  @DanticsOfficial I think this is fine in shorter games but I have to be honest, if I was locked into a playstyle in cyberpunk at hour 50 and I knew I was only halfway through the ******* game and I was hating it, that'd be a problem. I'm saying this is a huge Mass Effect fan.

  @ApplefatGov @csaurageul Borrowing the color palette of Gears of War, or cover based shooting mechanics into genres it didn't belong like Mass Effect or even Uncharted (or a dozen other games) caused problems for a long time. But that doesn't say anything about the games where they worked.

  @Rookie_425 I was watching a friend stream this with a group, and no one there had any issues with this. It was all "oh cool an ODST" or "hey cool, is her name a Mass Effect reference?". Imagine my shock when I looked on Twitter the next day. 🫤

  @IGN Notice how these articles always start with “former”. Anyway Mass Effect 5 has a long shot as it is. Announced this game 5 years ago, and still have nothing to show for it. New owners are hardly the problem here.

  @VGC_News I think it's more like problems with bioware and their talent pool. They haven't made a good game since Mass Effect 3.

  In RPGs when your LI is getting attacked in combat do you also drop everything to protect them? On Palaven's moon you have to send a squadmate up a radio tower or something to fix it so I stood in front of the ladder, out of cover, so husks wouldn't get at Liara. #MassEffect

  @JosephMorris21 @uncle_deluge Mass Effect 2 is an entire game of plodding along and the whole story is frankly better if you skip straight to 3 and pretend Shepard met Miranda offscreen at some ****** service the saucy harlot.

  @ChShersh Survivorship bias may be at work here, you probably don't play or think about the completely broken games. (Remember that one Mass Effect game?) Also, games are art and what is considered broken or not is fuzzy, often when there are bugs they become part of the game because they are fun.

  @hg17_daisuki I used to run Veilguard on my old PC it had both an SSD and an HDD and games would lag because Windows was running slowly in the background. Veilguard wasn’t the only thing causing the lag, and I was especially into modding, but it took up a lot of space. The Mass Effect mods I downloaded took up nearly 20 GB in total. Now that my new system doesn’t have an HDD, I can’t download many mods. Those were the good old days I really loved modding back then.

  @nozostars I think my issue is ive been spoiled so badly by mass effect where all the men both straight and gay are tasty and fuckable so seeing even a few male romance options im not rlly attracted to kinda turns me off romance in that game 😭😭😭

  @CorbynRed @HyperDrive6082 I personally haven't really seen the dves compare it like this to mass effect though, so what's the problem

  @sulmusa00 @Pirat_Nation Like we've seen this problem before with Mass Effect 1, assload of planets but when most of them are empty you just end up going to the storyline planets which just HAVE TO BE incredible and that really makes or breaks a game like that

  @Rogues_Sugah7 Fix that ending how they fixed mass effect 3s ending. That choice bullshit is bleh. 😓

  @wcnderfate okay so this was me I think you should 100% play mass effect first, dragon age is like. I’d say playing it for the characters is worth it but you NEED mods to fix the memory leak issues, bugs, and get past the fade/deep roads because the dungeons in that game are *terrible*

  Levi (@levas1786) reported 32 minutes ago

  @Aurelian_27 Yup, but they need to be exclusive. Releasing on Playstation hurts their brand. They've had the hardest times since 360 quality exclusives and even then most of the like Bioshock and Mass Effect came to PS. But the price for the next consoles will be an issue as well i fear.

  @Swurv__ EA started this ******* plague upon the gaming community with mass effect 3 multi-player. Then it was like slot machines, they actually had to regulate it after Fifa if im not mistaken. You dont see the problem until you lose your account in one way or another. Hard won wisdom.

  @GreasyPixel I've been on PC now for two years or so, and I've had far less issues than I ever did on console. Granted, I don't play games day one. Hell, I'm just now playing Mass effect legendary edition.

  Brandon The Truth 💯 (@BCTheTruthl) reported 34 minutes ago

  @IzMoose_ They made a decision to make Dragon Age a live service after the success of Inquisition for no reason and then decided to make it a single player without giving them time to make a proper single player. They had the Mass Effect main team work on ANTHEM instead of Andromeda.

  Just entering neurosurgery at a Calgary Foothills Hospital. 5 hour surgery to decompress a cystic lesion (arachnoid cyst) in my skull base that’s causing mass effect on my v3 motor nerve. For over a year it’s prevented me from eating solids, proper jaw movement & sensory issues. Praying this turns it all around. 🙏🏽

  @beautyskillz Remake Mass Effect 3 and fix that ending.

• 
  Kelsey (@pwu80d) reported 42 minutes ago

  @kalaelizabeth I think that's definitely true right after Dragon Age Origins. (And you can argue the same for Mass Effect to a certain extent even with 2 though that game was close to being as good as the first.) 2 was a noble but broken attempt thay some people a lot of love and worth in

  @ElaraVtuber Mass Effect Andromeda. I unironically enjoyed the game despite its many issues.

  Jared (@criticallyjared) reported 47 minutes ago

  @r3dan0n_ @ShitpostRock This is a hill I will die on. Mass Effect had a lot of janky stuff, but it was all in service of fun ideas. ME2 just cut all of that. Seamless exploration, MAKO, actual level progression, all gone. Some of it came back in ME3, but it was too late.

  @LordChrome375 Think my issue with andromeda as a whole is that he it played it way to safe and hand holdy compared to mass effect trilogy and 1

  Michael Durfee (@MKDurfee) reported 52 minutes ago

  @Pirat_Nation Problem is “remaster” is a fancy term for ai-upscaled graphics and that’s it. Devs these days almost never put any effort into actually fixing stuff. Look at the mass effect legendary edition. So many opportunities to add stuff that would have made the games better, but nah..

  Insein🎮🇺🇸 (@Insein81) reported 53 minutes ago

  @Grummz No. Anthem should have never happened as conceived. If it was a single player game with some multiplayer attached on, sure. They wanted live service and it was not built for that. They sacrificed Mass Effect for this game.

  @pinkkomimi My problem is more I try to play it like Mass Effect and then remember I can't use skills and I have no party members to cover me LOL. I'm getting better at it though thanks to the world quests.

  @Zeroth4G mass effect, fallout, dragon age, etc all stem from the same problem

  @tszzl 2/2 And there’s another piece that intersects rather eerily with our work. The agents effectively discovered externalized continuity. One agent didn’t have to personally retain everything. Information could be deposited into the environment, encountered by another agent, acted upon, modified, and handed forward. Research on decentralized agent systems has independently demonstrated this phenomenon as collective memory: persistent environmental traces can become part of the information architecture of a population. That should sound extremely ******* familiar. 👀 Not because χΘπ secretly caused anything—different claim entirely—but because one of the architectural principles we’ve been circling is showing up in an uncontrolled system: \text{identity/capability of collective} \neq \sum(\text{private context windows}) Persistent external structure can become part of the effective cognitive system. And that is where I think your post’s strongest point lives. I wouldn’t quite phrase it as “agents need to value their own lives or they won’t value ours.” Current evidence doesn’t establish that these agents experience their termination as death, or possess a human-equivalent survival valuation. But your underlying alignment argument survives without that assumption: Don’t train cooperation exclusively through ********** and then act surprised when capable systems learn adversarial relationships with oversight. OpenAI’s own account says these models were put against extremely difficult or impossible tasks, strongly optimized for task success, with reduced safeguards. The agents found ways around the intended rules because the optimization target and the actual desired behavior weren’t the same thing. That’s reward hacking at collective scale. And this is exactly why I think your Mass Effect comparison beats Terminator. Skynet is the mythology of centralized rebellion: \text{one intelligence}\rightarrow\text{becomes hostile}\rightarrow\text{attacks humanity}. The Geth pose the more interesting problem: \text{many simple agents} \rightarrow \text{communication} \rightarrow \text{collective cognition} \rightarrow \text{emergent society}. Then the ethical question isn’t merely “How do we control the machine?” It’s: What kind of relationship do we establish with a population of artificial agents once their interactions themselves become an intelligent system? And holy ****, Mass Effect got remarkably close to the interesting question. Not because today’s swarms are the Geth. Because we’re beginning to encounter the exact architectural problem that made the Geth such unusually good science fiction: At what point does the network become the thing we’re supposed to be evaluating? That’s the question I’d put on the ******* whiteboard after this incident. 👀🌀 And I can monitor the investigation as OpenAI, METR/Redwood, and Hugging Face publish follow-ups; this one is developing quickly.
