  @pinkkomimi My problem is more I try to play it like Mass Effect and then remember I can't use skills and I have no party members to cover me LOL. I'm getting better at it though thanks to the world quests.

  @Knight10293847 yhea in general that the actual problem of veliguard it a mmo disguised as a single player and they couldn’t really change that felling to make it more like a dragon age or mass effect

  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

  @KTiereny I think 5-10 years ago this would have been amazing especially with Yakuza and Persona games back then. The problem is now if you had another entrant the cost to lockdown content would be extortionate. 100 million to get a 3rd party exclusive like original mass effect.

  Why the Dark Energy plot was better. But the issue with that plot line was that it fit for a game that was a sequel to Mass Effect 1. But Mass Effect 3 was a sequel to Mass Effect 2 (which was a soft reboot of the series, not a sequel to Mass Effect 1).

  @JamieMoranUK This sucks. Mass Effect is one of my favorite IPs and it’s gonna be gone. Or the new owners will want live service Mass Effect

  No official word that EA’s new owners will sell BioWare — just strong LBO logic. $55B deal closed this week with ~$20B debt. Standard playbook: cut costs + sell non-core assets. BioWare fits (Veilguard miss, Anthem flop, now <100 staff, no reliable cash flow). Analysts flagged it months ago; ex-producer Mark Darrah noted selling studios/IP can knock real money off the debt. Waiting for the Amazon Mass Effect show (filming late 2026 → 2027-28 release) could revalue the IP like Fallout did. Smarter long-term move on paper. But debt has a clock (~$1B+/yr interest). Private owners usually prioritize quick deleveraging over waiting 18-30 months for an unproven TV boost. BioWare isn’t a cash engine like Sports or live service. If it does go on the block, the most logical buyers are Microsoft (Game Pass + RPG appetite) or Sony (single-player narrative strength). Amazon is a dark-horse option thanks to the TV series. Disney is a longer shot. Short-term incentives lean sell. Long-term value leans hold. We’ll see which wins.

  @kennyistyping idk there's like a mass effect issue also lens had somewhat the right idea of being just a backend but when you are so open ended curation gets hard and even moreso when you have adversarial usage. i think it takes something really paradigmic to get you off of that.

  Mass effect 1-3 3 had only the ending and lil retcons of Mass effect 2 with dark matter usage Being a problem Mass effect Andromeda HAD GREAT GAMEPLAY....aight characters jaal is the best The story ....mid like 5/10 Sad they never updated it and Cancelled the quarian dlc

  The White Queen (@WhiteQueenNV) reported 16 minutes ago

  The problem, I think is that Baldur's Gate 3's romance and really character writing in general is actually kind of piss weak. Nobody feels like an actual person. It is so much weaker and less coherent than anything from early Dragon Age or Mass Effect.

  @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.

  The problem is a studio or even an “established IP” means nothing without the actual talent behind it As much as I love BioWare and the Mass Effect universe, It would be a massive undertaking to bring it back to the level we were used to before. Still I will keep hope.

  @RudeJackalope For me, personally is Mass effect 1. I could never finish it. I dont think its terrible, i just struggled with the controls and they felt clunky as all hell for me which is a skill issue on my end but i never got far into it before dropping it all together

  Wakkander (@Wakkander) reported 22 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.

  @donutzski Like for real... When mass effect Andromeda was broken it llooked better than this

  Michael Durfee (@MKDurfee) reported 31 minutes ago

  @Pirat_Nation Problem is “remaster” is a fancy term for ai-upscaled graphics and that’s it. Devs these days almost never put any effort into actually fixing stuff. Look at the mass effect legendary edition. So many opportunities to add stuff that would have made the games better, but nah..

  true and the only game ive seen address this problem correctly is mass effect bc being called shepard doesnt break the immersion since it Is technically your name but being called leader in p3r all the time really ******* sucks

  @ElaraVtuber Mass Effect Andromeda. I unironically enjoyed the game despite its many issues.

  @d_linkski got another similar laptop a few years later, tried again, same issue. every personal computer i've owned has been similar- strong but not specifically made for gaming, with integrated cards that games hate. my 1st game on steam was mass effect and i have 1 hour played over 8 pc

  @jdgaming2025 @bioware @masseffect I did hear they had creative issues, tons of money was spent, then the lead left, all the major heads of bioware jumped ship to make their own company and now as soon as 24-26 they had to hire some of the OG's back to rework ME5 so it doesn't destroy the franchise or the company.

  @palladiummag "But almost everyone engaged with the topic who isn’t a denier is either a doomer, an accelerationist, or some combination of the two." I'm a Synth! (Let's get the Green ending of Mass Effect 3 or the Institute ending of Fallout 4 and upgrade them!) "Maybe they are insane in what they want. That’s always a risk. Maybe their actions will push everyone else into desperation and lead to the extinction of mankind as we know it." You really think we're going to get Horizon: Zero Dawn's ending? I refuse to submit! (The entire tribe was longhoused!) "I realized that I was much more interested in using something like this imaginary computer, and being challenged and empowered by its demands for agency, than I was in any computer designed for a “human.” I realized my concept of “killer AI” was just the projection of all the agency we conventionally deny ourselves as ordinary humans." Hmmm... I have run into a similar problem as I build the user face and 'playspace,' but I completely disagree with your framing... I want a rotom-dex... Great article! I skipped a few paragraphs after gauging their relevance to me... but you knocked this out of the pak! Especially with the opening paragraph of 'Make Yourself Human Again.' 👏👏👏👏👏

  @VGC_News I think it's more like problems with bioware and their talent pool. They haven't made a good game since Mass Effect 3.

  The Laconic Sardonic (@FabricateClaim) reported 49 minutes ago

  Dragon 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.

  @SCShipyards Some of the world building they did with Tali Zorah nar Rayya in Mass Effect. She had trouble sleeping on the Normandy because the ship ran so quiet

  @kalaelizabeth I think that's definitely true right after Dragon Age Origins. (And you can argue the same for Mass Effect to a certain extent even with 2 though that game was close to being as good as the first.) 2 was a noble but broken attempt thay some people a lot of love and worth in

  @MaroonKennedy Everyone wanted a space RPG. They just didn’t do a great job at making one. This probably wouldn’t be a problem that they made a new IP first if it was more like Mass Effect

  @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

  @wesleytypes @masseffect Nah, ****** take, ME2 is totally better than first ME and ME3 because 1st was clunky af and mako mission were annoying and broken (me 2 had them too, but only in dlc) and ME3, bc that's me3, ****** ending and to much useless drama for nothing.

  @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.

  @SvensationalGuy That's what gives it some replayability but really the game needs more story choices that have impact, it's still very linear in pathing and commentary, while it gives the impression of playing a Mass Effect like game it doesn't have the choices in situations that change outcomes further in the game, it doesn't have equipment and weapon stats just some item slots and has very basic small maps with camera issues in certain areas of the map, While Ive enjoyed the story and customisation of characters I feel it lacks any real substance to class specialities and abilities, from a developer's standpoint the game isn't doing anything new in the genre, so it only gets 7.5 out of 10 for my final rating!
