Now that the game is less than 2 weeks away from release, which title would you have preferred? Cast your mind back through the sands of time, and recall those tiny twitter hints that practically spelled out "Contact" as the third word in the game title.
Later they changed their minds and altered it to "Andromeda". Which title would you have been more excited for? Personally I would have gone for "Mass Effect: Contact" as it's more open to interpretation. Then the spoiler avalanche began and we know what we know now.

I'm glad they called it Andromeda. I was worried I might forget what galaxy I was playing in. Now there's only a slight chance of that happening.

Andromeda is fine, contact makes it sound to much like Star Trek and that's not what this is. Mass Effect should keep its own identity.

I like the name. 'Andromeda' isn't all that specific...I mean its an entire galaxy. Besides, I've always loved reading up on the real life Andromeda galaxy.

Contact sounds interesting- but I think they went with Andromeda, because "Contact" sounds too close to the " First Contact War". Although, I still would've preferred not to know too much about Andromeda before it released. It's always funner going in blind. That said, I couldn't help myself and ended up watching/reading all the official news. I tend to avoid leaks.

ME:Contact sounds ok. AS someone said above it does remind me of the First Contact War. I've always thought it would be cool to play through the First Contact War, even though it was over pretty fast in the scope of ME lore.

I prefer Andromeda, because it reminds you that you are truly saying goodbye to the Milky Way and starting over in a new galaxy. It's "Mass Effect" but it's also not related to the trilogy directly.

I don't really care either way, after all:
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet."
Then again it would be nice if they'd called it Mass Effect: Pretty Good Banging.

Mass Effect: Advent Rising. This is definitely the most creative response given so far.

My opinion: Mass Effect: Contact makes sense on a literary plane; we are making contact with a new galaxy. As many have said, Contact has been somewhat of a "staple" for the series and I wouldn't mind that angle at all. As the devs have said, this game is supposed to be ME1 just reenvisioned into a more glorious form. I think the thematics work here. That said, Mass Effect: Andromeda tends to roll off the tongue better. It has a kinda of dreamy quality to it that instills mystery and newness.
TL;DR: I wouldn't mind either.

ME Contact can be the next chapter. Introduce a new nemesis after getting a foothold in Andromeda.
