www.masseffect.com/news/mass-effect-andromeda-update-from-the-studioWhat is this? Would you mind explaining this? Because from what i can tell, its the sound of my hopes being DESTROYED. "we will continue to tell stories in the Andromeda Galaxy through our upcoming comics and novels, including the fate of the quarian ark." You've officially crushed your last holdout Bioware. I had ONE last hope that maybe an act of God would occur in your studio and we'd get to go on one more escapade to save my favorite Alien race in all of SciFi. But then i find out youre leaving it to third party literature to do the job for you. This is like instead of helping me hook up with my childhood dream girl you just slipped me a twenty and said to go find someone cheap off the street. I think this settles the question of whether im leaving ME:A installed on my Console now. Thanks for the ride I guess.

Old news by now, but yeah - they chose to completely pull the game's life support six months in, a little bit more now, shows the ridiculous commitment to this game, thing that comes from development as well. I still don't see the need to uninstall it it, tho. I like to have the saga ready to play.

It's the right choice. They won't waste resources on this awful game, and those fans that think Andromeda has """potential""" (hahaha) and want to know what happens will get their answers
It's good for everyone!

We've all done our grieving for the DLC a couple of months ago, and it was harsh/sad/undeserved move by EA/Bio. Alas, there is nothing for it, we are not getting our DLC.

Can’t see how it’s good for everyone. All’s I can say is fuck novels and comics when they take away from narratives that should’ve been better included in the game. I think Inquisition handled WEWH ok enough, but Kai Leng was literally out of nowhere and meant little in the story when he should’ve been a meaningful character somehow introduced in 2.

If fans want to know the continuation of this terrible game, they can do so by comics while Bioware uses resources on better games, hopefully. Inquisition and Mass Effect 2/3 could have gotten these stories, sure, because they are good games, and worth of having more content

Books like Uprising would still exist as a quick way to go forward in the game.

First there will be denial...then anger, humor and finally sorrow. You'll go to a bar and there you will meet a girl: she will be beautiful, and comforting, and the two of you will fall in love, and life will be good, for a time. Then marriage will come, and kids, and monotony and debts...and bit by bit they'll take everything from you. Then twenty years from now, you'll be sitting alone in front of TV, holding a remote and your dick in your hands, feeling empty and wondering where did it all went wrong? And then you'll remember it all began with that cancelled DLC. #SavetheQuarians

They should be completely ignored and hopefully Bioware will get better games in the future. They aren't doing these books as a "quick way to go forward in the game", despite having revealed some backgrounds only in books on other games. They are doing because they saw how the game was terrible, most people hated it, and it wasn't worth continuing. Hopefully they'll learn their lesson, abandon most of the characters (hopefully even Ryder) and start a good Mass Effect.

Have you ever heard of learning from your mistakes? Acting on good faith? DA2 was a massive shit storm and it got dlc that showed the devs knew what they did wrong. They didn't shove additional content into books then and doing so now is just putting salt in the wounds for those of us who liked the game enough to want DLC. I will never buy books for bioware games I want to play and explore the worlds they create not read about them.

I will never buy books for bioware games I want to play and explore the worlds they create not read about them. Yes, I am arguing. DA2 was nowhere as bad as Mass Effect Andromeda. The big problem with DA2 was if it was made too quickly (which was pretty clear on the game: Repeated scenarios, only one city, can't change companions' armor, even the achievements were lazy). It was released 2 years after the first game (which had like 5 years of development), so of course some better work on it could save it. Yes, I think Bioware should learn from their mistakes, but they should do so, in this case, on the next game. There's no saving Andromeda. A DLC won't make your companions to suck less, won't make Ryder more interesting (unless they suddenly decide we can be Renegade, which would be weird), and it won't make the combat more interesting either. DA2 lacked content, that was its' main problem. Andromeda had a lot of content and it had development time. The big problem is it sucks to the core. To really learn from their mistakes they would have to create a whole different game in this DLC, which is just not possible.

Andromeda was a great game, and would have benefited from additional content. Haters gonna hate.

Yeah, I actually hate bad games. What it's funny is that you think I hate the game because "it's great" when pretty much even Bioware admited it sucks when they abandoned it. The game is so "great" that its' own creator abandoned it beyong redemption, LOL. But of course, if you think the game sucks "You're a troll! I'll tell mommy!". Seriously, you think Mass Effect 2 is the worst game and Mass Effect: Andromeda is the best. If there is any troll here, that's you. Fans like you are what ruined Mass Effect, because you praise lazy work.

I was referring to you hating posters who dare to have a different opinion than you, which this post proves my point brilliantly so thank you for that. I never said MEA is the best. In my opinion MEA is the second best, with ME3 as the best. I do think ME2 is easily the worst though.

I didn't say ME2 is the worst, I say you think it is, which proves your bad tasting when it comes to gaming. ME2 is the kind of game that sets standards. Every game Bioware releases, people ask "Will there be a mission like the Suicide Mission?" ME:A will do the same, but on the bad side. Every bad game Bioware releases from now on, people will ask "Is it as bad as Mass Effect Andromeda?" And I don't hate you, really. I just find your affirmations laughable and I'm glad Bioware didn't listen to you and abandoned the game.

Post subject was primed for trollish responses and it didn't disappoint.

MEA isn't a bad game as such. But I did find it to be quite mediocre. And I care little one way or the other that there will be no DLC.

DLC would have had more audience than comics or novels would. Most folks still interested would just read synapsis somewhere to find out what happened. DLC would have been nicer, because you can play through it with your character. Plus, it would have added at a minimum Quarian models to the MEAMP, maybe even new maps.
Just because something was scrapped does not mean it won't be eventually re-worked and re-integrated in the follow up games. Exalted March ended up in DA3. KOTOR3 plot got integrated in SWTOR. The game they shut down completely is probably used in making of Anthem.
Chances are we'll see some elements of what was planned for the DLC elsewhere.

www.masseffect.com/news/mass-effect-andromeda-update-from-the-studioWhat is this? Would you mind explaining this? Because from what i can tell, its the sound of my hopes being DESTROYED. "we will continue to tell stories in the Andromeda Galaxy through our upcoming comics and novels, including the fate of the quarian ark." You've officially crushed your last holdout Bioware. I had ONE last hope that maybe an act of God would occur in your studio and we'd get to go on one more escapade to save my favorite Alien race in all of SciFi. But then i find out youre leaving it to third party literature to do the job for you. This is like instead of helping me hook up with my childhood dream girl you just slipped me a twenty and said to go find someone cheap off the street. I think this settles the question of whether im leaving ME:A installed on my Console now. Thanks for the ride I guess. I'm going to spoil the story for you. Palpatine orders the asari clones to kill all the quarians with Order 66.
Perhaps you will be treated to something as good as ME:Deception. Fingers crossed, buddy.
