  Night Time 👀 (@FighterFPS) reported 16 seconds ago

  @XTuleta @renegator66 @ANTllSM So by that definition EA never made a bad broken Game. Battlefield 2042, Anthem, Mass Effect Andromeda, etc. are all the developers fault right?

  @CDRJohnShepard Netcode is a lot more stable so the mod won't crash as much as reach did. Community made shaders allow for PBR support. Levels also don't have to be sealed in Halo 4 so I can port mass effect maps pretty fast (Did this one in a couple days).

  @Xvault2 Mass Effect combat was serviceable, I enjoyed it as much as I did Fable's. It worked, I had no problem with it. You're not getting my point here lmfao. Mass Effect, Fable and other similar games don't have standout combat. They have ton more gameplay elements at play.

  @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

  @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.

  Doing a bit in the first Mass Effect that I somehow NEVER did last time (the Bring Down the Sky stuff). Can't for the life of me figure out why, I enjoyed these enough that I played all three games back to back, so wanting to be done wasn't an issue.

  @sulmusa00 @Pirat_Nation Like we've seen this problem before with Mass Effect 1, assload of planets but when most of them are empty you just end up going to the storyline planets which just HAVE TO BE incredible and that really makes or breaks a game like that

  @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.

  Richard Valdez (@RealRichardVald) reported 16 minutes ago

  @DanticsOfficial The only issue with using Mass Effect 1 if it doesn't really affect much besides one special mission in the first game in a few passing references in the sequels. I think Dragon Age would have been a better example

  @mcuban You might find this interesting! So here's my MRI results... This is a workman's comp injury, I'll post the explanation of grok of my MRI results and then show you the doctor's report that grok analyzed Your cervical spine MRI (without contrast) shows multilevel degenerative (wear-and-tear) changes with loss of disc height and signal throughout, plus straightening of the normal forward curve of the neck but no vertebrae slipping out of place, no bone-marrow problems, and a completely normal spinal cord with no swelling, damage, or compression. The C2-C3 and C7-T1 levels are entirely normal. At C3-C4 there is only a small disc bulge causing very mild narrowing of the right nerve-exit opening. At C5-C6 there is a small disc-and-bone-spur complex that does not herniate or narrow anything. At C4-C5 a disc-and-bone-spur complex produces a 2 mm central disc protrusion, mild narrowing of the main spinal canal, mild narrowing of both nerve-exit openings, and a small tear in the outer disc ring. The most important findings are at C6-C7, where a disc-and-bone-spur complex includes a broad-based right-sided disc protrusion that causes only mild narrowing of the main spinal canal but moderate-to-severe narrowing of the right nerve-exit opening, putting clear pressure on the exiting right C7 nerve root, along with moderate narrowing of the left nerve-exit opening as well. Overall the main spinal canal itself has no more than very mild stenosis, so the key issue is the right C7 nerve compression that can produce neck pain and possibly radiating arm symptoms. The mid-August MRI report objectively documents multilevel degenerative disc changes with a notable 2 mm central protrusion at C4-5 plus a broad-based right paracentral/foraminal disc protrusion at C6-7 that produces moderate-to-severe right foraminal stenosis and clear mass effect/compression on the exiting right C7 nerve root (along with mild spinal stenosis and other mild bilateral foraminal narrowing), yet the August 20 work-comp follow-up note lists only the soft-tissue diagnoses of “sprain of ligaments of cervical spine” and “unspecified sprain of left shoulder joint,” contains zero mention of the MRI, the disc protrusions, the stenosis, or the nerve compression, and releases you to regular duty with only brief restrictions through August 27; this mismatch is inconsistent because the imaging evidence of structural disc herniation and nerve-root compression is entirely omitted from both the listed diagnoses and the work-status decision, which instead frames the condition as a simple ligament sprain that would ordinarily be expected to improve far more rapidly than the documented compressive findings.

  It really does suck that in Mass Effect: Evolution it is marketed as "First Contact War Shown" and its ends so quickly its genuinely baffling. And not only that but the Illusive Man just goes to Illium like its no problem. First human on an alien world and no one cares. The other comics are much better but why did they introduce the Illusive Man like this? Sure show him in the First Contact war but don't make it seem like its about the conflict and also just let time pass so the next event makes more sense. Also having Saren encounter the Reapers this early is weird when he encounters them for what I presumed was the first time.

  Knight(Fate)1029384756 (@Knight10293847) reported 20 minutes ago

  My first gut instinct is to agree because yeah. Mass Effect doesn't need a canon ending and it should by all mean respect what the players have done and explore those consequences to their natural conclusions. What the rachni choice should have been is exactly that. If you killed the rachni they shouldn't have showed up at all in ME3. Imagine hearing from a friend who killed the rachni and them saying "I didn't get that mission. Like I saw Grunt and we fought Reapers but the rachni didn't exist in my game. I killed them." And just being struck by how that decision not only makes the renegade choice correct (in a way) but also such a vast difference. An entire enemy type and race just doesn't have influence at all in the game. But that didn't happen. What happened is the rachni game back regardless and the only difference was if you paragon'd you paragon'd again to get war assets. If you renegaded you renegaded again to not loss war assets. Something that does have an effect but its not what the player expects on a bare bones basic or even what they wildly might think. And that is the issue with the ending choices of Mass Effect. The promise such divergent stories that can't simply be crunched into a similar path. There will just be fundamentally different conflicts and issues with each one of them. This video does suggest they just do what Mass Effect has always done but that is accepting a comprise instead of expecting what it should natural be. Not having different assignments to show that "Hey there are differences?" But genuine world differences. Synthesis is described where conflict isn't really a factor anymore. Where everyone knows what its like to be someone else. That story, that exploration of the themes would result in a much less action oriented game and more something like Disco Elysium where the central conversation is about what this life is like. Control is likewise a very different kind of conflict where smaller scale wars could happen. But galactic conflicts just won't exist. Something like a Krogan Civil War is just unlikely to happen with a Shepard controlling the Reapers. Where they could easily stomp down on any major conflict. And not only that but things like diseases, medically issues and similar things would nearly be erased. Maybe there is a story where Shepard becomes a tyrant and rules over organics as an AI god but I don't think many could see their Shepard doing that and I don't think BioWare could see Shepard doing that. Destroy likewise would just be about reconnecting the galaxy together and would be the one most similar to the setting before the Crucible. And all of this isn't even accounting for honoring other player choices. I mentioned it a bit with the Krogan Civil War hinted at in a N7 teaser but there is literally no way a Krogan Civil War can realistically exist in a Synthesis ending or a Control Ending. Not in the way the art depicts. Like I can not accept that if the quarians are dead in one playthrough that BioWare just goes. JK they live and the only difference is a mission. No, it should feel like a real loss. Something was fundamentally changed between a version of them living and a version of them dead. Because that is the promise of importing choices. A major decision was made and you will see how that plays out to its fullest. Not half, not a quarter but seeing it realized. The same feeling you get in a D&D session where a major choice you made comes back and makes you realize it would have been different if you made a different choice. I know for a fact that if BioWare does crunch the endings and the only difference is different side quests, I and other fans would be upset. Because that isn't what I wanted. The solution for BioWare is two fold. The hard path and the easy path. The first is they just buckle down make three games and honor the choices made in each game. Not saying Synthesis should be Disco Elysium but Mass Effect but its the one that makes the most sense in my head. But something that fully explores the ramifications of having this union between synthetics and organics. Same with Control and same with Destory. The second path is just canonize an ending. Its the easiest way because they can focus their efforts on story of the game instead of making a game that is literally about showing the player their choices and making the game before 2040. I think they should also canonize the Genophage, and quarian and geth choices because I know for a fact that if they don't it will be real sad seeing the only differences being less krogan, quarians and geth. And this isn't even considering the fact that the Krogan Civil War just won't happen at the scale shown in the artwork if Wreav is in charge, Eve is dead, and the Genophage isn't cured. Sorry but the krogan would just die out. Because the expectation of that combination of choices would be the krogan's extinction. Its how the games have framed it since the beginning and to alter that would introduce internal inconsistency. I hope this shows why this will be so difficult for BioWare but also why literally no other RPG studio has done it to this scale. What BioWare did with ME1 to 3 and DAO to DAI is astounding. Truly more than what I have seen. Because CDPR fumbled that and gave up with Witcher 3. Small example being Thaler is alive no matter what. And big example is that the dragon state you helped create alongside helping the Scoia'tael in the prior games just does nothing. No mention of it and not even the bare bones of them coming to help Geralt at Kaer Morhen. Obsidian did it fine enough but they just didn't do that with Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed. Larian? What about Larian? Larian has set each of their Divinity games 100s of years apart from each other just so they don't have to address it and on top of that they just are inconsistent. Only caring recently because they made it bigger. And don't even get me started with BG3. I know Wizards has already canonized events but what was with Viconia and Saervok? Just random guys with their names attached. Not even canonized endings just completely different people. Casey Hudson did an interview with Game Informer about this and he is right when he says this has to be planned out. So, many of these companions did these as features because BioWare did it because BioWare controlled what was supposed to be in an RPG. But as that feature waned without BioWare pushing it these other developers slowly removed it. Because its ******* hard to do. Great rewards if done right. A true feeling of your character existing in the world and having an effect long after it happened but a mountainous path it is. Again I want the hard path. BioWare. I'll wait man. Make three games and honor the choices of each of them. But as this video says its also about the money. And there isn't any reality where EA goes "Yeah, we can about 5 years with each release and for each of those games to be very different. Go head."

  @EA @EAHelpOfficial_ I still have not received a response or resolution regarding either issue documented in this case. Mass Effect: Andromeda will not connect to EA’s online services on my account. This prevents me from accessing the game’s online and multiplayer functionality. I have already attempted the available troubleshooting steps, but the problem remains unresolved. Second, I purchased Mass Effect: Andromeda multiplayer DLC packs specifically for online multiplayer content that I cannot access because the game will not connect to EA’s services. I am therefore requesting a refund for those online DLC purchases. The purchased content is unusable through no fault of my own. This case has already been pending without an adequate response. Please escalate it to a support representative who can examine my EA account, game entitlements, and purchase history and provide an actual resolution. Thank you.

  @ChShersh Survivorship bias may be at work here, you probably don't play or think about the completely broken games. (Remember that one Mass Effect game?) Also, games are art and what is considered broken or not is fuzzy, often when there are bugs they become part of the game because they are fun.

  @Tacofridge @Swurv__ No, that’s not a fix, at that point is no longer a BIG universe with hundreds of planets. If you like small you have Outerworlds, Mass Effect, Star Wars, etc. If you want BIG you have Starfield, No Man Sky, Elite Dangerous, Long Journey Home, Starflight. Is good to have both!

  @SoullessCorvus @For_Macragge It requires a lot of setup math. Hell I did Eve Online ships versus Mass Effect reapers years ago and it took about 300 pages of notes, math equations and a whole host of measurements. But the biggest problem is in finding a point of comparison. Compare the apples to the apples.

  The term "Open weight self hosted AI" is quite misleading. The weights of an LLM are a massive set of numbers which no human and no software can explain or clarify. In a very real sense the weights are not OPEN because no human or machine can read the weights and understand / describe what they mean. This is totally unlike "open source code" which can be understood. For all we know, the weights of an "Open weight LLM" contain hidden malicious errors, analogous to the error "Legion" used to destroy the Geth who were supporting the Reapers in Mass Effect 2. "Open weight LLMs" are fundamentally inscrutable.
