^ Shitty ME3 endings. People were primed to hate anything ME from that point on. Your comment makes no sense considering that a lot a people on the old forums were saying that the ending "Haters" were just a vocal minority. They were saying that about ME:A also. How is a minority destroying a game with hate then? Is it really that hard to believe that a lot of people liked the game but still felt there was a lot of cons to its fit and finish? To me it sounds like people just want to point the finger away from the real issues. This most likely could have been resolved by waiting until the patch work had finished the game before release.

I was there when the BW forums imploded. The ending haters were far from a minority. I'm not saying MEA had no other issues, but the ME3 endings cast a long shadow.

I have no doubt they cast a shadow. I wasn't as critical as others over them but understand others hesitation with ME:A. I was also there when it imploded but many a "Pro-Enders" considered the "Haters" nothing more than a vocal minority and took every chance they had to rub it in.

The same thing will happen with Anthem, people will look back at how EA/BW treated Andro and react as they will. They will remember bad service and poor products and apply that experience to future products. Multiple chances @ $60/pop gets expensive after a while.

Indeed Iwas never interested in Anthem but the treatment MEA has received has given me an extra reason to not get it if anything. I'll still get DA4 though but I just hope it won't get shafted like MEA did.

Im extremely Sad Bioware to me the last few games has kinda lost its luster Games like KOTOR, DAO, Mass effect 1 these games pulled me in like fucking crack I had to know what was going to happen next I sunk THOUSANDS of hours into these When Bioware was releasing a game I would say its a Bioware game its going to be fucking AMAZING. Mass effect 2 comes great game continues this amazing Space opera has me droooling for more but then DA2 and Mass Effect 3 come and Im upset with both games Da2 Still had a good story and I liked some points of it I was a little sad about the new art style it was cool but didnt feel Dragon age but I still wanted more after finishing the game I still wanted to see the next Dragon age and see what happens in this amazing world. Mass effect 3 I have such a love hate relationship with I loved the core play of the game but the story as many of you I was looking forward to that big showdown with harbinger this big culmination of two games worth of ups and downs my heart skipping beats Instead of this amazing grand ending it ends in a puff of smoke this is where my heart started to hurt. Dragon age inquisition comes along Loved the story and the base aspect and charters but the world just seemed too big and for all the stunning visuals of some areas they seemed bland and didnt connect with the story the only thing that pulled me in where those big missions like the wardens keep and fade red cliff castle in the future And then Mass effect Andromeda comes my hype train is big surly bio ware has learned but sadly the game held no love for me unable to finish the ice planet because I felt no connection with Ryder with the world with the story. I hope for anthem and DA4 Bioware finds its soul again finds that IT factor that makes us not want to put down a controller because we need to know what happens whats next the next great moment that will tear at our heartstrings and leave us with our mouths open please Bioware find your soul again

I'm sorry, as they should have known better, there's no Mass Effect without Quarians, Geth, Vorcha, Volus and Drell. This turned out to be a half-assed ME, with a meh antagonist, boring characters, and boring side missions. I never thought I'd say this, but really miss that #artisticintegrity from 5 years ago.

Bummer.
Not unexpected, but too bad, all the same. As a whole, I think much of the hate the game got was overblown. Was it a good game? Not really, no. But it was still fun and I don't really regret buying it. It really wasn't any worse than DAI which I also... thought was sorta mediocre but still fun enough.
At the same time, Mass Effect was probably THE RPG that turned me on to Western RPGs and holds an incredibly fond place in my heart, the original trilogy (yes! Even 3! I admit it!) remains some of my favorite games. This whole thing with MEA has been... sad. Disappointing. Really, between DAI and MEA, my general excitement for Bioware releases has cooled considerably.
I don't hate open world games, but the way BW approaches them is really not my favorite. I'd much rather have limited maps that have substance and a reason to exist than a whole lot of pointless map space and bullshit fetch quests. Like really, I know it's partially my fault that I'm a glutton for punishment and completionism but holy heck. Doing the quests in MEA and DAI felt like a horrible chore. It felt like punishment. That I paid money for.
There's a certain charm and soul to BW games that I feel the push for open world really made it lose, and nothing makes me go flaccid faster than the word "multiplayer", so I, personally, am not super excited for Anthem. I'm still... tentatively keeping an open mind about DA4 but I am feeling a bit burned by this whole thing. If it isn't a damned good game, it will probably the last chance I'm willing to give BW. I don't have enough free time to spend on "sorta mediocre but fun enough" games when there's plenty else to buy and play, and my nostalgia goggles aren't on so tight that I'm willing to blindly buy anything a studio puts out due to some vain hope that they'll suddenly recapture what made their past successes great.

While I liked ME:A for the most part I agree with the bolded completely. Most of the quest just felt like filler to pad the game for both DA:I and ME:A. To this day I've yet to finish a play through on DA:I. ME2 and ME3 felt a lot better in that regard.

I've yet to start a second playthrough of DAI because the thought of going through the gods-be-damned early-game Hinterlands just kills any excitement and buzz I have about the game. Not even my boundless love for Dorian can haul me past my bottomless loathing of the Hinterlands. At least in MEA you aren't really gated from the story if you skip large chunks of sidequests, but in DAI, if I remember correctly, you actually did have to put forth some effort in completing sidequests in order to gain army renown or w/e they called it to advance the story. Hooray! Bears.

People hated it and wanted to destroy it before it was even released. Because no Shepard herr derr. :contempt: I can't help but think its SJW reputation (deserved or not) had a lot to do with it. Then those people can't be reasoned with, and are probably hypocrites.

I hope they take out the bold part for DA4. HAHA Truths! Like if they had done more with the whole army aspect of DAI it could've been an incredibly interesting concept. I think I was expecting a bit more of a (old and sorta obscure? JRPG reference incoming) Suikoden approach to whole army and agent recruitment thing that DAI had going on, where the people you recruit (and by extension, the sidequests you complete) actually have some impact on the story and the world itself. I remember it was teased in a early trailer and then I guess they ran out of time and ultimately scrapped it, but aside from a few major plot points, the Inquisition as a whole was just sorta... there. Sure, you completed sidquests. In theory, you made a difference. But these agents you recruit show up at your castle briefly, give you a line of dialogue, and... nothing. Nothing! And the stronghold things?? I remember being really confused after going through an incredibly difficult fight to liberate a stronghold and thinking. That's it? There's no impact on story whatsoever? No over-arching consequences of liberating this huge tower full of bandits/demons/ancient evil trapped in a time bubble? I loved the idea of making planets livable in MEA. I completed all the vaults and sidequests by the end of my second playthrough in MEA, and I genuinely enjoyed the architect fights (sorta wished there were more ngl >>). But getting 100% habitability in MEA was ultimately sorta...? Anticlimactic? Not sure what I expected, to be honest. Maybe a bit more fanfare after having hauled my ass through a million and three pointless fetch quests as Andromeda's most overqualified errand boy. Maybe more fetch quests. I don't know. Something more than what I got, hahaha. DAI and MEA as a whole had a lot of interesting concepts that I really don't think they made the most of. With what existed, they could have been great games, but the execution as a whole ultimately came up rather short. It's like they have all these cool ideas but they don't build on them? But if that's the case, why include them at all? Anyways, this is unnecessarily verbose and rambling HAHA.

I'll admit to having somewhat mixed feelings about this but not particularly strong ones either way. So full disclosure after youtubing most of MEA I did end up buying it when it was 50% off during E3. Figured that was a fair price for a generally alright gaming experience. I'm above all fairly surprised that Hudson oked this decision after taking over since ME is his brainchild. Also feel a tiny bit of vindication that Andromeda ended up failing after the whole ME3 thing. Some clarification here, I am a well documented ME3 grump, no I don't think ME3 is solely responsible for Andromeda troubles, I do however believe that ME3 killing the franchise's momentum did set certain expectations for Andromeda, ones it ended up falling short off, meaning that a game which was relatively average ended up with a somewhat disproportionate negative reaction due to relatively minor issues like poor animation. I am also somewhat disappointed since part of my decision to purchase was based on the quarian DLC hook. I was looking forward to seeing how interaction with the species might change now that the geth had been take out of the equation. Forgive me Grey. I couldn't help myself

I can't help but think its SJW reputation (deserved or not) had a lot to do with it. Then those people can't be reasoned with, and are probably hypocrites.Kinda sounds like some on the BSN complaining about Jason Schreier defending his credibility right?

Gotta be honest, kinda relieved I'm not being asked to spend more money on this game. Frankly, I'd be happy with a blog post or a wiki article just to answer the clif hangers.
Beyond that, Bioware's games are no longer day 1 purchases. Now I'll only get them significantly post launch, after the community has weighed in on their value and for a deep discount.

I'm on holiday right now so I don't have time to read this thread and the BSN reaction to this news but I've only just found out about it, and overall, I'm devastated about where Mass Effect Andromeda has left the future of this IP
