EA Boss Says Mass Effect: Andromeda Got Too Much Criticism, Franchise Could Return

I think If they polished it more, it would've got a higher reception.

Many people feel the same way about Andromeda - I'm just saying, if you can so freely call the ending fucked up, realize that the same applies to Andromeda as a whole.

It's my view that many people didn't give Andromeda a fair shake simply because of the damage done to the IP by the ending to ME3. But I labor the point.

As compared to MEA?

One can say, they looked on the problems of ME3 and built on them. Such as uninterruptable cinematics. They also took the worst of DAI and worsened it. Such as largely unreactive open worlds, making them even more unreactive and empty. They also carried fetch quests to a whole new level, spanning over several dull locations.

The created a game giving the illusion of providing hundreds of hours of entertainment when in truth it's only a dull repetition of what has been done before. This game would have been better served if it followed the trilogy in providing 30 to 40 hours of original content.

No you didn't, hence we had our discussions.

To you. To me Kadara is the worst in MEA, but I like all other planets better than any zone in DAI. Different tastes...

I enjoyed Kadara. It was a very alien landscape for the most part.

Those doors might be my most hated thing in any Bioware game ever! 

Hissing Wastes is excellent. It has, at least for me, one of the best quests, Tomb of Fairel.

Kadara? It was ok.

Hissing Wastes have their moments. But there's a lot of legwork involved to get to them. Over lots of empty space.

Perhaps the biggest gaping plothole in the whole game. None of the golden worlds panned out. Except for the exiles who are doing quite well on all of them. So what do we need the pathfinder for? To operate the deus ex machina, of course.
