  @StabbyPotat0 Walking Dead, Mass effect 3 (only if you played the previous 2) and lowkey Borderlands 2 was PEAK

  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.

  @PMaka1991 Compilation of games (like AC: The Ezio Collection, Halo: MCC, Crash, Mass Effect, etc.) also needs separation of lists! 🏆

  @asha_shar Here is a few ideas 1.drop EA and Ubisoft connections and try to buy their IP like Rayman, splinter cell, dead space, mass effect, ect.. Ip that is normally associated with Xbox. I mean 10+ years paying for them to be in the service or a 1 time lump sum to add the ip to ultimate.

  @kalaelizabeth They are abandoning it, it’s not horrible, but it is a bad Mass Effect game. Weak writing and semi weak characters. Calling the fans the problem and the reason the game you starred in bombed is not how you endear them to future ventures.

  @SaraJoan11 You're making assumptions for everyone that played it. Like I and many have said, there were other problems with the game competely outside Shepard and their legacy. Having legacy at all can artificially boost a game. Who's to say without the Mass Effect brand the game would have even burst out of obscurity? Just because you enjoy the game enough to make a twitter page about it, doesn't mean others can't seperate their bias and fairly judge. You can like what you like but condescending to me doesn't change the facts. The game was rushed out the door and by doing so, a lot suffered. The pacing was off, the story wasn't incredibly cohesive, the characters weren't as compelling as they could be, it was riddled with bugs and problems, there was no real consequence to choice, the open world structure wasn't developed properly, etc. If a game can't grow on it's own at release, it is not healthy.

  @__loam That sort of thing was built into Cyberpunk from the source material being well not modern day if you go by 2020 and Mass Effect is where they started doing it but in subtle ways... the issue more comes when it's badly forced like say Veilguard with Taash..

  @atharia_ The Fallout show was good enough that my dad watched it four times straight. The Halo show, for someone who's only played 1, 2, and 3 back when they were released, was decent. Both have problems. I'm still hopeful about Mass Effect being not bad – as a massive fan.

  Since #MassEffect is trending, is anything being undertaken to fix steam achievements and EA play achievements not working for MELE 2 & 3, @EAHelp ? I've tried multiple fixes to get it to work and have had no luck.

  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.

  @JamieMoranUK I've been wanting a faithful Mass Effect adaptation since I played the games back in the day. I'm a huge Mass Effect fan, and now everybody in entertainment must have an IQ of 80 or below to get in. My heart is broken.

  @AlmsiviSimp I think i'd like to see it "remastered" the same way mass effect was- have more consistent graphics through the cutscenes, fix the ports, declutter some of the combat, and have all 3 games in 1

  @Pirat_Nation The biggest problem was the terrible writing, not the technical issues. Mass Effect games live and die on their writing quality and Andromeda was a huge fail in this respect.

  Bob Marshall (@isrven1) reported 31 minutes ago

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

  @MythicMgames Andromeda is a good game in itself. The problem is that it doesn't have what made Mass Effect great. Companions are bland, choices seem less impactful, story is not as good... combat is great, though. IMHO, as long as you don't expect it to be as good as the trilogy, go for it.

  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

  CassiusVictus (@CassiusVictus) reported 38 minutes ago

  @MadamSavvy A major issue with adapting Mass Effect to a non-game medium is that it's narrative was largely build around player choice. In ME1 Shepard doesn't have a single line of dialogue that isn't prompted by the player.

  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)

  @BonafideXP @masseffect @bioware “When you try to appeal to everyone, you end up appealing to no one.” 💯 one of the main issues in gaming now No conviction of devs just saying, this is cool, this is what we like, this is what we will build and offer Only 'safe', decision by committee, lukewarm slop

  @Ali_ibn_Snafu @DAKKADAKKA1 @grok The good guys win even with the bad ME3 endings, but Mass Effect itself didn't suffer that same issue with it's ending lol

  @DannyINTEL Problem w/ a lot of these games is they end up having the same combat as Genshin or Wuwa They should have considered that with Urban settings it should have gameplay more similar to The Division, Cyberpunk, Watchdogs or Mass Effect Prioritize ranged gameplay over melee.

  @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

  @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.

  @BobWhencer @wwarrior_1 But what I mean is that the cringe stuff “” was not the problem with this game? The problem was that EA got too much control because they were like hey, you have a limited budget and then they’re like **** you we’re calling you’re the mass effect team. To rewrite everything.

  @The_Huskarl hey derry-do i have a problem for you how do you expand the audience for a big budget game like mass effect 2 without removing all the elements that made the franchise interesting in the first place? hey-ho yellow boots or something

  @_SHAAMUUU_ Probably same problem next Mass effect being direct sequel to ME 3

  Chris (Man Who Games) (@AlternateUrge) reported 59 minutes ago

  Seen some takes on this going around, so I'll put my two cents in as a Bioware fanboy Bioware needs to make another Mass Effect, this is non-negotiable. But their problem is not needing a new IP or whatever, their problem is a fundamental flaw with their development (1/6)

  @masseffect can we please get mass effect Andromeda opted in for the Nvidia now streaming service? It's the only way is folks with lower end PCs can play it.
