This is sad news for me. I have over 80 hours logged in MEA not many games i put that much time into these days, but i did enjoy it and finished it. Gameplay is excllent it just some of the other stuff that a problem. But overally its a good game and i would have liked to see DLC. Its not like they will not make money…

Glad to see this happen. I’ve been worried that the fanbase would still rush out and support any half decent Mass Effect game which would send a signal to management that they haven’t done anything wrong.

I will never understand this mindset. “Man, if only gamers had tolerated a product that didn’t meet their expectations we cold have gotten DLC.” While every criticism sure as hell isn’t valued, stop pretending that consumer desiring decent products is somehow indecent. “it was still 100% playable” Wow. Hot-damn. What…

From a PR perspective, Lozzle is absolutely right. Thread after thread and meme after meme, the game was the laughing stock of the internet for weeks, which is very harmful to a franchise these days. Other games may have had a rougher technical launch, but this was one the roughest launches from a marketing…

Well, they made exactly the same mistake that 2K did with Borderlands: Pre-Sequel -

Damn shame. Was hoping to see that Quarian Ark. Still, I just hope the team left can do a good enough job of smoothing over technical issues with the game. The core issues with their animation system can’t be fixed asides from a total overhaul, and the chances of such happening are beyond slim. Still, they’ve done a…

Actually it was their fault since the original Bioware team hardly touched it. It even went through more than 200 developers. Something was going on that wasn’t sticking and they just kept at it without even knowing what to do about it all. It lost it’s original trilogy director and writers.

I don’t know, it was awkward at times and some of the characters seemed kind of flat, but it wasn’t THAT bad, not like it was a horrible game or anything. The combat was good, I enjoyed playing around with the profiles system and all that.

The ending was actually quite satisfying because I had taken the time to 100%…

Yep. Worst gaming purchase I’ve made in a long time (that I couldn’t return). Won’t be fooled again.

The worst part of all of this is that Andromeda isn’t even really a bad game. It’s not as good as the original trilogy and it has problems that should have been fixed before launch, but it’s still better than 80% of what’s out there on the market. Expectations were impossibly high.

Welp. See you in 20 years/never again, beloved series.

That was such a bat shit reasoning as to why it’s always a damsel in distress.

Yep, it’s sure terrible how that damsel-in-distress trope continues to “haunt” games. I’m glad Mayor Pauline is here to help set the medium straight. Sheesh.

I hope nobody paid you for writing this crap.

Your statement reminds me of a bit from Patton Oswalt. He talks about how people need to stop taking the words people say at face value and instead listen to the intent behind them. Because someone may say something in a crude manner but the heart behind the words could be altruistic and loving. Yet a person that says…

It just seems really Euro-centric to me that we’re trying to pressure Asian developers to conform their artistic visions to cross-intersectional Anglo-Normative cultural values.

Anakin was cool though.

Nahh... while Luke’s capacity of flying sophisticated star ships was never really explained in ANH, we wasn’t close to the Mary-Sueishness of Rey in TFA. Girl went from learning about the force to Jedi-mind tricking people, to kicking wannabe Sith-Lord asses within 5 minutes. She was the complete opposite of poor Fin,…

Secret is: Rey is a Mary Sue.
