While not the best Mass Effect game (that throne still belongs to ME2), it certainly isn’t the worst by any stretch of the imagination. It's still the Mass Effect you know and love, but with new additions to make it feel fresh and different enough. It's challenging, it's huge, and best of all, it's fun.
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.
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.
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.
Reminds me of Baldur’s Gate. I wanted to practice some magic and Gale made it super weird. Not even gonna mention Astarion.
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.
Shout out to Keri the Asari reporter. Current relationship status be damned as she's game either way. Anything for a good story. 🤣
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
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.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
You might want to try playing a truly bad game. Go boot up two worlds or gollum to get the perspective you need
Lol. Its one of the only games that I have experienced buyers remorse with. The only one I can think of is riders Republic.
So delusional, the title was an embarrassment to the original trilogy. it’s the equivalent of 2042 to the battlefield franchise.
I need to take leave from work for this!
Not a yay or nay. Reads like a meh.
I can't wait to pick up my copy tomorrow
There's no mention of the production value, no comment on voice acting or visuals?
Sorry but I just can't get past those facial animations. It's an RPG that's supposed to pull you in and keep you invested emotionally with it's characters and I just can't take it seriously when almost every single NPC has a blank, emotionless 1000-yard stare and the only movements are in the head and the eyes.
For a AAA title in 2017 this just screams lazy development and shouldn't be accepted because it's a "large pretty world". Having a large pretty world in gaming is a dime a dozen these days. Lipstick on a pig is what is coming to mind when seeing Andromeda right now.
