Popular Post Stargazer2600 Posted April 2, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Now i know I may be late to saying this, for all i know someone else has said it but if not. I wanna say that the more i dug into this, the more it made me love Andromeda more. I hope you enjoy this and please discuss your thoughts below 5 years ago we got Mass Effect 3. It was without a doubt one of the most anticipated games ever. Sadly Mass Effect 3 suffered from a really bad ending and the endings lacked what fans expected.Reviewers tore into the game very badly and on that day Mass Effect lost fans. The ending was (to them, not me) so bad that some refuse to ever play the trilogy again just cause of the last 10 minutes. Mass Effect 3 had petitions for BioWare to redo the ending and it sparked the debate between art and consumer with some articles defending BioWare on the ending but others saying that if someone drops money on a product, they have a say on it, especially when it makes them unhappy. BioWare eventually did release free extended cut endings, but for many it simply wasn't good enough. 5 years later and the Mass Effect fandom still hasn't really healed. Upon the release of Andromeda the game seemed doomed from the start with almost the hate of the game being louder than the praise. People have ripped Andromeda a new one for the Bad facial animations boring side quests lack of character customization glitches Microtransactions in multiplayer You name it, Andromeda is supposed to have sinned in it Now the thing is, they arn't wrong. Andromeda does suffer from all of these. Some people call it the "no mans sky of 2017". However I have never seen a AAA game ripped apart so badly and in reality, Andromeda isn't that bad. Andromeda actually does what the last 3 games did, and more. ME 3 had microtransactions in multiplayer and just like in 3 you don't need to actually pay, you can use in game points. BioWare is working on the glitches and even the original trilogy had boring side quests and yes, none of us can deny that the original trilogy also had bad facial animation.Taking all this into account I wanted to find the real reason Andromeda was getting hate and after some time. I think I found it and it all stems back to Mass Effect 3. Mass Effect 3 really left a bad taste in peoples mouths, never mind that the other 99% of the game was pure epicness. It's those last 10 minutes that doomed Andromeda. You cant make a Mass Effect game now and people not feel angry over ME3. The old saying of "time heals all" does not apply here. Some fans will not let that wound heal, they simply will not let it go and sadly its ruining Andromeda for themselves and others. Andromeda is also made by a new Mass Effect team. Now i personally never cared who made the games I played. If i liked it, i liked it. However this is one of the things I found that make some people stick up their nose at Andromeda. I seen great teams like Team Silent rise and disband and no one care about what they set in play and just do there own thing. At least this new team tries to do something fresh, while keeping whats been settled, in there own sort of way. The third and final thing I found on all the underlying hate is cause it doesn't have Sheppard. This REALLY seems to be a deal breaker with people. Most people won't even give the new guy a chance. I literally heard someone say "if its not Sheppard, i'm not buying it. I literally don't care". However this isn't a new practice. Games like star wars and Silent Hill and many others have done this exact thing. It's really just another thing people use to try to justify hating on Andromeda. In the end, I spent a good few hours watching videos and talking with people. Is Andromeda the no mans sky of 2017? no. Does it deserve all the hate its getting? no. If anything Mass Effect is guilty of, is its Mass Effect 1 all over again. Its a slow build up and you know the other games will be more action packed. Andromeda however is plagued from all the hate from 3 that people just wont let go and it's really sad when you think about it. Since low sales and all the hate could prevent future Andromeda titles from being made, all because people wont let it go and give it a chance. I hope that doesn't happen but with as big of a voice as people have on the internet and with names like Gameranx, AngryJoe and others really tearing into this and treating every little sin like they just killed a family member. You never really know. I was able to get friends who never played the original trilogy, to play Andromeda and its literally become one of their favorite games and that shows that the goodness in the game is there, you just have to give it a chance. Don't look at Mass Effect Andromeda as Mass Effect 4 cause its not. It's like the Rouge One of the Mass Effect universe. If you can put all your bias aside and give it a chance. you can easily find the good and the enjoyment out of it, how much you find is up to you. If you wanna find hate, you can find it, but If you wanna find the good. You can find that too. Edited April 2, 2017 by Stargazer2600 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihiris- Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Well yes, there are legitimate reasons why people dislike Andromeda. But you also have to count in the whole internet hate bandwagon phenomena as well. Plus 5 years in development and this is the outcome for a $60 (or more) game is not going to sit well with people, especially with how many other fantastic games came out this first quarter. Andromeda definitely sticks out like a sore thumb in that respect, especially considering its pedigree. The problem is this game was developed by a C-tier studio whose only experience with Mass Effect was the multiplayer in Mass Effect 3. And it shows. I'm sure the game is still enjoyable and the actual gameplay I've seen looks really fun. But story, memorable characters, and immersion were also big points in why people played Mass Effect that people did not just see coming from Andromeda. But like I said, I'm sure it's still a fun game (it got GOOD reviews) but better suited at a heavily discounted price tag at this point. The best thing to take out of this is if they ever decide to make a sequel (which I'm sure they will) they can only go but up from here and learn from past mistakes or maybe even get Bioware Edmonton assistance in the next one.

Popular Post KingGuy420 Posted April 2, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2017 For everything it does wrong, it does something amazing as well. But it seems the reviewers are all choosing to ignore that aspect of it. The core gameplay, the leveling system, the world design, the level design, the gear system, all leaps and bounds better then in the original trilogy. It truely is a shame that people choose to overlook the good and focus on the bad. Even the story and characters were better then they were in ME1 IMO. Liam and Cora are infinitely more interesting then Kaiden and Ashley. Drack is way more badass then Wrex. Hell, even Archon made Saren look like a peon and the Kett's ultimate goal was way more sinister. And people can talk about bugs all they want but I had more issues in the first hour of 3 then I had in my entire run of Andromeda lol. Honestly, I think a lot of reviewers are biased on this one. It's been proven before that reviewers will blindly agree with the first big reviewer to have a review out, for risk of losing mutual subs. People have had their careers crumble for disagreeing with AngryJoe or Pewdiepie before. Considering the first big reviewer for this game was the internet as a whole, based off of a few early, out of context images. The threat of losing everything for disagreeing was on a whole new level with this one. The whole review system is broken and I for one really wish people would just learn to make their own decisions instead of listening to the opinion of someone with a paycheck on the line. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME1 also had more barren empty planets to explore, way worse side-quests, the mako, among other issues, not to mention the story that takes a real long time to get somewhat interesting, but still isn't anything special. I don't think andromeda is better than ME2, but it is way better than ME1 and 3, plus the jump jets and extremely flexible leveling/power system is nice.

As soon as i heard about Andromeda, there was no doubt i was gonna get it. Was i worried it wouldnt live up to the original? yeah i mean how do you top that? but it didnt stop me from trying it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xZoneHunter Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 After the first 10 hours of pretty exciting gameplay, i removed my rose-tinted glasses and realized all the things i didn't like about it. Gameplay alone isn't enough to carry something like Mass Effect. My space opera RPG itch is easily scratched, but andromeda certainly isn't up for the task. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Happy Posted April 2, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2017 If you ask me, the sheer level of lack of polish that this game has is completely unnacceptable for a title with as much budget and development time as this and the amount of shit it's getting for it is completely justified. When something's wrong, which clearly is the case here, critics and consumers should make sure to voice their unhappiness with the situation. Honestly, at this point i'm used to seeing more people defending the game than attacking it. The game is still at a solid 75 on Metacritic and sold well enough to be the second most played game on the site right now so i'm having trouble seeing where the alleged witch hunt that everyone's talking about is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much where I stand on the hate the game is getting. Every single ounce of hate this game is getting is deserved. It's completely unacceptable for a game with a 40 to 50 million dollar budget to launch like this. People are going to defend it and that's fine, but the people who defend the shitty state this game launched in are ridiculous. Witcher 3 had a significantly smaller budget and had much better animations, and nowhere near the amount of bugs this game did. I think my favorite Youtube comment I saw that related to this game was "Witcher 3 ruining western RPGs since 2015." lol I tried getting a refund for this game, but unfortunately I couldn't get one so I'm just waiting until Bioware actually fixes this turd they have released. No matter how much they polish this turd it will still be a turd in my eyes, but I'm interested to play it once all the bugs are fixed. Until then I have like 40 other games to play so I can wait. Should be interesting to see what Bioware announces on the 4th. After releasing the game in such a shitty state, they better give the players something. When this happened with AC Unity I think Ubisoft gave out the story DLC for free and I expect Bioware to do something similar. Releasing a game in this state is unacceptable and they know it.

Shurax_Urden Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I finished the game this Saturday and I really enjoyed it. Yes, there are some weird animations, although during most of the game I wouldn't have notice. Yes, some secondary missions are repetitive, but a lot of them are good. I didn't even tried the character customisation as I played as default Sara Ryder and she was lovely. I haven't played the multiplayer I did not found almost any glitch (the game froze a couple of times and the person I was talking to, disappeared sometimes). I found the story and the characters very good and enjoyable (Jaal, Cora and Peebee specially). World and level design was great too. Combat was fun and not repetitive. So, in my opinion and in my case, it was money well invested (I played it for about 50 hours). Have a nice day! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undead Wolf Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Whatever your thoughts on the game are, I think most people agree that this is the worst entry in the Mass Effect series. I'd even go so far to say that it's Bioware's worst RPG to date. Of course, their other RPG's have all been great, so saying that isn't exactly a condemnation. As a lapsed Mass Effect fan myself, it's sad to see what the series has become. I was really hoping Andromeda could rekindle my love for the series, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. 6 hours ago, Nishikino Maki said: People still being pissy about ME3's ending are just big babies. Hmmm, I don't think so. If a company does something you don't agree with to the point where you threaten to boycott their future games and what not, I think it's good that people follow through with that. At the end of the day, these companies only care about money, so voting with your wallets is the only viable course of action to make them listen. Actions speak louder than words. I complained about ME3's ending back in the day and I certainly didn't rush out to buy this game on day one. I know Andromeda isn't a bad game, but I've been burned one too many times by EA in the past. I'll buy the game a few years down the line when it's much cheaper. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I can't disagree with much of the initial post. Andromeda was necessarily going to pay for some of the sins of its predecessor, so if it didn't knock your socks off, it was going to get smashed. Compare this with Dragon Age: Inquisition. Although I love DA2, even I freely admit there is much wrong with it, and I fully understand why people dislike it. However, Bioware brought the goods for Inquisition; it's one of the single best experiences I've ever had playing a game. I don't get that feeling with Andromeda, though. From reviews (which I clearly admit might be hearsay), Andromeda magnifies the components I care less about (MP, combat experience), and minimizes the reason I want to play the ME series (story, characterization). I'm not the story hound I used to be for RPGs (mostly, because JRPGs have done so poorly in this regard), but Bioware grabbed me with ME and ME2, and I want more of that universe, if not of those characters. Andromeda doesn't seem to deliver at all on that front. Still, when it's cheap, I'll give it a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda doesn't seem to deliver at all on that front. Still, when it's cheap, I'll give it a whirl. I can't say I was a big fan of Inquisition. The game maps felt really empty, most of the side quests are what you'd find in a typical MMO, and I didn't much care for any of the characters. I think a game like The Witcher 3 blows it out of the water. Having said that, it was still a decent game and had its good points. It's better than DA2 at least, although Origins is still my favourite entry in the series. But yeah, I agree. Andromeda feels like they were focusing on the wrong things. I'm sure the gameplay is great, but that's not why I play Mass Effect. The story and characters are what I care for the most, and from what I've seen, that seems to be lacking in Andromeda. I mean ME1 had terrible combat, but I didn't even care. Everything else was exceptional, so it kinda made up for it. The animations are bad in Andromeda, but I'm more concerned about the writing. It looks like it was done by a bunch of amateurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmeraldLeviathan Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I read previews and initial reviews. I heard the horror stories about the animations. I seriously considered cancelling my preorder. I am so happy I decided to keep the game. There are issues, but none so game breaking as a few of the (still to this day unresolved) issues that exist in Dragon Age 2. The animations are wonky but the clips seiously pulled the most glitchy and went viral, which I do think was not an accurate representation of the whole. The overall story has a few confusing bits and admittingly felt more like 'fan-fiction' than a true continuation of the series. The characters were well fleshed out. The crewmember loyalty quests are really good. While true romance (not fling) options were limited, many felt more complex than in past entries. I will have to say that anyone claiming the characters are 'boring' or 'generic' has not played the game. For people that feel they have been burned by EA in the past, I get the restraint. For people falling into the media hype that is all about this game being terrible, I urge you to give it a try. I almost fell for it. The game brought me back into everything I loved about Mass Effect and then some. Nearly 80 hours of playtime has made the purchase well worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgrave Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I've been watching an LP of it the past couple nights (inb4 "You can't criticize it unless you play it yourself") and I just don't think I would really be able to enjoy it and there's always something that bothers me every 10-20 minutes. Outside of facial and character animations, none of the characters really stick out to me for starters. They all just feel so bland and recycled from the previous games and the interactions with them just seem so dull. Plus the jokes a lot of them make are lame. The main enemies also just look generic and slapped together that they look like discount Collectors. I also swear the Fiends are just a re-skinned Brute from Mass Effect 3. I haven't gotten to the point where their motivations are explained but I somehow doubt it will be interesting. Walking around just seems like it is in Inquisition too. There's a wide open area, but a whole lot of nothing really interesting to do except collecting things kind of like how it was in the first game. The only difference (so far anyway) is that the vehicle you have doesn't have a weapon on it which makes driving around on big open worlds even more boring. Perhaps the most irritating thing that bothers me is how the story is set up. It starts out between ME2 and ME3, which now begs the question of why nobody even references the Ark project in those two games. You could argue that it was so the Reapers wouldn't find out, but the Citadel didn't even believe in that whole thing until it was too late. Or maybe it was top secret but oh wait Spoiler you find out Liara knew about it. You think she would have mentioned that at some point to Shepard. Hell even Illusive Man could have known about it. Plus a bunch of other Citadel races were in on it. Then they also mention Spoiler the Korgan suddenly building up an immunity or some way to get around the Genophage. Wowee, I guess that cure didn't need to happen after all. Good job Shepard, your choice didn't matter once again! Secondly, Ryder seems to have that same BioWare "I suddenly gain a special thing that will solve the plot and makes me more important" device that Shepard, the Grey Warden, Hawke, Inquisitor, Revan, and pretty much every other BioWare protagonist has. It's just too predictable and boring now. Maybe I'm just nitpicking there, but I'm just tired of seeing that same set up in all their games. I'm sure there will be more to come, and I have this dreadful feeling that it's going to involve Space Magic once again. But they really should have just had it where the Ark project takes place after ME3. It's not like they are really addressing anything between ME2 and 3. There's some callbacks but nothing really too notable. To be honest it would have made more sense if it did. But anyway, these are just things from the first few hours that stuck out to me, and so far it really doesn't look like something I would get until it was below the $40 price at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilBefore_ZOD Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I haven't finished my playthrough yet on this, but my impressions of Andromeda so far are pretty favorable. For the most part I like the voice acting, and I like that the story is pretty well divorced from the original trilogy. We get new characters and races (although perhaps they could have used more than just a couple of new races in a new galaxy), the loyalty missions are on par with some of the better ones in ME2, and the planetary exploration in the Nomad is way more fun that it was in the Mako. The combat controls are fun (the jump jets were a great idea), and the crafting system for weapons and armor works pretty well. The technical glitches are well known, and I agree with those who say that a game this big should not suffer from the kinds of problems we're seeing when other games have been made for less money and released with far more polish. Where the game really suffers, in my opinion, is the overstuffing of filler quests (i.e., the tasks). The open-world syndrome is strong with this one. Tasks often involve nothing more than finding random items in random enemy campsites and then a final reverse-engineered navpoint from your all-knowing AI that require you to go to a location, kill some enemies, and talk to some random person. What was great about ME2 and ME3 is that missions were a bit more linear and focused. Each mission had a specific area where these random tasks were something you could do during other, more important missions. I look at my quest journal (which is way more complicated than it needs to be), and much of these tasks have nothing to do with enhancing or moving the story forward. Bottom line: I like Andromeda for the most part, but it could be a lot better focused, and a lot more polished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francescanz Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I have to agree, the biggest let down is the bland writing and the shallow characters (in my opinion anyway). I read the bad reviews, I read the good reviews, I bought the game anyway and I'm sticking to it....BUT...I just cannot warm up to the characters. Sarah especially is just bad...which is heartbreaking after all the hype. Never mind the glitches and bugs - I can cope with that - but lukewarm characters are a real shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrasticAutomatic Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 This is my first Mass Effect game. It's decent. Definitely not worth the full price (i'm borrowing a PS4 and the game for a couple weeks) and very flawed, but there's a lot of fun to be had. The story and characters are painfully dull, and the main missions don't really have much variety to them either. Interacting with other characters feels like a chore. The combat is where the game excels though, but unfortunately the load-out and customisation menus are poorly designed and difficult to navigate. This game is a 6/10 (maybe a 7 if you're a hardcore fan). Not worth the full-price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissShake Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) I feel like Bioware is in a little bit of a hole when it comes to Mass Effect. A lot of people seem to forget that the first game was basically only world building, getting to know these new species and how they work and such. Andromeda only has one new species in it so there's not really the same sense of wonder, even if we're in a new system with new planets (so really there SHOULD BE more new species tbh). So what do people think about next? The story. ME1 didn't have that strong of a story in my opinion, but it was only the first in a trilogy like Andromeda seems to be. Even the characters in ME1 didnt really get interesting until later games, so I'm willing to give the Andromeda cast a chance, but other fans are not. Honestly I feel like people would be more forgiving if they thought of Andromeda as the first chapter of a new saga, but it's basically impossible with the last game having that ending. (I'm not gonna defend the ending, it really was garbage imo.) People were legit hurt about that ending, so even if Andromeda had been technically perfect and every facial animation was on point this game would still be criticized all to hell.
