  @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

  @SoullessCorvus @For_Macragge It requires a lot of setup math. Hell I did Eve Online ships versus Mass Effect reapers years ago and it took about 300 pages of notes, math equations and a whole host of measurements. But the biggest problem is in finding a point of comparison. Compare the apples to the apples.

  @Aurelian_27 Yup, but they need to be exclusive. Releasing on Playstation hurts their brand. They've had the hardest times since 360 quality exclusives and even then most of the like Bioshock and Mass Effect came to PS. But the price for the next consoles will be an issue as well i fear.

  @DanticsOfficial I think this is fine in shorter games but I have to be honest, if I was locked into a playstyle in cyberpunk at hour 50 and I knew I was only halfway through the ******* game and I was hating it, that'd be a problem. I'm saying this is a huge Mass Effect fan.

  @kalaelizabeth I think that's definitely true right after Dragon Age Origins. (And you can argue the same for Mass Effect to a certain extent even with 2 though that game was close to being as good as the first.) 2 was a noble but broken attempt thay some people a lot of love and worth in

  @Dark_Emerald077 @tunechistark st how badass Kat is. the game that influenced me the most, Mass Effect, is also filled with cool women, and I never badmouthed any of them. the problem is korra is written like crap. just like that new marine gal in the halo remaster. it was never about what's in their pants.

  @biggieU_U @Henry10113 I absolutely love mass effect, literally one of 3 tattoos I have is from ME, 1 is ******* rough to play, probably the best story but the game play was bad even when it came out, tried and dropped after the big Game Informer issue on it, only went back after playing and loving 2

  @GethLegionN7 @SteffanPatrik I have a hard time with that argument because, technically, whenever people ask fans what their problem with the quarians is, it’s usually just the decisions made by the Quarian Admirals. But Mass Effect 2 shows plenty of quarians who are peaceful and don’t want a war. Yet people still want to send the entire quarian to hell because of the actions of two or three admirals.

  @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.

  @stupidsoycat @GamesRadar that mass effect collection is forsure a S tier. the first one alone is S by itself, & don’t even get me started on NV 90% of the fans are larping that **** was broken as ****

  @Captain_Haruno @Spartan_Eden Exactly the issue. Again Mass Effect books weren't required reading. Halo was just money grubbing

  @TakoMowgli I'm using toybox for that problem... 👀 They should've used combined amount of conviction points for check instead of using amount of one conviction, like Mass Effect 3

  Exalted Speed (@Exalted_Speed) reported 34 minutes ago

  I think Mass Effect 3 has some good stuff, I like some of the the new characters, but I think it's kind of bloated in order to turn it into this BIG AAA game at the time and some of it's issues still sting. Besides the ending.

  @r3dan0n_ @ShitpostRock This is a hill I will die on. Mass Effect had a lot of janky stuff, but it was all in service of fun ideas. ME2 just cut all of that. Seamless exploration, MAKO, actual level progression, all gone. Some of it came back in ME3, but it was too late.

  The problem with halo after odst and legends, is that they took it into a direction that worked against it’s strength by making it more like mass effect(which already failed on it’s promise) and super lore reliant, when they already had a good setting as is, thus losing everyone.

• 
  The White Queen (@WhiteQueenNV) reported 36 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.

  Me picking vanguard cause pistol and punching things with magic glowing fist. I don’t know about other classes but it was broken as hell in mass effect 3 just carrying a pistol and a shot gun with weight stuff on it so I could spam powers 😭

  @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.

  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.

  @CDRJohnShepard Netcode is a lot more stable so the mod won't crash as much as reach did. Community made shaders allow for PBR support. Levels also don't have to be sealed in Halo 4 so I can port mass effect maps pretty fast (Did this one in a couple days).

  @EA @EAHelpOfficial_ I still have not received a response or resolution regarding either issue documented in this case. Mass Effect: Andromeda will not connect to EA’s online services on my account. This prevents me from accessing the game’s online and multiplayer functionality. I have already attempted the available troubleshooting steps, but the problem remains unresolved. Second, I purchased Mass Effect: Andromeda multiplayer DLC packs specifically for online multiplayer content that I cannot access because the game will not connect to EA’s services. I am therefore requesting a refund for those online DLC purchases. The purchased content is unusable through no fault of my own. This case has already been pending without an adequate response. Please escalate it to a support representative who can examine my EA account, game entitlements, and purchase history and provide an actual resolution. Thank you.

  @Cthulhu_OwO I should [play] the Mass Effect Trilogy. No, really, I bought the whole thing for 5 bucks on Steam and it's been sitting on my library ever since. Everyone says that it's kino, but I got so many games to play... Younger me would be ashamed that I somehow think it's a problem !

  Yeah Max is spot on here. The games I own physically are the games I love. Mass Effect, Cyberpunk, Ghost of Yotei, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Sparking Zero, Astro Bot, and more. Next game I wanna own physically (if the reviews are good) is Halo. And I want GTAVI physically 😭

  @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.

  Strokavich Okametal (ストロキャビッチ） (@Strokavich) reported 52 minutes ago

  @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.

  Remember that time when people got so outraged over the bugged facial animations in Mass Effect Andromeda that the publisher wrote the entire game off as a lost cause and pulled the plug on support before the devs could properly fix the issue? These aren't the result of a bug.

  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

  The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reported 59 minutes ago

  Interesting take by Serenity - I somewhat agree. We are still very far away from this, however. Let me explain. Autonomous vehicles are already showcasing that even though they do 95-99% of driving tasks just as well, if not better, than humans, there are still those 1% edge cases that make or break the value added by autonomy. That’s because the margin of error is literally 0%, which results in passengers being fine or being crushed/impaled by a software glitch or blind spot. Humanoids will be no different. General purpose robots will likely take mass effect by the end of this decade and handle 95-99% of general labour use cases (warehouse applications), but there will always be edge cases where the cost of using them makes no sense if they can’t perform certain tasks. Lately I’m starting to approach the thesis that an AI singularity is fast coming, but I disagree on the timelines. I do hope the guardrails are in place to prevent the seemingly inevitable collapse of society with robotics.

  @ChShersh Survivorship bias may be at work here, you probably don't play or think about the completely broken games. (Remember that one Mass Effect game?) Also, games are art and what is considered broken or not is fuzzy, often when there are bugs they become part of the game because they are fun.
