Mass Effect's PC DLC problems seem to have been solved, even if you might end up spending a little more than you might like to get hold of every bit of content. The series has some truly excellent DLC Playing the games without them certainly hurts the experience as you miss out on some killer stories[...]

Mass Effect: Andromeda's launch was certainly a hot topic The game was met with huge fan backlash, but since it has seen a lot of work Patches have sanded off the edges, and now, what many found janky and messy looks fairly impressive That's why now might be a great chance to dive in. If you[...]

  While the future of the franchise is somewhat uncertain at the moment, with Mass Effect turning 10 years old, there is certainly time to look back on the fondest times with the crew(s).

There were many things wrong with Mass Effect: Andromeda by the time the game shipped, but developer Manveer Heir has blamed the large share of the issues on a lack of diversity at Bioware Which, we pretty much expected.

Mass Effect: Amdromeda is a continuous train of disappointment The game was rushed, repetative, and riddled with odd motion capture and facial animation bugs And now we won't even be getting any single player expansions to make that campaign a bit less repetative ME: Andromeda will just get multiplayer DLCs like weapons, skins, and maps. The[...]

  I'm just going to leave this one here for you, with very, very little commentary. Game Informer unearthed a video of Mass Effect's Commander Shepard, as a zombie, dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Looks like being undead is the only cure to Shepard's horrible dancing. Without further ado, I give you "Mass Effect – Zombie Shepard Resurrected" by l2dusk. https://youtu.be/GE0gaq_WIZoVideo[...]

The same day they released the long awaited facial animations patch, Bioware also issued a statement dealing with the recent controversy over Mass Effect: Andromeda's trans character The character in question is Hainly Abrams, a seemingly random NPC you can encounter while combing the Andromeda galaxy for viable planets for your fellow Milky Way travelers to live[...]

Scott Ryder flanked by none of his potential same-sex partners Oh Mass Effect: Andromeda This is the game that tried, but didn't quite make it on a lot of fronts While the multiplayer is absolutely solid, the single player campaign which should be the heart of any Bioware title is lacking in so many ways[...]

She is now being blamed for the bizarre facial animations in Mass Effect: Andromeda even though she did not work on Andromeda at all Leost has been attacked viciously on social media, most notably on her twitter account.
