No game company has ever done anything as cool or as ambitious as Mass Effect. A whole trilogy with branching choices and a custom character that carry over from one game to the next? Still nothing else like it. So sad that this is where we are now.
•
u/OnBenchNow 2h ago
Seriously, for a time it seemed like carry-over choices were the future of RPGs, the next big narrative innovation after multiple endings. Why wouldnt games going forward remember my choices from previous games? The genie was out, this was the new standard.
But as we saw, even Bioware themselves couldnt maintain that promise. They had to eject one of their series into another galaxy, and the other one just straight up plugged its ears and went "what other games lalalalala".
And now the industry has pretty much abandoned the concept. Really such a shame.

This has hit me harder than I expected. The Mass Effect trilogy was something my late best friend and I were both obsessed with and we spent countless hours discussing it in school and playing the ME3 MP together.
He passed away just before Andromeda came out and I always think about him whenever I'm doing a playthrough of the trilogy. This feels like another connection with him put to rest.
I try not to be too sappy but I'll always be thankful for these games. Really good memories.

Same. ME will always have a special place in my heart, even though I don't have a tragic backstory with it like you. I bought the collector's edition of ME3 when it came out when I was in high school. I also bought an N7 hoodie that I finally had to retire after wearing it out a couple of years ago.
It might have been stupid, but I was really hoping for ME5 with Liara and maybe some of the others back in there, capturing some of that old glory again, bringing Bioware into a new golden age. My sadness is really compounded by the fact that this IP will now probably just stay in the EA vault and forgotten. In addition to being really sad about what Andromeda could have been, if it recieved the follow up it deserved :(
Feel for you. Raising a glass to Bioware and your friend!

I still don’t think we’ve seen the last Mass Effect game. The TV series is still in production, and it’s possible that it generates demand for another game connecting the trilogy, Andromeda, and the TV show. While I don’t think it’s likely right now, I also don’t think it’s entirely out of the realm of possibility that EA sells the IPO, either. The vulture capitalists who bought EA are going to strip down anything they can and sell it. Given the right buyer, it’s possible the rights get sold to another studio. It’s a fresh wound right now, but we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Never say never.

•
u/Ntippit 2h ago
Both are empirically true. BioWare fumbled so often for 15 years. They couldnt finish a game without EA forcing them to (after giving them tons of leash) had to always come in and say “what the fuck have you been doing?”. EA had to tell them to keep flying in Anthem. Literally the only good thing in that game. They restarted Failguard 3 times and it took 10 years to finally finish in the garbage state that it ended up as. EA are also monstrous pieces of corporate trash only made worse by adding Saudi private equity and Jared fucking Kushner. It’s a tragedy but pretending BioWare didn’t dig its own grave is revisionist. EA just owns the graveyard and runs it like shit.
•
u/Such_Supermarket_607 1h ago
I completley agree Bioware released some dross, probably their last 'ok' game was inquisition. But dont forget much of the talent behind their bangers left due to not being able to work within EA's structure, that's not to say they were right but it certainly isn't a unique situation, other companies I mentioned also suffered similar brain drain after EA Borged them. Both parties are to blame but being absorbed by EA is almost always the start of a studio's decline into mediocrity and ultimately its slow death unless they come up with a title that can suck wallets dry via in game purchases or be an annual release cash cow.

I know this is about mass effect.. but dragon age 2 was the first rpg I ever fell in love with. My friend loaned me the disc to play on my ps3 bc he loved it and wanted someone to talk to about it. Dragon age 2 quite literally changed my life. It helped me discover myself (lgbt) and changed the way I viewed video games forever. I still so desperately chase the feeling of the pure joy I felt playing through that game for the very first time. I played it everyday for an entire year and it is one of my favorite gaming memories to date. The only time I've even came close to experiencing that joy is from Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 but specifically during the citadel dlc. Bioware is by far my favorite gaming company. They've created my all time favorite games and genuinely made me experience only what I can describe as true happiness. It breaks my heart to hear the news that they're shutting down and the fact that we will never see another Dragon Age or Mass Effect.. I can only hope that some other company will see what i saw from these games and choose to purchase the IPs for these masterpieces.

u/nadya_artj 1h ago edited 1h ago
I was just a kid who occasionally played games without defined preferences and interest in gaming in general. But then in 2012 I played ME2 and it changed everything for me. This game (and later the whole ME trilogy) showed me that videogames can be more than just fun time spending. In addition it shaped my gaming preferences, tastes which last till today and it was a proper start for me to become a gamer, to become a part in gaming community. So it is devastating to see that studio existence, which brought us this masterpiece and several no less amazing games, has come to an end.
In addition I fell in love not just story, music, atmosphere and characters, but the whole universe itself. I was/am okay that Shepard's story ended. But I was still kinda exited and hopeful for the new ME in order to experience something new and expand my lore knowledge...

I first played the original ME trilogy during a very tough time in my life. Sitting there on the ME1 title screen with Vigil's theme in the background was very soothing. Just knowing there was a world I could escape to,to forget my circumstances even if it was for short bursts was therapeutic.

I was a console kid and never had a PC, so the only RPGs I saw were JRPGs. I'm not against them, but JRPGs are not my genre and there weren't any Western ones that crossed my path. Until Mass Effect.
It blew my world wide open. I got the first one when 2 had just been released. I was on 360, and when I completed it at 1AM, I immediately drove to Walmart and bought 2 to keep the party rolling. I was like 28 and never did shit like that since I was a teenager.
It's a special series and we were lucky to have it when we did. I didn't have high hopes for the new one, not because of the people making it, but the expectations of what came before. That era is gone and won't be coming back, in the AAA environment at least.

I'm a very late newcomer when it comes to ME. I got it 2 years ago because ME:LE was on sale and I heard good things about it, and had been watching a YouTuber who played part of it. To avoid spoiling myself I got it and played through the game with a Renegade Infiltrator Shepard that romanced Garrus (or Garr Bear as I head canon for her). Genuinely became one of my favorite games and ME3 specifically was one of the few games that actually made me cry, let alone multiple points (Mordins, Andersons, and Shepards deaths)
Glad I got to experience the game before the studio was shut down. Here's hoping we get tf out of this cursed decade and things turn around somehow

I had played the games on the 360 when I was around 14 years old. Truly a special experience. At 14 the ending of ME1 made me applaud my tv and even tear up a bit. It made me realize what games could be!
Years later, when legendary edition came out, my best friend and I were living together at the time. He hadn’t played through them at all, so we got the legendary edition and did a back to back to back marathon of the games. We did every quest, side mission, trophy, and made sure we had the fullest experience possible. Just two university students, shooting the shit (and Geth) and playing some dope-ass games. While my first play though by myself was fantastic, the second play through was truly special. One of my favourite series of games. Wish they got one more before the end.

I haven't told this in a while, but somewhere around 2018 i was in Calgary for work, and we sat down at this hotel lobby, and i started crying, actually tearing up out of nowhere. My colleague asked me what's up and i told him i didn't know, just feeling emotional out of nowhere.
After a few moments i noticed that the "background" or ambient music in the lobby area was "An End, Once and for All", i did ask how or why, i just sat there and listened to it until it ended, wiped my tears, and smiled.
When i came back home i replayed all games and DLCs, that was the last time i played them, but i played them all more than once - i spent so many hours with Commander Sheppard.
I know people on this thread will understand what I'm feeling right now, as i play "An End, Once and for All" in the background.

I remember storming the citadel through the Relay with Garrus and Tali. The roling if the credits. The song was by Faunts, M4, Part II. I sat and listened as the credits rolled. I had goosebumps.
