Everything Wrong With Mass Effect

It may work but the thing is that they should've take the time and think things over and practice balance and consistency, and if they done that they're never put themselves into a situation that they are in the first place.

A person who loves video games will give feedback to creators to improve flaws and ideas not allowing them to screw up. And BioWare obviously failed to do and that causes a lot of problems for them and other developers out there are giving gamers better offer than BioWare ever could. 

NOTHING is wrong with MET

It's not just the story, but how the story is told. Example: "It was me and Bob. We was at Safeway. That @#%, Bob said this, and I punched that @#% and I broke out. " And then there's "They call me Ishmael". It's all in how the story is told. Just don't throw Purina on a plate and tell me it's prime rib, is all I'm sayin'.

I get what you are saying but I don't get the context of specific examples.  Because that can apply to the first game. And if you upset with it in the first game and particularly the second game that went way off the rails into left field. To the point ME3 basically had to do the job of 2 full games. By the time you get to the 3rd you should consider it normal and acceptable. Other wise you should have gotten off on the first two stops.

Take a look @ Witcher 3 for an example of how the quests are connected and affect the story depending what choices you make, and your choices matter with the endings which Mass Effect 3 lacks. Even the character development is superior of how they humanize them to have the players emotionally connect to them, and for that CDPR did a damn good job creating balance of story, characters, and gameplay. With that being said BioWare really need to step up their game if they want to stay relevant.

But Witcher does it better because they provide every detail that Geralt's actions affect the outcome of every quest that it shows events. Take Novingrad for example where you help Triss to escape with mages from the witchhunters, and even though you succeed the witchhunters decide to murder nonhumans and burn books because of his actions. I love that kind style where there is no black and white of your actions, and that is what BioWare should've done with ME3. Because they are things that you have to make the best choices out of the worst options, sometimes you have to do bad things to have good endings or certain events that can affect the story.

And once again the character development of Witcher outplay Mass Effect. I mean come on! The whole story is about Geralt finding and protecting Ciri, and I love how they create a bond to get players emotionally invest in. Even the romances are well done that make BioWare look like novices.

Dude you missing out. Witcher 3 was one of the best Action/RPG games ever made and the DLC should've been scrapped because it's very dry, childish, and completely kills the mood of the story. Who in their right mind is gonna get on the dance floor and partying while the Reapers are annihilating organic life in the galaxy? They should party after the Reapers were defeated. This is what I'm talking about BioWare should practice consistency.

It would make sense if they having a get together on the Normandy before the final battle but the Citadel DLC is corny as hell.

So is this an actual thread criticizing flaws and problems in MET. Or is this just a silly thread who's main complaint is Mass Effect is not Witcher? Which is a stupid complaint because obviously they are different games thus have different flows and aspects.  You are not Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking. Does that mean you are a fucking moron because you are you and not them? You are also not Usain Bolt who ran the 100M in 9.6 seconds. Does that also make you a fat lazy fuck who sits around in a pile of his own cheeto dust? Because if you are going to try and make direct comparisons between two games in different genres with different sets ups (IE sand box vs semi linear shooter) then anyone can compare you to literally anyone who has ever done anything major or important or is held in high regard for any reason. Compare them to you and show how shitty a person you are in comparison.

And I'm more then familiar with sand box games. They look big and are impressive but they ultimately boil down to collect, kill, rescue.  Much like ME. Same thing different way.


You do realize that even during such events as WW1/2, Korean War, Vietnam, Desert Storm/Iraqi Freedom people were still holding parties. Soldiers when their tour of duty was over would come home and have parties for various reasons. Party they were home, birthday party of someone or just to go out with friends and drink.  So BioWare is pretty consistent on that part.  Unless you want to argue with a couple of Vets who served active duty in the middle east that they are wrong about how they act and behave.  In that case it will be very very funny. Particularly if you have never served in any armed forces in active combat zones.  Arm chair generals telling actual soldiers how they were suppose to act is always amusing to see. Even more so when it is something this stupid and petty.

Oh there are a few things I do agree BioWare should be consistent with. But the topic of soldiers having one last party before the big push (If you want all possible people to be there)  to end the war isn't one of them. Because human nature and action are by default inconsistent. You are inconsistent going from criticism about MET based on the aspect of the game it self to whining about MET because it isn't the Witcher 3.  The clone aspect of Citadel DLC is inconsistent though sort of vaugly fits over all story line. But the party it self is still well within the realm of logic. Particularly since at several times you meet characters at a club on the Citadel.

Concise enough?
