  @justbrowsintidy @maxdeploy @WeAreMassEffect Except it was good. My personal take is if people think it sucked actually don’t understand Mass Effect as a whole. And yes there were a large vocal group who whinged there was no Shepard. The problem largely came with EA doing what EA does best and that’s being total ********.

  @RenfailSoL Mass Effect and Kotor were storybased games not sandbox games. Although personally I have no issues with how Starfield handles it and think the hate is overblown

  @RazorFist Mass Effect 1's only real problem was the combat. The story, atmosphere, dialog, and setting were fantastic. ME2 changed it from an RPG into an action game where you had some skill points. The gameplay was tighter but the story was half-assed and the final boss was a joke.

  So I saw the comments from the director about Andromeda, and I have to admit, he has some points. I played Starfield for 2 hours and then played, and best Mass Effect Andromeda rather than finish that. Andromeda has its problems, but at least its not Starfield.

  @thegreatnate95 @WeAreMassEffect Combat was great, but they tried mixing halo with mass effect in the story and it sucked. Add to that, the issue of ignoring past lore to fit the game and lackluster companions and... well... It would have done a lot better if they hadnt called it Mass Effect.

  @J0hnADouglas It gets worse if you look over the books in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section. Nearly all over 15 years old. Next to nothing new published unless it's part of a franchise like Mass Effect. The problem is the publishers refusing to publish anything other than horny slop for women.

  @kalaelizabeth See I feel like that's the issue to me. People want Mass Effect and there's certainly very strong elements of what Mass Effect is which Andromeda lacks some of and other part of community which thinks of ME as tale of Commander Shepherd and that's why it struggled the most.

  @cheersitskatie Oh look another stupidity oozing, men hating ***** wannabe fan not worthy of the inclusive Mass Effect fandom. Kindly piss off, you don't understand the games and themes of coming together and resolving issues with each other while facing existential threats like the Reapers.

  @Pilatus_Arts I honestly think they should remake Mass Effect Andromeda. Fix the story, fix the combat, fix the game engine, fix MANY of the characters, and give us 12 squad mates, 30 explorable worlds, 15 of them for colonies, and more new aliens!

  @DanticsOfficial The Mass Effect trilogy was BioWares Mangum Opus. They tried chasing that high again with their sequel game Andromeda but that fell flat. And then they tried chasing the live service model with Anthem and look at how that turned out. And finally they tried chasing the modern audience with Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd…

  Elana Fisher (@elanafisher) reported 26 minutes ago

  @kalaelizabeth Also a big problem is people comparing it to a whole trilogy. If I compare it to just Mass Effect one, I like it more. I honestly didn’t become that attached to characters until ME2 besides Garrus

  @wojtek_mic @DiscussingFilm Mass effect was always woke but it was written in a way that it wasn't forced on anyone. The woke stuff was natural and never forced that's why no one had a problem with it. Appeal to non gamers means less action and more bullshit nonsense

  @WeAreMassEffect I was hoping for more Andromeda content or at least a new DLC bridging the Andromeda galaxy to Mass Effect 5. One of Andromedas big problems was dialogue. They tried to make it sound like a 'CW' teen show. Mass Effect is supposed to be gritty and dark not childish teen angst.

  People just need to accept when their stuff just isn’t very good at its core. I didn’t find the gameplay to be the issue with Andromeda, though it could have done with better level design. It was the writing, and many people play Mass Effect for the writing. The plot felt boring to go through and lacked the gravitas that the original Mass Effect had. Things happened, but never did I really think they mattered all that much. That is very much due to the party members, who didn’t feel all that distinctive at all from on another or were just so forgettable beyond their shared snark that I just tuned them out after a while. The dialogue choices themselves lacked any weight because most of the time you just said the same thing, but either as a jerk or a nice person. That makes choosing dialogue a chore, not something you really have to think about. The combat was pretty good though, I’ll give it that, though rather than letting us switch to all classes I’d rather they have much more robust class systems with deeper skills and specializations. That creates much more unique scenarios per playthrough rather than just swapping to whatever at any point in the game. Recognize your faults when people point them out. Dismissing those criticizing it at “chuds” is such a cope you just sound pathetic.

  Amazon is ordering major script rewrites for the Mass Effect TV series. They want to modernize it. It’s the same old story where a studio takes a loved universe and starts hacking away at it because they think they know better than the source material. I want to enjoy a space opera without a lecture. Especially one where I’m not wondering if the writers even liked the original game or if they’re just trying to "fix" something that wasn't broken. Usually, when a show gets ordered to undergo massive rewrites to make it more accessible or modern, it just means they're stripping out the soul and the grit that made people care in the first place. Amazon has a habit of doing this to established franchises. We’re likely in for another project that values a message over the actual craftsmanship of the world. Expect the worst.

  @EAHelp Mass Effect Legendary achievements still not working on Steam because EA app has them unlocked at the beginning of the game. Is there a fix? or do I need to keep copying and pasting this message?

  @UndineImpera @ShitpostRock2 Worse than something like Mass Effect in every way. Even Mass Effect: Andromeda was better after all the patches to fix the bugs.

  @SnapBlastPLAY Yes it did. As a long Mass Effect fan they ruined the game for me and using the frostbite engine to cut cost was a bad idea the game looked awful should have used unreal engine like previous Mass Effect games cause the main issue with Andromeda is graphics and animation.

  Interestingly, this has been an issue since mass effect 1. It's a unique design problem for a dialogue system that wants to simplify on-screen options. Having the whole line on screen (and then having to wait for the voiced protag to say it) would be more cumbersome, I think.

  The issue BioWare has is they are always too quiet. After the fall of the last three games they made, they need to be more transparent. Mass Effect is their last chance, just because it’s a major franchise doesn’t mean anything after all the flops they had. #MassEffect #Bioware

  @IGN Mass Effect: Andromeda could've been a good game if; 1. BioWare wasn't struggling with all their internal issues at the time. 2. EA gave them time to familiarize themselves with their forced upon engine of Frostbite. 3. EA allowed them time to cook on the writing instead of-

  No Mass Effect streaming today either. Unfortunately I didn't have time to trouble shooting everything because I have worked and I am writing something that I will share just with a friend of mine. See you this Wednesday with Neverwinter Nights EE.

  @ByanBenyolds @MythicMgames I completely understand that I have games in my catalogue that I have not touched yet again like all the other posts I responded to the reason I thought this individual was lying was strictly because most of us know who are massive mass effect fans since it’s inception how contentious Andromeda was. The game nearly single-handedly destroyed the mass effect franchise the amount of vitreal in hate over a decade. It’s hard for me to believe that someone that is a fan of the series has no idea about and it’s just trying to rage bait. Again, the game was so terrible that they canceled DLC That’s all, again I have no issue with the hustle
