No more DLCs for multiplayer. It gets a few different missions cobbled together and some tweaks to weapons. Supposed to be some novels coming to clear up loose ends but as far as I know thats it. EA havent ruled out doing another Mass Effect but its a long time off. They are currently working on Star Wars and Anthem, as well as other products in their portfolio. Anthem has issues from what I hear and keeps being delayed. They still have problems with the loot box mentality and a lot of players I know wont buy EA again. Heard tales of people returning Need For Speed and game shops with shelves full of Star Wars Battlefront.
- Yeah it just seem like they are giving up on Andromeda when there is still potential in the game. Really hope that bioware would give it another go.
Bioware dont even exist any more. EA took them over and shut the studios down. Shame really because they had a history of producing good games. MEA was doomed before it was released, serious issues in development. EA deliberately over-hyped it, showed some flashy graphics footage, and released a broken game. They made a huge amount of cash on the pre-orders and diverted funding and staff to Anthem and other projects. It only looks like it has potential because it was never finished. Thats what really upset people, 3 years of promises deliberately broken. They wont publish another one for a good few years because people will not buy it. I know people that played Mass Effect from the first one that will not buy another EA game. You only have to look around the gaming forums, its poisonous.
PC multiplayer was quite fun, until the cheats took over, EA's only action was to stop paying for the anti-cheat software and remove it from the game. Then they added a ton of rubbish weapons to milk the loot box market. That cost them a lot of players. Most of the top players on PS4 left for Destiny 2, a friend of mine still plays, but only with a couple of friends and he'll be off as soon as another game he likes pops up.
https://www.masseffect.com/news/mass-effect-andromeda-update-from-the-studioCorrection....Bioware does exist, EA just shut down one of the studios of it, which happened to be the one which failed on MEA. Now, if Anthem and next Dragon Age tanks, then I could easily see the studio boarded up and dropped, but so far they are still around. The biggest two issues with MEA in production was they gave a AAA game to the B team, and then mandated a switch to the Frostbite engine mid development....and the B team couldn't handle it and either didn't ask for extra time or wasn't granted it. I know in a interview someone at EA said they could have delayed MEA by up to 6 months and not hurt the financials of the company, so the question is....Was he lying or did the B team at Bioware fail to ask because of some unknown reason??
Sad thing is, patched up the game is decent...not really up to ME standards but still decent and playable...I have almost 600 hours in game according to Origin....but if they had of delayed and released it in current form and then spent 6+ more months improving from there, the game could have been so good and probably would have gotten DLC and further support. Someone in either EA or Bioware really #####ed the pooch on this delay or release decision.......
