People said DA:I flopped to. Some of them still say it, like maybe this game will under perform sales wise but there is no indication of that for anyone being honest with themselves.

I want a remaster so badly for a simple reason: controller support. I still have my Xbox but would much rather play on PC with enhanced textures. But I'm too dumb for mouse and keyboard after decades of console gaming. Really there is no controller support for Mass Effect? Auch. Well time to git gud! I know thats not helpful, but i got nothing else.

Well, this hyperbole is something to see. Kind of amazing. MEA is showing up as the number one seller during it's first week of release and no one knows what the online numbers are. The statement that sales are poor is not a statement one can make with any degree of certainty. As for completely remaking a 5 year old game...hah. Good one. EA never publishes numbers outside of investors reports and even then its all about revenue. True. The only solid numbers you're going to see are the sales number from brick and mortar retailers.

This just in! Random internet user turned corporate strategist has caused a clamoring at EA! Now, Bioware is ditching all future Mass Effect development including Mass Effect DLCs, which are already made anyway (AMIRITE?), to remaster the original trilogy with minor edits in a plan EA calls, "Easy Peasy."

Even Destiny is getting a sequel, I don't think mass effect needs to be "saved" To be fair, Destiny sold like hotcakes: lots and lots of millions sold. I'm the biggest optimist there is when it comes to Mass Effect, but even I'm worried about what EA are thinking in their money grubbing minds right now. I swear, if Mass Effect gets mothballed like Deus Ex, I'll fucking riot (real talk).

It baffles me that people are still having aneurysm over the endings. The extended cut fixed any glaring issues and Citadel DLC provided much needed closure. Sure, the whole "AIs extreme measures to stop the AIs" plot has been beat to death, but the ending was at least serviceable. There's beating a dead hourse then there's tying it to a nuke and launching it at the sun; I'll let you guess which one I think you're doing.

Rework the whole of priority Earth, make it the Suicide Mission 2.0 it should have been, and make the ending more pleasant. Let people be happy. And after all these years of people telling me that unhappiness wasn't the problem... As for the proposal, what price point are we looking at? I might pay $20 for a remaster if it included all DLCs. ( The reworked ending is likely of zero or even negative value for me, but in any event it's something I'd YouTube rather than buy.)

Bioware makes my favorite games but don't put it up against Zelda and Horizon.

Drew Karpyshyn, perhaps? He was still involved with ME2, I think. At least the writing part should be good.

He is back at Bioware again, but he is working on some unknown project down in the Austin department. You know Kotor III! You heard it here first folks! Did you read his take on the Mass Effect ending and how he would have gone about doing it? Its a good read - www.pcgamer.com/mass-effect-3-series-former-lead-writer-reveals-original-ending-ideas/

Bioware makes my favorite games but don't put it up against Zelda and Horizon. I know right!! Far out, the timing was horrific - EA should have delayed the game, regardless of where it was at, for a more attractive launch window. Releasing right after juggernauts like Horizon and Zelda was very, very stupid: and I think it's hurt the game far more than the game deserves. I'm really enjoying my time in Andromeda, 50 hours in and constantly finding things I love, but just as many I don't....I would love to see a hugely improved sequel in a few years: I'm pretty sure it should be all good....but there's just that inkling in my mind that makes me worry for my beloved Mass Effect :/ Deus Ex getting the shaft by SE recently has made me extremely wary of these types of things

I don't see how doing a remaster and offering nothing new helps. Can't say that I even see the issue, I don't view Andromeda as a falling point for the franchise, and I actually see it as real progression since ME1.
Your issue seems to be you're not happy, so why not bitch and condemn the franchise instead of picking other games, its kind of why there are options in the industry you know? Bioware shouldn't be letting the fans dictate their game, we're only here to help guide them but that's it.

As I said in the OP, I don't mind the endings. But it's clear for everyone that it has tainted the trilogy. There is always a "but" lingering there when people talk about it. Fixing that would be a good step after the disaster that Andromeda was to win back some credibility.
Also, when I said, way back in E3 2016, that Andromeda was having a troubled development, that the lack of gameplay videos highlighted problems and were not a marketing decision, people thought I was jumping the gun as well.

Even a happier ending doesn't let you continue in the Milky Way -- I'm not even sure a happier ending helps with that. You'd need to either restructure ME3 altogether or pick a canon ending. What's your plan?

So Andromeda became a joke, isn't selling well and its lasting lagacy will be of a broken game. TL;TR: "Fast way to make your opinion irrelevant - unsupported facts. Easy peasy".

It's true but most of the people I know refunded it (including me), they will probably make Destiny 2 better because they leared from past mistakes just like Bioware so you won't need to riot I think

Yes! I still defend his vision for the ending to this day. No, those endings would be even worse than what we got. Ha, if that's even possible. "We have tried a form of synthesis in the past, but it has always failed." "Why?" "Because organics were not ready. It's not something that can be forced. You are ready, and you may choose it." WTF Yes! I still defend his vision for the ending to this day. I never saw how that version was any better than what we got. Well, it was never implemented. Unknown reasons for doing what they do, as Sovereign stated (Dark energy, which we still don't really understand, and could lead to the end of the universe, by Karpyshyn version) - Trying to stop synthetics from killing organics (which we can understand very well). Immortal and eternal beings trying to stop the universe from ending - A simply very advanced AI that was programmed to save life, and killed everyone advanced enough that could be in the way, including their creators. And it doesn't see the contradiction. "Okay, I didn't rebelled, I just did exactly what my creators were trying to avoid in order to save future generations, so I'm still following orders." I can see very clearly which is better. I won't derail the thread any further. Let's stay on topic.
