WC - When Mass Effect 3 finally landed in our collective hands in March of this year, we were all overjoyed, and then many of us were quickly disappointed when, after playing through the riveting campaign, we were handed an ending that many deemed “cheap” and “lazy”. After promising that the huge save files people had invested so much time and effort in would have a biblical impact upon on the events of the third game, gamers everywhere were let down when, in actual fact, it all came down to one single choice in the final room of the game, where you essentially pick a colour, and sit back to watch the result of that choice.
Game Rant Writes "Canonicity can be a tricky nut to crack in franchises with continuing narratives, and that's something Mass Effect 4 will need to contend with."
wow gamerant forgot mass effect 4 came out years ago number 6 and 7 were cancelled.
The new mass effect which can be called number 5 will not have any of your choices why you might ask?
Well dragon age keep were your choices from number one can been seen in number 3 got unplugged from number one and number 2 is finicky.
Dragon age on pc requires a mod to get past the server login and non of your choices get uploaded to the keep even the dlc no longer works sense it needs a server check.
On xbox i teseted this only though local saves i was able to transfer choices from one to too but 0 of one dlc would work.
So if the more popular dragon age series is in this state why would they care about your mass effect choices?
Oh and that remaster that was tossed out still has day one issues and number 3 is still hard to play on pc do to lighting issues and ram limits imposed from 2014.
My expectations for the next bioware 2.0 titles is very low.
Game Rant Writes "Mass Effect 4 will likely treat Mass Effect 3’s Destroy ending as canon, and this gives it an opportunity to explore a post-apocalyptic galaxy."
Destroy is the best choice. Bring the relays back over the course of a new trilogy, maybe right at the end of the first game. Say it was Cerberus, Salarians or a bunch of keepers that created a relay.
Game Rant Writes "Mass Effect 4 has plenty of opportunities to change a lot about the franchise, particularly in the protagonist players can create."
“Mass Effect 4 Needs to Make One Major Change with the Protagonist“
To make sure the main characters face isn’t tired with the released game?
I know one more way to fix it: Stick to your promises.
As a whole i do not think the series is broken at all. It needs just a few tweaks that's all no overhaul of it required.
And Please no Co-Op or Change the whole damn game by making it an mmorpg.
What is wrong with an epic SINGLE PLAYER story driven rpg?
Bring Sheppard back and pretend the entire trilogy is canon and start from scratch. Then I'll give you a big maybe.
This series is by no means broken... in fact this series is my favourite of all time in video games.
Why are people judging an entire series, with upwards of 100 hours total gameplay, on the last 15 minutes!? The ending was not that bad, granted I would've liked scenes of what each member of the crew did after the ending, but overall I thought that it added a small dose of realism into the game - it didn't go for the typical "and they all lived happily ever after" ending because very rarely do we see that without some sort of cost, whether that be the eradication of a species, a person, or whatever.
BioWare did a smashing job on this series, and I would love to see more games in the Mass Effect universe.
People still think this is a broken serie and some how THEY know how to fix it, how about square enix fix the FF serie? is been dead since FFXI, and if you guys are so good at "FIXING" games how is that i havent seen a single game made by your site? and wtf is that number 1 and number 2? kill shepard and make it an mmo? lol
Stick with suggestions, fixing is a huge word for a site the only thing you can fix is the title of the article.
