If EA thinks they can salvage this pile of crap by releasing some bullshots featuring improved facial textures, they've got another thing coming.

Don't be fooled, people.

Perjoss3322d ago

Exaggeration, the game is not bad it's just buggy, they absolutely can fix it with patches. People who don't like buggy games should totally avoid it for now but once it's been patched up there is no reason not to have some fun with this game.

UCForce3322d ago

It's improve a lot. I hate to say this, but thank you, Bioware. For listening the community. Even I know the game should have delay in the first place, but i'm glad Bioware are listening.

_-EDMIX-_3322d ago

Agreed. I haven't played it yet, but I've watched enough of it online and it looks really good.

Most of what I've read about the game is better then the other Mass Effects besides its story and those bugs. So I'm ok with buying it later on.

Elimin83322d ago

" People who don't like buggy games" ?

Damn. I mean who the fuck does?

Perjoss3322d ago

"Damn. I mean who the fuck does?"

Well I've played loads of beta tests and I've gotten used to playing unfinished games, games like Ark and Subnautica for example were broken as hell when they first went into early access but were still loads of fun.

Tru_Blu3322d ago

Elimin8, I'd say no one but then I'd be lying. Myself and a few others keep buying Bethesda games for some reason.

Takwin3322d ago

They cannot fix how boring it is. Bland and uninteresting. It is also buggy with poor animations. And so few enemies. And ridiculous forced mini-cutscenes to go everywhere.

I'm now at 72 hours and I don't remember much. Zelda and Horizon, however, those will stick with me for a lifetime. And Persona seems to be just as good as Zelda and Horizon.

Mass Effect was a MASSIVE LETDOWN.

InMyOpinion3321d ago

Mass Effect Andromeda is an awesome game despite its initial bugs. I'm enjoying it just as much as the previous titles tbh.

Then I must be a terrible gamer, because I really enjoyed that pile of crap? :P

MatrixxGT3322d ago

I haven't bought it yet but I will. Just don't have the time to invest in another rpg yet. Just finished H:ZD.

Jon_Targaryen3321d ago

I know right?!?! I enjoy this game more than Bukake on Pandamovies.

_-EDMIX-_3322d ago

lol

yes.

Game has issues, they need to fix it.

Don't be fooled by them trying to fix it.

lol

Trekster_Gamer3322d ago

Agreed this game is crap I need to file it away under crap learn from it and make the next game awesome!

UCForce3321d ago

Nope. It's far from being crap.

MadMax3322d ago

Game isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Gameplay itself is great. Weird facial animations sometimes, but that's mainly with the chic. Have not noticed this with the dude much. It really does not take away from the gameplay at all.

ThatOneRiggaNob3322d ago

Have you even played the game or are you just talking trash about it because you've seen vids on the bugs? Overall the game is still pretty good and the bugs barely take away from the experience. When the bugs hit they do hit but definitely not enough to take away from all the good this game has.

TacticAce3322d ago

I highly doubt this guy even played the the game...

freshslicepizza3322d ago

"If EA thinks they can salvage this pile of crap by releasing some bullshots featuring improved facial textures, they've got another thing coming."

you sound like those who people talk about on user reviews for metacritic where the last call of duty was rated a 0. you guys are such extremists where there is no middle of the road, either a game is fantastic or it sucks.

starchild3321d ago

Exactly. How these people think and behave is simply ridiculous.

joab7773322d ago

This game is amazing and I am pretty harsh in games. The more I play the more I love it. Unlike the previous games, this game opens up and allows you to actually feel like a space explorer. More Star Trek than Star Wars, it blends the rpg elements with the action combat perfectly.

Yeah, it's rough with human faces but they are working in it. To any ME fan, you MUST play this!

3322d ago
Jon_Targaryen3321d ago

To OP..You're whats wrong with gaming... GTFO!

JMyers3321d ago

Fallout and other Bethesda games have many more issues than this game... Graphics, facial animations, textures, etc. The backlash for this game is ridiculous.

mysterious_warrior3321d ago

Game still has a fuck ton of bugs. And Yes people are going to be fooled...

Der_Kommandant3322d ago

Well, I'm gonna buy the game when is fully patched, this is why you don't do preorders.

raWfodog3322d ago

Yeah, I can still wait quite some time to buy this. Right now, my time is consumed by HZD and then it will be onto Persona 5.

RpgSama3322d ago

What about Male Ryder or do they think Male Ryder doesn't have any issues?

drgkngx3322d ago

Female Ryder had more issues that Male Ryder. It's why so many gifs and webms focus on her.

desacitepe3321d ago

my best friend’s ex-wife makes Bucks75/hr on the laptop. She has been unemployed for eight months but last month her income with big fat bonus was over Bucks9000 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Read more on this site.....

AnubisG3322d ago

Better, but she is still ugly. Certainly an improvement though.

opinionated3322d ago (Edited 3322d ago )

It is better though. Why didn't they just use the voice actresses likeness? Face mocap and all. Because she's an attractive woman? I hope not, that's the dumbest reason I have heard so far. I hope it's because they outsourced the animation, which is still shitty but less crazy. Why even bother making games at that point though? Outsourcing your characters in a character driven game lol.

pasta_spice3322d ago

Yeah there was an interview about a week ago with the animators that confirmed the character animations were all outsourced to a cheaper studio because EA wanted the team to focus on the 'important' stuff like locations and ship design. That's why there's such a difference between the backgrounds and ships (which look great), and the people (which....don't).

opinionated3322d ago (Edited 3322d ago )

Yeah I heard some of that. Hopefully the official statement is true. Maybe bioware should just get outsourced lol. They could make great landscapes all day so developers can focus on the characters and gameplay.

Chaosdreams3322d ago

From the screenshots, it looks like a massive improvement. The eyes are important so them fixing it/tweaking it, does a lot.

GameReviewGuy3322d ago

Any game company that is looking to fix there issues rather than just leaving them out to dry is a good thing. Yes, there most definitely are bugs in the game and it feels like the game was taken out of the oven before it was done but I'm glad Bioware is working on this.

ziggurcat3322d ago

they refused to fix some major issues in Dragon Age: Origins on PS3, and I haven't purchased a single Bioware game since. They took to blaming the HW rather than improving their skills with the PS3's architecture.

Sam Fisher3322d ago (Edited 3322d ago )

Well damn you missed really good game, im not buying this till its 30$ idc how long will it take. But still buying 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.

anast477d ago (Edited 477d 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.

TricksterArrow476d 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.

ZeekQuattro476d ago

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

Mass Effect Companion Tier Ranking

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!

IAMRealHooman518d ago

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

anast518d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine518d 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.

anast518d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman518d ago

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

anast518d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman517d 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.

neutralgamer1992553d 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.

OtterX553d 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

TheNamelessOne553d 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.

anast553d 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.

lellkay553d ago

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

pwnmaster3000553d ago (Edited 553d 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.

Armaggedon553d ago

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

MatrixxGT553d ago

Wow, two worlds…red ringed my 360.

Armaggedon553d 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.

matt139553d ago

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

thorstein553d ago

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