That coop mode in ME3 was pretty fun. not a huge fan of the microtransactions, though.

KaiPow3471d ago

I've heard the same things about 3's multiplayer. Hope this one outshines it! (And I hope EA is a little less greedy this time around lol)

-Foxtrot3471d ago

it was fun for like an hour or so but so repetitive that I'd rather they spent that delay on fixing the ending which leaked or finishing off the Omega cut content which they then sold as DLC

Not to mention multiplayer interfered with getting the best ending.

Mass Effect is just not one of those multiplayer franchises and if they want it so badly then do a separate online game made by another studio

Alexious3471d ago

Agreed. I'd love a Mass Effect MMO, though!

Errorist763470d ago

@Alexious

If Dragon Age Inquisition is a way to go by this is exactly what you will be getting with ME Andromeda...a single player MMO!

--Onilink--3471d ago

well, ME3 had microtransactions too and they werent that necessary so if it follows that path it should be an interesting distraction

cleft53471d ago

I never paid a penny for any microtransactions in ME3 and I adore the mp. I still play it. Microtransactions for ME3 is very much like Overwatch. Surprisingly, EA actually did microtransactions right and they support the mp with a ton of free content.

Trailer looked great! Hope the rest of the game can live up to it!

OB1Biker3470d ago (Edited 3470d ago )

I love the back story. Sounds epic with these pathfinders and Arks on their search to start new colonies with the human race Ark lost and in big trouble.

ccgr3471d ago

This series is still on my bucket list :\

Alexious3471d ago

If you have an Xbox One, the first three games just became part of EA Access. Great deal.

FunAndGun3471d ago

Same here, I even bought a bundle on sale like a year ago on PSN that had all the games. I own them, but never even downloaded them yet.

Chris_Wray3471d ago

I just hope they retain a strong focus on the single player. MP is all good and well, but the best of Mass Effect was and will always be the single player.

_-EDMIX-_3471d ago

I don't see them taking away the focus from single player simply because it has a multiplayer component only because Mass Effect 3 how to multiplayer component and I didn't see that hurting its single player in any way shape or form.

BioWare is still a developer that focuses on RPGs I do not recall this team having any real big expertise in multiplayer to really suggest such a thing.

Trust me I don't see multiplayer being that big of a deal and I don't believe the single player will be harmed by it..

bequietdrive3471d ago

Cautiously optimistic, hoping for coop rather than competitive multiplayer though.

Alexious3471d ago

Yes, it's co-op based on the description.

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.

anast476d ago (Edited 476d 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.

Ristul476d 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.

TricksterArrow475d 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_drake476d ago (Edited 476d 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.

ZeekQuattro475d ago

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

IAMRealHooman517d ago

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

anast517d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine517d 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.

anast517d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman517d ago

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

anast517d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman516d 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.

thorstein553d 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.

LordoftheCritics553d ago (Edited 553d 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.

XBManiac552d ago

Veilguard has better graphics.

neutralgamer1992552d 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.

OtterX552d 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.

H9553d 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

TheNamelessOne552d 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.

anast552d ago

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

TheNamelessOne552d ago

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

raWfodog552d 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.

lellkay552d ago

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

pwnmaster3000552d ago (Edited 552d 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.

Armaggedon552d ago

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

MatrixxGT552d ago

Wow, two worlds…red ringed my 360.

Armaggedon552d 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.

matt139552d ago

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

thorstein552d ago

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