Mass Effect Andromeda Issues Reports

  @RazorFist Mass Effect 1's only real problem was the combat. The story, atmosphere, dialog, and setting were fantastic. ME2 changed it from an RPG into an action game where you had some skill points. The gameplay was tighter but the story was half-assed and the final boss was a joke.

  @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.

  @HariSel57511397 Wrong. Mass Effect 2 is peak ME. The only problem is it is where Mass Effect watered down the class/skill system to become more palatable to normies.

  @kalaelizabeth Also a big problem is people comparing it to a whole trilogy. If I compare it to just Mass Effect one, I like it more. I honestly didn’t become that attached to characters until ME2 besides Garrus

  @Red_Ayan @tekarino @QuiteShallow Trying to shift it to: "But mass effect too!!!!" doesn't make Taash any less poorly written at points. You bring up the companions in ME2, but ignore that those companions don't have the same writing problems that Taash had.

  @The_Huskarl hey derry-do i have a problem for you how do you expand the audience for a big budget game like mass effect 2 without removing all the elements that made the franchise interesting in the first place? hey-ho yellow boots or something

  He's not targetting "mass effect fans" with his comment there. He's targetting the types of online creators that take one inch of a controversial topic and pick at it for months on end, applying criticisms (like "SJWs") that aren't even relevant to the core issues at hand.

  @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.

  @Benito_Llan @marewho12 Mass Effect used the excuse of losing contact with a privately funded expedition, although it came with its own problems (somehow unnoticed by FTL-capable humanity despite being around *Alpha Centauri*, and discovered by aliens despite, again, being around Alpha Centauri)

  @Authw8 mass effect 1 is still absurd as by then they must have developed room temperature superconductors and the heating issue would be no more

  @DannyINTEL Problem w/ a lot of these games is they end up having the same combat as Genshin or Wuwa They should have considered that with Urban settings it should have gameplay more similar to The Division, Cyberpunk, Watchdogs or Mass Effect Prioritize ranged gameplay over melee.

  @irockithere @RenfailSoL “Immersion.” I had no problem feeling immersed in KOTOR, Mass Effect, or any ES title. It’s a game after all. Looking at screen, sitting a room. There’s a limit. No loading screen doesn’t make you feel like a citizen of the game. Like 0.5% more.

  @NerdTalksShow What about Mass Effect? In the latest PW issue there was another entry about it..

  @Authw8 Mass effect guns fire magnetically accelerated metal shavings from a small tungsten block inside them. This gives them near infinite ammo. In ME 1 the guns had overheating issues limiting them. In ME2 and onward thermal clip ejection was created to vent heat. It is what it is

  @reddrakonmo I don’t think shep not being in andremonda was really the problem, it was mainly everything outside of combat at most being mediocre. Andremonda did feed into the idea that Shepard is Mass Effect which is why your seeing BioWare pivot back to the Milky Way and showing liara.

  @BonafideXP @masseffect @bioware “When you try to appeal to everyone, you end up appealing to no one.” 💯 one of the main issues in gaming now No conviction of devs just saying, this is cool, this is what we like, this is what we will build and offer Only 'safe', decision by committee, lukewarm slop

  @neetori_ch I had an issue with Mass Effect 3 (PS3 disc) where I couldn't get past a certain area in a mission. It was a tiny scratched area. Toothpaste scrubbing. Apparently it was just ever abrasive enough to buff out the scratch. I was able to finish the game!

  Playing mass effect for the first time has been so fun & then my mood was soured when I realized that @EA doesn't give two shits about fixing a well talked about problem which is fixing the #MassEffect Legendary Edition steam achievements issue. Why hasnt it been fixed?

  The Dreamsgon (@dreamsleever) reported 41 minutes ago

  @brockpierson Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim or Morrowind or Oblivion, Mass Effect Legendary, Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077. The issue with doing it 12 hours a day if an MMO would be downtime due to maintenance!

  @ByanBenyolds @MythicMgames I completely understand that I have games in my catalogue that I have not touched yet again like all the other posts I responded to the reason I thought this individual was lying was strictly because most of us know who are massive mass effect fans since it’s inception how contentious Andromeda was. The game nearly single-handedly destroyed the mass effect franchise the amount of vitreal in hate over a decade. It’s hard for me to believe that someone that is a fan of the series has no idea about and it’s just trying to rage bait. Again, the game was so terrible that they canceled DLC That’s all, again I have no issue with the hustle

  @Pilatus_Arts I honestly think they should remake Mass Effect Andromeda. Fix the story, fix the combat, fix the game engine, fix MANY of the characters, and give us 12 squad mates, 30 explorable worlds, 15 of them for colonies, and more new aliens!

  @Floki_Vt @ShitpostRock2 I travel alot and it just stays in my travel stuff ill update it and the games like once a year lol the only game I ever had an issue with was the legendary edition of Mass effect and that was AFTER and update thanks to EA wanting me to sign into their shity launcher

  @LuisMay23930054 @kalaelizabeth Mass Effect without human-centric story won't work. It's already very generic sci-fi, without humanity's struggle to secure its place it won't feel like Mass Effect. That was one of Andromeda's biggest issues in story and world building

  @Waefent "butchering for DEI" as if mass effect itself isn't diverse and inclusive already, this is not the problem in the slightest

  Will (@Iceman0686) reported 51 minutes ago

  @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.

  @MythicMgames Andromeda is a good game in itself. The problem is that it doesn't have what made Mass Effect great. Companions are bland, choices seem less impactful, story is not as good... combat is great, though. IMHO, as long as you don't expect it to be as good as the trilogy, go for it.

  So I saw the comments from the director about Andromeda, and I have to admit, he has some points. I played Starfield for 2 hours and then played, and best Mass Effect Andromeda rather than finish that. Andromeda has its problems, but at least its not Starfield.

  @phaseknight_ I want to, but the driving section in mass effect 1 rot my Brain. Great, another mountain to glitch onto for +1 iron...

  @VolkariN7 It would had been a decent start of a trilogy. A lot of kinks and problems could had been fixed in a sequel. Andromeda is a objectively better game than Mass effect 1.

  Kenji S (@Kenjis9965) reported 58 minutes ago

  I disagree on this You absolutely can make a new Mass Effect game. There's plenty of ways to go about this. Andromedas issue was not Ryder.. And Andromeda I feel would have been improved with some DLC And I'm very tired of Veilguard being a punching bag in these arguments
