  Juriyafx | Kael (@juriyafx) reported 5 minutes ago

  @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.

  @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.

  @Blazeon_TV @FiadhBaikal The idea is ****. The movie might be ok. Eragon was decent....if you didn't call it Eragon. Disney's The Black Cauldron was decent as long as you change the title as well (butchered the story terrible. Some oarts right, other oasrts terribly wrong). This will be one of those. Decent show. Terrible parts in design because of "woke". Matt Damon being in it, (I guess he is Odysseus?), that's the part to focus on, for if it is a proper "Odyssey" , it will follow Matt Damon's Odysseus, and leave Elliot Jerkulese, and Helen of Africa, after their small part. No issues with the black actress or the mentality ill woman who became " a man". More power to them, live & let live. They both know the truth. They are taking place in a classic work, they feel they have a right to be the main roles because of their "I should be in this because I can be not what I look like or what I really am". Now. ....take Mass Effect for instance. This same thing happened...BUT ...the right way. The Elcor....did their own variation of "Hamlet". But whoe WHOLE CAST was Elcor. So, it make 100% sense. If the Odyssey was redone, on a "what if people of dark skin dominated these isles and this region during thw creation of this" THAT...would at least make sense. So...we need to find a bold director to make Malcom X. Only making X white, hanging out with the blacks. Maybe then, some of the "woke" would understand more.. *hears wood stacking up for a massive burning at the stake....*

  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

  @kalaelizabeth I don't really see the problem. A lot of these games are citing inspiration from mass effect and this one is being headed by former bioware employees. It's like complaining that a videogame was called a souls-like when it cites dark souls as a direct inspiration

  @NufinButGrief For me I remember ea launcher wasn't letting me sign in even after changing my password and it's what made me drop mass effect lol

  @takasiraVT I think the issue is Nintendo. They won't take chances anymore. Imagine a Star Fox that was like Mass Effect: third person shooter, with swappable crew, OPEN space combat, an RPG system, currency. But no. We'll get another rail shooter, and just be happy we got anything

  @Redesestelares What's wrong with having female characters? Like Mass Effect has both and the female voice actress does a much better job. It just sounds like you just have a problem with women.

  piratelincoln (@piratelincoln) reported 27 minutes ago

  @SicklyTheNinJa My issue with Mass Effect is that the FIRST playthrough of every game is a fantastic time... but then replays are an absolute slog. In fairness, I also feel this about KotOR1. But KotOR2 I still happily come back to every couple years.

  @RinoTheBouncer @dawiddrzala what about game file size. there's only so much that can be fit on a disc and a disc only utilizes specific data compression formats. mass effect 2&3 tried to solve this by splitting the game on 2 discs but it wasn't as effective as they hoped. the issue is that it will happen

  Go fix the ending to Mass Effect 3. . .

  If it’s an RPG with a choice, I’m picking the guy. Mass Effect, Pokemon, Skyrim, Cyberpunk, etc. I’m never picking a girl. It just feels weird saying “this is my character.” But a game like Stellar Blade, Eve isn’t supposed to be me so I have no problem with it.

  @trepidofficial I have been waiting for a video game crash ever since Mass Effect 3 in 2012 I won't lie, I too used to fall for the remakes and remaster trap, but not anymore, I'm done, I'm up till here with this **** I want this industry to burn, and nintendo to go with it, they deserve it

  LylatLegend (@mondayboi126) reported 32 minutes ago

  @Polygon So that means even less live service games? I’m all in on that. We need single player + multiplayer hybrid games back. Uncharted 2 had multiplayer. Perfect Dark had multiplayer. Mass Effect 3 had multiplayer.

  @ElkenrodKarmic @tekarino @QuiteShallow Broski you brought up Mass Effect Andromeda. I was simply bringing up other examples. As for Taash, as i said in my other comment. I have problems with their writing but i disagree that they're terrible

  Kala Elizabeth (@kalaelizabeth) reported 38 minutes ago

  The problem isn't that the games are similar btw. It's the "is this mass effect 5?" "Is that tali?" "Where's the dialogue wheel?" comments from people who can't separate the two. People want Mass Effect I get but don't hate the game when it isn't that. Just play Mass Effect 😭

  @DJSnM I got the joke (I love Mass Effect) but the naming problem is real

  HurtboxTV | MS-623 EWGF Custom Type (@HurtboxTV) reported 46 minutes ago

  The biggest issue is that the average consumer got into the MCU and it made a gorillion dollars so other companies focus tested the **** out of what the normies actually liked. They then took that information and figured "if we apply this to literally everything we will make tens of gorillions!" Not realizing that not only would this invite the wrong crowd in, it would push out the ones already there who were buying their products. There's a reason modern AAA gaming sucks and it's because normie level MCU enjoyers figured if they liked slop and ironic quickly dialogue with sassy characters that everyone else would. They then proceeded to nuke every franchise they've been a part of with one dimensional characters and sassy girlbosses in a "subversion of the genre/media you're used to" type writing. It's funny when you think about it that there are very few IPs that never fell into this trap and they're doing just fine if not better. Franchises like Gears, Halo, Mass Effect, etc all used to take themselves seriously to some degree. They had writers who cared about telling a story and making a game that was fun to back it up. Now it's live service, accessibility, representation,and a whole host of other dog **** design decisions that took these games from console sellers to the bargain bin on the verge of collapse. The video game industry needs to pop again. Cause right now all my favorite franchises ******* suck and I only enjoy playing either indie games or gacha games like Nikke and GFL2 atm.

  @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.

  Sometimes I remember that most of the older mass effect players are gonna HATE me if they ever meet me cause I absolutely baby Harbinger and I have. no issues with that. That is my bug/octopus husband. He is my baby that tolerates me running around while he causes chaos. mweheh.

  @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.

  @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?

  @BobWhencer @wwarrior_1 But they love the mass effect in the eyes of EA Mass Effect team can do no wrong, but the dragon age basically is a giant ******* failure to them because there there was a whole article that came out that explained their history of why dragon age games had so many problems

  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

  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.

  @HeavensFirstMan As many others have pointed out, Minecraft isn't a game just for kids, and it's already had several "Mature" game crossovers before, such as Dead Space, Halo, Mass Effect, Call of Duty, etc. For that reason i don't see an issue. That said, these skins look genuinely bad.

  @HaydenGrac70340 @SuperMarioT_YT The marketing has nothing to do with the console. I never played Arkham City on XBox Soni can't compare buti never had any issues with Mass Effect 3 and I did play that game on 360 and PS3. I care not at what resolution XCX ran, it played well.

  @Arron_TK Yeah. They hate single player games. I bet they cant wait to kill Mass Effect so they can tell Bioware “see? Nobody wants your games, how about making a live service shooter?

  @pixie_girl3 you're entirely missing the point. we don't have trouble with female protagonists. think about Aloy from Horizon, or Laura Croft from Tomb Raider. we're just sick and tired of the cultural engineering. They turn Thor into a woman, ruined the Star wars franchise, same with Amazon and the Lord of the rings TV show. Mass Effect Andromeda killed their franchise as well. gamers just don't want to be preached at. we don't want to be told how we're supposed to think and feel about anything.
