Mass Effect Andromeda: Why You Should And Shouldn’t Be Concerned About This Game

ThisGenGaming says "It was announced that ME: Andromeda will be released in North America on March 21, and The EU on the 23, and along with that news came a game play video. As soon as the video dropped folks were picking it apart, commenting the models didn’t look right, and also commenting on the in game menus. I have watched the video several times, and it looks fine to me, but to each their own. In regards to the menus I’m not surprised they revamped the UI, this is the first game in the series for this generation of consoles I fully expected it."

Mass Effect did have some issues with combat and elevators, but many gamers enjoyed the RPG elements. Improvements are welcome, but what Bioware/EA has done is strip away much of what fans of the original game were drawn to.
I disagree with the author in regards to games needing to evolve. It is important to make improvements where they are needed, such as improving the combat as seen in ME2 & 3, but when the developer changes the lore, and botches the ending, then I don't see this as 'evolving'. Mass Effect: Andromeda looks even less like Mass Effect from what has been shown. I might be in the minority here, but I would've loved to have played ME 2&3 if they had stayed as 'the same old thing'.

MAULxx3091d ago

I could not have said it better myself.

ZeekQuattro3091d ago (Edited 3091d ago )

I'm concerned at anything EA is involved with. They are known to mess things up.

Tankbusta403091d ago

I am not worried, I have been saying Bioware makes good games, even the two that were so so (DA2 and Inquisition) were worth a play through. I didn't so much mind 3's ending because the lead up was so wonderful.

3-4-53091d ago

I want the feeling of the first game back.....something special about that game.....2 was pretty good and 3 was ok but 1 was the best IMO.

Summons753091d ago

I'm very concerned. They promised going back to being an RPG and then they show a game with zero rpg in it...and I thought you couldn't get less RPG after the trash that was ME3 :/ We'll never see our beloved Space Opera ME1 had going for it again.

I hope Mass Effect 4 ignores the inferior prequels and instead closely follows the far superior Mass Effect: Andromeda and Dragon Age Inquisition.

anast161d ago (Edited 161d ago )

Mass Effect 4 should just make Mass Effect 1 but better with current tech. Fans would be happy. As far as romance, they should take notes from the Witcher and Cyberpunk.

Ristul161d ago

Later Bioware games have to little build up. You can have a normal conversation and all of a sudden BAM! The character you talk to becomes super flirty.

TricksterArrow161d ago

Reminds me of Baldur’s Gate. I wanted to practice some magic and Gale made it super weird. Not even gonna mention Astarion.

gold_drake161d ago (Edited 161d ago )

iii dunno about that.

the only really great and funny dating partner, is that outlaw guy anyways haha he was funny as hell.

other than that, i found every character to be very annoying.

ZeekQuattro161d ago

Shout out to Keri the Asari reporter. Current relationship status be damned as she's game either way. Anything for a good story. 🤣

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast203d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine203d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast203d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman203d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast202d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman202d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

BioWare Thinks Mass Effect Andromeda Was Better Game Than Reception Suggested

BioWare thinks Mass Effect: Andromeda was a better game than what reception suggested; taught the studio not to shoehorn open-world without any meaningful content in it.

thorstein238d ago

I played it and it wasn't as bad as people said. Is it in the 8-10 range? No.

It's a 6-7, which means it's a solid game.

LordoftheCritics238d ago (Edited 238d ago )

Veilguard and Andromeda are of similar level to me.
6 to 6.5 ish

Though I think i enjoyed Andromeda's combat and sense of scale a little bit more.

XBManiac237d ago

Veilguard has better graphics.

neutralgamer1992238d ago

I agree with you It was a 6.5 type game. Gameplay was solid everything else was lacking. Playing at launch with all the issues was just absurd. EA could have let the developers keep patching and fix the game but they stopped just like they did with anthem. It’s crazy to think multi billion dollar publishers can’t afford to keeping patching their games get medium size developers can support the game for years

But when you have android wilson running the company what else can we expect.

OtterX238d ago

Except 6-7 doesn't translate as solid. 6 means a bit flimsy, but still good/enjoyable if you can look past the flaws. 7, a little less flimsy, and enjoyable. 8-10 would be "solid".

But I get your point. I skipped the game entirely, so I don't have an opinion on it.

H9238d ago

I played this game back when I wanted to give every game I bought a fair chance and finish it, it was the reason why I stopped doing so, god the game was bad

TheNamelessOne238d ago

I actually enjoyed Andromeda. It wasn't a 10/10, by any means, but I played it years after the fact, after a lot of patching, and I had a good time with it.

anast237d ago

Same, I enjoyed it too. I might even replay it soon.

TheNamelessOne237d ago

Might do the same, honestly. Went through the trilogy a couple months back.

raWfodog237d ago

I liked it as well, and also played it for the first time over a year after it was released. The original trilogy was a better story overall IMO but I still enjoyed Andromeda.

lellkay238d ago

The game is so unbelivably bad, it's laughable.

pwnmaster3000238d ago (Edited 238d ago )

It really wasn’t. Well for me nd I’m a big fan of the series.
Was it mass effect standard? No
But overall I thought it was a decent game.
6-7/10.

Armaggedon237d ago

You might want to try playing a truly bad game. Go boot up two worlds or gollum to get the perspective you need

MatrixxGT237d ago

Wow, two worlds…red ringed my 360.

Armaggedon237d ago

Lol. Its one of the only games that I have experienced buyers remorse with. The only one I can think of is riders Republic.

matt139238d ago

So delusional, the title was an embarrassment to the original trilogy. it’s the equivalent of 2042 to the battlefield franchise.

thorstein237d ago

2042 had a redemption arc and what exists now is a pretty good FPS.
