  @KenteMana @SwervoT3k @bioware the problem with DAO getting a remaster/remake IIRC is that there is almost nobody left at BioWare who knows how the game engine runs, so a remaster is almost impossible, and a remake is unlikely until at least Mass Effect 5 gets out the door just b/c of resource priority

  @DanVMaul Halo Reach & Gears 3 were the only 1st party games. Mass Effect 2 was timed. Witcher 2 was exclusive by happenstance But you just showed that Xbox was relying heavily on 3rd party exclusives which was the problem & dwindled as time went on

  @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.

  @aaronmail1994 Can you give an example? Most of the time it's bugs causing issues, but they end up getting fixed with an update. I’ve been on PC for 2 or 3 years now, and the only issue I’ve had was a bug in Mass Effect 1 that I found a workaround for. Most of the time I just install and play.

  @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....*

  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.

  Evil Villain (@EveryCarpet) reported 28 minutes ago

  @WeAreMassEffect Excellent science-fantasy but not excellent sci-fi. Anything other than Destroy is the Reapers throwing **** at the wall in a last-ditch effort and actually succeeding in deceiving Shephard. Everything 'wrong' with the story of ME3 actually started with ME2 when Bioware catered to Fox in cutting down the ****** alongside killing off and resurrecting Shepherd in the first 5 minutes of the game (!!!). Story of ME2 was ***. The Collectors should have been an arc or plotline but not the entirety of the game. You can 100% have the Systems Alliance send Shepherd out to find more data on the Reapers, who then ends up fighting Batarians, criminals, xenophobes, the Terminus Systems, AND the Collectors. Andromeda actually had insane potential but Bioware ****** up by not hiring me as their lead writer and producer. Fighting the not-Collectors with an Asari archaeologist and Krogan mercenary while trying to save Humanity & Co. is not good enough of a plotline. Cerberus should've sacked the Elusive Man the moment he was indoctrinated. ridiculous. ME4 needs to take place after a Destroy ending where: 1. with the destruction of the Relays, long-distance, immediate FTL travel is impossible. 2. with the general destruction that the Reapers caused-- 99% of all life in the galaxy, essentially, and their corresponding civilizations and industrial base-- ME4 needs to either take place 100-200 years after the events of ME3 or be a survival-horror 'RPG' 3. If ME4 takes place a ~hundred years after the events of ME3, then having the option of being Liara's offspring (and explicitly confirmed if you romanced Liara). if not, then all other species ought to be available 4. the vast majority of Turians and Quarians stuck in the Sol System after the destroy ending would end up starving to death because 5σ of the galaxy's industry and population has been destroyed and they cannot eat 'normal' foodstuffs 4a. the vast majority of Turians and Quarians in any fleet that is not predominantly of their own species ought to starve to death due to the lacking of their specific foodstuffs 4b. the vast majority of the survivors of the Reapers (<1% of galpop) ought to starve, dehydrate, or otherwise die to raiders or other starving, sick people. simply not enough resources to go around in the post-apocalypse 5. if you chose to fix the Genophage, the Krogans have to be THE singular dominant power in what was Citadel space. if not, there should only be one or two total in the entirety of the game as their species goes extinct 5a if the Krogan are led by Wrex, then the Krogan in general would be part of the Citadel's Council alongside Humanity 5b if the Krogan are led by Wreav, then the Krogan in general would not be part of the Citadel, drastically weakening it for the plot of the game alongside granting a quest where you have to 'recruit' the Krogan or at least get them to sign a pact of non-aggression/interference 6. the Egalitarian, Xenophilic polity that would eventually emerge at Sol would become the capital of the New Citadel-- mostly because they have the highest population and the most salvage in their system 7. the enemy for the first non-survival of the post-apocalyptic horror entry in Mass Effect ought to be a resurgent Terminus Systems. they have no ******* idea where the Reapers came from or how to beat them-- only learning that they're tied to Citadel space.

  @DanticsOfficial I think this is fine in shorter games but I have to be honest, if I was locked into a playstyle in cyberpunk at hour 50 and I knew I was only halfway through the ******* game and I was hating it, that'd be a problem. I'm saying this is a huge Mass Effect fan.

  I’m gonna ruin the fun with facts again. This isn’t new. It’s already been used successfully in multiple countries. Programs like Google’s Verily project release male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria. Think of it like the Genophage from Mass Effect. The males don’t bite, don’t spread disease, and basically spend their entire lives trying to get laid (literally me). When they mate with wild females (unlike you), the eggs fail to hatch. Fewer mosquitoes get born, mosquito populations crash, and disease transmission drops with them. Field trials have repeatedly shown 70 to 90%+ reductions in local mosquito populations, along with major decreases in diseases like dengue. It’s a targeted biological control method that’s already been deployed at scale with pretty impressive results. If you’re asking why a gear account is telling you this? Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong

  -sticking to any kind of plan. Dark energy, the Cerberus plotline, so many little things were clearly planned and then dropped. You then had the Mass Effect 3 issue where two particular figures wanted the Shepard of ME3 to be their image of Shepard, not the players.

  @ChShersh Survivorship bias may be at work here, you probably don't play or think about the completely broken games. (Remember that one Mass Effect game?) Also, games are art and what is considered broken or not is fuzzy, often when there are bugs they become part of the game because they are fun.

I played as him for 150+ hours. That meant something to me. Only to not see him in Valhalla DLC. Mass effect did that.

  @WeAreMassEffect Mass Effect Andromeda is way over hated. It’s a good games that was designed with sequels in mind. EA is and will always be the problem when it comes to BioWare games. BioWare could have easily fixed up issues and added content if EA weren’t cowards.

  Rick O'Shay (@shay_o66668) reported 51 minutes ago

  @luskybe @DanticsOfficial Tim hijacking the role of the main villain feels completely contrived. And having service be the main enemy is contrary to what all the marketing showed. All the marketing showed us fighting Reaper forces. They didn't show us fighting Cerberus troops. Cerberus was established in the previous game to be an untrustworthy but important Ally. Mass Effect 3 was supposed to show us all putting our differences aside and fight a much larger mutual enemy. Instead we have 18 missions fighting Cerberus and only 11 fighting the Reapers, and fighting the Geth for five missions. And if Cerberus was brought in to diversify the enemy forces, well, the Reapers could have easily done that they intermixed the reaper units with the collector units.

  Knight(Fate)1029384756 (@Knight10293847) reported 58 minutes ago

  My first gut instinct is to agree because yeah. Mass Effect doesn't need a canon ending and it should by all mean respect what the players have done and explore those consequences to their natural conclusions. What the rachni choice should have been is exactly that. If you killed the rachni they shouldn't have showed up at all in ME3. Imagine hearing from a friend who killed the rachni and them saying "I didn't get that mission. Like I saw Grunt and we fought Reapers but the rachni didn't exist in my game. I killed them." And just being struck by how that decision not only makes the renegade choice correct (in a way) but also such a vast difference. An entire enemy type and race just doesn't have influence at all in the game. But that didn't happen. What happened is the rachni game back regardless and the only difference was if you paragon'd you paragon'd again to get war assets. If you renegaded you renegaded again to not loss war assets. Something that does have an effect but its not what the player expects on a bare bones basic or even what they wildly might think. And that is the issue with the ending choices of Mass Effect. The promise such divergent stories that can't simply be crunched into a similar path. There will just be fundamentally different conflicts and issues with each one of them. This video does suggest they just do what Mass Effect has always done but that is accepting a comprise instead of expecting what it should natural be. Not having different assignments to show that "Hey there are differences?" But genuine world differences. Synthesis is described where conflict isn't really a factor anymore. Where everyone knows what its like to be someone else. That story, that exploration of the themes would result in a much less action oriented game and more something like Disco Elysium where the central conversation is about what this life is like. Control is likewise a very different kind of conflict where smaller scale wars could happen. But galactic conflicts just won't exist. Something like a Krogan Civil War is just unlikely to happen with a Shepard controlling the Reapers. Where they could easily stomp down on any major conflict. And not only that but things like diseases, medically issues and similar things would nearly be erased. Maybe there is a story where Shepard becomes a tyrant and rules over organics as an AI god but I don't think many could see their Shepard doing that and I don't think BioWare could see Shepard doing that. Destroy likewise would just be about reconnecting the galaxy together and would be the one most similar to the setting before the Crucible. And all of this isn't even accounting for honoring other player choices. I mentioned it a bit with the Krogan Civil War hinted at in a N7 teaser but there is literally no way a Krogan Civil War can realistically exist in a Synthesis ending or a Control Ending. Not in the way the art depicts. Like I can not accept that if the quarians are dead in one playthrough that BioWare just goes. JK they live and the only difference is a mission. No, it should feel like a real loss. Something was fundamentally changed between a version of them living and a version of them dead. Because that is the promise of importing choices. A major decision was made and you will see how that plays out to its fullest. Not half, not a quarter but seeing it realized. The same feeling you get in a D&D session where a major choice you made comes back and makes you realize it would have been different if you made a different choice. I know for a fact that if BioWare does crunch the endings and the only difference is different side quests, I and other fans would be upset. Because that isn't what I wanted. The solution for BioWare is two fold. The hard path and the easy path. The first is they just buckle down make three games and honor the choices made in each game. Not saying Synthesis should be Disco Elysium but Mass Effect but its the one that makes the most sense in my head. But something that fully explores the ramifications of having this union between synthetics and organics. Same with Control and same with Destory. The second path is just canonize an ending. Its the easiest way because they can focus their efforts on story of the game instead of making a game that is literally about showing the player their choices and making the game before 2040. I think they should also canonize the Genophage, and quarian and geth choices because I know for a fact that if they don't it will be real sad seeing the only differences being less krogan, quarians and geth. And this isn't even considering the fact that the Krogan Civil War just won't happen at the scale shown in the artwork if Wreav is in charge, Eve is dead, and the Genophage isn't cured. Sorry but the krogan would just die out. Because the expectation of that combination of choices would be the krogan's extinction. Its how the games have framed it since the beginning and to alter that would introduce internal inconsistency. I hope this shows why this will be so difficult for BioWare but also why literally no other RPG studio has done it to this scale. What BioWare did with ME1 to 3 and DAO to DAI is astounding. Truly more than what I have seen. Because CDPR fumbled that and gave up with Witcher 3. Small example being Thaler is alive no matter what. And big example is that the dragon state you helped create alongside helping the Scoia'tael in the prior games just does nothing. No mention of it and not even the bare bones of them coming to help Geralt at Kaer Morhen. Obsidian did it fine enough but they just didn't do that with Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed. Larian? What about Larian? Larian has set each of their Divinity games 100s of years apart from each other just so they don't have to address it and on top of that they just are inconsistent. Only caring recently because they made it bigger. And don't even get me started with BG3. I know Wizards has already canonized events but what was with Viconia and Saervok? Just random guys with their names attached. Not even canonized endings just completely different people. Casey Hudson did an interview with Game Informer about this and he is right when he says this has to be planned out. So, many of these companions did these as features because BioWare did it because BioWare controlled what was supposed to be in an RPG. But as that feature waned without BioWare pushing it these other developers slowly removed it. Because its ******* hard to do. Great rewards if done right. A true feeling of your character existing in the world and having an effect long after it happened but a mountainous path it is. Again I want the hard path. BioWare. I'll wait man. Make three games and honor the choices of each of them. But as this video says its also about the money. And there isn't any reality where EA goes "Yeah, we can about 5 years with each release and for each of those games to be very different. Go head."

  @BasedChar_RE The problem for Mass Effect is that the ending to 3 is such an ending that you can’t go forward without addressing it, and Andromeda tried the reasonable concept of avoiding it. However, BioWare screwed it up from story to just making sure the game worked.
