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

  VengeanceOfSet (@VengeanceOfSet) reported 4 minutes ago

  @Pirat_Nation If they can so easily identify problems then apparently the dev ain't so grand either. No one attached to any level of decision making in the era of Mass Effect Andromeda / Anthem should ever be allowed to criticize game players. 2 platinum level franchise opportunities completely fumbled.

  @MichaelFKane @EidolonOracle I think the Star Child is less the problem than the color-coded ending options, even if people incorrectly associate the somewhat lacklustre ending with the Star Child. (Frankly, without the free update that they released, the ending to Mass Effect 3 sucked ***, but even with it, it wasn't amazing). But you're right. Hell, in Mass Effect's case, they were teasing the metaphysical twist from day 1. ME is an apocalyptic Biblical epic, after all. It would've made way less sense to NOT include the Star Child (or something similar). They just fumbled the implementation, likely due to budget/timing constraints.

  @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.

  @FionaCher12 My issue is that the devs in Bioware expressed clear interest in trying out a remaster for it, and EA told them no. The guys at Mass Effect in fact were the ones to pitch it bc EA had a clear favouritism problem and they were aware of it.

  @SoullessCorvus @For_Macragge It requires a lot of setup math. Hell I did Eve Online ships versus Mass Effect reapers years ago and it took about 300 pages of notes, math equations and a whole host of measurements. But the biggest problem is in finding a point of comparison. Compare the apples to the apples.

  🔬 The Two Big Categories Functional (Hormone-Secreting) These are the ones that really wreak havoc. They pump out excess hormone regardless of what the body actually needs: Type Hormone Excess Prevalence Prolactinoma Prolactin ~40% of all pituitary adenomas GH-secreting Growth Hormone Causes acromegaly in adults ACTH-secreting ACTH → Cortisol Cushing's disease TSH-secreting TSH → Thyroid hormone Rare Non-Functional These don't secrete excess hormone but cause problems through mass effect — compressing surrounding structures, disrupting normal pituitary function by crowding out healthy tissue.

  Exodus removing character customization feels like such an unnecessary rake to step on. Mass Effect has an iconic default protagonist look for Shepard, but still has options to customize and change his/her look to the player's liking. Such an unforced error

  @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..

  Halo Reach is the Mass Effect 2 the of Halo in that it's followed up immediately by a worse game but if you're smart you can see that it had all the same problems the whole time

  @wesleytypes @EA They never bothered to fix Andromeda and we never even got that Quarian DLC. If it’s not an immediate monetary success, EA will force the studios to abandon it. Much like Anthem, RIP. I don’t think we’ll get another Mass Effect for another 10 years, and that’s me being hopeful.

  @Tacofridge @Swurv__ No, that’s not a fix, at that point is no longer a BIG universe with hundreds of planets. If you like small you have Outerworlds, Mass Effect, Star Wars, etc. If you want BIG you have Starfield, No Man Sky, Elite Dangerous, Long Journey Home, Starflight. Is good to have both!

  @Captain_Haruno @Spartan_Eden Exactly the issue. Again Mass Effect books weren't required reading. Halo was just money grubbing

  My main issue with the Mass Effect universe is that it feels like they drastically underestimate what the populations of these worlds should be

  @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.

  @Dark_Emerald077 @tunechistark st how badass Kat is. the game that influenced me the most, Mass Effect, is also filled with cool women, and I never badmouthed any of them. the problem is korra is written like crap. just like that new marine gal in the halo remaster. it was never about what's in their pants.

  Mass Effect 3 was actually the best in the series and I had no problem with the original ending.

  @Larry13636248 @DevlinBrady3 @Wahoolet I don't think "woke" was a factor, but it has been a long time. The issue was that the game launched in a disastrous way, with graphical glitches during cutscenes. Mediocre writing, mediocre story, and it just didn't feel worthy of the Mass Effect name.

  @LordCharizard33 There have been failures similar to this. It is the gaming industry after all. EA/Bioware has had stinkers in the past that failed immediately like Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem though those were not live service like this.

  Fennec_Radar (@RadarFennec) reported 32 minutes ago

  @HowlingKaya @RespectElves Director doesn't matter as much as the narrative writer. Mass Effect 1 & 2 had the same director but different writer, and it shows. And guess what the big problem post Chris Obsidian games have? Really ****** writing.

  @XTuleta @renegator66 @ANTllSM So by that definition EA never made a bad broken Game. Battlefield 2042, Anthem, Mass Effect Andromeda, etc. are all the developers fault right?

  @Cthulhu_OwO I should [play] the Mass Effect Trilogy. No, really, I bought the whole thing for 5 bucks on Steam and it's been sitting on my library ever since. Everyone says that it's kino, but I got so many games to play... Younger me would be ashamed that I somehow think it's a problem !

  @TakoMowgli I'm using toybox for that problem... 👀 They should've used combined amount of conviction points for check instead of using amount of one conviction, like Mass Effect 3

  @art_rube The Mass Effect fandom has the exact same issue... Oblivious to the prolonged period of time that has occurred between the last release, and the last announcement for a new release. Like its been almost 5 to 6 years without a new game, and still they act like everything is fine.

  I just beat Mass Effect 3 for the first time and I am broken. I have synthesized the galaxy and ensured peace forever but no Shepard makes me sad. Best story in gaming I have played.

  Mf i got an unopened copy of mass effect legendary edition for 10 bucks for my xbone Halo MCC goes on sale regularly for 10 bucks, 6 games, pve, mp, AND pc modding for 10 bucks Fallout and Elderscrolls regularly go on sale Thats a skill issue

  @RinoTheBouncer I agree that this would've made a great Mass Effect spinoff. What if this was the planet the Normandy crash-landed on at the end of Mass Effect 3? With all of the mass relays destroyed, the Normandy crew presumably would've had to make the best of their situation on that planet.
