This game is a dlc setup

My biggest problem with the game is how it just leaves everything open and nothing is solved. I like this game but everything about does feel like "buy the DLC or next game to see what happens"

Everything open? Nothing solved? :smh:

So? I bet people would be complaining if they didn't mention the Quarians or that there wasn't any real ties to future content.

It is standard in a BioWare game not to fully wrap up story lines for either future games or DLC, not sure why it has become an issue now.

Huh? The main issues that were raised at the start such as "no habitable planets to survive with" seems to have been solved.

No way they would have passed up on additional revenue "now" from a season pass if they have massive DLC plans for this game.

Quarian Ark is the only SP content that comes to mind, maybe Jien Garson murder and some cosmetic stuff. Everything else would be continued in the sequel.

It's not like they're chopping out the final mission and selling it as DLC. It's already in the game with an epilogue.

How is it being shoved down our throats if there hasn't even been any DLC yet? Andromeda isn't pulling day one DLC like ME3 so I'll take it. I still count on them adding DLC for Andromeda at some point, and my speculation is they'll be aimed at the Ryder family/jien Garson and the mystery benefactor, the quarian ark, and maybe one Angarans/kett themed DLC. if that doesn't happen then expect to see them in the sequal game.

Hell, we haven't even had a season pass either, Andromeda is much more consumer friendly than the last two games, so I don't feel like dlc is being forced on us.

They left the stories unfinished like Jardaan, reasons of leaving the Milky way etc. I mean you learn that everyone in The Milky Way could be dead but it stops there or Angara were created by some higher race and noone bats an eye, noone wonders where Jardaan went or if Scource is related to it really. This game has very good story elements but all has left for DLCs rather than concluding them in the base game.
If you want to make a DLC you should make it a seperate story but still tied to the plot, not bait players in game. This makes the game feel unfinished

It gave them a metacritic of 7/10 so, lessons learned: "Don't shove non-existent storytelling in the main game down reviewers's throats"

True. What we need are:

1) Day one DLC introducing a major character that had a bearing on the main story
2) A DLC that fills in huge plot holes missing from the main story mission
3) A DLC to rewrite the culmination of the story and to fill in more plotholes
4) some outfit DLC
5) a DLC that bridges to the next game cramming in the setup for that game whilst simultaneously rewriting the lore and introducing another plothole

Then it would feel like Mass Effect.

Don't forget 6) George A. Romero's The Night of the Floating Dead Cora DLC

(that was you, right? Laughed my ass off at that one)

Defending the quality of MEA by describing lack of quality in the trilogy is an interesting approach.

What's the quality of ME:A got to do with it? I'm pointing out that the DLC history of Mass Effect is not exactly great (and yet people still sucked it up), so I don't know why people are surprised if DLC does come, nor what it contains.

The quality of ME:A is neither here nor there.

I'm not debating whether the game is finished or not as that wasn't my point. Nevertheless you'll find I agree that it's unfinished, but for the jaardan that can be expanded on in the sequal game as I don't think a 20 hour DLC expansion is enough for that.

Actually I think they are world building on this one.

I highly doubt everything will be released or answered via DLC

The thing is none of those things deal with the premise of Andromeda which is to find a new home and get established so we can sustain ourselves. There have been plenty of things in the prior games that weren't solved by the end of the games either and people weren't complaining needing to buy a $60 game to learn more.

I remember an early conversion with Tann that had me rolling my eyes at how obvious the DLC bait was.

On that note, while I hate the very idea of micro-transactions, I'm okay with DLC so long as it is worth the pricetag. For the record, very few EA DLCs are worth the pricetag. That includes all of the original trilogy's DLC, though LotSB comes close.
