  @Captain_Haruno @Spartan_Eden Exactly the issue. Again Mass Effect books weren't required reading. Halo was just money grubbing

  @JamieMoranUK This sucks. Mass Effect is one of my favorite IPs and it’s gonna be gone. Or the new owners will want live service Mass Effect

  @Exorius84 @Pirat_Nation That's true but it's an industry issue. I would say Mass Effect and Dragon Age are not just any IPs. They still have huge fan bases and appeal and Bioware exists only as a container for these IPs. Otherwise nobody would be interested in Bioware at all.

  @IGN Notice how these articles always start with “former”. Anyway Mass Effect 5 has a long shot as it is. Announced this game 5 years ago, and still have nothing to show for it. New owners are hardly the problem here.

  @JosephMorris21 @uncle_deluge Mass Effect 2 is an entire game of plodding along and the whole story is frankly better if you skip straight to 3 and pretend Shepard met Miranda offscreen at some ****** service the saucy harlot.

  @MaroonKennedy Everyone wanted a space RPG. They just didn’t do a great job at making one. This probably wouldn’t be a problem that they made a new IP first if it was more like Mass Effect

  @palladiummag "But almost everyone engaged with the topic who isn’t a denier is either a doomer, an accelerationist, or some combination of the two." I'm a Synth! (Let's get the Green ending of Mass Effect 3 or the Institute ending of Fallout 4 and upgrade them!) "Maybe they are insane in what they want. That’s always a risk. Maybe their actions will push everyone else into desperation and lead to the extinction of mankind as we know it." You really think we're going to get Horizon: Zero Dawn's ending? I refuse to submit! (The entire tribe was longhoused!) "I realized that I was much more interested in using something like this imaginary computer, and being challenged and empowered by its demands for agency, than I was in any computer designed for a “human.” I realized my concept of “killer AI” was just the projection of all the agency we conventionally deny ourselves as ordinary humans." Hmmm... I have run into a similar problem as I build the user face and 'playspace,' but I completely disagree with your framing... I want a rotom-dex... Great article! I skipped a few paragraphs after gauging their relevance to me... but you knocked this out of the pak! Especially with the opening paragraph of 'Make Yourself Human Again.' 👏👏👏👏👏

  @The_Lord_Otter This is the problem with many games today. The graphics are amazing, but it’s all the same vanilla. This is your basic third-person perspective GTA, RE, Assassin’s Creed, Mass Effect, yada yada regurgitation of something else. Does it look fun? Sure, but it’s the same flavor with a few new sprinkles.

  @wesleytypes @masseffect Nah, ****** take, ME2 is totally better than first ME and ME3 because 1st was clunky af and mako mission were annoying and broken (me 2 had them too, but only in dlc) and ME3, bc that's me3, ****** ending and to much useless drama for nothing.

  Count of Arcadia (@ArcadiaCourt) reported 21 minutes ago

  @BasedChar_RE The problem for Mass Effect is that the ending to 3 is such an ending that you can’t go forward without addressing it, and Andromeda tried the reasonable concept of avoiding it. However, BioWare screwed it up from story to just making sure the game worked.

  In RPGs when your LI is getting attacked in combat do you also drop everything to protect them? On Palaven's moon you have to send a squadmate up a radio tower or something to fix it so I stood in front of the ladder, out of cover, so husks wouldn't get at Liara. #MassEffect

  @Pirat_Nation If they can so easily identify problems then apparently the dev ain't so grand either. No one attached to any level of decision making in the era of Mass Effect Andromeda / Anthem should ever be allowed to criticize game players. 2 platinum level franchise opportunities completely fumbled.

  @sasajuric By careful selection of dependencies that are battle tested and have well defined APIs that have already figured those things out. I build healthcare apps, so FHIR + Material UI + Meteor + D3 gave us a huge amount of API surface area for the LLMs to work with. Now then, there is a needed critical-mass effect for it to work. Things didn’t get really good until 250K lines of code; and we started with a tech stack that we had sorted out a lot of problems over the past decade. So, I wouldn’t say we *never* look at the code. Just that it’s possible to hit critical mass, where there’s enough source materials and enough rules, that the most modern models can start self-assembling code according to spec, and… it’s as good or better than anything I would write by hand.

  @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 issue, though; I was especially into mods, but they took up a lot of space. The mods I downloaded for Mass Effect took up nearly 20 GB in total. Now, since my new system doesn’t have an HDD, I can’t download many mods.

  @CorbynRed So, I take a number of issue here. For one, this probably isn't a person who is high up in the organization and is just someone on the ground or a manager. I can't think of why a PIF head would comment on Mark Darrah's videos. For two, he is really glazing EA for being well managed when this management has lead to BioWare being reduced severely and other studios as well. For three, the fact that he said that after Mass Effect that BioWare will be deployed as creative support is worrying. Like okay. I guess they won't be fired but that is not really good for the creatives of BioWare to just be support. Though I find it odd he calls Andromeda "a touch too creative for a lot of fans," I wonder if he means that positively or negatively. And finally this guy could literally just be lying and making this up. Even if he wasn't I find it hard to believe that a PIF person in a high position would be commenting on a Mark Darrah video. Or any video for that matter.

  Kinda wanna c*mm some art of Shirou and Saber in Mass Effect 3. I already had one done for ME1 and ME2, the problem is theres too many potential ideas

  @kennyistyping idk there's like a mass effect issue also lens had somewhat the right idea of being just a backend but when you are so open ended curation gets hard and even moreso when you have adversarial usage. i think it takes something really paradigmic to get you off of that.

  Dragon Age, Mass Effect and KOTOR sold because they were good single player stories, no live service required. Now the only thing these companies have to sell is their reputation, and they think its worth $80. I'll take the gacha slop over the struggle session.

  @RinoTheBouncer I agree that this would've made a great Mass Effect spinoff. What if this was the planet the Normandy crash-landed on at the end of Mass Effect 3? With all of the mass relays destroyed, the Normandy crew presumably would've had to make the best of their situation on that planet.

  Mike Becker (@_mainframe79) reported 45 minutes ago

  @Swurv__ Not entirely true. The progression of visuals hasn’t justified the costs. Look at something like Mass Effect. Perfectly fine visuals. Legendary edition fixed the old frame rate issues for being a 360 launch title. I would be fine with more games at that level of detail to get GOOD games

  @atharia_ true but honestly i hope they do sell mass effect and bioware. EA is simple a cancer for bioware that along side it owm problems only leads to more conflicts

  Volk (@ladolcevolk) reported 48 minutes ago

  Nothing's set in stone yet on how Saudi management will affect EA but they're more interested in live service and sports titles. I expect Bioware to get sold off. I've seen people speculate Mass Effect and Dragon Age will individually be sold, but I doubt it.

  @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

  @jackshepfc I will so badly want to take over by aware and remake Mass Effect from the ground up. Restore all the cut content, and make the original rough draft mission a real thing and of course fix the giant plot holes and give players choices. Mass Effect 1 did not allow us to meld with Tevos in order to prove that the reapers are real. Mass Effect 2 did not allow us to be diplomatic with The mercenaries. There was a large bunch of side characters that I thought were really cool and I really liked and yet I was forced to kill all of them against my will. Mass Effect 3 would require a whole day to explain what is wrong with it. And Mass Effect Andromeda is an abomination.

  @Aurelian_27 Yup, but they need to be exclusive. Releasing on Playstation hurts their brand. They've had the hardest times since 360 quality exclusives and even then most of the like Bioshock and Mass Effect came to PS. But the price for the next consoles will be an issue as well i fear.
