  @splitcann @GamewithDave That may actually be my problem. I never played the first one, so I never got connected to the overall story and the characters the same way I did with, say Mass Effect or Dragon Age.

  I’m gonna ruin the fun with facts again. This isn’t new. It’s already been used successfully in multiple countries. Programs like Google’s Verily project release male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria. Think of it like the Genophage from Mass Effect. The males don’t bite, don’t spread disease, and basically spend their entire lives trying to get laid (literally me). When they mate with wild females (unlike you), the eggs fail to hatch. Fewer mosquitoes get born, mosquito populations crash, and disease transmission drops with them. Field trials have repeatedly shown 70 to 90%+ reductions in local mosquito populations, along with major decreases in diseases like dengue. It’s a targeted biological control method that’s already been deployed at scale with pretty impressive results. If you’re asking why a gear account is telling you this? Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong

  @theonewhoistobe @mrpyo1 No it did not I would have games released in a finished state rather than games launch in a buggy broken and unfinished state like battlefield 2042,the Lord of the rings golem, redfall Mindseye anthem, mass effect andromeda, concord, ssktjl marvel avengers fallout 76, and any games that launch with technical issues. And I agree with yongyea here

  It really does suck that in Mass Effect: Evolution it is marketed as "First Contact War Shown" and its ends so quickly its genuinely baffling. And not only that but the Illusive Man just goes to Illium like its no problem. First human on an alien world and no one cares. The other comics are much better but why did they introduce the Illusive Man like this? Sure show him in the First Contact war but don't make it seem like its about the conflict and also just let time pass so the next event makes more sense. Also having Saren encounter the Reapers this early is weird when he encounters them for what I presumed was the first time.

  @TonyadeVitti In the Mass Effect games the galactic Council solves that problem by forbidding A.I. but instead allowing "V.I."s - Virtual Intelligences that know EVERYTHING in a narrow specialization but nothing beyond that; a travel V.I. knows ONLY travel, translator V.I. ONLY languages etc.

  Romances in Baldur's Gate 3 aren't fundamentally different than Mass Effect from nearly 2 decades ago. BG3 is just a longer game. Still has the same annoying problem of either making a character dislike you or wanting to bang with no inbetween.

  i know it’s a mass effect thing and quickly the story gets out of control but please let’s not add unnecessary stress to our portion of the fandom. we are on the same side or at least we should be enough senseless discourse in fandom spaces. save it for ACTUAL important issues

  @PapitoQinn It could have been more and it could have been better unfortunately, they tried to imitate Mass Effect with the voice protagonist and narrower dialogue choices but the execution had a lot of problems.

  @ZeDoctorBlur Dean takahashi, he also didn't know how to level up his character in mass effect and was terrible at doom eternal, all of which he criticized for his own skill issue

  @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 issue, though; I was especially into mods, but they took up a lot of space. The mods I downloaded for Mass Effect took up nearly 20 GB in total. Now, since my new system doesn’t have an HDD, I can’t download many mods.

  @army1325air So, make us kinda like a lite version of the Turians, I got it. I don't disagree, in fact I'm with you. I'm just worried about degrading the value of everyone's service. @grok mind explaining who and what I'm referring to when I mentioned the Turians from Mass Effect?

  @SynthPotato What? Hahaha these graphics are juat bad. Ciri was also bad and guess what? CDPR brought in some guys from UE5 to work with them and now ciri looked good graphically cause its an engine issue. This about on the level of hilarious **** that the animation of mass effect Andromeda was for many of these things. The western studios are falling and its no wonder why foreign companies and governments are buying them cause they aren't make anything good.

  @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.

  @Beastiarii @Darket696 @K__Med This is a misconception sadly. Robbie Bach was in charge during Xbox's most successful era. He's the one who launched the Xbox 360, he's the one who helped organize many of the studios and the companies IPs. Such as Halo, Gears, Fable, Forza etc. He was the one who planted a flag for exclusivity for titles like Bioshock and Mass Effect 1. he was head of Xbox until 2010. 5 years after 360's launch. That means that many of his decisions and efforts ran through to 2012. He's also the reason you got the NXE, Blades, Xbox Live, and the many deals for things like Netflix. When Mattrick took over in 2010, Xbox 360 was already a success and leading PS3. He greenlit the Kinect. He was the one who didn't continue the acquisitions of exclusives and studios while sony was stacking release after release after release. During his time he lost momentum and the PS3 caught up and surpassed the Xbox 360 in sales. He looked at the usage data of Xbox 360 users and decided that since most Xbox users use the 360 to stream entertainment that taking kinect to the next level and integrating a dying technology like cable TV into the xbox was the way to go. That lead to him setting course of the hardware and OS team to change direction for the Xbox One. It was under his watch that a shfit to overly strict always on connections was decided for Xbox. Then in 2013 he revealed the hardware, told 80m xbox 360 gamers that they should stay on 360 if they didn't want an online connection. This resulted in the walking back of a heavily integrated drm system and publication process that wrecked the XBox XDK to the point that it actually got worse. Ruined Xbox's reputation. Destroyed their good will. Gave Sony the opportunity to pull out in front for the next generation. Did I mention these decisions also hurt the hardware architecture of the Xbox One because focus was put on non gaming features instead of game development? Well that happened. Xbox One VCR model was inferior to the PS4. At 100 dollars cheaper with a proper architecture suited for modern games that weren't madden. Sony trounced on them. That isn't even getting into the stupid name he green lit that gave gamers a way to taunt the brand, X-BONE. This lead to the quick dismissal of Don Mattrick from his position as he went to zynga. This lead to interim leadership with Julie Larson-Green for the following year until Phil could take the position in 2014. That means Mattricks plans were still in play, Julie was forced to hold an umbrella for someone else. Competent enough for the job imho, but never given the opportunity to prove herself to do so, since she was just there to keep the lights on. Then Phil came on board and had to right an already sinking ship that was being outsold 2.3 to 1. That gap would never close. Phil started out his first full year in 2015. They redesigned the One for the One S to put it on better or equal footing with the PS4. Got rid of the Kinect and made it possible for the VCR model to better compete. Gave us the One X and Backward Compatibility program (which was not cheap). Launched game Pass. by time he corrected these things his one weakness began to over take him. He doesn't know how to run studios. He's no Shuhei Yoshida (neither is anyone at sony these days mind you). By time all of this came together in 2017, the xbox was delivering compelling exclusive software. It was taking 3 years or more to get something out the door. Game Pass sabotaged any chance at a win they had. Just look at how poorly gears 4 and 5 did as a result, especially with that 1 month free. Discounts for the Halo MC steelbook and halo 5 steel book were dirt cheap within a matter of months. Day one game pass killed xbox and that was probably his first true bad move. Mattrick wouldn't have done a better job in this regard. I feel game pass was inevitable. Mostly because of Satya Nadella's position on software when he took over. Windows, Office, Cloud, anything microsoft was either cloud or subscription models. Do with that what you will, but this is why I start pointing to Satya as the actual problem here. Gears and Halo could have helped make Xbox healthy. Again assuming woke changes and other crazy nonsense wasn't at play. I have separate opinions for that and they are equally as negative. So where does that land us? two ceo's left with a dumpster fire because of two men. Don Mattrick and Satya Nadella.

  it sounds so silly to wonder if I should get final fantasy 7 or mass effect andromeda lmao but I’m curious on how the mass effect franchise changed and the problems people had with it myself! I could always watched a review for it but it wouldn’t be the same yk?

  @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.

  @DanVMaul Halo Reach & Gears 3 were the only 1st party games. Mass Effect 2 was timed. Witcher 2 was exclusive by happenstance But you just showed that Xbox was relying heavily on 3rd party exclusives which was the problem & dwindled as time went on

  @AndorianRespect You mean, after the end of Mass Effect 1? The problems with ME3 are a direct result of ME2.

  @Sebbywebz My big issue with the ending is the hard cut from everyone running out of the northern crater to the indeterminate time later scene. It very much came off like if mass effect 2 suddenly spliced in the stills from the extended cut of me3 when Shepard jumps to the Normandy.

  @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

  @kachi_uchay @olusesan__tolu I don’t see the issue. TLOU left behind told us how she discovered she was immune. The Witcher 3 blood and wine did send-off for Geralt. Mass effect 3 expanded upon shepherd. Plus the dlc was Free

  @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
