It is not being vindictive. It trusting past experiences over game reviews. So, 1 month after release, all the reviewer you follow are recommending it, you’d still refuse to give it a chance based on not liking Andromeda? That’s where it starts to seem vindictive to me. No matter how many times people tell me their brussel sprouts are different and I'll love them, guess what I wont. Its not being vindictive, its understanding your tastes. And if bioware is unable to create something that fits your tastes you don't buy at least not anywhere near launch, you wait for the bargain bin to see if things have changed.
That's why I think the hope is not for this game but the next one down the line. If after DA4 or whatever if it has a positive enough reception and enough people get it on bargain and like it when MEN or some new IP or whatever comes out they may be willing to give it a chance closer to launch.

Would prefer they talk only about good games, not waste time on trash ones. In which case conversations about: *DA4 *ME Legendary, and *ME5 are entirely welcome. (The Anthem reboot we could debate. )

The Last of Us Part 2 is not as good as example as one might think. Sony and Naughty Dog tried to control the narrative, but it didn’t take much time at all before unfiltered opinions started flooding the internet to shit all over the game. It’s funny how people still shit on it even after it claims multiple awards, which no one even takes seriously anymore. Positive or negative word of mouth is independent of the unreliable games media.

Andrea Rene @andreareneY'all: I got to see the #MassEffect Legendary Edition in a special deep dive presentation from @bioware. Got questions for me about what I saw? Let me hear 'em and I'll try to answer them in a @whatsgood_Games video coming very soon I should mention: I did *NOT* get to play the games. I just saw a long presentation about what they've been working on. This would be a tough set of games to show in a hands-on event but wouldn't stop me from trying if EA gave me the opportunity

So is the legendary addition just a remaster? Supposedly there are some changes to systems beyond a simple graphical update, but we don’t really know what those are. The more direct answer is that they seem to be tweaking the existing content rather than remaking it, so it’s definitely closer to a remaster than a remake.

Depending on how you interpret the bold part, that could be your answer.
I don't expect Multiplayer to be part of the LE. However they might make it available separately. Either way, don't think it will be too long before we know.

In all likelihood, no What we’ve heard so far has been about graphical improvements and system improvements especially for ME1. It’s not impossible some extra content could be added, but it probably won’t be very significant.

I don’t really remember what EA or BioWare tried to do during ME3’s release, at least insofar as media reviews went. I only remember that the forum was an absolute shitshow and mods were deleting threads left and right. 2012 was a pretty different time. I’m not sure they even had the capacity to even attempt to suppress reviews like companies try now. I do remember, however, that outside of absolute hatred for the original endings, there were parts of the game people genuinely loved even then. The Tuchanka and Rannoch arcs were typically well-liked, even considering these high points of the trilogy, but then it went off the rails by the time Thessia rolled around. I guess overall, biggest difference is that ME3 shat itself in the end, whereas TLOU2 shat itself somewhere around the 2 hour mark.

With Shepard riding a unicorn? All to appease the "entitled fans"? The Colin Moriarty video calling fans entitled? The entire media covering this were calling fans idiots for not liking the game. A very coordinated and misinterpreted portrayal of the views of the fanbase, toward the complaints of the game, which only worked in further fueling the fire, much like TLoU2 did. And I can tell you there are things about TLoU2 that people liked. The level design is top notch, the voice acting is phenomenal, animations are, probably, unmatched in the medium and even dialogue is very well written. Of course there are scenes, like Abby's dad healing a zebra, curing cancer, delivering babies (I am exaggerating, but not entirely) that come of as entirely superfluous, forced and contrived, but for the most part, the writing is good. As in people talk like actual people. The problem is the inconsistencies of the characters, the false advertising and completely lackluster and nonsensical conclusion. So just like Me3.

The Tuchanka and Rannoch arcs were typically well-liked, even considering these high points of the trilogy, but then it went off the rails by the time Thessia rolled around. Personally though, I don't know why people felt like the game went downhill after Thessia. I think it was necessary and really hit home for me just how real and strong the Reapers were. ...the sheer gravity of the situation. The hopelessness of it all. Am I missing something? I thought the game was pristine up until mid discussion with Starbrat. Then again my first playthrough was with EC.

We even had discussions about how Mordin doing a 180° was ... a character 180°, how "Krogan Airdrop" was character suicide by Bioware, how going to war amidst a Reaper invasion was specie suicide etc. There's problems everywhere, but Tuchanka was competently good enough to be considered good. Rannoch is ... oof. And the Reaper in the end is the turd cherry on top. I am not fond of the Rannoch arc. Don't get me started on the coup.

Maybe its cause I didn't know about Mass Effect till about a week before Mass Effect 3 came out (first experience was ME2 demo), but I personally enjoyed the game overall. And when I did get the other games and played start to finish, I enjoyed it even more, and continue too. It's not perfect, but I can't name you a single flawless video game story in history (including Mass Effect 1 AND ESPECIALLY 2). I can see why some people weren't satisfied, but to act like someone just put Elephant piss in a cup and sold it too you is overboard. It's a game, it ain't that serious And to be honest, I haven't heard a single "Fan" ending that was better or more satisfying since ME3 came out. Yea I Said It! Speaking of ending scenes, I was curious about some dialogue options with the AI, and I I brought up and old save. I was tired, so my trigger finger wasn't as fast as usual...and I discovered this scene which I NEVER knew was even possible in the game: I don't know if I like this or the Shepard/Anderson final talk scene more. Both were great.
