  @GreenTextRepost he didn't really solve the service problem, he solve it on an indie scale, but the corporate side still treats customers like absolute ****. I bought mass effect legendary edition for my steam deck, and it bricked itself due to the drm I had to find a "special copy" that worked.

  To any other Mass Effect streamers, I am having a problem on Mass Effect 3 where whenever I am in a conversation the audio becomes so muted that it becomes impossible to hear. All other sound is nice and clear, it is only in conversations. Anyone got a fix? I am using Streamlabs as my streaming software.

  @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.

  Wait, people skip Mass Effect 1? Is this a thing? Surely not. Mass Effect 1 isn't some problem child or inferior game we all just slog through in order to get to no2. It's brilliant, you learn the universe, become a S.P.E.C.T.R.E, Garrus, meet Saren, Garrus, explore, Garrus.

  @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.

  @ChampionsOTIce @LookAtMyMeat1 If they were in a combined reality. First thing that’s going to happen is the Imperial navy is going to destroy the Mass Effect relays. Indoctrination could be a problem but honestly if we’re talking WH30k there’s not a whole lot Reapers are going to be able to do against Titans and Imperial starships and that’s even before you factor in void shields. Ground units would fold like paper to Space Marines, Custodes, and Primarchs. I honestly doubt indoctrination would work on the Imperium super soldier units due to how complete their mental training is, and chaos has to literally corrupt the soul to get them to flip sides

  @gerogeroR I think a sci fi that actually shows the difficulty of a multispecies federation that doesn't gloss over the trouble caused by distinct life would be interesting. Mass effect got the closest but they still showed things mostly functioning normally on the citadel.

  @Pirat_Nation The biggest problem was the terrible writing, not the technical issues. Mass Effect games live and die on their writing quality and Andromeda was a huge fail in this respect.

  @HaydenGrac70340 @SuperMarioT_YT The marketing has nothing to do with the console. I never played Arkham City on XBox Soni can't compare buti never had any issues with Mass Effect 3 and I did play that game on 360 and PS3. I care not at what resolution XCX ran, it played well.

  @nuhre_ The problem with a long running series where "choices matter" is that eventually the game will just buckle under the weight of all the different options. Same thing happened with Mass Effect.

  @takasiraVT I think the issue is Nintendo. They won't take chances anymore. Imagine a Star Fox that was like Mass Effect: third person shooter, with swappable crew, OPEN space combat, an RPG system, currency. But no. We'll get another rail shooter, and just be happy we got anything

  @IffsSherp @madcap412 That is kind of the problem isn't it? Origins was a product of a time when devs had to be cautious about the progressive themes and it worked for Origins and Mass Effect. Veilguard was written by insufferable activists that had a head troon whose only qualification was the Sims.

  @SaraJoan11 You're making assumptions for everyone that played it. Like I and many have said, there were other problems with the game competely outside Shepard and their legacy. Having legacy at all can artificially boost a game. Who's to say without the Mass Effect brand the game would have even burst out of obscurity? Just because you enjoy the game enough to make a twitter page about it, doesn't mean others can't seperate their bias and fairly judge. You can like what you like but condescending to me doesn't change the facts. The game was rushed out the door and by doing so, a lot suffered. The pacing was off, the story wasn't incredibly cohesive, the characters weren't as compelling as they could be, it was riddled with bugs and problems, there was no real consequence to choice, the open world structure wasn't developed properly, etc. If a game can't grow on it's own at release, it is not healthy.

  @RenfailSoL Except Kotor came out over 20 years ago. Mass effect took measures to hide/reduce loading screens like with elevators. Loading screens become a problem when the player feels like they are seeing too many too frequently. Compare cyberpunk to starfield for a better comparison.

  @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

  @RazorFist I've always hated that Mass Effect 2 decided to change the genre from rpg to shooter with rpg elements. I also really hate that they addressed the problems with ME1's inventory system by just stripping it out completely.

  @WeAreMassEffect I was hoping for more Andromeda content or at least a new DLC bridging the Andromeda galaxy to Mass Effect 5. One of Andromedas big problems was dialogue. They tried to make it sound like a 'CW' teen show. Mass Effect is supposed to be gritty and dark not childish teen angst.

  @JamieMoranUK I've been wanting a faithful Mass Effect adaptation since I played the games back in the day. I'm a huge Mass Effect fan, and now everybody in entertainment must have an IQ of 80 or below to get in. My heart is broken.

  @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.

  @KKalvaitis Mass Effect 2's writing team more or less said "hey, what if we made even more excellent squad members and flesh out/fix Cerberus in a really interesting way, oh and then just write a bunch of dogshit for the main plot." Great pieces, horrible whole.

  Seen some takes on this going around, so I'll put my two cents in as a Bioware fanboy Bioware needs to make another Mass Effect, this is non-negotiable. But their problem is not needing a new IP or whatever, their problem is a fundamental flaw with their development (1/6)

  @RazorFist The ammo clip for Mass Effect 2.. why. Why ******** do that? The weapon system in the first game was great and it did not need to be revamped. Sure the shotgun was broken as hell, but it was FUN.

  @taunttitan401 @RealMarcFoxx Well, when I heard the actor's voice that plays garrus in Mass Effect, that was a huge moment. I went exploring, and I killed a sick bear. I mean just give me a sword and a village with problems and I'll solve them all.

  @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

  @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

  @TJPhoenix3 The Reapers are the most advanced civilization we know in Mass Effect. If they couldn't figure it out then how could the current cycle in Mass Effect solve it? Because the problem with this ending is that the galaxy is doomed if the player destroys the Reapers.

  @Ali_ibn_Snafu @DAKKADAKKA1 @grok The good guys win even with the bad ME3 endings, but Mass Effect itself didn't suffer that same issue with it's ending lol
