  @DanticsOfficial It wasn’t a bad game but it wasn’t good either Problem is they tried to move away from Sheppard but not enough from Mass Effect. The story/scenario is roughly the same but name swapped to another galaxy That give the impression of a bad OG copy instead of a new game of its own

  Amazon is ordering major script rewrites for the Mass Effect TV series. They want to modernize it. It’s the same old story where a studio takes a loved universe and starts hacking away at it because they think they know better than the source material. I want to enjoy a space opera without a lecture. Especially one where I’m not wondering if the writers even liked the original game or if they’re just trying to "fix" something that wasn't broken. Usually, when a show gets ordered to undergo massive rewrites to make it more accessible or modern, it just means they're stripping out the soul and the grit that made people care in the first place. Amazon has a habit of doing this to established franchises. We’re likely in for another project that values a message over the actual craftsmanship of the world. Expect the worst.

  @nuhre_ ME:A would of been better game without being attached to Mass Effect - that is the truth; the game play was fun, but yea the uglification of characters; infamous lip sync issues - and again certain characters written like crap killed it.

  choosing vanguard instead of infiltrator in #masseffect was a tactical error. Lotta geth

  @KKalvaitis Mass Effect 2's writing team more or less said "hey, what if we made even more excellent squad members and flesh out/fix Cerberus in a really interesting way, oh and then just write a bunch of dogshit for the main plot." Great pieces, horrible whole.

  @Dreamboum Unironically more people need to read Shamus Young's Mass Effect Retrospective to see the problems 2 caused to the overall plot. If you can make it out on the other side of that and still hold your love for the franchise and be able to acknowledge it's flaws, it's so liberating

  @HariSel57511397 I hard disagree, Mass effect 2 is a perfect bottle episode where they focus on worldbuilding and its characters, it has the best cast of crewmates by far, the issue is simply 1) there should have been 4 games. 2) Mass effect 3 wasted too much time

  @cheersitskatie Oh look another stupidity oozing, men hating ***** wannabe fan not worthy of the inclusive Mass Effect fandom. Kindly piss off, you don't understand the games and themes of coming together and resolving issues with each other while facing existential threats like the Reapers.

  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

  @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

  @LFaunts I’m…. Weary. I’m not a fan of adapting choice based games (I have this same issue with the upcoming mass effect show) But I have also been pleasantly surprised with the names associated to it

  @LavenderGhast I love Mass Effect, but there are 2 problems with the writing: numbers are vague, and you can't be too mean to the player. You can kinda tell they didn't really know how long ago they wanted the first contact war to be from the way Ashley and Presley talk about it.

  @Cloveruu98 @WeAreMassEffect i believe that it was. i played it post all the patches, i really didnt experience all the broken-ness people did on release. despite the game being mostly bug free, the mass effect formula just wasnt properly adapted to an open world formula, game got boring kinda fast.

  @nuhre_ @xenowriter We? Every single fan of Mass Effect does not want the show to be about Shepard because we know it would be a freaking bad idea. Shepard’s journey is 💯% personal to every fan. Andromeda was a good Mass Effect game, the issues were only technical, definitely not about Shepard.

  Good lord, the fake Mass Effect fans disease is spreading coz WHY would anyone skip Mass Effect 1!? Honestly I feel this is an issue with gaming in general. People see evenba shred of a game showing its age and suddenly it's not worth playing. Idiots.

  Dantics (@DanticsOfficial) reported 42 minutes ago

  @SaraJoan11 You're making assumptions for everyone that played it. Like I and many have said, there were other problems with the game competely outside Shepard and their legacy. Having legacy at all can artificially boost a game. Who's to say without the Mass Effect brand the game would have even burst out of obscurity? Just because you enjoy the game enough to make a twitter page about it, doesn't mean others can't seperate their bias and fairly judge. You can like what you like but condescending to me doesn't change the facts. The game was rushed out the door and by doing so, a lot suffered. The pacing was off, the story wasn't incredibly cohesive, the characters weren't as compelling as they could be, it was riddled with bugs and problems, there was no real consequence to choice, the open world structure wasn't developed properly, etc. If a game can't grow on it's own at release, it is not healthy.

  @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

  @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.

  @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

  Elana Fisher (@elanafisher) reported 48 minutes ago

  @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

  Kala Elizabeth (@kalaelizabeth) reported 49 minutes ago

  The problem isn't that the games are similar btw. It's the "is this mass effect 5?" "Is that tali?" "Where's the dialogue wheel?" comments from people who can't separate the two. People want Mass Effect I get but don't hate the game when it isn't that. Just play Mass Effect 😭

  @glowieboiz Morrowind. Mass effect just set up heaps of cool ideas and asked some interesting questions and then either did nothing with them or had the gayest possible resolutions. Which seems to be a massive problem with all modern media. Morrowind had a tolkinesque lore when you look.

  @nuhre_ The problem with a long running series where "choices matter" is that eventually the game will just buckle under the weight of all the different options. Same thing happened with Mass Effect.

  @AlmsiviSimp I think i'd like to see it "remastered" the same way mass effect was- have more consistent graphics through the cutscenes, fix the ports, declutter some of the combat, and have all 3 games in 1

  @gerogeroR I think a sci fi that actually shows the difficulty of a multispecies federation that doesn't gloss over the trouble caused by distinct life would be interesting. Mass effect got the closest but they still showed things mostly functioning normally on the citadel.
