No wonder Casey Hudson left. This game is missing them sc-fi feels.

Quitting because you can't handle criticism is a deep character flaw and he probably knew EA would devour him eventually. I also don't think he just quit, to relieve himself of the bad media. He's a charismatic guy with a lot of creative vision. He probably already had an offer from Microsoft already waiting for him. If I was a rival tech company, I would be filling my ranks with the brand-name individuals like Hudson to lead. And Terminator... I miss them. They were the nicest, most approachable people that were in the most introverted community that they lived in. Dude, I saw a Bioware badge and beers were on me. Just to sit down and listen to them talk shop was really cool. Same cool as getting a hug from New York Yankees slugger Reggie Jackson because I was one of those dumb six year-olds that didn't have something to autograph. I still remember the smell of the Jerri-curl spray on his neck. 1978. Fast forward to 6th street in Austin, and I'm at the same table as six developers who worked on KoTOR MMO RPG. 2014.

I can't say much about the new Bioware. How can I? The official forums, closed. I'm not on Twitter or Facebook, so that avenue is closed. However, I am still surrounded by Bioware fans here. Whether they're disappointed with the new direction or praising it... Bioware still has two of my four beloved franchises. I've already given up on Bethesda to give me a compelling storyline and I want Randy Pitchford of Gearbox crucified upside down for killing of Brothers in Arms. Bioware, still has *it*, but damn if I'm not going to say they can do better. 

I'm not politically correct. I will say what I feel from the heart. If it sounds like I'm shaming them... it's because I am. However, I will knock someone the fuck out if they cross the line. I've already had my say with a few YouTubers that had no business dragging Sam Maggs into the mud. I also hate being disrespected as a customer. $75 is nothing to me, but when you give me something fundamentally broken, you're never... ever... going to stop hearing about it. 

  
We'll let's look at Omega dlc and compare it to Omega rip off in Andromeda. Despite being badly written, the sci-fi feels atmosphere were strong with Omega dlc. Meanwhile Sloane's place did nothing for me and she's a cheap Aria knockoff to boot.

Next the planets. Even the cheap off world planets in ME1 were rich in sci-fi feels and that you really felt lIke on the moon and such. In Andromeda, nothing and fake feeling.

How about the music? Remember Garrus' mission in ME1 where you guys finally track the mad sci-fi feels doctor and when you finally arrive at his ship, the music and atmosphere is sci-fi feels excellence? Meanwhile the music in Andromeda you don't even notice, let alone feel anything from it.

Writing stuff I'll use Garrus again in the story he told in ME1 about the doctor. Or that feeling and revelations when your arive and explore Collector or Reaper ship and everything that transpires there. What do we get in Andromeda? Why space magic scanner that can see the dead chatting in the past and reincarnation hocus pocus. And an alien ship that don't even feel alien or anything at all.
 

Truth. Fickleness has always been strong in the BSN.

I wouldn't be surprised if people hated ME1 and DA:O for being a Babylon 5 and a Dragonslayer rip-off respectfully.

It is an old tale:
People hated ME2 when it came out for not being like ME1.

People hated ME3 when it came out for the endings then suddenly liked ME2.

People hate ME:A because it's not like ME3 and they now suddenly like it.

People hated DA2 because it wasn't like DA:O.

People hated DA:I because it wasn't like DA2 and now suddenly they like it.


I wouldn't be surprised if people hated ME1 and DA:O for being a Babylon 5 and a Dragonslayer rip-off respectfully.

I prominence you that the same damn people will hate DA4 and ME:A2 (if they're made) will then suddenly like DA:I and ME:A.

The problem with this kind of argument is that feels are, by nature, highly subjective. I didn't have the same ones that Terminator Force did (might have for Omega, but I never bought the DLC,)

Well that's nice that you do, but I and others dont.

Also, can you agree that the sci-fi feels of OT are missing in Andromeda?

That is what you get when society swaps intuition for emotion and individualism with egoism and think it produces mature individuals. When you get those collective baggage thrown at you, you run fast and hard.

Casey got a lot of "emotional baggage" thrown at him masquerading as criticisms. The ending was personal for many players and not seen as a bad/good ending of a digital game. Emotions swept very high and was all but benign.

Collective emotions are underestimated when aimed at one person. It must be detrimental for ones health. I don't blame him for leaving and don't think he is a coward for doing so. I wish him the best.

The OT also had sci-fi feels as well. It was more Star Trek/Star Wars feeling to me though. Basically the Star Trek/Star Wars is a more serious kind of sci-fi like Blade Runner while Farscape, Firefly, Andromeda is more a tongue in cheek kind of sci-fi. More about the fun journey then anything else.

Serious question. Is Babylon 5 a slow show? I want to watch it since it is one of the few sci-fi shows I haven't scene, but if it is like a the Battlestar Galactica remake, I don't know if I can take the slowness.
