I hate it and Facebook equally. Besides, not enough room with that character limit. I hate it too, but twitter is pretty much official BSN forums 2.0 as far as Bioware is concerned. They are more likely to hear you there than anywhere else. Ahem!

As I said though, they are more likely to hear you on twitter rather than anywhere else. This ea help section doesn't change that Nothing beats shooting Ian Frazier, Michael Gamble, Aarynn flynn and the others a tweet directly on your issues with the game.

I feel bad for the Bioware folks... Truly. Andromeda has flaws(of course, bugs, glitches and such) but people are over-reacting. And oh, the irony, many of them didn't even play the game and are judging it from Internet memes. Devs are quieter now, I figured that after Andromeda had been released, they would've, y'know, started talking with us in Twitter, saying what was their favorite part on designing a mission, what's your favorite part of the game, what did you like/didn't, companion, Jos with his #space tweets and an answer to all the teaser-tweets that Jos, Gamble and the other guys did "can't say much more about it!" Instead, we got this polygon guy saying that Andromeda is in Early access and Bioware releasing a statement saying they will fix some character that everyone has forgotten about, even those that complained about. Gotta go, I need to enjoy Andromeda. Even with the bugs and glitches that will eventually be patched, it's far from a bad game. The story/writing/characters don't bother me at all and I don't see what is the huge deal. They have plans, it was said that Andromeda would remove that sense of urgency we were forced to have (Delerict Reaper, imminent Collector threat, Reaper invasion? Hahaha, let me scan planets for minerals/war assets first) and I'm sure the sequel will get darker and will improve on every aspect. After all, we've just explored a Cluster of Andromeda Bioware, if you're reading this, thank you for delivering this amazing experience. We need a little bit of positivy nowadays. It's getting hard(even for me, I'm starting to feel it...)

So going by that polygon guys logic. Witcher 3 was an early access game until they added in those extra Triss and Yennifer romance scenes/dialogue...
Like ya the game needs some fixing but the amount of effort people are going through to bad mouth it and apparently efforts to fix it is crazy...

Polygon @polygonSurprise! Mass Effect: Andromeda is now an early access game www.polygon.com/2017/4/5/15190250/mass-effect-andromeda-patches-animation-early-access?utm_campaign=polygon&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twittershinobi602 @shinobi602Figured it'd be Kuchera. Pretty low guys. Arthur Gies @aegiesI don't think it's especially unfair, and I say this as Polygon's resident ME:A defender. shinobi602 @shinobi602Comparing it to an early access game means he hasn't played actual E.A. games. Every game has post launch patches and ongoing support. Arthur Gies @aegiesThis goes beyond post-launch patches and ongoing support - it suggests fairly substantial narrative edits/changes in a story heavy game. Michael Gamble @gamblemikeout of curiosity, which of the items would you consider a substantial narrative edit? Not confirming or denying, just curious. Arthur Gies @aegiesromance options make fairly large changes to dialog and story stuff later. and to other character interactions. Arthur Gies @aegiesthis is a series where the "small" details for characters make a huge difference to the emotional attachments that people develop. shinobi602 @shinobi602I suppose what people count as "substantial" differs from person to person. Optional romantic content isn't a major change in shinobi602 @shinobi602grand scheme of things to me. And certainly not to the overall narrative of the full game. Arthur Gies @aegiesBut romantic content is important enough to mass effect for BioWare to release a statement about it, and numerous "who can you bang" posts. Arthur Gies @aegiesI'm not saying it needs to be important to you. I get that it isn't. But it is to many players, and they're getting a beta right now. This aegies guy is a fucking idiot. Excuse my language but adding a few optional romance options is more like free dlc as opposed to calling a game beta testing. Yeah you could say beta testing because of all of the glitches and bugs but not for optional gay romances I guess we can at least thank scummy people like this guy to entice Bioware to give out free dlc to the early adopters. Why did I buy Mass Effect full price with the errors that has? Same reason people buy the newest iPhone or Nintendo console. You want to get your hands on it knowing that it's technology and not always perfect. With a game as big as mass Effect, are people really wondering why it has bugs? What game this size and scope doesn't have bugs at release? Yeah, it is "funny" how some studios can patch romances as "free DLC" and get lauded for it whereas others do it and get slammed with "early access". Hypocrites Polygon? Well I guess they pulled their so called journalism out of their asses because it sure does smell.

I just made a quick cursory check on Polygon and they indeed applauded when CDPR patched minor and MAJOR story quests for TW3. No word of early access. Go figure Somehow I get the feeling money was transfered or something.

MEA is more buggy by far than TW3 was at launch, and some of its bugs are pretty inexcusable. Still, it's clear that many are simply piling on against BioWare, now. They're writing negative, clickbait articles because there's blood in the water, and the mob's feeding frenzy is in full effect. Though I don't personally care what these imbeciles write (most of them don't even use proper English in their "professional" articles), it is frustrating to see a product and development team misrepresented. I don't read gaming "journalism", aside from the occasional preview for games that have piqued my interest. These hacks seem to wield great influence, though, and it's a shame.

I have only seen the major bugs and glitches from TW3 on YT. My own copy was already patched several times before I started playing. I did read Guerilla's patch notes for HZD and it does appear to be in "early access" as well.
Anyway there is always going to be a compromise between how long polishing can continue and getting something out there.

That "early access" shit was uncalled for, pardon my Orlesian. Yeah, MEA has more bugs than we all hoped, I've faced my share of them, but I got around them too, usually without too much effort.
I for one am quite pleased with the announced patch features and hope that BioWare will take the time to add some post launch polish.
As far as Hainly Abrams is concerned, I found her dialogue just odd. I mean, if being transgender is still a big thing in the ME universe, you wouldn't tell a stranger you've just met. And if it isn't a big thing anymore, why mention it at all? It would be like a dark haired character saying "You know, I used to be blonde in the Milky Way, but I wanted a fresh start..."

The long & short of it is that it is flavour of the month to hate on BW, no matter what they do, or how they address the problem, simple minded twats are going to create about it.
I'm playing ME:A & enjoying it, yes the game has a few bugs (managed to get locked in the Tempest armoury once), but show me one AAA title that was flawless at launch.
Yes there are a few game breaking bugs & it can get annoying to hear SAM tell you about the temperature change every few seconds, but is the level of hate being sent in BW's direction truly justified?
My opinion, no, no it's not, the company knows there are issues, it is addressing them, it has put out a statement acknowledging the fan feedback & is actively making strides to improve the game.
Well, that's just my opinion on this anyway.

My opinion, no, no it's not, the company knows there are issues, it is addressing them, it has put out a statement acknowledging the fan feedback & is actively making strides to improve the game. And I agree with you. There are bugs, just like in every single piece of software out there. Bugs, at least most of them, will be fixed. Someone just faced more bugs than others. People should see bugs for what thay truly are, errors during development that can happen and will be fixed. Some months of delay in game release and they could have fixed all the bugs? No, false! We doesn't know how the game was 6 months ago. Perhaps they have fixed coutless bugs in the last months and some others are new. Bugfixing sometimes create new bugs. At some point in development, there should be the "release", if a developer wait to release a software to be totally bug-free, no software will ever be published. What makes the difference is the post release support, not only in the bugfixing process, even in the quality of life. Bioware is addressing also some "problems" raised by some players, problems that are not bugs. I think, reading at patch notes, they are doing a good work in the post release support. So really they doesn't deserve all the hate against them, they released a good game and are working to make it even better. Every good software house should work this way. TW3 released 16 free DLCs among them new quests, animations and looks for characters, they also made changes to the UI in the paid Expansion Packs, no one had issue with that lol. TW3 is just "another good game", but for lot of people it's perfect, it can't have bugs, it can't have problems, it's the only one RPG that must be played and so on.

Okay, so I read that Polygon article... And this is beyond ridiculous. Look, I'm not even a huge Andromeda fan, I gave it 75%, because I find this game ok, rather enjoyable, but nothing more. I wouldn't even compare it to OT, because for me it's just different league. But early access?! Game is fully playable from the begining to the end, you don't miss anything important without patch. Of course, improvements are neccessary, and a lot of them, but they only make your next playthrough richier. Because this game was not made to play it only once - this is why we have different genders, romance and story choices. So this argument, that you wasted your time by playing without patches.... Stupid. Utterly stupid.

TW3 was good, but somewhat clunky, at release. I never experienced the weirder bugs that some did. I honestly don't recall even experiencing a single broken quest, though I later read about plenty of those "don't do it in this order" type of bugs. HZD's patches are like luxury items. The game was silky smooth from day one; and now they're just making it even better, like tweaking the economy, etc... I know that MEA is kind of a mess, in terms of bugs. People are attacking the writing, though, which is ridiculous. If one plays past the initial interactions with Addison Foster, and Drack's shaky introduction, the writing and VA work is pretty much BioWare at the top of their game. I could understand roasting MEA for its technical issues, but this widespread claim that it's somehow less well written/acted/whatever than the OT is absurd. This "Early Access" quip is asshattery.

Agreed finished my first playthrough of MEA last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yeah it does have a few bugs but most of them are pretty minor. The only big major one which I hope todays patch will fix is it does crash a lot during cutscenes. Last night while doing the final mission I had it crashing every 5 minutes at one point that's bad but in general I love the game I just wish it was more stable like al lthe other games I have of Bioware's ar. DAI for example which ironically uses the same engine was one of the most stable games I've played so far and works perfectly on my system. TBH other than that I don't have any complaints. I love the game and I hope my next playthrough with Scott will be more stable than the one I just finished. I don't mind the odd crash but the amount of times MEA has crashed out on me is a bit ridiculous.

sjsharp2010 Are you on PC? If yes, then I have competely different experience than you. MEA didn't crash even once (well, not counting that one freeze I had during one of boss fights, but I blame myself for it, alt-tabbing-addict), while DAI used to crash a lot.

The first patch sounds like it's mostly a stabilizing patch where by dealing with issues like what I experienced so hopefully it'll fix it. Of course I won't know until I come back and do another playthrough. Which I do plan to do but was going to do another run of the trilogy first.

TW3 released 16 free DLCs among them new quests, animations and looks for characters, they also made changes to the UI in the paid Expansion Packs, no one had issue with that lol. A lot of that "Free DLC" though can be easily argued as cut content being added again later, one of those DLC was New Game + which is standard on release with most other games and all the other stuff is extremely minor when compared to the free content they released for there previous games.

I don't think it was ever the nature of the content that was a big deal. It was simply refreshing to have a major release actively supported via free DLC for an extended time. The armors and the like were all useless to me, but things like additional animations are always welcome. Honestly, given the reception and buggy state of MEA, it wouldn't hurt BioWare to release a small, free SP DLC, or two. It's not EA's way, so I'm not holding my breath. Still, the iconic rifle from the ad campaign (and a third of the in-game cutscenes) is missing. Should we have to pay for it via DLC, or should BioWare offer a free weapons pack?

The Black Emporium was free in Inquisition. ME2 had quite a bit of free content for people who had a new copy of the game and that was then released for everyone later on. and in the Sims 4 (another EA game) they have released quite a lot of free content quite frequently which many assumed they would have to pay for. Hell EA has the "On The House" promo were they give out free games, DLC, and other extra content (They gave out all the DLC for Battlefield 4 and Hardline for free at one point) this seems more down to the "EA can do no right/ CDPR can do no wrong" attitude the Internet has.
