The level of toxicity in this thread is overwhelming, though that should be no surprise given this site was birthed from the community of an equally toxic site. Welcome to the BSN.

I've played The Witcher trilogy, frankly I found it boring and very repetitive with the worst combat I have ever experienced for that type of game, so let me guess I'm playing the game wrong.

How about stealing from other BioWare games? Like having more variety with its set piece music to give certain sequences its own sort of identity, perhaps even themes for each companion, similarly to ME2. Like stealing the option to have a 3-way like in Jade Empire?

This is the last thing you want to do. Bethesda games are big but they are also empty, you can wonder for hors before finding something that isn't classified as a "fetch quest". Of course the main reason for that is that they expect the game to get filled up by user created content (many people buy Bethesda games for the user created content not the actual game, hell I have never finished an Elder Scrolls game because I keep finding better and more interesting things made by the community). Plus Bethesda games tend to be extremely glitchy to the point that again the players have to step in and fix the game for them. I'd say there's an issue with the player themself if it takes hours to find something not fetch quest related cause the game has tons of quests that aren't like that. Regardless, I'd rather bioware try to be bioware rather than do what 98% of mostdevs do with the copy and borrowing off each other. Creativity is lost at that point, and that's where a game will start to faulter. Not really. I went in a random direction in Skyrim and got: - Mission to recover an item. - Kill X amount of enemies - Harvest a certain amount of mineral or hide - Find this person - Go to point A then report your findings to point B It is there. What Bioware should do is not listen to the fans and make the game they want to make as most of the problems seem to stem from them trying to make the game to appeal to certain parts of the fanbase or as general a fanbase as they can.

As I said in the appropriate thread, if they go open world, steal from Bethesda in creating the illusion of this worlds being alive. Also steal from them in making their NPCs move. This is the last thing you want to do. Bethesda games are big but they are also empty, you can wonder for hors before finding something that isn't classified as a "fetch quest". Of course the main reason for that is that they expect the game to get filled up by user created content (many people buy Bethesda games for the user created content not the actual game, hell I have never finished an Elder Scrolls game because I keep finding better and more interesting things made by the community).

I kind of feel like Andromeda was forced just because people didn't want to say good bye to Mass Effect. So what you are saying is that Bioware isn't responsible for Andromeda, the fans are.........

This is why it's hard to take people who criticize Andromeda seriously. So everyone criticizing the game is basically on the same level as this troll having 3 posts to his rather telling username. That's as stupid an assumption as these troll posts. By calling this guy a Troll, you are insulting Trolls everywhere and I think you should apologies as they at least put a little thought into there trolling.

Screw Andromeda, your choices make no impact whatsoever. And on the other hand Horizon is a perfect RPG. Then go play Horizon, why spend all your time hear unless? Unless you have absolutely no life and this is the only way you can justify your existence........ which is quite sad and you have my sympathy.

No as Shepard's story is done and trying to bring the character back in a new game (that is not a reboot) would just appear as a desperation move.

I have a GeForce GTX 1050 TI 4GB and I haven't had any issues. Only time I had frame stutter was when the hard drive needed to work during a scene transition but in game it's been fine.

Broken game? really? Broken means being unable to even start it. There are developers out there who have games that can be used as a text-book definition of broken who wish they could make a game like Andromeda.

I would like to see a DLC were a VI construct managed to upload itself on the the Arks and then attacks SAM which sends the pathfinder into a deep coma. When the Pathfinder wakes they find that they are in a hospital on the Citadel back on the Milky Way post Reaper war.
The doctors begin explaining that you have been in a coma for several years due to the implants your father made and that they caused a massive brain hemorrhage that needed some time to fully heal, you then learn about the success of the Mily Way against the Reapers and are asked to help with rebuilding is some form based on which sibling you picked. After some confusion they explain that your "adventures" in Andromeda was a dream state you were put in so you could heal better during the recovery process. You then later meet all the people from Andromeda (squad included) living there "real" lives, but there is this thing nagging you in the back of your mind that something is wrong.
Each time you start questioning reality though something happens to distract you: A Batarian attack that needs to be stopped, A Geth infiltration, then an attack by the gangs from the Terminus systems. But then when things are at there lowest a lone figure steps from the billowing smoke of battle...... Shepard. Then as the enemies are confused a shot fires from the upper riggings taking out the second in command to the Gang, looking up you spot Garrus who signals the rest of the team to attack. After the fight you come face to face with Shepard (This part I would find a way to import your save from Mass Effect 3 - easy to do on PC/doable but more tricky on console - so you can have yout own Shepard and even there LI to make it more authentic).
But despite all this you still feel something is wrong, you still notice slight inconsistencies, that something is trying to guide you down a certain path...... then your friends begin to attack, one by one they turn on you believing that the implant is still giving SAM the ability to take over you and control you. One by one you a forced to fight, only pausing when you are forced faced to face with you LI. In the end only you remain among a trail of bodies of the people you care about and then you finally hear SAM... but just barely. He tries to explain what is really happening but you can't fully make it out when you are confronted by Shepard demanding to know why you could turn on everyone like this. A huge speech begins about how all this is on your head, all the attacks, the chaos, all the death because you joined your mind with an AI - a symbiosis that goes against all council space laws and even moral codes. However you start pointing out how SAM has helped you, which Shepard states was all in your mind during your coma, memories planted there to make you accept SAM.
As the dialogue goes on though you start to point out problems in Shepard's arguments (even some 4th wall breaks stating that what Shepard said isn't actually what happenned in your MET playthrough) and then things start getting dark, Shepard's Squad stands around you, all motionless, all becoming pale and encased in a dark fog...... and then you hear a single voice come from all of them........ Harbinger. you learn that the Reapers discovered the Arks on there flight through the relays just at the end of known space in the Milky way and they sent a single fragment code into the Ark just before it went to FTL towards Andromeda and it has been monitoring everything that has happened. After gaining enough hold of the systems of the Ark it finally launched an attack on SAM and then linked up with your implant and now plans to begin the harvest here in Andromeda, to begin the cycles that have plagued to Milky Way for countless millennia and begins to take control of your physical form.
However SAM intercedes at the last moment giving you the freedom to fight the Reaper code, but first you must fight Shepard and his team. You take on Shepards Squad one by one - running from section to section of the Citadel - trying to separate them to give you an edge, during this time you remember that this is a Dream scape, your Dream Scape, and you begin to assert your control of the landscape - shaping it to help you and by the end you use your power to bring Shepard and one the team over to your side (Shepard's LI if you import) and together you fight and destroy the Reaper Code.
everything then begins to fade into nothingness, you have a small conversation with Shepard and the LI, and then they slowly fade away with Shepard throwing a salute and say Anderson would be proud, everything goes white..... and then you wake on the Nexus.

Bioware Montreal can still do the DLC as you don't need a full team for this since the DLC is just building on what is already there.

I would put the blame on them to listening to fans and "fans".
There was a lot of demands being made of them and they probably wanted to appease the fanbase after the death threats and hyperbole they received from 5 minutes of a game people still seem to can't get over and move on from.
They tried to play it safe in an attempt to appease everyone (make the game bigger like Skyrim, give more to do, etc etc..... seriously go back to the official forums and look at the comments from the time it's insane. One guy demanded that they remade the entire trilogy to make Kaiden a Gay only love interest removing even the major crisis moment that molded his character) they ended up with a Jack of all Trades but it could not master any of them because of it.
Add to that it was being done by a team that was still new to the IP and a lot of veterans had left (I don't care the reasons they gave, but the abuse they were getting from the fans was clearly a tipping point).
In the end you end up with an overall good game with some problems but one that the fanbase just totally desecrated because it wasn't beyond the perfection that they had built in there minds that no one could have met.
Frankly the moral to the story is ignore everyone else and make the game the way you want to make it, that's how a lot of games that are held in high regard have been made.
Sorry if this came off as harsh but honestly there are times I feel that Bioware just has the worst fans from the way they are treated.

Odd, if every game going on sale about six weeks after release indicates something bad, I guess all the games released so far this year have been bad. I have seen Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier on sale for at least 25% off. This is actually becoming an industry trend. A lot of games (even Triple A titles) are starting to get 20%-30% price cuts just a few weeks after release. Have read that this could be a publisher attempting to pad shipped/sold numbers for the game before the fiscal Quarter is up.

Well in defense the writer of that book didn't research the ME universe very well. Then who edited it? The same people that did that quality assurance testing on Andromeda? Don't think so, the book wouldn't have been THAT bad if it was. However if the people doing the editing just saw it as a tie-in book for a quick buck that would make sense as I have read many books like these adapted from games and even movies were it is obvious that the writer or Editor did not research the source material enough to the point were the book contradicts something in the original game of movie. A different take also is the novelization of the original Gabriel Knight game (which was written by the game's creator by the way). In the book a number of things were changed from how you sneaked into the police station (minor change) to the dream Gabriel has were he is tested (very major change as the context is completely different). It was written by the games creator but for some reason she made some odd changes that could have worked in the novelization, plus when she remade the game for the 20th Anniversary she put the changes of the book into the game (which really through me off when I was playing it)

You do know nobody reads books anymore right? Its why bookstores dont exist outside Zimbabwe. I tried reading Deception. I kind of got lost in it and gave up. A few weeks later, I'm reading that fans wanted to recall Deception because of a few passages. The whole book was pretty disjointed even after they called out the inconsistencies. So... no... I won't be buying the books. I'm probably cheating myself, but no. Well in defense the writer of that book didn't research the ME universe very well.

I swear Bioware has the only fan base that will only be happy with there total failure and destruction. BioWare didn't try hard enough and it shows. Blame BioWare for making a mediocre game. Counter point though. Many other developers had games that didn't quite meet expectations and there fans aren't demanding the developer be ground zero of a bomb drop.

"All said and done, Andromeda's Legacy for the Mass Effect Franchise is one of fans spewing hyperbole as fact, SJW garbage that isn't even there, and an overall good game being destroyed by players despite the fact there are much, much, much, much worse games out there" Okay I fixed the thread for you. I find it very unelegant to "fix" someone else's post. Apparently you missed the smiley emote indicating it was a joke. Should I use Elcor prefixes to make it more obvious?
