  @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.

  @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

  @RudeJackalope For me, personally is Mass effect 1. I could never finish it. I dont think its terrible, i just struggled with the controls and they felt clunky as all hell for me which is a skill issue on my end but i never got far into it before dropping it all together

  @ShouVertica @MikeyNohMore All Starfield had to do was try not to be NMS. They should have kept it tight, 2-3 star systems at most. But the bigger issue is that many of us expected Bethesda's take on Mass Effect. Instead we got Fallout 4 in space because Emil Pagliarulo is a talentless hack.

  @MD_Chaos4 By the way, in your opinion, what was the biggest problem with Mass Effect of how did badly execute its lore?

  @Grummz No. Anthem should have never happened as conceived. If it was a single player game with some multiplayer attached on, sure. They wanted live service and it was not built for that. They sacrificed Mass Effect for this game.

  @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

  @WallStreetMav In the first Mass Effect game there was an option to spare a bunch of mercenaries who try to murder you. Refusing their surrender was punished with 'renegade points'. Yes this was a punishment meant to 'groom' you. But a bigger problem are lies about Christ being 'peaceful'.

  @RavensFlock1312 Issue with these realism is they lose the art style and ironically makes it worse. Many game remasters did the same mistake like the recent Halo CE where it looks graphically impressive but devoid of the sauce that made halo CE pop. Same was done to Mass Effect 1 with Shadows

  @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.

  @Pirat_Nation Problem is “remaster” is a fancy term for ai-upscaled graphics and that’s it. Devs these days almost never put any effort into actually fixing stuff. Look at the mass effect legendary edition. So many opportunities to add stuff that would have made the games better, but nah..

  @DestinLegarie As someone who doesn’t like FPS,I love Gears, mass effect etc. I like the witcher and not skyrim or oblivion and I like gta. Many ppl are like this. I like halo’s history and doom’s gore and looks, but can’t stomach the fps. That said, I think gamepass was the problem with doom.

  @JamesMagnus101 @superharek @ApuBobr Tbf wasn't it in mass effect that been a year or 2 since I last played an power issue because how they use lasers in that universe also generally they lost too much energy at a distance to be viable so they were onmy used for CQC but ships didn't really have that armor for it

  @PunlshedGundam @RohanKarMooN I had issues w/ games w/ multiple client-app/DRM's - i.e. Ubi games on Steam (PoP: Forgotten Sands, req. Ubi launcher); EA games on Steam (Mass Effect: Legendary, which req. EA App); & RDR2 on Epic (always req. R* app). Just always boot the 1st-party required launcher first.

  @xaviersonline_ i love her voice but i can't stand his but maybe it's one of those things that grows on you who knows that's the same problem i had with mass effect where the maleshep was just hard to play (though his VA is actually amazing so idk if it was the direction or what)

  @Pies_of_Lee Veilguard is just a continuation of the same writing issues that plagued mass effect Andromeda but the same reactionaries were too busy bitching about a trans character in that game too

  true and the only game ive seen address this problem correctly is mass effect bc being called shepard doesnt break the immersion since it Is technically your name but being called leader in p3r all the time really ******* sucks

  @Pirat_Nation Once again modders will fix what the devs try to wreck with these games. Just like when the modders brought back the Miranda buttshot in Mass effect legendary edition. Although that game was far less ****** with than Halo appears to be.

  @wesleytypes @EA They never bothered to fix Andromeda and we never even got that Quarian DLC. If it’s not an immediate monetary success, EA will force the studios to abandon it. Much like Anthem, RIP. I don’t think we’ll get another Mass Effect for another 10 years, and that’s me being hopeful.

  @QuarianKaiRazu @MassEffect_News EA won’t rest until every single BioWare franchise is turned into a live-service casino full of microtransactions. Mass Effect deserved better.

  @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.' 👏👏👏👏👏

  @MichaelFKane @EidolonOracle I think the Star Child is less the problem than the color-coded ending options, even if people incorrectly associate the somewhat lacklustre ending with the Star Child. (Frankly, without the free update that they released, the ending to Mass Effect 3 sucked ***, but even with it, it wasn't amazing). But you're right. Hell, in Mass Effect's case, they were teasing the metaphysical twist from day 1. ME is an apocalyptic Biblical epic, after all. It would've made way less sense to NOT include the Star Child (or something similar). They just fumbled the implementation, likely due to budget/timing constraints.

  @Zeroth4G mass effect, fallout, dragon age, etc all stem from the same problem

  @WeezSays @LonoSG Not true for all of them. Steam’s own offline-mode FAQ even says games that use an external launcher often won’t start. You lose multiplayer, sure. But a lot of single-player titles still won’t launch if EA App, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar, or CDPR’s REDlauncher can’t phone home. I’ve had that exact problem with Mass Effect Legendary Edition (EA) and Witcher 3 after the next-gen launcher got added. “Steam games play offline” is true for some Steam games. It’s not a blanket rule when the publisher bolted a second storefront onto the install.

  @pinkkomimi My problem is more I try to play it like Mass Effect and then remember I can't use skills and I have no party members to cover me LOL. I'm getting better at it though thanks to the world quests.

  Am i overthinking it, or is it odd that Iran would cyberattack the state that is led by Tim Walz and not a hugely populated one for mass effect, and at the same time we were warned that AI had "broken free"? Prolly just overthinking.
