  @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.

  @larryemcdaniel @GoodGameKofi Problem was they did not own many of the 360 big IP's outside of Halo. They later bought Gears and Forza in the one Gen All those biggest 360 games were third party mass effect, fallout ,COD,ES etc PS turned around on the 4 had better pricing and got the marketing for 3rd parties

  @kachi_uchay @olusesan__tolu I don’t see the issue. TLOU left behind told us how she discovered she was immune. The Witcher 3 blood and wine did send-off for Geralt. Mass effect 3 expanded upon shepherd. Plus the dlc was Free

  @Ivan06102335 @DanticsOfficial I get that having more attractive characters makes the game better, but I'll never understand the need for RPG fans to romance in games. I'm the biggest Mass Effect fan there is but we are talking about pixels after all. I just hope they can fix some of the facial animations.

  @DanticsOfficial @JCalabration6 I played at launch and enjoyed every little bit of it. It had all elements from Mass Effect 1. It had some issues, but this days any flaws means that the game is trash and it thrown under the bus. People don’t know how to appreciate **** this days.

  @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.

  @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.

  The 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.

  @CDRJohnShepard Netcode is a lot more stable so the mod won't crash as much as reach did. Community made shaders allow for PBR support. Levels also don't have to be sealed in Halo 4 so I can port mass effect maps pretty fast (Did this one in a couple days).

  Knight(Fate)1029384756 (@Knight10293847) reported 36 minutes ago

  My first gut instinct is to agree because yeah. Mass Effect doesn't need a canon ending and it should by all means respect what the players have done and explore those consequences to their natural conclusions. What the rachni choice should have been is exactly that. If you killed the rachni they shouldn't have showed up at all in ME3. Imagine hearing from a friend who killed the rachni and them saying "I didn't get that mission. Like I saw Grunt and we fought Reapers but the rachni didn't exist in my game. I killed them." And just being struck by how that decision not only makes the renegade choice correct (in a way) but also such a vast difference. An entire enemy type and race just doesn't have influence at all in the game. But that didn't happen. What happened is the rachni game back regardless and the only difference was if you paragon'd you paragon'd again to get war assets. If you renegaded you renegaded again to not loss war assets. Something that does have an effect but its not what the player expects on a bare bones basic or even what they wildly might think. And that is the issue with the ending choices of Mass Effect. The promise such divergent stories that can't simply be crunched into a similar path. There will just be fundamentally different conflicts and issues with each one of them. This video does suggest they just do what Mass Effect has always done but that is accepting a comprise instead of expecting what it should natural be. Not having different assignments to show that "Hey there are differences?" But genuine world differences. Synthesis is described where conflict isn't really a factor anymore. Where everyone knows what its like to be someone else. That story, that exploration of the themes would result in a much less action oriented game and more something like Disco Elysium where the central conversation is about what this life is like. Control is likewise a very different kind of conflict where smaller scale wars could happen. But galactic conflicts just won't exist. Something like a Krogan Civil War is just unlikely to happen with a Shepard controlling the Reapers. Where they could easily stomp down on any major conflict. And not only that but things like diseases, medically issues and similar things would nearly be erased. Maybe there is a story where Shepard becomes a tyrant and rules over organics as an AI god but I don't think many could see their Shepard doing that and I don't think BioWare could see Shepard doing that. Destroy likewise would just be about reconnecting the galaxy together and would be the one most similar to the setting before the Crucible. And all of this isn't even accounting for honoring other player choices. I mentioned it a bit with the Krogan Civil War hinted at in a N7 teaser but there is literally no way a Krogan Civil War can realistically exist in a Synthesis ending or a Control Ending. Not in the way the art depicts. Like I can not accept that if the quarians are dead in one playthrough that BioWare just goes. JK they live and the only difference is a mission. No, it should feel like a real loss. Something was fundamentally changed between a version of them living and a version of them dead. Because that is the promise of importing choices. A major decision was made and you will see how that plays out to its fullest. Not half, not a quarter but seeing it realized. The same feeling you get in a D&D session where a major choice you made comes back and makes you realize it would have been different if you made a different choice. I know for a fact that if BioWare does crunch the endings and the only difference is different side quests, I and other fans would be upset. Because that isn't what I wanted. The solution for BioWare is two fold. The hard path and the easy path. The first is they just buckle down make three games and honor the choices made in each game. Not saying Synthesis should be Disco Elysium but Mass Effect but its the one that makes the most sense in my head. But something that fully explores the ramifications of having this union between synthetics and organics. Same with Control and same with Destory. The second path is just canonize an ending. Its the easiest way because they can focus their efforts on story of the game instead of making a game that is literally about showing the player their choices and making the game before 2040. I think they should also canonize the Genophage, and quarian and geth choices because I know for a fact that if they don't it will be real sad seeing the only differences being less krogan, quarians and geth. And this isn't even considering the fact that the Krogan Civil War just won't happen at the scale shown in the artwork if Wreav is in charge, Eve is dead, and the Genophage isn't cured. Sorry but the krogan would just die out. Because the expectation of that combination of choices would be the krogan's extinction. Its how the games have framed it since the beginning and to alter that would introduce internal inconsistency. I hope this shows why this will be so difficult for BioWare but also why literally no other RPG studio has done it to this scale. What BioWare did with ME1 to 3 and DAO to DAI is astounding. Truly more than what I have seen. Because CDPR fumbled that and gave up with Witcher 3. Small example being Thaler is alive no matter what. And big example is that the dragon state you helped create alongside helping the Scoia'tael in the prior games just does nothing. No mention of it and not even the bare bones of them coming to help Geralt at Kaer Morhen. Obsidian did it fine enough but they just didn't do that with Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed. Larian? What about Larian? Larian has set each of their Divinity games 100s of years apart from each other just so they don't have to address it and on top of that they just are inconsistent. Only caring recently because they made it bigger. And don't even get me started with BG3. I know Wizards has already canonized events but what was with Viconia and Saervok? Just random guys with their names attached. Not even canonized endings just completely different people. Casey Hudson did an interview with Game Informer about this and he is right when he says this has to be planned out. So, many of these companions did these as features because BioWare did it because BioWare controlled what was supposed to be in an RPG. But as that feature waned without BioWare pushing it these other developers slowly removed it. Because its ******* hard to do. Great rewards if done right. A true feeling of your character existing in the world and having an effect long after it happened but a mountainous path it is. Again I want the hard path. BioWare. I'll wait man. Make three games and honor the choices of each of them. But as this video says its also about the money. And there isn't any reality where EA goes "Yeah, we can about 5 years with each release and for each of those games to be very different. Go head."

  @nuhre_ They also have a massive problem with mass effect 5, juat conceptually. It won't be a sequel to andromeda so it has to be 3. Now are we playing shepherd again or a new character? Anything but destroy reapers seems impossible to really continue. What choices do we go with? Do we import? Really hard to do now so will we pick? There are so many setting issues involved which will cause massive problems. And thats before we even begin.

  Mass Effect 2 is criminally overrated. Good game, but its where everything went wrong. A lot of the problems with ME3 & maybe Andromeda can be traced back to 2. Its also the turning point when BioWare went from a respectable RPG developer, to the vapid AAA game company it is now.

  @EA @EAHelpOfficial_ I still have not received a response or resolution regarding either issue documented in this case. Mass Effect: Andromeda will not connect to EA’s online services on my account. This prevents me from accessing the game’s online and multiplayer functionality. I have already attempted the available troubleshooting steps, but the problem remains unresolved. Second, I purchased Mass Effect: Andromeda multiplayer DLC packs specifically for online multiplayer content that I cannot access because the game will not connect to EA’s services. I am therefore requesting a refund for those online DLC purchases. The purchased content is unusable through no fault of my own. This case has already been pending without an adequate response. Please escalate it to a support representative who can examine my EA account, game entitlements, and purchase history and provide an actual resolution. Thank you.

  @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.

  @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.
