  @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

  So I saw the comments from the director about Andromeda, and I have to admit, he has some points. I played Starfield for 2 hours and then played, and best Mass Effect Andromeda rather than finish that. Andromeda has its problems, but at least its not Starfield.

  @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'.

  @DanticsOfficial It wasn’t a bad game but it wasn’t good either Problem is they tried to move away from Sheppard but not enough from Mass Effect. The story/scenario is roughly the same but name swapped to another galaxy That give the impression of a bad OG copy instead of a new game of its own

  @HariSel57511397 I hard disagree, Mass effect 2 is a perfect bottle episode where they focus on worldbuilding and its characters, it has the best cast of crewmates by far, the issue is simply 1) there should have been 4 games. 2) Mass effect 3 wasted too much time

  @CraigHarris456 @Silverbolt_1985 @ashestoashleys Cerberus in ME1 and ME2 may as well be two different organizations and that's the problem. I played a paragon Shep, he was not cool with working with Cerberus and they give you so little agency to voice that. Doesn't feel Mass Effect-y

  @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.

  @ElkenrodKarmic @tekarino @QuiteShallow Broski you brought up Mass Effect Andromeda. I was simply bringing up other examples. As for Taash, as i said in my other comment. I have problems with their writing but i disagree that they're terrible

  @glowieboiz Morrowind. Mass effect just set up heaps of cool ideas and asked some interesting questions and then either did nothing with them or had the gayest possible resolutions. Which seems to be a massive problem with all modern media. Morrowind had a tolkinesque lore when you look.

  @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)

  See I don't even have an attachment to mass effect but this can't be right and is the problem why are we making adaptation of a video game but you want it to appeal to people who don't play games then WHY ADAPT A VIDEO GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE MAKE THE ADAPT. FOR THE FANS

  @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.

  @brockpierson Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim or Morrowind or Oblivion, Mass Effect Legendary, Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077. The issue with doing it 12 hours a day if an MMO would be downtime due to maintenance!

  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-

  @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.

  Amazon is ordering major script rewrites for the Mass Effect TV series. They want to modernize it. It’s the same old story where a studio takes a loved universe and starts hacking away at it because they think they know better than the source material. I want to enjoy a space opera without a lecture. Especially one where I’m not wondering if the writers even liked the original game or if they’re just trying to "fix" something that wasn't broken. Usually, when a show gets ordered to undergo massive rewrites to make it more accessible or modern, it just means they're stripping out the soul and the grit that made people care in the first place. Amazon has a habit of doing this to established franchises. We’re likely in for another project that values a message over the actual craftsmanship of the world. Expect the worst.

  @nuhre_ I'd argue Shepard is the least important part of mass effect, in none of the games I was ever excited to get more of Shepard, the character is a blank slate. The setting is rich with possibilities for new narratives, the problem is that bioware have been terrible for 10 years.

  @MythicMgames I love the Mass Effect Trilogy. I preordered the digital deluxe version of Andromeda. I have yet to finish that game. Every time I try to play through it, I stop around the 50% complete mark. The game is boring. People will whine about graphics and glitches, but the game is boring. The enemies are basically space dark spawn (and its not as cool as it sounds.), the boss battles are almost all the same, there is very few major choices... I could go on and on about how lack luster and bad Andromeda is, but the headline is that Andromeda is boring. Thats its main problem. And it has a bunch of problems.

  @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?

  Bob Marshall (@isrven1) reported 41 minutes ago

  @nuhre_ The issue is whether Bioware have any writers capable of the type of story and dialoge that was in Mass Effect 1 through 3 and excluding the woke nonsense. I don't believe they do, but we'll see

  @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.

  @JamieMoranUK With how bad tv has been for the last decade I never intended to watch it in the first place and I’m perfectly happy to watch the show crash and burn if they refuse to appeal to Mass Effect fans.

  @LavenderGhast I love Mass Effect, but there are 2 problems with the writing: numbers are vague, and you can't be too mean to the player. You can kinda tell they didn't really know how long ago they wanted the first contact war to be from the way Ashley and Presley talk about it.

  @SomeWeebDude Oh gosh... That's a real tough one. There's been quite a few over the years. Mass Effect 2/3, Crash Bandicoot Warped, Kirby's Adventure, BF1... Not sure I could pick a favorite.

  People just need to accept when their stuff just isn’t very good at its core. I didn’t find the gameplay to be the issue with Andromeda, though it could have done with better level design. It was the writing, and many people play Mass Effect for the writing. The plot felt boring to go through and lacked the gravitas that the original Mass Effect had. Things happened, but never did I really think they mattered all that much. That is very much due to the party members, who didn’t feel all that distinctive at all from on another or were just so forgettable beyond their shared snark that I just tuned them out after a while. The dialogue choices themselves lacked any weight because most of the time you just said the same thing, but either as a jerk or a nice person. That makes choosing dialogue a chore, not something you really have to think about. The combat was pretty good though, I’ll give it that, though rather than letting us switch to all classes I’d rather they have much more robust class systems with deeper skills and specializations. That creates much more unique scenarios per playthrough rather than just swapping to whatever at any point in the game. Recognize your faults when people point them out. Dismissing those criticizing it at “chuds” is such a cope you just sound pathetic.

  Star Wars Timeline (Ben) 🇷🇺🇺🇸 (@SWT_Channel) reported 54 minutes ago

  My first issue was calling it a Mass Effect game. If they called it "College Diaries in Space" or anything else, the fan reception wouldn't have justly burdained it with the franchise's expectations. BioWare and EA's disastrous experiments with full scale planets floped, the project ran aimless for years, and all veterans were replaced by college interns on their FLAGSHIP franchise. It's one retarded decision after the other that spelled doom for Andromeda.

  @kalaelizabeth I don't really see the problem. A lot of these games are citing inspiration from mass effect and this one is being headed by former bioware employees. It's like complaining that a videogame was called a souls-like when it cites dark souls as a direct inspiration
