  @Battlefield @masseffect Aaaaaand one of the bundles items is already broken 💀

  @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

  @HariSel57511397 I hard disagree, Mass effect 2 is a perfect bottle episode where they focus on worldbuilding and its characters, it has the best cast of crewmates by far, the issue is simply 1) there should have been 4 games. 2) Mass effect 3 wasted too much time

  @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!

  @MythicMgames I love the Mass Effect Trilogy. I preordered the digital deluxe version of Andromeda. I have yet to finish that game. Every time I try to play through it, I stop around the 50% complete mark. The game is boring. People will whine about graphics and glitches, but the game is boring. The enemies are basically space dark spawn (and its not as cool as it sounds.), the boss battles are almost all the same, there is very few major choices... I could go on and on about how lack luster and bad Andromeda is, but the headline is that Andromeda is boring. Thats its main problem. And it has a bunch of problems.

  @luskybe @havonetae @kalaelizabeth Except it's a fanon conclusion, not canon. In canon, yes the cycle is broken so we can't be sure, but Mass Effect has a fairly realistic take on human nature. Conflict is inevitable. Might not happen straight away, but it will in some form, large or small scale.

  @Riddle736 @NikTek They're also in Canada which means that they'll probably be emboldened to double down on woke. It's like the UK right now Basically, there's no way that Mass Effect 4 will be good. It may be safe just like BF6 was safe....for a bit. But it'll likely crash after

  @ZenitaDee @LumpyTheCook No, you're just really stupid. The plot for the trilogy barely moves an inch through the entirety of Mass Effect 2. It is riddled with plot holes along the way. You not seeing that isn't my problem.

  Riddle me this Batman. What is the endgame of Skyrim?. What is the endgame of elden ring? What is the end game of Fallout? What is the end game of Mass effect? What is the end game to every single story driven RPG out there? This isn't a live service game.

  @irockithere @RenfailSoL “Immersion.” I had no problem feeling immersed in KOTOR, Mass Effect, or any ES title. It’s a game after all. Looking at screen, sitting a room. There’s a limit. No loading screen doesn’t make you feel like a citizen of the game. Like 0.5% more.

  @nuhre_ The issue is whether Bioware have any writers capable of the type of story and dialoge that was in Mass Effect 1 through 3 and excluding the woke nonsense. I don't believe they do, but we'll see

  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.

  Bad take because Patrick Weekes wrote Mordin, while the lead writer of Mass Effect was Drew Karpyshin. Also, Casey Hudson had the final say on what went into Mass Effect. Veilguard’s issue is the overall writing not just one character.

• 
  Kenji S (@Kenjis9965) reported 31 minutes ago

  I disagree on this You absolutely can make a new Mass Effect game. There's plenty of ways to go about this. Andromedas issue was not Ryder.. And Andromeda I feel would have been improved with some DLC And I'm very tired of Veilguard being a punching bag in these arguments

  Playing mass effect for the first time has been so fun & then my mood was soured when I realized that @EA doesn't give two shits about fixing a well talked about problem which is fixing the #MassEffect Legendary Edition steam achievements issue. Why hasnt it been fixed?

• 
  Neon Bird Games (@NeonBirdGames) reported 38 minutes ago

  Absolutely awful take The Mass Effect universe is so ripe for games and media without anything to do with Shepard and the Reapers and they could be massive hits Reducing Andromeda's issues to "well it didn't have Shepard" sure is something. Dumb, but something

  My saying has always been “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Michael Gamble is also an executive producer in this just like he’s currently in charge of Mass Effect 5. Appealing to non-gamers is concerning for the show because it begs the question if that will also be applied to the upcoming game. #MassEffect

  Wait, people skip Mass Effect 1? Is this a thing? Surely not. Mass Effect 1 isn't some problem child or inferior game we all just slog through in order to get to no2. It's brilliant, you learn the universe, become a S.P.E.C.T.R.E, Garrus, meet Saren, Garrus, explore, Garrus.

  @nuhre_ ME:A would of been better game without being attached to Mass Effect - that is the truth; the game play was fun, but yea the uglification of characters; infamous lip sync issues - and again certain characters written like crap killed it.

  @ForevaSimming @EAHelp @TheSims Same problem here. I'm going to be very pissed if I can't get my Mass Effect fix tonight.

  Chris (Man Who Games) (@AlternateUrge) reported 55 minutes ago

  KOTOR, Jade Empire, Mass Effect 1, Dragon Age Origins, all of these games frigging rule, and most of them are legendary influential games If EA can not force their hand on anything, let the live-service elements go, give them time, I'm confident they'll make a worthy game (6/6)

  @kalaelizabeth I don't really see the problem. A lot of these games are citing inspiration from mass effect and this one is being headed by former bioware employees. It's like complaining that a videogame was called a souls-like when it cites dark souls as a direct inspiration

• 
  Stanisław Wójtowicz (@creativenamehe) reported 57 minutes ago

  @LuisMay23930054 @kalaelizabeth Mass Effect without human-centric story won't work. It's already very generic sci-fi, without humanity's struggle to secure its place it won't feel like Mass Effect. That was one of Andromeda's biggest issues in story and world building

  Kevin (@themoralskeptic) reported 58 minutes ago

  The last thing we heard is this was to be set after the trilogy. My suspicion is it’s intended as a lead-in to the next game. The problem is executives who want to use a well-loved IP to make money, but don’t understand why it’s well-loved. This is literally the problem Amazon had with Wheel of Time. If they disregard the existing fandom to that extent with Mass Effect, the show will suffer the same fate, but worse: it’s likely to have a knock-on effect of dooming BioWare in the eyes of EA’s new owners. The next Mass Effect would have to be an Expedition 33-level runaway success to insulate the studio from this degree of fallout.
