The show will be bad no matter who is the writer or director, but here it is.

It never ends.

Don't worry, the writers view it as a punishment as well to be forced to write sci fi instead of whatever they care about.

That's not a big enough punishment. They all need to be impaled on those husk spikes.

The show is going to have FemShep, isn't it?

Ambiguous. Always referred to as 'Commander', 'Shepard', or 'they'.

[gerey]

whatever they care about

********.

One of the comments on this video pointed out how humanity as a whole should actually be more racist against aliens than they are, considering the First Contact War happened in Shepard's lifetime. Like, he probably remembers it; it happened when he was 8.

Anyway, Humanity First!

Yeah, right. 9/11 and a whole host of other terrorist attacks happened in our life time and yet entire Europe is drowning in hordes of arab rapists and the government is protecting muslims and jailing its citizens for daring to even speak up about getting raped and murdered in their homes.

The turian encounter was an actual military engagement and not terrorist attacks, it would(and seems to have) cause humans to respect the turians. Contrast how Americans name deadly weapons after injuns.

I liked the Illusive Man and I was so ******* ****** when they literally recycled the Saren script to get rid of him.

Libs wrote themselves into a corner because they realized he was right about everything.

Libs wrote themselves into a corner because they realized he was right about everything.

They wrote themselves into a corner twice over. First time with the ******** ending of ME3, and then by refusing to change it when people were willing to pay premium for them to do it, the justification being that it was about artistic integrity.

BioWare is a company run and staffed by imbeciles.

Then again, that should be obvious given that, when threatened with layoffs and studio closure, and having one chance to save themselves, they decided to make Veilguard.

Sewerslide Mission

[Xenich]

Andromeda wasn't anywhere near as bad as the yewtoobers said. It was probably the first game that got piled on for clicks, I guess?
Not saying it's good, but it's more like ... Idk, 6.5/10. It's definitely better than Inquisition which got slobbed on.

Afaik it was actually profitable, they just kneejerk reacted to feedback.

What made me steer clear of it was the faggotry. It has been a while, but I don't remember 1/2 having to deal a lot with **** hitting on you. When I got to 3, it turned my stomach to deal with that one *** and so when I heard rumors that Andromeda was much worse, I skipped it.

Bioware reminding everyone that they are still alive

Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe.

[DrSneed]

This is such unfortunate news

[Atlantico]

Yeah, right. 9/11 and a whole host of other terrorist attacks happened in our life time and yet entire Europe is drowning in hordes of arab rapists and the government is protecting muslims and jailing its citizens for daring to even speak up about getting raped and murdered in their homes.

Thank you (((America)))!

[Faceless_Sentinel]

The worst thing is that i know who exactly will buy next game despite previous failures. I bet bioware learned from pokemon devs and outsourced everything to India and production budget will be so low that all ******, ****, and ***** will buy that trash and help it to break even.

[Oyster Sauce]

Is there a mod that removes the Gayden scene? This will impact any theoretical future playthrough I do.

[wndrbr]

@Oyster Sauce the solution is to leave him on Virmire.

I would consider playing the game if there was a mod where you could get them BOTH killed.

There should be. I remember seeing one but that was literally a decade ago.

Should be easy to do this in the trillogy save editor at the very least, if there isn't a dedicatdd mod.

[TKVNC]

Having never played the games before, and recently finishing the 1st, I was optimistic for the other games, and interested in whether they could make a new one.

Having played 30m of the 2nd game, I no longer care.

Are people just lying when they said they enjoy the 2nd game? It's a simple downgrade in every way.

The plot of ME3 hinges on Ashley/Kaidan being alive. You won't be able to edit them out without an extensive rewrite.

It was made in the era of vidya being on the rise in the casual escapism sphere. The vast majority of people were much less critical of vidya in general and let a lot of things slide.
There's also a lot of social hype around it, with people doing the usual toxic positivity fandom thing.

I see a lot of people who criticise ME2 get dogpiled on, I suppose that tracks. It's a very Reddit game.

[Reichspepe]

I do still really like ME2. However it has a great amount of issues, not least of all the writing and dumbing down of skills and equipment management. Difference is I can say I like the game while acknowledging that. Most people think "I like the thing" = "It's good", which is of course a complete npc ****** take, but what can you do?

[wndrbr]

Are people just lying when they said they enjoy the 2nd game? It's a simple downgrade in every way.

it does some things somewhat better than the first game, but mostly at the expense of abandoning all ambitions. Like, ME1's combat is really bad and unsatisfying, ME1's rpg system is full of boring stuff like "+5% to rifle damage" or "+1 to shields", ME1's inventory is a complete dogshit, most of the side quests are boring, every uncharted planet you visit is boring and copypasted, etc etc.

ME2 rectifies most of those issues, but in doing so just turns into a dumb cover shooter. The thing is - a lot of people like cover shooters, and as far as cover shooters go, ME2 is fairly good. You play as a cool guy who shoots aliens, seduces hot chicks and does not afraid of anything - what's not to love?
