Strokavich Okametal (ストロキャビッチ） (@Strokavich) reported@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.

BXG (@Lawgiver771) reported@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.

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.

HurtboxTV | MS-623 EWGF Custom Type (@HurtboxTV) reportedThe biggest issue is that the average consumer got into the MCU and it made a gorillion dollars so other companies focus tested the **** out of what the normies actually liked. They then took that information and figured "if we apply this to literally everything we will make tens of gorillions!" Not realizing that not only would this invite the wrong crowd in, it would push out the ones already there who were buying their products. There's a reason modern AAA gaming sucks and it's because normie level MCU enjoyers figured if they liked slop and ironic quickly dialogue with sassy characters that everyone else would. They then proceeded to nuke every franchise they've been a part of with one dimensional characters and sassy girlbosses in a "subversion of the genre/media you're used to" type writing. It's funny when you think about it that there are very few IPs that never fell into this trap and they're doing just fine if not better. Franchises like Gears, Halo, Mass Effect, etc all used to take themselves seriously to some degree. They had writers who cared about telling a story and making a game that was fun to back it up. Now it's live service, accessibility, representation,and a whole host of other dog **** design decisions that took these games from console sellers to the bargain bin on the verge of collapse. The video game industry needs to pop again. Cause right now all my favorite franchises ******* suck and I only enjoy playing either indie games or gacha games like Nikke and GFL2 atm.

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
-
GreatSnekYig (@Snecko_Yig) reported@RudeJackalope For me, personally is Mass effect 1. I could never finish it. I dont think its terrible, i just struggled with the controls and they felt clunky as all hell for me which is a skill issue on my end but i never got far into it before dropping it all together
-
Trey👑 (@ThatGuyNamedTre) reportedYeah Max is spot on here. The games I own physically are the games I love. Mass Effect, Cyberpunk, Ghost of Yotei, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Sparking Zero, Astro Bot, and more. Next game I wanna own physically (if the reviews are good) is Halo. And I want GTAVI physically 😭
-
Jeff Seely (@InJeffable) reported@RinoTheBouncer I agree that this would've made a great Mass Effect spinoff. What if this was the planet the Normandy crash-landed on at the end of Mass Effect 3? With all of the mass relays destroyed, the Normandy crew presumably would've had to make the best of their situation on that planet.
-
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
-
BarkBarkWoof (@EruseaRise) reported@cerealsthatkill @DanFriedman81 Woke is why you got to that point. If someone said that they wanted to show you a sleazy underworld bar on the edge of the galaxy, what would you expect to see there? Mass Effect 2 had alien space strippers. So who on Starfield decided that the sleezy space bar would have flabby male dancers in gross spandex onesies with florp hats? Who made this call and how did they get hired? 1. Are you really telling me that’s the best they could do? 2. Why hire someone like that in the first place? 3. Why did no one stop them from making something so lame? This demonstrates that the hiring process was corrupted, and that there was no longer a functioning management system capable or willing to make important creative decisions. Because we see a huge problem in that people were making decisions they shouldn’t have made, and there was no one stopping them from doing it! You cannot simply chalk these things up to some failure of management because these were studios that used to know how to deliver record shattering games.

The Nidface (@TheNidface) reported@ElaraVtuber Mass Effect Andromeda. I unironically enjoyed the game despite its many issues.
-
Varayen Trinity (@PenPwyll) reported@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)
-
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
-
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.
-
Big Dan (@bigdanhere) reportedExodus 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
-
thed.vawaifu (@KevinGame2013) reported@theonewhoistobe @mrpyo1 No it did not I would have games released in a finished state rather than games launch in a buggy broken and unfinished state like battlefield 2042,the Lord of the rings golem, redfall Mindseye anthem, mass effect andromeda, concord, ssktjl marvel avengers fallout 76, and any games that launch with technical issues. And I agree with yongyea here
-
Clayton Winstead (@ClayWinstead) reported@JacobClary25 Just wait until they turn mass effect 5 into live service
-
Nunyaspoonvt (@Nunyaspoonvt) reportedMass effect 1-3 3 had only the ending and lil retcons of Mass effect 2 with dark matter usage Being a problem Mass effect Andromeda HAD GREAT GAMEPLAY....aight characters jaal is the best The story ....mid like 5/10 Sad they never updated it and Cancelled the quarian dlc
-
BXG (@Lawgiver771) reported@GreasyPixel I've been on PC now for two years or so, and I've had far less issues than I ever did on console. Granted, I don't play games day one. Hell, I'm just now playing Mass effect legendary edition.
-
TheRICKY (@moviebuffff85) reported@beautyskillz Remake Mass Effect 3 and fix that ending.
-
Juriyafx | Kael (@juriyafx) reported@DanticsOfficial The Mass Effect trilogy remains one of the most interesting and memorable sagas available. ME3's issues are varied and only catch up with you in the finale. Boring, anticlimactic, disconnected from your choices—and those RGB endings combined with those explanations turn a writing mistake into an insult to the player. Plus, the revised ending added via patch made a bad ending even worse. And the answer to your question is: NO! Just because worse things have come out in the following years doesn't make what EA/BioWare did any less severe.
-
Jesse (@SweetLMG) reported@IGN Notice how these articles always start with “former”. Anyway Mass Effect 5 has a long shot as it is. Announced this game 5 years ago, and still have nothing to show for it. New owners are hardly the problem here.
-
William Wallace (Hunting for a 4 leaf clover) (@Wanzerfan) reported@PandaSub2000 I think @BioWare REALLY needs to fix “Mass Effect Andromeda”’s failure to load save game files game breaking bug.
-
Hank Rearden (@HankRearden_37) reported@Pirat_Nation Once again modders will fix what the devs try to wreck with these games. Just like when the modders brought back the Miranda buttshot in Mass effect legendary edition. Although that game was far less ****** with than Halo appears to be.
-
anonskrub^2 🇵🇸🇺🇦🗿👧 (@anonskrub) reported@KenteMana @SwervoT3k @bioware the problem with DAO getting a remaster/remake IIRC is that there is almost nobody left at BioWare who knows how the game engine runs, so a remaster is almost impossible, and a remake is unlikely until at least Mass Effect 5 gets out the door just b/c of resource priority
-
Vol fan 83 (@TheVolguy83) reported@MisterCiv Issue is it gives permission for them to do it in every game now. Star wars survivor series, won’t be able to use the force u less you buy an upgrade? Mass effect, only get some guns but good ones are all pay to play? That goes for any and every title they and their peers make.
-
JestersWar (@JestersWar) reported@ShitpostRock Probably Mass Effect 2- almost everyone I know prefers it, and there's no question that ME1 had issues with the Mako, and was largely a worse game But I preferred the RPG shooting, including the heat/miss rate over the 'better' cover shooter mechanics of ME2. And ME1's story
-
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.

FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported600 employees is usually where RPG studios start translating “we know our audience” into “we need a wider one.” So Owlcat saying it won’t turn its back on hardcore CRPGs is good. It’s also a promise that gets harder to keep the more expensive your org chart gets. The risk isn’t that The Expanse: Osiris Reborn looks more like Mass Effect. That part is fine. Studios should try new shapes. The risk is the familiar disease of scale: every sharp edge gets treated like a market problem. Complex systems get simplified. Failure gets softened. Friction gets removed until all that’s left is “accessible,” which is industry code for less specific. Owlcat has earned more trust than most here. Pathfinder and Rogue Trader did not feel focus-tested into paste. That’s exactly why the pressure is real. Growing while keeping taste is harder than growing. Anybody can make the target bigger. Very few studios get bigger without sanding off the part worth showing up for.

Levi (@levas1786) reported@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.
