  @ShouVertica @MikeyNohMore All Starfield had to do was try not to be NMS. They should have kept it tight, 2-3 star systems at most. But the bigger issue is that many of us expected Bethesda's take on Mass Effect. Instead we got Fallout 4 in space because Emil Pagliarulo is a talentless hack.

  Am i overthinking it, or is it odd that Iran would cyberattack the state that is led by Tim Walz and not a hugely populated one for mass effect, and at the same time we were warned that AI had "broken free"? Prolly just overthinking.

  @AdeIica @Flanz111 @HardwareSteam Bioshock worked. Cyberpunk, Avatar, Mass Effect didn’t work. I didnt feel like testing more games. I’ll just wait until they update it and fix it.

  Halo Reach is the Mass Effect 2 the of Halo in that it's followed up immediately by a worse game but if you're smart you can see that it had all the same problems the whole time

  @Pirat_Nation As someone who has done this, I can tell you why. It's because the games turn to dog ****. Very few games that are single player complete products actually Have 200 hours worth of content. Run the study again, only this time only check reviews on single player games that are complete products, no longer receiving updates like BG3, Witcher 3, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, so on. And the handful that do like BG3, obviously most people overwhelmingly, positively review. The games that do typically get 200 hours or more are either some form of live service or survival game. Which at first is very fun and actually gets you hooked, but then as you play through hundreds of hours you either hit a completely dead end game, or grind or otherwise. Have multiple issues that you have now played the game long enough to start to realize or it's a live service that becomes complete **** long after launch implementing things that no one asked for, that no one wants at best. or at worst goes years without fixing or patching basic bugs, resulting in developers basically neglecting the game. Either way, it results in a negative review, at least for me, because I don't put up with that bullshit. At least not without calling it out.

  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 want to call them "woke" because thats not the right word and its become a sledgehammer like so many others. Mass Effect and Dragon Age always had societal themes and engaged with social issues ahead of their time (Dragon Age got gay marriage before the U.S.A)

  Exodus removing character customization feels like such an unnecessary rake to step on. Mass Effect has an iconic default protagonist look for Shepard, but still has options to customize and change his/her look to the player's liking. Such an unforced error

• 
  Julian II (@JulianHeliosII) reported 10 minutes ago

  @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

  @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

  @PandaSub2000 I think @BioWare REALLY needs to fix “Mass Effect Andromeda”’s failure to load save game files game breaking bug.

  @GameStalgiaX Playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition... mainly cause I do have to play through ME1. Don't get me wrong I love all 3, just ME1 isn't as refined as ME2 & ME3. Also will defend to my dying breath that the Mako isn't the problem, the terrain design is the problem.

  Michael Durfee (@MKDurfee) reported 22 minutes ago

  @Pirat_Nation Problem is “remaster” is a fancy term for ai-upscaled graphics and that’s it. Devs these days almost never put any effort into actually fixing stuff. Look at the mass effect legendary edition. So many opportunities to add stuff that would have made the games better, but nah..

  @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.

  @pinkkomimi My problem is more I try to play it like Mass Effect and then remember I can't use skills and I have no party members to cover me LOL. I'm getting better at it though thanks to the world quests.

  @sulmusa00 @Pirat_Nation Like we've seen this problem before with Mass Effect 1, assload of planets but when most of them are empty you just end up going to the storyline planets which just HAVE TO BE incredible and that really makes or breaks a game like that

  Just entering neurosurgery at a Calgary Foothills Hospital. 5 hour surgery to decompress a cystic lesion (arachnoid cyst) in my skull base that’s causing mass effect on my v3 motor nerve. For over a year it’s prevented me from eating solids, proper jaw movement & sensory issues. Praying this turns it all around. 🙏🏽

  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.

  @AMWorley_Writer @drowwpoison @kalaelizabeth It makes more sense when you look at Mass Effect 3's multiplayer as the reason why EA wanted to get so heavily into loot boxes and live service in the first place, it was wildly successful where Inquisition's multiplayer failed and they were chasing that high ever since

  BXG (@Lawgiver771) reported 35 minutes ago

  @aaronmail1994 Can you give an example? Most of the time it's bugs causing issues, but they end up getting fixed with an update. I’ve been on PC for 2 or 3 years now, and the only issue I’ve had was a bug in Mass Effect 1 that I found a workaround for. Most of the time I just install and play.

  My main issue with the Mass Effect universe is that it feels like they drastically underestimate what the populations of these worlds should be

  Kelsey (@pwu80d) reported 38 minutes ago

  @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

  Levi (@levas1786) reported 46 minutes ago

  @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.

  just doing things (@_abbie_watson_) reported 48 minutes ago

  @sasajuric By careful selection of dependencies that are battle tested and have well defined APIs that have already figured those things out. I build healthcare apps, so FHIR + Material UI + Meteor + D3 gave us a huge amount of API surface area for the LLMs to work with. Now then, there is a needed critical-mass effect for it to work. Things didn’t get really good until 250K lines of code; and we started with a tech stack that we had sorted out a lot of problems over the past decade. So, I wouldn’t say we *never* look at the code. Just that it’s possible to hit critical mass, where there’s enough source materials and enough rules, that the most modern models can start self-assembling code according to spec, and… it’s as good or better than anything I would write by hand.

  @MoralityCode @IGN Mass Effect 1 is an actual RPG with an actual plot. Mass Effect 2 is a third person shooter where the plot is to solve everyone's daddy issues

  @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.

  @AwokenAngelxoxo @lovesmagic4ever I hate getting staggerfucked. It was a huge issue I had with a specific faction in Mass Effect 3
