If they only did mobile games before, you have to give them credit for making a decent game. But EA should've picked a more experienced team.

They also did the multiplayer aspect of ME3, which is why they got the nod. It's also likely why one of the ONLY things you ever hear anyone praise about Andromeda is the combat.

I enjoyed it well enough. The only thing that really bugged me was all the back and forth and the tedium that it lead to. So much going back and forth. Put in a bunch of effort to do all the quests on a planet only to have the very next mission make you go right back where you just came from. A lot of that could have been cut out merely by letting us turn in missions or get the next step for them with the rarely used vidcon on the ship. Instead of making us go through multiple load screens just to get sent right back to the planet I just left. Many of them had no item to hand over, just a "hey, I did that thing you asked." and those should have all been doable through the vidcon.

It wasn't a bad game. It was inexcusable that the game was released incomplete. But I feel like the criticism the game got kind of got buried under a wave of general negativity and has been lost on EA the developer destroyer.

The ending of the game actually had me really excited since it was more or less what I wanted from ME3. I really hope the series doesn't stay dead.

I have been enjoying the game.

The negativity prior to release hurt the game. Also I am not a fan of the frostbite engine, I think the should have stuck with Unreal. It was the same thing in DA:I.

I had a feeling the reception was going to take a hit somewhere. By the end of ME3, we had a cast of characters that we were attached too, a story that we cared about.

With Andromeda we essentially started from scratch, sure the Lore of the universe is there, but all those other aspects are gone. It was going to turn some people off.

I'd agree that ME:A and DA:I suffered from the same problem - but it wasn't the engine that was the issue.

Deal with it.

I'd be willing to grant you that about 1/3rd of DA:I's story is better than the last 20 minutes of ME3, but that's about the most I'd be willing to concede without suffering a massive concussion.

DA:I's narrative is about 1/3rd quality DA story, 1/3rd soul-numbing MMO-flavored plodding grind, and about 1/3rd "What the fuck were you thinking, writers?"

And I say this as someone who actually used to prefer DA as a franchise over ME (though I liked both of them), AND who never shit on DA2 as much as some people did (narratively, it might actually be the best game of the three, honestly). Just like ME:A was the disappointment that means I almost certainly won't be buying another ME game in the future, DA:I was basically the disappointment that means I won't be buying a hypothetical DA4.

ME:A was a water-down copy/paste of ME1. It did nothing new, and yet somehow scaled back every aspect of the game BUT the combat.

The bad guys aren't even a threat, the new race got boring after the first 30 minutes and the Main character spent the entire game getting bitched by everyone. Then after all that the game just kinda stops, it doesn't even end or anything it just stops. At no point did I ever feel compelled to finish Andromeda because it felt like a chore to play that game.

MEA really was just like ME1

bad stuff happens on the first mission, then you get to spend about 5 hours running around the main space base before you get to go to other planets

I will definitely be replaying MEA and hopefully its sequels. It still has potential despite all of the flaws.

I'm in the camp that says it's not unsalvageable. They are listening to fans concerns and I honestly believe they'll do better in the future. I don't want the death of the Mass Effect universe and I might be lucky because I literally played ME1-ME3 for the first time (four playthroughs for each individual game) and then immediately MEA a week later.

I like the potential of the Angara and their creators. I like the idea that The Illusive Man can possibly return in MEA2. I like that idea that Cora could potentially be his daughter. I like the idea of exploring deeper into Andromeda and meeting more than just the one race. I just love all the myster surrounding "the benefactor" their knowledge of the reapers. I love the potential of having the quarian (and various races) ark reaching andromeda.

There's just too damn much to explore for me to give up on the series.

Technically it does take place after 3.

The hypersleep/hypertravel was 600 years. So the reaper threat came and went and our original heroes save for the asari and krogan are long dead.
