Mass Effect Andromeda
So no mention of Mass Effect Andromeda at E3! Any thoughts? I reckon dlc plans will still be announced at some point, reckon there still just spending most there time with patches n stuff.........

I agree, I think that the whole thing was way overblown. It all started with reviews from sites like IGN... They only played a few hours of the game and made compilations of the worst bugs... So everyone who pre-ordered it got suspiciuos and angry so basically Andromeda was called a faiIure before it was actually released... I don't want to defend anything but some of those reviews quite failed in being objective. Before the game was released I read many of them and watched a lot of vids showing the worst bugs but because I like to make my own opinion I tried it myself. But if I had joined the hate train, I'd have never found out that it's really a great game. Sure, with bugs but as we know there's no such thing like perfection. And when they said, they're gonna fix everything they can, there was no reason for me to lose faith in them because we could've end up with unpolished game and BW turning their back on us so I'm glad that wasn't the case and I hope they won't stop. Now we just've to wait for more patches, more books and maybe even dlc. I believe EA won't throw away an opportunity to make more money and BW'll use it as a chance to fix Andromeda's reputation a little. 🤞
Speaking about OT, I liked it a lot however, I wasn't completely satisfied with ending. It didn't give me the feeling my choices actually paid off and Shepard got a deserved vacation.
On the other hand, It gives me a reason to think about it and make my own theories about what happened next 🙂
That's just my opinion. Of course, I understand that I was one of the lucky ones and there're still people experiencing serious bugs but still I think that situation's getting better 🙂
Yeh the same for me on that, the ending was not well thought out for the trilogy and I can't for the life of me think of any reason why they went with those endings.. Like sure there was always gonna be 2-3 different endings, but how those individual endings went down was poorly done. Not necessarily the actual events of the endings themselves, I'm talking about how they concluded. With no cut scenes with any of ur friends and squad mates that show how there lives went from then on, how the galaxy was properly shaped by ur choices and things... But this I tried my damn hardest to move on and get past it, but to this day I'm still angry with it.... Now for Mass Effect Andromeda they have a chance to try and correct this for all us fans of the series, but they have got to take there time with it. Basically EA have got to give them as long as they need without rushing, give them the support they need and as many people as they need. Cos Mass Effect is a special type of game and because of how massive in scope it is, it's not gonna produce games every 3-4 years other than dlc. For now bioware have got to work there socks of to fix the major bugs that some (not all) players have experienced, and focus on the progression stopping bugs that have obviously pissed some players off. These I'm sure bioware are doing with the best of there ability, then they can work on some dlc... Ur right tho with regards to sites like IGN.... you cannot play a game like Mass Effect for 1hour and give it a legit rating based on that 1hour, or even 2-3 hours really! Just my opinions of course ✌️
Think they will now focus on singing their Anthem rather than showcasing their stepchild.
Well, I hope when Anthem's released that Edmonton won't jump right on making Anthem 2 or something else and gets back to MEA instead.

Considering that Anthem will be part MMO it could go different ways. If you look at Destiny that is getting a Destiny 2 now, there are a few points of interest. The story content apparently was poor or lacking in Destiny 1 and it wasn't released on PC. They announced DLC and a sequel very quickly after the initial release also and this was supposed to be happening regularly over the coming years. Knowing BioWare chances are they would want to make Anthem work for longer than 2-3 years. My suspicion is that this is what's coming out of what they learned from ME and SWTOR.
With Destiny 2 coming out later this year I will be interested to say how Anthem holds up against it. Destiny sold something like 25 million copies or something and that's without a PC release. That's pretty amazing in my book. Mass Effect 3 did about 6 million to make a comparison.
So I'm thinking Anthem will have to do pretty well in the wake of games like Destiny 2 being out for them to start on a sequel right away. It'd be interesting to see what Destiny 2 brings to the table and they'll have some big DLC waiting probably to coincide with the Anthem release. Just my guess of course.
I just don't know if BioWare is actually going to try to follow Destiny or if they are going to want to do things their own way still. Of course, they could actually finally do something innovative and take the lead, but so far I've not seen any evidence of that beyond taking existing ideas a little bit further.
