"homophobia" doesn't exist.

I'm still trying to make homotaedium happen. Because we are tired of hearing about degenerates and nobody would give a shit if they pretended to be normal in public.

Another example is Jack, who is literally bisexual, but is unable to be flirted with in the same way as she can be with male Shepard by female Shepard. It isn’t just Mass Effect 2 that we see that Jack swings both ways, but during her flirty conversation with Miranda Lawson in Mass Effect 3’s Citadel DLC. Jack – and arguably Miranda’s – bisexuality is clear, but only from a distance where it can be pushed to one corner and never interacted with in any meaningful way.

It is physically impossible for my eyes to roll further back into my skull. I bet she was one of them that went full Karen screaming about how Jack and Cora were both gay because they were "queer coded".

So Jack is bisexual? I did not even know you could romance her, she was so not attractive and Miranda was bisexual? Honestly asking, I've only played male Shepard but Miranda gave no lesbo vibes, unlike Liara.

And Mass Effect 3 kind of sucked, they turned the bionic dude from the first game gay for some unknown fucking reason. Why can it not be that 2 guys be close friends without being gay, please do not tell me my boy Garus is now gay as well.

No. Neither of them are bi. Jack makes a passing comment about how a couple "used her before selling her". The alphabet mafia cling to that as proof she's queer.

And Miranda never gives any indication whatsoever she likes anything but men. The mafia likes to portray Jack and Miranda's hate for each other as simply sexual tension. That's what they hold on to for Miranda.

It's fucking retarded. Basically Mass Effect is "homophobic" because there are straight people in it.

They also use cut content as an excuse. And hairstyles. And their own wishful thinking.

I bet she is one of those bigots that assigned a sex to Jack and Cora without their consent.

Ugh, their obsession with video game sex won't end will it. Want to make some money? Just make a game where anyone can fuck anything, gender is a text box, put in whatever the hell you want, and the rest of the point of the game is to virtually virtue signal. Oh wait I think I just leaked TLOU3.

What is the point of Legendary Edition, does it have additional content and will it fix the story in Mass Effect 3?

I already have the trilogy and the graphic is not that bad even on the first game. I do not care enough about graphics to pay a lot of money to play the same game with a woke agenda but better graphics, I still play Bladurs Gate from time to time and I'm just starting Septera Core so graphics alone does not impress me.

I believe they will try to shoehorn a canonical ending to set up Mass Effect 4.

Doesn't matter though. The people that knew why Mass Effect worked are long gone. Bioware is a Husk for EA-Execs to play with and find new ways to screw up the gameplay and providing remedy in the form of microtransactions.

I can't see any way for them to continue the Reaper story line. Andromeda was not a bad idea in the sense that they should start an entire new story line. As for potential is not EA that makes me think it will not be to my liking is the fact that they're fans of Anita.

Didn't they already confirm 4 is going to continue after 3?

Too bad they fucked that up by not providing an actual story worth experiencing.

As for potential is not EA that makes me think it will not be to my liking is the fact that they're fans of Anita.

Anita is the reason the lore/story will be uninteresting and dull at best. EA is the reason you won't have fun with the rest of the game until you pay extra.

So I had to check a few gaming sites about the trilogy announcement. WTF is with the hype, a ton of instant buy or day 1 comments, is a remastered and not a remake, I liked the Mass Effects games but I can't understand the hype. No one has stop them from playing, do you need to spend 50 bucks to get motivated to play the same game? A better graphic is no reason to spend the price of a full AAA game.

I'm starting to think they are either payed or people working on the project. This reminds me of when one of my previous employers was asking us to like and comment on the company twitter posts.

Basically "day 1" buyers of this are people with an emotional attachment to the game for some reason or another and want to have a new copy that will last forever.

Yes. I consider myself one of these people, but I play it on PC and it looks great. I'm going to wait for reviews of the remaster before I commit to buying it.

Another part of the hype is people having ridiculous expectations of it. Ever since the announcement r/MassEffect has been flooded with people posting retarded lists of things they want to see added or changed. Such as overhauling ME1's combat system to match ME3's or Andromeda's, or adding current year bullshit to the trilogy like making every character bi.

And no matter how many times it's explained to them they refuse to understand the difference between a remake and a remaster. So there are going to be a lot of buttmad people when the remaster comes out and Jack isn't gay like they expect her to be.

There are going to be a lot of buttmad people on reddit and twitter. Hopefully this are not the main target audience, the majority of players are still straight white males who most likely will not care much about gay shit.
