Article: Mass Effect fans feel abandoned by BIoWare after Anthem reveal

Abandoned? no, no my feelings left this franchise after ME3. When it came to ME I was an empty shell of a person after that, and in many ways I still am. I am not over it, and I likely never will be completely. Ever since ME3, I've found myself unable to truly *love* any game or franchise on any meaningful level, too afraid of being so emotionally destroyed again. I truly cannot articulate just how much I loved ME, KOTOR/Jade Empire was my first True Love of games, but when ME came along, it changed everything for me. It remains the only game I've ever bought merchandise for, and likely will be the only game. When I saw Anthem, all I thought about was "Oh look, a Division clone, just what I expected." I even begin to doubt Bethesda a bit, after Fallout 4. I am rapidly running out of games that I enjoy, and THAT is makes me sad. It's not just a Bioware problem really, all my favorite Devs seem to be straying away from what I love to play. I can't rely on CDProject, because 1 game every 7 years just isn't good enough. Dragon Age is my only remaining hope. Inquisition dared to give me a bit more faith in that IP, the IP I had almost written off after DA2. If DA4 fails, for me personally, I just don't know what to do anymore. I fee like I'm out of options. I've been playing genres of games I would have never considered in years past, like Sports games, more FPS games, things I had pretty much moved on from after childhood. I can't even buy new RTS games because my PC can't run new games, and I sure as heck can't afford upgrades, or a new PC. RPGs are my passion, my love, and I feel them by and large slipping away little by little.

I'm not worried. Despite this little slip up ME has the potential for some major cash flow. I don't see it disappearing. Just needs some solid leadership and a little less ambition. Having multiple studios means you can  move people around when development needs extra hands. 

MP guy or not, based on a tweet by Fernando Melo earlier, I think a DLC is on its way.

Someone asked if we'd get info post patching phase and he said:

spoilers! (or rather, when we can talk about it we will)

He was also taking about romances besides MP, and he's a producer, so...

He’s gonna string you along for as long as possible with small patches to keep spending money on multiplayer.  If this game had no multiplayer it would be over - you should actually be thankful that multiplayer exists and go buy some Andromeda packs to support the team!

lol I'm sorry. Just gotta say I'm liking your posts because I love the memes!

You mean this?

Not MP related, but curious anyway: Do you know of any plans to give full romance scenes to those without them? Vetra, Liam, Reyes, etc...

@user That's a pretty significant undertaking. Wouldn't be something we could do for all (or would want t, for some characters) - maybe future :/

I wouldn't be surprised if in later patches animation issues were fixed. Jaal was a unique circumstance. Most other improvements would have to be in DLC really. 

Is that why I have a small pic of two dudes where the heart would be for romance options now?  Jaal is the only one I've seen that on.

That was for Sara only and now Scott has it too, so he can romance Jaal. Choose it 3 times and he'll ask to be a couple when you complete his LM. After you save the Moshae, then you can use the Heart. It's always been that way for Sara.

So the reason they're announcing Anthem now is to distract us from ME:A? That's silly.
