If I get banned for posting quotes from Bioware devs who caused their own demise, then so be it.

Worse than Anthem, by a huge margin

Hell, it was built on Anthem

Only sold what it did due to the IP

It was sort of like a far inferior version of Anthem with worse writing/characters.
FIFY, but writing and characters are 90% of the IP.

No :)

Anthem had fun gameplay but everything else was a complete train wreck.

With respect to Mr. Heir, the “gameplay” of Andromeda was frankly its strong suit; it was everything else that was mediocre at best and shite at worst

It had that over Veilguard

The only thing Veilguard had was the final 2 hours that had been completely re-worked by the Mass Effect team. They were called in because the DA crew had just fricked it all up.

It was too late to have ME redo the entire project, as it had to ship, but they got the last 2 hours right.

Every aspect of the game other than that was dogshit

Combat sucked
Hallway zones
Dialog was pathetic
Party system had essentially no user input
Writing was HR-approved slop
Character arcs were retarded and completely unsatisfying
Character models were straight outta Fortnite
Sound editing was weak

Graphically, aside from character models, it was gorgeous
Some of the songs were decent

Andromeda got hard af towards the end

Writing was really bad, character models were a huge negative

Dialog was not great, but not bad

Bioware did this to themselves. If Veilguard hadn't been a garbage game with even more garbage politics inserted into it, they might have proven themselves profitable enough to keep their doors open.

I "liked" it. The gameplay was almost exactly the same as Anthem without the flying. It's the one Mass Effect I haven't managed to play more than once.

A huge missed opportunity. Lets bring these characters into this totally new galaxy, but only introduce like 1 new race and like 1.5 new settlements. Otherwise Andromeda is a baren wasteland devoid of life.

Terrible writing. "Golly Gee, I'm the Pathfinder, her der!!"

I was somewhat intrigued to see where they went with the story, so it was always sort of a shame that the internet hive mind essentially convinced EA to cancel plans for DLC and to re-evaluate the premise for the franchise moving forward.

Well I don’t care what studio you are, if you publish Veliguard your days are over.

I tried that game for about an hour and was like “frick this shite.” It was just awful.

Somehow this lady has me blocked. I don't know that we've ever interacted before.

I spent more than 3 years as one of the writers of #MassEffect4

It was one of the greatest privileges & GLORIOUS challenges of my life. I smiled every day. I worked HARD for the fans, every day.

So when I say I am devastated by the end of #MassEffect I REALLY mean it. I don’t know how to express how gutted I truly am.

As someone who has probably played Mass Effect to completion more times than anyone on this site, I say, “good riddance”.
