  @RinoTheBouncer I agree that this would've made a great Mass Effect spinoff. What if this was the planet the Normandy crash-landed on at the end of Mass Effect 3? With all of the mass relays destroyed, the Normandy crew presumably would've had to make the best of their situation on that planet.

  @darkmagas @Pirat_Nation There is no easy way to say this back. Been there, done that, still ended up back on Console as many others I've known over the years have. PC isn't some blissful oasis. Some nice things about it, but its also just chaos on that platform. How many chat clients do I really need? Is it going to be the GPU drivers or a shotty CPU or Bad RAM that takes me out of the experience next? Why is consistency such a problem for PC? Great I have a large catalog of old games, but that doesn't change the fact that I to have a catalog of old console games. I still game on PC now and again. Love my Steamdeck, but I'm looking forward to a portable PS6 more than I am looking forward to the next steamdeck. Valve has done nothing for their achievements and switch to a Microsoft space is not really acceptable to me as I'm looking for Linux gaming, not windows gaming. Epic..... ya no... GoG great in concept, but not in practice. Then there is the 3rd parties that seem to think launchers in launchers was a good idea. Still annoyed that I can't play Mass Effect Legendary Edition without first being connected to the internet. Just let me play my damned game.

  @Blazeon_TV @FiadhBaikal The idea is ****. The movie might be ok. Eragon was decent....if you didn't call it Eragon. Disney's The Black Cauldron was decent as long as you change the title as well (butchered the story terrible. Some oarts right, other oasrts terribly wrong). This will be one of those. Decent show. Terrible parts in design because of "woke". Matt Damon being in it, (I guess he is Odysseus?), that's the part to focus on, for if it is a proper "Odyssey" , it will follow Matt Damon's Odysseus, and leave Elliot Jerkulese, and Helen of Africa, after their small part. No issues with the black actress or the mentality ill woman who became " a man". More power to them, live & let live. They both know the truth. They are taking place in a classic work, they feel they have a right to be the main roles because of their "I should be in this because I can be not what I look like or what I really am". Now. ....take Mass Effect for instance. This same thing happened...BUT ...the right way. The Elcor....did their own variation of "Hamlet". But whoe WHOLE CAST was Elcor. So, it make 100% sense. If the Odyssey was redone, on a "what if people of dark skin dominated these isles and this region during thw creation of this" THAT...would at least make sense. So...we need to find a bold director to make Malcom X. Only making X white, hanging out with the blacks. Maybe then, some of the "woke" would understand more.. *hears wood stacking up for a massive burning at the stake....*

  @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

  An analyst told CNBC EA might have to sell IP to service its buyout debt. Four days later, BioWare showed up in exactly that sentence. > Aug 2: CNBC quotes an analyst on the $55B EA buyout - "I don't know how EA is going to service this debt without... studio closures, and possibly IP sell-off" > the buyout added $18-20B in new debt to the balance sheet, confirmed across multiple reports this week > Aug 6: EA is reportedly looking to sell BioWare and other IPs specifically to pay that debt down > EA has not confirmed or denied it - the studio that made Mass Effect and Dragon Age is now a line item in a debt-service plan, not a press release Four days between "here is what selling IP would look like" and BioWare's name landing in that exact sentence is not a leak. It is a timeline. What is next on that list?

  @Beastiarii @Darket696 @K__Med This is a misconception sadly. Robbie Bach was in charge during Xbox's most successful era. He's the one who launched the Xbox 360, he's the one who helped organize many of the studios and the companies IPs. Such as Halo, Gears, Fable, Forza etc. He was the one who planted a flag for exclusivity for titles like Bioshock and Mass Effect 1. he was head of Xbox until 2010. 5 years after 360's launch. That means that many of his decisions and efforts ran through to 2012. He's also the reason you got the NXE, Blades, Xbox Live, and the many deals for things like Netflix. When Mattrick took over in 2010, Xbox 360 was already a success and leading PS3. He greenlit the Kinect. He was the one who didn't continue the acquisitions of exclusives and studios while sony was stacking release after release after release. During his time he lost momentum and the PS3 caught up and surpassed the Xbox 360 in sales. He looked at the usage data of Xbox 360 users and decided that since most Xbox users use the 360 to stream entertainment that taking kinect to the next level and integrating a dying technology like cable TV into the xbox was the way to go. That lead to him setting course of the hardware and OS team to change direction for the Xbox One. It was under his watch that a shfit to overly strict always on connections was decided for Xbox. Then in 2013 he revealed the hardware, told 80m xbox 360 gamers that they should stay on 360 if they didn't want an online connection. This resulted in the walking back of a heavily integrated drm system and publication process that wrecked the XBox XDK to the point that it actually got worse. Ruined Xbox's reputation. Destroyed their good will. Gave Sony the opportunity to pull out in front for the next generation. Did I mention these decisions also hurt the hardware architecture of the Xbox One because focus was put on non gaming features instead of game development? Well that happened. Xbox One VCR model was inferior to the PS4. At 100 dollars cheaper with a proper architecture suited for modern games that weren't madden. Sony trounced on them. That isn't even getting into the stupid name he green lit that gave gamers a way to taunt the brand, X-BONE. This lead to the quick dismissal of Don Mattrick from his position as he went to zynga. This lead to interim leadership with Julie Larson-Green for the following year until Phil could take the position in 2014. That means Mattricks plans were still in play, Julie was forced to hold an umbrella for someone else. Competent enough for the job imho, but never given the opportunity to prove herself to do so, since she was just there to keep the lights on. Then Phil came on board and had to right an already sinking ship that was being outsold 2.3 to 1. That gap would never close. Phil started out his first full year in 2015. They redesigned the One for the One S to put it on better or equal footing with the PS4. Got rid of the Kinect and made it possible for the VCR model to better compete. Gave us the One X and Backward Compatibility program (which was not cheap). Launched game Pass. by time he corrected these things his one weakness began to over take him. He doesn't know how to run studios. He's no Shuhei Yoshida (neither is anyone at sony these days mind you). By time all of this came together in 2017, the xbox was delivering compelling exclusive software. It was taking 3 years or more to get something out the door. Game Pass sabotaged any chance at a win they had. Just look at how poorly gears 4 and 5 did as a result, especially with that 1 month free. Discounts for the Halo MC steelbook and halo 5 steel book were dirt cheap within a matter of months. Day one game pass killed xbox and that was probably his first true bad move. Mattrick wouldn't have done a better job in this regard. I feel game pass was inevitable. Mostly because of Satya Nadella's position on software when he took over. Windows, Office, Cloud, anything microsoft was either cloud or subscription models. Do with that what you will, but this is why I start pointing to Satya as the actual problem here. Gears and Halo could have helped make Xbox healthy. Again assuming woke changes and other crazy nonsense wasn't at play. I have separate opinions for that and they are equally as negative. So where does that land us? two ceo's left with a dumpster fire because of two men. Don Mattrick and Satya Nadella.

  @wesleytypes @EA They never bothered to fix Andromeda and we never even got that Quarian DLC. If it’s not an immediate monetary success, EA will force the studios to abandon it. Much like Anthem, RIP. I don’t think we’ll get another Mass Effect for another 10 years, and that’s me being hopeful.

  @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.

  Archer Defense Daily News (@ArcherNightfall) reported 24 minutes ago

  Exactly why there shouldn't have been any ceasfire The problem is masseffect We need to figure new bomb area yield. 1. You figure out how to do an real orbital drop system like COBRA's Zeus 2. You figure out how to do insanely large bombs that have actually closer/fractional to nuclear type power. This is actually an insane physics problem. Eventually AI robots entering into conflict zones will alleviate this problem. But for right now this, sucks. And by the way this was a huge issue in Afghanistan and why they were able to hang in there so long. I've said it before our munitions are too precise. This is what drags out wars. Something is missing from this fight.

  @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.

  @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

  Nothing's set in stone yet on how Saudi management will affect EA but they're more interested in live service and sports titles. I expect Bioware to get sold off. I've seen people speculate Mass Effect and Dragon Age will individually be sold, but I doubt it.

  @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.

  Strokavich Okametal (ストロキャビッチ） (@Strokavich) reported 29 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.

  It really does suck that in Mass Effect: Evolution it is marketed as "First Contact War Shown" and its ends so quickly its genuinely baffling. And not only that but the Illusive Man just goes to Illium like its no problem. First human on an alien world and no one cares. The other comics are much better but why did they introduce the Illusive Man like this? Sure show him in the First Contact war but don't make it seem like its about the conflict and also just let time pass so the next event makes more sense. Also having Saren encounter the Reapers this early is weird when he encounters them for what I presumed was the first time.

  @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.

  @Tacofridge @Swurv__ No, that’s not a fix, at that point is no longer a BIG universe with hundreds of planets. If you like small you have Outerworlds, Mass Effect, Star Wars, etc. If you want BIG you have Starfield, No Man Sky, Elite Dangerous, Long Journey Home, Starflight. Is good to have both!

  @SoullessCorvus @For_Macragge It requires a lot of setup math. Hell I did Eve Online ships versus Mass Effect reapers years ago and it took about 300 pages of notes, math equations and a whole host of measurements. But the biggest problem is in finding a point of comparison. Compare the apples to the apples.

  @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
