  @KenteMana @SwervoT3k @bioware the problem with DAO getting a remaster/remake IIRC is that there is almost nobody left at BioWare who knows how the game engine runs, so a remaster is almost impossible, and a remake is unlikely until at least Mass Effect 5 gets out the door just b/c of resource priority

  I just beat Mass Effect 3 for the first time and I am broken. I have synthesized the galaxy and ensured peace forever but no Shepard makes me sad. Best story in gaming I have played.

  This and Mass effect suffer from the same problem, I think Amazon is turning into Netflix with their new stupid vision (modernized adaptations). The biggest problem is that Amazon has rights to half of the video games currently around and with their vision, I think they will be all doomed 💀

  @TheGingerPerks Both Outer Worlds games are decent. Low quality Mass Effect vibes. The original has more humor than the so serious second game. Avowed is garbage. Pillars is mid. Kotor 2 is broken and half finished. They've never been a AAA studio. Just the hard truth 😕

  @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

  @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.

  I think Quarians are really ignorant and are short sided during Mass Effect 3. The Reapers are the main problem and they can’t see how working with Legion and deprogrammed Geth would help the war. Instead they choose to get destroyed and not work together

  I think Mass Effect 3 has some good stuff, I like some of the the new characters, but I think it's kind of bloated in order to turn it into this BIG AAA game at the time and some of it's issues still sting. Besides the ending.

  @flamingarc I think Mass Effect: Andromeda was only 600 years after the trilogy. Mind you, Andromeda had a myriad of issues, and that time jump is double what we're potential looking at with FW, but it IS possible to have the story set after big player-choice events and not interfere.

  @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

  @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.

  @gielmont This game conflicts me because many parts of it are very well done, but then other parts are just repetitive fetch quests. Mass Effect Andromeda was made using the same engine near the same time, I think, and suffers many of the same problems.

  The last game I tried streaming was Mass Effect and I just could not stay focused. I'm sorry but I got incredibly bored with that game 😭😭 I also considered BG3 but the problem is that I spend more time dilly-dallying than actually progressing 💀

  @AdeIica @Flanz111 @HardwareSteam Bioshock worked. Cyberpunk, Avatar, Mass Effect didn’t work. I didnt feel like testing more games. I’ll just wait until they update it and fix it.

  @MissPookems I'm a broken record, but Mass Effect. I took a break, let my nostalgia wane, and it still has more charisma than over half of the games in my library. Lightning in a top-shelf bottle. It could still be better.

  @DanticsOfficial I think this is fine in shorter games but I have to be honest, if I was locked into a playstyle in cyberpunk at hour 50 and I knew I was only halfway through the ******* game and I was hating it, that'd be a problem. I'm saying this is a huge Mass Effect fan.

  @manuni340839 @_D4rk50ul_ @GeeksGamersCom Voltron was MADE for the streaming service. Highlander will do fine, its not got too much to live up to. Star Wars is DEAD.. enter Warhammer. Cavill was interviewed for Bond before and hes read the script (on his IG) for Mass Effect (at Amazon WITH Warhammer) So, sit down..

  @DanVMaul Halo Reach & Gears 3 were the only 1st party games. Mass Effect 2 was timed. Witcher 2 was exclusive by happenstance But you just showed that Xbox was relying heavily on 3rd party exclusives which was the problem & dwindled as time went on

  @DanticsOfficial @JCalabration6 I played at launch and enjoyed every little bit of it. It had all elements from Mass Effect 1. It had some issues, but this days any flaws means that the game is trash and it thrown under the bus. People don’t know how to appreciate **** this days.

  @MadBotanist2001 @trashpandorabox @buxgarii if you make the choice then thats what you pick? If i pick femshep in Mass Effect and during the first mission decide I want to be the male one, I can't just change it ***** nilly can I Ironically the mirror in Dragon Age would fix that issue actually

  @DanticsOfficial The Mass Effect trilogy remains one of the most interesting and memorable sagas available. ME3's issues are varied and only catch up with you in the finale. Boring, anticlimactic, disconnected from your choices—and those RGB endings combined with those explanations turn a writing mistake into an insult to the player. Plus, the revised ending added via patch made a bad ending even worse. And the answer to your question is: NO! Just because worse things have come out in the following years doesn't make what EA/BioWare did any less severe.

  @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 thing causing the lag, and I was especially into modding, but it took up a lot of space. The Mass Effect mods I downloaded took up nearly 20 GB in total. Now that my new system doesn’t have an HDD, I can’t download many mods. Those were the good old days I really loved modding back then.

  I had constant issues with Shepard looking crosseyed in Mass Effect 3. I figured maybe I just ****** up the character creator somehow. To experiment I went in the ME3 Appearance Mod menu (A mod) and changed the "EyesOut" setting to +0.100 and I never had this problem again.

  @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.

  @1GamewithDave1 I can't say it matters all that much. The only time it was an issue for me was Mass Effect. I selected FemShep and was grossed out because dudes kept hitting on me or misreading my dialogue choices as invitations to romance. It was a very educational experience.

  @Larry13636248 @DevlinBrady3 @Wahoolet I don't think "woke" was a factor, but it has been a long time. The issue was that the game launched in a disastrous way, with graphical glitches during cutscenes. Mediocre writing, mediocre story, and it just didn't feel worthy of the Mass Effect name.
