  @OrikonMods One of the few things stopping me from replaying Mass Effect story after more than a decade of having not played it is the fact that many of the best mods have serious compatibility issues with each other. I want them all, but I can only have some of the mods.

  So, it took me a long while to realize Veilguard was just Mass Effect 2 because I was forcing myself to see it in a Dragon Age box. But also I don't think Veilguard really hits that Mass Effect 2 plot set up until the City choice. Before it feels like its live service remnants had it visit every major hub so that the grind could start for it. Only for that to be changed and now they had to change it because they could. And the Mass Effect 2 plot set up works well enough to visit different locations and do it multiple times.

  @Xvault2 Mass Effect combat was serviceable, I enjoyed it as much as I did Fable's. It worked, I had no problem with it. You're not getting my point here lmfao. Mass Effect, Fable and other similar games don't have standout combat. They have ton more gameplay elements at play.

  @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.

  @PeterP_1985 @jasonschreier I've been seeing poor decisions like this in the industry ever since BioWare attempted live service slop with Anthem. They should've given Anthem to their Montreal studio while the main studio in Edmonton worked on Mass Effect: Andromeda, but they did the reverse and paid for it.

  @CorbynRed So, I take a number of issue here. For one, this probably isn't a person who is high up in the organization and is just someone on the ground or a manager. I can't think of why a PIF head would comment on Mark Darrah's videos. For two, he is really glazing EA for being well managed when this management has lead to BioWare being reduced severely and other studios as well. For three, the fact that he said that after Mass Effect that BioWare will be deployed as creative support is worrying. Like okay. I guess they won't be fired but that is not really good for the creatives of BioWare to just be support. Though I find it odd he calls Andromeda "a touch too creative for a lot of fans," I wonder if he means that positively or negatively. And finally this guy could literally just be lying and making this up. Even if he wasn't I find it hard to believe that a PIF person in a high position would be commenting on a Mark Darrah video. Or any video for that matter.

  @kalaelizabeth I don't want to call them "woke" because thats not the right word and its become a sledgehammer like so many others. Mass Effect and Dragon Age always had societal themes and engaged with social issues ahead of their time (Dragon Age got gay marriage before the U.S.A)

  @JamesMagnus101 @superharek @ApuBobr Tbf wasn't it in mass effect that been a year or 2 since I last played an power issue because how they use lasers in that universe also generally they lost too much energy at a distance to be viable so they were onmy used for CQC but ships didn't really have that armor for it

  @nuhre_ They also have a massive problem with mass effect 5, juat conceptually. It won't be a sequel to andromeda so it has to be 3. Now are we playing shepherd again or a new character? Anything but destroy reapers seems impossible to really continue. What choices do we go with? Do we import? Really hard to do now so will we pick? There are so many setting issues involved which will cause massive problems. And thats before we even begin.

  So far my problem with the game is that somehow I still don't feel like I am playing a mass effect game, it just has a totally different feel to it that I find it hard to get used to 😭

  @EA @EAHelpOfficial_ I still have not received a response or resolution regarding either issue documented in this case. Mass Effect: Andromeda will not connect to EA’s online services on my account. This prevents me from accessing the game’s online and multiplayer functionality. I have already attempted the available troubleshooting steps, but the problem remains unresolved. Second, I purchased Mass Effect: Andromeda multiplayer DLC packs specifically for online multiplayer content that I cannot access because the game will not connect to EA’s services. I am therefore requesting a refund for those online DLC purchases. The purchased content is unusable through no fault of my own. This case has already been pending without an adequate response. Please escalate it to a support representative who can examine my EA account, game entitlements, and purchase history and provide an actual resolution. Thank you.

  @akidderz @Cromwelp This was the problem with Midnight Suns. Not that they talked too much, but that it was odd hybrid that didn't find its market. I liked the talk AND the combat. And Mass Effect had tons of talk and did well.

  @atharia_ true but honestly i hope they do sell mass effect and bioware. EA is simple a cancer for bioware that along side it owm problems only leads to more conflicts

  @AMWorley_Writer @drowwpoison @kalaelizabeth It makes more sense when you look at Mass Effect 3's multiplayer as the reason why EA wanted to get so heavily into loot boxes and live service in the first place, it was wildly successful where Inquisition's multiplayer failed and they were chasing that high ever since

  Kelsey (@pwu80d) reported 36 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

  @gielmont This game conflicts me because many parts of it are very well done, but then other parts are just repetitive fetch quests. Mass Effect Andromeda was made using the same engine near the same time, I think, and suffers many of the same problems.

  @WeezSays @LonoSG Not true for all of them. Steam’s own offline-mode FAQ even says games that use an external launcher often won’t start. You lose multiplayer, sure. But a lot of single-player titles still won’t launch if EA App, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar, or CDPR’s REDlauncher can’t phone home. I’ve had that exact problem with Mass Effect Legendary Edition (EA) and Witcher 3 after the next-gen launcher got added. “Steam games play offline” is true for some Steam games. It’s not a blanket rule when the publisher bolted a second storefront onto the install.

  @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.

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

  @Pies_of_Lee Veilguard is just a continuation of the same writing issues that plagued mass effect Andromeda but the same reactionaries were too busy bitching about a trans character in that game too

  @rockisinfinite the problem is not that they arent mysterious anymore. its that the way the mystery was unveiled was poorly done and full of retcons this is the kind of thing that ruined the reapers in mass effect, and would ruin stuff like gman in half-life if valve were ever as dumb as 343

  @The_Lord_Otter This is the problem with many games today. The graphics are amazing, but it’s all the same vanilla. This is your basic third-person perspective GTA, RE, Assassin’s Creed, Mass Effect, yada yada regurgitation of something else. Does it look fun? Sure, but it’s the same flavor with a few new sprinkles.

  No official word that EA’s new owners will sell BioWare — just strong LBO logic. $55B deal closed this week with ~$20B debt. Standard playbook: cut costs + sell non-core assets. BioWare fits (Veilguard miss, Anthem flop, now <100 staff, no reliable cash flow). Analysts flagged it months ago; ex-producer Mark Darrah noted selling studios/IP can knock real money off the debt. Waiting for the Amazon Mass Effect show (filming late 2026 → 2027-28 release) could revalue the IP like Fallout did. Smarter long-term move on paper. But debt has a clock (~$1B+/yr interest). Private owners usually prioritize quick deleveraging over waiting 18-30 months for an unproven TV boost. BioWare isn’t a cash engine like Sports or live service. If it does go on the block, the most logical buyers are Microsoft (Game Pass + RPG appetite) or Sony (single-player narrative strength). Amazon is a dark-horse option thanks to the TV series. Disney is a longer shot. Short-term incentives lean sell. Long-term value leans hold. We’ll see which wins.
