I used to want a Kotor 3. But after this I don't. I don't want BioWare or EA to fuck it up so bad like they have Mass Effect. I'd just like BioWare to be put out of it's misery like Pandemic or Bullfrog.
Just let Bioware die. Please don't make them suffer anymore. Kill it. 😞😞😞

I wouldn't call it a train wreck. I've enjoyed the story so far and I never sit there crying my eyes out over the animations. I don't ever even notice how bad they are. Maybe you should all remember it is just a game? Even if the animations are the best ever, the game would still not be real. From yesterday. Repaired game and tried 4 times to give it a chance. This happened everytime. Had several other animation issues and other technical issues like having to do with not being able to start convos/being stuck in a conversation and not being able to choose a dialogue option and having to restart my game. On top of that, intended features in the game such as not being able to manual save during certain types of missions, planet traveling, emails only being on the ship and having to go through cutscenes just to get back on the ship and back on planet, etc. brought down my enjoyment of the game. Oh yeah and did I mention there was a gamebreaking glitch that I couldn't have for the life of me noticed until it was too late and had to restart after playing the SP for 50hrs? Had to repeat all of that because of a progression bug in one of the character plotlines. Sticking with MP as it's pretty fun till they patch the mess that is the SP side of their game. That said SP is overall enjoyable barring the technical issues, inconveniences, etc. present in the game, but these have hampered my experience too much to just tell myself and others to deal with it. Hopefully upcoming patches will greatly improve my and others' experiences in SP. On topic: There are so many issues with SP that it just baffles me that virtual sex is some players' main concern. Perhaps it's in part due to Bioware for emphasizing romances in this game and in some of their most recent games. Missed the days when romances were not being hyped up in their upcoming games and it was just some side content that people could be pleasantly surprised when they are in the game or be "oh well" if not and not have expectations set in regards to inclusion of their demographic, amount of content, type of content, etc. Instead, we have players that feel personally attacked/insulted when Bioware doesn't include their demographic or doesn't include them as much as others. For the players feeling this way it's pitiful. For devs it's stupid that they are emphasizing this aspect so much as romances hardly make up that much content in the game itself. Mine is cooler 😎 As as I stepped into the kitchen of the Tempest the other day, Drack suddenly had his "twin brother" over

Haha yes, we're so much better adjusted as human beings are we not my MP brethren? Fistbumps for us all. Basically, the longer those in this thread continue to circlejerk themselves to their perceived superiority (over a group of people who mostly aren't here to defend themselves), the more the MP subforum is denigrated. Not that shutting down this thread would make one iota of difference: same people + different thread = same problems. Not that I particularly give a shit anyway, either.

It's the same old us vs them refrain. Once that was gamers in general vs 'the populace' now I suppose it's too mainstream so we have to distinguish between different strains of people playing the same game and make it very clear that we're definitely not like those other reprobates.

I like SP. Yes, it has its flaws. Every game has, every single one. But the idea that this sub forum has some sort of "better" people is just as delusional as the idea that bsners are great while "pugs" have no skills. Like the thread from yesterday about people being pussies for not playing random/random is prime example that people are same everywhere. I would say, there IS probably less infighting and arguing, but that kind of stems from having smaller pool to draw crazies from and the fact that there is not enough hot content to get into fierce argument about, IMO.

or better yet, we didn't take any non hetro on the program because the point is to procreate and make a new outpost for humanity in Andromeda not let the species die off, we barely took enough for a viable colony never mind spare room for non breeders ..... Oh, that is a good one. I sense a troll post from this... not so much I mean think about it logically, you wouldn't put extra people in the mix if your entire thing was an ark project to ensure the survival of the species in a galaxy when you have limited space and your going to plan for a minimum of 50% death rate from the start of those that set out, in order to give them the best chance at getting it done your going to send only breeders to give that new home for mankind a fair chance. maybe if each species had two arks then you might have more disposable space to permit the "extras" but its highly unlikely

Some of the responses to this thread are fantastic. I think my favorite is that my post is totalitarian. That guy is an enemy of The People and will be sent to the gulag. I don't know if there's anything concretely better about MP concerns v SP but there's just....only so much I can listen to with a straight face. Look at this. It's a twitter protest bc you can only hump a space frog as 1 gendered protagonist. Just.....look at it. Twitter MakeJaalBi Can we get an MP twitter protest? MakeGunsHurt? JustSayNoToMelee?

I check both forums too. The MP players ARE more apt to be friendly or kid around because THEY PLAY AGAINST OR WITH EACH OTHER. SP players ARE often solo loner types. What type of player you are really seems to show in the forums. It makes sense. There are 3 types of players, SP, MP and SP/MP. There are also common personalities associated.

It's the same old us vs them refrain. Once that was gamers in general vs 'the populace' now I suppose it's too mainstream so we have to distinguish between different strains of people playing the same game and make it very clear that we're definitely not like those other reprobates. The thing is that the SP comunnity basically started this back when it was announced ME3 would have a multiplayer component. The whining was incredible... then it turned out the MP was actually pretty decent while the SP was kind of disappointing in the end. Anyways... I can't tell how many times I've read something like "but who buys a Mass Effect game for anything else besides a good story" (that's the friendly version) or something like that - at times also accompanied by some hate vs. the people who play mutliplayer. After the overall very unpolished game Bioware delivered with MEA some people -including me- argue that EA should have let the SP side of the franchise just be over with the end of Shepards story and instead they should have made a really good, well balanced and overall improved multiplayer only game within the Mass Effect universe instead of doing a mediocre SP and rather disappointing MP which we have now. Try bringing that topic up in the SP forums I'm not even necessarily bashing the SP at all. If people like it, that's fine by me. But the reason we are sometimes making fun of the people in the SP forums is pretty simple in my opinion. The mainly MP-oriented players care about the core gameplay. They worry about the countless bugs, balancing issues, lackluster enemy factions and many little things that concern gameplay, usability and performance. We actually see this as a GAME that is meant to be played to have fun. Then you take a look at some threads and posts in the SP forums and people complain about (in my eyes) rather not so important things and sometimes act as if this universe was their real life and the characters in it were their real husbands/wives etc. They get so upset and emotional sometimes... it just seems very weird... often in a bad and pitiful way which makes me wanna say "GET A (REAL) LIFE". Also it's just strange that most of us MPers welcome new faces and -while sometimes making fun of something some new player says- are overall often helpful. But in the SP forums pretty much everything you write is a ticking bomb and someone will sooner or later set it off. If you post something controversial in the SP forums... omg the shitstorms and some of the insults that come along with it are truly epic sometimes. At least that's my impression. Which is why I said earlier in this thread: stay away from the SP forums

For the record - I probably post as much in MEA General as I do in both MP forums.
I do not associate strongly with either group, but I like the personalities in the MP forums better. With the exception of a few meanies, we have either good discussion and exchange of game knowledge, or shitposting at a fairly high level.
I stay for the shitposting.

I post in the Lobby and the Sp section sometimes but I'm mainly here in this section, cause honestly the people here are much more laid back and accepting of humour and different personalities. I don't know how to explain it but the mp section is just more mature in a more humorous way. People are still childish and funny but they are not vicious or malicious towards others, I think that's what I mean with "mature", we're more capable of dealing with each other here. Dont know if any of that made any sense lol.

I think that the MP community is more interested in solid game mechanics whereas SP is more story driven.. I'm not as interested in my weapons in SP but in MP I try to optimise as best as I can. We're also used to grinding for stuff, whenever I play SP I am not that keen to wipe out an entire planet for some xp.. One good thing about SP is that they don't compare every single thing against ME3MP.. I never played much ME3MP and I'm sure it's superior in every way compared to every other game in existence but damn...this is a different game...

Oh, that is a good one. I sense a troll post from this... not so much I mean think about it logically, you wouldn't put extra people in the mix if your entire thing was an ark project to ensure the survival of the species in a galaxy when you have limited space and your going to plan for a minimum of 50% death rate from the start of those that set out, in order to give them the best chance at getting it done your going to send only breeders to give that new home for mankind a fair chance. maybe if each species had two arks then you might have more disposable space to permit the "extras" but its highly unlikely Since women are the limiting factor when it comes to population growth, the pragmatic thing to do would be sending 75% women and 25% men. Promote polygamy and having many children and use in vitro fertilization to ensure 75% of all offspring are female. You'd still have enough men to get shit done and an explosive population growth.

Promote polygamy and having many children and use in vitro fertilization to ensure 75% of all offspring are female. You'd still have enough men to get shit done and an explosive population growth. no your gene pool would be too small for a long term viable population, you need diversity or your going to suffer serious problems with birth defects a few generation down the line... you would load up 50/50 with people that were educated enough to understand they need to produce a minimum of 3 offspring establish schools and training centres quickly and get things moving in the right direction, otherwise your colony is going to regress quickly to nothing more than cave dwellers barely able to overcome the simplest of problems as things start breaking down .... you also need to have collected sperm /eggs from people as they wake up before they start running around so that even if they should become damaged they can still have kids (because 600+ years in cryo isn't going to leave you with any viable products.... space is at a premium on a star ship and whilst it might be every teenagers wet dream to have multiple "wives" from which to gain offspring, who's doing the work whilst there all up the duff and barely capable of walking ? a 25% male population wouldn't be able to support such a female heavy society even with automation available for some of the more mundane tasks....

not so much I mean think about it logically, you wouldn't put extra people in the mix if your entire thing was an ark project to ensure the survival of the species in a galaxy when you have limited space and your going to plan for a minimum of 50% death rate from the start of those that set out, in order to give them the best chance at getting it done your going to send only breeders to give that new home for mankind a fair chance. maybe if each species had two arks then you might have more disposable space to permit the "extras" but its highly unlikely Since women are the limiting factor when it comes to population growth, the pragmatic thing to do would be sending 75% women and 25% men. Promote polygamy and having many children and use in vitro fertilization to ensure 75% of all offspring are female. You'd still have enough men to get shit done and an explosive population growth. Make it 90/10 and we're talking.

Promote polygamy and having many children and use in vitro fertilization to ensure 75% of all offspring are female. You'd still have enough men to get shit done and an explosive population growth. no your gene pool would be too small for a long term viable population, you need diversity or your going to suffer serious problems with birth defects a few generation down the line... you would load up 50/50 with people that were educated enough to understand they need to produce a minimum of 3 offspring establish schools and training centres quickly and get things moving in the right direction, otherwise your colony is going to regress quickly to nothing more than cave dwellers barely able to overcome the simplest of problems as things start breaking down .... you also need to have collected sperm /eggs from people as they wake up before they start running around so that even if they should become damaged they can still have kids (because 600+ years in cryo isn't going to leave you with any viable products.... space is at a premium on a star ship and whilst it might be every teenagers wet dream to have multiple "wives" from which to gain offspring, who's doing the work whilst there all up the duff and barely capable of walking ? a 25% male population wouldn't be able to support such a female heavy society even with automation available for some of the more mundane tasks.... Well, you could load up a fuckton of frozen sperm and eggs from people in the MW to ensure genetic diversity. But I can see your point about the necessary infrastructure and personnel for upbringing and education to accommodate a high population growth. And colonists would be less than enthusiastic about fascist breeding programs and enforced eugenics. Still, it would make sense to screen out homosexuals as 'dead weight'. Except perhaps for lesbian couples willing to have children through artificial insemination.
