  @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

  @Captain_Haruno @Spartan_Eden Exactly the issue. Again Mass Effect books weren't required reading. Halo was just money grubbing

  @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.

  @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.

  th funniest thing about EA is that they don't like money, apparently. for all their want and need of a live service game, they never considered that a mass effect live service based on me3's multiplayer would sell tons?

  @AshenOne_VI Biggest issue the game has? It turned Dragon Age into Mass Effect. Thats not what the game was for 3 games, why change it on a 4th?

  @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.

  @Geo_AW @masseffect 2 Boss in the Collector Base. problem is this generation of purple haired freaks can't create a unique boss fight. Atleast the freaks from 15-30 year ago could make good games. Now it is "see what others did and steal their creative IP

  @HaIoFox I had that issue because I liked a certain post regarding Mass Effect. The poster messaged me saying it was gross that Liara and another character would kiss. Then they blocked me like a ***** lol

  So far my problem with the game is that somehow I still don't feel like I am playing a mass effect game, it just has a totally different feel to it that I find it hard to get used to 😭

  BarkBarkWoof (@EruseaRise) reported 19 minutes ago

  @cerealsthatkill @DanFriedman81 Woke is why you got to that point. If someone said that they wanted to show you a sleazy underworld bar on the edge of the galaxy, what would you expect to see there? Mass Effect 2 had alien space strippers. So who on Starfield decided that the sleezy space bar would have flabby male dancers in gross spandex onesies with florp hats? Who made this call and how did they get hired? 1. Are you really telling me that’s the best they could do? 2. Why hire someone like that in the first place? 3. Why did no one stop them from making something so lame? This demonstrates that the hiring process was corrupted, and that there was no longer a functioning management system capable or willing to make important creative decisions. Because we see a huge problem in that people were making decisions they shouldn’t have made, and there was no one stopping them from doing it! You cannot simply chalk these things up to some failure of management because these were studios that used to know how to deliver record shattering games.

  @DestinLegarie As someone who doesn’t like FPS,I love Gears, mass effect etc. I like the witcher and not skyrim or oblivion and I like gta. Many ppl are like this. I like halo’s history and doom’s gore and looks, but can’t stomach the fps. That said, I think gamepass was the problem with doom.

  @MountKrushmore @DAKKADAKKA1 Yeah remember what the hell happened to mass effect Andromeda what it launch with technical issues and glitches and anthem was rushed to launch filled with crying Devlopers over the stress they put in over BioWare magic that doesn't exist

  Gefyrios (@fenerliyan) reported 23 minutes ago

  @Exorius84 @Pirat_Nation That's true but it's an industry issue. I would say Mass Effect and Dragon Age are not just any IPs. They still have huge fan bases and appeal and Bioware exists only as a container for these IPs. Otherwise nobody would be interested in Bioware at all.

  @vicious696 Been playing on the cloud only for the past year, works very well, no need for a console. Main issue, a lot of owned games are either 1 not available or 2 locked behind game pass ultimate example mass effect legeandry edition I own but need ultimate to play.

  @Pirat_Nation Once again modders will fix what the devs try to wreck with these games. Just like when the modders brought back the Miranda buttshot in Mass effect legendary edition. Although that game was far less ****** with than Halo appears to be.

  @HowlingKaya @RespectElves Director doesn't matter as much as the narrative writer. Mass Effect 1 & 2 had the same director but different writer, and it shows. And guess what the big problem post Chris Obsidian games have? Really ****** writing.

  @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.

  Am i overthinking it, or is it odd that Iran would cyberattack the state that is led by Tim Walz and not a hugely populated one for mass effect, and at the same time we were warned that AI had "broken free"? Prolly just overthinking.

  The biggest issue is that the average consumer got into the MCU and it made a gorillion dollars so other companies focus tested the **** out of what the normies actually liked. They then took that information and figured "if we apply this to literally everything we will make tens of gorillions!" Not realizing that not only would this invite the wrong crowd in, it would push out the ones already there who were buying their products. There's a reason modern AAA gaming sucks and it's because normie level MCU enjoyers figured if they liked slop and ironic quickly dialogue with sassy characters that everyone else would. They then proceeded to nuke every franchise they've been a part of with one dimensional characters and sassy girlbosses in a "subversion of the genre/media you're used to" type writing. It's funny when you think about it that there are very few IPs that never fell into this trap and they're doing just fine if not better. Franchises like Gears, Halo, Mass Effect, etc all used to take themselves seriously to some degree. They had writers who cared about telling a story and making a game that was fun to back it up. Now it's live service, accessibility, representation,and a whole host of other dog **** design decisions that took these games from console sellers to the bargain bin on the verge of collapse. The video game industry needs to pop again. Cause right now all my favorite franchises ******* suck and I only enjoy playing either indie games or gacha games like Nikke and GFL2 atm.

  @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!

  @kalaelizabeth I don't want to call them "woke" because thats not the right word and its become a sledgehammer like so many others. Mass Effect and Dragon Age always had societal themes and engaged with social issues ahead of their time (Dragon Age got gay marriage before the U.S.A)

  @nuhre_ From what I saw the problem is they have Mass Effect Andromeda level writing, with characters that won't STFU in combat always having a quirky statement.
