  @Ivan06102335 @DanticsOfficial I get that having more attractive characters makes the game better, but I'll never understand the need for RPG fans to romance in games. I'm the biggest Mass Effect fan there is but we are talking about pixels after all. I just hope they can fix some of the facial animations.

  @luskybe @DanticsOfficial Tim hijacking the role of the main villain feels completely contrived. And having service be the main enemy is contrary to what all the marketing showed. All the marketing showed us fighting Reaper forces. They didn't show us fighting Cerberus troops. Cerberus was established in the previous game to be an untrustworthy but important Ally. Mass Effect 3 was supposed to show us all putting our differences aside and fight a much larger mutual enemy. Instead we have 18 missions fighting Cerberus and only 11 fighting the Reapers, and fighting the Geth for five missions. And if Cerberus was brought in to diversify the enemy forces, well, the Reapers could have easily done that they intermixed the reaper units with the collector units.

  Something that always puts me off Mass Effect Andromeda during a replay are the returning Aliens, they are really awful. But what I mean by that is how they were redesigned, and animated. Ill explain what those issues are...

  @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

  @void_cache @Mangroxian I like to mod games, Mass Effect, Cyberpunk being a few of them, but the sheer amount of mods I download often takes up a good chunk of space, so I transferred them to the external hard drive. I try to mediate this issue by letting the game load in for 5 to 10 minutes, but its-

  @ShitpostRock Probably Mass Effect 2- almost everyone I know prefers it, and there's no question that ME1 had issues with the Mako, and was largely a worse game But I preferred the RPG shooting, including the heat/miss rate over the 'better' cover shooter mechanics of ME2. And ME1's story

  @PandaSub2000 I think @BioWare REALLY needs to fix “Mass Effect Andromeda”’s failure to load save game files game breaking bug.

  Rosalina's Top Luma (@ReactionaryLuma) reported 20 minutes ago

  @frogarchist My problem with ME3 is that ME2 clearly brought the series into a much more complex push and pull, and then 3 turns everything back into cartoonishly simple moral choices. Like there's a valid reason to be a renegade in Mass Effect 2. In Mass Effect 3 its just clip farming.

  @HossMatch Mass Effect has a good fix to this. Everyone is just using a universal translator that converts their language into the language that race understands. It also has some interesting oversights as well, like how the Elcor don't actually use a verbal language, but rely on body language and pheromones, so the translator makes them sound monotone with no emotion or inflections at all. Then there are some words that don't get translated as they don't have a comparison or the translation would be a whole sentence for a word or something, like when Tali says Keelah se'lai.

  @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.

  @DanticsOfficial The Mass Effect trilogy remains one of the most interesting and memorable sagas available. ME3's issues are varied and only catch up with you in the finale. Boring, anticlimactic, disconnected from your choices—and those RGB endings combined with those explanations turn a writing mistake into an insult to the player. Plus, the revised ending added via patch made a bad ending even worse. And the answer to your question is: NO! Just because worse things have come out in the following years doesn't make what EA/BioWare did any less severe.

  @MisterCiv Issue is it gives permission for them to do it in every game now. Star wars survivor series, won’t be able to use the force u less you buy an upgrade? Mass effect, only get some guns but good ones are all pay to play? That goes for any and every title they and their peers make.

  @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.

  @wesleytypes @DawnwalkerGame @RebelWolvesDevs Do you even comprehend how annoying it is to write a whole trilogy like this, or the numerous problems it caused mass effect? You know why they introduced a new solider in 3? Because all the previous ones could be dead. The dumbest people ruin those games.

  An analyst told CNBC EA might have to sell IP to service its buyout debt. Four days later, BioWare showed up in exactly that sentence. > Aug 2: CNBC quotes an analyst on the $55B EA buyout - "I don't know how EA is going to service this debt without... studio closures, and possibly IP sell-off" > the buyout added $18-20B in new debt to the balance sheet, confirmed across multiple reports this week > Aug 6: EA is reportedly looking to sell BioWare and other IPs specifically to pay that debt down > EA has not confirmed or denied it - the studio that made Mass Effect and Dragon Age is now a line item in a debt-service plan, not a press release Four days between "here is what selling IP would look like" and BioWare's name landing in that exact sentence is not a leak. It is a timeline. What is next on that list?

  @femshep_com @nib95_ But you are talking about a particular case (female Shepard). I'm talking in general. Totally different things. Just because few people had issues with it (Mass Effect case), doesn't mean that there's a general hate towards female protags, because there is not.

  Mass effect a little low, but other than that I see no issues

  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.

  It's pretty baffling how the Mass Effect team was so scared of mlm relationships. At least there's mods that fix that injustice.

  @MaroonKennedy Everyone wanted a space RPG. They just didn’t do a great job at making one. This probably wouldn’t be a problem that they made a new IP first if it was more like Mass Effect

  Varayen Trinity (@PenPwyll) reported 36 minutes ago

  @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)

  @shinobi602 No problem for me. I personally prefer the default character and the thing that bothered me the most in Mass Effect was that you couldn't change some things about default Shepard like hair, beard and Tattoos/Makeup

  @MassEffectHYPE From what I've learned the new mass effect is suppossed to take place after the events of ME3 problem is the game is taking to long and most of the hype it could have is dwindling fast , hell most think its a hoax and not really in development

  @jackshepfc I will so badly want to take over by aware and remake Mass Effect from the ground up. Restore all the cut content, and make the original rough draft mission a real thing and of course fix the giant plot holes and give players choices. Mass Effect 1 did not allow us to meld with Tevos in order to prove that the reapers are real. Mass Effect 2 did not allow us to be diplomatic with The mercenaries. There was a large bunch of side characters that I thought were really cool and I really liked and yet I was forced to kill all of them against my will. Mass Effect 3 would require a whole day to explain what is wrong with it. And Mass Effect Andromeda is an abomination.

  Richard Valdez (@RealRichardVald) reported 52 minutes ago

  @DanticsOfficial The only issue with using Mass Effect 1 if it doesn't really affect much besides one special mission in the first game in a few passing references in the sequels. I think Dragon Age would have been a better example

  Volk (@ladolcevolk) reported 53 minutes ago

  Nothing's set in stone yet on how Saudi management will affect EA but they're more interested in live service and sports titles. I expect Bioware to get sold off. I've seen people speculate Mass Effect and Dragon Age will individually be sold, but I doubt it.

• 
  Count of Arcadia (@ArcadiaCourt) reported 53 minutes ago

  @BasedChar_RE The problem for Mass Effect is that the ending to 3 is such an ending that you can’t go forward without addressing it, and Andromeda tried the reasonable concept of avoiding it. However, BioWare screwed it up from story to just making sure the game worked.

  JW 🍄 (@Sedevacationist) reported 58 minutes ago

  @XFerginatorX Destiny shouldn't have adopted the "MMO-lite" concept and should've been a story driven, open world "mass effect" 1-4 player co-op experience. But I guess that concept wouldn't make as much money as a live service game would.
