No official BioWare support = no support from me as well, no exceptions or compromises. Simple really.

Did you really just list something from Gawker media as a source when the first line in the article says CLAIMING? A link from a "game journalist" site so corrupt and full of @$%# that Ubisoft and Bethesda have BLACKLISTED them, and someone from Bioware recently spoke out against them for unethical behavior (link included)?
Also there is no insult. If you believe that a mod being used by thousands of people, from a trusted source is a "virus"? You are ignorant or spreading FUD (which is exactly what that Kotaku article did). That is just an empirical fact.

I dont care what issues they have due to both being on duel discs. Make it happen BW and MS. You cant just make the first one have BC and the other 2 not.

Would you prefer an alternate source?

1, IGN has advertising contracts with consoles and their exclusives. PC does not have unified advertising. It is an open platform. Asking IGN to be fair and balanced about anything PC related? Is laughable. Their video comparisons between platforms themselves are a joke, since they never touch Nvidia Control Panel, AMD Catalyst or AMD VSR/Nvidia DSR or downsampling (scaling) options in the games themselves like Battlefront has. Darn near everything you see on a site like IGN is slanted or a lie (even if it is a lie of omission). IGN recently got caught talking out of their @!#$, about the ability to record footage on PC, saying only Xbox could do it. This is far from the first occurrence where PC Gamers have laughed at the site and called anyone who believed half of what you see there IGNorant. Go to a site like Linus Tech Tips (where many PC Gamers hang out) and ask what they think of IGN, or defend that website as far as "journalism". People will literally laugh you off the site.
2. I have installed thousands of mods for many games. I have never heard of "https://www.gta5-mods.com/"nor would I even go to that site. We have Nexus Mods. Even if I was dumb enough to go to some random site for mods? I could easily right click any file and scan it for a virus, before doing anything with it. Problem solved. You act as if this is a hard process. A right freakin click...
3. Bioware hosts mods for Mass Effect and other games you imbecile.
http://social.biowar...bw_projects.php
4. Every post you make? You look dumber. What's next? Are you going to talk about breaches of sites as far as passwords, when every console service has been breached, and everything can be breached? As I said before, you are repeating FUD, scare articles from console oriented, PAID ADVERTISING sites, that masquerade as journalism, who never even advise that any PC user should scan ANY file before using it. The same can be said of passwords. You do not use a universal password and a universal user name (on consoles either). That has nothing to do with mods. That has to do with common sense, as we are seeing security breaches EVERYWHERE in the world today.
PC Gamers know who to blame to. Microsoft and Bioware execs whom started on PC, would be nothing without PC and promptly gave us the middle finger with things like controller support. Who needs enemies when you have friends like Microsoft. Glad to see Sony kicking their head in.
I think it also has be to said that a very vocal group of PC Gamers are also have to share the blame for the MET on PC not having any gamepad support. A LOT of them here at BSN, and just about at every other major gaming site with message boards, are always screaming that "KB & M are better than a gamepad! WE NOT WANT!" So I think that all BioWare/EA/Microsoft have to be blamed for in this case is actually listening to vocal group of PC gamers' requests and assuming that all PC Gamers felt that way regardless of the size of that very vocal group.
I would purchase an Xbox One solely for this.

I have never seen a PC gamer not want controller support...That is an absolute farce. We may argue that keyboard/mouse is superior or more accurate for shooters where you aim (it is and if you want to argue that, I suggest logging on BF4 or Battlefront with a controller on PC), but that has nothing to do with not wanting support for something on our systems, and the draw of ME is the campaign not multiplayer, and many of us use controllers in single player games. You are acting as if it had to be one or another which is ridiculous.
Many asked for controller support on the Bioware forums. If anyone asked for something not to get support? Please link the thread. Complaining that mouse keyboard controls are terrible in a game does not = someone does not want to see something supported.
Also " just about at every other major gaming site".
1. PC Gamers do not go to gaming sites much. We have zero respect for "games journalism" that has direct advertising deals with publishers and the consoles. We watch youtubers (mainly for port reports), check metacritic USER reviews and steam USER reviews.
2. The ones you see there are probably trolling. We literally do not even go to PC Gamer. The site could shut down tomorrow and none of us would care. We talk more about games on tech sites like Linus Tech Tips than PC Gamer. The only "PC Gaming" related site I ever visit is Dark Side of Gaming and it does not have reviews.
Now I do think PCMR is full of idiots. As to why they are full of idiots? Console gamers are bigger idiots. Blame them and corrupt game journalism that does not want to see PC Gaming grow, as it would hit their profits hard as console oriented sites (see IGN as a prime example of this). In this very thread someone actually associated modding with computer security/viruses. Spoiler. People that mod? Do not get viruses. Why? They actually know what they are doing. Know who does get viruses, malware (every week/month). My idiot relatives who do not PC Game and click on popups, emails from people they do not know and other stupid @$%#.
Console gamers and IGNorance created the PCMR. People repeating idiocy from paid advertising with bias and finances riding on their articles and "opinions".

First: Do yourself a do a big favor: stop speaking for every single PC Gamer out there. I'm pretty sure you are not an elected rep for every single PC Gamer out there and stop insulting others. Now I'm going to try very hard to keep my temper in check and be respectful to you, but understand this: I hate people who don't know me thinking they can just assume what I like and I don't like off a few post on a message board. So stop making assumptions about me because as the man said: "you only make an ass out of you and umption." Now just because you and others might run to youtube for reviews and news there are a lot of PC gamers out there and there a lot of them that go to any number of websites for info. You don't that is great. There are PC Gamers getting their info at sites like IGN, Gamespot, Polygon, The Escapist, and various youtubers.
Second: I can count the number of times I've been to IGN and Gamespot on one hand and still fingers have left over. They've never been my cup of tea and I find most PC Gamers on youtube extremely annoying and a few come off as downright hateful to all players and video games in general. It gets to the point I wonder why they even do this and then I quickly realize: for the money! And if you don't think any youtubers aren't sell outs, then what planet are you living on? If any one of them needed the money bad enough they will sell out in a second and I'm willing to bet more than a few already have and you might watch them. I also don't trust crowd funding because IMHO the worst reviewers are the ones that tell me what they think I want to hear and not what I need to hear.
Third: I didn't say the group was large but they are vocal and most time they say the same crap that you did "KB & M are better than a gamepad" which can be easily misunderstood and misinterpreted as "it is inferior and we don't want it" so again my point stands that some of the blame is on the players, not all but some, of the blame for not making it clear. The rest is on BioWare/EA and Microsoft.
Fourth: Gaming is in a sorry mess but I don't blame gaming websites, youtubers, the PCMR, console players, or even developers/publishers for the sorry state of crap gaming is in, in any area so-called game journalism, the industry, and the overall community in general. I blame everybody up to and including myself and you; because we all read/watch/listen to the same crap and go to sites like here and post the same nonsense over and over and over and in the end we still buy the damn games, consoles, PCs and etc. or in other words: TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PART IN THE MESS! I own up to my mistakes and try to learn from them and try to fix them. Now why don't you own up and admit to YOUR part and stop trying to play that you're just an innocent bystander because you take part in the gaming community and if your area is wrecked stop crying and try to fix it! Yes, blame the devs, the publishers, the gaming sites, youtubers, console players, and the PCMR, for their parts in the mess but also understand that you are part of the latter 2 at least and that means you, me, and everybody here at BSN and all other gaming sites we all have a share part of the blame for the mess we all helped to create.
Fifth: Don't tell me that there are no mods with viruses and malware in them. That is naive at best and dangerously stupid at worst and yeah I know 99% of modders don't do that and most viruses that are in the rare 1% that do and any good security software suite will get rid of it but some one not wanting to download a mod for fear of being hacked or getting doxxed, a virus is no reason to attack him/her. They might have had a bad experience or they don't trust people. Now since I don't have much faith in humanity in general, I don't blame them for being concerned about their privacy and security.
Sixth: You asked for proof of where they got that information and they provided it, now just because the site has been blacklisted by some publishers the real question: you should ask "Is why the site was blacklisted?" In some cases, but not all mind you, some of those the sites are blacklisted because they released info the publisher might wanted to use for MARKETING and PR only. In other words those sites were actually doing something like actual journalism. You can watch an episode of The Jimquisition called "Blacklisted" on Jim Sterling's youtube channel, it's a fairly recent episode for more details if you want now whether you believe it or not that is your business.
And lastly: if you think game journalism is bad? Maybe you should try watching mainstream US political journalism sometime it's even worse! I mean seriously go watch anything on FNC, CNN, and MSNBC any of those jackasses make the hosts on IGN, Gamespot, and the Escapist look more trustworthy and competent. So you will pardon me if I think in the end trying to getting rid of that of mess is far more important than anything in video game journalism.

Ugh... this (potentially) sucks.
http://attackofthefa...g-to-ea-access/
Am I the only one here reading that we may need to subscribe to EA Access in order to be able to play X360 EA games on the X1?
Yes, because you are misinterpreting the statement. It means that you will get access to backwards compatible EA games through the service the same way you get xbox one games through the service. You can use the service to get them or just buy them like a normal game... JUST like all games on EA access.
People should do research before spouting non-sense
This topic is very timely for me.
I was actually debating the merits of purchasing a new 360 console solely to keep my Mass Effect trilogy playable through the next decade. I assume they will eventually get the full trilogy working on XBox One, but I wasn't sure how the DLC would work. So much of the trilogy's critical content was DLC, in my opinion, that I'd not play without it. Hearing that the DLC functions properly is huge. I'd much rather move forward with an XB1 than invest in another 360. (Still would've preferred a remastered release on my PS4. :/ )
Then, I read about this EA Access BS. I've invested hundreds of dollars into Mass Effect since 2007, between Collector's Editions and DLC. It's been worth every penny, considering the hours I've spent playing and the joy it's brought me. Now, though, EA wants to charge me an additional $29.99 per year to play the series I've owned for years? No F-ing Way! That's complete BS!
I hope this crap falls flat on its face in the concept phase. Their greed truly knows no bounds.
Do people really not understand how EA access works?
You can get the games without the service, it is a way to get the games under a subscription if you dont own them, just like all EA access vault titles. Stop assuming things
The Trilogy versions are all she wrote. And 0utside of Backwards Compatibility on the Xbox 360 trilogy version EA and Microsoft are done doing any remakes/enhancements on this series. The following article says it all. And IMO Bioware got it just right. So here is closure for some on this thread IMO.
http://blog.bioware....effect-trilogy/
So for the uninitiated here are your ONLY options going forward on ME Trilogy which all ME platform partners bought into:
That IMO is the full boat in a nutshell. I actually marvel at just how versatile Bioware designed and enhanced the original trilogy. Actually including a lot of the "Mod" capabilities from the PC world in their remade trilogies for other platforms. The PC'ers have actually already modded ME trilogy to work with Oculus Rift. Which I'm really looking forward to exploring in 2016. If I don't really like playing the game that way. I can just switch back to multi-monitor. And enjoy it in upscaled 4k. Which should be spectacular. And make all installments actually look like a mew next generation game.

Good news! I was so out of it following a surgery that I'm amazed I was able to post so eloquent a rant. (I'm also discovering quite a few texts I sent the actual day of the surgery.)
While your frustration seems somewhat out of proportion with the situation, I do appreciate you reading the link that I clearly did not read for myself, and then bringing this to my attention. I'll have to check this out later. It's feeling like nap time.
So, hopefully all we need to do is wait for the technical hurdles and backlog of other popular games to be cleared. When these become available, assuming I'm financially able to do so, I'll merrily purchase an Xbox One.
No hard feelings, I just get annoyed sometimes with what people throw around on the internet.
Hope your surgery went well!

So let's not act like mods are all clean and flawless.
No official BioWare support = no support from me as well, no exceptions or compromises. Simple really.
While the poster you were talking about this with is insane, I'll note that he's correct in that mods aren't much of a risk at all, although as always, you should take care to know where you're getting them. The most common place for it is Nexus Mods, which has been around for a decade plus, and virus scans all files uploaded to their database. I've been using it since 2006, downloaded thousands of files (that's not an exaggeration), and I've never once had an issue. Ditto for millions of gamers. If you game on a PC, modding can be really transformative - you're leaving a ton of the platform's potential unrealized.
The controller mod for ME is clean, but if you're worried, then it is as simple as running a quick scan yourself.

If I was "insane" you could argue me with logic and facts. Instead you just throw out laughable insults and have to admit I am right.
The poster attempting to associate viruses with modding was "insane", or was simply repeating slanted, biased, misinformation hit piece articles against the PC platform, because those sites do not get much if any revenue from PC Gamers. Nvidia and Blizzard are about the only PC Gaming oriented products and devs that bother with advertising on IGN that are related to PC Gaming, and most of Blizzard's games can be played on garbage laptops, on some tablets or a toaster, which is why they bother in the first place (they make games that "console gamers" can play on a non "Gaming PC"). Also, Activision/Blizzard are the same company now and Activision advertises A LOT on IGN. Using something as simple as Flash has more vulnerabilities than modding and nothing is secure as far as accounts, even consoles whose services can be breached.
Post the traffic from PC Gamer in comparison to console oriented sites. PC Gamers do not put much stock in games journalism. As I said, go to any PC Gaming community like Linus Tech Tips or PCMR, Tom's Hardware, Tek Syndicate and ask about IGN or Kotaku, or say they are a good media outlet. Link the thread so we can all LAUGH at you,as they tear those sites to shreds over misinformation and bias against the PC platform. I will be waiting. NM. You are not going to post jack on those sites, because you know what the outcome will be.
What I did in this thread. Explained technical hurdles of why ME 2/3 may not happen, have been delayed (provided sources) as well as financial reasons of why doing it, does not really benefit the developer. Helped people to get controller support with a mod that Bioware intentionally left off a product and never patched in and never will. Provided video proof of the mod, provided a thread from Neogaf which is vetted against advertising/scamming (even if I do not respect the site much or the moderation on that forum).
What I was met with. Misinformation about mods spread by numerous console outlets, lunacy about PC Gamers giving a single @$%# about IGN, Kotaku, when PCMR guys usually only go there to troll. Misinformation and LIES stating that PC Gamers asked for no console conrtoller support on a title, when many of us have and use Mini ITX PC's in place of a console on a TV, with WIRELESS console controllers. You are defending those people. Why? Because you are the same guy that reported and shut down a thread on transgender issues, when you were met with logic and facts and the thread didn't go the way you wanted.
Now go back to discussing romances and promoting SJW agendas. Donny, you're out of your element in this thread.
Hey now, I never reported nothin.'
Besides, I think your posts are super fun.
The funny thing? If you go back and read my very first post? I tried to downplay the power of PC's over console and said I don't care what you play. I just wanted to help explain WHY it is not on XB1 yet and may not ever be. It is not because EA hates gamers or something. There are actual technical hurdles, and more than there was with ME 1, which was already a monumental achievement of tech/software and ingenuity which in the end? Makes no money for EA.
I also, said I did not like the PCMR narrative (even though it is probably 3/4 of PC Gamers at this point and VERY influential people in PC Gaming like Linus Sebastian played a big role in that). That said? The misinformation and silliness from the console gamers (which is exhibited in this thread) is why the PCMR took off in the first place. I hate having to correct misinformation. I am not going to just let people run their mouth and not correct them though. If it makes the console oriented sites like IGN look bad, unethical and like a joke? Welp, they are, so they deserve it. Chobot says hi!
As far as modded Mass Effect 2/3 ? It looks and plays better than any next gen games, other than maybe Battlefront (and I do not think that is a great game, I just think it looks spectacular and that Johan from Dice is a wizard as far as game engines). I feel sorry for people that cannot see or experience TACTFUL and true to the source mods on ME. MEUITM looks VERY good for it's age as well. NO I am not calling them "peasants" or poor or any of that PCMR garbage. I am saying they probably do not know things like Gedosato, and 4k downsampling to TV and 4k texmods exist. Sites like IGN are the reason why.
For those curious about it? There are threads like this and no one has got a darn virus using them.
http://forum.bioware...ination-3d-fix/
Oh and for the record? I am not a fan of the "cinematic effects mod" which changes the tone and feel of the game, nor am I a fan of any of the fan made armor etc. About the only thing I want to be different than what we got in the real games, is higher quality textures, the ending (MEHEM) and Citadel being post game. Also no one is forcing you to use the MEHEM mod/Citadel mod. I saw that garbage once though and that was enough for me. MEHEM is not all that great either, but at least there are not gaping logic problems everywhere. Personally I would have loved to see Shep die...for a reason and go out in a blaze of glory.
Something like this. Of course the conversation would have to be improved. Tell Starkid to look at the Geth/Quarians, show him/pesuade he is wrong, and his logic flawed and that you will ascend on your own terms (you have the Lazarus project and already rose from the dead). The end could have been Miranda standing over you again. Same narrative accomplished. You gained "immortality". Even if flawed, and it would be no more flawed than garbage synthesis.

In addition this is not straight up emulation, where any game on a single disc just "works". A x86 PC (and that is what a XB1 and PS4 are) does not exist powerful enough to emulate last gen yet, even the highest end 10,000 dollar PC Gaming rigs. Last gen consoles was not x86 CPU's. They were Power PC based. It is not "native" and because it is not native it is a complete pain to do. XB1 "emulation" is more a port than emulation.
So each "port" is a ton of work, and games that were more than 1 disc are not possible yet.
On the positive side. Next, next gen which is recently speculated to debut in 2019 will be x86 and the same hardware vendor (AMD GCN) and both consoles should have TRUE backwards compatibility from now on, on just about every tittle, or at least they technically can. So ME:Andromeda CAN just work. That is all up to the console company though and the developers whether to allow it. I am sure that will be announced as a feature well in advance if they go that route.
