We need cut EA and Bioware some slack

I'm sorry but BioWare has shown a remarkable degree of keeping their word.  They promised they'd make changes to the ending and improve upon it.  They did...granted it took a rather herculean effort...but they did.  (3 DLCs, two of them paid).  They promised they'd make changes and improvements to DA I, and they did.  The DLCs took an already great game and turned it into something truly legendary and the patches added and changed a lot of things I personally thought were unneccessary but were nice flavor changes.  And they have promised that they will make changes to MEA, given the vast improvement patch 1.05 made to an already great game I am looking forward to further patches.  Yes if they cancel further patches and EA or BioWare decides to justr cut their losses with Andromeda I wll be shaken and my trust will be damaged a little.  Just like my trust was shaken when they canceled the MP event.  But so far BioWare has a track record of keeping their word.  If you do not agree with the quality of some of their changes that is on you, but they have generally done what they said they are going to do, and they generally listen to fan critiques...too much sometimes imo.  

Now if your trust is shaken in BioWare because you personally feel they no longer deliver quality products, that is on you.  But its a matter of personal preference rather then BioWare not keeping their word.

They mapped it out though. Perhaps you need patience before you claim lack of urgency.

If were having this conversation in September, then you might have a point. But not two weeks out.

I have had very few bugs on my PC (just a few random things). So bugs aren't the issue for me.

The lifeless story, boring characters, and overall yawn-fest that the game turned out to be is my gripe.

I have watched PG-13 movies that are more emotionally mature than this sad lump of a game. Boobies + cusswords do not equal mature, imo. It felt like a 14-year old kids idea of a "grown-up" story. Even the outlaws were boring.

But it's cool. If this is the route they wanna take in their games, and it has an audience of folk who dig more lighthearted, easing-going narratives, then I am fine with it. There is a whole world of games out there to play, so I am seriously not even bitter about it.

I do want to know what happens with the dangling plot threads, but I'll wait before buying the next game. I will be sure to come here and read the posts from folks whose insight I trust before purchasing and I won't pre-order. Easy-peasy. Problem solved. No need to hate Bioware/EA because I personally don't like the direction they are going.


Edited to add - Jaysus...you guys are being  really mean to one another about the bugs. Chill out, eh? (slinking out before it gets worse in here...)

Honestly, it's not worth the time to post there.  I think EA has a big fail when it comes to helping people out who are experiencing problems.  They don't respond to these posts for the most part. The only way to get any sort of help is a chat or phone call.  The forum is only good if a solution was found by someone and that person was kind enough to share said solution.  It's just as likely you'll find a solution on BSN than there.  Maybe more likely finding it here.

I haven't seen anyone in this thread be a drama queen about bugs.

There are more than a couple of bugs in this game. Some of them being game breaking as they either crash the game or prevent progression of the main story line.

People who have had more than the occasional rare crash or experience a bug that causes them to have to repeat several hours of game play to get around or worse, have to replay the entire game (what if the one poster who had their saves disappear hadn't been able to recover an old save?), have every right to be angry that their game doesn't work right and to post about it in such a manner that gets their anger across provided it doesn't break the rules of the location they post.


And just to clear the air, I'm one of the lucky ones who hasn't experienced more than maybe one or two glitches. But I realize that sometimes it's a certain combination of things that have to happen to trigger a glitch and maybe I just didn't meet those criteria. Or it's due to a certain combination of hardware and/or software that causes the problem.

No I just play games for two decades now and I know what a total disaster looks like.
Mass Effect Andromeda is no Daikatana, not even close. 

Agreed. 

Double agreed.  Having different opinions is the whole point of a forum, but name calling and insults are just uncalled for.

Personally, I save the insults for those that are willfully ignorant. My recent responses were justified.

Apples and Oranges. One scenario is a life or death situation.

The other is about a video game where the company got your money already.

They don't owe you anything in the latter, while the other owes you their attention in the former.

And if someone is unsatisfied with the product they bought for, the customers have a right to be pissed off with the quality of said product.
