Re: Are the rumors actually true about Miranda?

@GrimReaperTaken

They should definitely turn off twitter the fans are here on this forum this is the criticism they should listen to.

Ignoring the criticism is a huge no but it depends on what criticism they listen to i read that feminists wants to ban valentines day and other BS like high heels being sexist and other things like that there will always be people complaining about things that 1: dont make sense and 2: dont really matter. and from all i gather there is a ton of more people who want the original cutscenes over the people who don't want them. so fans have spoken its up to them if they listen.

i mean if you really look anyone can find an issue with anything Christmas is sexist since santa is a male working while miss santa is home cooking and cleaning etc does it matter? no its a myth a legend this is a game a virtual thing and Miranda is just eye candy in the game, Jacob been said to be miranda's Male counter part and he is shirtless in one scene will that be censured? i bet not.

"do you reckon it would work if bioware just changed whatever they thought was best in ME"

They shouldn't change a thing except updating the game and fixing bugs as stated before there are a TON of issues with the games specially ME1 being very outdated in terms of well almost everything

the AI is basically crap yes they would need to work hard on updating the AI to modern standards but thats what a remaster should do get the gameplay and textures updated the games were almost perfect in terms of story etc higher difficulty didnt mean harder just that t he Enemy toke more hits imagine if they would actually use tactics oooof  amazing

and that they didnt even put any work into pinnacle station is just lazy if they had worked on the important things those 6 months or what ever it would take to make Pinnacle station work wouldnt been a huge deal

they said that ME1 is improved to be closer to ME2 but issue is ME2 is already also dated as hell in terms of textures and gameplay hell even ME3 is dated in almost all aspects specially animations but they said they basically didnt touch animations so i wonder what the hell they actually worked on.

Unfortunately EA wil alwaysl listen to Twitter feminism activist instead of us, real fans and players. They're too scared of backlash from Twitter.

Bioware said “I do think a lot of things have evolved since [the original games],” meaning rise of feminism, MeToo and scandals in Hollywood

EA, do you will still continue ignoring real fans and YouTube?

Unless EA will stop acting "sexy female characters are bad and sexist", i will never buy anything from your company.

Sadly you value their opinion more than fan's:

Anita Sarkeesian 

Zoey Quinn

@Princess_Catra congrats this is so far the hottest post on the ME LE forum, lets hope this gets some attention from EA/Bioware.

Edit: Again: Can someone explain? The original title was "Are the rumors actually true about Miranda?" and then the new title i see in my email notifications is "EA censored Mass Effect and ignores real players..." Did it get changed and just hasnt updated everywhere yet? 

Also i know the first four but who the heck are anita and zoey? are they games journalists or celebrities? 

Anita Sarkeesian is a feminist activist. She is know for series of videos "Tropes vs Women" where she criticizes designs of female characters like Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: Underworld for being "sexy"
In 2019 she visited Bioware to teach them how to make "right" female characters...
She also doesn't play videogames at all.

Her video has 50,000 dislikes, and still, EA values her more than us

It is likely that a thread or post was merged into this thread and the forum is acting wonky.  If you look at the top of this thread after clicking on last post to get here, then likely it will say EA censored, but if you go to the first page and look, it says Are the Rumors actually......

So I think the forum is just being wonky about this.

@Sky2k5Yes she did. ☹️ https://twitter.com/anitasarkeesian/status/956644302301552641

And seems like Bioware aren't happy with her visit: https://youtu.be/6NHGLQkxBcg

Lol comments:

"Professional liar and political hack."

"Why does anyone allow this chick anywhere???"

"It's shocking that woman is still relevant"

"Last I checked everyone hates Anita sarkeesian"
"Anita "I never played video games until it profited me" Sarkeesian."

"I will never support anything that brings on Sarkesian on principle."

Twatter made it to easy for non fans to whine and complain about things they have no idea about i rly wish it would be shut down

To me this video was the most interesting video its long and in depth about Miranda as a character the lore and sexism in general it also shows the lenght they went to make her "sexy" things most people wouldn't think about it has low view count but it deserves a lot more in my opinion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDlpEpk5b9c

I'm sure there are plenty of other sites/places that will cater to your needs if pixel booty is *that* important 😛

I thought this was a remaster not a "woke"make??

I can totally understand optimizing the direction of the action, camera's maybe even improving the flow of some dialog.... (e.g The lengthy pause and twisted neck of Shep in ME3 prior to the final battle where he greets Hacket)

But to fundamentally AVOID the physical attributes of key characters.... IMO you've lost the intent (and the fans to a degree)

Shall we also amend Grunt as an exemplar for the pinnacle of physical Krogan development? "All Krogan's are created equally!!! and there should be no place for perfection!"..... Maybe give him a limp or something?? (I dunno what is considered unattractive for Krogan….)

Even though that was a key part of his character arc....Just like Miranda.... "Created" for a purpose but rising beyond that.

The characters wear their scars in different ways - some are tattoos,, some are cultural, some are emotional, some are the antithesis of the perception of what a "scar" is…. Like physical perfection....

Miranda's character is both self aware of her sex appeal / how she wields it as a weapon - whilst also thinking these are the upper limits of her character and she'll amount to nothing more than the vision of her creator who she despises. A perfect, gilded cage. I like the complexity of that narrative and its one of the things that gives that character depth.

I'm not convinced this bout of internet clickbait requires any attention from EA/BioWare other than to stick to their artistic vision. 😉

@budzaiit was not only him it was signed off by at least 3 people that i know of might been more. they should rewrite the ME3 ending that's for sure since 5 ex Bioware devs came out saying its basically junk "https://www.thegamer.com/mass-effect-3-ending-controversy-dev-opinions/"

but ME2 cant really be rewritten since one voice actor is dead Robin Sachs as Zaeed Massani (RIP) so if they rewrite the story they would need to re write a lot of dialogue and hire a new voice actor which i would really not like since Zaeed is my favorite companion as soon as i get Zaeed and Kasumi i never swap xD
