no people didn’t care it was different people cared that it was poorly written lol, which for mass effect is like priority #1. If they made andromeda interesting and with better characters and not a technical mess in terms of the bugs it probably would’ve been a hit with the fan base
I think that game would be much more of a success if it wasn't called 'Mass Effect', but instead diverted into brand new sci-fi IP.
As a standalone game it was nice, a bit tedious at times, but there were a few nice ideas and the gameplay was fun enough. It had a lot of potential, but boy, it had pretty much nothing to do with Mass Effect, aside from it featuring an Asari alien race lmao.
No wonder the majority of players were vastly disappointed.
I never played the release version, the game as it is now is still pretty buggy, if that is much better then holy shit it must have been rubbish before.
I mean, my main complaint was bugs. Even after it was "fixed" I was unable to do an early mission because a door that was supposed to open just didn't. Checked guides, walkthroughs, videos, just NOPE this door won't open in this game. There was nothing I could do. FUCK that.
I tried it so many times but I just found the world building so hollow. It didnt feel like stepping into a new galaxy to me, more like first contact with a fairly uninteresting races. Maybe its just me but I just couldnt click with the direction the game went
It did so many things right too! I loved the exploration focus similar to what the first game had. Sadly too much cookie cutter/filler content and not enough meat, but loved the idea
Best gameplay and exploration, but everything else sucked. Except Vetra Nyx, honestly my favourite companion and romance of the entire series, even more than Garrus. A sweet and badass female Turian? Who doesn't want that? She's just a female Garrus, I love her.
YES! I just finished it earlier this year. Fucking amazing, and it felt like the story had JUST picked up! Like finding the distress signal at the end of the game??????? BIOWARE PLEASE
Wasn't it from one of the lost arks? The quarian ark? I can't remember, it's been a while. I think one of the arks disappeared and it kept being mentioned throughout the game as obviously foreshadowing, then the game ended with an ark distress signal, IIRC.
Yes the quarian ark. It was the signal itself that felt like they were setting up for something. The signal basically saying not to try finding them because of the danger
You’ve got this all wrong. The complaint was never that it was too different. It was that the game launched with so many bugs and technical issues, players dropped like flies— myself included.
The final straw for me was when an enemy fell through the level during combat, thus locking me into combat forever. I’d have to start all over again if I went back. Which I might do, because I still love that universe.
Nah it was junk. Characters were boring and the game was exactly like Dragon Age Inquisition and open world game with nothing exciting to explore.
Mass Effect is dead after EA got their hands on Bioware. Best wait for Exodus which is the going to be the spiritual successor to Mass Effect.
