  @RinoTheBouncer @dawiddrzala what about game file size. there's only so much that can be fit on a disc and a disc only utilizes specific data compression formats. mass effect 2&3 tried to solve this by splitting the game on 2 discs but it wasn't as effective as they hoped. the issue is that it will happen

  @WeAreMassEffect Mass Effect Andromeda is a great game and was overshadowed by the launch bugs that were fixed as fast as we could notice. Same reason why Watch Dogs Legion was a fast hype and failure. It was a GREAT game, but worse than MEA, they didn't fix anything and left a lot of bugs...

  @FionaCher12 My issue is that the devs in Bioware expressed clear interest in trying out a remaster for it, and EA told them no. The guys at Mass Effect in fact were the ones to pitch it bc EA had a clear favouritism problem and they were aware of it.

  @WeAreMassEffect Mass Effect 2 is a massive step back and responsible for the narrative problems presented in 3

  @Housemarque Fix the HDR in the next patch. Also do a fix for the story like Mass Effect had to do.

  @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.

  i know it’s a mass effect thing and quickly the story gets out of control but please let’s not add unnecessary stress to our portion of the fandom. we are on the same side or at least we should be enough senseless discourse in fandom spaces. save it for ACTUAL important issues

  This was always my big issue with getting into Mass Effect. It has such a vast universe with so many different aliens and cultures who all have different views and hopes for the future, and all I get to be is either a "good" Space Cop or a bad one

  @theonewhoistobe @mrpyo1 No it did not I would have games released in a finished state rather than games launch in a buggy broken and unfinished state like battlefield 2042,the Lord of the rings golem, redfall Mindseye anthem, mass effect andromeda, concord, ssktjl marvel avengers fallout 76, and any games that launch with technical issues. And I agree with yongyea here

  @ItsKiraWorld @RescuerPrincess Let's be real, they did screw up her face a bit, but not everyone can be Keanu Reaves in Cyberpunk 2077. The issue with her character model is, and I don't know how to put it gently... it looks like it's rendered in Mass Effect Andromeda and her face is tired.

  Exodus removing character customization feels like such an unnecessary rake to step on. Mass Effect has an iconic default protagonist look for Shepard, but still has options to customize and change his/her look to the player's liking. Such an unforced error

  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

  @MeatBunFTW @RinoTheBouncer Outer Worlds was a fun, more dialog heavy Mass Effect. The problem is that the dialog was very HEAVY.

  @OmegaAshura @BriskittyThe3rd @D1AndOnlyGage and mass effect had gays and bi hmmm thats funny its almost like the gay was never the problem. the problom with woke game sence 2016 was not that it had gays its was story being put last. just because its gay does not make it better. take it from some one who is gay.

  quaver: difficulty rating makes no sense to me at all avp: aliens feel useless, story sucks halo franchise: enemies play completely differently but the lore and dialogue doesnt back it up well, mass effect has the reverse problem lobotomy corp: word choice +

  @BobWhencer @wwarrior_1 But what I mean is that the cringe stuff “” was not the problem with this game? The problem was that EA got too much control because they were like hey, you have a limited budget and then they’re like **** you we’re calling you’re the mass effect team. To rewrite everything.

  Mf i got an unopened copy of mass effect legendary edition for 10 bucks for my xbone Halo MCC goes on sale regularly for 10 bucks, 6 games, pve, mp, AND pc modding for 10 bucks Fallout and Elderscrolls regularly go on sale Thats a skill issue

  Tray (@TravinSimmonds) reported 42 minutes ago

  @Tectone Exactly. It seems the main problem with GoW is that they are using the wrong franchise. Its like when Mass Effect tried Andromeda without Shepard. I still liked the game as its own game, but I wasn't nearly as invested in it as I was with the trilogy.

  @spaceshark23 @minkaodysseus @SimiaAlpha I need some solid advice Mass Effect Andromeda is on sale for 7.99 and I can get it a lil cheaper using xbox points. Should I get it?? I know Andromeda is a game with a fair bit of issues and woke bullshit sprinkled on top of it but 1/2

  @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?

• 
  Julian II (@JulianHeliosII) reported 47 minutes ago

  @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

  @BobWhencer @wwarrior_1 But they love the mass effect in the eyes of EA Mass Effect team can do no wrong, but the dragon age basically is a giant ******* failure to them because there there was a whole article that came out that explained their history of why dragon age games had so many problems

  @valentinbjs_ If you're looking for the same experience as the original trilogy, you'll be a bit disappointed. The game is Mass Effect at its heart, but it feels much different than the trilogy. It's not an amazing game, I have some issues with it. But overall, good game that is worth playing

  @ZeDoctorBlur Dean takahashi, he also didn't know how to level up his character in mass effect and was terrible at doom eternal, all of which he criticized for his own skill issue

  又 (@travisleelilley) reported 51 minutes ago

  @Nick_White_AOS I tried so hard to like Veilguard and Andromeda had mad potential if they didnt force the live service crap. The reason why Kotor and Mass Effect 1 stand the test of time is because thats when Bioware did what THEY wanted and weren't studio slaves

  There’s really no issue here they have collaborated with other mature franchises such as Mass Effect and Fallout

  FYREDEUS (@fyredeus) reported 57 minutes ago

  @TonyadeVitti In the Mass Effect games the galactic Council solves that problem by forbidding A.I. but instead allowing "V.I."s - Virtual Intelligences that know EVERYTHING in a narrow specialization but nothing beyond that; a travel V.I. knows ONLY travel, translator V.I. ONLY languages etc.

• 
  Strokavich Okametal (ストロキャビッチ） (@Strokavich) reported 60 minutes ago

  @HossMatch Mass Effect has a good fix to this. Everyone is just using a universal translator that converts their language into the language that race understands. It also has some interesting oversights as well, like how the Elcor don't actually use a verbal language, but rely on body language and pheromones, so the translator makes them sound monotone with no emotion or inflections at all. Then there are some words that don't get translated as they don't have a comparison or the translation would be a whole sentence for a word or something, like when Tali says Keelah se'lai.

  Ai (@AiShireTory) reported 60 minutes ago

  @AcademicAgent_X Biggest problem with KOTOR is its turn base system, doesn’t fit the flow of Star Wars combat. Look at Mass effect same people similar design but without the turn base system.

  @LauraFlowD Hey now, right before i hit “post” I moved the TL;DR up from the very bottom of the post to the top! Surely that was a public service I also miss Mass Effect
