THIS is how you manage and evolve a franchise.
>Original trilogy ends but series is still profitable
>Instead of doing "lel remastur" or milk original cast and retread same beats (fucking Halo, man), they plan on moving forward
>New Cast, New Ambitions, New Galaxy, New Races, New Enemy, New Stories to be told
>Literally infinite possibilities
>Opening up ME Universe
>Feel new yet familiar
What new things are you excited to see?
Nothing
>>338686852
The shilling begins
>>338686852
I wish they would have just settled on the destroy ending being canon and deal with the reprecussions of your actions instead
>>338686852
Go kill yourself you tasteless fuckface.
Nada.
They fucked up so bad, that they need to KILL EVERYTHING BESIDES THE NAME.
>>338687059
Which ending is canon?
I thought destroy was canon.
>>338687252
I haven't kept up with Andromeda so I don't know if they have actually canonized anything but I'd assume they're leaving the war with the reapers up in the air.
While this is certainly the best way to continue a wrapped up franchise, it doesn't matter because EA and Bioware don't have any talent left and Mass Effect 3 fucked the series so hard that even if they write their way out of it, no one will care.
>>338687252
>>338687059
Isn't the extended cut ending new canon?
Where you kinda just digitize yourself and control the reapers to make them rebuild civilization and act as galactic sentinels?
Aside from the lack of Harbinger I actually really like ME3.
Best combat(ME1 honestly feels as awkward as kotor or Jade Empire these days) and the illusive man was pretty neat.
The send off with Garrus was well donekai leng was gay though
>>338686852
How much do they pay you per hour? Or is it per post?
Hello shill, former Biowarefag here. Tell your faggot bosses the masses will be pirating your piece of shit game to spite them. Your former fans will buy your games again when you stop cutting corners.
>>338686852
I'm hype as fuck. I just hope they capture the feeling of adventure and exploration right. Plus it's a mass effect game so the combat and the dialogue will be great as always.
>>338686852
>Literally infinite possibilities
saved
>>338687710
I get 1hr of EA trial time for each post.
>>338686852
>retread same beats
It's literally ME1's plot in a different galaxy.
>>338687878
It's probably going to have denuva, which means it's probably another shitty game, which means I can ignore the marketing, skip the game, and move on to other more intriguing things.
>>338687515
>Isn't the extended cut ending new canon?
>Where you kinda just digitize yourself and control the reapers to make them rebuild civilization and act as galactic sentinels?
That's only one of the three possible endings.
>>338686852
Sorry but this game is going to be shit, I will give it a try but man we all know that its going to be fucking horrible.
>>338690447
if /v/ say its shit then it will be good
I had hopes they they would drop the romance shit and LBGT pandering. I figured that wasn't happening after seeing that bioware dev being openly racist against white people on twitter.
>>338690240
nice try, but your meme damage control won't work.
>>338690812
it's going to be good. it's mass effect.
>>338686852
>Shits on Halo
At least Halo had 3, which was GOAT, before becoming shit. ME3 is 4/10, one of the worst AAA games I've ever played.
>>338686852
You earned my (you)
I want the game to have that space exploration feel like ME1.
>>338686852
Can't wait to play as the first transgender main character in gayming!!
I'll say this: If it manages to have good gameplay (I fucking hate 3 but it had OK gameplay) and the feel of 1, I'll fucking love it.
If it's an overextended, video-gamey, fanfic level piece of phoned-in trash story wise (3), fuck Mass Effect forever. This is Bioware's last chance and they better fucking realize it.
>>338686852
please
can't hold a candle to star citizen, a game in alpha with barely 2% of its content implemented
>>338691414
you want exproration?
too bad! here probe!
>>338686852
My shill-o-meter is going fucking crazy. Could you make it any more obvious?
>>338691308
I was referring to the new Halos retreading the same shit and being unoriginal
>lead writer was not only pulled from the project but completely left Bioware in the middle of it
So its obvious they were making him force SJW shit into the game but what do you think was the straw that broke the camels back? Trans main character? Planet of gays? Turning the Krogans into a race of homos to solve their breeding problem?
>>338691570
>If it's an overextended, video-gamey, fanfic level piece of phoned-in trash story wise (3), fuck Mass Effect forever. This is Bioware's last chance and they better fucking realize it.
hohoho
people warned them in alpha and beta testing that the shit would hit the fan with DAII,DA:Inquisition and Mass effect 3; but they didnt listen
lets enjoy the ride to the point where EA puts a bullet in the head of Bioware and liquidates its assets
>>338691485
>Choose your gender
>instead of male / female there is a dropdown list of genders with a add your own gender option
Can't wait to be an apache helicopter who saves the world
>>338686852
Mmmm, delicious new pasta OP! Saved for future use.
>>338688604
That actually sounds jewish enough to be believable.
>>338686852
How much are they paying you for this?
>>338686852
>milk original cast
Not everyone has ADD and needs new characters every new game. Some of the most memorable games have returning characters.
>>338686852
Mac Walters has driven that franchise into the ground with his "muh Cerberus" hackery.
The two writers who made Mass Effect good quit during production of ME2.
It's over.
>>338691834
>Creativity is now ADD
>>338691595
I'm still mad.
>>338691707
But anon, wasn't bioware already full-SJW?
Reminder
>Kaiden was made gay in ME3
>2 gay crew mates added who add nothing
>IGN journalist can board the ship
>Illusive Man retconned into Saren 2.0
>Kai Leng sending you texts
>ME2 characters are cameos
>Giving your self insert PTSD
>EDI is a sex bot with a camel toe
>Reapers retcon their own plans
>Tampon applicator crucible
>Last words on screen are DLC
>Javik is on disc DLC
>The entire galactic federation is stranded over an overpopulated earth and they have no supplies
>Mass Relays exploded so no more exploring
>They had to release retcon DLC just to please casuals
If you support Bioware, and by extension EA, you are killing gaming.
>>338691834
ADD is literally made up so pharmaceuticals can sell drugs to kids.
>>338691723
If it's anything like the latest Dragon Age, the game will actively shit on you if you choose a human male and shower you with special-princess points if you choose a female and/or non-human. All to better teach those white men to check their intergalactic privilege.
>>338686852
>What new things are you excited to see?
Some cheap laughs at how "progressive" the new galaxy will be. My bet is that there will be no concept of gender and all characters, including humans, will use random pronouns. There will also be at least 3 major characters with an unique tumblresque quirk that they will never shut up about.
>>338692019
>EDI is a sex bot with a camel toe
You say this as if it's a bad thing.
>>338692079
>the game will actively shit on you if you choose a human male
When does Inquisition ever do this?
Fuck off EA
>>338686852
>tfw you realize BioWare fucked up Mass Effect so badly they had to move to a new galaxy
>>338692079
gator detected
Shepard
If they have the exact same gameplay for multiplayer with a few new powers, guns, and classes, I'm 100% down for it.
Could use a bit less RNG so that I'm not praying for Ultra rares, but still, legit the best horde mode I've ever played.
>>338692141
This is me, I won't deny it.
It makes me so angry that they ruined it.
>>338692019
>EDI is a sexbot with a cameltoe
How is that a problem ?
>>338692386
I'm on my phone so I don't have my ImStillMad meme img but ditto.
That ending ruined everything
>Mass Effect 2 starts
>You are a Cerberus Shep clone.
>No scene where the illusive man flicks the switch and activates the mind control device to have you gun down a bunch of your crew members
Such wasted potential
>No segment where you discover Shep clone vatts where Illusive Man was trying to engineer a race of Prime Humans and a super soldier army.
Come on you had everything set up.
>Mass Effect 3
>Illusive man has been indoctrinated instead of representing how a human autocracy would have actually gotten results in such a dire time
>Weeb ninja man is your main rival instead of the last clone(or perhaps the real?) Shepard- or heck, indoctrinated Garrus
JUST
>>338686852
I'm looking forward to the catharsis of Bioware possibly NOT being SJW cucks & instead developing a game with a *neutral*/left-leaning stance in dialogue/story with a focus on exploration over gameplay, as in the first game.
I'm not holding my breath, though.
>>338692435
Its fucking trashy as shit m8
>if you don't like the series, that's acceptable
>if you like the series, you're a shill
It doesn't get much worse than these threads or Battlefield threads.
>>338692079
You wut ? Orlais loves you because youre human and gives you more reputation. You can also take a shit on elves at every corner if you want to
>>338692189
This. Let's be honest, they had two options:
>Try to make any goddamn sense out of the ending on ME3
>Just burn it down and try again from square one.
I'm excited to see how much progressive agenda they can fit in a game.
Alt-right games when?
ME2>ME1>>>>>>sack full of shit>ME3
>>338692502
This.
Cut back the fucking sex- dating sims are fucking garbage.
>>338692502
Not to my dick
>>338692570
>Man: I hope my wife is okay
fine on /v/
>Woman: I hope my wife is okay
not fine on /v/
>>338692562
If the events of ME3 are even MENTIONED I'm going to flip a shit.
I wouldn't be upset at all if they just came out with Mass Effect 3 now and completely retconned that... I don't even know how to properly describe how fucked its shit was....
>>338692618
Content/Exploration
ME1>>>>sack of shit>ME2 + ME3
Gameplay
ME3>>>ME2>>>ME1
>>338692481
The original (and stupid) idea was that TIM had you resurrected entirely out of altruism towards humanity. You were the best and most important human alive, and so he was going to spend billions of credits to bring you back and give you back everything you'd lost and then some.
ME3 tried doing something different (and better) but it was too scared to actually do anything with it except to use it as an excuse for you to murder your racist clone.
>>338692481
I'll just leave this here In case you ever wondered why ME3 had no proper final boss fight.
Iike that they're going for a new setting but I've heard rumors that Cerberus will be the antagonists AGAIN and jesus cmon
>>338686852
here comes the marketers
I expect a similar thread like this tomorrow expect OP to switch around a few words
>can still only play as a human
Will Andromeda have melee?
>>338692507
The IP is interesting. Just Bioware and EA handling half of 2 and all of 3 ruined it.
They should just make a battlefront game with the Mass Effect setting
>>338692739
the original idea was the geth brought you back to help them win freedom from the reapers.
then mac walters fired Drew and it all went to shit from there.
Why do you think there are assets in the game files for Legion in places where he shouldn't be? Go ahead, hack the game, add him into your party early and enjoy the early legion bants. Shit's awesome and would've made ME2 1000% better.
don't fuck up the ending
don't fuck it up
>>338692710
I'm sure the cancer that was ME3 can't spread all the way to Andromeda.
...right...?
>>338686852
>rehashes all the races
>anything new worth a shit
>>338692760
Wouldn't surprise me. The only writer who cared about Cerberus was Mac, and the moment he became "head writer" it got jammed into fucking everything.
Now he's Creative Director it wouldn't surprise me if Kai Clone is waiting for them when they arrive in the Cerberus Hub of the Cerberus Galaxy.
>>338692739
TIM did nothing wrong until he went full NO I CAN CONTROL THE DEMONS with the Reapers.
If he had stuck to his principles and said "this is alien tech perverting the human form" and instead been the hard-line "burn everything" on it would've been much more compelling
He should've been the God Emperor from 40k, not this evil business man.
>>338692678
Counter-proposal: Make the game entirely about sex/dating. Create a story that can only be resolved through seduction and fornication.
>mfw the new Mass Effect is a scifi-themed Meet & Fuck game
>>338687059
I don't like Destroy being canon because that means the Geth die too, and that makes Legion's whole arc and the Geth subplot of ME3 a lot less impactful.
ME3 in general was handed horribly. Tunneling a thousand different variations in the story into 3plus one :^) tier endingendings was a recipe for disaster.
They should have been working on the ending since the beginning of ME1, and it's pretty clear ME3's ending was only designed during ME3's development.
>>338692358
Reminder that game development is a zero-sum affair and spending time inserting MP into a previously-single-player game just to compete with COD & L4D means less time for everything else.
>>338692707
Strawman. The problem is that they were so obviously forced all of a sudden in 3 that it was hilarious. Witcher has always had gay characters and you' don't see people on here complaining about it. That's because they were actual characters and not defined by their sexuality, forced in to try and show how progressive the devs are.
>>338692912
>rehashes all the races
In a game where it's supposed to be lore heavy, why the fuck wouldn't you include the previous races?
>That Godzilla ass scene where you lure the giant worm on Tachunka out to fight a Reaper
>That dramatic ass shit when you have to kill off Mordin to keep the Genophage alive
I don't care what anyone says about ME3, it had its moments.
>>338692978
But isn't that just Persona 5?
>>338686852
but, this is how ALL franchises should be for basics. they should move forward.
why is this being treated as a special thing?
>>338692728
This is the catch 22 of mass effect games. I wish 1 had 3's gameplay.
>>338692870
More like Casey fired Drew and then put his crony Mac in Drew's place.
Drew was "lead writer" on ME1 and early ME2. Mac was only a staff writer with his tongue up Casey's shitpipe.
Chris L'Etoile was the best writer in ME1, and he just straight up quit during ME2.
>>338692898
After 3 I have literally no faith in the story team at bioware. I truly don't get how you can hire people that shitty. Same goes for 343's story team. Halo's story really went down the shitter
>>338692870
Goddamnit I hate Mac so much
>>338692982
It was a different branch. The montreal one I think.
>>338692992
Just because a couple of NPCs are suddenly gay doesn't ruin the entire game. The Devs are keeping up with the times (albeit a bit slowly).
The only people that actually give a shit are autistic as fuck.
>>338693002
it takes place in a completely different galaxy, it makes zero sense
>>338686852
how the fuck do you look forward to ea products??? how many times must you be tricked before it sinks in, why do you continue the cycle of e-battered wife syndrome?
>>338693061
You're not wrong. Too bad they were so few and far between
>>338693071
yes
yes it is
>>338692978
I'd buy either. There really needs to be a spin off series that focuses on relationships and interactions between characters (tell tale style) and one that focuses on exploration and combat with some expose. I'd buy both in a heartbeat. Half ass combining the two is just a recipe for disaster however.
>>338686852
I'm scared its going to be a single player mmo-lite like Inquisition was.
>>338692728
I agree with you anon.
>>338692972
>NO I CAN CONTROL THE DEMONS
How did he know that? Did he read the script?
>>338692981
The Geth deserve death, or does slaughtering 95%-99% of the quarian population not qualify yet?
>>338693127
It didn't ruin the game, this conversation wasn't ever about gay characters ruining a game. It was about how forced they were to further an agenda instead of being well written.
>>338693061
>He killed Mordin
You double nigger
If recent trends are anything to go by, it'll probably just be a Skyrim style open world, split into something like 5 pieces which will be the planets you can go to, cardboard cut out characters, and chores disguised as quests.
This is Bioware we're talking about. They have no idea what made the few good games they've produced compelling.
>>338693250
Give an example of a blatantly forced character.
Doesn't matter because /v/ will still shitpost this game into oblivion regardless of it's actual quality since they desperately want another Tortanic.
Shit almost every new release gets some shitposters like this.
Tortanic fucked this board.
>>338692885
It's gonna be an open ending. There will be plenty of build up with no pay off to ensure there's enough hype for the final instalment which will obviously end in similar fashion to ME3.
After that, there will still be millions of people who will be excited for the next reboot.
>>338693145
>I dont know what Im talking about
The races previoulsy seen in the games are in an arch going to andromeda in the hope of establishing new colonies as a plan b against the reapers. Of course the locals are not krogans you fucking faggot
>>338693258
Why save the galaxy from the Reapers just to hand it over to the Krogans?
>>338693061
Literally both of those moments were written by Patrick Weekes (the super SJW new lead writer for DA). He designed Priority: Tuchanka and Priority: Rannoch. I don't like his characters but he knows how to make a quest work.
All of the Cerberus stuff was Mac Walters.
>>338693061
>The absolute, ridiculously cheesy line exchange between Tali and Shepard if you do their romance
>Stop the tank, Babe. I need to go punch a Reaper.
>>Holy shit that is the sexiest thing I have ever heard.
>Take your allergy meds, I'll be right back.
>>I am going to fuck him on the floor of this tank I swear to Robot Gypsy God.
It was the dumbest shit I've ever heard and I loved every narmy second of it. It was a brief look at the space adventure Mass Effect could have been before the bullshit poured in.
>They never should of added thermal clips to the game.
>Never should of changed how guns work.
Loved making the Specter AR not overheat-able by adding two Heat Sink's. Non-stop firing!
>>338693315
but anon, you have to only like games before 2010 otherwise you won't fit in!
What new things I am excited to see?
Women that dont look like MEN.
AN ANCIENT EVIL AWAKENS IN A DIFFERENT GALAXY
Calling it now.
>>338693243
They could have slaughtered 100% of the Quarian population, but they didn't. They only took up arms when the Quarians began mass genocide and only kills Quarians for as long as the Quarians were fighting back. They didn't understand why their creators were doing what they were doing, they were just sentient creatures that valued their survival.
I, for one, would really rather not see them fuck up again with this series. All things considered, Mass Effect is a really lengthy adventure filled with tons of excitement and action that made me genuinely giddy to see what would happen next. Obviously EA blew it beyond belief when it came to writing an actual ending to everythingthank fucking christ I chose the destroy ending because that's the only acceptable ending imhobut despite the whole situation as it is, I just want to see if they can make it right again with this installment. No promises, obviously, but I can always hope.
>>338693243
The Illusive Man spent his life being paranoid of alien control and then decides he can control giant space crustaceans one whole thing is they fucking rewrite the electronic impulses in your brain to fuck you? He doesn't even try to build a fail-safe interface device or something, just pure I WILL OVERPOWER AN ENTIRE RACE WITH MY BRAIN HAHA
Nigger wasn't even a biotic and he had bigger delusions than that volus
I won't be buying it because it's EA but I actually agree OP, if they have to continue the series after the trilogy, they are doing it in a pretty classy way.
>>338686852
All I ask, all I ever ask for is fucking space western, red dead redemption or gun in space
>>338693179
>>338686852
EA is virtually incapable of producing well-received games at this point (DA:I is the only thing propping them up over the last 5 years).
>>338693348
that sounds so fucking stupid am dead to this game now
>>338693495
>7/10 is bad
I want this meme to end.
>>338693505
>sending people in case your civilization away for them to rebuild somewhere else
>stupid
Youre stupid. Maybe the game will be shit but the premise is interesting as fuck
>>338693312
Kaiden is one. He had no indications of being gay throughout the games, then all of a sudden he just loves dicks. There's also a bunch of gay character son your ship all of a sudden. That one dude who flew the ;landing ship literally had no personality other than "muh husband". The series had never had characters like that in the spotlight at all until 3, right around the time when Bioware started really pushing the "WE ARE SO OPEN MINDED" agenda to boost sales. You can't deny how forced they were.
I don't have a problem with gay characters, I have a problem with shitty characters.
>>338692135
It's significantly more mundane than her hologram vagina incarnation.
ME3 EDI is just a collection of robot cliches.
>>338693350
I'm not part of the Bioware hatebase. I genuinely loved what they did with Inquisition in terms of setting up enemies. The Big Bad in that game was an actual character who shows up, burns down your house, kills your dog and choke holds you while reminding you how inferior you are. It was fucking glorious
And hell, that bald elf whose name I forget was probably the best fantasy character I've seen in a video game in years
>>338693495
But their games sells like hot pie
Who gives a fuck about scores anyway when they are swimming in cash
>>338693705
When is it said kaileng is gay ? I finished the game 3 times and its the first time I hear this shit
>>338693640
But it is bad when the first two had marginally better scores
>>338693401
I don't dislike the idea of thermal clips, but the idea was assburgers in practice.
And also yeah, because of weapon mods they were an outright downgrade. It'd be easy enough to write off by saying only elite commando units/specters can afford that shit and that's why the general switch to thermal clips were made so that your average grunt can have a gun that doesn't have 6 seconds uptime and 4 seconds down.
They should have had them be specific to certain weapons. Thermal clips make no sense on a sniper rifle, but they'd make perfect sense on a light machine gun.
>>338693690
this is no talent bullshit to cover lack of any ability to create something new being such cheap asses fuck off with this lazy pile of garbage game
>>338693447
.
>"defending yourself" means you slaughter billions of innocent women, children and men
Do you actually think that every single one of those quarians had picked up a rifle and started to attack the geth? They committed genocide, and they deserve to die just as much as the Reapers do.
>>338693772
Tru dat. /v/ doesn't want to admit it but EA is Raking the profits by just pumping out mediocre games.
>>338693495
EA is like Micheal Bay, they make summer blockbuster games that are good for explosions and ooos with ahhhhs, never meant to be for masterpieces. But don't pay full price for these.
>>338693857
If someone tries to kill you, you kill them right back. Thats how the world works
>>338693735
Solas. Also Patrick Weekes' character.
In ME Weekes wrote Mordin, Jack, Kasumi and Tali (in 2 and 3, Drew wrote her in 1).
You're going to like DA4, I suspect.
>>338693857
Quarians are trash hobos who want to genocide the geths because they cant handle the anal damage.
Geth killing them was self defense
>>338692525
I believe there's also technically more romance options for humans.
>>338693808
Kaiden, the dude from me1 ho can return if you saved him. Not Kai leng
Kai Leng being a homo is self evident
>>338692710
>>338692898
Post yfw a Kai Leng clone show up and weebs at your notshep.
>>338694002
Yeah humans are the master race they rightfully should be
>>338693127
No anon, it DOES ruin the game, by breaking immersion.
If the characters stick out, constantly reminding you that not only do the devs exist but they've become SJW faggots, they will literally ruin the game.
>>338694073
Yeah misread. But hes bi not homo. You can romance him as femsheo
>>338694074
(This is EA-Bioware, after all)
>>338693976
>You're going to like DA4, I suspect.
Assuming there is one. Inquisition didn't get a lot of love because of the whole 'single player MMO' thing. But on the whole I loved pretty much everything about it. Heck, DA:O was probably my favorite RPG of its gen. Shame about DA2 though
>>338693808
Kaiden, not Kai Leng.
Kaiden is the human biotic that everyone killed in ME1.
>>338693857
I don't really think the Geth did that. Most everything we get about the Geth comes from biased sources that are also very very outdated. The Geth-Quarian war was 300 years before the setting, all the Quarians involved died a long time ago, the only surviving members that participated were Geth.
And aside from the Geth that decided to side with the Reapers, the rest of the Geth are very reasonable creatures. I trust Legion and he made it pretty clear the Geth only rose up in self defense, and did not kill Quarians just for the hell of it. They outright made the decision to spare them even though they could indeed have killed every single Quarian.
The Quarians are very clearly shown to be by and large ignorant idiots, and they have at best fourth hand testimony of what actually happened on their homeworld.
>>338686852

In my series both Ashley and Kaiden die.
Fuck the both of them.
>>338694224
I kept Ashley around specifically because she was racist. Kaiden was boring as hell, Ashley had a personality and actual humanistic viewpoints and flaws. Quite refreshing to see realistic characters in a game.
>and then they killed her character anyways
RIP in pieces Ashley 200x-20xx I don't remember when ME1 or 2 came out.

>>338694224
Ashley is the most underrated character in Bioware history.
Realistic, completely true to the story and setting, personal issues that have realistic causes, gives players who want to roleplay xenophobes/xenoskeptics a voice.
>>338694165

I'm saying Mass Effect series is over.
But just like Gears 4 or Halo 4, and all that, a Mass Effect 4 is unnecessary.

>>338694449
Until they turned her into a fish mouthed tranny in me3
Ugh, seriously, wtf was that design
>>338694449
You're right, but that personality of hers is exactly what got her killed in my playthrough.
Annoying bitch.
>>338694551
Thing is, the Mass effect trilogy was a one of a kind series. There was and still is literally nothing else on the market quite like it. Where as Halo and Gears are just generic shooters. Mass Effect fills a niche and as such is still very much needed.
>>338694601
Well, yeah.
I meant in ME1. Should have made that clear.
>>338694551
I'd much rather them continue an established series than branch off for a completely new one.
>as long as it's good
Seriously. The problem isn't them rehashing characters or settings, the problem is them doing it poorly. Mario is one of the most used characters in gaming if not the most used and the vast majority of his games are good, most of them are great.
When you finish a story finish it, but that doesn't mean you can't tell a new story in the same setting.

The only Star Wars game(s) ME is remotely similar to are KOTOR and I don't have to tell you why. And if you're implying ME is a ripoff of the Star Wars setting you're doubly retarded. It's much much closer to Star Trek, and even then it's still barely similar.
Star Wars in high fantasy high tech, Mass Effect is just high tech, a bit of Lovecraftian, but it's not fantasy at all. Even Biotics are sciency and shit, not supernatural.
>>338694684
Yes, I actually liked her most and considered her the best romance option in 1, since tali wasn't available. Ironically they ruined Tali in 2 right as they make her romanceable
>>338686852

>>338693350
Where can I read up on which writers handled which parts of ME3?
>>338694293
I'm fairly sure it's supposed to take place in a distant future in which the Andromeda colonists went through several generations and will be ready to act upon all the weird SJW trends the writers will want to hamfist into the game. Except they will still make it weird and totally in-your-face instead of just being casual about it.

>What new things are you excited to see?
People finally realizing that the good Bioware died years ago shortly after the EA takeover, and the current company is just a bunch of college grads wearing bioware's corpse like a suit.
None of their games after Mass Effect/DA:O were good, and even those were mediocre. The best thing about ME and DA:O was the potential they had to be great franchises, but they fucked that right up.
I can't understand why anyone that knows anything about videogames would care about a new Mass Effect or a new Dragon Age game, or anything from modern Bioware in general
Protip: Watch this to be depressed about how far the mighty have fallen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2Y2YXmKjSA

Why should I fucking care? You're stuck playing a human, the choices wont matter in the end, and Bioware wont learn anything
>>338695463
They were poorly implemented but people just wanted them improved. Most non casuals liked the RPGness they just wanted items and upgrades that weren't x1 x2 x3 and instead x1 y1 z1.
But I'm pretty sure EA said "gut it" so it got removed so casuals wouldn't whine they had to buy new tech to stay relevant.

as much as I dislike modern bioware, this will probably be the best ME so long as the story doesn't end up being horrendously shit. If they keep the same map size and detail that DA:I had it could be amazing

>but it was actually fine up until the last 15mins.
No, it wasn't, you fucking shill.
>>338697109
Shepard became integral to the story. It's like having the bible without Jesus, shit just doesn't make sense on a basic level. If you remove Shepard and what he and you just have a generic space cop adventure. I think the savior of the fucking UNIVERSE is pretty important but they're outright pretending he never existed already.
Bioware should have the common courtesy of bowing down to their fans to try and earn their respect back first before displaying a shit fillet. Mass Effect 3 was absolute, abhorrent shit yet they're trying to deceive US, the people that played it. Alienating your past loyal fans is retarded, period.
>>338695378
The problem with bioware is that some games actually have good gameplay.
Inquisition made me fall asleep, but mass effect 2/3 was actually fun, playing vanguard/engineer and mixing other biotic powers made the game worth of replays on insanity.
But the story is always fucked, they should really hire some quality writer to either work the story or write something new himself.
I dont know about the guys working only on dragon age, but the crew working on mass effect managed to create a okay gameplay, everyone has to begin somewhere, and for a bunch of college grads they at least managed to get the gameplay mostly right.
Better gameplay with new interesting powers and better gunplay would sell the game, if they actually get the planet exploration right I might even be willing to forgive the retarded story and forced companion romance.
It cant be that fucking hard, they guys working on dishonored 2 actually listened to the fans and are looking to fix all the wrong things with D2, why cant bioware do the same?

This game.
Goddamnit this game.
I'm fucking mad about Bioware's current state of writing and the universe they've built with ME. I can't help but have my hopes high, even though I know it's probably going to be executed horribly.
I fucking love every single fucking race they have, and all their lore. I love the planets and civilizations. I love the human interaction with these races. I love the way the technology works.
But with how Bioware has recently written games like DA:I and ME:3, I honestly believe there will be a ton of shoehorned shit that muddies up the lore in an effort to propogate SJW horseshit when they could honestly have a very natural and healthy involvement of said horseshit but their writers aren't skilled enough to make that happen.
So I dunno. TL;DR : I'm going to probably buy it and hate myself later.

But instead it went in the complete opposite direction and now your dialog choices are all completely fucking fake
What the fuck are you fucking cancerous faggots fucking doing getting hyped for this shit jesus fuck
>>338687515
>and the illusive man was pretty neat.
Holy shit your taste is bad. Illusive Man is one of the things that highlights how bad ME 3 was even prior to the ending. You have Cerberus, who in ME2 was a faction that legitimately cared about humanity and wanted you to succeed, but was still shady as fuck and willing to fuck over a lot of things to achieve their goals. Then Mass Effect 3 ruins any moral ambiguity and turned the Illusive Man into a straight mustache-twirling villain.
Would have been a million times better if instead of the 3 color endings, the Illusive Man is the one who finds out how to control the reapers and siding with him was a legitimate choice.
>>338698903

In ME1 you were told they were evil and maybe saw them once or twice. They were a group of faceless mooks that didn't really matter much. In ME2 Shepard only teamed up with them because they were the only ones looking into the collectors. He certainly never decided Cerberus were great guys; they were just the best practical option. Mass Effect 2 fucked up a bunch of things but actually giving Cerberus a motivation beyond "lmao evil" isn't one of them.
>>338700059
Except that Cerberus was behind the lone survivor Shepard losing all his army buddies. You chase down Cerberus and raid their compounds only to find one of your old army mates still alive, now very much insane and suffering due to their experimentation. You still have to fucking fellow Cerberus despite them killing your brothers in arms for the sake of some worthless experiment.
I wanted to fucking jettison Miranda from the airlock and go hunt down the illusive man like a dog.
As long as they bring back planet exploring back i'll be happy.

Nothing about the main story was good. The main story started by introducing the godchild and Liara automagically finding the solution to defeat the reapers forever if they just build this giant.. thing.. designed by all the people of forever, while in the midst of a galatic war, while local forces only gradually lose against technology a billion years more advanced while the reapers ignore the citadel becaaaaaahh.. fuck I could keep going forever it's all shit.
They wrote themselves into a corner and had to bullshit their way out. The reapers were built up to be such an impossible force that there was literally no good way to introduce a goal at the start of ME3 in a plausible manner. The place to do that would have been in ME2, and only if it took the entire game. Or, possibly, running ME3 as a doomsday scenario where you just have to make the best of it.
At least a reboot won't have the burden of trying to tie to the previous games except in symbolic ways.

The times were I get exicted for Bioware games have been over since DA2. ME3 only helped me starting to hate them for how the whole ending fiasco was handled. DAI with his mindnumbingly boring mediocrity was one of the few games I didn't finish at all.
So no, I'm not hyped for Andromeda, chances are it will be shit or offensivly average while being littered with epic maymays and trying to force some political agenda down my throat.
>>338686852
so how does this cotinue the ME3 save? I presume:
>If Sheppard destroyed the Reapers and survived, he/she gives the new charatcer their blessing to explore andomreda. If dead, character goes to andromeda to spread their legend
>If synth/control, character glows green or otherwise wants to tell andromeda about Sheppard
>If refuse, character and crew go to andromeda to escape the reapers and warn andromeda they could go there too.
Which begs the question: Are the reapers only bound to the milky way and is andromeda really just far away for them to reach?
>>338701085
>tfw only have regular ADD so I don't have that energy that people enjoy being around and just seem like I don't pay attention to anyone and can't focus on anything
>>338701030
They could have just not had ME3 START with the fucking invasion and just have the reapers show up halfway through, when your plans are underway. Maybe up to that point you can only reinforce a limited number of planets and once the invasion begins, the ones you didn't already help are just fucked.
Also I didn't buy the fucking DLC for 2 so I have no idea why 3 begins with Shepard on earth with no goddamn crew when 2 ended with me assembling the greatest warriors in the galaxy.
Really, the transition between 2 and 3 is completely fucked. I mean, Mass Effect 2 only works as part of the trilogy if you assume the entire game is Shepard building a team to fight the Reapers with. But then he doesn't even use his super massive elite team in 3 when he REALLY needs them. What the fuck?
>>338700043
And as a result, Jack was made. Worth it.
>>338687252
I assumed destriy was always canon because A) the whole point of Shappard's mission was to eliminate them as a threat and B) it makes the synths dying off as well a tragic sacrifice that ME3 was trying to shoehorn in everywhere.
>instead of doing lel remaster
But they did. Twice.
>>338701128
Salarians are usually cast as hyperactive assholes. Spying is about as close to real diplomacy as they'll ever get.
>>338701128
Nah. Salarians live a mere fraction the time of humanity (most humans live as long as four generations of Salarian), produce fewer children, have virtually no predisposition for any Biotic development, And while their reputation for intellectuals and scientists are supposedly the apex of Citadel races, note that they were already a FTL species nearly 1000BC and since that time humanity has shot forward faster and stronger and very nearly overtaken them in virtually every scientific field and certainly militaristic.
>>338701625
Those four generations is a bit exagerrated. Mordin was in his 40s so it's more like 2 generations tops.
>>338701394
The team for ME2 was built for the suicide mission against the collectors, and organized by TIM. People that important aren't going to stick together and idle for a year, especially with no proper backing. Some of them (Garrus) come back with marginal effort once ME3 is underway.
>>338701394
>Also I didn't buy the fucking DLC for 2 so I have no idea why 3 begins with Shepard on earth with no goddamn crew when 2 ended with me assembling the greatest warriors in the galaxy.
you din;t need to. Sheppard turns himself and the Normandy in to the Alliance to prove he's not with Cerberus and to give them evidence that TIM is a batshit insane manchild doing dodgy shit
>>338701394
Mass effect 3 should have been about creating the spaceship that would take humanity last hopes to andromeda should the reapers actually attack.
The game would end with Shepard supposedly sacrificing himself to ensure the ship launches right in the moment the reapers are beginning to conquer the citadel.
This would pave the way for Andromeda and maybe for a future game where you play as Shepard fighting guerrilla war with the reapers.
They could even add hints about the weapon to kill all reapers in Andromeda and story would still not feel as fucked like in 3.
>>338701929
Game lore says that Salarians only very rarely live to be as old as 40 whereas humanity reaches 150 regularly.
>>338694313
I always found it ridiculous that Wrex talks about how his father tried to kill him and "the genophage reduced us to that" all the while completely ignoring the fact that the argument was that his father wanted to keep fighting like the old way and Wrex recognized that that was no longer feasible.
>>338702163
I must have missed the part where human lifespan got so bloody long.
Damn those medi-gels.
>>338686852
ME3 should have been about the dark matter plotline theory: Being that the reapers fear entropy because they can't do anything about it and kept culling species to encourage biotics powerful enough to prevent the universe's heat death.
It should have finally revealed Sheppard to be a clone because there's no way he/she would have been completely ressurcted and their brain would have been completely destroyed in space.
>>338702060
I wish there was a Cerberus rout in 3.
You're forced back to the Alliance because Cerberus was indoctrinated, so a Cerberus rout could have had the Alliance brass being the ones indoctrinated instead.
Actually they really squandered the whole indoctrination thing too. You should have been constantly watching your allies, never knowing when one of them might get turned. Not to mention having to fight indoctrinated armies.
>>338702297
So the plot of TTGL?
>>338702468
>Actually they really squandered the whole indoctrination thing too. You should have been constantly watching your allies, never knowing when one of them might get turned. Not to mention having to fight indoctrinated armies.
that doesn't make sense. Indocrtination happens only when someone's been around a reaper. Not even Sheppard gets that close to one. You can bet noone in his team does either
>>338691485
Depending how you look at it, the Boss for Saints Row 2,3&4 is trans if you make them female seeing how they can only be male in 1.
>>338702170
Wrex is a lovely pile of contradictions. It's great. He understands right from the start in ME1 that his people can't get their shit together even while under the crushing burden of the genophage, yet he feels outrage and pushes for its cure, heedless of the consequences to other peoples. He wants to lead his people out of their dark ages, but knows this relies almost entirely on his own efforts and will collapse the moment something kills him.
If he's dead at any point of the story, his replacements immediately revert to typical krogan doctrine.
>>338702584
No. Did you even play the game? Reaper artifacts are well known to indoctrinate and Shepard messes with them on multiple occasion.
>>338702037
All that does is make the Mass Effect 2 plot even more pointless than it already was. You gather this massive team of the most elite people in the galaxy and spend half the game gaining the trust and respect of each and every one of them so they'll have your back no matter what....all to take down one shitty reaper fetus.
And then when the REAL threat shows up, when thousands of fully formed Reapers attack, you decide you can handle it with just Garrus, Tali, and.....what was his name again?
Point being, when you spend the middle game of your trogy dping nothing but building the biggest, most important team the galaxy has ever seen, the least you could do to make that whole plot relevant is, you know, actually carry the team over.
> People that important aren't going to stick together and idle for a year
Why the FUCK would they be idle for a year? They all knew the Reapers were on the way; they should have been getting ready BEFORE the invasion happened.
>>338702584
Or Reaper artifacts.
And I don't just mean party members. I mean your allies in general, the ones that aren't constantly on your ship.

>>338702886
Ironically Garrus was the only ME2 party member that was really preparing for the Reapers.
Honestly Garrus is the best bro in the series.
>>338702886
Mass Effect 2 being pointless in the greater narrative was a common critique. I'm not debating that. All I'm saying is that after ME2 they lost their backing and reason to be together. They were gathered to fight the collectors. What were they going to do afterwards? Picket the Alliance HQ to raise reaper awareness? Write on their blogs? Build catapults? As powerful as they were as individuals, they lacked any ability to motivate entire societies into action. They completely relied upon TIM in ME2 for their needs at the macro level, like maintaining their ship. So they naturally splintered into dealing with more local interests.
I agree with the OP, but still not buying the game for bioware's recent hamfisted approach to social issues and political correctness.
>>338686852
you're either trolling, or your taste in video games is nothing short of deplorable
>>338692019

>>338706720
ME2 was shit but many peopleincluding myselfsaw past the plot holes and retarded story because the game still made you feel like a badass hero
ME3 had a shit story and made you feel like an incompetent loser, especially in that awful, passive aggressive, ridiculous ending if you read between the lines
>>338706874
mass effect is fucking terrible, everybody knows this. but it has a very large, very rabid fanbase regardless.
people rant about the FNAF and sonic fanbases, for me biodrones are the worst
>>338686852
I find it immensely funny that Bioware managed to fuck up the story so badly, that their only option to try to save it was to move it to another fucking Galaxy.. I guess that qualifies them as an intergalactic menace to good writing
>>338686852
I'm excited to see shit level writing, horrible animations, horribly expanded story, a lot of liberal bullcrap.
>>338686852
The best possible ME is no villain for first 3/4 of game and focus on comfiness.
>>338707479

>>338707479

>ME1 honestly feels as awkward as kotor or Jade Empire these days
That's a bad thing? ME's combat went to shit with 2 when it ditched all pretenses of being an RPG and just went full CoD clone.
the beaten wife syndrome of these biodrones is fucking incredible
>oh it'll be different this time!
>I should have just made him a sandwich
>I shouldn't have such high expectations for bioware everybody makes mistakes!
I remember specifically during the ME3 fiasco somebody from bioware's PR deliberately said "dont have such high expectations from us" I wish I could fucking find it
I can't wait for ME4, because this time I'll be on the other side of the gun when it goes off and it'll be hilarious instead of rage inducing
>>338708403
you're kidding yourself if you thought ME1 had good combat. the controls were fucking CRIPPLED in that game, and if you were on a console it ran like total ass. dont even get me started on ENEMIES EVERYWHERE
>>338686852

Yeah, it's a neat addition.
Here's the part that always confuses me about sci-fi stories. Humans almost always have FTL and crazy advanced tech but almost never ever any sort of augmentation of their bodies or minds. The singularity is predicted to happen within the next 100 years or so. By the time we will have achieved FTL travel we will already be completely synthetic or heavily augmented super beings with intelligence we literally can't even begin to understand using today's technology.
The story of the geth is just not how it would play out. They had pretty much the same exact level of intelligence has every other species. They would have evolved so quickly and far that they would appear as gods.
ME world is kinda shit. It's the same problem that comes with other fantasy worlds like LotR. You're telling me they have advanced to the point of forging that kind of weaponry, armor, architecture, and GUNPOWDER that no one has bothered to create anything new in over a thousand years? They started in what is basically the 14th century and didn't evolve a single day.
By the time Frodo shows up they would have tech roughly equivalent to Mass Effect. They would have already undergone the singularity and FTL travel.
I guess that means Middle Earth is actually a completely new planet with a bunch of faggy LARPers.
>New races.
Fuck off.
The alien races are amazing in the ME universe.
>>338709368
>"Mass Effect 3 was good except for the ending" meme. It was shit all the way through except for a handful of enjoyable moments.
It was good you fat faggot until the end.
The game should have played out exactly like it did but in the end you choose which species board the crucible that acts like an arc and teleports you to a far fucking off galaxy far far away from any reapers.
Either that or the reapers win 100% just like they always have and it was all for nothing just like how every other species fought back and lost. Life is meaningless and there's no reason to try. That would be the asimov ending.
>>338709368
it was shit all the way to the end, but the ending is exponentially worse than everything else because of how blatant and bold it was with basically saying 'FUCK YOU' instead of 'fuck you' undertones lying throughout

I dont think you quite understand how scientific progress goes, logistics and that jazz.
I'm sorry to break your bubble but there will not be this "singularity" that some retards came up with. Hell, if you had even the slightest understanding of how little we know about human brain you would realize that. In 100 years we could have prosthetic limbs and organs and that kind of stuff, basically Deus Ex Human Revolution tier if you will, but all this retarded bullshit about super augmented intelligence is just that, bullshit.
>>338710067
>It was good you fat faggot until the end.
Strange, because I remember Kai Leng showing up before the end. I remember Udina suddenly turning evil for no reason before the end. I remember the writers completely forgetting the Geth lore from ME2 and doing shit that shouldn't make sense based on what Legion told you before the end. I remember the game starting out with a retarded asspull on Mars before the end. I remember that stupid ass subplot where your ship AI gets a robot body before the end.
would anyone wanna rp geth/quarian boyfriends
>>338710067
Best part of ME3 was the multiplayer.
>>338710348
>that some retards came up with
uhhh... what?
Literally any sort of person dealing with computer engineering or AI programmer knows the singularity is a very real concept and is most likely going to happen within 100 years based on our current rate of technological improvements.
>little we know about human brain
We wouldn't need to fully understand the human brain if we create an intelligent learning AI. The whole point of the singularity is to go past human's ability to learn on it's own. An AI wouldn't be limited by a single neuron network like humans are. It would be able to link up multiple self-learning processors and go from there.
The singularity is a simple concept. If it's possible to create an AI smarter than current human intelligence, that implies it also will be able to create something more intelligent than it is. and repeat some more.
It's not about creating a fully self-aware AI. Computers and the human brain function in completely different ways. Just the amount of shit computers can do today is amazing and they haven't been around for very long.

>>338710483
>I remember Udina suddenly turning evil for no reason before the end.
Indoctrination was basically made to support BioWare's hack writing. They can put whatever bullshit they want in their story and say it's okay because the character was indoctrinated.
>>338713334
I thought Udina just went full retard all by himself, no indoctrination needed? Or am I forgetting something?
>>338713334
Did they get writing tips from Metzen?
>>338710483
Udina has been a Disney villain since the first game, I really don't understand how ANYONE can be surprised at his 'betrayal'
>>338713706
He was an abrasive prick, but not an actual villain. What he did in ME3 really did come out of nowhere.
>>338713848
He was so obviously a bad guy throughout all of ME1 and 2. there's a reason the options to support him were always negative options.
>>338686852
Mass effect Andromeda is the proof that the mass effect series was handled terribly.

ME Andromeda has the potential to be one of the best game ever (a pathfinder on a whole new unexplored galaxy? I'm in) and, at the same time, has the potential to be one of the worst games ever made (Neo-EAware).
I Will be in, day 1, just to prove it live.
>>338713941
Mass Effect 2 in itself was already a massive fuck up. Pretty much everything from Harbinger being a needy stalker to the game being focused on the collectors as well as turning it into a cheap-shit waist high cover shooter.
>>338715229
The high point of ME2 was interaction with old crew like Garrus. Garrus, Tali, Mordin, Wrex jr what left the biggest positive mark, thus people liked the game. Post EA BW was trying to hard to make the game a movie what hurt the series in the long run, culminating in god-awfull ME3.
Im pretty iffy about it, really. If the mass effect series left a good taste in my mouth I might be excited, but as it stands it needs to be more like mass effect 1 than 3, but I have a feeling it's gonna be very 3-like.
>>338716010
To be fair, Liara does kiss you if you romanced her in ME1.

>>338717852
I don't think you'd need to enslave them to get lots of asari sex. You'd probably just have to ask, or hell, they'd probably proposition you themselves.

No it isn't. That's just a meme based on one throwaway conversation between three drunk guys.
>>338692982
Did you play the multiplayer? It was absolutely incredible, I have over 600 hours on it. Hundreds of thousands of people played it and played it for a good amount of time. Notice how >>338692358
has 450 hours and there are still 18,868 people ahead of him in challenge score?
I would buy MEA even if it was MP only, the single player is what, like 40 hours? The multiplayer is super in depth and takes a lot more skill then you might think, which is why so many people get so addicted to it.
Give it a try someday. At this point I dont even trust that they can make a good story anymore, but making good multiplayer is much easier than making a good story, all they have to do is copy paste the formula and add new classes, weapons, mods, customization, etc.
>>338686852
This thread is 400 posts old so I'm sure someone has already pointed out to you that a remaster is still VERY likely, but in the off chance that no one has:
The game isn't out till next yer and E3 is right around the corner, if you seriously think a HD collection won't be announced at E3 and be released before the end of November you are crazy.
All that being said I am looking forward to Andromeda.
So it's pretty much guaranteed to boil down to "the Reapers are coming!" Somewhere around the middle of the second Andromeda game, right?
>>338718498
It's not a meme. You can even see bartender changing her face from what I remember.
>>338702087
No. Shepherd's story was finished in 3. There's no reason for him to be a part of whatever happens in Andromeda.
>>338702087
Aw shit, I like that.
It was a little like Halo: Reach.
I knew nothing about the lore, so that game was pretty cool. Being in the thick of it as we slowly lost an entire planet.
Plus, for the first time, the covenant were actually a little scary (grunts didn't say funny/cute things in english), and it was different to watch civilians get minced.
I always like a story that isn't afraid to really fuck shit up. Like in Watchmen. When millions of people actually fucking DIE.
>>338718905
That's just a joke. It only happens when Shepard gets really drunk, and all it does is give her lipstick and make her look younger.
>>338702584
>not even Shepherd gets close to one
So you didn't play any of the games then, yeah? ME2 literally has a mission that sends you inside a derelict Reaper. There's also Shepherd's exposure to Object Rho from the Arrival DLC. Not to mention Cerberus most likely used Reaper technology to bring Shepherd back to life with the Lazarus Project.
>>338719198
shit
I remember her being creepy, not younger. In any case that would actually be way cooler if Asari weren't what they seems to be.
>>338719198
The fuck?
>>338692981
Couldn't they just rebuild them?
>>338691570
They will never do that 80's sci-fi feel again. That synth soundtrack was awesome compared to blockbuster soundtrack that followed.
>>338719250
I really hate the idea that indoctrination just happens anyone gets near any kind of Reaper tech. I liked it better when it was an ability the Reapers had to actively use.
>>338686852
>the setting as pretty much the only good thing the series had

Brilliant Bioware. Brilliant.
>>338718691
Bioware has said they have no plans for a HD version of the ME trilogy. Which is stupid, because people would buy it.
>>338719073
Dude don't you find weird EVERY species is attracted to Asari yet they're not especially fond of female humans when they "look" the same ?
Take the blue pill, senpai
>>338703270
Yeah. I can never leave him behind.
Only difficult decision was whether to have him by my side on the collector base or in command of the other team.
I get feels giving him a team, considering what happened to his last team and how guilty he feels. To see him nod, to know Shepard trusts him and honors him... it's pretty damn cool.
Fucking love garrus.
>>338719637
But 99% of the setting is just random interchangeable planets. So what if it's in a new galaxy?
>>338719698
Missed the scene in a bar in ME2. A salarian and turning both said asari look like their race. They assumed Asari take the form of whatever race is looking at them.
>>338719780
I'm guessing you never read the codex then?
They spend three games fleshing out all the aliens, history, tech, cultures and characters, and then they just decide to press reset.
They had the chance to do some really fun stuff now that they have already established a universe but instead they get rid of it in favor of just more exposition.
>>338719698
There are other explanations for that besides "They're actually hideous and use their psychic powers to make themselves appear attractive to everyone." If you listen closely to that drunk guy conversation, you'll notice what's actually happening is that they're each focusing on the part of the asari body that most resembles something from their own race, but none of them are denying that the different-looking features exist.
Besides, if the theory were true, don't you think Javik, being the dick he is, would have mentioned it?
>>338719637
This, should have had the destroy ending as canon and have the game be set decades into the future.
Andromeda will literally just have a few refferences to the original setting with some of the races
>>338719946
>yfw they're actually like a tentacule monster closer to a hanari than the sex bombs they look like

That's a good point actually. Except ifhe is also under the blue pill

How does that even work when it comes to stuff like physical contact?
I mean, it's one thing to see something differently, it's another to touch it.
>>338720276
Considering that his peopleintentionally manipulated the primitive asari in the hopes they might beat the Reapers, I think the Protheans would know about such tricks if they were real.
It also doesn't explain how asari still look the same even on a TV screen.

And you're right. It was very difficult, took a lot of thinking to actually play it well.

Javik is a soldier though so he might not know eveything about the Asari. Yeah the screens are a dead end though. I need to work on this
>>338720543
there is,it even has three endings.
>>338686852
>he thinks it's not going to be an mmo shooter
I'm going to laugh when it's destiny 3.0
>>338720685
I don't believe you.
>>338720648
>Javik is a soldier though so he might not know eveything about the Asari.
I'm pretty sure he's actually the one who tells you that spoilered fact about the asari.
>>338720783
Destiny would have been good with a better story. And say what you want about bioware but I locked more than 100h in every ME game and even in DAI so I wouldn't mind a destiny 3.0
>>338719640
Because no dev has EVER said anything like that before to throw people off.
>>338720873
Yeah yeah he's the one but that's one thing to talk about a scientific article you read about astronomy and another one to be an actual scientist. I'm trying to reinforce the conspiracy theory cmon man
>>338720915
Stories about the chosen one make no sense in an mmo setting. But that's what you'll get because that what bw does best. Enjoy.
>>338721019
It won't be an mmo so I don't know why you complain
>>338721276
See you at the actual announcement. Note the massive amount of players in the trailer.
>>338721385
>Note the massive amount of players in the trailer
What are you talking about ? The little dot moving on the galactic map during 0.2s ?
>>338710348
If you can make augmented Deus Ex cyborg limbs that are better than the original, why cannot you make artificial neurons that attach themselves to your own, copying the biochemical composition and replacing it, thus making your neural network an artificial one?
>>338708403
>an RPG
The Problem with RPGs is that its just a numbers game, so if you fuck it up, then things can become very difficult.
Take this mini-boss. Hes from the mission with the nuke in the mineshaft.
Most of the time, he's pretty easy.
But, if you play on insanity, he has over 100k hit points and can turn invincible at any time.
I remember that I had an N7 Sniper rifle with Explosive Round X. This character would be launched into the air, land on top of a mountain, and then slide down without taking any damage because he had "immunity".
Eventually, I hoped in the Mako and just used the cannon on him for 20 minutes.
All and all, its better to move away from real time RPGs and bullet sponges.
>>338692019
Kaiden was always gay, though. You can just tell.
>>338686852
So why even call it Mass Effect?
>>338721893
He's bi ffs. But yeah I don't know why people are suprised
>>338687059
Why wouldn't paragon Control be the right ending?
Shepard lives on as a galactic guardian by controlling the Reapers, everyone lives, Geth and Quarian live in mutual peace, Krogan homeworks goes back to being a livable society, etc etc
Less casualties, Shepard becomes a legendary being, happy ending.
>>338695867
>69% killed the council
jesus christ
>>338686852
I think by this point, I'm well and truly done. I gave them a chance with DA:I and everybody knows how much of a trainwreck that game was. No more.
>>338686852
>being hyped for Mass Effect after ME3
>>338722120
It puts all the power in the hands of one being. That's not good.
>Shepard becomes a legendary being
No they don't. They die and an AI clone takes their place.
>>338700876
Except that the Turians decimated about 70% of the entirety of the human force in a scouting run.
If it wasn't for the council intervening, humans would have gotten BTFO.
>>338723075
What exactly happen ? The turians lost didn't they ? That's why they're triggered when you talk to them about it
>>338723075
Humans were fighting a race which had fully researched the mass relay, whereas we were still taking babysteps.

Because samara wasn't a middle-aged cockhungry asari.
She was already at matriarch age, but decided to stay on the path of the justiciar to prevent her cock hungry daughters from killing tons of people.
Not only that, she implies that as an ardakt-yakshi spawner, there is a probability that she might mind-kill you when she melds.
>>338723386
>Turians destroyed some scouts, thought it was a great part of humanity's fleet
>Actual fleet arrives
>Fights Turians to a standstill
>Turians ready their own fleets to kick humanity back to the stone age
>Council intervenes
>>338723639
This.
It was considered a war to humans. Turian consider it a mild skirmish.
>>338686852
The searching for a new home for humanity angle is pretty interesting to me.
I wonder who the bad guy will be though.
>>338723741
>Turian consider it a mild skirmish
Because they still have it bad we kicked their tiny bird's asses, that's why
>>338723871
Humans if Bioware doesn't shit the bed.
They are basically alien invaders in a new galaxy. So yes they should be the bad guys.
>>338723871
>I wonder who the bad guy will be though
But anon. It's us. We've arrived on virgin new American, ready to destroy everything, protected by our rapefugees status.
Can't fucking wait
>>338723871
>I wonder who the bad guy will be though.
You. You'll force the native inhabitants to their knees and rule over them with an iron fist.
>>338723936
How's that reproducing thing, coming along?
Please. please no more, the over-watch shilling damn near killed me, please, not like this.
>>338723961
>>338724031
Oh fuck I just want it. And I want them to remind me how horrible I am before I send those dirty aliens outside the ship with the trash. God, I'm sure Zaeed would have loved it
>>338724113
1 Mass Effect thread compared to 50 Overwatch threads, isn't the same thing.
So it begins once more
>>338724156
I want it to have 1's atmosphere.

Wait, am I reading this right?
The weapon is powered by screaming?

Guess we will find out at E3 what the game is actually shaping up to look like. Seems like they are trying to make it more like ME1.
Favorite MP character right here.
Flame everything
>>338724470
I expect it to be utter shit.
>>338724470
How long till the E3 now ?
>>338724525
You won't be disappointed then.
>>338724334
>>338724470
It'll be awful.
>>338724495
REMOVE XENO SCUM.
Human vanguard with Graal spike thrower, each day every day.
>>338724334
>>338724594
I almost thought this might not be completely fucking awful.
>>338686852
Why would I trust a franchise that is still run by the same people that ran it into the ground? Get the fuck out of here.
>>338686852
>new galaxy, new races
>because the galaxy and basically all the lore we grew to care about was destroyed at the end of 3
bioware go home
>>338720580
Its amazing how they pulled it off so well.
I went into it thinking:
"Oh this is going to be some nazi zombies crap which will get boring after 30 minutes, im only gonna play this to get the best ending"
And left hours later completely addicted to it.
For anybody interested in it, go here
http://kalence.drupalgardens.com/me3-builder#1!!!!
Its a character builder for me3mp and it shows you just how in depth the multiplayer really is. 60+ classes, 50+ weapons, like 50 attachments, also other bonuses which are one time use.
I think the reason they forced you to play the MP to get the best ending is that they knew they created something amazing and wanted as many people to try it out as possible.
>>338692728
I agree
>>338708640
screw this, how about a game with Blasto and his Elcor pal ??
>>338723386
Humans thought it was a good idea to provoke the turians while we barely made our first steps into council space. Turians respond by kicking our asses. Council tells turian to stop their hostilities against us, and leaves lots of turians butthurt on how the didn't get to extinguish the human race.
Basically, humans dindu nuffin.
>>338723394
Yes, but >>338700876 implied that the first contact war went into a power stalemate, when they were getting ready to glass the earth.
>>338724334
oh. right. this guy.
>>338726208
Yeah, but if you were to take into account the technology that the Humans adopted and adapted, the increasing involvement of Humans in economics and the introduction to the council after ME1, you'd be damn well sure that it's be a close fight.
>>338726048
Shit, I'd play that
