Let's just call it how it is, Mass Effect: Andromeda should've been delayed.

LOL Sega.  When they backed out of console wars I thought it was a shrewd move, allowing them to focus on making great games.

Then they stopped making great games.  In retrospect, maybe they should have kept making hardware instead.

They should have stopped publishing too.

They should have stopped publishing too.

Sega was the publisher, the game was made by Obsidian.

You must not be familiar with EA's modus operandi then. They have a long track record of this in recent times. But go ahead you can doubt all you want, but its true. Look it up. That is what happened. Plus you only have to play the game to quickly notice how rushed and cut-cornery the game was in many aspects. But originally EA wanted the game out for christmas 2011, but Casey and co managed to get a short delay, and even that wasnt enough. The fact of the matter is you simply cannot make a game of Mass Effect 3's size and scope, a game which was suppose to be the conclusion to an epic, huge, long running series, with all the bagage from the previous titles on top as well etc.. you cannot do all that in 2 or less years as they did and were forced to by EA's stupid manegment(think John Riccitiello, Peter Moore and the like). There's simply too much to do in such little time... and well history speaks for itself. We all know what happened.

$$$$$ comes before everything else i guess. They should take heed of these words...

I agree i mean,
 

It got delayed, and delayed an delayed some more. The development was a mess and it got shifted between companies too, as i recall, and finally you had the finished product: Which turned out to be a steaming pile of unfunny shit.

Also anyone remember this game:



Looked really nice initially, with Mass Effect like action and cutscenes with similar kind of dialogue system, but in the end the whole product was subpar crap with a horrible AI. Why? Cause of bad management thats why. And there went any hope of it getting a sequel.

I agree, i mean Alien: Colonial Marines... whooboy...

As much as some Mass Effect games were screwd up, theyre not bad games. Games like the above are.

I think the conclusion "They dont have Polished Gameplay to show" .. or "Because they didnt show a complete Side Quest with Cinematics and Dialoge means those Side quests maybe doesnt exist" almost borders on Paranoia.. sorry to say this..

I dont feel what we have seen so far has been THAT unpolished. The Facial Animations are propably simply what they are so we have to live with them.. And Stuff like the Flying Avenger Rifle is propably already been fixed.

Also i get the strong feeling that someone in the Marketing Departement is really stubborn about the whole "Dont even spoil a tiny bit of Story".
I read somewhere that every Sidequest is linked to the Main Quest someway. Maybe they are so protective about spoilers that they Feel even a smaller uneditted Side Quest will Spoil too much..

While it would be a small risk they should just show 30 Minutes of a small uncut Sidequest. Yeah they will be some minor Spoilers but i am 100% Sure most peoples concerns would be at least made alot less.

The Witcher 3 had 37 Minutes of one of their best Side Quests out well before release. Yes it spoiled some minor stuff but it also gave a great representation of what exactly the Game will be like.
They could easily do the same.. but somehow they are so overly protective even about small Spoilers...
