No DLC for Andromeda?

I think it is a bad idea to shelve the franchise if it is their decision. This really diminishes the trust people have for any future games that may be published which are a part of trilogy or supposed to have storylines carry over into sequels or DLC.

@SmellMyBreakfast ALOT of us bought it digitally, and have played well past a refund point. if anyone DOES manage to get a refund from ea/microsoft/sony by all means let us know, but i dont see it happening with over 100 hours in the game.

I still would like to see some DLCs. I want to see a continuation of the Ryder Family Secret, more on the Kett and more on the Remnant/Jardaan.

But, first I want them to fix some things in the game still. The audio has problems, the lighting has problems, the UI still needs some improvements, the character models need to be improved and the character creator needs to be really improved.

That would make SP worth it to me to continue with for longer term and playing DLC. Without those changes I'll have to think long and hard if I really want to spend more money on the game. I've played too much to warrant a refund. I don't need one, but the game does need some major improvements in the mentioned areas before I would be willing to put anymore cash into it.

I've played a lot in the first 4-5 weeks but I see it's dropping now because I still can't make better looking characters and it's really a shame that they basically downgraded the graphics since Alpha apparently.

So please, first make the game better, then bring out the DLC.

Personally, this may aswell be the end of Mass Effect, because I can no longer trust the developers and publisher to release a complete working title that won't be broken later by shoddy patching and general internal incompetence.

Now that you mentioned this, the most alarming thing is that they thought strange they didn't get the reception they expected, high scores. It was strange, for them, to have that level of complaints. How does that statement translate to us then? Not a bright perspective, to say the least. It shows how divergent both views are.

And whiny crybabies who want refunds after they played over 100 hours once again demonstrate why we won't get a sequel. This is why we can't have nice things. If I was dev and read some of these posts I would change my job cause it's just disheartening how little people seem to think of it.

The game is nowhere so bad to ask a refund. I think they were going in the right direction with those patches.... but then the cold shower of today's news about Bioware future.

Honestly though, if they don't plan to expand upon the ending the game is useless right now. It ends on a so massive cliffhanger, so many questions unanswered, it was clear it was intended to have dlc's and sequels.

It is not a standalone game, the end is too open right now if no continuation is planned.

I seriously hope at EA they figure out they can't let the game die like that.

At least one dlc to bring some closure to the story before putting it to rest!

Related to the topic, another snippet:

"Electronic Arts pledges its support and satisfaction for BioWare, clarifying that the delay of the studio's new action IP isn't connected with the performance of Mass Effect Andromeda."

I agree with the most of it, though the technical hurdles are undeniable; and the patches are partly what the long-term support is for (and huuuge kudos for the Montreal team continuing to work on it!).  I just hope this from EA is not corporate sugar coating...

Come on, show us some more of that galaxy. The BW Montreal team made DLCs for the trilogy too. 🙂

Does that mean there will be no DLC either?

I think this article is stirring up a lot of BS.  We will get an ME:A DLC announcement at E3 or before.  It's totally normal and understandable to move staff to BF2 and a new IP that has been dragging its feet for years (they need to keep games moving). It's like everyone expected ME:A2 for Christmas 2017.

BioWare has a stellar start to a new ME story arc and a few gameplay bugs and excessive unwarranted criticism on one game will not hurt the franchise in the long run.

I'll agree that Ryder is not Shepard (yet), but I look forward to continuing with this new story of exploration and hope.
