Should of been released before the game launched

KillZallthebeast2488d ago

nonsense then the game would of bombed

KillZallthebeast2488d ago

1 million units in it's first week is hardly bombing. It sold less than its predecessors, but made more than enough money.

I'm not going to be more cautious, the game was freaking amazing and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

A bunch of people with their panties in a twist because a few characters have wonky facial animations did not affect my opinion of the game.

I just don't get all the criticisms. People just went nuts over little stuff and hated on a perfectly good game.

I loved the story, loved the characters, and it felt just like a new Mass Effect should feel, getting to know all these great crewmates and forming bonds with them along the way.

Seriously, one of my favorite games of recent years.

Don't believe the hate if you haven't played it yourself.

Yes, but at least it's getting a demo at all.

no_more_heroes2488d ago

Is it worth giving it a go? I was excited for this until it came to light how shoddy it was. I still kinda want to give it a shot if it got fixed to enough of a degree, but has it really?

Mr-Dude2488d ago

Try it, it is free... I have the full game. Although it isn't as good as the trilogy, I am enjoying myself

Razzer2488d ago

I bought it 3 or 4 weeks ago for $30. No issues at all. Very good game.

Sam Fisher2488d ago

For 30$, you juat said it. 60$ Hella no

Summons752488d ago

"No issues at all"...you haven't played it at all

Razzer2488d ago (Edited 2488d ago )

Summons75, don't talk shit. Of course I have played it. Why would I be talking about this game if I hadn't played it? When was the last time you played it? Cuz there have a ton of patches since it launched.

UnHoly_One2487d ago (Edited 2487d ago )

I played it right after it got it's first patch and I never encountered a single crash or glitch that I can remember.

Played it start to finish twice. No issues.

Oh wait, I take that back, one time I couldn't get a door to open on my ship, but I reloaded and then it was fine.

That was once, in 150 or more hours.

Don't believe the bullmess about this game being full of glitches, it is not.

I was on Xbox One, FYI.

Eonjay2488d ago

So... It's not really Bioware, its mostly EA for forcing it.

_-EDMIX-_2488d ago

I don't really know how to answer that to be honest.

I'm so busy with work that I just don't really have the time. I never got to complete breath of the Wild, I've yet to finish Yakuza 0, heck I've yet to even start Nier. Because everything has been hectic in regards to business I just haven't got the time and I thought had I had completed some of the games I purchased earlier this year I would have some time from Mass Effect.

I personally can't justify purchasing it right now with so many other games unfinished, but almost everyone on my friends list has recommended it and has told me it's actually still a very solid game.

I mean look at it this way if you buy it used for twenty bucks what's really the harm?

leoms2488d ago

I am on my second playthrough. The game is very good. Play the demo and see what you think.

rainslacker2488d ago

People seem to think the game play is alright. Most of the criticisms are from the animations and lack of depth to the characters. The actual game play seemed to get much less notice in the media and forums.

shabz6662487d ago

I finally finished it in 70hours. The game is infuriatingly stretched thin. It's a collection fest. Go there and grab that. Load times are insane and quests are on different planets making iit longer to finish. Characters are not that interesting either but that is subjective. I feel that this game doesn't deserve any attention given to it but it is still a mass effect and it's the only one we'll get. Buy this used and marked down. Coz paying full price for this thing is insane.

UnHoly_One2487d ago

I have read that complaint before about quests making you hop around to different planets but I don't remember that ever being an issue.

I know it happens, but I'm the type to go to a location and do multiple different things there, then go to the next location and do the same.

I won't focus on one single side quest all the way to completion, jumping around to multiple locations in the process. If you play like that I could see where it would be annoying.

I'm like that in any game. "While I'm in the area, I'll do the next step of this quest as well...." My girlfriend sometimes is more OCD and has to stick with one quest until it is finished, but I'm slowly bringing her around by playing ESO together and jumping from quest to quest based on where we are. :)

babadivad2487d ago

I bought it [pre-ordered], haven't played it yet other than creating my character. I was waiting until they updated the create a character with a more robust system. It seems they've done this, so I may finally start working on completing it.

All the powers seems like they were ported from ME3 multiplayer. No that means no soldier bullet time[unless this has changed since launch].

cfc832488d ago

It's a good enough game. I'm glad i got it anyway. It doesn't have to be Mass Effect 1, 2 or 3 to be worth buying.

StormLegend2488d ago

The demo says 43GB's I would rather just buy the game since it's $29.99 on PSN as of now.

Relientk772488d ago

The demo is 40 gigs...

What are they nuts

Bigpappy2488d ago

It is not a demo. Its a free trail.

Sega Saturn made it but not the 360. Don't remember Saturn having a horrid rrod rate. Absolutely horrid

RetroCaptainSteve487d ago

The launch games were all right, but look at how Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA compared to their re-releases.

Mass Effect Companions, Ranked from Worst to Best

From Xfire: "BioWare's Mass Effect franchise took gamers on a fascinating universal sci-fi journey that will never be forgotten. While fighting against the ever-looming threat of the Reapers was central to Mass Effect's storyline, what made the series so iconic was its vast and diverse cast of characters.

Not only do these companions accompany Commander Shepard as you make your way through hell and back, but, throughout your journey, you also get to learn who these characters were and are and what they think about what it is that you are doing. Some will even fall in love with you, and others will even become your enemy based on your decision."

When I looked at the list I thought they were saying Garrus was the worst lol. And tali being so far down the list was fighting words for me. But the numbered list is just the order they are shown so you are forgiven.

CYALTR1087d ago

I think they listed them from worst to best. Also keep in mind that this includes Andromeda characters that aren't part of the remastered trilogy. Interesting refresh on the characters though.

sourOG1087d ago

They did but I didn’t realize it until I started reading. That’s just the order they are shown.

Knightofelemia1088d ago (Edited 1088d ago )

I couldn't stand Miranda I could never like her as a character and I always skipped Jacob and James. I always liked Grunt, Jack, Legion, Tali, Garrus, Samara, Liara, Wrex, Edi, Zaeed, Kasumi I always use these characters. Using Martin Sheen as the Illusive Man just fits the character like using Keith David as Admiral Anderson was another good choice always feels like Goliath from Gargoyles is yelling at you which I like.

Rebel_Scum1087d ago

Kinda weird having a question mark at the end of that sentence?

Soy1087d ago

Garrus is best space bro.

Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2021

Zahi AR. from Link Cable Gaming writes “Welcome back Link Cable Gaming fans, with me in andromeda. Specifically, Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2021. With the recent announcement of Anthem shutting down its future plans, I wanted to look at another recent BioWare game. My switch to a PlayStation 5 destroyed my save file right while I was at the end. So, I decided to do a fresh start on the new console to see just how well (or not) it’s been since launch. How has the new generation of hardware treated the game that fell from grace? Should you play Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2021? Let’s find out.”

Such a good game! It got a 4K X1X upgrade and it looks fantastic! Also like the story! Was playing it again before Series X dropped. Going to download it for the Series X, as soon as I have more room on my HD. Playing too many other games right now.

Instant resume is AMAZING! I can Switch between 5 games in seconds. Like 10 to 15 at the most! No closing a game and opening another one! Thank you Microsoft!

giovonni1153d ago

It’s was decent to me. I didn’t feel the magic I felt when I played two or even three. I don’t know. It was repetitive, and the worlds felt bland.

jeromeface1153d ago

There's a reason it reviewed so poorly in the first place... these reasons among others.

anast1153d ago

I had a lot of fun with this game, but I haven't played 2 or 3 yet.

giovonni1153d ago

2 was wonderful, three was just as good as two the ending though 🤦🏾‍♂️

Wintersun6161152d ago

I finally gave it a go last autumn and was amazed by how bad a game can be. And believe me my expectations were low. After 10ish hours I just had to give up.

giovonni1152d ago

I powered through it, myself. It was just repetitive, and the Land Rover Exploration wasn’t interesting at all. The story also we mahhhhhhh.
