  @ApplefatGov @csaurageul Borrowing the color palette of Gears of War, or cover based shooting mechanics into genres it didn't belong like Mass Effect or even Uncharted (or a dozen other games) caused problems for a long time. But that doesn't say anything about the games where they worked.

  @CorbynRed Its funny how, everytime someone says that, they basically JINXED the Game and Studio to fail. I heard people say that to Vailguard... Now Vailguard is the Reason that, if Mass Effect is not absolutely and 100% appealing to the predominantly male audience, the Studio will close. Then we have Avowed, which underperformed so hard, with "The Outerworld 2" as follow up Titel. AC Shadows: I would assume they are still in the Red, AT BEST near "broken even". Coming from a monstrous Company we saw, that even those games can fail. And EVERY. SINGLE. TIME... i got the statement "They will sell extremely good" and further cope... At the end, every game underperformed massively.

  @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.

  @Cthulhu_OwO I should [play] the Mass Effect Trilogy. No, really, I bought the whole thing for 5 bucks on Steam and it's been sitting on my library ever since. Everyone says that it's kino, but I got so many games to play... Younger me would be ashamed that I somehow think it's a problem !

  @KenteMana @SwervoT3k @bioware the problem with DAO getting a remaster/remake IIRC is that there is almost nobody left at BioWare who knows how the game engine runs, so a remaster is almost impossible, and a remake is unlikely until at least Mass Effect 5 gets out the door just b/c of resource priority

  @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

  @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.

  @HaIoFox I had that issue because I liked a certain post regarding Mass Effect. The poster messaged me saying it was gross that Liara and another character would kiss. Then they blocked me like a ***** lol

  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?

  @onlypushinp @dreadwolf_solas Mass effect had big problem beetween 2 and 3 with some story part being scrapped, it is coherent because of the protag, the cast and the ennemy who in the end don’t change. You jusy can’t do that with DAO for example.

  Archer Defense Daily News (@ArcherNightfall) reported 31 minutes ago

  Exactly why there shouldn't have been any ceasfire The problem is masseffect We need to figure new bomb area yield. 1. You figure out how to do an real orbital drop system like COBRA's Zeus 2. You figure out how to do insanely large bombs that have actually closer/fractional to nuclear type power. This is actually an insane physics problem. Eventually AI robots entering into conflict zones will alleviate this problem. But for right now this, sucks. And by the way this was a huge issue in Afghanistan and why they were able to hang in there so long. I've said it before our munitions are too precise. This is what drags out wars. Something is missing from this fight.

  @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

  XFerginatorX (@XFerginatorX) reported 38 minutes ago

  @ShittyHaloTakes Basically it negates issues which is why they like adding it because over a decade ago we just could call out games for **** like Mass Effect 3 leaving content on the disc then selling it back to you outrage. Now you add an they/them Asari and the discussion is pulled away from..

  @AMWorley_Writer @drowwpoison @kalaelizabeth It makes more sense when you look at Mass Effect 3's multiplayer as the reason why EA wanted to get so heavily into loot boxes and live service in the first place, it was wildly successful where Inquisition's multiplayer failed and they were chasing that high ever since

  @aaronmail1994 Can you give an example? Most of the time it's bugs causing issues, but they end up getting fixed with an update. I’ve been on PC for 2 or 3 years now, and the only issue I’ve had was a bug in Mass Effect 1 that I found a workaround for. Most of the time I just install and play.

  @flamingarc I think Mass Effect: Andromeda was only 600 years after the trilogy. Mind you, Andromeda had a myriad of issues, and that time jump is double what we're potential looking at with FW, but it IS possible to have the story set after big player-choice events and not interfere.

  Exodus removing character customization feels like such an unnecessary rake to step on. Mass Effect has an iconic default protagonist look for Shepard, but still has options to customize and change his/her look to the player's liking. Such an unforced error

  @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.
