Topic	i accidentally started mass effect andromeda instead of mass effect legendary
ParanoidObsessive 05/31/21 9:05:35 AM #22:	BlackScythe0 posted... Andromeda wasn't even that bad. I was actually looking forward to the sequel. This. Once the fuckton of bugs were patched, it wasn't a terrible game. It was just a relatively mediocre game that couldn't live up to the expectations the Mass Effect franchise had built up. If it had been released as a generic space adventure story that was totally unconnected to Mass Effect (and obviously, if it hadn't been a buggy mess at launch), people probably would have been much more positive about it. I was more than willing to buy a theoretical Andromeda 2. Though now I assume we'll never, ever see one. Which is a shame, because I honestly don't see how they can possibly continue the franchise in any other way without pissing a LOT of people off, and I can't imagine a scenario where EA decides that they're fine with no more ME games. People say they want ME4 with more Shepard, but I feel like that can't be anything other than terrible. Skipping ahead hundreds of years will effectively just be another reboot (and will feel like a massive cop-out when they have to invalidate whatever ending you picked for ME3 for it to work), and doing a "prelude" taking place before ME1 (maybe even in a previous cycle) will feel too alien because you won't realistically be able to have humans in it (unless you tuck something in between First Contact and ME1 - but that feels more like a side-story than a major game plot). It doesn't even feel like they can pull another Andromeda ("There was actually ANOTHER Initiative secretly planning to colonize the Triangulum Galaxy!"), because that feels like it would be a HUGE cop-out. Andromeda was pretty much the only way they could continue ME effectively, and they fucked it up. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:954486907] in i accident...
