Mass Effect: Andromeda Was Doomed to Fail From the Start

The game has many flaws, including animation, lip sync and bad missions, but it was the overall design which doomed Andromeda to failure.

One of the biggest disappointments of the generation

spdygaming2886d ago

Def. ME: Andromeda's lucky No Man's Sky was released.

TheSinsibleOne2886d ago

Metal Gear Soli 5 was mine. It's a shame 2 great series got messed up.

narsaku2886d ago

Be careful saying that here, everyone secretly wan'ts to be Kojima's gurlfriend here. XD

TC7312886d ago

What was actually IN MGS5 was great...too bad we didn't get the whole thing.

spdygaming2885d ago

MGSV was solid. The only reason why it sucked was that it had potential to be the greatest game in the franchise, only to disappoint and see release as a half-assed game.

TheSinsibleOne2885d ago

Love the dislikes. They've no idea what a MGS game is. Kojima isn't blameless, it was HIS idea to make the decisions. The open world ruined the flow the missions, didn't feel like one linear story like always. Got rid of the original voice actor and replace him with Bauer and even then Venom Snake doesn't even talk even when people were talking to him. HE'S NOT SOME DUMBASS MUTE protagonist. There wasn't even a freaking ending. Hell I felt the game might of had 5 chapters instead of 3. ME:A got WAY to much useless hate meanwhile Kojima or Konami didn't get the hate it deserved. Konami did mess up a perfect series no doubt. Don't get me wrong. I HATE MGS5 and I love it at the same time. Skullface and quiet were great characters, quiet saved the whole game for me. The boss fight again sch(I'm not spelling that!) was great.

I was really looking forward to this game but the overwhelming mediocre reviews and the high number from actual gamer friends and comments saying this game was not all that made me skip it entirely.

Shame too since I loved the original trilogy.

& now Jade Raymond Games are gonna fail since she got stuck with this team

narsaku2886d ago

I really didn't enjoy how frustrated I was playing this game. I REALLY didn't enjoy it.

The crashes, characters flying away mid cutscene or merging with each other... I even had PeeBee talk but it was with that Krograns voice instead?!?!

..Horrible. It's so sad ppl out there defend this game. It's insane. Full price for an alpha game that barely passes as a decent game in it's best of times.

Thank god Montreal's been taking off main games.

TheSinsibleOne2886d ago

Thing is. I NEVER had any problems with the game. I enjoyed it but it doesn't even come close to the OG team.

narsaku2886d ago

Yea I miss the original trilogy too bud. Maybe we'll get a remake someday. <3

InKnight7s2886d ago

Exactly, I bought it on x1 because of good sale. Never had one issue even thought I played it while no completing the download.

DemoIishor2886d ago

I picked it up earlier last month and I experienced very few bugs, so my experience wasn't hampered by the poor launch. Even with that in mind, this game was utterly hollow. It had nothing of real substance and by the time I reached the midway point, I completely stopped caring about the plot and skipped every cutscene and every single bit of dialogue. The magic just isn't there.

For All Its Flaws, Mass Effect: Andromeda's Approach to Romance is Something ME4 Can Learn From

While Mass Effect: Andromeda was let in several key areas, one of its approaches to romances is something Mass Effect 4 should consider revisiting.

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

anast162d ago (Edited 162d 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

anast203d 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.

anast238d ago

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

TheNamelessOne238d ago

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

raWfodog238d 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.

Armaggedon238d ago

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

MatrixxGT238d ago

Wow, two worlds…red ringed my 360.

Armaggedon238d 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.

thorstein238d ago

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