Can someone copy and paste some text? I'm using a crap phone atm and the ME site isn't working. Since the release of Mass Effect™: Andromeda, we’ve worked hard to address feedback from our community. From improving animations to expanding customization options, we looked to respond to your concerns, and build on what you loved.
Hmm...

The game was designed to further expand on the Pathfinder’s journey through this new galaxy with story-based APEX multiplayer missions really? i haven't touched the multiplayer at all. (also stopped playing the singleplayer after the ice planet) |

and nothing of value was lost

I can't say I'm surprised. I do feel like they're reacting a bit too harshly, though.

Is the game worth playing in it's current state? For the 20 or $30 you can find it for now, definitely. The combat is great, and multiplayer is fun. Everything else is a mixed bag and depends on how anal you are, and how much you compare it to the first trilogy. As someone who came into the series with Andromeda, it feels worth the $60 for me. Exploring the different environments is actually fun, again the combat is some of the best I've seen in a shooter, and they can be cheesy but I like the characters. @SSJGrimReaper posted... tfw your game flopped It didn't really flop. 7/10 in reviews isn't the best, but far from bad. And it's one of the top 5 or 6 best selling games of this entire year which means it sold 4 million at the very least which isn't bad either.

f*** EA for not giving Mass Effect any respect. They did the same s*** with Mirror's Edge. Why the hell even allow sequels to be made if they are going to be passed off to D teams and poorly promoted? Who exactly are you pleasing? |

They set up a DLC/sequel hook in the game that they are now promising to finish in comics and novels. EA sure as f*** think it flopped. |

:( At this particular point in time I honestly think shutting the whole thing down is more respectful than making sequels to Andromeda and allowing that to be Mass Effect's legacy (until they decide to reboot it in 10 years) |
|
Not surprised tbh. If they'd released any SP DLC, people would complain about why they're releasing anything when the base game isn't up to par and it would do more harm than good. Glad they're still supporting multiplayer at least, it's still pretty great.

I can't say I'm surprised. I do feel like they're reacting a bit too harshly, though. They never built Andromeda with a single player focus in mind. They basically took the gameplay framework from the MP game in ME3, refined it a lot, and built a game around it for Andromeda. I fully expected them to drop single player support well before MP.

If you play the multiplayer there's still room for the random loot crate progression falls so poorly for you that you'll get pissed off enough to spend real money on premium currency... to buy more lootboxes. |

hockeybub89 posted...:( I'm talking about Andromeda itself. I don't think it was as bad as everyone said and I actually enjoyed it, but it's just shameful how that game was made. Made by the worst Bioware had to offer, poor promotion, no E3 presence, pushed out the door in an especially unfinished state. And then they dropped the franchise like a bad habit almost immediately. Why did they even bother in the first place? |
|
I'm not surprised, but I can't say I'm not sad that this has happened. I actually did enjoy the gameplay, I love the worlds and the exploration. But despite all that, I just could not get into the characters (Drack's the only one I really liked) not even my own and that was ABSOLUTELY crucial in a game like this for me. And thus I could not finish it. Oh well :l

Not meeting expectations =/= flop Plus based on what was leaked and said in interviews, sounds as if they gave the game to a new team with not enough resources and rushed the game out before it was done to move on to other projects (probably Anthem). So they probably settled on no dlc to begin with. Nothing shy of being the best game of the year by a large margin probably wouldn't have changed their direction.

Andromeda was great i liked it was really looking forward to the quarian ark dlc@Banana_Cyanide posted...Nothing short of an entire franchise reboot can save Mass Effect now.
So like, make the first game not canon? The first game was good though.
Or just do a remake of ME1?
What's exactly a reboot?I-I really needed this~~

Andromeda was an attempt to make the series go somewhere after the cluster f*** that was the third games ending. Now that Andromeda is an even worse cluster f*** there's no where to take the series anymore. It's a dead franchise now and a reboot is the only way to do anything anymore.Who knew bananas could be so lethal?
Proud member of The Church of The God-Emperor of Man.The bridge burning with fans that ME3's ending was.
Having your D squad of developers handle a AAA flagship title.
The plethora of technical problems that resulted from that.
The SJW nonsense going on.
An actual racist on the dev team.
This trash got what it deserved. It's heartening to see the general gaming community has a limit as to what they will tolerate and this crossed it and then some.
Everything and everyone that Bioware is at the moment needs to be gone before these things will change. And seeing how they just brought back A number 1 f***wit Casey Hudson as the general manager of all of Bioware (the ass singularly responsible for ME3's bs ending) it's going to be a long time.FFVII Remake: A disaster in the making.

Our last update, 1.10, was the final update for Mass Effect: Andromeda. There are no planned future patches for single-player or in-game story content.
Now read the next part where they say they are working on future MP content...Banana_Cyanide posted...LittleRoyal posted...

Yes but
Bioware gave employees statues of Shepard if they worked there 10 years and it's female only.
In interviews the manager of Bioware referred to Shepard exclusively as "she"
I've seen vids online and 80% are female.
I feel you make a charavter in Andromeda it asks if Shepard was male or female but if you don't answer it'll default to female. (Unless you press QuickStart. Customization defaults to female QuickStart defaults to male since nobody uses QuickStart)I-I really needed this~~
Time to stomp some faces!!!As a Mass Effect fan I am sad the series died with a whimper.
But as a realist, what they were expecting? Following up 3 great games with a mediocre one

Yes^ Hey now that's completely unfair.
https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpgBanana_Cyanide posted...For the last time EA didn't do this. This falls squarely on BioWare and no one else.
and as much as I hate Casey Hudson him returning is an improvement compared to what they had before.
For the last time (not really) this is stupid. Of course EA had a hand in it. Bioware didn't release the game in a broken state and charge 60 dollars for it.
Assumedly Bioware also didn't make the choice to focus so hugely on a freemium-economy based multiplayer mode to pull in them microtransaction money instead of improving on and optimizing the singleplayer.
Who even decided there should be a Mass Effect 4? I don't know but if I had to guess I'd say... not Bioware.megATOMOS posted...1) Make an entry in a beloved sci-fi series that made buttloads of cash

EA gave Bioware a new studio and gave them a chance to work on this game. They had like 4 years to work on it and it didn't work out. There was nothing rushed about it.

It seems like the game was like a year behind schedule. It needed to come out eventually. If it was released now it would still be an average game.Kind Regards,

5 years after mass effect 3 which was 2 years after mass effect 2 rushing ehhYellowSUV posted...It was a really dumb move in hindsight to give a flagship title to a division of the company that only worked on creating Mass Effect 3's multiplayer.
Basically.
The whole development of the game was a disaster - it changed repeatedly, leaving them with making what they did in a year as they did new/different things. They really needed better oversight/structure and to not have it dumped on a studio ill equipped to handle a game like ME.YellowSUV posted...It was a really dumb move in hindsight to give a flagship title to a division of the company that only worked on creating Mass Effect 3's multiplayer.

It was 5 years; and it is definitely rushed (literally all of the asari have the same face c'mon), there's plenty of info out there detailing how they couldn't decide on a story and gameplay far into the development process and forced to rush the last year and half of development
