Moving On…
@EA_Mako @EA_David and any other EA/Bioware representative…
I don’t know about all of you but, I’m moving on. This game is so bugged now, several of my achievements are gone, preventing me from gaining things like Advanced Training and squad mate loyalties. My shields can be taken down with only a couple of bursts from Blue Suns mercenaries when, before, I could hold my own against Collectors.
Squamates don’t hold positions, don’t use their powers, an enemy can be standing right in front of me within shotgun range and I can’t initiate a biotic charge, all Shepard does is say she can’t lock. My weapons, even when upgraded require double the amount of shots to do the damage they once did with half that. I emptied my Mattock Rifle into a Vorcha on Omega and all he did was stumble around from the hits. After reloading the weapon, it took half a magazine more to drop him. He was a normal Vorcha enemy, no barrier.
upgrades don’t seem to work no matter what category upgrade is applied. Hack Upgrade didn’t change the countdown speed, weapons do nerfed damage, and armor mods have no effect. I’ve been playing this trilogy since their respective releases so I’m completely aware of the differences I’m seeing since the June update. I have the original trilogy for Xbox 360 that is still backward compatible. That’s what I’m going to play, and from what is being said, I’m probably not going to roll the dice with Mass Effect 4.
This botched remaster is the product of the new Bioware, those responsible for Anthem and Andromeda, not the legacy crew. Only a bunch of new developers, uninvested to what came before would consider “rebalancing” what was already working for more than a decade. Sure it looks nice but, that’s about all they did right with this, and that’s not enough. It’s like plastic surgery: you can make someone pretty but, you can’t make them nice. Farewell Mass Effect. Burned once, not again.

I am blaming BIOWARE, can you not see this...? I am NOT blaming EA. I can say that EA has been involved with some stupid and questionable practices within the last few years, this is no secret, and I’m not going to argue this when Star Wars Battlefront is still fresh in the communities minds, as well as in forums. However, what is happening with this game is plainly on Bioware’s shoulders. Twist what I say all you want.
Now, as you have pointed out before, this is a technical assistance forum. I’ve already had some snarky fanboy dig into this thread for ammunition to throw at me in defense of his hallowed and beloved Bioware. I’ve basically ignored this thread since Saturday and I had no reason to return to it until your post above.
If you want to go on and on about the evils of corporations and the thanklessness of the gaming consumer class, then go right ahead. However, that is not indicative of your previous statements regarding the nature of these ”Technical Help” forums, YOUR words and, quite frankly, the inspiration as to why I wanted to walk away from this thread.
In all truth, I am not as down about the game as I was when I posted this thread. My friends spoke to me and I realized that all that is plaguing my game will be fixed as Bioware cannot ignore what is broken here, not with so many projects coming. However, I cannot seem to close this thread as there is no button allowing to to do so. I post here via mobile device so, if there’s a way to delete this thread, I’d do it.
