Should BioWare Make Mass Effect 4 Or Another Andromeda?

Which direction do you think is best for BioWare to take the Mass Effect series in?

It's really not as bad as many claim, but still not on the level of any of the original trilogy. I would prefer a current gen remaster of the trilogy over a sequel to Andromeda.

qu1ckset2390d ago

Story was decent, but there was so many lazy things about the game, like all the rehashed enemies just reskinned, al the planets have the exact same objectives for fixing the planet.. I wouldn't mind a sequel if its not a rushed game like andromeda

Mass Effect 4 if anything

However I'd like to see a focus on the RPG elements and not make it much of a full on action shooter, bring back the cool down weapons.

Shepard was breathing in the secret ending of Mass Effect 3 so go with that

Araragifeels 2391d ago

I would love another Mass Effect with Shepard. But I don't know, if Bioware is able to deliver another good game. If they make a sequel, it needs to be more like MA1 or MA2. I don't how can they top the Reapers and give us a nice conclusion.

If they can't make a sequel then they should remastered all 3 games.

-Foxtrot2391d ago

That's the issue, we'd all like more Mass Effect but with how EA are and what they've done to Bioware it's like "be careful what you wish for"

I loved Mass Effect 2 but when they brought in thermal clips and retconned (really badly) the reason why they started using the clips over the cool down weapons I knew where the series was heading. Just came off as any other shooting game in my opinion while the first game despite it's small flaws felt like a proper Sci-Fi game.

I always just assumed the thermal clips would be super rare or high in price to find so if you want to continuously shoot then you can BUT when you run out or toggle them off you'd revert back to cool down. Hell even give us the option on what to use, if you are a soldier class then sure thermal clips would benefit you more but a Vanguard or Biotic would be better with cool downs so they can switch between them and their abilities.

EDKICK2390d ago

I don't think anyone should touch the original trilogy honestly. It's not even fully that I don't trust Bioware anymore, I did like DA:I and Andromeda way more than most. Even if Bioware were to somehow, defy EA and their recent track record and make ME4 one of the best ME games ever I don't know how I feel about forcing a return to Shepard's story nearly a decade later.

For all it's faults, it's disaster of a development cycle and it's unqualified/understaffed team Andromeda did a lot right. It's certainly not so lost that a Bioware back on their game a bit and a reasonable development couldn't turn it around. It's biggest issue honestly would be peoples ignorance and unwillingness to give another Mass Effect Andromeda a chance, I mean they didn't even give the first a chance, the hate train was gone the second the facial animations blew up.

Don't get me wrong in a perfect world getting another game with Shepard or his timeline would be incredible but I think a remaster and another shot at Andromeda is the most realistic way to take the series, if we ever get a real ME game again.

The_Sage2390d ago

I think they could make ME 4. My thinking was it could start at the end of 3 with the crew pulling Shepard out of the light that was coming from the Reaper saying that he was indoctrinated. The whole ending after that would have been in his mind. The battle on earth would be the beginning.

ifrit_caress2390d ago

Bioware should make a Dragon Age game that will not be a "live service" horse crap.

Mass Effect 4's Dialogue Could Take a Page Out of Baldur's Gate 3's Book

Mass Effect 4 has the perfect chance to reintroduce dialogue skills, and Baldur's Gate 3 might be the blueprint BioWare needs.

I'm not so sure they can, most talent that made the old games as good as they were, has left Bioware.

RaidenBlack371d ago

They can always recruit old fellas,
And also, new devs can always learn and also new indie devs are very passionate evident from the amazing indie games heavy with these gameplay features.

Michiel1989371d ago

I don't think anyone would wanna come back after the stories that were told from Anthem development. I just don't see it happening. It's a bit similar to blizz, some of the talent has come back there, but there has been a shift in the studio's culture and also what the higher ups expect/demand of them

After andromeda and veilguard i think it’s assured that the bioware we once knew has gone, I have little hope for me4. Hopefully i’m wrong.

anast371d ago

The can't. But they wouldn't even if they could.

goken371d ago

Yeah… also if pigs decided evolve wings, they could fly…

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.

anast491d ago (Edited 491d 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.

Ristul490d 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.

TricksterArrow490d 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_drake490d ago (Edited 490d 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.

ZeekQuattro490d 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

anast532d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine532d 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.

anast532d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman532d ago

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

anast531d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman531d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
