It's no secret that Mass Effect 3 left a bad taste in the mouth's of fans worldwide. It's also no secret that the ME universe is vast and full of promise so we're not ready to give up on it just yet. Here's five keys we believe to be of the utmost importance to ME's continuing success.

The best way they can fix the "too much action" problem is to get rid of Thermal clips. Less focus on shooting, more focus on RPG goodness

Or at least make one half as good as ME1 citadel. Like seriously it is like Bioware abandoned everything I loved in the first game.

CorndogBurglar3568d ago (Edited 3568d ago )

There's nothing wrong with "too much action", as long as all the other elements are there in between the action.

Also, why shouldn't it be a galaxy-wide threat? So what if something comes along that threatens the galaxy? It doesn't make the Reapers any less powerful than they were. Thats idiotic. The universe is a huge place. Are we to believe that the Reapers were the end all, be all of threats in the entire universe? The Mass Effect trilogy took place in ONE galaxy. The universe is a HUGE place. It would be dumb to think that there is nothing else out there that could be a galactic level threat.

If its not a galaxy-wide threat, then what would it be? A political threat? The galactic mob? Space Pirates? Come on now, how would that seem after playing something as epic in scope as the previous trilogy?

I want to agree with you... but your name is Colts_15.

GODDAMNIT I CAN'T TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY!! Hahaha!

(you do mean the Indianapolis Colts, right?) :)

Either way, its my gamertag on PS4 too, look me up if you like :)

Digital_Anomaly3568d ago

Oh hell no! The Colts is my kid's hockey team and his jersey is 15.

Lol.... Indianapolis Colts!

Menkyo3568d ago (Edited 3568d ago )

Here the biggest one .....dont lie about our choices meaning something then at the last minute "we dont want people penalize for their action from perivous games" wasnt that the damn point? Yes it was but you got cold feet.

Letthewookiewin3568d ago

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.

phoenixwing374d ago

They should redo the main trilogy

just_looken374d ago (Edited 374d ago )

They should redo the dragon age trilogy for sure on pc DA1 the ui is messed up sense it was for 4080p/720i days back in 2005. Getting to run is also very hard

The only way to play dragon age one is via xbox one backwards compatable state.

The ps3 version of dragon age one is pre throphy/ in game xmb so it has the freezing/crashing issues or just will not run.

just_looken374d ago

Well i am not American so please enlighten me on usa education before your country invades mine and forces us into your society

GhostScholar374d ago (Edited 374d ago )

@ just_looken

Did I mention education? Never said America did have negative points. I know for all you “enlightened” people you think everything is either all good or all bad, but in reality that’s not how life works. We have a government that traded a known terrorist for a basketball player who moonlights as a drug dealer. We aren’t perfect by a long shot. If you want to go political though how about your leader leaving his own country when the truck driver strike happened?

porkChop374d ago

Dragon Age is not more popular than Mass Effect.

shinoff2183374d ago

Yea I read that and was like I've heard way more people talk mass effect compared to dragon age. Personally I'm more into mass effect. It's got the whole dope ass sci fi thing going on while dragon age has the same old medieval thing

gold_drake374d ago

andromeda is a spin off tjo and not considerd a numvered title. as it has to 99% nothing to do with the trilogy.

i think they need to make the destroy perfect ending canon.
we need more of shepard. haha.

Mass Effect 4 Can Explore Post-Apocalyptic Themes

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.

Tons of opportunities since most anyone who made it special is long gone
