This map will be hard on higher difficulties since enemies can pretty much flank you in almost all of the map. ps: #savethequarians

The reason there is bound to be DLC is that EA use DLC to maintain a full game cost. Look at ME2, 3 and DA:I. The DLC has not reduced in price despite all these years going by, but the base game does. In time ME:A will reduce in price a lot, so they will need to have DLC that stays expensive. The cheap base game brings people in, and then they don't feel so bad about buying the DLC on top. For that reason alone there will be DLC. It's possible that they already cut their losses with the base game and don't expect much moneyt to come from it, but a bigger install base would justify/improve the chances of successful DLC. I'm not saying it's a fact, but it is a possibility. Specially if DLC was planned from the start;

Gee, tell all of the developers who discount their game in the Steam Summer Sale that they must know their game's a failure because it's on sale. If you genuinely need to convince yourself that A GAME BRIEFLY BEING ON SALE makes it a failure, you really need to focus on the things in life you actually enjoy, other than being obsessed with hating the things other people enjoy.

I actually thought that that was obvious. Apparently, it wasn't. Sorry. 2) I'm not a hater. Quite the contrary, I love the game. If you feel like "defending" something, pick a fight with someone else. 3) Haha, I made a typo. That clearly invalidates a point.

In general tho, it is not weird to think that a game that came out in March that see's a drastic price drop, would give somebody the impression that the game isn't selling well. In some scenarios, if the game isn't selling, companies will drop the price. Games like GTA 5 have held their $60 price tag loooong after the game released because people still purchased it at record levels.
i think it really hasn't been that long since GTA 5 seen it's price drop... my point is that Take -Two didn't see a need to drop the price since people still purchased the game. Today the game still experiences impressive sales.
With Andromeda, sure enough it sold well, but i'm thinking maybe the price drop is because it's trying to bring new comers into the fold after the game crash and burned out of the gates. The patches provided since then has made the game better (at least cosmetically) than what it was when it first dropped.

Looked at the local Target and Best Buy stores in Phoenix, Arizona and they are $40 as of last week and this week. Digital version on XBox Live though is $30 (for regular) and $35 (for deluxe).

I think it depends how long the price has dropped. All games will go on sale at some point. A sale isn't a "price drop." But does the sale end and the price go back up? That probably reveals more than just the price at any particular point in time.

That probably reveals more than just the price at any particular point in time. In my personal experience, the price drop was on and off. It was on sale for a good month or two before going back to full retail (Sale lasted throughout April and May if I remember correctly).

Would be nice if they could pull some artwork from the archives that show some of the homeworlds we never got to see in the original trilogy. Seeing Dekunna, Irune, Heshtok, Kahje and Palaven would be really cool.

Could the expression "loss leader" be relevant here? I imagine EA gets the normal amount when a store discounts the price.

Pretty too bad we never do any exploration on Aya. Imagine how the artist feels...that's a completely different Aya. Also suggests that it wasn't just a hub world. I also see shades of Anthem with this concept art, so at least the artists work wasn't completely in vain.

Since I'm on Playstation and don't have the "Play through ME:Andromeda Trial" Trophy, unlike Origin, is there a reason I should get it? I'm kinda at loss why they're anouncing the Free Trial again.

Uh, why? You already have the game? It's not effecting your 100% or anything like that. Apparently, according to Origin its worth like zero points or whatever they said.

I also see shades of Anthem with this concept art, so at least the artists work wasn't completely in vain. It wasn't necessarily meant as open map, this kind of concept art is usually supposed to define the general feel of a location, especially in the early stages of development. It rarely ends up as template for the actual in-game location, unless the developers had something very specific in mind. No reason for the artist to be disappointed, even if the concept art in many cases looks much better than what was implemented in the game or some good ideas had to be dropped due to technical limitations, it's just the way it goes. For those interested, there is some very nice concept art for Voeld on Ben Lo's tumblr page.
