  @Tectone Exactly. It seems the main problem with GoW is that they are using the wrong franchise. Its like when Mass Effect tried Andromeda without Shepard. I still liked the game as its own game, but I wasn't nearly as invested in it as I was with the trilogy.

  @moonchild23580 I don't smoke or drink. Had an alcoholic and chain smoking father. Never want my kids to see anything like that. It was awful. But for me.. I'll get lost in music . Tv.. movies . Or the biggest one video games. Games like Skyrim, fallout 4, starfield or the mass effect series. Those help me a lot with my issues.

  @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.

  @Faubaulaus Mass effect 1 is unfortunately the best in the series, not even close. And Mass effect 1 has a lot of problems

  @1GamewithDave1 I can't say it matters all that much. The only time it was an issue for me was Mass Effect. I selected FemShep and was grossed out because dudes kept hitting on me or misreading my dialogue choices as invitations to romance. It was a very educational experience.

  @Knight10293847 I’d say the same thing about Mass Effect…go find these Turian Insignias knowning that some Lovecraftian Horrors are about to invade the galaxy. Almost any open world game has this issue. Skyrim only escapes it by having a plot so uninteresting you don’t care about the narrative

  @MadBotanist2001 @trashpandorabox @buxgarii if you make the choice then thats what you pick? If i pick femshep in Mass Effect and during the first mission decide I want to be the male one, I can't just change it ***** nilly can I Ironically the mirror in Dragon Age would fix that issue actually

  @FiadhBaikal Reminds me of what they did with Mass Effect Andromeda. Had an actual model be the face capture and basis for the default female MC, she looked fine in the preview. Then for the final release they puffed up the face and it looked like **** Not a reference problem, a dev problem

  @YoureIdeaIsBad i 100% agree, i still don’t understand why mass effect was allergic to the use of body cams😭 a lot of the problems in the trilogy could have been solved w a simple camera, esp moments like the talk with sovereign in virmire

  @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.

  tried to fix my typo before posting and it tried to edit the at will cain part. x is odd today. your question about the lake might have a mass effect ;p

  to anyone saying that people who don't like the new god of war because you hate woman and female lead characters in games, or you only like characters that are half naked and 'hot', which i am one of those people who does not like the new god of war i love Cynder the dragon, the second lead in legend of spyro dawn of the dragon, how is she half naked and hot? i love Grace Ashcroft who is not half naked, she is also one of the lead characters, i love Claire Redfield, she is not half naked, also a second lead, Lara Croft, yes she is technically half naked, but i do not find her 'hot', i love female Shepard from Mass Effect, she is not half naked, she is also the main character, unless you choose male Shepard, i love Jill valentine, she is not half naked, she is also the second main character, i don't find any of these characters 'hot', but i still love playing them, because they are interesting characters, i play video games because i want a good story with good characters, if you are going to make your lead a female, make them interesting and not bland that are perfect in every way, just to put bs diversity, none of these characters i mentioned are perfect and bland, they make mistakes and have problems, that is what makes them good just like most male characters are not perfect, Kratos is a literal murderer who is technically a villain, Leon is a rooky cop in re2 and fails a lot through the game, and in re9 he is trying to fix a mistake he believes is his fault, Ethan from re7 and 8, is a regular guy who struggles his entire way through, in 8 he is trying to rescue his daughter, he is not perfect but he pushes through all these characters are good and interesting because they are not bland, they are strong characters but they are not perfect, that is why people love them, and that is why people do not like most modern games with female leads, because it is not about making good games, it is about putting diversity where it should not be

  @gerogeroR I think a sci fi that actually shows the difficulty of a multispecies federation that doesn't gloss over the trouble caused by distinct life would be interesting. Mass effect got the closest but they still showed things mostly functioning normally on the citadel.

  The White Queen (@WhiteQueenNV) reported 30 minutes ago

  The problem, I think is that Baldur's Gate 3's romance and really character writing in general is actually kind of piss weak. Nobody feels like an actual person. It is so much weaker and less coherent than anything from early Dragon Age or Mass Effect.

  @Nick_White_AOS I tried so hard to like Veilguard and Andromeda had mad potential if they didnt force the live service crap. The reason why Kotor and Mass Effect 1 stand the test of time is because thats when Bioware did what THEY wanted and weren't studio slaves

  Surely not❄️🔥🦊 💜🦴🐟 💔💙 (@inth3nearfuture) reported 34 minutes ago

  @CorbynRed Its funny how, everytime someone says that, they basically JINXED the Game and Studio to fail. I heard people say that to Vailguard... Now Vailguard is the Reason that, if Mass Effect is not absolutely and 100% appealing to the predominantly male audience, the Studio will close. Then we have Avowed, which underperformed so hard, with "The Outerworld 2" as follow up Titel. AC Shadows: I would assume they are still in the Red, AT BEST near "broken even". Coming from a monstrous Company we saw, that even those games can fail. And EVERY. SINGLE. TIME... i got the statement "They will sell extremely good" and further cope... At the end, every game underperformed massively.

  @onlypushinp @dreadwolf_solas Mass effect had big problem beetween 2 and 3 with some story part being scrapped, it is coherent because of the protag, the cast and the ennemy who in the end don’t change. You jusy can’t do that with DAO for example.

  @Pirat_Nation Of course EA had a problem with it 😒 Y'all remember when EA was responsible for Mass Effect, NFS, and sports games in the early 2000s? Great games there.. not anymore.

  @ray_ray200108 Sale vs non-sale. You can't be that stupid? I bought DBZ Kakarot for £2.74 Mass Effect Trilogy 4.99 Origins 7.99 MCC 3.99 Halo 5 3.99 These are non issue prices. 25 for Metal Gear is a genuinely good price considering its age, but lets not actually like digital doesnt sale

  May Greenfield (@Smiley_Gate) reported 38 minutes ago

  I had constant issues with Shepard looking crosseyed in Mass Effect 3. I figured maybe I just ****** up the character creator somehow. To experiment I went in the ME3 Appearance Mod menu (A mod) and changed the "EyesOut" setting to +0.100 and I never had this problem again.

  @IGN Dude REALLY makes it so much easier to relish over the failure of Mass Effect: Andromeda. While yes a big part of the problem was EA, BioWare became utter **** and their quality tanked as they havent released a good game since the ME2/DA:O era. “Chuds” win yet again, get ******

  Big Dan (@bigdanhere) reported 39 minutes ago

  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

  @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

  @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.

  If Capcom somehow handles this correctly and fixes the big issues I had with this game, then I will stop telling people it disappointed as much as Mass Effect Andromeda. I loved the first game and always thought the bones were there in the second, but it was missing so much.

  @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.

  @nuhre_ From what I saw the problem is they have Mass Effect Andromeda level writing, with characters that won't STFU in combat always having a quirky statement.

  @SleepyCount @Pirat_Nation Yea. Mass Effect is nearly 20 years old. Obsidian are owned by Microsoft. BG3 was made on a 100m budget. They really shouldn't have trouble gaining funding for a BG3 level RPG.

  @tokyosdaughter hmmmm this is a bit of a take where i can have mixed feelings much as i dislike woke and DEI and all that shi. Didn't mass effect / kotor followed a similar pattern? it was ok issue should be indoctrination ig but art and design different have always existed, not a fan tho
