How well is MEA selling?

We'll know once EA has their next quarterly financial statement.

Is very early to have a feedback. Probably the 29th we will know more about that. The only thing i could find was that:

Amen to that brother!. Here's hoping.

Sure, that's what we need, the only RPG with choices of protagonist and a squad in the last many years to fail, so that the companies lean their lesson. MOAR sports and mobile games! No more RPG stuff, it's too risky of an investment. If you decide to go for one, make sure it's a a fixed protagonist and a transcript of a popular novel. Preferably verbatim. Yep, we are all going be so happy with this outcome.

I know right? Is it fair to those who love this game and want more? The loudest voice isn't always going to get heard, despite how big that group thinks they are.

Don't ruin what it is for those who enjoy it.

 I feel ya!

I would have died from laughter at that! LOL And OMG the amount of times I fell through the map in TW3 was more than DAI!

And yeah MEA just came out 4 days ago. By the end of the year we'll have DLC and patches and new CC, and we are also getting some free stuff in May if you bought the Deluxe or Super Deluxe.

You do realize that if this game doesn't do well, then that would only decrease the quality of their next game right? They would receive less confidence that their next game will do well; therefore, have a lower budget thus lower resources to make a great game.
If it's about learning their lesson, then instead of these "I hope Andromeda fails so hard" and all these other doom and gloom comments, what people should be doing is offering constructive feedback that they could actually use to make the game better.
Just my 2 cents.

It is because I believe Bioware can do better and I've not given up on them yet, a failure is much more teaching than an apparent success like DA:I. So they gave us DA:I in space with fewer of the strengths of that game and Bioware's strengths in general.

The only common thing form ME:A and NMS is the need of the developers to stretch the game as much as possible with as little as possible, this is how I feel about this. The right components are there, the combat system is good, but everything feels half baked like a beta of a mod worked on for a year and not an AAA game that has been worked on for 5 years.

Yeah this game flopping would be bad for Bioware and future titles. I wouldn't mind if it didn't do all that great as long as it makes money. Coz I think if it makes money EA will be happy enough to fund the next one. 

Except that Andromeda is a higher quality game objectively than DA 2 and ME2, both of which were limited in scope and criticized for it. I loved them, but BioWare always tries for extras, and it did so in Andromeda. they actually balanced a lot off elements well in Andromeda as far as I can see while da2and me 2 were lopsided.

I'll agree on believing they could do better, I was just curious why you wished they flopped.

moving on though I honestly don't see why Andromeda is called inquisition in space, dragon age wasn't about exploration, it's combat system and mechanics are completely different as well, of course guns will do that, but even just the abilities differ quite a bit too. Personally the only similarities are sharing the same engine, and being open world-esq but Andromeda encourages it where as DA:I it really wasn't a focal point.

quite honestly I think mass effect fits better in the direction of "dragon age in space" if that's what people want to call it (I'd rather have DA go back to how origins started franchise). Reason being there really isn't many triple A games out there that focus on the space setting with exploration being the main focus. Andromeda doesn't focus on saving the universe either which is a welcome addition to the story as I'm tired of games using a hero to save the world over and over. I wish andromeda didn't have questionable characters and a so-so story with that exploration but maybe that can improve, plus on a technical level Andromeda is full of bugs, I don't excuse it but quite honestly so many games these days launch bug heavy and have day one patches.

The game is huge whether people see it or not. The worlds look beautiful for as big as they are, the combat system is at its best to date (wish we had more than three abilities though), the dialogue is extremely heavy, far more than multiple movies combined (and yes even then some of the dialogue is questionable/make no sense). My issue is how the game goes about character reactions being underwhelming at times, animations being wonky, bad character creator, unfriendly UI, various bugs, awful multiplayer servers (it's unplayable for me due to extreme lag, I didn't have near as much trouble in ME3s multiplayer), and I could go on but I don't see the need to bore you.

I agree in the end it could've been better, but I'm optimistic on the direction they're taking and I think it'll only get better as they gather experience (it was a rookie team essentially that made this game, and it does show but I can also see they put in the work even with its flaws) and now they have feedback on where to take the next step of the mass effect franchise.
