  @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

  @pixie_girl3 you're entirely missing the point. we don't have trouble with female protagonists. think about Aloy from Horizon, or Laura Croft from Tomb Raider. we're just sick and tired of the cultural engineering. They turn Thor into a woman, ruined the Star wars franchise, same with Amazon and the Lord of the rings TV show. Mass Effect Andromeda killed their franchise as well. gamers just don't want to be preached at. we don't want to be told how we're supposed to think and feel about anything.

  @Slumdog_Milly I have no problem with your take, I simply disagree. If your problem is with the story, fact of the matter is that not every game will give you full narrative freedom. It's like Mass Effect or the Witcher, you get a preset character and get to make some narrative decisions to

  it sounds so silly to wonder if I should get final fantasy 7 or mass effect andromeda lmao but I’m curious on how the mass effect franchise changed and the problems people had with it myself! I could always watched a review for it but it wouldn’t be the same yk?

  @biggieU_U @Henry10113 I absolutely love mass effect, literally one of 3 tattoos I have is from ME, 1 is ******* rough to play, probably the best story but the game play was bad even when it came out, tried and dropped after the big Game Informer issue on it, only went back after playing and loving 2

  Mass Effect Andromeda on Insanity is way harder than I expected, never had any trouble with the original trilogy so was expecting the same with this game but damn. Going to try and stick with it though, but if it reaches a boiling point I have no problem going to normal or easy.

  @kachi_uchay @olusesan__tolu I don’t see the issue. TLOU left behind told us how she discovered she was immune. The Witcher 3 blood and wine did send-off for Geralt. Mass effect 3 expanded upon shepherd. Plus the dlc was Free

  @BethesdaSupport @Fallout @BethesdaStudios Maybe fix Starfield on PS5 while you're at it. What a broken mess. Crashes more any game I've ever played. Mass Effect Andromeda has nothing on this game.

  @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

  The biggest issue is that the average consumer got into the MCU and it made a gorillion dollars so other companies focus tested the **** out of what the normies actually liked. They then took that information and figured "if we apply this to literally everything we will make tens of gorillions!" Not realizing that not only would this invite the wrong crowd in, it would push out the ones already there who were buying their products. There's a reason modern AAA gaming sucks and it's because normie level MCU enjoyers figured if they liked slop and ironic quickly dialogue with sassy characters that everyone else would. They then proceeded to nuke every franchise they've been a part of with one dimensional characters and sassy girlbosses in a "subversion of the genre/media you're used to" type writing. It's funny when you think about it that there are very few IPs that never fell into this trap and they're doing just fine if not better. Franchises like Gears, Halo, Mass Effect, etc all used to take themselves seriously to some degree. They had writers who cared about telling a story and making a game that was fun to back it up. Now it's live service, accessibility, representation,and a whole host of other dog **** design decisions that took these games from console sellers to the bargain bin on the verge of collapse. The video game industry needs to pop again. Cause right now all my favorite franchises ******* suck and I only enjoy playing either indie games or gacha games like Nikke and GFL2 atm.

  Mass Effect 2 is criminally overrated. Good game, but its where everything went wrong. A lot of the problems with ME3 & maybe Andromeda can be traced back to 2. Its also the turning point when BioWare went from a respectable RPG developer, to the vapid AAA game company it is now.

  This just doesn't look good and let me explain. The background looks like it is one thing and the background looks great. The Issue with the characters is this reminds me of Mass Effect Andromeda. the filters and animation done makes the character look 100% not like the mocap or person they did mocap. All of the women characters, for whatever reason intentionally, look like they are bloated in order to put more detail. Ciri looked the same as well. Face bloated to add more detail that makes no sense to me. I don't know if this is because of the engines we use for games and things like that but the reality is that this doesn't look good. Somehow though, the eastern studios have figured it out so us in the west are doing something wrong. That being said, playing as Laufey in a "god of war" title is dumb especially when i thought they were transitioning to a parallel story with Atreus and now the woman than i guess Kratos banged and now is dead so you can guide Kratos and the like on their journey? that's just retarded.

  @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...

  Rick O'Shay (@shay_o66668) reported 27 minutes ago

  @luskybe @DanticsOfficial Tim hijacking the role of the main villain feels completely contrived. And having service be the main enemy is contrary to what all the marketing showed. All the marketing showed us fighting Reaper forces. They didn't show us fighting Cerberus troops. Cerberus was established in the previous game to be an untrustworthy but important Ally. Mass Effect 3 was supposed to show us all putting our differences aside and fight a much larger mutual enemy. Instead we have 18 missions fighting Cerberus and only 11 fighting the Reapers, and fighting the Geth for five missions. And if Cerberus was brought in to diversify the enemy forces, well, the Reapers could have easily done that they intermixed the reaper units with the collector units.

  If it’s an RPG with a choice, I’m picking the guy. Mass Effect, Pokemon, Skyrim, Cyberpunk, etc. I’m never picking a girl. It just feels weird saying “this is my character.” But a game like Stellar Blade, Eve isn’t supposed to be me so I have no problem with it.

  @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.

  @WritersBog @Authw8 People like you must have never used weapon upgrades in Mass Effect 1 or the skills that turns off overheating for like 45 seconds. Skill issue.

  @LordOfTheKink @Dreamboum @TigoODonnell If anything, ME3 makes ME2 better cause it's just one whole part of a grander tale regardless of how the ending went. On its own merits...Mass Effect 2 has got some problems.

  @shinobi602 No problem for me. I personally prefer the default character and the thing that bothered me the most in Mass Effect was that you couldn't change some things about default Shepard like hair, beard and Tattoos/Makeup

  @LordCharizard33 There have been failures similar to this. It is the gaming industry after all. EA/Bioware has had stinkers in the past that failed immediately like Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem though those were not live service like this.

  @Flake_E_Mon @ShitpostRock2 Im not a trekie, so Im not sure, but I bet a executor star destroyer and a mass effect reaper can face a borg cube with little to no problem, which I think are the most imposing ships in the IP. The first one is 6 times larger, the other can one shot the cube with its main cannon

  Romances in Baldur's Gate 3 aren't fundamentally different than Mass Effect from nearly 2 decades ago. BG3 is just a longer game. Still has the same annoying problem of either making a character dislike you or wanting to bang with no inbetween.

  @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.

  @moonchild23580 I don't smoke or drink. Had an alcoholic and chain smoking father. Never want my kids to see anything like that. It was awful. But for me.. I'll get lost in music . Tv.. movies . Or the biggest one video games. Games like Skyrim, fallout 4, starfield or the mass effect series. Those help me a lot with my issues.

  @SicklyTheNinJa My issue with Mass Effect is that the FIRST playthrough of every game is a fantastic time... but then replays are an absolute slog. In fairness, I also feel this about KotOR1. But KotOR2 I still happily come back to every couple years.

  @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.
