Re: A New Mass Effect Game

I finished it with my female Ryder. Deciding if replaying it already is a good idea.

I enjoyed it, but I feel like I missed something, like there should've been more. Which makes no sense as it's a huge game. This might've had more to do with the fact that I think companion side quests are related to main plot ones, and I put those off for ages so then everything came in at once...

Re: A New Mass Effect Game

I've been spreading it out for companion quests.

Re: A New Mass Effect Game

Yeah, that would've been sensible... Rather than worrying about how many main plot bits I had left and saving them up... I think I play games wrong sometimes.

You fallen off a cliff yet? I discovered I'm not safe with jump jets.

Re: A New Mass Effect Game

I lost count of the times when I got bored of running so started sprint jumping only to go "crap crap crap edge! grab!"...

Now just to get those sodding tasks that are clogging up my journal but require random spawns to grant me the stuff. -_- Who thought random spawn item quests were a good idea?

At least they're slowly patching those... or so the rumours go.

I said slowly. tongue

And it's about all we've got to hope for since they've killed any further development by moving all their guys to work on Anthem.

Re: A New Mass Effect Game

Which I get it, but at the same time, what's the purpose if you're not gonna keep at it. EA bad.

Re: A New Mass Effect Game

Hopefully it's just temporary so that Anthem gets released well. I guess when releasing a new IP it's more crucial to get it right first time than established ones, as you've already got the fanbase who'll buy it and wait for it to be fixed or whatever...

They don't care, if it doesn't make money and keeps making money, forget about it.

So much for all my optimism...

Re: A New Mass Effect Game

Sadness, this just proves they didn't put much effort in it or else they would've tried to fix their problems, but also companies need to stop sending out unfinished games.

Re: A New Mass Effect Game

It's probably deliberate. There's a new theory about business where you realise a "minimum viable product" and then determine if people care about it before spending more time on it and fixing things and making it good... And actually making the bits people actually like good rather than focusing on unnecessary things.

I just hope this isn't the end of Bioware's story driven single player RPG games and that they're not just going into the online RPG stuff that they're clearly aiming Anthem at.

Re: A New Mass Effect Game

I see what you're saying. I hope Anthem is good though, but the market is kinda lacking with good single-player RPGs.

Re: A New Mass Effect Game

I got ME Andromeda the day it came out and I have still not played it or even downloaded it  lol . I have not had the free time to devote to the game until now so this winter with covid19 going on and soon snow on the ground I will have plenty of time to finally sit and play it.

Re: A New Mass Effect Game

My view on Andromeda is that it's a good game, but compared to the mass effect games that came before it, it feels like a let down. But that's more a comment on how good they were.

Also make sure you have all the patches, because the earlier versions were glitchy! Tbf I think there's still a few glitches knocking around because they stopped supporting it. lol

Re: A New Mass Effect Game

Thanks for the heads up and I figured that it wouldn't be as good as the other ME games but that is normally how it happens when you fall in love with a main character like Shepard.  lol
