Majority do not like it that's complete nonsense. According to what? Provide proof because at least these "bootlickers" provided evidence. Where's your evidence that the majority of people on this site bootlickers? Is it because that they disagree with you?

www.metacritic.com/game/pc/mass-effect-andromeda You can see the reality or live in a complete fantasy land. Y'know this place's not moderated by Bioware anymore. FFS lol It is like some of you actually want inept mediocrity. And no "bootlickers basically" because they defend this damn company no matter the discussion.

That's like saying 12k out of 15k that bought Ms. Marvel, liked Kamala Khan. Dunno anything about comic characters beyond movies, so your analogy doesn't really work for me. It means that out of the people, that few people to buy the rerelease, which effectively nobody bought, 3/4 liked it. 3/4 of nothing, is still nothing. Just like the 12k people that like Kamala Khan, can't stop the title from getting canceled for the ... 9th time? And its getting relaunched in January? It's a sign that maybe it's time to stop trying.

You know people have different perspectives on a game. Seriously this post dripping with arrogance, who are you to say that I want mediocrity? Who are you to judge? By the way there's also steam reviews that were mostly positive about Andromeda. They're more recent than the ones on metacritc.

Also, it sold like shit on steam, man. You and 10k people on Steam aren't saving Bioware.

Hmm, let's see 1,659 Positive Ratings 38% 665 Mixed Ratings 15% 1,980 Negative Ratings 46% The positive ratings are very close to the negative one's. The game was at 3.5 i think and now it's on 5. If those damn whiners didn't bombarded the game with 0 ratings, saying stupid stuff then the game would've sit higher. Oh, i almost forgot. The steam reviews were very positive. Btw don't use metacritic as a metric for the "majority". Go see comments on yt, twitter, reddit and you'll see there are thousands of people saying they loved/liked the game.

Twitter is essentially a cultist platform where a very small but extremely loud minority posts most of the content. It's not a relevant metric for anything.
Metacritic is unreliable because of review-bombing in both directions and sorely needs a function that ignores the 0s and the 10s for a more reliable score.
MEA has a 74% positive rating on Steam, which is pretty close to Metacritic's 72%. However, the review rated as most helpful by far (with about 3 times the votes as the second most helpful) is negative, stating that it's some fine combat on pretty worlds marred by poor writing and boring quests. And some other reviews listed when sorting by "most helpful" say essentially the same thing, they just give it a thumbs up anyway - which is understandable because people have different priorities. There are absolutely people there who liked its writing of course, but it is often quoted as a really poor aspect of the game, just not enough to give it a thumbs down because of the competent combat.
Was it not as bad as people claimed it was when it was released and it got a way too harsh reception? Yep.
Is it suddenly a hit now that it's on Steam? Nah.

Do I believe it the worst of all time? No. Do I believe it the worst Mass Effect entry? Yes. It is the reason along with Anthem that Bioware's reputation's where it is now, personally I find something that's dead middle of the road to be the most frustrating thing, a mediocre experience that overstays it's welcome's infinitely worse than a short bad experience. I love a good redemption story, so I really hope, the next Dragon Age and Mass Effect do not follow in the footsteps of their last two predecessors but instead the first two releases.

really believe that Andromeda is one of the worst games of all time and deserves all of the 0 and 1 scores it got? Definitely not, that's how review bombing works. There were some own goals, the animations were weak, particularly prior to patch 4 or 5 (I forget which). The game is solid enough but not at Trilogy standards, it could have used more punch in the story. On balance it's 'good' rather than 'outstanding'. It needed some DLC love which DA2 got (but this didn't). Around a 7/10 game in my view which looks weak by comparison but it has clearly not been disregarded ahead of ME5.

DA2 had some of the best dlc of any game in my opinion. The game had it's share of flaws and was definetly rushed but in the end it was a fun game with great companions and great replayability. In the end that is what's most important in a game. I think if they had given MEA dlc it would have helped it a great deal, I really hated how they abandoned it like they did.

Dragon age is their strongest franchise in my opinion. It's three seperate stories and three different characters as a protaginist and yet they have all been great games. Yes DA2 was rushed and had problems but it was still a very fun game and had great replayability and that is the most important thing for a game in my opinion. So I believe the next dragon age game will most likely be a great game.

So I believe the next dragon age game will most likely be a great game. Nah, not for my taste. For me all 4 Mass Effect games are better than any Dragon Age entry. Genre (sci-fi), combat and mission design the main reasons. Even though all 4 games had their flaws, I still have way more fun with them than with DA. I think I have played all four ME games more than 10 times, while only finishing DAO twice and the other two once. To each their own...

Is it suddenly a hit now that it's on Steam? Nah. No one is saying it's a hit on Steam, but rather that there are many people who think that it's good. With a few saying that it's really good, whether they agree that the writing is good or bad is irrelevant to the conversation that was going on. There's not a "minority" here that people on this thread keep claiming without evidence but a much bigger fanbase than what they think. Dismissing them or just saying that they "want mediocrity" is disingenuous when they have legitimate reasons for liking the said game.

I hope BioWare can produce 2 good games but i’m Hardly confident that’ll be the case.

I really hated how they abandoned it like they did. Legendary Edition is at the moment looking very sweaty on the immense work modders had to do after Bioware went to do what Bioware is doing right now (you can see the amount of errors the Community Patches fixed while people crying to those who have come on social media that there is no evidence of bugs and glitches after Bioware patched the LE and to just stop talking about that).

To sum it up: -Steam has to few people who actually bought the game there; -Metacritic is unreliable due to review bombing; -twitter is cultist platform; -reddit is echo chamber; -Facebook is run by thought police; -YouTube is full of grifters; -this forum is swarming with bootlickers.
So were does the confidence about what majority likes comes from?

Generally don't approve of the 'FTFY' crowd, but it is actually pretty crucial (and true) in this instance.
As to your question - I think you know the answer as well as I. It comes from their ass. Oh, and in one case - their "contact" deep within Bioware itself, that dispenses information about development of games unavailable to the public and closely held sales information that is absolutely real and not fabricated to attempt to further an agenda in any way.
And, not voting but, no. Not excited. Wouldn't be excited for a new one either. MEA was a bit boring, for me. Not bad, just not that interesting.

As to your question - I think you know the answer as well as I. It comes from their ass. It comes from market performance, inflation and market share/segment. A 2017 game sharing the same segment with a title from the same franchise, but from 2010, is a regression on every point, because the dollar is worth less in 2017, than in 2010, there are more gamers in 2017, than in 2010 and the budget of the game is much larger in 2017, than in 2010. So in every aspect, Andromeda failed to, at the very least, keep up with its market segment, in terms of share, revenue and net revenue.
To put this in context, with a smaller budget, Witcher 3 has, so far, sold 3 million copies more ( 10m copies total) than ME3 ( 7 million copies total). Granted, as a relatively early PS4/XBONE title, the Witcher has had a much longer shelf span, than ME3 (same goes for ME2), because it sold on the tail end of the PS3/X360 generation. But ME3 had a huge push, came close after ME2, which was a monumental success for Bioware and had a lot of praise and good will in the publisher. Now, whether people here believe it or not, Andromeda was not as well received as their previous games in the franchise, and while having a longer shelf span, so far, (ME:A has enjoyed 4 years vs ME2's 3 years) and heavily discounted on numerous occasions, it merely manages to match ME2's sales, while generating less revenue, due to the large discounts and worse Return on Interest, due to higher budget. Which makes ME:A a failure, by the numbers. And even if you don't like "perception" as a metric, numbers paint the picture vividly.
I'd also like to point out that ME3's 7 million copes in the last year, effectively, of the PS3/X360 generation, meant it only got 1 year of shelf life, to achieve those sales. But the 10m copies that Witcher reportedly sold, where also achieved in the Witcher's 1st year on the shelves.
