Is the BioWare/Mass Effect fanbase really filled with triggered snowflakes?

Yep, you nailed it. Welcome to the age of social media, where the toxic and insecure spew hate, hide behind anonymity and try to prove whose opinion is better. 

Because people can't just like whatever they want, they have to tell everyone else about it and attack whoever disagrees with them. And it's just going to get worse as there are more people online and more platforms to preach with. Even better, more opportunities to make money. 

It's incredible how far the gaming community as a whole has fallen in the past 5 years.

ME1 was more free roam than open world really. ME2 feltnon rails. Not saying that was a bad thing. Just what it was.

Even so. A few comments on a message board dont drive development and game design. We don't have the power it seems some think we do over what the devs want.

"People" as in fans weren't asking for open world. The EA execs were, because games like Skyrim did well. They attempted to cash in on what they thought made Skyrim popular. Following market trends

W3 did the same thing. Arguably better. Although I far prefer the Bioware games.

Wasn't Mass Effect's original concept pretty incoherent? Shepard's job wasn't exploration in the first place.

And the triggered angry troll masses consider it empirical vindication that the game was a total 1/10, even though it's a documented fact that worse games and games as negatively received by the critics and youtube pewdiepies still got some kind of dlc. Also, based on what I've seen on the forum, the biggest haters of the game also have the worst ideas for either continuing Andromeda or staying in the Milky Way for some sort of sequel.

They probably closed the forums because they were tired of the too exaggerated hate.

If you say "I didn't like this game for X reason", and many others have a similar opinion, you have a chance to be heard.

If you say "this game is shit", and some others add to the shit, you have a chance to be ignored.

So the tone of the critics is important unless you are a young one who just discovered shit, pee, etc ... and use the words to provoke his/her parents.

That's not fanbase I interacted with.

People have begging for Open World Mass Effect game since ME1 and were especially loud about it during ME2 days.

ME:A is the love letter for ME1 and ME1 fans, yet was ultimately rejected due to how bipolar BW fanbase is.


Also DA:I was the game that took a lot of ideas from Skyrim. And it worked, DA:I was the greatest financial success for BioWare and won GOTY. People didn't started shitting on that game until they went rabid over the Witcher 3.

Let's be clear first, this thread isn't directed to insult the true fans of the Mass Effect series. It's about all those "special" folks who are tearing the franchise and BioWare apart by screaming ME3 being a failure just because of it's ending even if the game was a masterpiece, MEA was quite decent yet they treat it as if it's an abomination. About 85% of the ME fanbase never gives BioWare a break and rips their games apart for the smallest issues, they literally want EVERY BW game to average 90+ on Metacritic and get 10's everywhere. Just recently saw IGN's review of Agents of Mayhem, despite the game being buggy and average almost 75% of the comments were urging peeps to support Volition. Never saw anyone doing the same for BioWare. Congratz BW "fans", you've successfully killed an amazing franchise. What's next? Dragon Age? Almost tried burying down a great game like DA:I since they didn't like some of the features or probably NO reason at all just to hate by giving their nonsense excuses like "SJWs", etc.

I'm sure this thread will roast me alive for this...
