Do you prefer ANDROMEDA? or Milkyway?

Agreed.

I remember that. Good collection too. But I do think it might be a different scenario here.

Going by the last investors call, Andromeda seems to have done better then what the internet is giving it credit for.  If that is the case I think it proves that whiners on YouTube don't do as much damage as they think to impact a games sales.

Quoting Andrew Wilson during that investors call .  Now I think that means the internet rage probably did impact overall sales, but I think it doesn't mean that Andromeda or future sequels cannot be viable in the market.  Especially if they learn from the mistakes then made with Andromeda.

Re-mastering the trilogy would be a pretty big undertaking.  They'd first have to decide whether to move it all to FB or keep it on Unreal (which would likely require significant changes for newer gen consoles).

I would expect huge changes to the first game, including major modifications to combat (to bring it into alignment with the later games), and probably mako handling (along with planetary terrain).  They might replace some of the heavily repeated mines and outbuildings on planets with differentiated designs.  They would also need to rebuild Pinnacle Station from scratch (it's never been available on PS3 because the source code was lost/corrupted).  That isn't something you'd toss in some bargain bin collection on the cheap.  They might not try to charge the full current price of a new game, but I'd be surprised if they could offer it at a lower price point than $30-$40 range.  That's one game (with its DLC).

What they've done with the trilogy packages thus far is to include some, but not all, of the DLC.  For example, the trilogy package includes Zaeed and LotSB, but not Kasumi, Arrival, or the weapon and appearance packs, and they include none of ME3's DLC.  I purchased the trilogy packages (on both PS3 and PC), and ended up spending far more on DLC than on the original package.  Separate DLC sales is a huge revenue opportunity for them, one that I wouldn't expect them to easily forfeit.

I do think they could do well with a re-master of the trilogy, but perhaps not quite yet.  PS5-6 and XboxTwo/whatever might be better targets.

You are expecting more of a remake than a remaster, remaster is just a couple of filters, a bit of upscaling and resolution, some tweaks on textures and that's it, plus all in game content packed together.

the second is what some people wants, you are just asking for another thing completely.

Well maybe you don't get tired of Fruit Loops, but I'm the kind of guy who can't eat or play the same game with the same setting, with the same cast or even references to them. I wanted something completely different.

There wasn't going to be a sequel to ME3, no matter how much people wanted one, because it was a trilogy.

As for the choices and consequences, those were due to the many previous cycles influence on the Crucible's design. Not everyone believed that destroying the Reapers was the best solution. They had people sabotaging the project in the previous cycle, and I'm quite certain it happened many times in the past. That's why there's all those tacked on consequences. Someone who sabotaged the project obviously didn't like machines or advanced technology, so they made it so the Crucible took away that too.

Mass Effect has always been about making a choice, and living with the consequences, no matter how horrifying or silly they might be. I see that some people don't like the consequences and wish they weren't as hard to swallow, but it simply doesn't work like that.

Security was a bit lax on the project it seems. They didn't keep it as close-knit as possible. I'm sure it doesn't just extend to the Prothean cycle, but even many cycles before had traitors and Reaper agents working secretly on this device to sabotage it. Pretty much impossible to prevent, due to the strength of the Reaper's indoctrination.

As for why the Protheans didn't deploy the Crucible. They were looking for who or what the Catalyst was as the missing piece to the puzzle. I can't remember if they actually started constructing the Crucible or whether they just had the blueprints and were looking for the Catalyst. I just remember the words "we never finished it".

Me too as I have no opinion either but personally I'd prefer Bioware to finish what they started in Andromeda before they moved onto anything else assuming they do continue ME

Nothing wrong with that. Until Bioware/EA confirms that another ME game is being developed, everything is speculation. 

It's similar to what I've been suggesting.  The only difference I see is that you're opting to declare refuse as a cannon ending (making it so that the player is told that Shepard could not have done anything else).  I'm suggesting that the AI comes back to an empty galaxy, but the cause of that is either not specified or is specified to have come after a period of time that Shepard did any one of the choices presented.  I was also suggesting that the vehicle to get the AI back could be Meridian itself since we have no real idea how fast it can travel through space.  The other obvious Relay in Andromeda is the Nexus itself, which according to Cora should have been finished being built by the time Hyperion arrived.  Theoretically then, it would not take them very long to finish it and make it operational after the events of ME:A.
