Mass Effect: Andromeda and its developer, BioWare, have lost another team member, making this the third team member on the project to depart.
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.
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.
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.
Reminds me of Baldur’s Gate. I wanted to practice some magic and Gale made it super weird. Not even gonna mention Astarion.
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.
Shout out to Keri the Asari reporter. Current relationship status be damned as she's game either way. Anything for a good story. 🤣
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
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.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
You might want to try playing a truly bad game. Go boot up two worlds or gollum to get the perspective you need
Lol. Its one of the only games that I have experienced buyers remorse with. The only one I can think of is riders Republic.
So delusional, the title was an embarrassment to the original trilogy. it’s the equivalent of 2042 to the battlefield franchise.
Changes at BioWare Studios:
"Today, I have some difficult changes to announce that affect some of our EA Studios teams and projects.
After much consideration we have decided to cease development on Mass Effect: Andromeda, and are in discussions with employees about the proposed closure of BioWare in the US.
These have been tough decisions and we have not made them lightly, nor are they a reflection on these development teams – we are incredibly fortunate to have the talent, creativity and commitment of the people at these studios. The BioWare team has delighted millions of fans with the Mass Effect series over the past decade...."
I get the feeling that there is a lot of corporate interference on the new ME. If that is true, get ready for disappointment.
Every game sees departures, but it's not often that games see so many high profile departures. It really does seem like there is something going on over there.
It may just be an internal struggle over the direction of the game, which is never good.
Now, do I think that this will disrupt the release for next year? No. Do I think it will be a AAA quality game. Yes. Will it have the heart and soul that once embodied Bioware games when they pushed genres and innovated un various ways? No.
I'm guessing that EA is heavily involved and some ppl have taken issue with this. Will it still be a good game and very successful? Most likely.
