Is it Time for Mass Panic Over Mass Effect?

Are the recent BioWare departures rats fleeing a sinking ship or business as usual?

Hyperbole much? Seesh. Why panic at all. It is likely that at this stage in development all the writing has been completed, and maybe even much of the production, so the writers are no longer needed on the project in that capacity.

But regardless, there is no need to start creating hysteria for the sake of it. People move on from projects and get replaced all the time, it hardly affects the project in most cases.

My bet is that Msss Effect Andromeda will still be a great game.

sullynathan3753d ago

ok lets see here. lead writer of Halo 4 leaves 343, joins bio, then joins Bungie. He's a writer, his job gets done, he moves on.

Gaider has nothing to do with the mass effect team and he was all dragon age.

Casey Hudson, well we know what he did to Mass Effect 3 so.

Why are we still acting like if ME Andromeda is still "mid production", from the devs themselves, the game is already in a playable state and is releasing this year. It's not like the game is coming out in 2019.

Errorist763753d ago

If DAI is anything to go by there isn't much hope for Andromeda. I hope they don't make the same mistakes.

For All Its Flaws, Mass Effect: Andromeda's Approach to Romance is Something ME4 Can Learn From

While Mass Effect: Andromeda was let in several key areas, one of its approaches to romances is something Mass Effect 4 should consider revisiting.

I hope Mass Effect 4 ignores the inferior prequels and instead closely follows the far superior Mass Effect: Andromeda and Dragon Age Inquisition.

anast501d ago (Edited 501d ago )

Mass Effect 4 should just make Mass Effect 1 but better with current tech. Fans would be happy. As far as romance, they should take notes from the Witcher and Cyberpunk.

Ristul501d ago

Later Bioware games have to little build up. You can have a normal conversation and all of a sudden BAM! The character you talk to becomes super flirty.

TricksterArrow501d ago

Reminds me of Baldur’s Gate. I wanted to practice some magic and Gale made it super weird. Not even gonna mention Astarion.

gold_drake501d ago (Edited 501d ago )

iii dunno about that.

the only really great and funny dating partner, is that outlaw guy anyways haha he was funny as hell.

other than that, i found every character to be very annoying.

ZeekQuattro500d ago

Shout out to Keri the Asari reporter. Current relationship status be damned as she's game either way. Anything for a good story. 🤣

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast543d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine543d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast543d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman542d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast542d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman542d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

BioWare Thinks Mass Effect Andromeda Was Better Game Than Reception Suggested

BioWare thinks Mass Effect: Andromeda was a better game than what reception suggested; taught the studio not to shoehorn open-world without any meaningful content in it.

thorstein578d ago

I played it and it wasn't as bad as people said. Is it in the 8-10 range? No.

It's a 6-7, which means it's a solid game.

LordoftheCritics578d ago (Edited 578d ago )

Veilguard and Andromeda are of similar level to me.
6 to 6.5 ish

Though I think i enjoyed Andromeda's combat and sense of scale a little bit more.

XBManiac577d ago

Veilguard has better graphics.

neutralgamer1992578d ago

I agree with you It was a 6.5 type game. Gameplay was solid everything else was lacking. Playing at launch with all the issues was just absurd. EA could have let the developers keep patching and fix the game but they stopped just like they did with anthem. It’s crazy to think multi billion dollar publishers can’t afford to keeping patching their games get medium size developers can support the game for years

But when you have android wilson running the company what else can we expect.

OtterX578d ago

Except 6-7 doesn't translate as solid. 6 means a bit flimsy, but still good/enjoyable if you can look past the flaws. 7, a little less flimsy, and enjoyable. 8-10 would be "solid".

But I get your point. I skipped the game entirely, so I don't have an opinion on it.

H9578d ago

I played this game back when I wanted to give every game I bought a fair chance and finish it, it was the reason why I stopped doing so, god the game was bad

TheNamelessOne578d ago

I actually enjoyed Andromeda. It wasn't a 10/10, by any means, but I played it years after the fact, after a lot of patching, and I had a good time with it.

anast577d ago

Same, I enjoyed it too. I might even replay it soon.

TheNamelessOne577d ago

Might do the same, honestly. Went through the trilogy a couple months back.

raWfodog577d ago

I liked it as well, and also played it for the first time over a year after it was released. The original trilogy was a better story overall IMO but I still enjoyed Andromeda.

lellkay578d ago

The game is so unbelivably bad, it's laughable.

pwnmaster3000578d ago (Edited 578d ago )

It really wasn’t. Well for me nd I’m a big fan of the series.
Was it mass effect standard? No
But overall I thought it was a decent game.
6-7/10.

Armaggedon577d ago

You might want to try playing a truly bad game. Go boot up two worlds or gollum to get the perspective you need

MatrixxGT577d ago

Wow, two worlds…red ringed my 360.

Armaggedon577d ago

Lol. Its one of the only games that I have experienced buyers remorse with. The only one I can think of is riders Republic.

matt139578d ago

So delusional, the title was an embarrassment to the original trilogy. it’s the equivalent of 2042 to the battlefield franchise.

thorstein577d ago

2042 had a redemption arc and what exists now is a pretty good FPS.
