Does the Mass Effect franchise end with Andromeda?

that "bug" with the credits isnt a bug, the mass effect server seem a little overwhelmed due to connection issues. i noticed it too but you will get the credits later. this is the exact same thing that has happened in ME3 when it came out. As i said, lag isnt a bug and after the first patch there should be less lag (trial mp was almost unplayable for me due to lag, first patched fixed that).
may i ask what your harware specs are? i noticed the crashes in the trial as well, but they stopped for me with the first patch.

My feelings are pretty mixed on this. On one hand, Mass Effect is still one of my favorite franchises, so I don't want to see it go out with the whimper that is MEA instead of a bang; but on the other, I want this game to do poorly as now that they shut down the forums, it's the only real way to get the message across to Bioware that people are becoming more and more unhappy with what they're doing.

ah yes. the game that singlehandedly destroyed a comic book running 20 years strong because Bioware couldn't be bothered to get the rights to the characters they instead blatantly plagiarized.

I don't think it'll be the end of the franchise. Sales will be good enough to justify a sequel and there's still a lot of stories to tell. I do think there'll be significant changes behind the scenes, though.

My guess would be production lead (cause they fucked up in too many ways), writing lead (cause it's uninspired), tech lead (cause ME was stomped into the ground by Witcher 3 and, in some aspects, it's own predecessor) and possibly a significant chunk of the talent cause they clearly weren't up to the task. Too many rookie mistakes, an overall lack of quality and sloppy execution.

(and whoever decided to give Andromeda to Montreal isn't going to get a pay raise either...)

The team was way out of their depth and I can't see EA running the risk of allowing them another chance to fuck up one of their most significant franchises even more. Might even send it into a bit of a hiatus and then give production back to Edmonton.

Movie might be next step. The Mass Effect world is a good story

I don't share any of the sentiments , the only thing im dissapointed in is the LAG/rubberbanding on the MultiPlayer maps and the CTD's other then that I can honestly say it's my favourite of the SERIES talking campaign only. Everything from the quirky dialogue , planets , armor designs and SQUAD members personalities it's truly a great game.

This game suffers from poor kid's bashing it started pre-release as it had with For Honor , Destiny and many more big titles , the downie tween generation is set to bash this game and I can't blame them that's what happens when you don't raise/educate your children and hand them an iPad when they turn 4.

Back in my day I wouldn't sleep the night knowing I would wake up and play Prince of Persia on MS-DOS or Double Dragon on SEGA , nowdays these entitled mofos nitpick at the smallest details like some "facial animations" not being rendered perfectly. It's a sad AGE for gaming anyone above 25 should knows this.

If you are looking for mature/dramatic storyline content and feel too old for the "semi-young" adventurous dialogue you should start reading Henry VI, you won't find that in videogames.

First, MEA is rated M or 17+. Second, semi-young dialogue can be tasteless or good. Third, if you put some effort into it, you actually can find some surprising things in videogames, even in some selected Bioware prodcuts. Henry VI is not the most robust form of wisdom out there. Myself, I am not a grandfather just yet, so I won't elaborate on the issue but I've recently read Hunger games and Harry Potter some time ago and find they are both generally OK, nothing cringe-worthy, so IMHO the argument is absolutely mute here. Yes, people happily watch bad movies and play bad games regardless of age, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as they have a good time and happily pay for their entertainment. I even occasionally find Big Bang Theory quite sharp and by no means prefer Last of the Summer Wine over it automatically, either one has good and bad episodes.

It's just that Requiem recently composed by Bioware has too many false notes compared to ... Mozart, for example. It hurts the ears, sorry, pure physiology, my fault 100%. But whatever rocks your boat, not going to argue here.

Not when there's money to be made.

It's not my fault you refer to yourself as a "grown ass man" who can't enjoy a funny dialogue to unwind , videogames are make belief after all it's fiction , movies fall into the same category when you put it up like that where can I direct you ?

You can keep your own opinions, it's just not fitting for a videogame forum to complain about such a narrative or wanting something more dramatic, more mature? lol entitled much ? Based on what you wrote im pretty sure you didn't even hit level 20 in the single player campaign as the dialogue and the narrative are top notch and better then ever before especially in terms of squad members evolvement and last but not least the narrative is aimed for a younger generation. So sorry but I can't take you seriously on this topic.

Like I said before pick up Henry the VI - th , that's an actual history lesson and case study that happened in real life , if you need a " real , dramatic , story" as opposed to nitpicking at the ME:A storyline maybe in the end you will actually learn something about life  . Cheerio
