Andromeda might have killed it. EA is a known wasteland of great franchises like Command and Conquer,Mercenaries,Dead Space etc.

I Hope so.

Im sick to my stomach with what Mass Effect has been turned into by EA.

A game that caters to the LGBT & the ultra Left Liberals, feminism.

As far as Im concerned, Im glad its gone, as much as I loved the Mass Effect series last Gen, its over........EA & its Political agenda has destroyed it.

EA is the Kiss of Death.

It's good to see a AAA franchise blow up in the face of a developer, it proves they are not untouchable and susceptible to the consequences of their actions.

Yep. Called it Dec 2016 after that atrocious game reveal at the VGAs. Gone the way of Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid and now even Hitman sadly.

I hope not, but make it more like the first game. I still feel there is a vast amount that can be done in this universe and would be sad to see it go.

That being said I think it is best to make a different game before bringing out another Mass Effect and that being Jade Empire.

I'd love to see more of that world and would even be fine with a remake, then finally getting the sequel. That is the game Bioware needs to be working on next and hopefully they will.

yes. dead.

i dont think its dead, fans are just rly disappointed with the last game but it did well.

It dies whatever EA touches. Especially when they didnt create it, ie taking over someone elses work

It might be less about the critical reviews and more that it flopped commercially and didn't even make its money back as of yet that it took to develop and advertise it.

Yeah Ass effect is good as dead lol. Just throw that garbage and try to make quality games. Learn how to make quality games from Nintendo and CD PR

Dead and buried (from a ME fan since 2006) ... :(

It's been dead for awhile now... The orginal ending to ME3 was IP suicide. The rehash fixed some but not all of the issues. Granted, you can never fix it in full no matter what you do as people will always remember that feeling of betrayal your most loyal fan felt after they got through that ten minutes of nonsensical BS at the end.

I would be willing to give it another chance. It was clear from the start that Andromeda was more of a side story than it was a follow-up to the original trilogy. Sweep this one under the rug, learn from your mistakes, work with the right team, and go for gold on ME4

To me? Sure seems like it. I could forgive if the next ME was awesome. I don't have that much faith in bioware anymore though.

It got serious injuries after the last Mass Effect, it needs some serious rest for now ...

It should have been allowed to end gracefully instead of being forced to exist just because. That's why we ended up with a game like Andromeda a boring slog that is a pale imitation of the trilogy before it. Sometimes good things do and should come to an end. Anthem seems like it might be a new and fresh beginning.

Mass Effect is dead and Bioware killed it.

Well that depends.... how many characters are going to have a trans gender option? That LGBTQ bandwagon IS still rolling isn't it? Hell, maybe even a little mix and match of the old bathing suit areas eh?

This series was never that great IMO...with the exception of #2, the writing got shittier with each installment with its eye plucking level of annoying and ceaseless positive reinforcement, pep-rally garbage. I couldnt even finish the third piece of trash, felt like I was playing through a f'ing "After School Special." I was waiting for some tripe like "dont use drugs billy" to spew out from someone's dialogue. Havent touched one since and probably never will again.

Dragon Age will certainly fail too if they give fans more of the same. I call it the Witcher 3 Effect.

Wouldn't say dead but definitely put at the back of the que.

Non fans of the series destoryed it by pointing out flaws. Even when improved and some flaws fixed, they continued bashing it to a point they put things on hold.

If you could all do this to COD that would be great.

Bring back Sheppard....

Yes, Bioware is overrated and they make pathetic games that only appeal to SJWs and the retarded.

For starters, ME:A failed because EA thought it was a great idea to suddenly implement Frostbite 18 months before release, having to redo the whole game on it. Heads should seriously fall in EA's directorial management, but those cash junkies will blame it on those below them, as always. Everything there was simply a quickly scrumbled mimic of a game. Like the multiplayer, put some random races with random abilities on maps with designs copied from ME3, but forget that there's stuff like jet jumping now.

As for continuation of the series, Shepherd's saga still has a great potential asking to be completed. In the true ending you see Shepherd's hand reaching out of the rubble on Earth, so everything that happened during the ending on the Citadel might have simply been Reaper's making the hero hallucinate, but it failed and the Reapers' control might have been broken. Just go from there, there's an amazing potential asking to be used.

What's going on at EA? Burnout, Dead Space, Mass Effect, 007, Crysis. They've slowly snuffed out every franchise. Ear to ear. Even Dante's Inferno was a one 'n' done.

For Bioware? I do believe so. There's no excuse for how they mailed Andromeda in. They've done a great job with the updates but its too little too late now. They've already pissed off the community with the lack of clarity on story DLC.

Sell the license to a company that will appreciate it. There's so much depth and possibilities with Mass Effect, it would be a blow to gaming to see it fall.

Why can't it just be over? Do we have to call it dead?

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.
