It was halted because it was poorly received. It was poorly received because fancunts created unrealistic expectations for it. It is a perfectly good fun game. A solid game that deserves to continue.

"Perfectly good" wouldn't be the words I use to describe those launch facial and walking animations.

From a gameplay perspective, narrative, sync, world/level design, the face animations weren't even my biggest problem

Nor my many freeze glitches even after their many patches which required full quit fo the game app and reloading through 3 long load screens.




No, there was a standard set by the original trilogy. This game didn't come close on an objective standard. You may subjectively like it better, but it's not. You're the exception, not the rule.

The poor reception again was by game journalists who release their reviews mostly before the game is released to the mass market. The journalists didn't have their opinions shaped by fanboys on the internet.

Xbox Metacritic (since that's where the first one was originally released):
Mass Effect - 91
Mass Effect 2 - 96
Mass Effect 3 - 93
Mass Effect: A - 76


Even if you look at PlayStation Metacritic, the original still hit 85 with its delayed release. Andromeda is even lower at 71.

Look at Mr pompous over here. Next time you try being a smart ass make sure you double check your work and research buddy. First off I didn't say wish game was better, neither objectively or subjectively. What I said was the original story was boring as fuck in my opinion and Andromeda has a much more engaging story.

And I mean you can even argue that Andromeda has an objectively better story. The original could be retitled into "generic SciFi save the world already done to death the adventure". Andromeda is about exploration, a new frontier. If you look at the main ideas of both games (save the world vs explore the universe) Andromeda objectively wins. It is a scientific fact that curiosity and exploration is in human nature. Before you take this and twist it (because I know you will completely miss the point of this paragraph), obviously there is more to it than that.

Also it is really funny how you say 'you subjectively like it but it is objectively better, now look at all this subjective evidence to prove my point'. Like how fucking dumb are you?

Is Andromeda an objectively better game than the Trilogy? Probably not. Does that matter at all? No, well apparently it does to people, but it shouldn't.

The animation was a bit wonky, and should have been held to higher standards, but that doesn't detract from the overall experience of the game unless you let it.

The crashes are obviously an issue that should have been caught by quality control. While frustrating it isn't something that should impact your view of the game as a whole, it is an aberration not what the game is supposed to be.

Also I only ever had 1 bug that soft locked the game on me, never had a single crash. I don't believe the issues were actually as bad as people on the internet built them up to be.

People complain that the characters aren't as well developed or whatever, but they are comparing 3 games to 1, obviously with more time the story will be able to develop more and get you more attached to the characters.

"You're the exception not the rule" go fuck yourself. Nothing you say matters, nothing you think matters, you don't matter. Stop having such a high opinion of yourself, who are you kid? Fucking King Louis XIV?

You are also 100% living with your head shoved up your ass if you think journalists, especially game review writers (which can hardly be described as journalists btw) aren't full of their own bias and completely corrupt, especially the ones working for the larger companies like ign.

E: forgot to close this up.

The point being, all the wonkyness that ended up getting the game series scrapped shouldn't have even been part of the decision. All that crap was the dev for giving the project to inexperienced workers and then rushing it. Obviously things that are easily fixed.

The gameplay was fun, it worked, it serviced the story just fine. It wasn't revolutionary but it shouldn't need to be.

The idea of exploration will always grab the attention of humans, the story was good and it deserved to be seen to completion.

There are better games than the original trilogy that are massively successful and people don't point to those as to reasons why mass effect sucks. There is no reason anyone should compare me to mea.

There are also games much worse than mea that go on to be extremely well recieved host because fancucks give it a fair chance instead of holding then to unrealistic standards.

rage much?

Holy fuck you got mad over nothing.

Indeed, that went out of order very fast, furthermore, the arguments are not even very good.
I could point that out, but i won't waste my time with you Blah58, if you'll just freak out again.
So if you swear you can sit back, relax and won't overheat, we can discuss this matter on ME:A

mass effect Andromeda sucks

grab the popcorn

So anyone capable of typing more than 2 words a minute = angry in your eyes? Csb.
