Biggest case of wasted potential in the industry.

I like how "zoomer" games keep getting older and older. Started with Fortnite and made it all the way back to me1

Technically the kid culture of Generation Z (Zoomers) can be traced back to when Ben 10 and the 360 came out.

>not Uncharted Worlds, science fiction distilled perfectly into a couple of minutes
Still decent though

What's up with the amount of retards nowadays who have no idea about when to greentext?

all they had to do was not have reapers. It couldve been a sci fi series about being essentially space 007, taking down a rougue agent, then investigating colony kidnapping and then dealing with wars and shit. They had to do the "ancient mysterious evil that we'll get around to finish writing someday" and poison what it couldve been

>get drew Karpyshyn back
>make indoctrination theory canon
>make red ending where Shep makes his last breath canon
>title the game "Mass Effect 4" and set it right after the third game
>"Shepard, after we took off you got blasted off by of the shielded marauders, you didn't get inside, they were trying to indoctrinate you it was all a dream. The war hasn't ended."
>let Karpyshyn do his magic and write a good plot with this premise
Did I just fix ME series?

no because ME2 and 99% of ME3 would still exist

ME 2 and 3 are inferior to the first game, but they aren't bad. All you need to do with 4 is less cover based shooter and more of an action-rpg again

After all the updates was this game at least playable?
Also ME1 best ME

Yes.
Boring story, bad animations in cutscenes, your choices have no consequences whatsoever since there's only one ending, but gameplay wise and the rest is fine.

asari don't actually need any penetration to reproduce

Hot take: Mass Effect was never that good.

No it's shit.
Whatever devs they are using do not know how to use Frostbite, they should just stick with Unreal.

It's not like they wanted to, EA just decided all their studios have to use frostbite. DAI was the first victim iirc

>90% of the time shooting and spamming abilities behind the same fucking cover the whole battle

God why did bioware go down the path they did...

Mass Effect 3 fixed that shitty combat system from 2 with smoke bombs, enemies who throw grenades, and those guys with shields.

>those guys with shields.
Yeah, a lot of good that does

t. infiltrator

"Going big" is usually a mistake, especially for a new setting you hope to make a franchise out of. ME2 with a tighter main plot is how the series should have been.

Because all the talent started leaving when EA bought them.

Singularity is better for those guys. On Insanity you can fuck around as Infiltrator.

ME1 had this... feeling, you know? It felt different than next games, more down to earth.
Whenever i want some ME, it's always ME1.

>we will never have an ayy protagonist thanks to normie tastes
fucking hell, I don't want to have to give a fuck about humans in sci-fi settings, they inevitably are the most boring and bland shit.
Give me a Turian main character, give me a Salarian, give me a Krogan, give me anything but another fucking human.

ME1 had the best atmosphere

Is it worth playing? I own 1 and 2. Is it too focused on conversations or is it a good balance of that and combat? Not really a fan of sitting there watching conversations for 75% of a game.

mass effect 1 is cut even
mass effect 2 is more combat and most conversation are optional
anyways the conversations are short, you have choices you can make that are cool and the dialogue is usually written pretty well and isn't pretentious or strung out

I do this as well user along with all of Metal Gear Solid.

1 and 2 are good. 2 is more action-focused, but in a way that I think detracts from the game. It's also an awful sequel in terms of continuity and is rather schlocky. If you get easily bored then 1 is maybe not the best game for you.

Better than ME1, nostalgia nigger. Mass Effect 1 is shit.

I think I might have to play through the trilogy again once Spring hits. There's just something about ME that goes well with that feeling of the warm breeze blowing in through your window, and the sounds of crickets and frogs outside.

I don't know why, but out of every single character in the Mass Effect trilogy, I always pick The Illusive Man as my favourite. Maybe it's because of based Martin Sheen styling all over the rest of the cast, or how well he was written as a tragic villain trying to do the right thing but ended up destroying the one thing he held believed in the most.

Why? Every game they've released in the past 8 years has been awful.

You can't deny it, ME2 had some bangers

The dead reaper and the shadow broker were the only interesting parts of ME2. The collectors were dumb, Cerberus being a galaxy spanning superpower was dumb, the human reaper was dumb, all of the followers plot lines were dumb.
The game's plot was just dumb.

The DLCs would have been better if they weren't bogged down by the main game.

rannoch was ok, the problem is that there is no real decision to make because saving the geth is superior in every possible way to destroying them

agree with tuchanka

the reapers where a great way to move the plot forward and create interesting diplomatic situations. they fucked up when they made the reapers anything more than a clear evil villain that you just had to kill

Andromeda is actually a better game than ME3 and ME2.

ME2 had better sidekicks but had horrible gameplay. Andromeda has better gameplay but the side characters are all dogshit.

They even made the new alien character gay after release because faggots kept complaining.

Why don't more RPGs do this? Let you choose from a couple of scenarios instead of having a headcanon.
It would let the writers actually make some interesting dialogue that plays into the character's backstory, instead of having to write really broad, general stuff so it won't contradict with whatever the player is projecting onto the protag.

What home? Military families only stay where their next assignment is. There is no "home" to these people.

ME3 tried to explain the infinite troops bit: they just use Reaper tech to make semi-husk troops from untrained refugees.
Other than that, it was really conflicting: a very small organization with unnamed donors as the main income, yet they can blow infinite cash on replica starships and resurrection projects? Come on.

If you played the DLC they actually do but since they were 1st made they just live in space since then.

I actually really feel bad about all the talented people Bioware had or still has that made this trilogy possible, and all the other good games they made in the past. It must really suck knowing you've been making something special that people loved adn have it all taken away from you.

Still pisses me off how they had a simple but interesting heat mechanic for the hi-tech guns you could modify for your own purposes in the game, but in the sequels they jettisoned essentially having infinite ammo for a "heat sink" mechanic where your gun becomes completely useless if you don't have enough ammo, I mean heatsinks, to use it. Sure is tactically superior.

Then they had the audacity to give the people who disliked the dumbing down of the gunplay the finger through their pathetic wannabe character that Shepard interacts with.

Passible in the relative context against ME1 gameplay.

That might have been good, but honestly, I think they needed a character on your team from the previous ME games - somebody to "ground it" that this is part of ME.

Otherwise, the game is entirely disconnected to the franchise.

Well given the time frame of when the Initiative left (inbetween 2&3), who would you say should have been in the squad that was in ME 1/2 and wasnt in 3?

Maybe the Noveria Spy Reporter lady? I know she was on Ilium in 2, not sure if she was in 3

Gianna Parsini? No, she's not in 3

It's a difficult choice.

Maybe Sidonis (assuming you didn't kill him)? He certainly has a reason to get away and isn't that close to Shepard to be lore impacting.

I feel you bro. When the game came out and I played through the Suicide Mission for the first time I reloaded it so fucking often until I got everyone through. I played on release, back then it created an auto save at the start of the mission, can you not use this? First choice is who to send through the vents I think

Blame that on the iron curtain, my man.

Miranda and Jack?

For some reason my save, even when restarting, has everyone already picked up and can't change anything. I guess I'll just play the old save on a few months when I forget how long it takes to do all the things I did up until that point.

Mordin and Legion I think. I don't know, I went full retard.

If you lost them because of missing loyalties or ship upgrades, then you're fucked no matter what you do. Might as well go way back and prepare better.

Mass Effect was the perfect game for 14 year old me
Also driving on the planet surfaces for the side missions was comfy as fuck. There wasn't anything there, but it looked great and the music was good, too.

I lost Legion and Miranda.

ME1 AND ME2 ARE SO FUCKING GOOD GODDAMNIT

That would've unironically been good apart from the very end, but you know that already

There's a lot wrong with the Mass Effect games, but the very worst thing they did is railroading you into being either full paragon or full renegade by having the dialogue options be based on how often you chose paragon or renegade before that. Whoever made that decision needs to leave the industry forever and I still don't know how they didn't change that shit all the way through (at least until 3, I haven't played Andromeda)

ME3 is better than ME2

>ywn have a collector gf that will say "assuming control" while she rides you cowgirl style

Pleb opinion.

ME2 was a CHILL AF game, no constant end of the world pressure, alot of interesting environments to explore and do stuff in, with all sorts of different companions. ME3 was just constant "end of the world" forced bullshit.

Best track coming through.

I never got the hype for 2. That was literally the first game I can remember that I was hyped for and incredibly let down on release. I don't get how now everyone holds it up as the best of the Mass Effect games. I actually agree with that 3 was better. Sure, the ending was shit, but so was the ending for 2, or don't you remember the giant retarded Terminator-looking boss?

The writing in ME3 is abysmal and the gameplay is also inferior

>ME2 is good because it completely ignored its own storyline

Says it all, really

Exploring the ME universe with low-intensity storylines is much much more interesting than the fucking Reapers end of the world bullshit

The ending is a red herring. Most of Mass Effect 3 was shit too.

TIM is very successful, in only a few years he accomplished that

Not really, without her loyalty there's plenty of opportunity to kill her off.

Yeah, I'm gonna pick that game up again as soon as I'm in the mood to scan planets for five fucking hours. At least driving around on the planets in 1 looked nice.

That track really homes in that feeling of arriving back on the Citadel. I can see it now, stepping off the elevator, just hearing news about Exogen.

Sure, but so was most of 2. Just because I said it's better doesn't mean it's good.
But to give credit where it's due, 2's opening sequence was fantastic. It's the first game I remember that nailed the cinematic look.

Bullshit, unless you're an extremist you can easily not the loyalty level required for the standoff with Jack.

Heard this played live by an orchestra, shit was pretty lit not gonna lie.

there was no exploration though, and the combat was dogshit gears of war, ME3 had better weapon customisation and movement at least. None of them can hold a candle to ME1 though
Gameplay at least was great in ME3, ME2 didn't have gameplay, story, or exploration. I think the characters is why people actually like it

Your arrows point the wrong way.

I agree that ME1 athmosphere is unmatched by any game I know of, on the same level as Dragon Age Origins, the two titans of single player games if you ask me. But ME2 is a very very good game still, even if the atmosphere is DIFFERENT fom ME1, it is a very good atmosphere

Do you guys remember the hilarious bit where the media complained about there being sex scenes and naked butts in ME1?

Funny how the exploration part became just more and more retarded as the series progressed.

ME1:
>drive around real planetary surfaces, explore and have fun
ME2:
>grind through all planets in boring scanner mode
ME3:
>just blip to find everything in this half of the solar system lol... but not TOO many timer or you'll switch to playing pac-man with reapers

>ME1 and DA:O
>two titans of single player games
Goddamn man, play some more games and get the fuck off Yea Forums until you're 18

You don't agree? Tell me some better single player games, no weeb bullshit please

ME2 is just too bland. Fighting nothing but mercs and mechs throughout the entire game it felt like, the cyberpunk-y feel and music of ME1 was gone
I actually prefer andromeda to 2 just because andromeda had gameplay more reminscent of ME1, though it was fairly bland as well

While I liked the exploration part in 1, I still understood why many people hated it. But still, it was hilarious how they managed to replace it with something worse every single time.

ME1 and DA:O aren't even the best games by Bioware, and neither of those game's atmosphere is a match to the atmosphere in something like STALKER. I feel like I was the perfect age for the ME games when they came out (I was like 15 for the first one) but they really are something to be grown out of.

I'd like a crippled old war veteran Shepard as the main character. The whole game would be about him limping around rebuilding era Earth yelling at young people, with his love interest from ME3 in tow. They'd be the classic old married couple constantly snapping at each other.

No.

Anyone else with the headcanon that Vetra is the daughter of Saren?

I'm going to second this and add that the exploration was decent, which is all I ever wanted out of this series. It may have been a bad game but at least it felt like it was trying to be a real sequel to Mass Effect.

Sounds truly comfy user.

See now that would be an interesting character reveal and give impact to Shepard killing him.

Gives her a good reason to get the fuck out of Milky Way.

It wouldn't, but it would be a way to tie it down to the ME story, whilst being a 100% common thing between ME players.

Well her "reasoning" is that Kesh asked her to get some things for the initative, and asked for some different things again and again, until she asked Kesh what it was about, then she "bought the sales pitch"

Worst Dextrowaifu

I would rather go Celibate Shepard than sleep with a space gypsy

Illusive Man was a great character concept but the bungling of the story ruined the character

If I remember right, doesnt the Levianthan dlc basically say that there were something even bigger and badder than reapers? That created the reapers using the leviathans? Like how collectors tried to create a reaper using humans.

Yeah it's the void but they retconned the story. Plus now there's Andromeda. IIRC it was supposed to be that our galaxy in particular got surrounded by a black mass of something and it infected the Leviathans which made them go out there and return as reapers becoming and thus the harvest/cycle of sentients happens.

>7 years later and talifags are still cancer

What do you mean by that? Or do you just like posting that?

Attached: 1547666967248.png (600x900, 568K)

The original idea was that a secondary main threat was "entropy", but this idea was dropped halfway through ME2 development

And my thought doesn't disagree with that. Given Turians are all about family honor and shit with being pseudo-Romans, likely Vetra and her sister had to leave their entire life behind after Saren falls into disgrace post-ME1.

Then making/faking a new life as who is going to carry the second name of a genocidal monster. Having to do that, probably makes you very resourceful and so her supply jobs for Kesh plays into that.

There is literally a line in the third novel, Retribution, in which TIM laments to himself in his thoughts that Cerberus projects an image of strength and being all knowing but that the truth is they are tiny by galactic standards with very limited funds that can't possibly hope to stand up to the real big fish in the galaxy if exposed.

Or just have it so she is his kid, but due to spectre rules etc he had to hide it, so her "father" is actually her adoptive father (however she believes this guy is her biological dad), which is why they left Palaven before she was 15, otherwise the military would find out she has the same genetics as Saren and that would get him in trouble

Then just have Sid as her "Sister", who is the daughter of the Adoptive father

To be fair that would probably break her, which would need to be comforted by Cuddling

I thought parts of it were still in ME2, i.e the sun on Haestrom?

Mind you this novel takes place six months before ME3 and in it TIM is experimenting with Reaper tech to understand indoctrination with the hope that he can learn how to prevent or even reverse it. He's concerned with the danger the tech poses however and so terminates the experiments early rather than risk anything getting out of hand. When his base gets attacked by the turians before the experiment can be purged he risks his own life to try and terminate the experiment himself rather than immediately escaping.

So yeah, consistency is anathema to any of the games post ME2

I can work with that.

And what if Sid knew that Vetra wasn't her real sister (but doesn't mention the Spectre part) and tells you in a later moment after you've committed to Vetra.

You then can also decide to tell Vetra or not, which can lead to the quest line of Vetra discovering her true father.

I think having every prominent character in subsequent games be related to characters from past games is lame. It makes the galaxy seem very tiny. There are billions of turians in the galaxy so what are the chances that you keep meeting members of the same family by random chance? It's stupid.

Mass Effect is a fucking terrible series and a perfect example of the shit that was the 7th gen

Are any of the comics or novels worth reading?

Attached: 1542395925961.jpg (1600x1024, 689K)

I don't know about the comics but the first three novels, which were written by Drew Karparshyn, are good reads if you like Mass Effect. They flesh out the universe a bit more. The first novel is about Anderson's mission with Saren then the latter two kick off ME2 and book-end ME2.

Revelation
Ascension
Retribution

I've heard good things about the latest novel that is a prequel to Andromeda; Annihilation. I haven't read it though.

It's about the Quarian Ark to Andromeda, which also includes batarians, volus, hannar, and drell.

The quarian captain engineers a plague that she intends to release in Andromeda to thin the numbers of the Council races so that the quarians will be dominant. It escapes early though and infects the ship and mutates, infecting everybody. In the end she is stripped naked and injected with the cure and walks around touching everybody until she dies in the high pressure ammonia rich volus habitat.

And this is why we should NEVER Trust a Quarian

Yes I'm sure the person responsible for Cerberus being like 80% of the enemies in the game would have done differently if they'd had the time to think of someone else to fight

Idiotic dream sequences? Time constraints. Day 1 DLC of a major, on-disc character? Also time constraints.

they had like 1 big patch that addressed some of the most glaring issues but support for this game was done in about 3 months. It's playable, but it's not good. The main story stinks, the cast is probably the worst bioware has ever put in a game, and all of the open world stuff is junk. They should have never abandoned the hub-based gameplay. Hopefully The Outer Worlds fills that niche.

Same.

The suicide mission was the peak of the ME series.

it was literally 3 rooms with cover shooting, a dumb boss battle and melodrama

lmao, no.

The peak was the climax of ME1.

i got some bad news for you user, pretty much every classic crpg was made be some sjw type.

You are a fucking moron if you think this.
The suicide mission from pacing, to music, cut scenes etc were all better than the final mission in ME1. Exactly what did that final mission do better than the suicide mission?
Saren's suicide was the only real cool moment.

no homo

Yeah what the fucking fuck is up with sheppard breathing and all the hints of indoctrination?

and? a lot of great rpgs let you defeat the final boss via dialog. no one ever shits on fallout for that.

I love ME1 and wish they would have stuck to that formula just made those random ass planets a little more defined / easier to find the unc missions.

Source is me. I can assure you is not that good, I'm still working on it.

The Suicide Mission is garbage. The final act in ME1 is way better. It's a better story, with better pacing, and higher stakes. I don't just mean the confrontation with Saren, I mean everything from Virmire through to the very end. It's a perfect rollercoaster and is executed perfectly. World shattering revelations, low moments of frustration and hopelessness, danger, new revelations that heighten the danger but increase your motivation and resolve, and an epic finale against an army and up the outside of a space-station for a final confrontation with your rival while the doom of the galaxy and all life as you know it is in imminent.

I feel like I'm the only person in the world that actually enjoyed the ME3 online. It was a simple horde mode, but it was fun and we at last got to play as different races.

Bioware is already gone. It's a shell of what it used to be

Imagine being such a contrarian redditor you think ME1 is bad

>still milking shepard like he's god damned mario

Sticking to Shepard was the biggest mistake the fucking series made and why we got stuck with goofy ass space jesus.

Hope you don't mind I shave that pic though, it's cute.

ME3's multiplayer gets routinely praised as being genuinely good even on Yea Forums, you must not be paying much attention to any discussion of it.

No, shit writers completely missing the point of what made Shepard special in the context of the setting is what gave us space jesus

ME1's ending was filled with balls to the wall moments, major plot/lore reveals and constantly escalating stakes. The suicide mission was alright but it doesn't feel anywhere near as climactic or exciting.

No problem, here's the full unfinished one if you really want. As I said, it's barebone with no background props.

shooting out the window of the elevator and running along the wall of the citadel was so cool. throwing geth primes across the space station because gravity was all fucked up. the final battle taking place in the spot you had first traded words with saren, killing him in the same room you once told him you would kill him in. even your squad pulling your ass out of the rubble. great ending to a great game.

traitorous gypsy bitch.

I love the series to bits but it's clear BioWare shit the bed continuously throughout every single one. Big ideas, constant fuckups.

ME1 = Huge ambition and intention in multi-choice questing and system hopping with complex rendering engine. Couldn't match their own scope and had to dial back the visual quality massively, quests complexity streamlined. Cumbersome development with UE3. Buggy. Had no long term vision of the Reaper plot, as were unsure if they'd get full funding for a trilogy.

ME2 = Regression of scope and game system detail in favour of accessibility and narrative variety. Had to cut massive portions of the narrative and dial back the total non-linear squadmate recruitment order. Retconned Cerberus. Had no real focus on what the Reaper threat would entail or climax with, instead seeding multiple "ideas" that could be developed later. Wrote in a suicide mission wherein every member of the core cast could potentially die, acknowledging they knew full well it would make profile import and NPC continuity a nightmare in ME3.

ME3 = Wrote themselves into a corner. Had massive ambition for the Earth assault being like Suicide Mission x10 in terms of game choices and influence. Cut all of it due to time. Left the actual ending writing until the very last minute, deliberately wrote it ambiguous, and had to patch in significantly more exposition for free.

MEA = Started off with hundreds of generated then hand tailored landmasses plus spaceship flying with intent for an "open cluster" to explore and land on every planet in some capacity. Complex character rendering variety for all species intended using nodes and texture generation to diversify every NPC no matter the species. Big focus on building survival gear to explore hostile wastelands. All of it cut, none of the tech worked, the team was in unfocused shambles, director fired, Walters begrudgingly moved to the project by upper management just to finish it in the last year or so with tons of outsourcing.
