  Mass Effect 3 was actually the best in the series and I had no problem with the original ending.

  @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.

  @WeAreMassEffect Excellent science-fantasy but not excellent sci-fi. Anything other than Destroy is the Reapers throwing **** at the wall in a last-ditch effort and actually succeeding in deceiving Shephard. Everything 'wrong' with the story of ME3 actually started with ME2 when Bioware catered to Fox in cutting down the ****** alongside killing off and resurrecting Shepherd in the first 5 minutes of the game (!!!). Story of ME2 was ***. The Collectors should have been an arc or plotline but not the entirety of the game. You can 100% have the Systems Alliance send Shepherd out to find more data on the Reapers, who then ends up fighting Batarians, criminals, xenophobes, the Terminus Systems, AND the Collectors. Andromeda actually had insane potential but Bioware ****** up by not hiring me as their lead writer and producer. Fighting the not-Collectors with an Asari archaeologist and Krogan mercenary while trying to save Humanity & Co. is not good enough of a plotline. Cerberus should've sacked the Elusive Man the moment he was indoctrinated. ridiculous. ME4 needs to take place after a Destroy ending where: 1. with the destruction of the Relays, long-distance, immediate FTL travel is impossible. 2. with the general destruction that the Reapers caused-- 99% of all life in the galaxy, essentially, and their corresponding civilizations and industrial base-- ME4 needs to either take place 100-200 years after the events of ME3 or be a survival-horror 'RPG' 3. If ME4 takes place a ~hundred years after the events of ME3, then having the option of being Liara's offspring (and explicitly confirmed if you romanced Liara). if not, then all other species ought to be available 4. the vast majority of Turians and Quarians stuck in the Sol System after the destroy ending would end up starving to death because 5σ of the galaxy's industry and population has been destroyed and they cannot eat 'normal' foodstuffs 4a. the vast majority of Turians and Quarians in any fleet that is not predominantly of their own species ought to starve to death due to the lacking of their specific foodstuffs 4b. the vast majority of the survivors of the Reapers (<1% of galpop) ought to starve, dehydrate, or otherwise die to raiders or other starving, sick people. simply not enough resources to go around in the post-apocalypse 5. if you chose to fix the Genophage, the Krogans have to be THE singular dominant power in what was Citadel space. if not, there should only be one or two total in the entirety of the game as their species goes extinct 5a if the Krogan are led by Wrex, then the Krogan in general would be part of the Citadel's Council alongside Humanity 5b if the Krogan are led by Wreav, then the Krogan in general would not be part of the Citadel, drastically weakening it for the plot of the game alongside granting a quest where you have to 'recruit' the Krogan or at least get them to sign a pact of non-aggression/interference 6. the Egalitarian, Xenophilic polity that would eventually emerge at Sol would become the capital of the New Citadel-- mostly because they have the highest population and the most salvage in their system 7. the enemy for the first non-survival of the post-apocalyptic horror entry in Mass Effect ought to be a resurgent Terminus Systems. they have no ******* idea where the Reapers came from or how to beat them-- only learning that they're tied to Citadel space.

  @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.

  @wulfeart @art_rube So... they are doing this to approach a new audience, and some of the core Halo fans like this armors and weapon designs, and other single player games like Doom Eternal, Mass Effect or even Lego Batman did the same and are very good games so... whats the issue?

  @PapitoQinn It could have been more and it could have been better unfortunately, they tried to imitate Mass Effect with the voice protagonist and narrower dialogue choices but the execution had a lot of problems.

  @MaroonKennedy Everyone wanted a space RPG. They just didn’t do a great job at making one. This probably wouldn’t be a problem that they made a new IP first if it was more like Mass Effect

  Uncle Dee (@UncleDee2103) reported 15 minutes ago

  @splitcann @GamewithDave That may actually be my problem. I never played the first one, so I never got connected to the overall story and the characters the same way I did with, say Mass Effect or Dragon Age.

  @Faubaulaus Mass effect 1 is unfortunately the best in the series, not even close. And Mass effect 1 has a lot of problems

  @nuhre_ From what I saw the problem is they have Mass Effect Andromeda level writing, with characters that won't STFU in combat always having a quirky statement.

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

  @BethesdaSupport @Fallout @BethesdaStudios Maybe fix Starfield on PS5 while you're at it. What a broken mess. Crashes more any game I've ever played. Mass Effect Andromeda has nothing on this game.

  ETCviperidae (@ETCviperidae) reported 24 minutes ago

  @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.

  GratedSasuge (@kernelpie) reported 29 minutes ago

  @nygma0451 In some story and character aspects, sure. But overall, it is a better game. Dragon Age suffers from the same issues that mass effect did. In that ea had bioware make a game more focused on companions and their stories. And as da series went on, that became the bigger focus.

  @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.

  @MeatBunFTW @RinoTheBouncer Outer Worlds was a fun, more dialog heavy Mass Effect. The problem is that the dialog was very HEAVY.

  RÈBELs RÄÎDÈRs (@Rebels_Raiders) reported 31 minutes ago

  I’m gonna ruin the fun with facts again. This isn’t new. It’s already been used successfully in multiple countries. Programs like Google’s Verily project release male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria. Think of it like the Genophage from Mass Effect. The males don’t bite, don’t spread disease, and basically spend their entire lives trying to get laid (literally me). When they mate with wild females (unlike you), the eggs fail to hatch. Fewer mosquitoes get born, mosquito populations crash, and disease transmission drops with them. Field trials have repeatedly shown 70 to 90%+ reductions in local mosquito populations, along with major decreases in diseases like dengue. It’s a targeted biological control method that’s already been deployed at scale with pretty impressive results. If you’re asking why a gear account is telling you this? Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong

  @Grummz All this work they are putting into a game that will sell 70% less than it would have if the protagonist was a custom character like Mass Effect had. Easy fix. Naughty Dog let US decide what our main character should look like. Cause what you made is going to kill your sales.

  @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

  @MagicMushMM I had no problem with foot missions at all and were welcome additions. I truly love 64, but another remake? Personally, a complete reboot of it that implements stuff from like Mass Effect including recruitment of all or some pilots and loyalty missions of sorts would be awesome.

  @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

  John Burnett (@TheSPCommandant) reported 45 minutes ago

  @Polygon It's completely disingenuous to paint critics as bigoted right-wingers. people upset have no problem with female protagonists. This claim is demonstrably false. look at Horizon and Tomb Raider. people are just sick and tired of the cultural/social engineering. studios ruin everything. Mass Effect with Andromeda, They ruined the Star wars franchise, Amazon ruined The Lord of the Rings. The Odyssey is making the Greek characters black. No one wants to be preached at (like you did in this article). if you create a compelling world with a female protagonist no one's going to care and everyone will enjoy playing it. just leave the things we love alone.

  @manuni340839 @_D4rk50ul_ @GeeksGamersCom Voltron was MADE for the streaming service. Highlander will do fine, its not got too much to live up to. Star Wars is DEAD.. enter Warhammer. Cavill was interviewed for Bond before and hes read the script (on his IG) for Mass Effect (at Amazon WITH Warhammer) So, sit down..

  @OurslsTheFury2 @Arron_TK I think they course corrected a little too harshly after the issues ppl had with mass effect 1 and the series never really recovered from it

  Julian II (@JulianHeliosII) reported 57 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

  @Sebbywebz My big issue with the ending is the hard cut from everyone running out of the northern crater to the indeterminate time later scene. It very much came off like if mass effect 2 suddenly spliced in the stills from the extended cut of me3 when Shepard jumps to the Normandy.
