  My problem with Avowed is it feel familiar and while the voice acting is good and even has Garrus from Mass Effect as a companion character the actual story and character are just kinda flat and uninteresting. Not a bad game but also missing....something.

  @Authw8 Mass effect guns fire magnetically accelerated metal shavings from a small tungsten block inside them. This gives them near infinite ammo. In ME 1 the guns had overheating issues limiting them. In ME2 and onward thermal clip ejection was created to vent heat. It is what it is

  @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.

  @Flake_E_Mon @ShitpostRock2 Im not a trekie, so Im not sure, but I bet a executor star destroyer and a mass effect reaper can face a borg cube with little to no problem, which I think are the most imposing ships in the IP. The first one is 6 times larger, the other can one shot the cube with its main cannon

  @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

  @The_Epic_Mike Mass Effect is terrible as a cinematic experience. If they try to do a 1-1 of the game story into a TV Show, it will be terrible regardless of how much fan service they put into it. Every level of Mass Effect is designed to give you as many chances to shoot something as possible

  @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.

  @NerdTalksShow What about Mass Effect? In the latest PW issue there was another entry about it..

  @EXODUSGame @NoseOfDeath I hope this is peak like Mass Effect used to be . I need that fix

  @malanorea @BimbleWizard In Mass Effect one? Yeah, okay. It's a skill issue that the sniper rifle was so poorly programmed that the bullet literally teleports behind the target. Was fixed in Mass Effect 2.

  @ChampionsOTIce @LookAtMyMeat1 If they were in a combined reality. First thing that’s going to happen is the Imperial navy is going to destroy the Mass Effect relays. Indoctrination could be a problem but honestly if we’re talking WH30k there’s not a whole lot Reapers are going to be able to do against Titans and Imperial starships and that’s even before you factor in void shields. Ground units would fold like paper to Space Marines, Custodes, and Primarchs. I honestly doubt indoctrination would work on the Imperium super soldier units due to how complete their mental training is, and chaos has to literally corrupt the soul to get them to flip sides

  @KaiKai2492 Tbf, games have tried to implement the squad/command system (Brothers in Arms, Mass Effect). A core issue has always been 'why spend time ordering AI when I can just shoot them myself'.

  @spiral_archtct @Pirat_Nation The writing was really bad, but we can't ignore the technical issues. They were absolutely terrible at launch, like No Man's Sky or Cyberpunk. The only difference is that Mass Effect Andromeda never got its player base back, probably because of the writing.

  @DanticsOfficial I have my doubts about bioware making a comeback. They need to get out from under EA. After veilguard happened EA thinks it failed because it wasn't live service so they are probably going to make mass effect live service and kill the company when it fails.

  @LuisMay23930054 @kalaelizabeth Mass Effect without human-centric story won't work. It's already very generic sci-fi, without humanity's struggle to secure its place it won't feel like Mass Effect. That was one of Andromeda's biggest issues in story and world building

  @kalaelizabeth "chuds" made it a punching bag because the game was not up to standard for a mass effect game. people didnt like it because they have high praise for mass effect, until devs, etc realize this they will never discover that it is their problem to fix, not ours

• 
  ace_eisu (@ace_eisu) reported 33 minutes ago

  @kalaelizabeth See I feel like that's the issue to me. People want Mass Effect and there's certainly very strong elements of what Mass Effect is which Andromeda lacks some of and other part of community which thinks of ME as tale of Commander Shepherd and that's why it struggled the most.

  welp after 2 hours of trying to fix this hdmi port im going to have to go get it fix so no mass effect 3 finale this week got some variety later thought

  Ovan (@OvanVinte) reported 35 minutes ago

  @nuhre_ I'd argue Shepard is the least important part of mass effect, in none of the games I was ever excited to get more of Shepard, the character is a blank slate. The setting is rich with possibilities for new narratives, the problem is that bioware have been terrible for 10 years.

  People just need to accept when their stuff just isn’t very good at its core. I didn’t find the gameplay to be the issue with Andromeda, though it could have done with better level design. It was the writing, and many people play Mass Effect for the writing. The plot felt boring to go through and lacked the gravitas that the original Mass Effect had. Things happened, but never did I really think they mattered all that much. That is very much due to the party members, who didn’t feel all that distinctive at all from on another or were just so forgettable beyond their shared snark that I just tuned them out after a while. The dialogue choices themselves lacked any weight because most of the time you just said the same thing, but either as a jerk or a nice person. That makes choosing dialogue a chore, not something you really have to think about. The combat was pretty good though, I’ll give it that, though rather than letting us switch to all classes I’d rather they have much more robust class systems with deeper skills and specializations. That creates much more unique scenarios per playthrough rather than just swapping to whatever at any point in the game. Recognize your faults when people point them out. Dismissing those criticizing it at “chuds” is such a cope you just sound pathetic.

  choosing vanguard instead of infiltrator in #masseffect was a tactical error. Lotta geth

  @spaceshark23 @minkaodysseus @SimiaAlpha I need some solid advice Mass Effect Andromeda is on sale for 7.99 and I can get it a lil cheaper using xbox points. Should I get it?? I know Andromeda is a game with a fair bit of issues and woke bullshit sprinkled on top of it but 1/2

  Good lord, the fake Mass Effect fans disease is spreading coz WHY would anyone skip Mass Effect 1!? Honestly I feel this is an issue with gaming in general. People see evenba shred of a game showing its age and suddenly it's not worth playing. Idiots.

  @Pirat_Nation The biggest problem was the terrible writing, not the technical issues. Mass Effect games live and die on their writing quality and Andromeda was a huge fail in this respect.

  @BigSillyFunhaha @DAKKADAKKA1 That's actually the problem. Because like with Mass Effect... They did make a 3rd one.

  @BobWhencer @wwarrior_1 But what I mean is that the cringe stuff “” was not the problem with this game? The problem was that EA got too much control because they were like hey, you have a limited budget and then they’re like **** you we’re calling you’re the mass effect team. To rewrite everything.

  @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

  @SaraJoan11 You're making assumptions for everyone that played it. Like I and many have said, there were other problems with the game competely outside Shepard and their legacy. Having legacy at all can artificially boost a game. Who's to say without the Mass Effect brand the game would have even burst out of obscurity? Just because you enjoy the game enough to make a twitter page about it, doesn't mean others can't seperate their bias and fairly judge. You can like what you like but condescending to me doesn't change the facts. The game was rushed out the door and by doing so, a lot suffered. The pacing was off, the story wasn't incredibly cohesive, the characters weren't as compelling as they could be, it was riddled with bugs and problems, there was no real consequence to choice, the open world structure wasn't developed properly, etc. If a game can't grow on it's own at release, it is not healthy.

  @dionizije_fa @pcgamer I lost respect for Casey Hudson after the botched Mass Effect 3 debacle at launch that took forever to fix. 3 different colored explosions is the culmination of all of your choices throughout the series.
