  1. I honestly don’t know how to feel about #MassEffect3 #InsanityMode

    Still rockin’ my playthrough, already more than prepared for the final confrontation with my War Assets at 8129 so far, but however difficulty was implemented for this particular title in the series seems… off…

    Except for #ArmaxArena — that shit is HARD on Insanity, enemies actually adopting superior tactics with increased challenge level, and far more gruelling than the rest of the game. Feels more like playing multiplayer back in the day when the game first launched than against simulated opponents.

  11. TFW you somehow manage to survive the Collector’s ambush on #InsanityMode, make off like bandits with all the best loot and intel, and incinerate every last one of them on your way out just to hear them scream

  16. Nothing feeds a hero complex quite like beating a #FullParagon #Completionist #InsanityMode #MassEffect1 playthrough in record time, your entire crew kitted up with Colossus X armour and full Spectre HMW X loadouts—yes, even the crew member left behind on Virmire—before flying off to Ilos with your true love at your side. Yet still left with a mere credit shy of a cool $10m in the bank.

    Starfield eat your heart out.

  21. There’s something seriously wrong in #MassEffectAndromeda with Kadara’s Remnant Architect mission

    Never mind that the Remnant Architect itself is a (very, very, verrrryyy) thinly veiled metaphorical embodiment of Narcissism, with its Flying Monkeys and all, masquerading as a robot-space-dragon that doesn’t belong in the #MassEffect universe in the first place

    This is a serious bug. Four times in a row I’ve defeated Kadara’s Remnant Architect on #InsanityMode and the moment it’s defeated both Ryder’s health and shields instantly drop to zero, and it sends me back to the very beginning of the battle

    The main reason I hate Kadara so much is because the whole planet is half-assed and buggy, with major narrative inconsistencies repeated several times. But THIS?? What the actual fuck?? A showstopper bug like this shouldn’t even be in a closed playtest version, let alone the very last release version.

    Does anyone know if there’s a workaround?

    #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

  22. You might be tempted to believe battling the Remnant Architect on #InsanityMode is the most epic and legendary experience imaginable, but you’d be as dead wrong as Drack. God damn that was tedious. Even more tedious than a Kett Ascendant.

    #MassEffectAndromeda #MassEffect #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

  23. Lost count of how many times I’ve played #MassEffectAndromeda and yet I’m still discovering features I’ve never noticed before

    Like, did you know you can equip your Strike Teams with specific bonus traits?? You don’t have to rely on gaining them as mission rewards, you can buy them with Mission Funds

    #MassEffect #InsanityMode #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

  24. Skeldah is perhaps my most favourite system in the whole Heleus Cluster. It’s not just stunningly beautiful—it’s perfect.

    I only wish I could land on every planet in the system and freely explore… sadly there’s no landing zone on any planet in the system.

    #MassEffectAndromeda #MassEffect #InsanityMode #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

  25. 100% Viability of all planets 🤘🏻

    I suppose this is where I’m supposed to say something ignorant and egotistical like “I am a golden god!” but I achieve this every playthrough so it’s kind of old hat by this point

    #MassEffectAndromeda #MassEffect #InsanityMode #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

  26. I think that’s enough #MassEffectAndromeda #InsanityMode for this weekend—defeating Akksul’s invasion and reaching Level 40 is a high note worth breaking on

    Time to check the fuck out and binge #StarTrekDS9 with a nice cup of tea; Yorkshire Gold, to be precise

    I’d continue my #StarTrekTNG marathon but *somehow* I managed to clean out my entire stock of Earl Grey. Can you believe that shit?

    #MassEffect #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox and also #Tea

  27. Now, defeating Akksul’s two invading armies on Eos, on #InsanityMode, just me and my little Pathfinder squad? And hitting Level 40 in the process? Yeah. That’s a fuckin’ accomplishment. And feels like one too.

    #MassEffectAndromeda #MassEffect #InsanityMode #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

  28. Sure. I got through it. I achieved 100% viability of Kadara, but I feel no sense of accomplishment whatsoever. I hate the whole planet so much I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to play this game again after this playthrough. I’m talking sick-to-the-pit-of-my-stomach and periodic-bouts-of-PTSD-rage hate. The kind of hate that ruins a game forever.

    It’s not just the disgusting and vile bottom-feeding characters that dominate the landscape. It’s not just the sloppy level design and buggy missions, some of which are impossible to complete because of outstanding bugs. It’s not even the propensity of the game to cheat when the player is performing too well on #InsanityMode

    It’s the complete lack of linearity to progression and difficulty scaling—you go nowhere nowhere nowhere for the whole of Kadara, not earning any AVP or XP worth mentioning the entire time, trapped on this plateau of tedium without reward or purpose until you’ve finally suffered through the whole goddamn miserable waste of a planet, and chosen a side between either a traitor or a backstabber. It’s not even a morally ambigupus choice. The only moral choice isn’t available to the player.

    In any case, I’m so glad it’s over because I never want to step foot on that stinking filth-pit ever again.

    Aw shit I still have Drack’s goddamn loyalty mission to deal with. Fuck!

    #MassEffectAndromeda #MassEffect #InsanityMode #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

  29. I’ve hit this really frustrating “playwall” in #MassEffectAndromeda on #InsanityMode at Level 20, where I’ve run out of missions and locations with which to gather XP and crafting resources, so can’t get the Tier 4 weapons and armor I need to actually take on the next stage of the main storyline…

    I mean. I could certainly TRY to rescue the Moshae with a Tier 3 loadout. But.

    #MassEffect #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

  30. Reached Level 18 simultaneous with the restart of Havarl’s vault just now, and it’s not like I can blame it on skill or anything.

    On #InsanityMode that was completely by the skin of my teeth. Ryder can’t even physically run fast enough to grab the rem-tech and make it back to the console before the purification field kills the whole squad. And just how many times am I expected to watch Jaal and Peebee die in horrible gasping agony before I either find a way through or never play a #MassEffect game ever ever again, anyway??

    So I biotic-blinked myself the whole way there, grabbed the loot and leapfrogged onto the platform, over the turret, off an observer, and over the barrier wall, and jammed that console in Homer’s name.

    Okay, sure, that one scene was an Odyssey and a half on its own. But I do mean Simpson. There’s no way in hell that should’ve worked.

    #MassEffectAndromeda #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

  31. I’m not going to say #MassEffectAndromeda isn’t hard on #InsanityMode but it isn’t as hard as I remember it being

    I haven’t cried once! Yet…

    #MassEffect #Gaming

  32. Okay, I pushed the work I needed to get done today, so now I can brew some fresh coffee and enjoy #MassEffectAndromeda both guilt-free and irresponsibly at the same time!

    #MassEffect #InsanityMode #Gaming

  33. Got the Tempest! Got a pet pyjak! Made it to Eos! Shredded the Kett! This #InsanityMode playthrough of #MassEffectAndromeda is going really well so far

    #MassEffect #Gaming

  34. I was mildly annoyed at first that while #Steam makes it far more seamless than #PlayStation to take screenshots in games without #PhotoMode you then have to exit the game to upload them, whereas on the console you can share them in real-time and the game pauses automatically in the background

    But I suppose it’s for the best. It forces me to take regular breaks, which is more than usually necessary playing #MassEffectAndromeda on #InsanityMode

    #MassEffect #Gaming

  35. Yes, #MassEffectAndromeda plays so much better on PC with a controller than keyboard/mouse

    #InsanityMode is still hard, but at least I have my expected level of eye-hand coordination back, while playing southpaw minimizes my left/right-confusion when under stress

    #MassEffect #Gaming

  36. Queueing up #MassEffectAndromeda but since #InsanityMode is too weird when playing with keyboard/mouse, I’m setting up my PS4 controller for Steam to see if it helps any

    First discovery: still have to keep keyboard handy for timely screenshots, because the official controller layout didn’t factor that in

    #MassEffect #Gaming

  37. God damn #MassEffectAndromeda is far too stimulating on #InsanityMode (even more so on PC than PS4 for some reason)

    It’s been hours since calling it quits for the day and I’m still completely wrecked

    #MassEffect #Gaming

  38. Every moment of this first Pathfinder mission to Habitat 7 is so stunning, it’s the hook that doesn’t let go
