  Shadow (@SevenSeaSinbad) reported 31 seconds ago

  Mass Effect Andromeda on Insanity is way harder than I expected, never had any trouble with the original trilogy so was expecting the same with this game but damn. Going to try and stick with it though, but if it reaches a boiling point I have no problem going to normal or easy.

  @nikos_on_yt My biggest problem with Mass Effect Legendary edition. They completely ruined the lighting

  @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

  @Polygon So that means even less live service games? I’m all in on that. We need single player + multiplayer hybrid games back. Uncharted 2 had multiplayer. Perfect Dark had multiplayer. Mass Effect 3 had multiplayer.

  @pixie_girl3 you're entirely missing the point. we don't have trouble with female protagonists. think about Aloy from Horizon, or Laura Croft from Tomb Raider. we're just sick and tired of the cultural engineering. They turn Thor into a woman, ruined the Star wars franchise, same with Amazon and the Lord of the rings TV show. Mass Effect Andromeda killed their franchise as well. gamers just don't want to be preached at. we don't want to be told how we're supposed to think and feel about anything.

  @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

  @TheHiddenOneAC Mabey its because I've played yakuza and mass effect, but is it that much of an issue seeing reused animations?

  it sounds so silly to wonder if I should get final fantasy 7 or mass effect andromeda lmao but I’m curious on how the mass effect franchise changed and the problems people had with it myself! I could always watched a review for it but it wouldn’t be the same yk?

  @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.

  @dionizije_fa @pcgamer I lost respect for Casey Hudson after the botched Mass Effect 3 debacle at launch that took forever to fix. 3 different colored explosions is the culmination of all of your choices throughout the series.

  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 💀

  This just doesn't look good and let me explain. The background looks like it is one thing and the background looks great. The Issue with the characters is this reminds me of Mass Effect Andromeda. the filters and animation done makes the character look 100% not like the mocap or person they did mocap. All of the women characters, for whatever reason intentionally, look like they are bloated in order to put more detail. Ciri looked the same as well. Face bloated to add more detail that makes no sense to me. I don't know if this is because of the engines we use for games and things like that but the reality is that this doesn't look good. Somehow though, the eastern studios have figured it out so us in the west are doing something wrong. That being said, playing as Laufey in a "god of war" title is dumb especially when i thought they were transitioning to a parallel story with Atreus and now the woman than i guess Kratos banged and now is dead so you can guide Kratos and the like on their journey? that's just retarded.

  @WeAreMassEffect The main problem with Mass Effect Andromeda was not the launch issues [that were fixed, eventually] or the writing or the Scooby Doo seriousness of the shipmates, it was that you couldn't replay the game as a completely different class. The "profile" idea stole so much the game.

  @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.

  @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.

  @Nick_White_AOS I tried so hard to like Veilguard and Andromeda had mad potential if they didnt force the live service crap. The reason why Kotor and Mass Effect 1 stand the test of time is because thats when Bioware did what THEY wanted and weren't studio slaves

  Rick O'Shay (@shay_o66668) reported 49 minutes ago

  @luskybe @DanticsOfficial Tim hijacking the role of the main villain feels completely contrived. And having service be the main enemy is contrary to what all the marketing showed. All the marketing showed us fighting Reaper forces. They didn't show us fighting Cerberus troops. Cerberus was established in the previous game to be an untrustworthy but important Ally. Mass Effect 3 was supposed to show us all putting our differences aside and fight a much larger mutual enemy. Instead we have 18 missions fighting Cerberus and only 11 fighting the Reapers, and fighting the Geth for five missions. And if Cerberus was brought in to diversify the enemy forces, well, the Reapers could have easily done that they intermixed the reaper units with the collector units.

  @RinoTheBouncer @dawiddrzala what about game file size. there's only so much that can be fit on a disc and a disc only utilizes specific data compression formats. mass effect 2&3 tried to solve this by splitting the game on 2 discs but it wasn't as effective as they hoped. the issue is that it will happen

  @Grummz All this work they are putting into a game that will sell 70% less than it would have if the protagonist was a custom character like Mass Effect had. Easy fix. Naughty Dog let US decide what our main character should look like. Cause what you made is going to kill your sales.
