Did we really/want another Mass Effect game?

Of course. Not one, a series. What would a game universe be without new games?

But first I would like them to finish their patches and bring out some DLC/expansion pack for MEA.

I don't see how the question is relevant. They said they're making a new ME game, people got hyped- whether they should've or not.

For what it's worth it could've been good. Without necessarily condoning or condemning what we did get (in terms of story anyway), it could've been really good.

You know what's crazy????

If they announced tomorrow that they're going to develop MEA-2 but take an approach for a grittier feel and bring in some of the ME trilogy staff.  Then state that they're going to bring in some of the old writers to consult and proof... The hype and anticipation would be near what it was pre MEA.

If you have a PR/Marketing department with a couple of brain cells and a Director worth two craps... you have the hype and can have a game that EVERYONE will get excited and enjoy.

Though, I enjoyed MEA, so, I seriously think a lot of the crap it received was an internet trend coupled with a complete absence of developer interaction with the community; you know, why this board exists...

I did and I couldn't be happier with the results!

Don't mind some people. They always get all pissy pissy when you suggest that andromeda has a lot of flaws.

But yeah, i want a sequel to Andromeda and i want lots of improvements. They're capable of doing it and i wanna see it.

I did. And I want MOAR.

I don't know we, but I know I did. I just couldn't let ME go on Starbrat's terms. And hey, I'm very happy that we got more, because flawed as it may be, I'm enjoying the hell out of this game, and with decent DLCs it could end up my second favourite ME game. So I did want more ME, and still do.

Considering MEA did almost everything better with a story as interesting and wrapped in mystery as ME1, yeah I want more. I would be okay if mass Effect games never stop. I love exploring space and having a third person action RPG shooter with my own ship and space rover

Add in vehicle combat, zero gravity sequences, more dynamic npcs, a little better story, and good conclusions to side quests and you have possibly the best mass Effect game objectively.

MEA, objectivity, is the most well rounded stand alone game offering something for everyone (post patches).

Yep, as critical as I am about the art direction (specifically character models and animations) in ME:A, I want an ME:A2, or an ME4, or something else in the ME universe.

I think at the end of the day, some people will always buy an ME game. Its the only franchise offering space opera-ish rpg atm with the bonus bioware style. Until ofcourse another studio offers remotely the same thing. Even disappointed people like me will buy it hoping that the next one will be better. This year is pretty barren for me and MEA was the only game I was looking forward to, and because I don't own a console anymore I cant have the likes of HZD or Zelda. But after my experience with MEA, I hope that the next game would be another personal droubt for me to pay the 100% price tag.

If they are going to have the same forgettable companions, doormat Ryders, and the same poorly written story/characters then no.

I'm curious why you say there was nothing to tie up the Milky Way and have resolution there....?  Didn't... didn't you play Mass Effect 3?  That's what the entire game is.  We have resolution in the Milky Way.  Why do we need to find out again in Andromeda?  I played ME3 and chose to destroy the Reapers.  The Extended Cut slide show tells me everything I need to know about the reconstruction effort and what happens next.  Shepard even survived.  Why would I need them to just say this randomly in Andromeda?  Every race is now several centuries more advanced now, probably delayed some due to the massive reconstruction projects on the planets.  There is no "spectre" of what happened in the Milky way.  We know, based on whatever ending we chose.  Why in the world do we need Bioware to canonize one ending we possibly didn't choose?  

Also, it wouldn't take that long to contact the Milky Way with the QEC or Quantum Entanglement Communication.  Andromeda even says they tried to contact the Milky Way but received no answers. Presumably because wherever they had a connection to before, be it the Citadel, Arcturus Station etc. is no longer there.  The Citadel was severly damaged so if they had a QEC line to a location there, that location probably was destroyed and replaced with new equipment.
