  I got into Mass Effect not too long ago and now I’m about to witness it crash and burn again

  @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.

  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.

  @DanticsOfficial Bioware already hit the ship of Theseus problem with dragon age inquisition, so we really shouldn't have been surprised mass effect andromeda came out barely even scraping the barrel. Don't expect anything from the next entry of the series because its just not going to be anywhere near what we are hoping for. Think dragon age veilguard, because thats what you are going to get.

  “Busy workin” is not an update. It’s what studios say when they need players to stay calm while they figure out whether the next thing is actually coherent. Mass Effect doesn’t have a lore problem. BioWare has a trust problem. Silence stops feeling strategic when the last few years went the way they did.

  @brockpierson Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim or Morrowind or Oblivion, Mass Effect Legendary, Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077. The issue with doing it 12 hours a day if an MMO would be downtime due to maintenance!

  @Red_Ayan @tekarino @QuiteShallow Trying to shift it to: "But mass effect too!!!!" doesn't make Taash any less poorly written at points. You bring up the companions in ME2, but ignore that those companions don't have the same writing problems that Taash had.

  @kalaelizabeth They are abandoning it, it’s not horrible, but it is a bad Mass Effect game. Weak writing and semi weak characters. Calling the fans the problem and the reason the game you starred in bombed is not how you endear them to future ventures.

  @cheersitskatie Oh look another stupidity oozing, men hating ***** wannabe fan not worthy of the inclusive Mass Effect fandom. Kindly piss off, you don't understand the games and themes of coming together and resolving issues with each other while facing existential threats like the Reapers.

  @__loam That sort of thing was built into Cyberpunk from the source material being well not modern day if you go by 2020 and Mass Effect is where they started doing it but in subtle ways... the issue more comes when it's badly forced like say Veilguard with Taash..

  @JDBrooks90 @APalma_concept I draw too, I think I showed you my drawings already. They aren't as cool as yours, but I don't quit, I still draw sometimes. I made a small project based on ARMA 3, a whole campaign with 5 hours of gameplay. I took several starting points: Half-Life, Mass Effect, and Strugatsky's "Roadside Picnic." Although all the code is on the BIS website, AI still helped me with the coding. I wrote the script before AI appeared and don't use it for original writing, only for error checks or facts. Everything made by AI can be thrown away later and finished by hand, but as a starting point like making a prototype or helping understand code, it's a very useful thing.

  @Benito_Llan @marewho12 Mass Effect used the excuse of losing contact with a privately funded expedition, although it came with its own problems (somehow unnoticed by FTL-capable humanity despite being around *Alpha Centauri*, and discovered by aliens despite, again, being around Alpha Centauri)

  @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.

  Amazon is ordering major script rewrites for the Mass Effect TV series. They want to modernize it. It’s the same old story where a studio takes a loved universe and starts hacking away at it because they think they know better than the source material. I want to enjoy a space opera without a lecture. Especially one where I’m not wondering if the writers even liked the original game or if they’re just trying to "fix" something that wasn't broken. Usually, when a show gets ordered to undergo massive rewrites to make it more accessible or modern, it just means they're stripping out the soul and the grit that made people care in the first place. Amazon has a habit of doing this to established franchises. We’re likely in for another project that values a message over the actual craftsmanship of the world. Expect the worst.

  @DynamoSuperX Hmm.. the only problem is, this is sounding like Mass Effect. It would need to be done right..

  @IGN Mass Effect: Andromeda could've been a good game if; 1. BioWare wasn't struggling with all their internal issues at the time. 2. EA gave them time to familiarize themselves with their forced upon engine of Frostbite. 3. EA allowed them time to cook on the writing instead of-

  @kalaelizabeth Also a big problem is people comparing it to a whole trilogy. If I compare it to just Mass Effect one, I like it more. I honestly didn’t become that attached to characters until ME2 besides Garrus

  Kevin (@themoralskeptic) reported 41 minutes ago

  The last thing we heard is this was to be set after the trilogy. My suspicion is it’s intended as a lead-in to the next game. The problem is executives who want to use a well-loved IP to make money, but don’t understand why it’s well-loved. This is literally the problem Amazon had with Wheel of Time. If they disregard the existing fandom to that extent with Mass Effect, the show will suffer the same fate, but worse: it’s likely to have a knock-on effect of dooming BioWare in the eyes of EA’s new owners. The next Mass Effect would have to be an Expedition 33-level runaway success to insulate the studio from this degree of fallout.

  @Dreamboum Unironically more people need to read Shamus Young's Mass Effect Retrospective to see the problems 2 caused to the overall plot. If you can make it out on the other side of that and still hold your love for the franchise and be able to acknowledge it's flaws, it's so liberating

  He's not targetting "mass effect fans" with his comment there. He's targetting the types of online creators that take one inch of a controversial topic and pick at it for months on end, applying criticisms (like "SJWs") that aren't even relevant to the core issues at hand.

  @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

  @glowieboiz Morrowind. Mass effect just set up heaps of cool ideas and asked some interesting questions and then either did nothing with them or had the gayest possible resolutions. Which seems to be a massive problem with all modern media. Morrowind had a tolkinesque lore when you look.

  Kala Elizabeth (@kalaelizabeth) reported 56 minutes ago

  The problem isn't that the games are similar btw. It's the "is this mass effect 5?" "Is that tali?" "Where's the dialogue wheel?" comments from people who can't separate the two. People want Mass Effect I get but don't hate the game when it isn't that. Just play Mass Effect 😭

  Neon Bird Games (@NeonBirdGames) reported 58 minutes ago

  Absolutely awful take The Mass Effect universe is so ripe for games and media without anything to do with Shepard and the Reapers and they could be massive hits Reducing Andromeda's issues to "well it didn't have Shepard" sure is something. Dumb, but something

  @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.

  See I don't even have an attachment to mass effect but this can't be right and is the problem why are we making adaptation of a video game but you want it to appeal to people who don't play games then WHY ADAPT A VIDEO GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE MAKE THE ADAPT. FOR THE FANS
