>after the mass relays were destroyed, humanity was separated from the rest of the galaxy but had the Citadel parked above Earth along with what remained of the Batarians and Krogan, they formed their own alliance. The Council races over time also built their own superstructures and formed their own alliances. Over 600 years in the future, the mass relays are all repaired and rebuiltFirst point and we're already retconning 3's ending, with Hackett implying the rebuilding of the relays happens within his lifespan and we outright seeing Wrex and Grunt, who were on Earth during the Catalyst activation, landing on Tuchanka in the Krogan DMZ relay. Now, suddenly, the galaxy was separated for nearly six centuries yet everyone somehow made it out.>technology has advanced so far from the aftermath of the Reaper War that it has reached a singular point. Reapers are outdated tech so if you chose Control, they're not going to be as impactful as they wereThe Reapers had been running the cycles for billions of years, but six centuries is enough to make them irrelevant. Their tech is outdated, which is why it took the galaxy 600 years to rebuild the relays>the third faction was the Geth. These three factions aren't in open war, rather it's a cold war situation with an unknown enemy seemingly pulling the strings which you are sent out to investigateAN ANCIENT EVIL AWAKENS again. They didn't learn a goddamn thing>the Geth built the white relays from the concept art years ago, which connects the Milky Way to AndromedaThoroughly retarded timeskip just to force Andromeda down our throats>you're an N7 agent, but unlike Shepard who the devs describe as a walking gun rack, you are an agent; a precision instrument. They wanted the gameplay to feel like James Bond meets John Wick>what made Shepard special was being a Spectre. The new MC was gonna have experimental tech in his head that uniquely interacted with his physiologyWe have Johnny Silverhand at home
>able to interact with the world in unique ways. Think Cyberpunk 2077's hacking, looking through walls, finding pipes, exploding them remotely behind enemies, that kind of thingYou know, "that kinda thing". 600 years in the future, supposedly more advanced tech than even the fucking Reapers, yet you need brand new experimental shit in your head to scan pipes in walls when you could do that shit with a regular Omni-Tool six centuries ago>the implant is seen in action when biotic charging the Salarian and scanning his face to "gather information">your missions would be similar to 1, 2, and 3's traditional handcrafted maps, but you can approach them free form, similar to the Hitman series or the start of Noveria. You can talk to people, assess, analyze, and execute with more freedom. But if you wanted, you could go in guns blazing>"We then see our human female companion, and oh yes, she looks cute. She has a cute face and a good body. Maybe the devs knew it's what their audience wanted. Rich companions that weren't masculine and muted to keep certain people happy"Pussy trying too hard to defend his masters after a decade of failures>"If you slow it down, you can see that yes, the girl is naked in this romance scene. So, the game is going to be gritty, darker, and made for adults"DittoWe were spared such a disappointing fucking mess you have no idea.
Cope. It sounds kino. Losing mass effect is not a net win for gamers
>>750244692Frankly, what the fuck was going to stop the Leviathans from enslaving the rest of the galaxy again.
>>750245645Sorry about your layoff from BioWare.
6 years and still in "early development" this state of this game must have been an absolute shitshow for ea to not only cancel the game but delete the studio.
>>750245849A kid and an AI can do better in 6 months. >>750245645You mean gaymers. Go make your own fag effect
Geth shouldn't exist that is the damn point of the destroy ending.
>>750245705>>750245849>>750246047Saudi cocksocker 1, 2 and 3.
The "best" ending they were clearly pushing for has every living thing in the galaxy become half robot. I don't see how they can just handwave that away as irrelevant, even if technology has advanced to the point reapers aren't a big deal.
>>750244692lol at people larping that this game would have been good with the shitty cutscene and dog tier animation of fights
>>750245645I could shit out a that would have been more entertaining than the slop these adults can write.
>>750246128I hate you more than I hate Islam. Traitors and saboteurs first
>>750245645Lmao it would have been toned down and reworked to send the message after they hire 10 consultant agencies to make the game more female friendly.They censored the ME legendary edition for fucks sake.
>>750246128The troops at Broward would know a lot about cocksucking, maybe they should've cocksucked their owners and actual customers.
>The new MC was gonna have experimental tech in his head that uniquely interacted with his physiologyI hope this fad dies real quick, it's such a lazy way to tell stories. When I saw it used in a Sherlock Holmes Frogware game a few years back it made me irrationally angry.
>>750246387This>>750246128Maybe that whore who was the writer for the game should have organised a company wide orgy for EA so that they could keep their jobs for 1 more game.
>>750244692
>>750246154>organic biology just, like, adapted maaaaaan
>>750246728Fruit salad
>>750246728>for uswhatever you say tranny
>>750246728I cannot stress enough how funny it is to say this stuff so confidently from a pre-production position
>>750246951Not only that, but from a point of view outside the game's development. That dude isn't a BioWare dev, he's a fucking Youtuber given preferential treatment before the game was cancelled.
>>750244692>>750244707>>750246728Can I play as a trans lesbian?
Nothing after ME1 is cannon
>>750244692Is that Simu liu?
>>750246728>romance wasn't being sanitisedSoviet tier levels of brazen lies.
>>750244692>>750246728>Human x Batarian alliance>Shepard's legacy preservedI'm glad it's dead, jim
>>750246728>set 600 years after reapersDropped. Even if I didn’t have to be commander Chang I ain’t playing that.
>>750248247No but see, it was to connect it to your favorite game, Andromeda!
Good riddance
>>750246728How the fuck did the Humans, Krogans and Batarians ally together? What kind of random assed alliance is that? Batarians hated Shepherd, no way that alliance would make sense.
>>750244692GUYS I'M GOING TO MAKE MASS EFFECT 4 AND NOT BE A FUCKING RETARD ABOUT IT. Here I go:>Picks up shortly after ME3>Commander Shepard is the MC>Continues after the destroy (red) ending>Mass Effect 1 crew returns (Ashley, Liara, Wrex, Grunt, Tali, and Joker), throw in Miranda and Jack from Mass Effect 2. Other crew can fuck off. >Kino crew member side content>Refined exploration from ME1, with refined combat from ME2>Actual choices that matter and impact the story>Endings reflect choices made, and will carry into ME5>No DEI woke agenda shit, no massive development teams with counterproductive roles, and no endless development time. Give me 20 good men to get the job done>Story telling with likeable characters, believable villains, and no copouts like "it was the little boy this whole time">Focus on comfy>Focus on funThere its not that fucking hard
>>750244692>>750246728>AndromedaDropped and DOA.
>>750246728>Shepherd's legacy preservedIncredible fumble not taking the chance to confirm the brainwashing theory and use that as a "true end"
>>750246728>Connections between the Milky Way and AndromedaThis is the most damning point. Your last game bombed but you're lucky enough that it's set 2.5 million light years and 600 years away from the rest of trilogy. You don't have to acknowledge it at all, just pretend it never happened. And you choose to connect it. For what, the fucking Angara? There was nothing cool in that game that anyone wants to see in the Milky Way
I experience unrestrained jubilation knowing that faggots and trannies won't have their Veilguard-In-Space DEI slop video game. Mass Effect can finally rest.
>>750248806>I'M GOING TO MAKE MASS EFFECT 4 AND NOT BE A FUCKING RETARD ABOUT IT>Commander Shepard is the MC
>>750248897
>>750245645yeah im sure the veilguard devs were about to make kino you fucking faggot retard
None of these words even matter. Have fun wasting your time over spoiled milk.
>>750244707So its an immersion sim set in the ME universe? Could actually be good if done well, most likely they would have tried to do too much at once and bungled the whole thing though.
>>750249061Shepard is the lead character whether you like it or not, and it would be impossible to make a Mass Effect 4 without Shepard.
>>750246728>Humanity, Krogan, Batarians, and more allied together.Humans are niggers confirmed.
>>750249242>the experimental tech in MC's head is digitized shepherd>no, we didn't get Keanu to act it out
>>750248016Russians don't lie, friend
>>750248190What's wrong with that?
reaveal cinematic with a female MC would have done less damange than having the marketing face be some Simu Liu lookalike chink.
>>750249025>>750248806It was so simple and yet they still found the dumbest way to fuck things up. Just make it a direct follow up to 3 and everyone wins.
>people saying mass effect should be given to CDPRaww hell naw, they take a fucking decade to churn out a generic buggy posgive it to eidos montreal
>>750248480> Batarians hated Shepherd, no way that alliance would make sense.Yes, but following the Reaper attack, they were the first to take the blow, and nearly their entire population was decimated with no way to escape. Yet, a number of individuals survived, and Shepard, carrying the guilt for what had transpired, helped them rebuild their population to its former strength, ultimately being revered as the mother of their species.
>>750249575Gave it to Owlcat.They are the only one who still make good RPGs
>>750249669I wouldn't mind that either but the GOTG game by eidos was amazing. others are saying larian but idk, they haven't made a 3d game in so long. and obsidian is a safe choice but outer worlds was a generic mess and they seem to have their own issues with preachy bullshit
>ME needs a new developer!ENTERNTER
750249669>owltroon>rpgs
>>750249669scatcat can't even release one game where the final chapters dont feel unifished.
>>750249787> larian Lol. Lmao evenThe have not make a single good game like ever. They are woke, have strong anti-gamer resentment and don't know how to make good games
>>750249913but divinity 2 dragon knight saga was fucking amazing, if a bit jankyif you confuse it with divinity original sin 2 you're a retard btw
>>750249856No, thanx, it is better for series to be bad than to be given into Ben Swine's hands
>>750249913>The have not make a single good game like ever.Name your five favorite RPGs
>>750249946> if you confuse I don't.I've played their games since Beyond Divinity and they all are fucking trash
>>750250015Underrail, Arcanum, Fallout 1-2, BG1-2, Colony Ship, TaoD, VTMB, VTMR, WOTR, Rogue Trader, Encased
>>750250027nah divinity 2 was great, I'll agree their style is a bit... reddit and I'd rather it not touch mass effect tho
>>750249396Bruh, Slavs and Chinks are pretty much the only two subsets of people on Earth who are genetically incapable of telling the truth.
>>750248480>KrogansThis is the easiest. They don’t have a longstanding beef like with Turians, Salarians and Asari. And if Genophage is cured, it was in part due to humans.>BatariansLots of them are wiped off by Reaper initial attack so them remaining peaceful for a while is plausible. But territory claims, culture differences, bad sentiment towards humans, hard to see that disappear.Also not towing Citadel to its old location after fixing it up a bit so it doesn’t fall apart with a relay jump is prime retardation.
>>750249913Literally no one buys any of this.
>>750250071pretending to hate bg3 but praise bg1-2 is always one of the biggest retard takes on this boardi have hundreds of hours in every bg game, there is no way someone outright dislikes bg3 but enjoys bg1-2 without it stemming from some politically slanted butthurt
>>750250267BG1-2 and BG3 are completely different games.BG3 is just DOS3 in a different colored coat and with a ridiculous fake mustache. It is a game that despises its past, mocks the legacy of a once-great series, denies everything that made BG1-2 interesting and beloved, and tries to force the developers' political worldview.The real BG3 is WOTR, which is spiritually and mechanically much closer to BG1-2 than Larian's BG3 will ever be.
>>750250267My brother in Christ.... Larian themselves hate older BG games
>>750250267>>750250267> there is no way someone outright dislikes bg3 but enjoys bg1-2You are kidding, right?
>>750250392Дocoшиз, тaблeтки
>>750244692>Batarim glad it's dead, i'm fine wih use being friends with the krogans, krogans are coolbut not batarians, let's give the batarians to the turian and get the asari, it's what shep would have wanted
>>750250267fuck off with your tired bait
>>750244692Sounds like shit. Glad they died desu.
>>750250550>original new mass effect>kill 300,000 batarians>eh whatever it had to be done>nu mass effect>why would humans be racist against batarians?
>>750250427wasn't this bitch that one drow the villagers wanted to lynch in bg2? I'm fairly sure I let her get killed kekwont ever play bg3 but divinity 2 is amongst the goated of action rpg
>>750244692I'm baffled by the choice of Catherine Valente to write the story, it makes me wish I could see what that would even look like.
>>750250493>>750250427>>750250392>>750250587It's that easy to farm (you)s, huh?
>>750249025What, you are telling me you didn't want to see a matriarch Peebee make a cameo in the Milky Way?
>>750244692>>750244707Mass Effect 3 released in 2012. It took them 15 years to to make up how to retcon Mass Effect 3.So glad BioWare and Mass Effect died.
>>750250267BG3 and BG1-2 are similar in name onlyThey are entirely different beasts. Most BG3 fans were not even alive when the first two games released.
>>750251850Yeah but BG2 didnt have a shit ending that killed the franchise.
>>750244692no sheperd no buy you tranny freaks
