  @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.

  I got into Mass Effect not too long ago and now I’m about to witness it crash and burn again

  @SicklyTheNinJa My issue with Mass Effect is that the FIRST playthrough of every game is a fantastic time... but then replays are an absolute slog. In fairness, I also feel this about KotOR1. But KotOR2 I still happily come back to every couple years.

  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.

  @RenfailSoL But the biggest problem that Starfield did is advertise "expansive space combat, exploration, ship building" and at launch, ship building. The space side felt lackluster that's why. If MassEffect advertised space combat but then gave us what Starfield did, I'm sure ppl complain

  My problem with Avowed is it feel familiar and while the voice acting is good and even has Garrus from Mass Effect as a companion character the actual story and character are just kinda flat and uninteresting. Not a bad game but also missing....something.

  Seen some takes on this going around, so I'll put my two cents in as a Bioware fanboy Bioware needs to make another Mass Effect, this is non-negotiable. But their problem is not needing a new IP or whatever, their problem is a fundamental flaw with their development (1/6)

  @IffsSherp @madcap412 That is kind of the problem isn't it? Origins was a product of a time when devs had to be cautious about the progressive themes and it worked for Origins and Mass Effect. Veilguard was written by insufferable activists that had a head troon whose only qualification was the Sims.

  @WeAreMassEffect The one major hurdle for the mass effect tv show is to fix that ending in ME3 and is Sherpard dead or alive to set up ME4 as well

  @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.

  @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

  @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

  @TigoODonnell Yeah, like this is a baffling statement bc I do not think there is a way to make mass effect more like television/cinema than it already is. Unless the problem is that today's media ecosystem moves too fast for something like a Star Trek or BSG to thrive

  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.

  @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.

  @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

  @JamieMoranUK I've been wanting a faithful Mass Effect adaptation since I played the games back in the day. I'm a huge Mass Effect fan, and now everybody in entertainment must have an IQ of 80 or below to get in. My heart is broken.

  @cheersitskatie Oh look another stupidity oozing, men hating ***** wannabe fan not worthy of the inclusive Mass Effect fandom. Kindly piss off, you don't understand the games and themes of coming together and resolving issues with each other while facing existential threats like the Reapers.

  There’s really no issue here they have collaborated with other mature franchises such as Mass Effect and Fallout

  @RazorFist Mass Effect 1's only real problem was the combat. The story, atmosphere, dialog, and setting were fantastic. ME2 changed it from an RPG into an action game where you had some skill points. The gameplay was tighter but the story was half-assed and the final boss was a joke.

  People just need to accept when their stuff just isn’t very good at its core. I didn’t find the gameplay to be the issue with Andromeda, though it could have done with better level design. It was the writing, and many people play Mass Effect for the writing. The plot felt boring to go through and lacked the gravitas that the original Mass Effect had. Things happened, but never did I really think they mattered all that much. That is very much due to the party members, who didn’t feel all that distinctive at all from on another or were just so forgettable beyond their shared snark that I just tuned them out after a while. The dialogue choices themselves lacked any weight because most of the time you just said the same thing, but either as a jerk or a nice person. That makes choosing dialogue a chore, not something you really have to think about. The combat was pretty good though, I’ll give it that, though rather than letting us switch to all classes I’d rather they have much more robust class systems with deeper skills and specializations. That creates much more unique scenarios per playthrough rather than just swapping to whatever at any point in the game. Recognize your faults when people point them out. Dismissing those criticizing it at “chuds” is such a cope you just sound pathetic.

  @Waefent "butchering for DEI" as if mass effect itself isn't diverse and inclusive already, this is not the problem in the slightest

  Mystic Geek (@MrsGeekyLatina) reported 43 minutes ago

  Bad take because Patrick Weekes wrote Mordin, while the lead writer of Mass Effect was Drew Karpyshin. Also, Casey Hudson had the final say on what went into Mass Effect. Veilguard’s issue is the overall writing not just one character.

  He's not targetting "mass effect fans" with his comment there. He's targetting the types of online creators that take one inch of a controversial topic and pick at it for months on end, applying criticisms (like "SJWs") that aren't even relevant to the core issues at hand.

  @ByanBenyolds @MythicMgames I completely understand that I have games in my catalogue that I have not touched yet again like all the other posts I responded to the reason I thought this individual was lying was strictly because most of us know who are massive mass effect fans since it’s inception how contentious Andromeda was. The game nearly single-handedly destroyed the mass effect franchise the amount of vitreal in hate over a decade. It’s hard for me to believe that someone that is a fan of the series has no idea about and it’s just trying to rage bait. Again, the game was so terrible that they canceled DLC That’s all, again I have no issue with the hustle

  @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

  Kenji S (@Kenjis9965) reported 54 minutes ago

  I disagree on this You absolutely can make a new Mass Effect game. There's plenty of ways to go about this. Andromedas issue was not Ryder.. And Andromeda I feel would have been improved with some DLC And I'm very tired of Veilguard being a punching bag in these arguments

  @BobWhencer @wwarrior_1 But they love the mass effect in the eyes of EA Mass Effect team can do no wrong, but the dragon age basically is a giant ******* failure to them because there there was a whole article that came out that explained their history of why dragon age games had so many problems

  “Busy workin” is not an update. It’s what studios say when they need players to stay calm while they figure out whether the next thing is actually coherent. Mass Effect doesn’t have a lore problem. BioWare has a trust problem. Silence stops feeling strategic when the last few years went the way they did.
