Mass Effect Andromeda Skepticism thread

You're right, it's their story. That's why it's extra disappointing they fucked it up and decided to release it, then patch it up multiple times via DLC and still not address the most fundamental issue because they were stubborn and didn't see that there was an error in it in terms of continuity, narrative 101 (like dramatic structure, 3-act structural plot-design) logical flow of events and thematically relevant reveals. It's much more their response to the ending-reactions that ended up bothering me than the actual content itself. That they couldn't see what was wrong with it or at least give us a reasonable account on their part of the way it turned out or why they won't change it in a way that was more respectful than "We're good friends with industry-press and we got 75 perfect scores, we're proud of what we made but let's not go into that not even when you ask hardball questions at cons". I get it's sensitive for them too but... it stings and there ended up being losers on both ends, both fans and BioWare and the journalists, but apparently it has led to discussions about what's proper internally at BioWare and it also generated certain interesting movements in the press. I personally learned a lot about narrative and writing as a biproduct of being so frustrated about ME3. That, I'm thankful for.

It's so bad that other writers from other industries have taken notice of how bad it is and slammed it publically, not to mention at least a hundred thousand passionate fans. If the controversy is that big it's not just becuase people have a stick up their butt about it, it's because there's something the developers didn't make properly.
