Curious about the complaints surrounding Andromeda.

Very well put. Plus I remember long before launch, pretty much from day 0 fans were going, "they better have (insert race) or all hell breaks loose!" The hypocrisy on this site is second to none.

From what I see, there are 2 people arguing... BOTH are guilty of provoking each other and you either chastising ALL of us with your foul language or now just chastising one of the 2 people involved.  I'm no longer wanting to participate further in this discussion, so I am leaving this thread.  That is my prerogative.

Yeah. I was only chastising two people. Alrighty then, I'm not forcing anyone to stay on this thread.

I've only dealt with him a few times and he was fine, though I don't read too deep into vid comments too much. I can see why some folk could get into some dicey clashes with him, and that's fair enough if folk don't like him for it, or are put off from watching/listening him. Like I said though, he's not been the same for a while. His ME2/3 material was borderline godly, made me pay much more attention to movies/games I see.

I don't think it would take a huge amount of more time for such a group to help keep things straight, they'd need engaged from the get go of course. Though I don't see such a thing ever being implemented without a big change in the creative process and culture. Directors, writers and the like are told "no" on their ideas on a few fronts as it is, a group of lore geeks telling them they can't do x because of how y is explained in the codex isn't likely to go down well with them. Even if that specific idea couldn't be brought in, I would like to see something else brought in that would help new plot/tech be a bit more robust up against the stuff that has already been created in the universe.

Sounds really pleasant......

I can TOTALLY understand the Manveer Heir hate. He's one of few instances I would actually use the word "SJW". He went to Rev3games saying, "We need equality in games!", then you look at his twitter feed and he's just making racist statements about white people.

and you are the first one to comment on it.

Tell that to Berserk fans. Lol

It's stuff like this that makes me glad I stayed away from anything Andromeda related until the trial. I had no idea what to expect, had no preconceptions about characters, and knew nothing about any controversial lead-up to release. I wasn't sure if I was going to buy the game, so I played the trial and pre-ordered the deluxe edition. So imagine my surprise when I went to forums and saw all the memes. I literally had a, "Was it that bad?" moment. No, it wasn't that bad, but the lead-up was so full of speculation and interest in people like this Heir guy that, if I'd been paying attention, I probably would have guessed that the reception was going to be negative.

When it comes to any upcoming games that I'm even remotely interested in. I keep myself blissfully ignorant, I still keep in mind when the game is going to be released but I make sure not to get myself excited for a game until it is released. I did this even with No Man's Sky, which I felt had an even bigger shitshow compared to Andromeda. (I had NMS on my PC but had to sell it because it wouldn't even work, might consider rebuying it when it's on sale because I got a new graphics card.)

Actually the point is not when we shall get the next manga, its more when the sory will end...
