The truth is always real, so there is not such thing as "real truth".

No one likes delays but gamers accept them... It's the stockholders who get bent out of shape.

It's ea/bioware, why delay a game and sink more money into it when they probably won't gain extra sales from it? If that was the only issue then I could see a slight delay. But I think they realize this game is full of other problems so there was no point.

Unskilled devs and greedy corporations=the new bioware and EA.

I would not even care about the animation if the story or characters were interesting.

I'm fine with delays, I'd rather wait longer for a finished game than get a piece of trash early. Andromeda just sucks though, I don't think it's because of delays, they just did a poor job. Clearly their animators, writers, and voice actors are incompetent. I can't imagine any were hired because they were qualified.

I had bad feelings when I found out they hired the halo 4 writer to write Andromeda. Halo 4 barely had any story at all. Im not commenting on how bad the game is until I play it.

Still like this game

I wonder if this game was initially developed in one way and then restarted. The animations are embarrassingly bad, and to top it off, the modeling is weaker than other Frostbite 3 games. Form all the reviews and gameplay I've seen, Andromeda looks like a wait for sale. Which is unfortunate, since it was my most anticipated game of 2017. However, I don't think I will have to wait long for a sale. Andromeda will very likely underperform in terms of initial sales.

The sad thing is, there is a good game in there but it just wasn't ready.

i mean..everything i've heard is bad has always been bad.
i've never thought the writing or animations were good. mass effect was always a buggy mess.
i haven't heard of the new one crashing at inconvenient moments yet.

Haha..people who have no mind of their own..I bet half the people here saying it sucks haven't played one second themselves.

Man, I know that bug/glitch fixing is a pain in the as*, but man, they should just have delayed the game and fix them. This a multi-million dollar project that relies heavy on public opinion. A game in this state should never be released.

I can only image what would have happen if we'd release a buggy software to one of our clients...

Too expensive, too ambitious, too few top talents in the team.
Some of what i've seen is embarrassingly bad.

Perhaps in some alternate reality, Bioware released Mass Effect Andromeda which was the complete opposite to the version in our reality.

Don't worry guys, EA will sort this 'Mess' Effect game out....... most likely over the course of a year, with paid for patches in the form micro transactions and DLC add-on content /s

Rushed, money speak again.

After 5 years, it must have gotten delayed a few times already. We just don't know about it. I think EA just gave up and shipped it.

the truth is that gamers & the media are hypocrites pure & simple they complain about voice acting & bad animations yet loved horizon & every bethesda rpg which had the same flaws

While it's buggy it's not as game breaking as people think. So far it's fantastic as a whole. In fact I know it's early but so far my game of the year. It is mass effect. Slightly buggy mass effect

"The Real Truth About Mass Effect: Andromeda"

More work should have been put into it, especially because of it's profile as a notable series, but wasn't. If anything, like other entries in this forced-continued series, even more corners were cut.

The Truth is we didn't even need another ME game, the original 3 are good games, they should have just left it there and come up with a new IP or reshuffle the team, or something, its clear something isn't quite right at Bioware right now.

I am enjoying the game.

I'm enjoying the game so far.

Just needs to fix silly animations

It was just too buggy at launch

It definitely wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t as good as the previous games

Agree. Was actually one of the few games where I looked forward to additional DLC Story content; and they canned it- ridiculous.

I thought the ME Legendary Edition was better then Andromeda. I tried to get into Andromeda but I just couldn't get into it I was bored.

It;s not "bad" especially after all hilarious bugs were fixed but you know what it is though? Forgettable. I don't remember jack about what happened. I still remember ME1,2 and 3 though.

It didn’t feel like mass effect. That was the biggest sin for me. I would give it a 7.5

The problem was that Andromeda started good in initial concept and then continually became worse and worse.

Personally, it's like Veilguard, I liked it.... Would I say it was on par with the Mass Effect Trilogy? No. Now, with the Veilguard , to me, it's better than Dragon Age 2, but not on par with Origins or Inquisition.

I think it was honest trailers that compared it to a direct to dvd sequel rather than a new feature film. That is honestly exactly what it felt like to me.

Im.actually playing mass affect 1 this time around, the legendary edition, its so in depth. Dialogue is so good, I never dived deeper througly b4 and I will be playing mass effect 2&3 the same. I also been playing adromeda sure it's not better than the trilogy but I been enjoying it for what it is. I used to avoid adromeda but I decided to give it a try, don't regret it. Still tho there's nothing like the OG trilogy tho🔥 atleast MEA is better than saints row 2022🤣🤷🏾 ;‍♂️

Well keep thinking that and Mass Effect 5 will have the same sales results

The puzzles was boring and unnecessary...still enjoyed it

as did the developers of ride to hell retribution
saints row reboot
forespoken
and many more

The game was great so long as you skipped the dialogue and story. The open world and combat was awesome. Some of the environments and towns were great. It was the characters, the writing and story that ruined it.

i played it a couple years ago for the first time. and thats after all the updates etc.

it looks really good and the combat is fun, however everything else is not as good as the og trilogy.

ME Andromeda had the same issue Dragon Age 2 did, they followed on from something infinitely better. On their own they were fine games (except Andromeda on launch was an absolute embarrassment) but compared to what came before they didn't stand a chance.

No, it isn't.

Oh, I don't doubt it. Bioware probably thinks that Veilgard is a masterpiece with 10/10 writing. It's actually sad. Bioware bled talents throughout the years and now there no good devs left. Only those who were hired to fill diversity quotas. I have no faith in ME4.

They really are in their own echo-chamber.
