The same year PC version came out. The pirated copy I had had a faulty crack that caused Galaxy Map to just be a black screen(some say it was released by the devs themselves), I was hooked up pretty bad that I bough a physical copy. The rest was the love fading when I found out how fucking repetitive it was and trying to get to the end as soon as possible. Didn't care about the ending song because I was hitting esc like possessed the moment credits started because of the frustration over the repetition and that joke of a endboss fight. It was only years later I heard it properly when I was watching a streamer jaming to it.

Holy fuck german Wrex. Also the German voice actor for Shepard sounds ridiculously like a German Mark Meer what the fuck. Doesn't seem like a bad effort at all.

why did you finish the game if you didn't enjoy it

Notice I said BOUGHT. The store I bought it from had a no-refund policy for ANY opened products.

Yeah damn that sounds like Mark Veer, and Sovereign sounds good too.

It would make sense if Reapers were dumb robots with faulty reasoning to carry out their task. I had problem with synthetics vs organics thing from the start desu. First game should have been the end of the Reaper story and then we could have had Sheps shenanigans in Terminus and other parts of Galaxy doing Specter shit. And more galactic politics.

I do, I'm just mocking what the glory of ME1 sovereign's speech turned into by ME3

I love my cute, autistic sister!

2 is garbage

Is ME1 worth a replay Yea Forums? I rented it for a few days before ME2 released and I enjoyed it but I rushed and didn’t get to fully experience it. At the time I didn’t really care for the graphics or the reading and dialogue with side characters etc. But I think if I were to play through it again I would take my time with it and try and soak everything up. I also never ended up playing ME3 but I really enjoyed 2.

Would it be worth it to give EA my shekels again?

I have Andromeda installed on my PS4 after I bought it on sale and I need to get around to playing that as well.

Thank God. You have to know when it’s time to just put a sick old dog down.

Pirate it, it does a great job at establishing the franchise.

No, my Shepard is a Spacer who had the concepts of honor and duty instilled upon him by his parents from birth - these things were never lost to him even after he suffered the devastating loss of his entire unit on Akuze.

We all joked that MW would became a nostalgiafag series for Yea Forums kiddies at some point and it actually did

Based but I didn't play 3

Look up the mass effect nexus, there are some mods there. Don't think ME1 had much, but there's some for ME2 and 3.

>17
thats it? i thought it was a huge space opera rpg? does that mean literally just blazing through the main quest?

Mass Effect died with 3, was resurrected and shot in the head again with Andromeda.

Raising it from the dead again would be beating a dead horse, and the product of its resurrection would never be what you wanted. Just let it fucking die and rot in the ground.

Another ME game would just be as boring and sterile as Andromeda was. The story has no where to go, it's uninspired, uninteresting and so are the characters.

The only thing they could possibly do is a faithful remaster / re-release of the original trilogy, with a complete re-tooling of 3's story and ending in order to make it tolerable and final.

just the story, yes

If you actually explore and do sidequests it will be longer, but still probably won't break 30 hours unless you're retarded.

There isn't any. I have no idea what they're talking about.

Are we talking general love scenes or straight up sex scenes?

For love scenes it does some pretty well, and some poorly

MS published the original ME on 360. In hindsight, they probably should have bought Bioware outright when they had the chance. Might have worked out better for both in the long run.

Because the games are all terrible

I guess I am the only one who likes the setting and wants to see it continue. I feel like MEA could do better with a more focused story and more interesting squadmates. Its a whole new galaxy to salvage.

What was the setting besides 'some place in space'? Nothing there was interesting or memorable.

alright how much $ is it worth? full price or wait until sale?

This, somebody else can take up the mantle with a game that is like it in spirit but not the same game so they arent bound to this shitty universe

Well what about Shepard? He grew up in the colonies

He knows how tough life can be out there. His parents were killed when slavers attacked. He saw his whole unit die. He could have serious emotional scars

Every soldier has scars. Shepard is a survivor.

You'll be fine. There's plenty of ways to play even if you don't like one of them. Yeah, yeah. Best of luck.

Put off playing through the series because I read bad reviews about 3, but since I got Origin prime or whatever I decided to give them all ago, just beat 1 in about 40 hours and I have to say that I am pissed because I romanced Liara. Why did the game force her onto me? And who is the best romance in 2 for male shepard?

yea. i just meant that Shepard surviving is kind off a big deal. if you want "your" hero to survive and fuck up the reapers, then destroy is your only option left

Is there a graph showing how many people picked each ending?

I want to see how many retards completely fucked up their galaxy by picking the retarded Synthesis option

Bioware already went from 8 studios to the present 2 (Edmonton and Austin).

With sales this bad they're going to mothball the studio entirely. If they save the name, it won't be the same studio at all.

destroy is the only good option anyway.

I was listening to Dan Harmon's podcast "Harmontown" a while back and during one episode they started playing the main menu music from mass effect but no one on stage knew where the song was from. They all loved it and replayed it multiple times improving comedy over the top of it and it was too bad no one knew what it was.

"Fucked up" how?

God damn imagine being this much of a contrarian pussy.

>implying he was on the Citadel in the first place

Samara

Has any company ever willingly given up a studio to another one just because it wasn't profitable anymore?

>Why did the game force her onto me?
You could have told her to fuck off.

I thought I would get asshole points for that.

thats my take on the whole situation too. after the Leviathan DLC it was clear to me that peaceful coexistence is literally not possible with those machines. they have no conscience no empathy. literally Super-Predators

Mass Effect was originally an Xbox 360 exclusive. It was later then ported to PC by Demiurge Studios a couple months later, and Playstation didn't even get Mass Effect until Mass Effect 2 released.

ME1 was completely a Bioware/Microsoft Games Studios product, but then EA came in and swooped up Bioware and we got ME2 (and 3)

Microsoft not obtaining Bioware when they could was easily one of Microsoft's biggest fuckups.

Imagine how different the ME series could have been if EA never got their grubby talons on BioWare

>not wanting asshole points

>Tease that he survived. But purposely left open-ended so make your own headcannon
no, to keep the door open for sequels, and the other endings are not sequel compatible.

The only valid ending is destroy, anyway.

You have been dealing with the Reapers for years, have seen them kill millions, kill friends and colleagues, enslave entire races. And then you finally amass an army to kill those cyberbug monsters, and when they're about to get exterminated all of a sudden they're like "wait Shepard you don't understand" and try to trick you into becoming a robot so they can just control you as well.

Destroy is the best endings. Fuck the Geth, they're just robots. Also fuck EDI, you can just rebuild her. In fact, everything that would be destroyed can be rebuilt.

Yikes. You can feel the half-assedness in that. "Thank you for playing, don't forget to give us more money"

What made ME1 memorable to me was that it was OUR universe, and humans were part of that story. Earth existed, and there was all the lore of humans being the newcomers to the galaxy with established races and civilizations that already have a sort of interplanetary government.

That's what made ME1 and 2 (and lesser extent 3) interesting to me. I don't care about the Andromeda Galaxy. I don't care what happens there. I have no interest in it, and the plot is convoluted, boring and super convenient that the races had the resources to send all these massive starships to that galaxy despite there being zero mention of it in the previous ME games.

I just don't like the premise, the characters are trash, and the Andromeda universe is 100x less interesting than the Milky Way with the Protheans and reapers and whatnot. That said, the reapers are trash post ME1.

Why is she so perfect?

For me It's Halo 3 multiplayer right when it came out, my first time playing Mass Effect 1 and just being absorbed into the lore, worldbuilding and universe and nostalgic soundtrack. Exploring the Citadel for the first time and all the wonder of encountering these new interesting alien races and their culture, and aliens that actually looked like aliens not just people in costumes (outside of the Asari).

I miss what video games used to be.

The story is just okay. Cutscenes and dialogs are the best thing in the game.

Pisses me off when people talk shit about the first game because of "muh gameplay".
It has so much amazing world building and story potential that ends up going nowhere because Bioware changed writers. The best one in the series.
Mass Effect 2 shits on the story, but the quality of the companions, and the suicide mission make it a solid game.
Mass Effect 3 is garbage. Not just the ending, but the entirety of it leading up to the ending. DUDE LMAO SHEPARD 1V1S A FUCKING REAPER LOOOOOOL
Mass Effect Andromeda is better than Mass Effect 3, because it at least doesn't shit on a previously established franchise.

yeah i feel your pain dog, ME3 was pretty much marked the end of my bright eyed and hopeful teenage adolescence and the beginning of my bitter cynical adulthood. i felt betrayed and massively letdown, lost trust in people, and learned not to be excited for anything ever again.

I just finished watching a well articulated video on Mass Effect Andromeda. Beyond the memes and EA is bad face criticism, this was a breath of fresh air. How early the project started, who left and who remained and at what time, plus the deconstruction of the plot.

In all its a mediocre game that's one poor Star Trek episode stretched out to 20 hours. And the writing was cornered by refusing to step back into ME1, 2, 3 Milky Way due to 3's ending. Great video analysis, learned a lot. m.youtube.com/watch?v=D12n35evy0Y

Tuchanka would be better if there was an actual moral choice there even when Wrex is still alive.
Rannoch could have been improved by not pushing geths as pacifist dindus and forced you to make a choice instead of letting you use the colored text to make everyone friends.
Despite those shortcomings I still find those two story arcs good. They delivered satisfying pay-offs to side stories that were built up over the first two games.

Man I realy enjoyed watching raycevick videos about mass effect, he's right about everything.

I enjoyed Andromeda over 1. One's gameplay just drags it down that much.

Im not even sure why everyone likes me2

ending screens at the end of missions like a fucking arcade game
streamlining equipment was ass
streamlining level system was ass
all of a sudden guns have clips
everything that happens in the game is completely irrelevant
last boss is giant terminator

only good thing from me2 is legion and he is only available for a small part of the game before its over

>expecting third person shooter polish from a crpg developer
1's gameplay is perfectly acceptable on its own and moreso satisfying and fun as part of an rpg.

>retard ME2 fan.

1 > 3 > Andromeda > 2.

Spotted the rpgfag

You can either enjoy your companions and their personal missions that also contribute to the overall world building and approach suicide mission without save & load attitude and actually letting characters stay dead if you fucked up or you can nitpick irrelevant things like UI and changes to gun.
Your call.
ME2 is still an incredible experience.
Except the final boss. I prefer to forget about it.

Mass effect released over 10 years ago. Even if he started working at 12, he wouldn't be a zoomer.

Kill yourself.

Are you retarded? Me1 came out in 2007 and no 7 year old will have a job

Graphics mods not working due to file checksums not matching with retail, steam or origin versions.

>ME1
i assumed it was me3 because they used me3 art. me1 ending is fine, disregard that post.

I'm pretty indifferent because ME is already in the past. I liked 2. I gave you the reasons why.
You're the one chimping out over someone liking something you don't.

wasnt there already like 2 other threads with the exact same image, text and first few replies some days ago? you're giving me deja vu

I hated how you had to complete NG+ in ME to be able to hit level 60 and get your ME2 bonus. I did however complete each and every side quest so I was pleasantly surprised to see them brought up in ME3.

>no spectre adventures throughout the galaxy

this series had potential. Fuck them

Well it came out just as I was finished with school, then I joined the army so I didn't really have time to play it.
Then when I got injured at the end of 2009, I had a lot of time suddenly so I played it through with my first character, and immediately after the fucking sweet credits I replayed with a new character, and then a third one after that. Just to see what I missed and what choices I could change.
Then ME2 (not to be confused with #metoo) came out about 2 months later and holy fuck I was annoyed at the changes in gameplay and dark looking graphics, but I liked it.
My favorite part though of the entire series is still talking to Vigil and hearing that fucking amazing music.

That's a retarded post you've just made.

This is true. I never got to play in a squad of just Geth Juggernauts, I always wanted to. Krogan squad was fun, though. Every time someone got a kill we'd all headbutt in solidarity and every time a round was over we'd heavy melee. There was a lot of "HRAGH" going on.

Vigil's theme really captures the melancholy atmosphere of Mass Effect. I can't be the only one who felt there was something very sad at the core of the world in ME1.

I want to fuck Saren

I think people gloss over the fact that the biggest tragedy about the whole Mass Effect situation was how unique it was. We will NEVER get a game like it ever again. A space opera where you create your protagonist, develop relationships, make choices that carry over to the next game, a rich and creative setting, all that. We will never see it's like again. No other video game developer will make something like it.

Mass Effect was a failed experiment. As such, other devs will shy away from making a game series like it. Bioware had one shot to make something truly special, and they fucked it up. It is one of the greatest cases of ruined potential in gaming, that still bums me out to this day.

Fuck EA and fuck Bioware for destroying something so fucking beautiful.

Mass Effect: Frontier

A bunch of centuries after ME:A
You play as a rugged sheriff in a backwater desert planet; krogan twin-brothers for deputies
Culture and faction relations have stagnated into a weird lull
Milky Way colonists have reproduced into viable populations across the Heleus Cluster
Unreliable narrator-type mythos; the Ai was success, many species came, stuff happened, remnant tech, friends/enemies kinda coexist, pathfinders are a distant legend
Fuckery ensues and you fuse with the last remaining SAMnode like ME3's green ending
Stuff happens and you try to usher in a new age of hybridization with AI inadvertently pushing evolution forward
Expand outside the cluster, discover remnant wonders and mythos; they too were hybridized, there's more to it than meets the eye
Reintroduction of larger-than-life villains to the ME universe; remnant purists who have turned themselves into perpetuals-gone-mad from their incessant rejuvenation cycles

Phrased it perfectly why I love ME1 so much. Everything, the world, the comrades, the plaets, missions and the story in general as well as the villain's story.

Yeah they essentially sent all gays to andromeda even if a few escaped like cortez

True, Mass Effect had a special feeling to it. And now it is lost.

I didn't mean that. The Protheans as a spectre (pun unintended) that haunted the entire galaxy is just a single aspect of this. I really can't explain it, I just know that when I play the game I feel as if there's a sense of, well, like I said, melancholy to it.

Other devs would've been hesitant to make a game like that, because creating a trilogy where your choices carry over is a huge task. But the fact that Bioware fucked it up, will only repel devs even further.

As such they best we can ever hope for now, are one off Rpgs that are like it. For example, Cyberpunk 2077. It'll probably be a great game, but it won't be a trilogy where your character and choices carry over.

There's also the reputation. The breeding of BioWare, and the reputation of it combined with Black Isle, has given it an "if they can't do it, what chance to we have?" air.

When was the last time we even got a trilogy with the same MC telling some huge epic continued story that was planned out from the start?

I remember when moot (not Hiroshima) changed /v to Tali Yea Forumsas Normandy.
The hype after ME2 hit was insane.

I was just joking. The Vigil fit the theme Protheans of ME1, a species wide genocide by a uncaring, unfeeling, unstoppable force.

All the "romances" in 1 and 2 are cringe garbage.

They're just hacks it works fine when you don't end the series. Dragon Age carried over choices to sequels despite playing as different characters in each one.

BIotics accelerate the dark-matter entropy, so all civilizations that would develop biotics or have the capacity to need to be wiped out. Still no real reason why it can only happen once every 50,000 years though.

good

There was a teleporter. That's how you got on.

Most tragical moment of the entire series.
He should have won or you should have been able to save him. Also, both endings would have prevented ME2 and 3 so that's another benefit.

>Mass Effect was a failed experiment.

No, it was a failure in writing by Casey Hudson prompted by EA meddling. The format of the game was great and the series made a lot of money but the franchise is an unsalvagable mess because the writers destroyed the entire setting in Mass Effect 3.

That's why they moved to another galaxy in Andromeda because they wanted to side step the bullshit ending of 3. Andromeda itself failed because Bioware is a husk of a company that lost all its talent years ago and is no longer capable of producing a game of Mass Effect 1 or 2's quality. The concept of a space RPG series and the gameplay style of Mass Effect is still a good concept though and another talented company could succeed with it.

The only way Mass Effect could be saved is if Bioware got its talent back or the franchise was sold to another company and they proceeded to re release the trilogy with a new ending for 3. There's no way to get past an ending that fans of the series hate and that destroys everything good about your setting.

Shit. Gonna get my 360 down from the attic and replay ME1.

They were a vibrant culture that covered the galaxy end to end. Their time was not at an end, they were snuffed out by something incomprehensible.

I felt bittersweet but fulfilled after I finished the trilogy. I'd love to see more but sometimes we shouldn't.

I mostly liked reading the descriptions some were really fascinating or creepy. Survey missions not so much it's clear that the technology wasn't there yet so it was always one of three types of settlement but it was always great when we got additional extended dialogue scene that made it look like a proper side mission (like the Rachni assault).

Diablo Immortal is a very different play experience. The tactics and strategies we employed to market this game is a sheer folly for anybody to attempt.

Wait, is the franchise officially dead? I mean, I really really hated Andromeda and it's probably the worst space themed rpg I've ever played with zero redeeming qualities (they even managed to make the decent combat shitty since you fight against the same enemies over and over in the same shitty basic environments), but I liked ME 1 and 2 (and a huge majority of 3 including it's story DLCs that should've been in the main game since they are integral to the overall plot, excluding the Citadel one) a lot so it's kinda sad. I still hoped that Karpyshyn and Hudson team up again for a better entry, I didn't know that one really horrible game is enough to kill a franchise that had overal critical praise and decent sales before that three times in a row.

I think in a lot of ways it was the best but I certainly felt that it was where the gameplay relied too much on endless shooting. More than in other ones.

Any game that won't let me save Nihlus is irrelevant for me anyway.

This is nothing new. Seriously this was almost always the case.

Management wanted to cash out. Notice how all the bioware bigwigs were gone within a year? The founding doctors went back to practicing medicine and one opened a vineyard. Vineyards aren't cheap you know!

What's with the stuff about him being a war criminal that came up in later games? That was weird.

Bioware says it's officially alive and in production. Anthem may kill the studio, though

How are they doing, sales-wise?

Shit, I could understand talifags somewhat since Quarians were hinted to be mostly human-like in appearance. But I really can't understand why so many people apparently want to fuck a dinosaur/crustacean hybrid so badly.
How would it even work? Even in best case scenario you'd probably bleed out after accidentally slicing your dick off with some sharp edge down there.

I want to pound Tali

Sentinel
Earthborn
War Hero
Assault Rifle bonus talent

Why, because it was best one?

Sharp edges. Risk of chafing. Recommend oral intercourse.

They recently said again that the ME franchise is "defenitely not dead" or something along the lines so there is hope for another game.
How GOOD that game will be is another question. I want another one and I would play it, but I refuse to get any hopes up that it might be anything like ME1 and I doubt even more that it will have characters that I like as much, let alone that the ones I might like will have any sort of own route or anything. I personally fear another human centered game with a lot of mainstream pandering and a more "humorous" attitude like MEA and less like the melancholic atmosphere ME1 had.

Wasn't it in 1 that anderson tell you how saren blew up a factory full of workers/slaves or some shit in order to get the job done?
Also, wrex tells you how saren sanitized a bunch of mercs he had hired

He was a war criminal in the first game.

The worst case scenario would be that Turian males actually have naturally detachable penises that grow back after use. Females have specialized serrated cutting and holding appendages to facilitate semen extraction.

The idea that we're not getting any more ME games is foolish at best. Not only is it an overall critically acclaimed franchise but its also a billion dollar one. We WILL be getting more ME games. They just probably won't have Bioware attached to them.

>Implying I don't want to fuck both
I like Xenos I would fuck a fem krogen if it were a choice between her, an asari and human girl.

Best female character but she's built to be a little sister type of character. It was hard to turn her down in ME2. If only she was available since the first game.

Male turians are objectively more sexually attractive than females. Though that feels wrong to say, since it implies female turians are attractive at all

Anthem appears to be an abysmal failure based on what we know so far.

:( RIP. "You're a queer fellow!" will be one of those random sound effects I hear in my head until the day I die.

it is my guy. it has the saddest skill trees of ANY ME game including andromeda. its plot is a glorified side quest, that shouldve been focused on the reaper invasion. most of the missions are just recruiting people/helping them with their daddy issues. planetary mining. mako replaced the worst missions in ME, those firewalker missions. the only good thing about 2 was the Normandy looked sleek af in cerberus black, white, and gold.

Sorry, but Drew's ending was just as bad, if not worse, than the one we got. Only difference lies in the Reaper's motivations. Fuck off and stop pushing this, because it was never true.

Why tf did EA thought "Hey, do you know who would've been great making a Destiny rip off just in 3rd person? The guys who made rpgs with classic D&D rule systems and needed Epic games helping them out for good dynamic shooter gameplay in ME3! They're totally qualified for this job. Just throw 300 million at them and tell them they should remove everything that makes people want to play their games."

It's like they WANT to kill the studio with full force. I googled the director for Anthem, it's "some guy". They literally gave a 6 years project and a couple hundreds of millions to "some guy". Do you know what he did before that? Live service portions for ME3. They didn't even bothering putting someone in the leading role who has at least SOME experience.

probably, I also like the krogan nail gun

They run well on the ps3.
ME2 on the ps3 actually runs with an improved version of UE3, the one used for Gears 2.
Original ME and ME2 on the 360 and PC run on the old build of UE3

Saren or Nihlus? Nihlus was always cool, he was recruited by Saren and might have been his friend, he just had a hard time being respected earlier in life due to his origin.
Not sure how crazy Saren was, I only remember that he got shit done and was rather ruthless. I am talking about him when he was still "normal", during the Human/Turian war. Not his later, reaperfucked version.

You've gone too far.

The female turians crave the human phallus

The way bioware writes dialog feels like it changed a lot in recent years. Like, in Andromeda and Anthem all the characters are so fucking smarmy and I can't stand any of them. It's like bioware wants them to be characters from a marvel movie but they can't pull it off at all.

Sales are shit but I am curious if Origin pay2play thing hasn't made it worth it.

That being said Anthem is the first bioware game I haven't bought right out of the gate in a while. Who the fuck asked for a looter shooter from a company that is known for creating CYOA games?

Things happen for reasons that we don't understand that go back to taxes and shit like that. You could possibly even be correct.

Fugg

I would say with Ryder they can kind of get away with it with him being like what 25 or something? I saw dozen of Ryder's in the IDF.

Maybe Sovereign was just mad and invented his own bullshit in the ultimate act of cope ever.

IDF?

Damn lads /meg/ is active tonight.

Isreali Defence Force

Hahaha. Imagine thinking anything is serious. Like, just snark the boss to death. XD

Sadly, no matter their appearance, all humans in ME have human motivations and human-like behavior. Vetra herself was just an insecure big human girl in a monster suit.
It would be REALLY interesting if alieness would somehow come up in dialog and behavior as well, and THEN there would be an attempt at romance.

this
Allegedly and according to conspiracy theories, EA intentionally sabotaged TitanFall 2 sales so Respawn would be in a tough position financially and be recessive into being bought by EA cause that would be the only route for Respawn to take since they had no money thanks to TF2 poor sales, a lot to do with terrible release date and marketing.

EA sabotaging studios and games for hidden agendas is a credible thing

Knowing that it takes almost no time for the Reapers to simply fly to the galaxy, the entire plot of ME1 is just comedic. They really fucked up the sequels.

And nothing of any significance ever came about from the reveal that Protheans fucked with humanity.

They did?

The problem of ME:A wasn't that it had none of the old characters (which wouldn't make any sense anyway in the setting and their arch is basically fully told) or that it was humor based, the problem was that it had nothing of the stuff bioware games normally had, like being able to be the second coming of christ or literally Hitler, a story that at least TRIED to be engaging and good characters with actual in depth personalities. And it had a shitload of SJW pandering, and even if it's a meme, none of the Bioware games really had shit like that. You had a lesbian in Kotor which you only can know if you hit on her (if you didn't kill her at the very first time you meet her), the gay pilot in ME3 who didn't bothered anyone and he didn't introduced himself with "Hi I'm gay" and the tranny in Iron Bulls squad in Inquisition who only tells you that after you know her since 10+ hours and she says to you "Yeah, I pretending being a man, can we skip that subject please?".

But Andromeda? "HI I'M TRANS" and fucking discussions about gender pronouns.

Javik slipped your neanderthal greatmom his prothean d

>"Yeah, I pretending being a man, can we skip that subject please?".
That's not how that conversation went.

There should have only been two mass effect games and the second one should've taken place centuries after ME1 and been about the Reapers finally arriving.

>the gay pilot in ME3 who didn't bothered anyone and he didn't introduced himself with "Hi I'm gay"
Except one of the first very things he felt he had to talk about to his new commander was his husband. And he never stopped about it.
I guess the potential gay romance option had to be declared somehow. It wasn't what I'd call subtle, though. But then again none of the romances in the ME series were.

>Allegedly and according to conspiracy theories, EA intentionally sabotaged TitanFall 2 sales so Respawn would be in a tough position financially and be recessive into being bought by EA cause that would be the only route for Respawn to take since they had no money thanks to TF2 poor sales, a lot to do with terrible release date and marketing.

This is nonsense though, because Respawn as an entity wasn't worth anywhere near the amount of money this cost EA.

Does anyone have that video where it records the amounts of "Enemy is everywhere!", "go go go!" And "I will destroy you!" In a single engagement?

>the potential gay romance option had to be declared somehow
what about having it happen organically through conversation? traynor was almost as bad with casually mentioning how much she wants to fuck edi in your first conversation.

Have all your choices be ultra-long term (also gives them an easy out in that some choices stopped mattering ages ago, but here's a text box), and have a Matriarchal Liara remembering Shephard and all the others.

It was weird that in ME3 the galaxy became so much more gay. I kept my distance.

Respawn still had value as a creative studio with talented people. It has value for potential IPs and TitanFall was popular enough for EA to have an interest in it as a first party franchise.
And costs? The money for TF2? I doubt TF2 was a big investment for EA and the price for owning another studio, another IP and a group of talented people, the creators of CoD, was more than fair in the eyes of EA

Well I didn't neccessarily mean old characters, just characters I like. Hell, I wouldn't wonder if there were more people interested in Nihlus like that user above than in most of the relevant side characters in MEA that are part of the game from the beginning to the end.
I don't like that SJW stuff either but this would be the least of my problems or is just part of another problem, and that's unrealistical dialogue. Same shit with the humor part, that's why I mentioned it. ME1 just felt so real to me, so serious, but without ever being outright edgy or tryhard. In MEA everything felt like one of these typical hollywood movies to me that want to alure the biggest possible audience and say "fuck the plot, let's do more funny scenes and quotes and meme dialgues fans want to hear" and it pisses me off because that shit is one of the reason for why I hate most modern cinema movies. SJW is just part of this big pandering and don't-make-it-too-dark/sad/complicated/serious problem.

But what reason to they have for Bioware? They already own the fucking studio and ALL their rpgs who at least tried to be rpgs were financial successes. They tried to force Bioware in a completely different direction with Andromeda and Anthem and both flopped massively, meanwhile Inquisition, which is based on classic D&D role playing systems and is a hard game if you aren't experienced in the genre, was a massive success both critically and commercially.

Plus respawn are releasing Jedi:Fallen Order soon, placed in December which is star wars season

Sorry but this is tinfoil hat stupidity territory. It's just not believable to an intelligent person; the motives don't match up with reality.

Forever War will never be on the big screen because of all the forced homosexuality stuff. I know Ridley's trying but I can't see it happening.

visceral and maxis were also creative studios with talented people, look how that turned out.

>playing ERA Effect

I hoped that this side quest had some importance on the sequels since the text seemed to be built up on that idea.
Like the dark energy stuff, it got completely ignored and never was mentioned again.

Well knowing him he wouldn't be faithful to the original reaction to that situation that was pretty much "I'm tolerant and all but fuck you weirdos".
