One month since Mass Effect Andromeda was released, the patch 1.05 was very appreciable . But any news , updates on 1.06 , i'm very curious what will you do with the character creation so I hope to have some news soon as possible and I think i'm not the only one 😉

There you go people.
I'm not misreading anything. I know what the Mass Effect series is about and its not multiplayer... The fact that you have a list of friends that play ME3 multiplayer & Dragon Age mulitplayer means nothing. I know people that play rubbish games too... it doesn't mean that everyone likes to play rubbish games. I'm not saying the game shouldn't have a multiplayer mode. I'm saying that it has very little to do with the games popularity. It's not why the majority of people buy the game, its not why the franchise is so popular & it should not be a priority over fixing the single player game. When single player has been fixed you can moan all you want about multiplayer but until then I couldn't care less. It's bonus content, just be happy you have it in a story focused single player game to begin with.
The fact that you think it would be dead without mulitplayer shows how little you know about the previous 3 games. The replayablility in this game comes from its multiple options in dialog, multiple endings & multiple styles of play, not a half-arsed muliplayer horde mode we've see done better a thousand times before.
I was actually surprised with the MP. It was better than I expected (to be honest, I wasn't expecting much from it at all.... because its not a multiplayer focused game). When its working and not laggy as *, its a nice break from questing... but thats it. It's nothing new & not even a contender in the MP game market. I'm quite baffled why anyone would expect anything more than just a slightly improved version of ME3 multiplayer from it. Mass Effect isn't and never has been a multiplayer focused game. A "real gamer" as you put it, would be well aware of this fact and would go elsewhere for their multiplayer fix. Like the majority do...
I'm pretty sure the real issue with this game & many others at the moment is the whole pre-order culture anyway... Why finish making a game when you've already hit your targets on pre-orders alone...hmmmmm should we carry on working to finish the game or release it 80% finished and get the same money anyway??... I know what most people would do and these big game companies seem to be doing the same. Put up an embargo so nobody can review the game until the day it comes out & people won't have time to cancel their pre-orders... I understand they are all here for the money but this is getting pretty disgraceful.
I've learnt my lesson from this game at least. I won't be pre-ordering anything in future... i've had enough of paying full price to beta test games

@arthurh3535 heh.. almost ALL of it. me and several people i play with would have paid 40 JUST for a multiplayer mass effect game, the single player can rot on the shelf as far as im concerned.. ill play it when ALL the content is released, but im not going to be a sheep and keep running back to the game every time they release a new dlc for single player. only a few ignorant souls will waste $ on the multiplayer, you would HAVE to be ignorant because once you understand how the drops work it becomes obvious that you arent going to buy your way to the top without an absurd amount of money.. and then what? assuming you spent 5000$ on the game you would have bought your way out of having ANY motivation to actually play the game because there would be no drops left to get.
@Nykara360 people who sit around reading fan fiction arent gamers. they are just bored people who will do anything (including play games) to waste time while waiting to die. im also going to have to assume they arent even sci-fi fans if they have to be "talked into" playing one of the most iconic sci-fi games ever made. know what works though? seeing 12 people on your friend list all playing mass effect andromeda multiplayer, because even if they dont ask they receive the message. its subliminal. the mind says "i wish to be part of that group" without the person actually thinking it. doesnt apply to single player things though, because those are all "personal".
Excuse me but that is an extremely rude assumption. I read fanfiction and I am totally a gamer. Have been for 20 years. Fallout 1 and 2. The original diablo. Everquest and so on. I also wasnt entirely talking about those who read it, most of my friends, like me, write it because we found these games that inspiring. Some wrote and played only dragon age but now play both - with a little encouragment from me and others. Fanfiction writers write some of the best fiction, even better then published works and they put as much if not more time into it. Just because one enjoys a well crafted novel does not mean they don't game. What a crazy thing to even say.

Are we just going to have a never ending "true scotsman" argument or are any of the future posts going to be about 1.06? Be as angry as you want in a thread I DON'T watch for updates about updates if you'd please. I don't care how old anybody is or their gamer cred - if you want a 'mine's bigger' thread make one.

I listed like a couple of games I jave played in 20+ years. It would be impossible to list every. single. game. I have played. To which there is many.
I started in highschool sneaking floppy discs to the school computers of games like the original prince of persia, golden axe and wolfenstien, nibbles etc so that we could play them at lunch time. I had an original atari with games like asteroids, summer and winter games, double dragon, river raid, the cop vrs robbers one i forgot the name of it was so long ago. Then I had one with 128 built in games. After that an original nintendo and sega, all the mario games, alex kid, wonder boy, sonic the hedgehog and about 20+ various other games.
My first PC I had limited games because i just moved out of home - funds weren't forthcoming. But I managed Master of Orion 2. Fallout 1 and 2. Diablo. Civilization. Sim tower and sim city. Creatures. Black and white. Outpost (original and outpost 2), age of empires, command and conquer .. etc etc.. just some names I remeber.
I also played a ton of LA games and other adventure games, day of the tenticle, Sam and Max, Riven, Myst, the sci fi LA one i forgot the name of etc..
Then an original xbox, fable, kotor, guitar hero (actually we may have got it for the playstation originally and xbox later), I didn't play a heap on there because I was busy on my PC at the time with mmos, everquest, swg etc. I played swg full time for 8+ yrs. Did also play WoW in a raiding guild for a time.
Xbox 360 half life, halo, pinata, more guitar hero games, rock band games, mass effect trilogy, dragon age origins and da2, dead space, the lego star wars games and other lego games, fable 3, bioshock and a whole bunch of others.
In more recent times, The Secret World, Guild Wars (1 and 2), at the moment swtor. I also have 200+ games in my steam list. All of the Saints Row games, planet explorers, civilization games including the newer one, bioshock infinate, portal, 7 days to die, age of empires, spore(+expansion), all the star wars games, landmark, the repopulation, no mans sky, empyrion, creativerse, skyrim, jade empire, banished, state of decay, dark souls, darksiders, boarderlands and again, just a few.
We also have 2 xbox ones - one of which is pretty well solely used by me. Fallout 4, inquisition, andromeda, the disney infinity games (play them with my kid), minecraft, the newest diablo, destiny and sooo on. I give up trying to list them its only a very small percent anyways. Not sure what counts as a gamer to most but pretty sure playing games every. day. Qualifies.
P.S. oh and im also a girl but i guess we don't play games either anymore than fanfiction writers and readers do 😂😂😂😂. I also never said my work was better - ive been writing a short time compaired to many. I said theres a lot of fanfiction writers whose work is better. Truth. Im a reader and ill never look back from the amazing fanfic authors ive found now.
So um... Still no news on 1.06...
This is really starting to drag...

Yeah definitely.
After asking them here, on twitter and by email and getting 0 answer i've just.. give up.. i don't care much anymore.
I will put my second playtrough on hold until the game is properly fixed and maybe a dlc will came out.
i've been gaming for 26 years, or there abouts. if i only keep my fanfics in my head... what does that say about me?
also giving you props for bringing up myst and riven, nobody seems to remember those titles anymore.
