  @femshep_com @nib95_ But you are talking about a particular case (female Shepard). I'm talking in general. Totally different things. Just because few people had issues with it (Mass Effect case), doesn't mean that there's a general hate towards female protags, because there is not.

  @Knights_Path Thinking some more, when the player asks a question you have a problem to solve: The player idle while asking a question looks blank Mass Effect solved it through a close up shot here and there, obscuring the body so you can't see Shepherd's hands Baldur's Gate had transition anims between lines from pose w/ anim to pose w/ anim, which kept the silent protagonist of the dialogue engaging You should choose one of these, or a mix of both, to keep the character from feeling plastic. The speaker need not have this because they are generally receiving queries and questions from the speaker, but stance changes are crucial for the target speaker

  The term "Open weight self hosted AI" is quite misleading. The weights of an LLM are a massive set of numbers which no human and no software can explain or clarify. In a very real sense the weights are not OPEN because no human or machine can read the weights and understand / describe what they mean. This is totally unlike "open source code" which can be understood. For all we know, the weights of an "Open weight LLM" contain hidden malicious errors, analogous to the error "Legion" used to destroy the Geth who were supporting the Reapers in Mass Effect 2. "Open weight LLMs" are fundamentally inscrutable.

  @tokyosdaughter hmmmm this is a bit of a take where i can have mixed feelings much as i dislike woke and DEI and all that shi. Didn't mass effect / kotor followed a similar pattern? it was ok issue should be indoctrination ig but art and design different have always existed, not a fan tho

  @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.

  @Polygon It's completely disingenuous to paint critics as bigoted right-wingers. people upset have no problem with female protagonists. This claim is demonstrably false. look at Horizon and Tomb Raider. people are just sick and tired of the cultural/social engineering. studios ruin everything. Mass Effect with Andromeda, They ruined the Star wars franchise, Amazon ruined The Lord of the Rings. The Odyssey is making the Greek characters black. No one wants to be preached at (like you did in this article). if you create a compelling world with a female protagonist no one's going to care and everyone will enjoy playing it. just leave the things we love alone.

  @ShouVertica @MikeyNohMore All Starfield had to do was try not to be NMS. They should have kept it tight, 2-3 star systems at most. But the bigger issue is that many of us expected Bethesda's take on Mass Effect. Instead we got Fallout 4 in space because Emil Pagliarulo is a talentless hack.

  @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 😭

  @hg17_daisuki I used to run Veilguard on my old PC it had both an SSD and an HDD and games would lag because Windows was running slowly in the background. Veilguard wasn’t the only issue, though; I was especially into mods, but they took up a lot of space. The mods I downloaded for Mass Effect took up nearly 20 GB in total. Now, since my new system doesn’t have an HDD, I can’t download many mods.

  @Redesestelares What's wrong with having female characters? Like Mass Effect has both and the female voice actress does a much better job. It just sounds like you just have a problem with women.

  An analyst told CNBC EA might have to sell IP to service its buyout debt. Four days later, BioWare showed up in exactly that sentence. > Aug 2: CNBC quotes an analyst on the $55B EA buyout - "I don't know how EA is going to service this debt without... studio closures, and possibly IP sell-off" > the buyout added $18-20B in new debt to the balance sheet, confirmed across multiple reports this week > Aug 6: EA is reportedly looking to sell BioWare and other IPs specifically to pay that debt down > EA has not confirmed or denied it - the studio that made Mass Effect and Dragon Age is now a line item in a debt-service plan, not a press release Four days between "here is what selling IP would look like" and BioWare's name landing in that exact sentence is not a leak. It is a timeline. What is next on that list?

  The problem is a studio or even an “established IP” means nothing without the actual talent behind it As much as I love BioWare and the Mass Effect universe, It would be a massive undertaking to bring it back to the level we were used to before. Still I will keep hope.

  @Aurelian_27 Yup, but they need to be exclusive. Releasing on Playstation hurts their brand. They've had the hardest times since 360 quality exclusives and even then most of the like Bioshock and Mass Effect came to PS. But the price for the next consoles will be an issue as well i fear.

  @void_cache @Mangroxian I like to mod games, Mass Effect, Cyberpunk being a few of them, but the sheer amount of mods I download often takes up a good chunk of space, so I transferred them to the external hard drive. I try to mediate this issue by letting the game load in for 5 to 10 minutes, but its-

  @lssjxeno @SabamonsterSR 1. SBI is a bunch of angry feminists, not gamers. They entred a predomenantly male-centric industry loved by both men and women, and started lecturing fans on feminism, race, and diversity. Literally every came connected to their direct influence is a financial disaster. Fans aren't jumping at every opportunity to slur, trash, and cheer the financial flops of ethnic stories/characters. Evidence? From major supporting cast like Barret (FF7), Dudley (SF), or leading cast Spawn (SNES), Jacob (Mass Effect), Shadow Man (PS1) and +10M resounding success of AC: Origins proves majority of gaming nerds are receptive and open minded people who root for good games. Race isn't the issue, quality always is.

  @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.

  @kalaelizabeth I think that's definitely true right after Dragon Age Origins. (And you can argue the same for Mass Effect to a certain extent even with 2 though that game was close to being as good as the first.) 2 was a noble but broken attempt thay some people a lot of love and worth in

  It really does suck that in Mass Effect: Evolution it is marketed as "First Contact War Shown" and its ends so quickly its genuinely baffling. And not only that but the Illusive Man just goes to Illium like its no problem. First human on an alien world and no one cares. The other comics are much better but why did they introduce the Illusive Man like this? Sure show him in the First Contact war but don't make it seem like its about the conflict and also just let time pass so the next event makes more sense. Also having Saren encounter the Reapers this early is weird when he encounters them for what I presumed was the first time.

  @wesleytypes @DawnwalkerGame @RebelWolvesDevs Do you even comprehend how annoying it is to write a whole trilogy like this, or the numerous problems it caused mass effect? You know why they introduced a new solider in 3? Because all the previous ones could be dead. The dumbest people ruin those 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.

  I’m enjoying the game so far but if I were to guess some of the problems people have with mass effect 3 it’s probably that it seems more linear? Like there’s a lot more cover shooter stuff and a bit less rpg stuff not an insane amount I think but it is there

  @ApplefatGov @csaurageul Borrowing the color palette of Gears of War, or cover based shooting mechanics into genres it didn't belong like Mass Effect or even Uncharted (or a dozen other games) caused problems for a long time. But that doesn't say anything about the games where they worked.
