I can't play Andromeda

I usually send Miranda down the center to distract those enemies and then swing way right.  I have to take out a varren and usually one vorcha before getting to the door.  Since I generally pick stasis as a bonus power, regardless of class, it's usually just a matter of hitting the button, putting one enemy into stasis that's still behind the point where the door comes down, reviving Miranda, and then fighting my way forward from behind them to exit.

I...can't drive...55!

ME3 did shooting better. Both are easy on insanity. Using your logic you just suck at ME3 I guess.

Hooooo boah.

Would you fellers look at this.

Arguing two years later 'cos a troll decided to post.

And the most shocking part is, you didn't even tell me while I could have had popcorn.

I'm long retired so I don't have to sneak in personal gaming stuff into breaks at work anymore, not that it is relevant to what I was saying.  When on a forum... rather than complain about games you don't like at all wouldn't you rather be discussing games that you do.  Rather than continuing to butt your head speaking against the devs of such games that you hate, wouldn't you rather be spending time in more positive discussions with devs about games you actually enjoy.  I hated TW3... that's why you'll never find me on a forum site devoted to fans of that game perpetually trying to find ways to troll and insult those players who do happen to enjoy that game.  It's a behavior pattern I simply don't get.  If you don't like the game, I"m fine with that.  Just forgetting it and moving on to something you like is, I still think, a better investment of your free time... regardless of how much free time you actually have.

If that's the way you feel, the your best course of action is to sell your gaming gear and find another hobby that you do enjoy.

Giving up on what though.  Let me put it another way.  You can decry AAA game devs all you want.  The fact is, I played Andromeda and I personally had fun playing it.  I still play it and I still have fun doing so.  There is nothing you can say to me that will change that fact.  You can troll and insult and do a zillion things that make my being here on this forum less fun.  I am spending less and less time here in part because of that... but I have no reason to believe all your belly-aching about either the game or the dev of that game as long as my first-hand genuine experience with the game itself is that I personally had fun... and, again, I do have fun playing Andromeda.  End of discussion.

And yet, here you are.

So you're saying something changed going on from DA2 onward. Could it be that, since then, something happened to Bioware? Like the EA acquisition? Chasing over the CoD crowd, as they were quoted several times back then? Or chasing the Skyrim crowd later on? Could these have been executive decisions, that influenced game development away from what Bioware did best? Just my two cents.


That ... depends. I can tell you that, whatever Bioware is doing, hasn't been listening to fans, who are asking for a return to the pre-EA acquisition style of Bioware development and Bioware pushing for chasing each new fad. Maybe we'll get a Battle Royale Mass Effect Andromeda next time. That's certainly the reason why the previous one flopped critically, right?


Well, reading the Schreier articles, it doesn't sound like it's working well for Bioware either. I don't understand your antagonism, though.

But a bit too late into the game's development to make too much of a dent. ME2, on the other hand and according to Chris L'Etoile, had some early signs of exec meddling, as ME2 hadn't been as deep in development as DA:O, during the acquisition. His forum posts on some "higher paid guy" dictating what Legion should be like are enlightening on that.

It is unfortunate that, thanks to some confidentiality agreements that prevents many developers from speaking out, we will probably not come to know any or most of these, unless anonymity is guaranteed by whoever they disclose to. Which makes the report mere hearsay and destroys credibility.

Stopped reading at "gameplay was bad". The fighting mechanics are excellent. My main gripe is that player damage is nerfed a little more than I'd prefer.
