What will it take to win you back /v/ ?
a good game
I dropped it as soon as they confirmed they were rehashing the whole human centric plot shit.

Inquisition was alright but the sacrifice of quality sidequests for giant maps with nothing in them was a bad choice.
Hell I'd even sacrifice the entire concept of the War Table for good sidequests, and I even liked the concept of War Table.

An apology.
Open recognition of the shitty writing direction they took, the horrific management of the ending fiasco and a commitment to pursue a more politically neutral position.
>>340787452
oh it absolutely is fucked. all those writers/programmers leaving was a good sign of it.
they will show some sizzle reel at E3 and thats it.
>>340786036
It being on a different galaxy is already legit retarded.
Have it made by a competent studio not owned by EA.
>>340786036
A Mass Effect game.
But seriously, I'm just hoping they bring back most of the features from ME1. Planet exploration, being able to draw and put away weapons at any time, then add the more versatile movement and weapon/power variety from 3 so combat will remain interesting. And of course, more than three endings. Asking for less gay stuff would be expecting more of Bioware than I believe they're willing to give.
Just let me gang fuck a krogan and turian already
>>340788416
>planet exploration meme
When will this bullshit die?
Say you want planet exploration, don't say you fucking want planet exploration from 1. Literally the worst thing in the whole series.
>>340788563
that looks terrible. why is everything so flimsy looking
Fire everyone and get a new team of people with actual talent. No limp-dick liberals.
>>340787584
Apologies don't mean anything.
Suave Satan came out last year talking about how they're trying to become a better company and all that bullshit, right before delivering their worst conference in years. And that's saying a lot.

>>340788641
That's not what "meme" means. And obviously we don't want it to be the same as it was, but it's a feature that was in 1 and that we haven't seen since. That it would be changed in a new game should go without saying.

Didn't I just say that I don't want it to be handled the same way? The concept was good. The execution was the problem. I don't know why you're upset about this.

You got drunk around a trap because you wanted to fuck him just admit it faggot.
Many, many people who were originally here when ME3 came out have long left this board. They lost faith in video games.
Nothing could make me play another Bioware game. I'm dead fucking serious. I don't have a picture that properly displays the anger I feel toward that series and developers. I am so fucking mad right now just reading this topic. Fuck OP. Fuck Bioware. Fuck videogames. Holy shit after so many years I'm still so fucking mad.

>Mass Effect could've been the Star Wars of this Generation
>EAware threw that all away for some quick money
Games are doomed to never be a serious artform.
>>340790472
You are exaggerating.
I don't mean to make the game look any better, it really was fucking shit from top to bottom and deserves all the hate, but people should calm the fuck down.
Why would you lose hope in videogames because of a fucking bioware game?

>>340791130
>Star Wars
No thanks
>>340786036
I'm already sold. The storyline throughout 3 games was fun to play, I'll agree the ending sucked and was lackluster but I had no intentions of replaying through the entirety of the series multiple times and without looking up the other endings I never would have known how bad it was.
The multiplayer in 3 was fun as hell to me and the randomized booster pack system was refreshing and made my friends and I build completely different characters.
As long as multiplayer is built upon I'm in.
When did the armor design go so wrong?
>>340791241
You shouldn't.
But again, saying you "lost faith in videogames" is exaggerating.
>>340786036

Mass Effect will never win me back. Bioware was never that good, but they had something special on their hands with Mass Effect. There was a sci-fi universe that felt new, unique, worth picking apart. I've never seen any creative effort go so horribly, terribly, repugnantly wrong.

>>340793430
Yeah, that I can agree with. Remember when they wanted him to die literally the same way Saren did but then scrapped it because it was too videogamey?

>less characters like Tali, Miranda
fuk u bob
>>340786036
That Bioware finally can into subtlety instead of shoving everything in your face.
I'm not talking about gay characters, I'm talking about everything.
Half the people you meet in ME1 try to stop you even though your mission is chasing a rogue agent trying to summon A FUCKING DEATH GOD to destroy everything along his friends while you do your best to save everyone.
ME2 constantly gives you characters telling you that Cerberus and you are bad and agreeing with that is always the Paragon option.
ME3 keeps reminding you about the war theme, "you can't save everyone" and those fucking dream scenes. It was grit, death and tragedy nonstop with the only breather being the Citadel DLC.
>>340789784
>not maining a Volus
pleb
Playing through Mass Effect 1 right now, how often do I actually need to use people that aren't Garrus/Tali?
I've been using them exclusively because they're my favorites and I really don't want to have to manage my whole team's inventories.

>>340786036
It would have to be fucking awe inspiring which will never happen.
It's going to be the same watered down corridor cover shooter ME3 was.
Fucking ME3 multiplayer had more rpg elements than the campaign mode.
>>340795020
Yeah.
Course Bioware is too normie for that so a gay Turian would be okay too.
>>340789620
RAAAAAGH COLLECTORS WANT PLAGUE!
>>340795461
You can take any squad you want with you, you'll be the one doing the most damage anyways. Taking Liara or Kaidan is neat because biotics are OP but you don't really need it.
>>340795525
I thinks its because they don't want to have to do different voice acting for each race/gender combo, but they also don't want to have the protag be silent either like in the first Dragon Age.
Its kinda shitty but Bioware do what Bioware do I guess.
>>340786036

>Still have to play Human
This is what pisses me off.
The one thing I had fun with in ME3 was muliplayer as different races. Krogan, Geth, Batarian. I even remember soloing gold with a Vorcha. All felt unique and fun to play as.
Instead you'll just be Shepard esque Human spamming weapons again.

The armor looks like shit but it got me thinking about a drone-based class.
That's all Mass Effect really needs. More diverse classes that actually play different from each other aside from "use X power every 15 seconds" against "Y armor type" with everything else being bland shooting with the same five bland guns.
>>340795265
I don't have mains but i don't find the Volus very fun, it's just a support infiltrator.

This looks like Destiny.
>>340796067
I don't mind the concept behind Tali's picture, but the execution was beyond awful.
>>340786036
A good story.
The only reason I didn't like ME3 was the ending. The game was great apart from that. I mean, there's stuff I don't like, I liked ME more when it was more RPG oriented and before some of the characters got jerseyshore'd and shit like that. But really, the game was still amazing... until that fucking ending.
>>340788912

>>340797649
Probably Mirror's Edge, which they proceeded to run into the ground with their abortion of a sequel.
>What will it take to win you back /v/?
1. Not being forced to play a human in a game with multiple different races.
2. Actually having RPG elements back.
3. Actual story choices.
4. Actual dialogue choices.
5. This is a game based in space. It can't be linear. You should be able to tackle any part of the game at any point in time, besides the ending of course. Have scaling levels/enemies to achieve this.
None of this will happen though. It'll be a mediocre as fuck game just like Fallout 4.
>>340789249
>no male homos or bis
>more romance

>>340797167
For me it was amazing. I do believe ME1 is better than ME2, and ME2 better than ME3. I know ME2 and ME3 got more shooterish and tried to appeal to the masses, and I didn't like that change. They were still good games that I enjoyed playing a lot. But the ending of ME3 really blew me up. It was the anti-climax.
>>340791983
When the truth physically hurts
A fresh team featuring competent developers and writers that look back on the original Mass Effect and not the sequels, along with games that inspired it such as Star Control 2 and even other EA future in space IPs such as Project: Firestart and Dead Space as inspiration, and make it the best god damn space opera RPG (i.e. not glorified cover based shooter with tacked on RPG elements) ever made. Hell, I'd prefer if they'd just pretend the last two games didn't even happen, just make the world their own.
And mimic the choice and consequence system in Alpha Protocol in order to give an actual sense of taking part in important conversations that have immediate effect on how things turn out instead of just going the lazy Good-Neutral-Bad rout.
>>340786036
a ending where all the forces you collected from the past 3 games create a giant mecha shepard that kung fus the shit out of the reapers, rather than them making a fucking giant space dildo
Say what you will about the rest of the series, but you can't deny the comfyness of navigating to different worlds from your own spaceship. It's a feeling unique to ME.

You mean like that turret at Palaven? That'd be pretty fun actually.
>>340791374
This desu ohana
>>340795139
The Herrier was the fucking shit. I still can't believe those idiots over at BSN were crying about nerfing it. They also wanted to nerf the Claymore's damage when the entire purpose of the gun was that it was a fucking handcannon. There wasn't any PVP so I don't understand why actual players wanted to gimp some of the best weapons. Fucking morons.
>>340799936
Something that's bigger, looks stronger and will fuck shit up with laser-point accuracy with a high rate of fire and homing rockets and shit. If it stays all faggy and small like then then the damn thing had better have an A.I. that lets it flank enemies and take attention off of you but also not be a flimsy thing that's killed in a number of bullets. Engies were always awful in this series while the Biotic classes got so much more love. i just don't want a power gap.
'Course I'm gonna be rolling Sentinel again anyway. The Batman class. The class that gives you all of the tools to succeed, all of the weapons to compliment any team members, and survivability on your own terms. The one class the player chooses when they can't trust their teammates to get the job done. Fucking hell I loved Sentinel in ME3.
>>340786036
No forcing sjw politics.
Legit tho, everyone working at Bioware should have killed themselves after they saw Witcher 3.
Way to have your 20 year RPG focuses studio blown the fuck out of your own genre by a group of illiterate poles with 3 games and some piracy under their belts.
>>340800325
I like how you think Anon, also good taste for classes. Everyone picks Vanguard or Infiltrator.
The ability to make a gay character/romance a gay character
I just hope the new alien designs are going to be good.
daily reminder that we could have had Yuri romance with Tali, but apparently her VA was vehemently against it. And since she was so good they gave into her and dropped it.
>>340800883
Good. Yuri is shit tier fetish.
>no open-world
>no super serious plot like ME3's
>>340800883
Well fuck, why do you think there was no homo option in ME1/2? Dude they modeled default face after didn't want to be seen doing gay shit until EA gave him enough dosh.
>>340800949
Are you some kind of faggot?
>>340800883
What was the excuse for Garrus?
Anyone who wanted a gay male romance specifically wanted Garrus.
>>340786036
being able to fly the ship yourself. A space sim version of ME1.
>>340795461
Nope. You even get achievements for keeping a squad member in your party for the majority of the game. Meaning you'll need to at least play through 3 times if you want to get it for each character.
>>340800883
every character didn't need two-way romances.
>>340799769
Engineers are crazy strong in 2 and 3. My easiest Insanity runs through both of those games have been with engineer, you have an ability for everything except barriers(but you can get the anti-biotic barrier ammo as an bonus skill).
>>340801109
Space combat would definitely be a winner for me. It'd be shit tho cos it'd be nothing more than a gimmick.
>>340801160

>>340801191
Overload works with barriers in 3. It makes no sense but Banshees are a lot easier with it.
>>340786036

Yeah, totally forgot about that, I mostly remember 2 since I played through that game on Insanity 5 times with different classes, I only played through 3 once with my engineer on insanity because of that fucking ending.
bioware to fuck off
I mean even if the game were good just the fact that it's on origin alone is enough to dissuade me from buying it, and I sure as shit won't be able to pirate it because lol denuvo

Exactly. What exact reason is there to trust Bioware/EA products?

>>340786036
Nothing, just fucking end it already
Reminder that if you liked the direction me2 took you are to blame for everything happened in me3, fuck ea, fuck focusgroups, fuck gears of war. I just wanted my pseudo star trek to get 2 more games

Here's hoping we can actually customize the Normandy. I don't mean the weaponry ala ME2 because all of that shit was just for the narrative. I'd like to actually place decals and fully customize the way my ship looks like. Flying around space liberating xenomorph parasites from their petty political struggles and abducting a Suicide Squad in my gaudy golden spaceship sounds pretty pimp.
I also fucking wish we could have space combat. Wear like a rocket-pack and scavenge around asteroid rocks and debris from dead stars/colonies while shooting the shit out of enemies. Though that sounds really ambitious and likely not a thing that's going to be feasible. But customizing the goddamn Normandy sounds super possible. If I'm to have a connection to the ship I want it to reflect my tastes.

Don't like his hair. I won't be playing him anyway because I dig making my own shitty looking faces but I can't believe we're going to be looking at this in Mass Effect SFM going into the future. He has the look of a sidekick, not a main character.
>>340800883
The voice actor has acted as a lesbian character called Femme Lez, I seriously doubt she's the reason why. Bioware probably knew they'd be called hypocrites for having all the ME2 women bi but none of the men.
They'll win me back if the game is being developed by Polish people and they change the title to Cyberpunk 2020.
I hope Prey 2 is revealed this year and takes all of Mass Effect's steam.
>>340788563
Finally. Disguising myself as a bee will help me to win.
I bought ME3 on launch with the day one dlc
I thought it would be good
I don't know, man.
Mass Effect 3 made my little sister cry.
I ain't gonna let that go easy.

Didn't they say that every race worth bringing along (i.e. no Yahg, Varren or Rachni) would go to Andromeda?
Almost nothing. You know that there are going to be shit eaters who really like it either way, so I'm sure it'll do well enough. I'll probably torrent it like I did 3 just to confirm it's shit. Now that we're in the streaming age I might not even do that.
A time machine.
Followed by a purge of most if not all of Bioware's post-ME1 writers.
Followed by a team of artists who can actually design humans without making them look like potato blobs.

The setting is irrevocably fucked, so they'll have to retcon or asspull a lot of things (e.g. I fully expect them to asspull a fixed mass relay network or some other method of FTL). They don't have the talent to pull that kind of thing off.
Thanks to denuvo I probably won't play this at all

"Choices that affect the story" is a nebulous thing and nobody really seems to know what they actually mean by this.
Imo a relatively simple solution would be
>paragon/renegade exists, but is a hidden value and doesn't affect your dialogue options
>various npcs/squadmates have opinions/positions on specific issues
>reaction is based on the combination of "in or out of alignment" as well as "agreeing or disagreeing"
>If you're normally "paragon" but suddenly choose a renegade option(or vice versa), your squadmates will be surprised
>If you say something that disagrees with someone's core beliefs, they may challenge you
>If you have a pervasive pattern of disagreeing with someone you might not be able to pass a crucial speech check, they might leave, or some other penalty
>Bonus points: It's possible to be duplicitous but if you don't plan it all out eventually people will catch on to your shit
>Extra bonus: if you manage to retain the loyalty of someone ideologically opposed to you, sometimes you can use them in negotiation(or at least get a hidden "charisma"-type bonus)
>>340802925
As if /v/ cares.
>>340787130
For me, good Bioware games are games where the main story is shit, but the sidequests and sub-stories for each location you journey to are actually worthwhile. The fact that Inquisition has basically no sidequests blows my mind.
>>340786664
You didn't accidentally fuck a trap, you fucked a guy because you're too insecure to admit you're a faggot

There was actually a very brief moment last gen when EA wasn't shit and Activision was the big bad.
That good will soon went away thanks to Bioware.

Makes sense, actually.
Quarians and Volus are limited by their by requirements, and Salarians have short life spans and their breeding requires specialized environments too.
Still sucks.

I'm just citiing fact, you overprotective shill fag.

You don't get to that point without succumbing to hubris.

Nothing.
They are dead to me.
>>340803447
Just saying, that's not what the protag is going to look like.
Given Bioware's track record of character design he's most likely not going to look very good.

When has EA ever shown that kind of restraint?
I won't get anything from ea, hell, they even took back/deleted the "yours to keep on the house games" I downloaded on origin.
Fuck em.
ME 1 and DA 1 were the last good games from them.
>>340796943
This was so fucking lazy I am amazed to this day it happened the way it did
>>340796943
They could have at least made it look like an in-game character.
>>340786036
a new IP and absolutely no cultural marxism of contrived notions of equity; no social justice pandering. have a merit based moral system and a story that challenges real ethical philosophies like deontologism vs consequentialism vs utilitarianism, maybe hire someone who can is well read to write for you instead of hiring people like hamburger helper.
until this at the least is established I'm resolved to never play another bioware game again.
Nothing. If the same people who made ME3 are abondoning ship, then you know its gonna be another Duke Nukem Foever.

Well whatever ship we're going to get I want to be able to customize.
If not, then screw it. They can devote resources to better gameplay.
>>340786036
I want to be able to be a dick, granted ME has also had pretty good renegade dialogue and actions, but Inquisition has me worried even if it's not the same team. In Inquisition you were forced to be the good guy no matter what and the closest thing to a renegade you could get was just an angry choice every once in awhile
>>340786036
for the multiplayer to be as good as the previous
that shit was so fun
Mass Effect is the gayest, more normie, tumblrcore game that exists.
Even worse than Dragon Age, even worse than Skyrim.
Mass Effect is the most shitty, mass appeal piece of trash there is in this world.
>>340786036
More cozy places like the Citadel and Noveria in ME1. I don't care if they're empty. I liked them 100x better than ME2 Citadel and Illium. Also they better not fuck up and pull a "singleplayer MMO" like Inquisition

Not to take away from that, but I think the biggest overriding problem, as almost always when narrative focused media turns out a disappointing sequel, is that the lead writer was gone.
Writers oddly enough get overlooked as one of the most crucial aspect in the mixed medias all the time, and it seems they only have the status and influence they deserve in comics and on tv.
Both the AAA video game industry and the blockbuster film industry routinely makes the same mistake of underestimating their influence (especially confounding when it comes to the movies since in all but the most experimental cases, no script = no movie, so you'd think that having a well functioning one would be of the outmost importance), and seeing that most AAA want to deliver "cinematic" experiences, you'd think it would be one of the most important elements to keep consistent in quality with what made your franchise a franchise.
