Mass Effect: Andromeda News | Hope For DLC?, Sales Figures, Novels, Reyes Background Details & More!

More like by the end of this month. Historically it's always been five months until the first DLC is out. 

For me I'm now at the stage wher if it happens it happens and if i tdosen't I'll move onto the other games I'm interested in. I'm kind of past the point now of caring too much.

DLC then wasn't as mainstream as it is now. I would say that gamers even hated the idea of dlc. Now it's season passes that they hate--times change. Though BioWare was under a different publisher, but yea. I'm curious what kind of support ME1 would have gotten if it were to release today.

I didn't want to use ME:1 because it was only released on one platform Xbox 360.  Then they ported it to the PC in 2008 and gave you BDTS free with the release of the PC version.  So who knows what effect porting the game had on DLC release.

Many of us did, including me, but that was when the comic and book releases hadn't also been pushed back. Now that they have, the timeframe for DLC moves with them. If there is no DLC with those, then I think there won't be one.

And yet this is seemingly a hard concept for people to grasp.

1) The first DLC normally comes at the 5 month mark after release and NEVER after. That 5 month mark is about 2 weeks away.

2) NO videogame to my knowledge that was AAA has ever recieved its first SP DLC a year later.

3) N7 day makes no logical sense. That is EIGHT MONTHS after release for a game that got low review scores, became an internet laughing stock, its studio merged with another studio that has other focuses etc.

At this point people are following hope/emotion rather than logic. The early months after a games launch is always the sweet spot to release DLC as the games popularity/sales/player base tends to decline from the pre launch hype. Considering the reception of MEA (which people here acts like it never happened or doesnt matter), I doubt there is still a strong and vibrant player base. I mean use your brains people, N7 day is around the time Battlefront, Call of Duty and many of the other holiday heavy hitters release.

Mass Effect Andromeda was a critical failure and really damaged the ME brand, where it was supposed to close the wounds left by the ME3 ending. MEA was a "pilot" to see if the bad taste from ME3 can be fixed and yet the fire got larger and speaded.

MEA out side of MP is DEAD. Stop moving the goal post and just use logic. Kotaku wad right, just swallow your pride and accept it.

I'd wager the future of the IP depends on Anthem.  If Anthem is a huge hit it may be the end of ME since EA/BW will want to invest in the new hotness.  If Anthem bombs or is only moderately successful they might give ME another good look to see what can be done with it.

OK, it's "DEAD".  You may leave...


I mean, "Mission Accomplished", right?  Why stick around since this was the only reason you seem to be here?  You don't enjoy the game, you don't like discussing the positive aspects of it- oh, wait, there are none!, I forgot - nor the potential of it.  

This isn't an official BioWare board or anything so it's not like you are "talking to the developers" - just fans of the game - so you are spending a the great majority of your time essentially attempting to convince people who enjoyed the game to not enjoy the game they already enjoyed.  

I enjoyed the game a lot and hope there is SP DLC because I want to continue the story but if there isn't so be it.  What pride has to be swallowed in this case?  

Yup. Could have been solid gold and it wouldn't have made a difference.

If it was solid gold we wouldnt be debating if there will be DLC but when.

Seriously, you all act like there is some wide conspiracy to take down the game. Yes, there are those who want to see Bioware burn, but have you considered that people just didnt take up MEA the same way you did and simply didnt like the game and felt it was trash?


I how about we look at the failure of Bioware instead of external sources. It is sort of like Trump blaming the media for everything.

Here's the thing, most critics see it (at release version mind) as a 7.5 or so, and I suspect we would be verging on 8's or higher if it had been version 1.10 at release.

Yet you call it trash, which kind of reinforces my point.
