Popular content creator Mutahar of the SomeOrdinaryGamers YouTube channel started a fire on Twitter a few days ago when he decided to pick a fight with theMass Effectfanbase.
What started out as a not-too-harsh tweet about the second game in the popular RPG franchise soon blossomed into a full-blown assault as people shared their opinions, agreeing but mostly disagreeing with Mutahar’s opinion.
Mass Effect Fans Are Enraged!
So, what sparked this debate? In the tweet in question, Mutahar simply stated that he wasn’t a fan of the storyMass Effect 2has to offer; he didn’t say it was a bad game or anything so harsh, just that he didn’t care for the story. However, this proved too much for some Twitter/X users, and they fought back.
Nah. Muta come on dude. This is just wrong

A particularly popular response from Chris the Narc garnered a few hundred likes and thousands of views. The conversation went on and mostly got into the merits of the game’s approach to its story. Many defended the game, claiming that it was meant to be more of a setup for the third installment of the epic conclusion to the originalMass Effect Trilogy.

Some, however, did take Mutahar’s side, agreeing that game pacing feels more akin to a series of side quests built around building relationships than going on an epic journey. FranklyGaming started a fight when they broke it down, explaining that the first and third games are more memorable with world-building and set piece moments.

This sparked further debate and anger fromhardcore fans and the heated debate rages on. This definitely goes to show that no matter who you are, content creator or massive organization, you need to be careful when it comes to messing with large fan bases. You could start a simple Twitter/X war like this one or get your gamemassively review bombed until you turn that decision around.
This is Still a Franchise Worth Caring About
Most fans can probably agree, though, thatMass Effectis one of the most important franchises in the last few decades of gaming, with an epic narrative spanning three games.

The fact it’s still being talked about to this day shows its influence is sure to be felt for many years to come.With a new installment in the franchiseapparently on the way and the middling response to 2017’sMass Effect Andromeda,fans will no doubt have much more to argue over in the coming years.
The layoffs at the studio, however, are not really helping the franchise’s case. Whatever Bioware is cooking up, it will surely be something memorable.
But what do you think? Is Mutahar right about the popular RPGsstory? Let us know in the comments!
