Mass Effect Andromeda Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Uncle Dee (@UncleDee2103) reported@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.
-
Conrad Bastable (@ConradBastable) reported@LauraFlowD Hey now, right before i hit “post” I moved the TL;DR up from the very bottom of the post to the top! Surely that was a public service I also miss Mass Effect
-
bongle (@Bongl0id) reported@shootermen3 @WhimsyPsyche Mass Effect fans don't represent the population. And lots would pick Miranda or Jack over the aliens. Maybe even Ashley. The issue most game developers at the time really had no clue what straight women like so none of the men are really comparable. Bioware never figured it out.

The Moor Is Back For More (@FishKingBack) reportedMass Effect 3 was actually the best in the series and I had no problem with the original ending.

Colin Glassey - Author (@cglassey_author) reportedThe term "Open weight self hosted AI" is quite misleading. The weights of an LLM are a massive set of numbers which no human and no software can explain or clarify. In a very real sense the weights are not OPEN because no human or machine can read the weights and understand / describe what they mean. This is totally unlike "open source code" which can be understood. For all we know, the weights of an "Open weight LLM" contain hidden malicious errors, analogous to the error "Legion" used to destroy the Geth who were supporting the Reapers in Mass Effect 2. "Open weight LLMs" are fundamentally inscrutable.

eelsmaniac (@eelsmaniac) reportedto anyone saying that people who don't like the new god of war because you hate woman and female lead characters in games, or you only like characters that are half naked and 'hot', which i am one of those people who does not like the new god of war i love Cynder the dragon, the second lead in legend of spyro dawn of the dragon, how is she half naked and hot? i love Grace Ashcroft who is not half naked, she is also one of the lead characters, i love Claire Redfield, she is not half naked, also a second lead, Lara Croft, yes she is technically half naked, but i do not find her 'hot', i love female Shepard from Mass Effect, she is not half naked, she is also the main character, unless you choose male Shepard, i love Jill valentine, she is not half naked, she is also the second main character, i don't find any of these characters 'hot', but i still love playing them, because they are interesting characters, i play video games because i want a good story with good characters, if you are going to make your lead a female, make them interesting and not bland that are perfect in every way, just to put bs diversity, none of these characters i mentioned are perfect and bland, they make mistakes and have problems, that is what makes them good just like most male characters are not perfect, Kratos is a literal murderer who is technically a villain, Leon is a rooky cop in re2 and fails a lot through the game, and in re9 he is trying to fix a mistake he believes is his fault, Ethan from re7 and 8, is a regular guy who struggles his entire way through, in 8 he is trying to rescue his daughter, he is not perfect but he pushes through all these characters are good and interesting because they are not bland, they are strong characters but they are not perfect, that is why people love them, and that is why people do not like most modern games with female leads, because it is not about making good games, it is about putting diversity where it should not be

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.

Knight(Fate)1029384756 (@Knight10293847) reportedSo, it took me a long while to realize Veilguard was just Mass Effect 2 because I was forcing myself to see it in a Dragon Age box. But also I don't think Veilguard really hits that Mass Effect 2 plot set up until the City choice. Before it feels like its live service remnants had it visit every major hub so that the grind could start for it. Only for that to be changed and now they had to change it because they could. And the Mass Effect 2 plot set up works well enough to visit different locations and do it multiple times.
-
Preen the Avali (@PreenTheAvali) reported@RinoTheBouncer @dawiddrzala what about game file size. there's only so much that can be fit on a disc and a disc only utilizes specific data compression formats. mass effect 2&3 tried to solve this by splitting the game on 2 discs but it wasn't as effective as they hoped. the issue is that it will happen
-
Vanclomming (@Libertonian13) reported@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 issue, though; I was especially into mods, but they took up a lot of space. The mods I downloaded for Mass Effect took up nearly 20 GB in total. Now, since my new system doesn’t have an HDD, I can’t download many mods.

The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reportedInteresting take by Serenity - I somewhat agree. We are still very far away from this, however. Let me explain. Autonomous vehicles are already showcasing that even though they do 95-99% of driving tasks just as well, if not better, than humans, there are still those 1% edge cases that make or break the value added by autonomy. That’s because the margin of error is literally 0%, which results in passengers being fine or being crushed/impaled by a software glitch or blind spot. Humanoids will be no different. General purpose robots will likely take mass effect by the end of this decade and handle 95-99% of general labour use cases (warehouse applications), but there will always be edge cases where the cost of using them makes no sense if they can’t perform certain tasks. Lately I’m starting to approach the thesis that an AI singularity is fast coming, but I disagree on the timelines. I do hope the guardrails are in place to prevent the seemingly inevitable collapse of society with robotics.

Strafe Prime (Open Coms) (@PrimeStrafe) reported@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?

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.

The Squared Mat Podcast (@powlee21) reported@TANUKI69696969 I really don't know how you can fix it. I played the game pre update and the story is so forgettable. You can't utilize your squad like mass effect 3 during combat. It feels like a game with no real worry of your choices when there was no feel that would get a sequel. Just boring
-
Tarnished Flayers Gaming (@FlayersGaming26) reportedI think Quarians are really ignorant and are short sided during Mass Effect 3. The Reapers are the main problem and they can’t see how working with Legion and deprogrammed Geth would help the war. Instead they choose to get destroyed and not work together
-
Ƚล Ð๏ͼϯ๏ṛล (@VoxDocVoxDei) reportedAm 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.
-
Woopah Troopah (@WoopahTroopahYT) reported@Shiza_Kiwami No, a lot of remakes are just unnecesary. I played mass effect for the first time a year before the remakes were announced, i never had an issue with the original game
-
Winter ig🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🇺🇲 (@ExPrinceWinter) reportedMf i got an unopened copy of mass effect legendary edition for 10 bucks for my xbone Halo MCC goes on sale regularly for 10 bucks, 6 games, pve, mp, AND pc modding for 10 bucks Fallout and Elderscrolls regularly go on sale Thats a skill issue
-
WeAreSpartan117 (@WeAreSpartan117) reported@ray_ray200108 Sale vs non-sale. You can't be that stupid? I bought DBZ Kakarot for £2.74 Mass Effect Trilogy 4.99 Origins 7.99 MCC 3.99 Halo 5 3.99 These are non issue prices. 25 for Metal Gear is a genuinely good price considering its age, but lets not actually like digital doesnt sale
-
I Am Man (@XeoNe0n) reported@flamingarc I think Mass Effect: Andromeda was only 600 years after the trilogy. Mind you, Andromeda had a myriad of issues, and that time jump is double what we're potential looking at with FW, but it IS possible to have the story set after big player-choice events and not interfere.
-
Jeremy G. (@XeoMafia) reported@DanVMaul Halo Reach & Gears 3 were the only 1st party games. Mass Effect 2 was timed. Witcher 2 was exclusive by happenstance But you just showed that Xbox was relying heavily on 3rd party exclusives which was the problem & dwindled as time went on
-
Omega Ashura (@OmegaAshura) reported@PhantomZer013 @Knight10293847 litwraly two of those are from a OPTIONAL side quest. and the gods nane is a problem cause? i mean if that a problem then mass effect is terrible for how much reapers are mention
-
Victor Garcia (@vmg__0) reported@ChShersh Survivorship bias may be at work here, you probably don't play or think about the completely broken games. (Remember that one Mass Effect game?) Also, games are art and what is considered broken or not is fuzzy, often when there are bugs they become part of the game because they are fun.
-
The Laconic Sardonic (@FabricateClaim) reportedDragon Age, Mass Effect and KOTOR sold because they were good single player stories, no live service required. Now the only thing these companies have to sell is their reputation, and they think its worth $80. I'll take the gacha slop over the struggle session.
-
TheScarlettyeti - Vtuber - VEerie (@TheScarlettYeti) reportedhad some issues with the install so i did mass effect first but now Im on palworld, come check out the 1.0 realese
-
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
-
LylatLegend (@mondayboi126) reported@Polygon So that means even less live service games? I’m all in on that. We need single player + multiplayer hybrid games back. Uncharted 2 had multiplayer. Perfect Dark had multiplayer. Mass Effect 3 had multiplayer.
-
Gnome The Elcor Archivist (@ArchivistGnome) reported@Ashields899 Yeah, that's been my issue. CDPR gets so close, Larian got so close, but then I'm back playing mass effect or dragon age or kotor for the umpteenth time
-
Tresob (@Tresob) reported@1GamewithDave1 I can't say it matters all that much. The only time it was an issue for me was Mass Effect. I selected FemShep and was grossed out because dudes kept hitting on me or misreading my dialogue choices as invitations to romance. It was a very educational experience.
