YES. This is what makes Mass Effect Mass Effect.

Vantage3555d ago

Good, the people who complained about the Mako are the same people who think Mass Effect 2 is some shining gold standard (which is false).

strangeaeon3555d ago

Do you ever have anything positive to say?

Vantage3555d ago

Mass Effect 2 was more like a Third Person Shooter spin-off than a sequel to Mass Effect.

SoulWarrior3555d ago (Edited 3555d ago )

It's just differing opinions, there's a reason ME2 was more successful and critically acclaimed than the first game.

Reefskye3554d ago

Because it was released across all platforms at same time and had EA marketing money behind it. ME didn't have that luxury as EA didn't publish for them at the time.

ME didn't need changing that much all it needed was the better combat mechanics from ME2, Removing the RPG was a step backwards. I loved all 3 games though for the story more than anything.

PiNkFaIrYbOi3555d ago

Fan favorite? It was dreadful to control and stuff, if they work out the kinks of driving it, it would be cool and stuff.

ValKilmer3555d ago

Come now, the Mako is to Mass Effect what the Warthog is to Halo.

LAWSON723555d ago (Edited 3555d ago )

Yep fan favorite of those who enjoyed ME1 more than the sequels like me

Summons753555d ago

dreadful to control? I had no problem driving it ever and I don't think I've seen people complain about it's controls just how every land based mission used it 90% of the time. It was one of the best things in the series and the vehicles they had in ME2 to replace it after fans complaining were awful.

PiNkFaIrYbOi3555d ago

They were both bad, just the vehicle in ME2 was worse.

Number-Nine3555d ago

Hm. Im intrigued. Planet exploration how it was in ME1 perhaps?

SoulWarrior3555d ago

If they make it not super crap to control, and not explore endless wastelands like on ME1, then I'm all for it!

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.

phoenixwing369d ago

They should redo the main trilogy

just_looken369d ago (Edited 369d 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_looken369d ago

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

GhostScholar368d ago (Edited 368d 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?

porkChop369d ago

Dragon Age is not more popular than Mass Effect.

shinoff2183368d 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_drake368d 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
