Mass Effect

My name is Commander Shepard and this is my favorite Mass Effect community on the citadel.

Rules & Regs:

  1. Don't be a dick, unless it's a really spicy renegade interrupt. But even then, seriously, don't be a dick.
  2. Memes are great - seriously, I need more Mass Effect sh!tposting in my life.
  3. This is a welcoming community for all stripes, let's just remember there's people on the other side of the screen and act accordingly.
  4. If you're here, you gotta post. Thems the breaks, kid.

There wasn’t a Lemmy community yet for the impending RedditExodus, so I figured “why not be the change you want to see in the world,” and here we are.

To kick things off: Tell me your favorite working theory for the upcoming game.

Honestly I'd prefer a more narrow story rather than a galaxy spanning doomsday threat, just put me in that universe again and let me explore.

That being said I try and avoid speculation and I'm not gonna say it's bad if it doesn't match what I would like.

Do we know if it's supposed to be more open world like Andromeda or back to a linear style?

[–] ChampagneEquinox 2 points 2 years ago

I wish we knew!! I'm going to guess it's probably somewhere in the middle, though.

Blasto spinoff.

Hello there. I don't have any real theories and I am usually lurker on reddit but i guess I'll make comment here to encourage more people to join us :)

Yay!

And for anyone looking at going back to Reddit in two days: turn back, the darkness must not be breached.

Well, I try not to overthink/overhype nowadays, I'll just wait patiently ;)

[–] ChampagneEquinox 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I'm much the same way; I didn't know what else to put as a conversation starter!

So I'll give this one: To save on dev resources, the new Mass Effect will operate like a Five Nights at Freddy's game, and our protagonist week be a pizza delivery person.

No idea but I'm gonna wait till it is going for cheap and get it in a steam sale

Is there any word as to the timeline for the release?

[–] ChampagneEquinox 1 points 2 years ago

At this rate, it'll probably come out as a 20th anniversary hype for Mass Effect's original release.

Um... I should have said hello erlier before even posting. Sorry for that and hello there.

About the new game - call me a pessimist. I'm in love with the trilogy since it was only ME1 back in my late youth. After BioWare kind of died, we had Andromeda. Which was a fun game, of course, but never even remotely cought my interest compared to the trilogy.

I hope a new game will do a better job of inspiring me.

I guess I'll see it when I play it.

[–] ChampagneEquinox 2 points 2 years ago

No need to apologize, you're here now and we definitely need more people to post.

[–] HappycamperNZ 2 points 1 year ago

Happy you made this.

I think my current working theory for the upcoming game is "Holy fuckbalks why did I not know this was a thing?!?!"

[–] Zstom6IP 1 points 2 years ago

our presense will never be complete without a community devoted to porn... because mass effect fans are just kinda like that.

in fact i find myself slightly ashamed that i have been in the mass effect fandom, a not insignificant part of that shame being due to the horny stuff that just seems inescapable.
