latest Andromeda news
In case you heard about the news about MEA canning the DLC, it's apparently a hoax. More info in the vid below... Good that Bioware brass finally said something. It's about time! https://www.yout...
Jason Schreier from Kotaku posted a new article where he says he's almost certain no DLC is coming, based on conversations with three anonymous sources.
Opinions on Schreier are all over the place. Some say he's very reputable, some say he isn't. We'll have to wait and see to be certain. I was quite satisfied with the base game and I won't lose sleep over lack of DLC. Let's hope the planned books wrap up some loose ends so we get some closure on storylines.
Looks like Schreier really tries hard to keep up with the news but, however credible it may seem, I'm still not convinced and won't be (even if he wrote thousand articles) unless I hear from EA or BW.
And the same goes for Yong and this
When it comes to the upcoming books, the 2nd one and it's weird codename / working title (The Lost Ark) or whatever that is really keeps me wondering. At least the 27th of June proved to be false release date (as expected) and now there's other date on Indigo Books stating that it's gonna be the 3rd of July but interestingly, this time it says it's audio version. But tbh, I don't see that happening either.
I guess we'll find out soon anyway... 🤞
EDIT:
I hadn't noticed this thread before (thanks @SofaJockeyUK for posting that) so now I'm really curious if that's true 🙂
This is turning out to be a ping pong game, i'm more inclined to believe that we'll have a story DLC but that's just my opinion.
However, now, it seems that everyone is telling that this rumor is fake:
Anyway, i'm giving up on this, it turned out that Andromeda was a big disappointment, after 5 years of development. I do enjoy the game but .... it doesn't have the same feeling the trilogy had. I'm going to leave this at that.
I would love to see a DLC, and hope that Bioware do have free reign to produce one without the parent company attaching an anvil to their legs as they do. I would also hope that they let them polish and tune the game to iron out the existing issues FIRST before putting even more code in that then furthers issues that have become rather ingrained.
I am more concerned at the moment with how communication occurs between the publisher/devs and the playerbase in an official news/here's whats coming sense, and that any attempts to break through that seem to be met with a stoney silence.
We know Anthem is coming, we know no mention was made of ME:A at E3 in any way.. but as fans of Mass Effect who have likely bought all or most of the titles in the mass effect series, it does make us repeat customers who have/had faith in the product line so we do in a way get a bit troubled when we see reviewers going off half-cok'd and roasting a game before its had chance to have some early issues fixed, and then toasting it the whole way just for reader views.
Could it have happened differently? of course it could, and many of us wish it could have been different, but hindsight is a truly wonderful thing and sometimes you just have to look at what you have have right now and just HOPE that things get resolved.. and thats why we need bioware and ea to do right by its fan base for those who have stood by them through thick.. and thin.
