Yeah it’s very sad the state of current BioWare. They used to make top tier RPGs. Jade Empire, KOTOR, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, etc. Now they just try and force multiplayer in everything, and rush all their games without listening to the fans and what we want. Veilguard and Andromeda prove that they have lost touch with what the fans like in RPGs.
Yeah idk how you go from Inquisition (which admittedly wasn't perfect but was very very good in a lot of aspects) to saying oh let's avoid everything that made people love that game and Origins and draw from things people hated about da2 and current AAA games that have nothing to do with this genre.
Like damn, the gameplay of origins and baldur's gate isn't exactly my forte but it still would have been leagues better than what we got. I would have gladly drudged through it for an actually good story and compelling characters
I feel like ME Andromeda gets more hate than it deserves? Like … it’s not great and it definitely doesn’t hold up the ME standard that came before it. But if someone’s FIRST mass effect game was Andromeda? I think they would want to go back and play the others. And I feel like that alone makes it better than people give it credit for. It wasn’t bad on an objective level, it was just bad on the scale of comparing it to literally legendary games.
I agree with that, it’s not a horrendous game and I enjoyed my time with it but I never finished it so that tells you something right there.
Why make another game in the series if you are gonna change majority of what made the original three such legendary games? Should have just went on to make a new IP instead.
Yea. Like I said, it’s not perfect by any means and is an obvious downgrade in comparison. But they went for something and it didn’t work 🤷♂️ can’t blame them for trying. Literally the same year Zelda BOTW came out and that game also took a legendary series and changed a majority of what made it successful and it became one of the most successful games ever. You just never know how it’s gonna go until it goes
