EA, let me help you, here is how you save the Mass Effect franchise.

I like the idea, but I would have that in a sequel to ME3. Shepard is sitting with a character when they bring up each others past. Shepard will mention the time he/she was(whatever  background is chosen)doing whatever, and that scene plays out. The player relives that scene with his/her Shepard

He's at best an asshat, at worst a troll.

He just likes arguing without any payoff.  Seems a bit like jerking it 'till the end of time to me, but hey, whatever floats his boat.

Well Mass Effect never would have happened without Hudson around.

Though it would likely be modded out the first chance people got.

Remake the first mass effect game, but do it from the perspective of Saren. Let us start out believing we're the good guy, and slowly let us fall from grace, only to realise we're the evil after all.

If EA & BioWare were interested in saving the franchise they wouldn't have effectively killed it in the first place. I would only buy a re-master for a new ending but BioWare are still in denial about it being an artistic statement and not the travesty that it is.

In truth the series doesn't need a re-master or a new ending, it needs a new game with stellar writing, a significantly more expressive dialogue system and the production values of Anthem.

Prior joke aside, I actually would prefer that the series be left behind.

As I get older (don't let my picture fool you) I'm beginning to understand that not all things should be continued beyond their time.

Star Wars would have been much better if the last thing to ever be released was the original version of Return of the Jedi. No prequels, no sequels, no nothing. And I love Lawrence Kasdan and would watch the new movies if he was the writer and director of all of them (but I'm not interested in J.J. "My beginnings are awesome but my endings suck" Abrams writing and directing everything.)

WKRP was eight episodes of the most perfect sitcom to exist before the 1990s. Then the network dragged it's creative energy into the "moral of the week cookie-cutter" nonsense that tarnished the greatness of its perfection.

Ghostbusters? I should stop before I'm accused of being a misogynist for suggesting that remaking near-perfect comedies is arrogant and dumb.

Actually I should just stop. Lots of things are cool when they're continued in the right way, and there's no way to predict what that will be until it happens. But if you've already screwed the pooch when trying to artificially extend something, it's probably better to let it lie and move on to something new.



Or, rather, me.

So you stopped saying exoplanet science wasn't real, and switched to saying that it was useless. And lots of other inaccurate claims. You moved the goalposts so many times during that conversation that you failed to notice that each time you did, I provided more scientific information that proved you hadn't moved the goalposts enough to be right.

And you're still trying to move the goalposts into some place that will make your claims right.

Well, whatever floats your boat. The science is still real, and you still have no idea what you're talking about. I'd recommend that you do some research, but given the resources I already provided that you rejected over nonsense like "unmeasured surface gravity," it's pretty clear it wouldn't matter what evidence I provided for you, you would reject it and move the goalposts again.

What you you mean?

I just finished my 2nd and possibly last playthrough of Andromeda. I replayed it to see if maybe i just missed something or just maybe something was off...nope..the characters still suck and and the story was still un-inspired. That said, ....throughout the game i still stopped and just admired the art-direction and design...especially towards the end there within those vaults at Meridian...just stunning visuals.

I think a 2nd game in Andromeda is feasible and can be decades better than Andromeda if the writing is better..... and Ryder is just lame as a character...his supposed inspirational speeches towards the end of the game falls flat and doesn't command any type of respect.

I would bring the team back that was the artists for this game tho....i mean i criticize the writing and character development, but the artists REALLY cared about their visuals and design here....the armor sets was incredibly impressive and detailed down to the small lettering you could see engraved on certain armor sets.

There is still a lot of mystery to be discovered within Andromeda as far as the Jardaan is concerned and i think they should move away from the "exaltation" with the Kett since it feels too much like what the Reaper's was doing in the Milky Way...nothing about the kett makes them feel like a threat seen in the Reapers or Collectors and the Archon himself was a very generic "twirly mustache" villain...

If they continue the Ryder story story, then they have to replace his voice actor, and make overall improvements to him as a character because even when Ryder was trying to sound aggressive or assertive, he still came across as a wuss or as if other squadmates would look at him and say..."really...lol wut?"....not turn him into Shepard 2.0, but at least somebody that folks can somewhat respect....dude seemed like he didn't have an ounce of backbone throughout the entire game.

Better writers, a darker story and better character development needs to be seen for the next game.

And I still don't see how the stories or characters are bad...
