Mass Effect Andromeda Issues Reports

CaptainRenault (@renault_captain) reported@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
-
Andrew Gross (@GrossRugger) reported@MichaelFKane The entire problem with mass effect is that the renegade path is objectively the correct and good way to play, until ME3, where it becomes a cartoon evil guy.
-
Jeff Seely (@InJeffable) reported@PeterP_1985 @jasonschreier I've been seeing poor decisions like this in the industry ever since BioWare attempted live service slop with Anthem. They should've given Anthem to their Montreal studio while the main studio in Edmonton worked on Mass Effect: Andromeda, but they did the reverse and paid for it.
-
Exalted Speed (@Exalted_Speed) reportedI 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.
-
J.C. Chambers III (@JCChambersIII) reported@MichaelFKane @EidolonOracle I think the Star Child is less the problem than the color-coded ending options, even if people incorrectly associate the somewhat lacklustre ending with the Star Child. (Frankly, without the free update that they released, the ending to Mass Effect 3 sucked ***, but even with it, it wasn't amazing). But you're right. Hell, in Mass Effect's case, they were teasing the metaphysical twist from day 1. ME is an apocalyptic Biblical epic, after all. It would've made way less sense to NOT include the Star Child (or something similar). They just fumbled the implementation, likely due to budget/timing constraints.

Gyt Kaliba (@GytKaliba) reportedDoing a bit in the first Mass Effect that I somehow NEVER did last time (the Bring Down the Sky stuff). Can't for the life of me figure out why, I enjoyed these enough that I played all three games back to back, so wanting to be done wasn't an issue.

Knight(Fate)1029384756 (@Knight10293847) reportedSo, 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.

Knight(Fate)1029384756 (@Knight10293847) reported@CorbynRed So, I take a number of issue here. For one, this probably isn't a person who is high up in the organization and is just someone on the ground or a manager. I can't think of why a PIF head would comment on Mark Darrah's videos. For two, he is really glazing EA for being well managed when this management has lead to BioWare being reduced severely and other studios as well. For three, the fact that he said that after Mass Effect that BioWare will be deployed as creative support is worrying. Like okay. I guess they won't be fired but that is not really good for the creatives of BioWare to just be support. Though I find it odd he calls Andromeda "a touch too creative for a lot of fans," I wonder if he means that positively or negatively. And finally this guy could literally just be lying and making this up. Even if he wasn't I find it hard to believe that a PIF person in a high position would be commenting on a Mark Darrah video. Or any video for that matter.

Cool Dr. Money (@QTeezyFaSheezy) reportedThis is why live service games miss what iterative sequels used to do. The first game would always show the vision & promise. And the 2nd or 3rd game would be that REALIZED. Halo 2 Mass Effect 2 Red Dead 2 Uncharted 2 Witcher 3 Batman Arkham City Vice City/San Andreas etc
-
SilentNight (@SilentNights0) reportedKinda wanna c*mm some art of Shirou and Saber in Mass Effect 3. I already had one done for ME1 and ME2, the problem is theres too many potential ideas
-
Julian II (@JulianHeliosII) reported@Knights_Path Thinking some more, when the player asks a question you have a problem to solve: The player idle while asking a question looks blank Mass Effect solved it through a close up shot here and there, obscuring the body so you can't see Shepherd's hands Baldur's Gate had transition anims between lines from pose w/ anim to pose w/ anim, which kept the silent protagonist of the dialogue engaging You should choose one of these, or a mix of both, to keep the character from feeling plastic. The speaker need not have this because they are generally receiving queries and questions from the speaker, but stance changes are crucial for the target speaker
-
Richard Valdez (@RealRichardVald) reported@DanticsOfficial The only issue with using Mass Effect 1 if it doesn't really affect much besides one special mission in the first game in a few passing references in the sequels. I think Dragon Age would have been a better example
-
Omega Ashura (@OmegaAshura) reported@Knight10293847 yhea in general that the actual problem of veliguard it a mmo disguised as a single player and they couldn’t really change that felling to make it more like a dragon age or mass effect
-
VengeanceOfSet (@VengeanceOfSet) reported@Pirat_Nation If they can so easily identify problems then apparently the dev ain't so grand either. No one attached to any level of decision making in the era of Mass Effect Andromeda / Anthem should ever be allowed to criticize game players. 2 platinum level franchise opportunities completely fumbled.
-
Anime Austria (@AustriaAnime) reported@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
-
Plat0x.eth (Σ🧠Ξ) (@at0x_eth) reported@kennyistyping idk there's like a mass effect issue also lens had somewhat the right idea of being just a backend but when you are so open ended curation gets hard and even moreso when you have adversarial usage. i think it takes something really paradigmic to get you off of that.
-
Trutown (@Trutown) reported@AndorianRespect You mean, after the end of Mass Effect 1? The problems with ME3 are a direct result of ME2.
-
неопізнаний йернящий мужик (@litauchij) reported@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.
-
soph 🐛 (@zaeedmassanis) reportedi was super exited to have a chance to meet mass effect cast but now all i wish for this con is to fail tbh, creating an extremely unsafe and uncomfortable space for fans and pretending the problem doesn't exist is so ******* disgusting
-
𝓑𝓵𝓾𝓮-𝓔𝔂𝓮𝓼 𝓦𝓱𝓲𝓽𝓮 𝓓𝓲𝓬𝓴𝓰𝓲𝓻𝓵 (@CH4R10T_TV) reportedmy real problem isn't writing at all, actually, it's the combat. the action style requires more commitment to enemy movesets, which the game does not deliver on. the companion skills are gutted. the loop is very repetitive on further playthroughs. they made mass effect 2 two.
-
achilles “yoshiki irl” lamb (@yoshikipd) reportedtrue and the only game ive seen address this problem correctly is mass effect bc being called shepard doesnt break the immersion since it Is technically your name but being called leader in p3r all the time really ******* sucks
-
Daniel M (@Daniel86Cycles) reported@ApplefatGov @csaurageul Borrowing the color palette of Gears of War, or cover based shooting mechanics into genres it didn't belong like Mass Effect or even Uncharted (or a dozen other games) caused problems for a long time. But that doesn't say anything about the games where they worked.
-
Marxon (@Marxon1134x) reported@Captain_Haruno @Spartan_Eden Exactly the issue. Again Mass Effect books weren't required reading. Halo was just money grubbing
-
bongle (@Bongl0id) reported@wesleytypes @DawnwalkerGame @RebelWolvesDevs Do you even comprehend how annoying it is to write a whole trilogy like this, or the numerous problems it caused mass effect? You know why they introduced a new solider in 3? Because all the previous ones could be dead. The dumbest people ruin those games.
-
TheScarlettyeti - Vtuber - VEerie (@TheScarlettYeti) reportedhad some issues with the install so i did mass effect first but now Im on palworld, come check out the 1.0 realese
-
Owen Lars 2 (@Owen_Lars_2) reported@d_linkski got another similar laptop a few years later, tried again, same issue. every personal computer i've owned has been similar- strong but not specifically made for gaming, with integrated cards that games hate. my 1st game on steam was mass effect and i have 1 hour played over 8 pc
-
Rizzlexo (@rizzle_xo) reportedCan anybody actually drive the Mako in Mass Effect perfectly with no issues? Is that a real thing?
-
Teen Milf (@Joak_S) reported@NilesSankey @Brehbander @WanderLustAK907 3 has the same problem as a lot of "finales" I so think it couldn't have been much better. It's very hard to finish a story, Mass Effect 3 is the perfect example.
-
┌П┐⚀▄⚀┌П┐ ARCH ┌П┐⚀▄⚀┌П┐ (@_ARCHANGEL978_) reported@Geo_AW @masseffect 2 Boss in the Collector Base. problem is this generation of purple haired freaks can't create a unique boss fight. Atleast the freaks from 15-30 year ago could make good games. Now it is "see what others did and steal their creative IP
-
Denise Roginsky (@Denise_TEW2013) reported@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.
