can we just get this for $10 already

OldGuyStillGaming3217d ago

Even if it was $10 I doubt you'd buy it

txboy053217d ago

I would if it was $10. Any AAA game to me is worth at least $10 just because of the amount of work put into it.

AspiringProGenji3217d ago

It was around $20 in the last PSN sales. I almost grabbed it, but I dunno how much the game has been fixed. Give it a couple more months.

OldGuyStillGaming3217d ago

It's been playable and fine since the first few patches
The characters faces aren't the best but the gameplay and graphics are worth the play through

--Onilink--3217d ago

bought it in the last sale, definitely cannot see why there is SO MUCH hate for it. Is it better or equal to past ME games? nope. Is it a decent AAA game? sure.

Its not as polished in most areas as previous ME games and the story suffers because of the absurd amount of side quests the game has, they do have interesting narratives for the most part, but there are just way too many so unless you purposefully ignore a lot of side quests, the main story/enemy feels like an afterthought during regular playtime (though it can be interesting)

The animations are decent in most cases, with some outliers and some eyes that move way too much, but nothing really terrible (i played with male ryder).

Combat is definitely an improvement over other ME games, but I wish they would have changed one of the open world planets for an on-foot only one (so far i've only seen once and im almost done with the game).

Its very much a DA Inquisition type of ME, but still retains a lot of what made the ME universe good. I'd give it a solid 8.0 right now

FlameWater3217d ago (Edited 3217d ago )

they would have to pay me to play this sjw garbage

Sam Fisher3216d ago

Im not one to say this, but this game made it clear that it was lgbt 🏳️‍🌈. I mean they pushed it alot in this game, shouldve just made the boxart have a rainbow 🌈 in the background

Artemidorus3217d ago

It's EA, you know why you wait.

DivoJones3216d ago

It WAS $20 a few weeks ago.. and despite what you've read, it's worth that. Had a pretty good time with it.

Perjoss3216d ago

Life is precious, why waste it playing average games when there are so many GOOD ones out there.

Sam Fisher3216d ago

You to play the shitty ones in order to appreciate the great ones

I'm having a good time with game. It's by no means the Mass Effect we deserved (that will always be Mass Effect 2 for me) but in terms of "going through the motions" I don't mind ticking off the quest list on this one.

Nesflix3217d ago

Honest question ... should I buy this on PC? Simple answer required, please.

InKnight7s3217d ago

I never really played ME, well if you dont count intro of ME3. But dont set high par as Witcher 3 or Horizon etc. But its good game to have fun.

kevnb3217d ago

It will probably be added to ea access soon I bet.

3217d ago
CrimzonRazor3217d ago

If you can get it under 30 then yes

Razzer3217d ago

I'm over 80 hours in. Yes, you should buy this game. It is really good.

DivineAssault 3217d ago (Edited 3217d ago )

The only way i get this game is if its in a bargain bin or dirt cheap.. I refuse to support companies that half ass their work. Have the faces even been fixed yet?

OldGuyStillGaming3217d ago

They still look odd
I kinda wish they just kept the helmets on all the time and would only see their eyes

eddvdm3217d ago

I have to agree with you because if this was a huge success (which anything near the ME trilogy could have achieved) as it is they would just keep doing it for the next games.

Anyways, the series is dead to me, they really ruined it this time, and I'm not even putting the weird faces and animations at the top of the list.

DoubleTTB223217d ago

The faces were fixed about a month after release.

DJStotty3216d ago

to be honest with you i dont buy/play a game dependant on whether the facial expressions are good.

DivineAssault 3216d ago

Its not just the faces though dude.. The game all around wasnt too good.. Combine that with ugly mugs the whole time and some people wont have a good time with it. I really enjoyed the original trilogy..

DJStotty3216d ago

Personal opinion whether it was good or not, i thought it was a decent entry into the new galaxy.

i had no issues with the game but once again its personal opinion. If you dont like a game dont play it. But no one should try and project their opinions on other people and try to destroy a franchise.

My stance is try a game, if you dont like it, trade it in, simple

DJStotty3216d ago (Edited 3216d ago )

You made 2 conflicting comments. You first said you "would only get this game if its in the bargain bin" suggesting you havent played it. And then said "the game all around wasnt good" suggesting you already own it. EA/Activision put pressure on developers to hit a release date, so developers will cut corners to hit it.

If you dont want to support these companies thats your personal choice, but dont try to push your personal choice onto others.

My advice on any game would be try it, if you like it fine, if you dont thats fine also

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.

anast489d ago (Edited 489d 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.

Ristul489d 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.

TricksterArrow488d 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_drake488d ago (Edited 488d 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.

ZeekQuattro488d 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!

IAMRealHooman530d ago

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

anast530d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine530d 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.

anast530d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman530d ago

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

anast530d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman529d 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.

thorstein565d 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.

LordoftheCritics565d ago (Edited 565d 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.

XBManiac565d ago

Veilguard has better graphics.

neutralgamer1992565d 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.

OtterX565d 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.

H9565d 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

TheNamelessOne565d 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.

anast565d ago

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

TheNamelessOne565d ago

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

raWfodog565d 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.

lellkay565d ago

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

pwnmaster3000565d ago (Edited 565d 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.

Armaggedon565d ago

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

MatrixxGT565d ago

Wow, two worlds…red ringed my 360.

Armaggedon565d 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.

matt139565d ago

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

thorstein565d ago

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