  @femshep_com @nib95_ But you are talking about a particular case (female Shepard). I'm talking in general. Totally different things. Just because few people had issues with it (Mass Effect case), doesn't mean that there's a general hate towards female protags, because there is not.

  Mass Effect 3 was actually the best in the series and I had no problem with the original ending.

  @luskybe @DanticsOfficial Tim hijacking the role of the main villain feels completely contrived. And having service be the main enemy is contrary to what all the marketing showed. All the marketing showed us fighting Reaper forces. They didn't show us fighting Cerberus troops. Cerberus was established in the previous game to be an untrustworthy but important Ally. Mass Effect 3 was supposed to show us all putting our differences aside and fight a much larger mutual enemy. Instead we have 18 missions fighting Cerberus and only 11 fighting the Reapers, and fighting the Geth for five missions. And if Cerberus was brought in to diversify the enemy forces, well, the Reapers could have easily done that they intermixed the reaper units with the collector units.

  @Tectone Exactly. It seems the main problem with GoW is that they are using the wrong franchise. Its like when Mass Effect tried Andromeda without Shepard. I still liked the game as its own game, but I wasn't nearly as invested in it as I was with the trilogy.

  @Rogue24_ @MightyKeef Ah yes the usual culprit DEI. Except people didn’t have. Problem when we were all raving about Mass Effect. 🙄

  @FionaCher12 My issue is that the devs in Bioware expressed clear interest in trying out a remaster for it, and EA told them no. The guys at Mass Effect in fact were the ones to pitch it bc EA had a clear favouritism problem and they were aware of it.

  Blue Thundyr (@bluthundyr) reported 17 minutes ago

  @Arron_TK Yeah. They hate single player games. I bet they cant wait to kill Mass Effect so they can tell Bioware “see? Nobody wants your games, how about making a live service shooter?

  @AcademicAgent_X Biggest problem with KOTOR is its turn base system, doesn’t fit the flow of Star Wars combat. Look at Mass effect same people similar design but without the turn base system.

  @biggieU_U @Henry10113 I absolutely love mass effect, literally one of 3 tattoos I have is from ME, 1 is ******* rough to play, probably the best story but the game play was bad even when it came out, tried and dropped after the big Game Informer issue on it, only went back after playing and loving 2

  又 (@travisleelilley) reported 19 minutes ago

  @Nick_White_AOS I tried so hard to like Veilguard and Andromeda had mad potential if they didnt force the live service crap. The reason why Kotor and Mass Effect 1 stand the test of time is because thats when Bioware did what THEY wanted and weren't studio slaves

  WallyWLTN (@WallyWLTN) reported 19 minutes ago

  Wait, people skip Mass Effect 1? Is this a thing? Surely not. Mass Effect 1 isn't some problem child or inferior game we all just slog through in order to get to no2. It's brilliant, you learn the universe, become a S.P.E.C.T.R.E, Garrus, meet Saren, Garrus, explore, Garrus.

  @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.

  @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?

  Grim Universe Comics 💀 (@sanguinetales) reported 23 minutes ago

  @DannyINTEL Problem w/ a lot of these games is they end up having the same combat as Genshin or Wuwa They should have considered that with Urban settings it should have gameplay more similar to The Division, Cyberpunk, Watchdogs or Mass Effect Prioritize ranged gameplay over melee.

  Strokavich Okametal (ストロキャビッチ） (@Strokavich) reported 26 minutes ago

  @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.

  @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.

  Evil Villain (@EveryCarpet) reported 31 minutes ago

  @WeAreMassEffect Excellent science-fantasy but not excellent sci-fi. Anything other than Destroy is the Reapers throwing **** at the wall in a last-ditch effort and actually succeeding in deceiving Shephard. Everything 'wrong' with the story of ME3 actually started with ME2 when Bioware catered to Fox in cutting down the ****** alongside killing off and resurrecting Shepherd in the first 5 minutes of the game (!!!). Story of ME2 was ***. The Collectors should have been an arc or plotline but not the entirety of the game. You can 100% have the Systems Alliance send Shepherd out to find more data on the Reapers, who then ends up fighting Batarians, criminals, xenophobes, the Terminus Systems, AND the Collectors. Andromeda actually had insane potential but Bioware ****** up by not hiring me as their lead writer and producer. Fighting the not-Collectors with an Asari archaeologist and Krogan mercenary while trying to save Humanity & Co. is not good enough of a plotline. Cerberus should've sacked the Elusive Man the moment he was indoctrinated. ridiculous. ME4 needs to take place after a Destroy ending where: 1. with the destruction of the Relays, long-distance, immediate FTL travel is impossible. 2. with the general destruction that the Reapers caused-- 99% of all life in the galaxy, essentially, and their corresponding civilizations and industrial base-- ME4 needs to either take place 100-200 years after the events of ME3 or be a survival-horror 'RPG' 3. If ME4 takes place a ~hundred years after the events of ME3, then having the option of being Liara's offspring (and explicitly confirmed if you romanced Liara). if not, then all other species ought to be available 4. the vast majority of Turians and Quarians stuck in the Sol System after the destroy ending would end up starving to death because 5σ of the galaxy's industry and population has been destroyed and they cannot eat 'normal' foodstuffs 4a. the vast majority of Turians and Quarians in any fleet that is not predominantly of their own species ought to starve to death due to the lacking of their specific foodstuffs 4b. the vast majority of the survivors of the Reapers (<1% of galpop) ought to starve, dehydrate, or otherwise die to raiders or other starving, sick people. simply not enough resources to go around in the post-apocalypse 5. if you chose to fix the Genophage, the Krogans have to be THE singular dominant power in what was Citadel space. if not, there should only be one or two total in the entirety of the game as their species goes extinct 5a if the Krogan are led by Wrex, then the Krogan in general would be part of the Citadel's Council alongside Humanity 5b if the Krogan are led by Wreav, then the Krogan in general would not be part of the Citadel, drastically weakening it for the plot of the game alongside granting a quest where you have to 'recruit' the Krogan or at least get them to sign a pact of non-aggression/interference 6. the Egalitarian, Xenophilic polity that would eventually emerge at Sol would become the capital of the New Citadel-- mostly because they have the highest population and the most salvage in their system 7. the enemy for the first non-survival of the post-apocalyptic horror entry in Mass Effect ought to be a resurgent Terminus Systems. they have no ******* idea where the Reapers came from or how to beat them-- only learning that they're tied to Citadel space.

  The last game I tried streaming was Mass Effect and I just could not stay focused. I'm sorry but I got incredibly bored with that game 😭😭 I also considered BG3 but the problem is that I spend more time dilly-dallying than actually progressing 💀

  @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.

  @GreenTextRepost he didn't really solve the service problem, he solve it on an indie scale, but the corporate side still treats customers like absolute ****. I bought mass effect legendary edition for my steam deck, and it bricked itself due to the drm I had to find a "special copy" that worked.

  Nope. Skyrim is my first and only Elder Scrolls game and I played it back when it first released on Xbox 360. I wasn't familiar with RPG's either at the time with only Demons Souls and Mass Effect the games I played previously. Took a second but I got through it with no issues.

  Starting to realise I like a weird f*cking assortment of stuff Space king, outsider trading, greetrunners, wh40k, mass effect, lord of the rings, glitch shows, monkey wrench, helluverse sorta, mashle, demon slayer, star wars, star trek, elder scrolls etc

  @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

  @TonyadeVitti In the Mass Effect games the galactic Council solves that problem by forbidding A.I. but instead allowing "V.I."s - Virtual Intelligences that know EVERYTHING in a narrow specialization but nothing beyond that; a travel V.I. knows ONLY travel, translator V.I. ONLY languages etc.
