I would love for bioware to just go complete opposite of SJW.

Commentary on the dangers of letting in dangerous religious zealots and refugees. How traditional genders roles are benefit society and trannies and faggots lead to the downfall of degenerate societies. Tells the story of an extra violent race and getting rid of them completely let's the rest of the world live in peace. And lastly how men are the dominate sex and clearly are the ones that lead to advanced scientific, medical, and peace.

Had nothing to do with the main plot, same as Dorian's self-insert social commentary side quest. I have yet to see a Bioware game with any sort of hamfisted social commentary in the main plot. They usually just have shitty plots and that's that.

They did have the mcguffin.
Also humans being the only ones able to defeat the ancient evil most of the time boils down to the fact that they're outsiders, they have better tech or just wanting to fuck shit up and get treasure back home. Most of the time it's the combination of three.

The thing with Mass Effect 3, and to a lesser extent Mass Effect 2, is that it's not just a shit game. If a game comes out and it's shit, oh well GG it's disappointing, we move on and hope for a better sequel.

The thing with Mass Effect is it wasn't just a bad game, it felt like a betrayal. You're set up with all these choices in ME1, all these characters in ME2, and the underlyign promise is "IT'S ALL GONNA PAY OFF IN THE END" and then it just doesn't. It ruined the whole series for me, I can't play ME1 or ME2 without a little voice in the back of my head going "You know this doesn't matter at all, right?"

And it's weird, cause video games don't matter, so why would I care. I don't care when FF4 railroads me on a linear path, I don't care when Persona 3 does it, but those games didn't pretend like my choices would mean something in the end.

As a result, even if Mass Effect: Andromeda looked like the best game in the world and had everything I wanted in a game, I would still be suspicious as fuck and not trust Bioware at all.

Luckily there's no chance of that happening because Bioware are inept as fuck at doing social issues with any degree of nuance. Fucking Star Trek TOS managed more nuanced social commentary, and they had to cater to network execs going "NO YOU CANT HAVE A BLACK WOMAN, MAKE HER A GAY SPACE ALIEN"

It made some sacrifices in an effort to make it more accessible. The cover shooting was ok, global CDs homogenised every class into
> Cover shooter
> SPECIAL POWER
> cover shooter
> cover shooter
> SPECIAL POWER

it just turned the game into a cover shooter, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. ME3 could have improved on it, but it didn't, it just went further into appealing to the action crowd. ME2's story cut out a lot of choices, but the suicide mission flags were neat. If ME3 had had multiple suicide mission-esque missions where your choices affected the outcome significantly, it could have been a good evolution of the formula.

ME2 was the beginning of the end, but it wasn't awful like ME3 was.

>>
>>332913672
Cover shooting had nothing to do with anything. The combat and skill system was actually improved from 2 to 3, but anyone with a hard on for completely dismissing anything 3 did right will say otherwise.

The real problem is that the entire story of ME2 was poorly handled and overall irrelevant to the core conflict in the series meaning that Bioware had to not only start the Reaper war in ME3, but also deal with the Quarian homeworld, Korgan genophage, general diplomacy, tie up loose ends with Cerberus, give the fight back to the Reapers, and end the entire war all in one game. If the story was spread out through 2 games, there wouldn't be an issue or a need for a Deus Ex Machina.

Also the Suicide Mission was shit and you only needed about 3-5 characters out of your cast of fucking 12-14 to complete all the flags. The rest are just fire support which ANY GRUNT could have done.

All I wanted out of this game was to play races other than human. We've had three games to flesh them out, we're familiar with them now. We've even gotten the models and such working with player animations from ME3, but we're still stuck with a boring ass human protagonist.

I was kinda pissed they took out the fun biotic abilities like throw and lift though, you're pretty much all close-quarters without the crowd control options in ME1, but them's the breaks when you completely overhaul the combat for the worse

>The real problem is that the entire story of ME2 was poorly handled and overall irrelevant to the core conflict in the series
There is literally nothing wrong with this. It seems like the Mass Effect series wasn't supposed to be a big trilogy, but an ongoing story. ME3 should've been about the dark matter plotline that gets started in ME2 plus Cerberus stuff and a few other things, with ME4 being the culmination of everything up to that point. Reaper war, maybe Quarian/Geth conflict, etc. ME2 was less like a movie and more like a season of a TV show, and I think that Mass Effect would've been a great series if they made more games like that.

It's funny to see how /pol/ infiltrates fucking everything in this site.

You know that there's really no such thing as a SJW or a social agenda, right? If you took some distance from the issue you'd realize the terrible evil SJWs make up 5% of 1% of the world population, you're literally feeding them tears by reacting to them. The way to go is not take them seriously, like that "remove guns from Overwatch" petition. There's a reason "SJWs" never make it outside the videogame news outlets -- nobody fucking takes them seriously but us manchildren, we're their feeding ground.

> hurr durr SJW anticolonialist message

Colonialism is nothing to aspire to, it bled the colonies dry and led the colonists to World War I. This and the "hurr durr immigrents steal our womans" insecure, divisive small-dick rhetoric is literally why this whole world is cancerous.

Fuck you guys. We should be worrying about EA ruining the Star Wars franchise or Microsoft overpricing its hardware to fuck and back or Nintendo dying. But no, bitching about a game having LBGT elements in 20-fucking-16 AD is more important.

Fuck.

Not...really? The only real dropped-plot was the "Dark Energy" thing and Drew admitted they dropped it because they didn't like it.

I mean literally the shit in ME3 (including the ending) was building since ME1. I mean even read the fucking artbook. The whole reason the Geth are robots as opposed to Space Bats like they started as, was because of the 'growing theme of organic vs synthetic conflict'.

ME2's problem was a massive cast of characters on your team and not a lot of connection to them.

>>332914907
Why exactly did the series need to conclude at 3, and why couldn't they have built up the Reapers more and more as a massive threat throughout each game like they did with ME2?

And the fact that a plotline was introduced, however briefly, and promptly forgotten about is just stupid.

My hot take with ME1 and the Reaper/DE juggling is that the Reapers were more or less contained for now, and a mission to deep space to wipe them out while they sleep might've been on the table of a sequel, considering at that point, it was only the Citadel and the wake-up call via the Keepers that turned them on in order to steamroll the galaxy out of nowhere

Now we have ME2, where a new wake-up in the form of Collectors is introduced/created out of nowhere, and Reapers are capable of now traveling from dark space in a matter of months to cause the same amount of damage and disorder as if they invaded via the Citadel

I have a feeling the hypothetical sequel Drew mused on would've been what juggles the Reaper/DE connection, possibly as Reapers acting as malfunctioning servitors of the race that probably became the Leviathan, that takes the directive of preventing DE release from fucking the ecosystem up in the most extreme form, i.e. culling all spacefaring life to give the galaxy time to heal, with another plot branch dealing with the looming DE death of the galaxy in some other way

Again, it's pretty much just speculation, but that was more or less what it sounded like Drew wanted to do, but we'll never know, since he got sidelined with TOR shit and had to work with Mac

>>332915525
Except that's not what they were planning at all. Dark energy was supposed to lead to the eventual end of the universe or something and the Reapers were harvesting civilizations to find a perfect species able use biotics to stop the dark energy or they were harvesting these civilizations to stop them from speeding up the process. I think there was even a time travel plot planned where the Reapers traveled back in time to harvest civilizations to build up more Reapers to stop the dark energy. It was a completely retarded plotline to be honest.

Carnifex was a beast though.

Mass Effect was the responsible for the death of WRPGs.
It should've stayed dead at 3.

I mean, it's fine to like shit, but please accept that it IS shit. Broken, unrecoverable, disastrous and insulting shit.

and yet the gameplay was more fun and character builds actually felt different to each other.

Not that anon, but come the fuck on. I can agree with the rest but most of ME1's levels were either corridors (main missions) or the same three rooms with random shit scattered in them (side missions).

Not possible.
Political apparels are hijacked by jews and their globalists friends everywhere*.
Nukes will fly before countries become genocidally fascist, it's over.

*There's a blowback building up in Israël too, amusingly enough. Like the scorpion and the frog, they are dooming themselves. That's the one silver lining.


While the west will be gone before the end of this century, do not be too sad : technological civilisation will endure thanks to east asians.
Humanity still have a shot at spreading through the stars, we're just going to be more slant eyed than previously thought is all.

Not really.

This is kinda starting over though.

The story is about a colony ship that left the Milky Way galaxy between ME2 and ME3 just in case everyone died.

All the races merged into one. That'd affect these people too.
You can't just say they weren't affected.

>>332916464
Your opinion is completely correct. Personally I prefer ME1, simply because I hate cover-based shooters and ME1 was a lot better when you didn't use it at all, whilst in ME2 you can't play without it properly.

>>332916469
Should I get Overlord? Never played it.


>>332916483
Oh, shit. Mixed it up with the Predator.

But he had a carnifex. Turns a krogan head to mist in one shot.

It's more like /k/'s idolized version of .45
