Mass Effect the IP isn’t the issue, the issue is EA sucks. So you’re basically asking why do they even persist as a company anymore.

There hasn’t been a good Mass Effect game since 2, so I wonder why they even persist in this.

Less about EA, more about Bioware. EA has proven they aren’t shy about murdering studios, so why keep Bioware around when their last good game was, what? Star Wars: Old Republic? 2011?

3 is my favorite, and I get why people like 2, but it was my least favorite.

i count Andromeda! Andromeda is my 2nd highest rated Mass Effect game.

Two was horrible, the end boss skeleton is the stupidest shit. I liked the first, endured the second to the end and never touched the third or Andromeda

2 has very interesting character development and interaction, but I agree that the final boss is a fucking joke, both as a fight and as something within the lore. Those collector praetors were much harder for me to deal with, the fuckers would easily kill off my team and fully restore barrier as soon as I started hitting its actual health

I gotta disagree, 3 was real good.
The ending was a choice for sure, but otherwise it was good.

I disagree with both, ME3 was slightly ok.
First of all, the original concept of the reapers’ objective was way better than the “AI bad” we got;
secondly, most of its story is just tying loose ends - the whole game is a collection of fanservice moments, many of which look good but feel inorganic(heh) if you think about the fact that one undead human soldier (plus a few dozen subordinates) solves all major galactic disputes.

You wanted to play a documentary or a game? Of course the player character solves important things
Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks ago
Not ALL major political conflicts in the galaxy, you didn’t solve one in the first game and only solved one in the second one (with the solution being “RIP, batarians”).

I just couldn’t get over the janky-ass animation. All the problems inherent in Andromeda were present in 3.

I mean sure, but no worse than ME 1 or 2.
