Bang for you Buck
You know after all the P_ssing, and Moaning about this game, in the beginning.. And I did my fair share. I have to say this is a Huge game, with and UN-godly amount of things to find, and explore...
Forum Discussion
This * is what I was talking about since andromeda release..
Its a good game, internet hate train is just composed of loud obnoxious crybabies. Every time I challenged some complainer to explain to me why the game "sucks" he would give almost pre scripted response " game is buggy" and there are others who went in a little deeper and try to argue that characters are uninteresting and story didnt make sense..
Every game on release is buggy.. it was resolved fairly quickly and characters are only uninteresting if you didnt pay any attention to what they were saying.
Game is introduction to new narrative with so much potential.. if you remember when ME1 came out, we didnt think much of it ether.. Back then in the forums the main debate was are the reapers real and council seemed shady to everyone..
I still cant wrap my head around why developers listen to crybabies of any kind, weather they are haters, feminists, sjws etc. they are not relevant, they wont buy your game... They cried so you punished actual fans of Mass Effect.. makes 0 sense..
I sort of blame, or think that some blame at least falls on Anthem & EA. ( Have read where EA was willing to postpone the release of Andromeda, but these things can be deceiving, and not always as they are displayed )
As I understand it Anthem pulled a lot of talented people away from ME:A, and pushed production of the so called Destiny >Anthem game. A multiplayer, MTX, Bilk the player out of all the money they can game, or that is what I seem to be reading.
If Anthem does not work like they want it to... Will, they will just drop it too. ( I hope this is not a trend, but I would expect it from EA )
I personally do not like multi player games, and gave them up a long time ago, I just have no use for "Ping is King" games. Also the quantity of flamer comments in forum's like
"That idiot does not even know how to play, I get so tired of not being able to play with other God like game players like [INSERT NAME if you are one of those.]"
Or "we had it beat, and that idiot left because her stupid Child needed something...Geesh!, the dumb Beach."
Or " Hey just go and buy that MTX, and you can be as Great as me. Hey it's only a few dollar's, quit your Beaching. I hear they have another even better MTX coming out next Month."
I have major concern's about EA, and there dollar worship. I know, I guess that is the bottom line, but I really miss Game makers that seemed like they made game's because they loved making them.
I have right now a great deal of respect for CD PROJEKT RED, I mean they may turn on me too, but they seem to be really involved in there game's, and they don't seem to be trying to bilk the players. I have seen where they put a lot of effort even a year or two after releasing a game into improving ( I remember directors cut for the original Witcher, and there improvement of witcher 3. ), and adding to it, for the most part, at no extra cost.
I am sure it is costly for CD PROJEKT RED to do this, but It show's me a company that care's about, not only there player base, but there true desire to make, and finish a polished product, no matter the cost. ( I also remember when there was a DRM problem with Witcher 2, they just dropped all DRM, and that was, to me at that time amazing. Then they continued to improve witcher 2 adding to it also for no extra cost. ) I think CD PROJEKT RED is a truly professional Company, pushing always to make first an foremost a great game. It may not be the most profitable way to make money, but it to me is greatly appreciated, and has my full respect, and My dollars for any new game they come out with.
I truly wish Bioware had not abandoned Andromeda, with so many unanswered Scenarios. But I guess we will have to except these thing's with EA at the control seat.

I completely understand everyone's concerns about the future of our beloved Mass Effect series, because of how Andromeda's development has ended and with all the news circling around its production ☹️
However, BioWare never stated that it's the definitive end of the franchise. Of course, Anthem is the biggest concern of their team at the moment and it will be for some time, but it's not a big red "NO" sign for other projects 😉 Dragon Age 4 is in the works as well.
As a huge Mass Effect fan, I'd love to hear about your suggestions for the next instalment? Would you rather continue some plot lines from MEA in the next game instead of other mediums (*cough* Quarian Ark *cough*) or would you like a brand new story?
/Ataashi
problem is, I dont think bioware has any say in anything anymore.. ME:A did great setup for future development, if they ever do another ME, continue the current story..
New one would only be reasonable if its done in Milky Way after Reaper war. Lore is rich so you can go ether way.
If it wasn't behind the awful Origin platform more people would probably give it a go after the updates and of course time is a great healer.
I've been trying to download the title for over eight hours and EA Origins is just a horrible mess.
I could probably have downloaded, installed and actually ran a pirate version (I'm sure it exists by now) in less time it's taken to get to a cancelled sub 41% download, not enough to play and stayed at 0 kb/s despite turning off all other programs on Windows 10.
I know EA wants to be in control and thus they created Origins but they don't have the servers or the expertise required to make it user friendly.
As I write I'm at under 120 KB/Sec so it's going to take a while if it even finishes this time.
I live in whats basically 3rd world country and Origin handles downloads just fine..
I truly feel for you, having a low bandwidth download speed. I mean you may have a really good service provider.
I live in a rural area, and have only one choice in a service provider for DSL, and there is no cable ( I could maybe get satellite service, but everyone knows it is terrible for any twitch games )
anyway I think my best dl speed is like 2 meg, sometimes, but a lot of the time it is about 1.5, and less. It took me like 4 or 5 days to finally get this game. That was one of the worst parts of it, this "Down Load Only" is pretty hard on me.
I recently got Quantum break, because I got supposedly the entire game on disk, but I finished the first act, and they want you to be online all the time, for streaming video.
Screw them, I uninstalled the game, and threw it on the shelf.. ( Sure you can skip the Streaming video, but that's half the fun of the story. and I do not like being constantly connected. ) so I truly hate Quantum break for sure. This was a Microsoft deal, they want you online all the time...WHY ? I think is something very fishy about that. ( Like the camera in there X-Box one, and the Microsoft person who disappeared after he said it will be great information gathering being able to see everyone's living room )
But Hope you enjoy the game once you get it.
