  @nuhre_ every mass effect game is a buggy mess until they fix it and the trilogy still has bugs from years ago...and what makes the story boring? How are the characters terrible?

  @Sebbywebz My big issue with the ending is the hard cut from everyone running out of the northern crater to the indeterminate time later scene. It very much came off like if mass effect 2 suddenly spliced in the stills from the extended cut of me3 when Shepard jumps to the Normandy.

  Nope. Skyrim is my first and only Elder Scrolls game and I played it back when it first released on Xbox 360. I wasn't familiar with RPG's either at the time with only Demons Souls and Mass Effect the games I played previously. Took a second but I got through it with no issues.

  @Cloveruu98 @WeAreMassEffect i believe that it was. i played it post all the patches, i really didnt experience all the broken-ness people did on release. despite the game being mostly bug free, the mass effect formula just wasnt properly adapted to an open world formula, game got boring kinda fast.

  @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.

  An example, you could look at the buggy mess that was Mass Effect Andromeda and go "yeah this game isnt finished" but you would not be a good reference point for how the economy and triggers were broken like myself who hate played 100+ hours of the game to prove a point.

  @DynamoSuperX Hmm.. the only problem is, this is sounding like Mass Effect. It would need to be done right..

  @nygma0451 In some story and character aspects, sure. But overall, it is a better game. Dragon Age suffers from the same issues that mass effect did. In that ea had bioware make a game more focused on companions and their stories. And as da series went on, that became the bigger focus.

  @KKalvaitis Mass Effect 2's writing team more or less said "hey, what if we made even more excellent squad members and flesh out/fix Cerberus in a really interesting way, oh and then just write a bunch of dogshit for the main plot." Great pieces, horrible whole.

  @BozackDakilla @vrilliumlive Artillery, Rockets, Cruise Missiles, and Ballistic Missiles are designed for mass effect, not the deliberate targeting of a single soldier. They are impersonal; drones are personal. That's the issue.

  @HariSel57511397 Wrong. Mass Effect 2 is peak ME. The only problem is it is where Mass Effect watered down the class/skill system to become more palatable to normies.

  @TheExpanseRPG Your fundamental use of it is the problem and a direct slap in the face of every single artist Gen AI steals from to churn out the content you use it for. I’ll stick to games that actually respect artists. Good luck with your Temu Mass Effect though. 💁🏻

  @LNamarcil @travis2504 @DeathMetalV The million other problems are related to the terrible developers who are woke and unloved. Bioware had non woke staff for mass effect 2. Til 2012 The Bioware after that got super woke and went super broke It's you lol

  Chris (Man Who Games) (@AlternateUrge) reported 37 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)

  Kevin (@themoralskeptic) reported 40 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.

  To any other Mass Effect streamers, I am having a problem on Mass Effect 3 where whenever I am in a conversation the audio becomes so muted that it becomes impossible to hear. All other sound is nice and clear, it is only in conversations. Anyone got a fix? I am using Streamlabs as my streaming software.

  @phaseknight_ I want to, but the driving section in mass effect 1 rot my Brain. Great, another mountain to glitch onto for +1 iron...

  Dating Garrus in Mass Effect is literally try not to crash out challenge. Bro has been calibrating and doing research for 5 years now please just let me in 😔

  @goneguy25 @Swurv__ There are several games that were broken at launch and are not glazed. The Day Before, Mass Effect Andromeda, Redfall, Gollum, and Daikatana.

  @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.

  Quesomodo (@TheQuesomodo) reported 46 minutes ago

  @ABasicAlt @kalaelizabeth Because if they crash and burn with a new IP, the Mass Effect title still has value to sell off. I am well aware they are working on the Next Mass Effect game, and I really hope that it won't be awful... but hope in one hand....

  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.

  @HeavensFirstMan As many others have pointed out, Minecraft isn't a game just for kids, and it's already had several "Mature" game crossovers before, such as Dead Space, Halo, Mass Effect, Call of Duty, etc. For that reason i don't see an issue. That said, these skins look genuinely bad.

  @spiral_archtct @Pirat_Nation The writing was really bad, but we can't ignore the technical issues. They were absolutely terrible at launch, like No Man's Sky or Cyberpunk. The only difference is that Mass Effect Andromeda never got its player base back, probably because of the writing.

• 
  spiralarchitect (@spiral_archtct) reported 52 minutes ago

  @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.

  @malanorea @BimbleWizard In Mass Effect one? Yeah, okay. It's a skill issue that the sniper rifle was so poorly programmed that the bullet literally teleports behind the target. Was fixed in Mass Effect 2.

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

  I generally don't have a laundry list of criticisms about Bioware RPGs, I just usually recognize their flaws and it's frustrating to have to point these flaws out when people try and make out DATV as something unusual. A lot of the issues people have with Mass Effect 2-

  I got into Mass Effect not too long ago and now I’m about to witness it crash and burn again

  @takasiraVT I think the issue is Nintendo. They won't take chances anymore. Imagine a Star Fox that was like Mass Effect: third person shooter, with swappable crew, OPEN space combat, an RPG system, currency. But no. We'll get another rail shooter, and just be happy we got anything
