Mass effect

>Imagine if we got a game where you were just a c-sec officer, busting crimes on the citadel only to get caught up in some grand conspiracy, maybe you get framed and have to leave for omega or something.
That's Telltale levels of story. No thanks.

That would be better for the next game if there is one. Something low stakes with GOOD writing, a space cop drama would be perfect a

People aren't going to wait 10 years, between Mass Effects, to play a game, set in a single location, that won't even be expanded on any more than previous games did? Also, expecting good writing to carry a Bioware game.

I remember Bioware asked on twitter if fans wanted a game centered on the first war between humans and turians and pretty much everyone answered no because it wasn't epic enough. Instead we got Andromeda.

I never played andromeda. Was it teally that bad? Do you have to cure the genophage again?

Story wise? Yeah, there were a couple things I liked but the majority of it was shit.
Game play is amazingly better than before, in my opinion.

>Was it teally that bad?
Yes pretty much everything about it was awful.

>Do you have to cure the genophage again?
No but the krogan there are some super special kind that are resistant to the genophage or some shit. Also they all sound like faggots.

Seriously I'd have thoighj
t that would be a really popular idea

>Do you have to cure the genophage again?
No. The game tells you they did so on the way. And just to make sure everybody understand how BETTER the Initiative is compared to the Milky Way, Asari scientists, during their trip and in large intervals of cryo, with zero resources to spare, managed to cure the genophage, when the Elcor Combine, as stated in ME1, bankrolled by many Krogan PMCs and decades of effort said they could not do it. But that Initiative, right? So much better than the Milky Way. Why would you even want to go back there? They are all incompetent and lesser compared to Andromeda.

There is absolutely nothing interesting about the first contact war.

Amazing.

This is the same problem that Game of Thrones and now Star Wars are also going through; when you have an unhealthy franchise, there is little incentive for the fanbase to go back and see things that happen before, off to the side or even after, if they don't specifically address the problems fans have with the franchise. Interest is low, expectations are lower and trust is non-existent.

I wish I could buy ME again on PC, but EA are faggots and made it 3 times the price on steam to try and get people to use their shitty origin service. Is it easy to pirate?

>is it easy to pirate a 10+ year old game
How is this even a question

To Liara, always to Liara... I love her...

Older ones can be a pain in the ass to pirate, especially if they have weird DRM. I tried to pirate quake 4 but couldn't get it to work since it was so old the cracks didnt work on windows 10

Fuck, if we didn't have to have humans to self-insert we could have had a game about the rachni wars or the krogan rebellions, actually play up the fact that the rachni were a threat to the galaxy. Didn't feel that way when fighting them in the first game.
Hell, i'd play an asari commando if we had to have something that looks like a human.

Nobody in the Combine actually tried plus even if they did try they'd be risking the wrath of STG

Plus they dont cure the genophage in andromeda just improve the birth rate to more than 1 baby if they're lucky

Afaik they don't have any sort of big drm, i never bought them on pc. You might miss out on multiplayer in 3 but who cares, it's dead.

>i'd play an asari commando
Fuck, I wish.

Raep

>go to the mainstream torrent site
>get magnet link
>get torrent
>install the game
Done.

ME works fine in windows 10, I played it not so long ago.

pleasure planet for some space hookers. then run up a tab untill my crew abadons me and a price is put on my head. fuck saving the galaxy i want to bang bitches.

>Nobody in the Combine actually tried plus even if they did try they'd be risking the wrath of STG
They did try. It was one of the news bulletins you hear on the elevator in ME1. They admitted to failure and then the Krogan asked for a refund, which the Combine refused. The Salarians are nowhere mentioned.

>Plus they dont cure the genophage in andromeda just improve the birth rate to more than 1 baby if they're lucky
So they doubled birth rates, at the very least. Sounds like more than what the Milky Way ever managed to do. Did I ever mentioned just how much better and diverse and tolerant and therefore better the Initiative is, compared to the Milky Way? I mentioned better twice. I know. It's intentional. It's because its that much better.

>where do you go first?
The Azure

Where's that?

The nether regions

>Imagine wanting Andromeda quality ME to touch the Rachni Wars or the Turian War. At least Andromeda can be safely isolated and discarded in a galaxy far away.

I'd rather play as a turian vanguard or an STG agent to be honest.

Those options are good too, but I want to play asari desu. My fantasy - Liara's and Sheps daughter - asari commando. Benezia Shepard.

Good face
Nice fitting romance especially if you are sole survivor
Good character development

>Imagine if we got a game where you were just a c-sec officer, busting crimes on the citadel only to get caught up in some grand conspiracy, maybe you get framed and have to leave for omega or something.
Back to your cuckshed craut

Bioware would never go ahead with that. That would be cannonizing the romance and therefore deleting all other LIs. Since romance was a big part of ME, that would make a whole lot of people REEEE.

Oh, I get that, though they could do Dragon Age like origin stories and some of them could be Sheps children/descendants. Not that it will happen, but it's just my fantasy, as I said.

They can't make a post ME3 game without making one of the endings canon and they'll never do that. Just another way ME3 fucked up the franchise.

Indeed. They should first do a ME3 remake with a sensible ending.

Not having played Andromeda, sounds dumb all the council-affiliated aliens got together to send an interspecies Noah's ark. It'd be more fun if they all did so on their own accord, and they'd vye for a new power balance after arriving in a viable system. Why they'd even bring Krogan along willingly boggles the mind, let alone half-way cure the genophage.

It could have been akin to the colonisation of the Americas by European powers, opening a new front of war and intrigue with natives thrown in the mix as enemies, pawns and allies depending on the situation.

Mass Effect was one of the few sci fi (and also shooter) series that I cared about. Too bad they had to mess it up...

The citadel is my favorite place in the galaxy

>Why they'd even bring Krogan along
Because player base was:
>SO GOOD
What's you favourite shop on Citadel?

>interspecies Noah's ark
Wanna know the funniest part? Everyone out there is the least unsuitable for reproduction possible.

They'll just make more shit. I'd rather Shepard's children be left to imagination. Otherwise, we'll just get Kylo Ren and Rey Palpatine 2.0.

Sure they can. Claim that Control and Synthesis ends conflict forever, therefore there is no continuation for those endings, but Shepard Survives Destroy ending leaves room for more. Bring back old crew, because dumping them was a huge mistake, as already proven and go on from there. Then, slowly work your way into establishing new characters, that are liked, phase the old ones out and renew the franchise. Like a sensible dev would do. Like Capcom is doing with Nero and Dante in DMC.

People hate change, Bioware. WHy do you think we've had 80 years of Superman comics?

>But the Comic book industry just died

Yeah. Because you turned all the heroes into gays, cucks, simps and Mary Sues. Women don't read that shit. Men don't read that shit. And guess what? you did the same with Andromeda. And that failed, too. It's almost like there's a connection.

>They'll just make more shit. I'd rather Shepard's children be left to imagination. Otherwise, we'll just get Kylo Ren and Rey Palpatine 2.0.
Maybe you're right, better off just saying that Shep lived with his LI (if any) - the End. Leave the rest for fanfics.

>It could have been akin to the colonisation of the Americas by European powers
It's [CURRENT YEAR] user. We can't be showing that. That would be like Dragon Age: Inquisition being about religious fanatics putting people to the fire for heresy. Instead it's about tolerance, diversity and inclusion.

>Dragon Age: Inquisition being about religious fanatics putting people to the fire for heresy. Instead it's about tolerance, diversity and inclusion.
That's because it was Cisquisition.

Stop bitching, you uplifted them. Now get back to your cabin.

But you know what the worst part is? People didn't show up for Andromeda, because of what they did with ME3. So they'll have to use old characters now. And they'll just fuck them up, because "forget the past, kill it if you have to". So they'll do even worse shit to them, to get you to hate them and accept their new stuff as saviours. Only you'll hate the devs for what they do to the old characters, instead and the Mary Sue-ness of the new characters will put you off them as well. So I hope either we never get another ME, or the next ME is long after this shit show is over and competent writers surface again, over just inclusive and diverse writers that promote stunning and brave brown and queer characters, over loved and established ones. So maybe, having ME4 come out in 2027 will actually be a good thing for the franchise. And maybe, by then, someone will go "you know what we did that really dug our graves? ME3. So let's undo that. Entirely". And then we can all live happily ever after.

I mean even if they did that, they'll have to make a lot of things canon ignoring what the players did. Is the genophage cured? Are the quarians dead? Which characters are alive? Last one could be solved by transfering saved states but the first two seem like it would change shit too much if they had to change the game accordingly.

That's what happens when you get footfags that try to simp for babes playing with their toes.
>When we found you, you couldn't count past your toes
As Javik says himself. All because of some Prothean footfag.
