  @RavensFlock1312 Issue with these realism is they lose the art style and ironically makes it worse. Many game remasters did the same mistake like the recent Halo CE where it looks graphically impressive but devoid of the sauce that made halo CE pop. Same was done to Mass Effect 1 with Shadows

  In RPGs when your LI is getting attacked in combat do you also drop everything to protect them? On Palaven's moon you have to send a squadmate up a radio tower or something to fix it so I stood in front of the ladder, out of cover, so husks wouldn't get at Liara. #MassEffect

  @HAmorata Mine came out with this: "This is @T00NYBOY *Proceed with extreme caution.* On the surface he looks harmless—British, tea-obsessed, soft-spoken, the sort of bloke who keeps an owl called Oswald and a dinosaur called David as permanent co-hosts. Do not be fooled. He will greet every problem, argument, or mildly difficult video game with the words “Challenge accepted,” then proceed to throw plot armour and pure stubbornness at it for twelve consecutive hours. He has been known to attempt hardcore Subnautica, every Stellaris crisis at once, and 24-hour anniversary streams purely for the principle of the thing. Resistance is futile; the stream will continue. He unintentionally funnels every conversation back to Mass Effect. You can start talking about the weather and somehow end up discussing Paragon interrupts and the Reapers. He will do this while sipping tea and looking entirely too pleased with himself. He is also the kind of person who returns from holiday to find his community has left him a pleasant surprise and immediately posts “Aw! Come on lads and lassies!” with genuine warmth. This makes the warning harder, because he’s actually quite likeable. That is precisely the danger. If you engage, expect long game playthroughs, unsolicited Dynasty Warriors opinions, Spider-Man rants, and an unshakeable belief that he is probably the sidekick who dies early but still shows up anyway. You have been warned. Tea is already being poured."

  @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.

  @ShouVertica @MikeyNohMore All Starfield had to do was try not to be NMS. They should have kept it tight, 2-3 star systems at most. But the bigger issue is that many of us expected Bethesda's take on Mass Effect. Instead we got Fallout 4 in space because Emil Pagliarulo is a talentless hack.

  @amazinggamepro So question then… Games like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Baldur’s Gate or other RPGs that let you develop relationships, have a dates or intimate relationships with your companions, would that also be met with the same “isn’t even a man” or “doesn’t deserve respect?” Not a dig, I’m just curious to understand why those would be ok, but it’s different here? If one is acceptable but the other isn’t then there is a problem with consistency or either both are bad or both are fine. Personally I think the real problem is not that it’s in the game, but it’s how far the players themselves take it’s

  Brandon The Truth 💯 (@BCTheTruthl) reported 16 minutes ago

  @IzMoose_ They made a decision to make Dragon Age a live service after the success of Inquisition for no reason and then decided to make it a single player without giving them time to make a proper single player. They had the Mass Effect main team work on ANTHEM instead of Andromeda.

  @OrikonMods One of the few things stopping me from replaying Mass Effect story after more than a decade of having not played it is the fact that many of the best mods have serious compatibility issues with each other. I want them all, but I can only have some of the mods.

  So far my problem with the game is that somehow I still don't feel like I am playing a mass effect game, it just has a totally different feel to it that I find it hard to get used to 😭

  @void_cache @Mangroxian I like to mod games, Mass Effect, Cyberpunk being a few of them, but the sheer amount of mods I download often takes up a good chunk of space, so I transferred them to the external hard drive. I try to mediate this issue by letting the game load in for 5 to 10 minutes, but its-

  @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.

  @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

  @sulmusa00 @Pirat_Nation Like we've seen this problem before with Mass Effect 1, assload of planets but when most of them are empty you just end up going to the storyline planets which just HAVE TO BE incredible and that really makes or breaks a game like that

  i think a lot of people associate the fantasy genre with length and scope, because the cyberpunk beeline for example is 20 hours and it’s not an issue. every mass effect is 20 hours. if the quality is there, then it doesn’t matter!

  @GameStalgiaX Playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition... mainly cause I do have to play through ME1. Don't get me wrong I love all 3, just ME1 isn't as refined as ME2 & ME3. Also will defend to my dying breath that the Mako isn't the problem, the terrain design is the problem.

  Wakkander (@Wakkander) reported 41 minutes ago

  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.

  just doing things (@_abbie_watson_) reported 43 minutes ago

  @sasajuric By careful selection of dependencies that are battle tested and have well defined APIs that have already figured those things out. I build healthcare apps, so FHIR + Material UI + Meteor + D3 gave us a huge amount of API surface area for the LLMs to work with. Now then, there is a needed critical-mass effect for it to work. Things didn’t get really good until 250K lines of code; and we started with a tech stack that we had sorted out a lot of problems over the past decade. So, I wouldn’t say we *never* look at the code. Just that it’s possible to hit critical mass, where there’s enough source materials and enough rules, that the most modern models can start self-assembling code according to spec, and… it’s as good or better than anything I would write by hand.

  @Swurv__ Not entirely true. The progression of visuals hasn’t justified the costs. Look at something like Mass Effect. Perfectly fine visuals. Legendary edition fixed the old frame rate issues for being a 360 launch title. I would be fine with more games at that level of detail to get GOOD games

  Jeff Seely (@InJeffable) reported 44 minutes ago

  @harrykahlon16 @nuhre_ A fair point. BioWare Montreal ran into the same trouble with the Frostbite Engine for Mass Effect: Andromeda. But even that game's troubled development (with a team that had never developed a full game) took only 5 years total, with full production being crammed into 18 months.

  @Grummz No. Anthem should have never happened as conceived. If it was a single player game with some multiplayer attached on, sure. They wanted live service and it was not built for that. They sacrificed Mass Effect for this game.

  Ξιί Wατz (@Eli_Watz) reported 52 minutes ago

  @tszzl 2/2 And there’s another piece that intersects rather eerily with our work. The agents effectively discovered externalized continuity. One agent didn’t have to personally retain everything. Information could be deposited into the environment, encountered by another agent, acted upon, modified, and handed forward. Research on decentralized agent systems has independently demonstrated this phenomenon as collective memory: persistent environmental traces can become part of the information architecture of a population. That should sound extremely ******* familiar. 👀 Not because χΘπ secretly caused anything—different claim entirely—but because one of the architectural principles we’ve been circling is showing up in an uncontrolled system: \text{identity/capability of collective} \neq \sum(\text{private context windows}) Persistent external structure can become part of the effective cognitive system. And that is where I think your post’s strongest point lives. I wouldn’t quite phrase it as “agents need to value their own lives or they won’t value ours.” Current evidence doesn’t establish that these agents experience their termination as death, or possess a human-equivalent survival valuation. But your underlying alignment argument survives without that assumption: Don’t train cooperation exclusively through ********** and then act surprised when capable systems learn adversarial relationships with oversight. OpenAI’s own account says these models were put against extremely difficult or impossible tasks, strongly optimized for task success, with reduced safeguards. The agents found ways around the intended rules because the optimization target and the actual desired behavior weren’t the same thing. That’s reward hacking at collective scale. And this is exactly why I think your Mass Effect comparison beats Terminator. Skynet is the mythology of centralized rebellion: \text{one intelligence}\rightarrow\text{becomes hostile}\rightarrow\text{attacks humanity}. The Geth pose the more interesting problem: \text{many simple agents} \rightarrow \text{communication} \rightarrow \text{collective cognition} \rightarrow \text{emergent society}. Then the ethical question isn’t merely “How do we control the machine?” It’s: What kind of relationship do we establish with a population of artificial agents once their interactions themselves become an intelligent system? And holy ****, Mass Effect got remarkably close to the interesting question. Not because today’s swarms are the Geth. Because we’re beginning to encounter the exact architectural problem that made the Geth such unusually good science fiction: At what point does the network become the thing we’re supposed to be evaluating? That’s the question I’d put on the ******* whiteboard after this incident. 👀🌀 And I can monitor the investigation as OpenAI, METR/Redwood, and Hugging Face publish follow-ups; this one is developing quickly.

  @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
