Mass Effect: Andromeda | Official Thread

[Vyk]

I can understand letting the C-Team play with this one. The A team wanted to be done with Mass Effect as a trilogy and move on. And the B team has been busy in their own world. People want more Mass Effect, who else are you going to give it to? Though I believe there are two A teams. Pretty sure Edmonton splits up and shares people. I don't think Dragon Age and Mass Effect were always made by the same people. They probably shared a lot, but it's nothing like ... say Namco's Tales team(s) and Soul Calibur team (if they still exist?) who were pretty much in their own little bubbles making their own respective games

Either way, it sounds like it's Dark Souls 2, and a new team is cutting their teeth. So I guess the future may be a lot more interesting now that they've learned some hard lessons. But I have absolutely no doubt EA was involved in making it a wreck or demanding they push it out early. It honestly wouldn't surprise me that it was delayed so much because EA was demanding some ridiculous online thing. I can't remember but maybe multiplayer was never going to be implemented in this one and possibly they were forced to work on that instead of the base game. It's EA being EA, just like Konami, Ubisoft, WB, and the European branch of Square Enix. Impatient, unrelenting, and greedy. /rant

Either way, it's one of the games I was going to buy twice, so that my girlfriend and I weren't competing for time on it. But I think I'll let my reserved copy sit in the store for a minute and see how the game fairs with her. I still have Gravity Rush: Remastered and Horizon: Zero Dawn to complete before another big game anyway. Plus I may dabble in Torment: Tides of Numenera instead. But I won't forsake Mass Effect. I'm just in less of a hurry to acquire it myself

Edit: Game acquired by girlfriend. Install over, waiting for updates. First impressions incoming. Though I can't promise to speak them here, and not just experience them. But now I'll see what all the fuss is about
