My bad.
I meant to say insights that are not filtered by Bioware / EA marketing department.
The problem is I find that player and some critic reviews are worse then a Marketing department especially since people are already saying how bad the game is going to be already. In fact BioWare/EA has given me the perfect tool on the PC to get the best insights with any game with the Great Game Guarantee.
I doubt that very much. ME3's combat was pretty much successful. There were never any overwhelming complaints about it. I would bet that people clamoring for ME1's clumsy stat-based shenanigans to return are well in the minority.
Yeah. People do know that the Project Director on this game worked at Epic on Gears of War, right?
I really can't say I'll miss Shepard that much, I'll more-so miss everybody from the "original team"..... except maybe Jacob.... he just kind of existed.
Is there evidence that most players were that ignorant? I'm always willing to believe in ignorance, but I like to see evidence when I can.
Calling it now. This is all misdirection. The player character will be a clone of Commander Shepard.

LIQUID!
I'm not going to make a most people claim but I I can say I stopped looking at armor as I'd go thtough multiple missions and hours upon hours of game time and no new mods were at the armory.
Once you scored Colossus it didn't really matter anymore. I got that armor for Tali in the BDtS DLC and I never had to worry about anything she did ever again. Because I was a stickler for appearance I always stuck with the much weaker Onyx medium armor so I can keep the N7 logo.

Shepard had his day in the spotlight. Now fraking move on. I want to restart with a clean slate

To be honest I suspected that...but I think it's a bad idea.
Right, but if you really do know that there are no new mods, there's no reason to look at the armor. It's also sensible to stop looking at the armor pieces if you know that your balance is where you want it; the armor system is about balance rather than upgrading, so at sone point you should stop caring about what drops unless you're unlucky with how gear appropriate for your intended loadout drops. This is a problem with the way the game gives out armor, actually.
I actually liked that about the armour system in Mass Effect 2 and 3. It wasn't about getting more powerful armour, but customizing it to how you play the game. I remember in Mass Effect 1 once the magic Colossus armour dropped nothing else in the game mattered unless you wanted a specific look. It was same with the Spectre weapons too once you had access to those weapons all the other drops were just a way to earn credits to buy those.

It was a good design change, but it was also one that was less "role-play" in terms of its stats.
Which I am fine with, the stats and inventory in Mass Effect 1 are rough...to say the least.

I have never been a big fan of how BioWare implements stats, even in Dragon Age: Inquisition it felt awkward and cumbersome.
Which I would be fine with if I felt I could customize it to my way to play sometime before the last 15 minutes of the game.
It's not even a balance issue as the game is dreadfully easy at all difficulties. But if I'm playing a sniper I want to load up sniper gear like headshot bonuses or whatever. I can't use sniper rifles so I never play them. if an adept power damage/recharge gear etc. but I was well past 1/2 way through the game before I saw my first power damage or recharge mod.
The concept of a core n7 armor with slots for mods is sweet. The implementation sucked IMO.
No disagreement that it needs improvement for it requires meta-gaming or a New Game+ to get to customize fully.
They shouldn't have to work with the community in the first place.
Last I checked, we can't even decide on simple things or prioritize what makes a good game, let alone what defines it as a series. We should be grateful that such games are being made still, and that BioWare has survived its initial years when it would have likely gone under a decade ago with the first Mass Effect.
At the very least, maybe a bit of patience too.
The point isnt that they have to work with the fanbase, the point was that they aren't going out of there way to do us any favors, why should we be grateful to them for anything? Are you grateful to the store clerk who sold you a loaf of bread? No i would hope not, because he is providing a service to which you paid for, in most civilized countries the world over, if someone is unhappy with their service, the provider works with them to resolve the issue rather than ignoring a customer and potentially losing business.
I can't believe im even defending people's right to have an opinion... mind control is freaking real apparently.
also you either unvalue consumer power, or are overthinking what it means to have consumer input. You don't speak with your voice, you speak with your wallet.

I will never be grateful that games like ME3 are made. Never.
And Bioware was around for years before Mass Effect.
Bioware devs still in denial and using straw men I see.
We didn't like the ending because Shepard died, instead of because a lack of agency and a good ending.
We don't like Andromeda because it lacks Shepard, not because it lacks THE BLOODY MASS EFFECT SETTING.

Andromeda isn't even out. Don't say crap.
And no, not every fan wants Shepard back. As a matter of fact, those who do are only a portion of the fanbase. And an ANNOYING one.
I bet most people don't even care about Shepard. I bet most people would be RELIEVED never to see Shepard AGAIN.
Stop talking about we. There's no we when it comes to players. Every fanbase is heterogeneous.

What exactly is the Mass Effect setting? For I played all three games and aside from having the same names the areas were different each time and very well could have been in another galaxy. A good part of Mass Effect 2 took place in the Terminus Systems with the occasional mission in Citadel territory so it must have been a bad game too for it was in a different setting then the first game.

Consumer power has no value in this case. You don't vote with your wallet; I know you don't, because Electronic Arts still makes money and BioWare is still here in the end. The community at large doesn't care to vote with their wallet, and we all know it; the games keep turning enough profit to sustain itself, and they are now way too high profile to just throw away so easily. If you honestly did, then no one would have bought Inquisition or no one will buy Andromeda, or even hang around here as much as they do.
So you have no power. People need to accept that that really, you never had power. That being said, considering how BioWare tends to overcorrect issues and works their ass off in doing that all, it kind of is a case-en-point scenario regarding providers and their service. People really think BioWare ignores people? Ignores their fanbase?
People really have no clue in the end, then. You may not get everything you want, but i'll be damned if this company doesn't bend over backwards for people at times over some of the most minute things too, so you can enjoy a ****** game.
In that case, this not an opinion, you are simply wrong with that mentality. Or ungrateful. Take your pick.
