  @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

  to 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

  @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

  @YoureIdeaIsBad i 100% agree, i still don’t understand why mass effect was allergic to the use of body cams😭 a lot of the problems in the trilogy could have been solved w a simple camera, esp moments like the talk with sovereign in virmire

  @WeAreMassEffect Mass Effect Andromeda is way over hated. It’s a good games that was designed with sequels in mind. EA is and will always be the problem when it comes to BioWare games. BioWare could have easily fixed up issues and added content if EA weren’t cowards.

  @MeatBunFTW @RinoTheBouncer Outer Worlds was a fun, more dialog heavy Mass Effect. The problem is that the dialog was very HEAVY.

  Mass effect sorta has this I think? cause even tho you do choose Shepards childhood and service history we hear about their mom but were never given details on the family I think

  @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.

  @LordCharizard33 There have been failures similar to this. It is the gaming industry after all. EA/Bioware has had stinkers in the past that failed immediately like Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem though those were not live service like this.

  @frogarchist My problem with ME3 is that ME2 clearly brought the series into a much more complex push and pull, and then 3 turns everything back into cartoonishly simple moral choices. Like there's a valid reason to be a renegade in Mass Effect 2. In Mass Effect 3 its just clip farming.

  @manuni340839 @_D4rk50ul_ @GeeksGamersCom Voltron was MADE for the streaming service. Highlander will do fine, its not got too much to live up to. Star Wars is DEAD.. enter Warhammer. Cavill was interviewed for Bond before and hes read the script (on his IG) for Mass Effect (at Amazon WITH Warhammer) So, sit down..

  @Polygon It's completely disingenuous to paint critics as bigoted right-wingers. people upset have no problem with female protagonists. This claim is demonstrably false. look at Horizon and Tomb Raider. people are just sick and tired of the cultural/social engineering. studios ruin everything. Mass Effect with Andromeda, They ruined the Star wars franchise, Amazon ruined The Lord of the Rings. The Odyssey is making the Greek characters black. No one wants to be preached at (like you did in this article). if you create a compelling world with a female protagonist no one's going to care and everyone will enjoy playing it. just leave the things we love alone.

  LylatLegend (@mondayboi126) reported 38 minutes ago

  @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.

  my 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.

  @ChampionsOTIce @LookAtMyMeat1 If they were in a combined reality. First thing that’s going to happen is the Imperial navy is going to destroy the Mass Effect relays. Indoctrination could be a problem but honestly if we’re talking WH30k there’s not a whole lot Reapers are going to be able to do against Titans and Imperial starships and that’s even before you factor in void shields. Ground units would fold like paper to Space Marines, Custodes, and Primarchs. I honestly doubt indoctrination would work on the Imperium super soldier units due to how complete their mental training is, and chaos has to literally corrupt the soul to get them to flip sides

  @5umando Even then it still doesn’t work. KOTOR, Mass Effect, Cyberpunk etc. all face that same issue. Yea, you’d basically have to make a dating sim, but I think it’s even deeper than that. It’s just really hard compared to a game with a singular character.

  @WeAreMassEffect The main problem with Mass Effect Andromeda was not the launch issues [that were fixed, eventually] or the writing or the Scooby Doo seriousness of the shipmates, it was that you couldn't replay the game as a completely different class. The "profile" idea stole so much the game.

  Raven (@RavenRanks) reported 41 minutes ago

  @TheGingerPerks Both Outer Worlds games are decent. Low quality Mass Effect vibes. The original has more humor than the so serious second game. Avowed is garbage. Pillars is mid. Kotor 2 is broken and half finished. They've never been a AAA studio. Just the hard truth 😕

  @HowlingKaya @RespectElves Director doesn't matter as much as the narrative writer. Mass Effect 1 & 2 had the same director but different writer, and it shows. And guess what the big problem post Chris Obsidian games have? Really ****** writing.

  @HaydenGrac70340 @SuperMarioT_YT The marketing has nothing to do with the console. I never played Arkham City on XBox Soni can't compare buti never had any issues with Mass Effect 3 and I did play that game on 360 and PS3. I care not at what resolution XCX ran, it played well.

  @FiadhBaikal Reminds me of what they did with Mass Effect Andromeda. Had an actual model be the face capture and basis for the default female MC, she looked fine in the preview. Then for the final release they puffed up the face and it looked like **** Not a reference problem, a dev problem

  This just doesn't look good and let me explain. The background looks like it is one thing and the background looks great. The Issue with the characters is this reminds me of Mass Effect Andromeda. the filters and animation done makes the character look 100% not like the mocap or person they did mocap. All of the women characters, for whatever reason intentionally, look like they are bloated in order to put more detail. Ciri looked the same as well. Face bloated to add more detail that makes no sense to me. I don't know if this is because of the engines we use for games and things like that but the reality is that this doesn't look good. Somehow though, the eastern studios have figured it out so us in the west are doing something wrong. That being said, playing as Laufey in a "god of war" title is dumb especially when i thought they were transitioning to a parallel story with Atreus and now the woman than i guess Kratos banged and now is dead so you can guide Kratos and the like on their journey? that's just retarded.

  @shinobi602 No problem for me. I personally prefer the default character and the thing that bothered me the most in Mass Effect was that you couldn't change some things about default Shepard like hair, beard and Tattoos/Makeup

  @Marcodmeatball but I cant get my self to play them. Idk how to explain it. I played some Mass Effect because of a recommendation from a friend and Amanda and that was fun but the same problem began 🫠 Many of my friends are playing Crimson Dessert and are enjoing it. I was thinking on buying

  The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reported 53 minutes ago

  Interesting 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.

  @stefan31415926 @SmashJT Yea I'm not going too. I cam play mass effect or pragmata for my Sci fi fix lol It would been cool to start with the content tho ngl Bungie really screwed destiny fans especially possible new ones.

  @SynthPotato What? Hahaha these graphics are juat bad. Ciri was also bad and guess what? CDPR brought in some guys from UE5 to work with them and now ciri looked good graphically cause its an engine issue. This about on the level of hilarious **** that the animation of mass effect Andromeda was for many of these things. The western studios are falling and its no wonder why foreign companies and governments are buying them cause they aren't make anything good.
