Mass Effect Andromeda Review - Polygon

Arthur Gies - "There’s a lot of roughness throughout the game, and the technical issues, while not game-breaking, are often incredibly distracting.

But it’s my time with the cast that I’m still thinking about, and the mysteries about the world that haven’t been answered that make me feel like I’m waiting once again for a new Mass Effect game. And if I’m judging a game by where it leaves me, Andromeda succeeds, even if it stumbled getting there."

Gazondaily3343d ago

Well 7.5 from this very site caused an uproar for many in the past! 🙈

Dark_Knightmare23343d ago (Edited 3343d ago )

Dude almost every one of your comments is a dig at Sony or its fans seriously grow the hell up. There was nothing about his comment that warranted bringing that up besides to fanboy. I mean do you know him personally and if not than how do you know for a fact he was one of the people who lost it over polygons tlou score oh wait you don't you just wanted to fanboy a little

skydragoonityx3343d ago

@ Dark_Knightmare2 septic is a known troll on N4G i wouldn't even bother replying him.

guyman3343d ago

I see septic tank still cant get over how good the last of us is. Dont worry, the sequel will be even better than the first masterpiece

UltraNova3343d ago

I thought Polygon would score Andromeda lower than a 7.5 considerig IGN and GS's scores...well they seem to like it more...

PS: septic you done f**** it up...again.

game4funz3343d ago

@Dark
@Sky

no. Septic is known to bring out the hypocrisy. At least that is all I got from his comment.

CaptainObvious8783342d ago

Do you know why you're the worst, Septic?

Because you keep pointing out other fanboys when you're the biggest fanboy on this site.

I guess when you've been tricked 3 times by MS, and by that I mean it's halfway through the generation and MS have once again basically stopped bringing out any exclusives, and with the exclusive situation on the xbone being the worst it's ever been since MS entered the console market, it's really messed with your head.

Your hypocrisy was cute to begin with, but now it's just getting annoying.

Gazondaily3342d ago

Lol you know i speak the truth

Really? You do realize that you too are considered a very prolific Playstation troll.

Just as I feared. What a Pity from Bioware, this is totally unacceptable for a Series like mass effect

PhoenixUp3343d ago

Them animations were the warning signs

Artemidorus3343d ago

Makes you wonder if they fixed this game before retail realase, would the scores changed....

Miss_Weeboo3343d ago

I remember an awesome game known as Mass Effect with an even more awesome sequel, but then EA took control of it...

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.

anast480d ago (Edited 480d 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.

Ristul480d 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.

TricksterArrow479d 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_drake480d ago (Edited 480d 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.

ZeekQuattro479d 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

anast521d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine521d 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.

anast521d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman521d ago

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

anast521d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman521d 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.

thorstein557d 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.

LordoftheCritics557d ago (Edited 557d 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.

XBManiac556d ago

Veilguard has better graphics.

neutralgamer1992557d 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.

OtterX556d 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.

H9557d 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

TheNamelessOne557d 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.

anast556d ago

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

TheNamelessOne556d ago

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

raWfodog556d 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.

lellkay557d ago

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

pwnmaster3000556d ago (Edited 556d 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.

Armaggedon556d ago

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

MatrixxGT556d ago

Wow, two worlds…red ringed my 360.

Armaggedon556d 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.

matt139557d ago

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

thorstein556d ago

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