I'd gotta admit, my favorite thing in ME:A is making new assault rifles and having fun making more headshots. Plus biotics are always fun. Except the game doesn't suck. |

I'd say the level of suck is in the eye of the beholder. Me? This is one ME game that I am mostly staying for the gun crafting and headshots. Hopefully the DLC will improve the story somehow. It felt stilted. Guess that comes from having 4 or 5 lead writers over the course of development.
Here's how I rank ME on story: ME2,ME1, ME3 and then ME:A.

The game isn't going to fail, you just expect more out of the venue's they're showing off the game at so far. VGA didn't have time for 10-20 minute trailers and featurettes; it's an awards show that a bunch of other companies paid money for a minute or two for spotlight on their games. CES doesn't have time for 20 minutes for a video game because it's not a video game convention. The only thing that's failing is your expectations. Nvidia has a booth for CES; there's a chance that they'll have a Mass Effect demo on one of the units. And even if they don't, IGN has exclusive coverage of the game later this month. And it failed so miserably the franchise is put on hold, and the studio @ Montreal has been shut down because of the game's performance. |

Ah, this thread's back... An eight-month long reply might be considered a bit of a necro, but let's run with it. If the thread becomes un-civil, please let the mods know...  |

I can see why this guy feels the way he does. Putting in spoilers because it talks about the ending. And the sins vid: Which might have some spoilers, so if you havent finished it or whatnot, viewer beware. Just saw this. A few of thos esins are actually dealt with in-game if you're willing to dig deep enough into teh dialogue. But yeah, there's some serious howlers!  |

Necroing this thread is kinda pointless. MEA's story is over. There's nothing to speculate about anymore.

Oh, I remember when people thought the lack of MEA's content was because they wanted to avoid what happened with DAI (and that game was a success) or they were copying Bethesta marketing strategy.
How inocent and pure people were back then...

And the sins vid: Which might have some spoilers, so if you havent finished it or whatnot, viewer beware. Haha...that 2nd vid was hilarious and he was right about everything posted within..... I agree with what he states about Andromeda's story being uninspired too....comparing it to the weight and urgency seen in ME2, Andromeda's plot required the characters to act with a sense of urgency since supplies are low...but everybody was cracking jokes and employed a non-chalant attitude. |

Well, tickinging to a certain view even when all the evidence is against it is not unheard of. what evidence? Granted the video game industry MIGHT be different but commonly held wisdom tends to be the LESS confident in a product (like a movie) the MORE they advertise it. Just look at the DCEU...or hell the advertising for TFA versus the Last Jedi. The fact is all evidence points to EA being confident in their product up till release. That it would sell without advertising based on the brand alone (and it worked for Bethesda) and would sell despite its bugs on release Also based on the brand. The kicker? They were right. Based on the facts. |

And no, confidence is a product does not mean little marketing. The Star Wars films (and GTA for games) are the exception that proves the rule. And if MEA sales were good, it wouldn't have put Mass Effect on hold, cancelled a potential sequel and it would have severals DLC, like all other Bioware games. |

Last i knew they were still releasing content for the game, they even released new content for it this week. And are continuing to work on the ip through other media. And have expressed an interest in making a full game for the series. |

But seriously, watched Bladerunner and man did MEA needed it's Villeneuve at the helm. Something that expands on the previous, builds on it's strengths, but is also it's own thing, doesn't try to imitate it. And is fully finished. |
