The Potential of Star Citizen Could Really Help Evolve Mass Effect Going Forward

The problem with Star Citizen is that such a game could never get made outside of pretty much the exact circumstance that Chris Roberts has right now.

It's so big in scope and cost that no publisher would ever approve of this game because of the massive risk that it would be.

Due to the scope and cost of it as well, you pretty much had to be legendary as a game creator in order to get that many people willing to hand over that much money.

On top of that, it's been in development for like 5 years and it's not coming out this year. We might get the 3.0 alpha late 2017.

I've sort of followed it for a long time now without actually buying into it and I'd say if you want to play it just be cautious because it has had a very troubled development. Personally I have no faith in it but if someone finds it interesting I'd suggest just getting the cheapest package and not buying into any promises, only buy what they fully deliver on and don't trust that what they show in a demo will make it into the game.

There's no writers on Star Citizen and it shows. It's an impressive technical and system-design feat, but it's nothing truly appealing and BioWare is smart business wise not to touch it.

If you want near seamless planetary-space transitions, Play Elite: Dangerous.

I'm fine with it not being in ME:A as it's not a space simulator, It's a Story RPG with a space setting. For my Space Sim needs I play Elite:Dangerous and for my story and shooting people while having romances I play Bioware games.

I feel like by the time Star Citizen actually comes out I'll be able to do everything in the game in real life.

SC looks fine, surely. But MEA isn't a space simulator. And thank god for that. It makes it possible to focus on the core of Bioware: story and characters. And gameplay (a little).

Why cant Mass Effect: Andromeda have seemless planetary-space transitions?. Why shouldnt Mass Effect: Andromeda play up, indulge in its space faring setting rather than not at all?. The two arent mutally exclusive. Mass Effect can have both elements. But you cant deny having seemless planetary-space transitions would add so much to the game, little details like this, attention to detail adds so much, add to the immersion. I think it would have been awesome to have that in the game.

I mean i remember when i saw the footage of what was to be Free Radical's PS360 cancelled Star Wars: Battlefront 3 and it had seemless planetary-space transitions, and that game was not a space sim. The player could take off from the surface and continue the fight in space or vice versa. And it looked a right blast, adding a whole other dimension to things, new gameplay, more immersion etc... And there's no reason it couldnt have done the same for Andromeda. You'd have a lot of possibilities. Like what about somethling like space/orbital combat, dogfighting or orbit to ground combat as well etc etc. But in general how cool would that be to pilot through the seemless planetary-space transitions to and from the Tempest, instead of it being a cutscene or fade to black. Like this suppose to be next-gen, there's no reason this stuff has to be a cutscene anymore. Let us play it, let us interact instead. Games are about fun after all.

Lolol.... Andromeda has been in development longer, and will be less polished at release.

The rest of your post is confusing, but as others have mentioned you are making a joke there.



Why?

I haven't spent a penny on this game yet. I might buy it if it comes close to what they promised, probably will really because some of it fresh concept.

If you pre-ordered MEA, then your quote applies.

I'm glad there are enough fools out there backing the game, making a new big budget space sim possible. Kudos!

Lol finished product. Yer fanboi is showing.

As for your opinion of SC, well.... That's like, your opinion, man. You may be right, but don't count your Mass Effect chickens yet there pal.

Reading comprehension fail?
