 46 minutes ago

  @Nick_White_AOS I tried so hard to like Veilguard and Andromeda had mad potential if they didnt force the live service crap. The reason why Kotor and Mass Effect 1 stand the test of time is because thats when Bioware did what THEY wanted and weren't studio slaves

  Sixters | Champion d’Europe (@Sixters) reported 47 minutes ago

  @DanticsOfficial It wasn’t a bad game but it wasn’t good either Problem is they tried to move away from Sheppard but not enough from Mass Effect. The story/scenario is roughly the same but name swapped to another galaxy That give the impression of a bad OG copy instead of a new game of its own

  PaperMacheAnkles (@PaperMacheAnkle) reported 48 minutes ago

  @HariSel57511397 Wrong. Mass Effect 2 is peak ME. The only problem is it is where Mass Effect watered down the class/skill system to become more palatable to normies.

  Ed Venture (@Edmitsu) reported 48 minutes ago

  @WritersBog @Authw8 People like you must have never used weapon upgrades in Mass Effect 1 or the skills that turns off overheating for like 45 seconds. Skill issue.

  ETCviperidae (@ETCviperidae) reported 49 minutes ago

  @gerogeroR I think a sci fi that actually shows the difficulty of a multispecies federation that doesn't gloss over the trouble caused by distinct life would be interesting. Mass effect got the closest but they still showed things mostly functioning normally on the citadel.

  The clips corner (@OptmistSunday) reported 57 minutes ago

  @Cloveruu98 @WeAreMassEffect i believe that it was. i played it post all the patches, i really didnt experience all the broken-ness people did on release. despite the game being mostly bug free, the mass effect formula just wasnt properly adapted to an open world formula, game got boring kinda fast.

  tom bombadil (@Authw8) reported 59 minutes ago

  @The_Huskarl hey derry-do i have a problem for you how do you expand the audience for a big budget game like mass effect 2 without removing all the elements that made the franchise interesting in the first place? hey-ho yellow boots or something

  Wait, people skip Mass Effect 1? Is this a thing? Surely not. Mass Effect 1 isn't some problem child or inferior game we all just slog through in order to get to no2. It's brilliant, you learn the universe, become a S.P.E.C.T.R.E, Garrus, meet Saren, Garrus, explore, Garrus.

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

  @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
