  Tiny Tinas Wonderlands is officially done! I started Mass Effect today and was disappointed that I couldn't recreate my original Shepard due to hair colour issues. So I had to make do with having an entirely new one. #Vtuber #ENVtuber #VTuberUprising

  @TNEQL @pcgamer Speaking of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, I think no one would be opposed to that thing being remastered, though such a venture would definitely need the Steamworks API instead of the half-broken EA backend.

  @SnapBlastPLAY Yes it did. As a long Mass Effect fan they ruined the game for me and using the frostbite engine to cut cost was a bad idea the game looked awful should have used unreal engine like previous Mass Effect games cause the main issue with Andromeda is graphics and animation.

  “Busy workin” is not an update. It’s what studios say when they need players to stay calm while they figure out whether the next thing is actually coherent. Mass Effect doesn’t have a lore problem. BioWare has a trust problem. Silence stops feeling strategic when the last few years went the way they did.

  @RobertAnim8er Mass effect andromeda collector's edition. The game was broken plus the dev team stood by a developer who posted about how much he hates white people and that they should die. Standing with hateful people like that is disgusting and bioware can **** off

  @Benito_Llan @marewho12 Mass Effect used the excuse of losing contact with a privately funded expedition, although it came with its own problems (somehow unnoticed by FTL-capable humanity despite being around *Alpha Centauri*, and discovered by aliens despite, again, being around Alpha Centauri)

  @KaiKai2492 Tbf, games have tried to implement the squad/command system (Brothers in Arms, Mass Effect). A core issue has always been 'why spend time ordering AI when I can just shoot them myself'.

  @justbrowsintidy @maxdeploy @WeAreMassEffect Except it was good. My personal take is if people think it sucked actually don’t understand Mass Effect as a whole. And yes there were a large vocal group who whinged there was no Shepard. The problem largely came with EA doing what EA does best and that’s being total ********.

  had to end stream short today bc my stomach issue flared up again. :( at least i got to finish mass effect 1 (again)!

  @nuhre_ The problem with a long running series where "choices matter" is that eventually the game will just buckle under the weight of all the different options. Same thing happened with Mass Effect.

  @RazorFist Mass Effect 1's only real problem was the combat. The story, atmosphere, dialog, and setting were fantastic. ME2 changed it from an RPG into an action game where you had some skill points. The gameplay was tighter but the story was half-assed and the final boss was a joke.

  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?

  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

  @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.

  Kevin (@themoralskeptic) reported 44 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.

  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

  choosing vanguard instead of infiltrator in #masseffect was a tactical error. Lotta geth

  @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

  @masseffect can you please get EA to fix your game on steam long time fan and hate to see it in this condition

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

  @wrestlejohnjohn @JuiceHead33 Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed 3 times because of Anthem, Mass Effect Andromeda, No Mans Sky, AC Unity, Marvels Avengers, Fallout 76, etc. And its still released broken and unfinished. Now Starfield got delayed 2 Times because of Cyberpunk, Battlefield 2042, etc. @wrestlejohnjohn

  @EAHelp Mass effect legendary achievements still busted on steam. Because of EA app. Is there a fix? Asked about 30 times now.

  @DejavionL75163 @Battlefield @masseffect Valorant requires this. Also The Finals and ARC Raiders in Future. Most gamers haven't even noticed this because Secure Boot is enabled by default in modern systems and is a system requirement for Windows 11 anyway. It's also entirely a "YOU" problem.

  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.

  @reddrakonmo I don’t think shep not being in andremonda was really the problem, it was mainly everything outside of combat at most being mediocre. Andremonda did feed into the idea that Shepard is Mass Effect which is why your seeing BioWare pivot back to the Milky Way and showing liara.

  @nuhre_ @xenowriter We? Every single fan of Mass Effect does not want the show to be about Shepard because we know it would be a freaking bad idea. Shepard’s journey is 💯% personal to every fan. Andromeda was a good Mass Effect game, the issues were only technical, definitely not about Shepard.
