  @MassEffectHYPE From what I've learned the new mass effect is suppossed to take place after the events of ME3 problem is the game is taking to long and most of the hype it could have is dwindling fast , hell most think its a hoax and not really in development

  @art_rube The Mass Effect fandom has the exact same issue... Oblivious to the prolonged period of time that has occurred between the last release, and the last announcement for a new release. Like its been almost 5 to 6 years without a new game, and still they act like everything is fine.

  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.

  @MountKrushmore @DAKKADAKKA1 Yeah remember what the hell happened to mass effect Andromeda what it launch with technical issues and glitches and anthem was rushed to launch filled with crying Devlopers over the stress they put in over BioWare magic that doesn't exist

  @Pies_of_Lee Veilguard is just a continuation of the same writing issues that plagued mass effect Andromeda but the same reactionaries were too busy bitching about a trans character in that game too

  The problem I have with most animal x human races is also that they also seem incredibly lazy to me. I'd rather take the Hanar, Rachni or Elcor from Mass Effect over most of those. Also all Catfolk variants are just asking for it. I have permanently banned them from my table because of it.

  @SvensationalGuy That's what gives it some replayability but really the game needs more story choices that have impact, it's still very linear in pathing and commentary, while it gives the impression of playing a Mass Effect like game it doesn't have the choices in situations that change outcomes further in the game, it doesn't have equipment and weapon stats just some item slots and has very basic small maps with camera issues in certain areas of the map, While Ive enjoyed the story and customisation of characters I feel it lacks any real substance to class specialities and abilities, from a developer's standpoint the game isn't doing anything new in the genre, so it only gets 7.5 out of 10 for my final rating!

  @Beastiarii @Darket696 @K__Med This is a misconception sadly. Robbie Bach was in charge during Xbox's most successful era. He's the one who launched the Xbox 360, he's the one who helped organize many of the studios and the companies IPs. Such as Halo, Gears, Fable, Forza etc. He was the one who planted a flag for exclusivity for titles like Bioshock and Mass Effect 1. he was head of Xbox until 2010. 5 years after 360's launch. That means that many of his decisions and efforts ran through to 2012. He's also the reason you got the NXE, Blades, Xbox Live, and the many deals for things like Netflix. When Mattrick took over in 2010, Xbox 360 was already a success and leading PS3. He greenlit the Kinect. He was the one who didn't continue the acquisitions of exclusives and studios while sony was stacking release after release after release. During his time he lost momentum and the PS3 caught up and surpassed the Xbox 360 in sales. He looked at the usage data of Xbox 360 users and decided that since most Xbox users use the 360 to stream entertainment that taking kinect to the next level and integrating a dying technology like cable TV into the xbox was the way to go. That lead to him setting course of the hardware and OS team to change direction for the Xbox One. It was under his watch that a shfit to overly strict always on connections was decided for Xbox. Then in 2013 he revealed the hardware, told 80m xbox 360 gamers that they should stay on 360 if they didn't want an online connection. This resulted in the walking back of a heavily integrated drm system and publication process that wrecked the XBox XDK to the point that it actually got worse. Ruined Xbox's reputation. Destroyed their good will. Gave Sony the opportunity to pull out in front for the next generation. Did I mention these decisions also hurt the hardware architecture of the Xbox One because focus was put on non gaming features instead of game development? Well that happened. Xbox One VCR model was inferior to the PS4. At 100 dollars cheaper with a proper architecture suited for modern games that weren't madden. Sony trounced on them. That isn't even getting into the stupid name he green lit that gave gamers a way to taunt the brand, X-BONE. This lead to the quick dismissal of Don Mattrick from his position as he went to zynga. This lead to interim leadership with Julie Larson-Green for the following year until Phil could take the position in 2014. That means Mattricks plans were still in play, Julie was forced to hold an umbrella for someone else. Competent enough for the job imho, but never given the opportunity to prove herself to do so, since she was just there to keep the lights on. Then Phil came on board and had to right an already sinking ship that was being outsold 2.3 to 1. That gap would never close. Phil started out his first full year in 2015. They redesigned the One for the One S to put it on better or equal footing with the PS4. Got rid of the Kinect and made it possible for the VCR model to better compete. Gave us the One X and Backward Compatibility program (which was not cheap). Launched game Pass. by time he corrected these things his one weakness began to over take him. He doesn't know how to run studios. He's no Shuhei Yoshida (neither is anyone at sony these days mind you). By time all of this came together in 2017, the xbox was delivering compelling exclusive software. It was taking 3 years or more to get something out the door. Game Pass sabotaged any chance at a win they had. Just look at how poorly gears 4 and 5 did as a result, especially with that 1 month free. Discounts for the Halo MC steelbook and halo 5 steel book were dirt cheap within a matter of months. Day one game pass killed xbox and that was probably his first true bad move. Mattrick wouldn't have done a better job in this regard. I feel game pass was inevitable. Mostly because of Satya Nadella's position on software when he took over. Windows, Office, Cloud, anything microsoft was either cloud or subscription models. Do with that what you will, but this is why I start pointing to Satya as the actual problem here. Gears and Halo could have helped make Xbox healthy. Again assuming woke changes and other crazy nonsense wasn't at play. I have separate opinions for that and they are equally as negative. So where does that land us? two ceo's left with a dumpster fire because of two men. Don Mattrick and Satya Nadella.

  @kinetizen @palavenskies The only thing I hate about Mass Effect 2 is the complete lack of diplomacy and mercy. But I'm not going to blame Mass Effect 2 for the fact that BioWare idiotically decided to replace 99% of the writing crew for Mass Effect 3. I believe absolutely that most of these plot holes and other writing issues would have been mostly resolved if Mass Effect 3 kept the same writing team that created the first two games.

  @akidderz @Cromwelp This was the problem with Midnight Suns. Not that they talked too much, but that it was odd hybrid that didn't find its market. I liked the talk AND the combat. And Mass Effect had tons of talk and did well.

  @hg17_daisuki I used to run Veilguard on my old PC it had both an SSD and an HDD and games would lag because Windows was running slowly in the background. Veilguard wasn’t the only thing causing the lag, and I was especially into modding, but it took up a lot of space. The Mass Effect mods I downloaded took up nearly 20 GB in total. Now that my new system doesn’t have an HDD, I can’t download many mods. Those were the good old days I really loved modding back then.

  @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.

  @jdgaming2025 @bioware @masseffect I did hear they had creative issues, tons of money was spent, then the lead left, all the major heads of bioware jumped ship to make their own company and now as soon as 24-26 they had to hire some of the OG's back to rework ME5 so it doesn't destroy the franchise or the company.

  Exactly why there shouldn't have been any ceasfire The problem is masseffect We need to figure new bomb area yield. 1. You figure out how to do an real orbital drop system like COBRA's Zeus 2. You figure out how to do insanely large bombs that have actually closer/fractional to nuclear type power. This is actually an insane physics problem. Eventually AI robots entering into conflict zones will alleviate this problem. But for right now this, sucks. And by the way this was a huge issue in Afghanistan and why they were able to hang in there so long. I've said it before our munitions are too precise. This is what drags out wars. Something is missing from this fight.

  @rockisinfinite the problem is not that they arent mysterious anymore. its that the way the mystery was unveiled was poorly done and full of retcons this is the kind of thing that ruined the reapers in mass effect, and would ruin stuff like gman in half-life if valve were ever as dumb as 343

  This 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

  Doctor Med (@DoctorMed0) reported 43 minutes ago

  During renal transplantation, native nephrectomy (removal of the patient's original kidneys) is typically avoided to minimize surgical risk and retain any residual renal endocrine function or fluid management. However, removal is indicated when the native kidneys pose a direct medical or surgical threat to the patient. Severe, Recurrent, or Refractory Infections: Chronic pyelonephritis or infected cysts (common in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease - ADPKD) that risk systemic sepsis or graft infection while under post-transplant immunosuppression. Massive ***** Size (Mechanical/Surgical Space Issues): Severely enlarged polycystic kidneys (ADPKD) extending down into the iliac fossa that physically prevent surgical placement of the donor kidney or cause severe mass effect (early satiety, respiratory distress, intractable pain). Uncontrolled Severe Hypertension: Intractable hypertension driven by hyperreninemia from ischemic, end-stage native kidneys that fails to respond to maximal medical management. Suspected or Confirmed Malignancy: Presence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) or high-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma in the native kidney. Severe Protein Loss: Nephrotic syndrome with persistent, life-threatening severe proteinuria (e.g., focal segmental glomerulosclerosis) leading to refractory edema or thromboembolic risk. Significant Nephrolithiasis or Structural Abnormalities: Severe urolithiasis with high infection risk or conditions causing persistent severe vesicoureteral reflux / hydronephrosis with recurrent sepsis.

  @The_Lord_Otter This is the problem with many games today. The graphics are amazing, but it’s all the same vanilla. This is your basic third-person perspective GTA, RE, Assassin’s Creed, Mass Effect, yada yada regurgitation of something else. Does it look fun? Sure, but it’s the same flavor with a few new sprinkles.

  th funniest thing about EA is that they don't like money, apparently. for all their want and need of a live service game, they never considered that a mass effect live service based on me3's multiplayer would sell tons?
