Why You Should "Wait And See" With 'Mass Effect: Andromeda'

With EA having treated games like Titanfall 2 with immense disrespect in the past few years and not seeing too much gameplay footage on Andromeda, should we be worried about this game? BioWare has been quiet about this game since it was revealed, but will it be everything we wanted, or will be much less?

Well using TF2 as an example is poor as the game is quite good. I think the game is going to be massive. Like The Witcher 3 massive. So they were careful what they showed.

He's using Titanfall 2 as an example of how EA throws certain franchises to the side, which this year they did. I think that's a good point.

I dont think EA threw TF2 aside, I think they honestly thought it would do well where they slotted it. They were wrong and that does happen but they aren't messing around when their money is on the line.

When it comes to ME which is one of the most popular franchises in history. They aren't throwing anything about this game aside.

I think Electronic Arts is simply being careful with what they market and how they Market with Mass Effect simply because they don't want users looking at footage and scrutinizing the final game so I think they wanted to have these gameplay trailers shown only when the game was already to be in a final build.

Gamers absolutely destroyed and criticized The Witcher 3 to just an absolutely ridiculous extant when they found out it was downgraded but at the end of the day it's not their fault considering how the normal game development goes if anything they're only fault was even showing consumers that game from such an early build without figuring out just how much processing would be taken away by core features.

Electronic Arts simply does not want to be put in the same situation so my opinion they were very smart to only start to Market Mass Effect Andromeda when users are very certain that what they're seeing is what the final game will look like so why should Electronic Arts a year or even a year-and-a-half from the released from the game release to show videos just so people that continue to make before and afters and scrutinize?

I personally think how their marketing Mass Effect is very smart they understand how the current gaming climate is and I think it's best they only start showing lots of gameplay trailers in videos and Diaries when the game is already at a final build.

as much as i want to buy mass effect day 1 i'm buying horizon zero dawn and just gonna have to wait awhile before i pick up mass effect. It'll sell well enough for it's debut without me i am sure.

the problem for Mass Effect is a very lively release window. Horizon Zero Dawn, Nintendo Switch w/ Zelda, Neir, Ghost Recon, Mass Effect then the following week Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 and another week later Persona 5. As much as I too want Mass Effect, it might be sacrificed for the time being. I picked up a backlog w/ Christmas sales and am slowly working through Nioh right now. Then starting Feb 28 through March; hate to say but it's TOO much for once lol. Even so I think Mass Effect will wind up with pretty strong sales out the gate & do just fine through the course of the year. EA and Bio knows Mass Effect has to live up to expectations and they will deliver.

Why You Should "Wait And See" With... Every Game Ever...

No need to wait and see, the original 3 were classics this has to be good at the very least.

[_-EDMIX-_]

I agree even with the Mass Effect games I didn't care for too much I actually still like all the presentation and small Side Stories the game presented.

Mass Effect for me has enough value as a series that it's always going to be a day one purchase for me.

I'm only in it for the story and some of the character development folks lol

heres to hoping for the return of Starchild...

bioware rarely ever makes a bad game look at horizon we barley know anything & its a great game & whats the point of using tf2 as an example because that game was amazing the best fps of fall 2016 hands down

[dman7690]

That the point though. EA didn't treat it like it was the best FPS, they put it out to die.
