Unfortunately, Bioware has no future plans for updating the game nor releasing any single-player DLC.

They abandoned the game. They, EA and Bioware.

Last update was for MP bug fixes wasn't it ?

Yes, I think it was.

Yeah, because the gaming community is full of a bunch of whining assholes.

That has nothing to do with anything; Mass Effect: Andromeda simply didn't sell as well as previous Mass Effect games. Without sufficient demand for the IP, and EA's primary focus on the more profitable "games as a service model", there is no incentive for EA to prioritize resources for continued development of Andromeda for only diminishing returns.

I would argue that the game was killed in sales because of the whole "outrage" thing. Yes, the facial stuff is kind of stupid, but it still seems like a silly way to kill the game.

Though honestly I never felt like there needed to be another Mass Effect. Better if there was a new IP.

Alternative interpretation: They made a bad game and decided to not waste any more time and money trying to fix something that was broken on a fundamental level.

I finally got around to playing Mass Effect Andromeda. Those animations really are terrible. Characters are ugly and wooden, and their hair in particular is really messed up a lot of the time. When characters are moving, they'll often look like they're having miniature seizures.

Gameplay wise though, this game is shaping up to be really fun. I'm liking the open world design, and damn is it fun to jump around.

*eyes bug out of head* MY BRAND!

That sucks. Even the first Mass Effect had DLC. Bring down the sky was pretty good.

Considering how many people I see say they like the game as a whole, doesn't sound very "bad"

It just has stupid moments. Like most games ever do.

Nothing is truly unlikable. If you want to pretend that this is a valid argument of something's merit, then there is damn near nothing in this world that is truly "bad."

The thing that sets it apart from "most games" is that it lacks anything that makes most people want to put up with these "stupid moments."

I beat the second Necromancer boss in Darkest Dungeon, and it didn't go too bad.
In fact, it went great!

Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man.

There was still ridiculous internet outrage about it. But that's nothing unusual. You get Internet lynch mob outrage about everything.

[Licana]

Nothing really ridiculous about it; it was a poorly made game. Poorly made media gets lambasted, especially when it is a part of a large and well-liked franchise.

The blood boiled something fierce playing the last few missions of Modern Warfare on veteran.

The Treyarch games are so much worse.

Like at least the Modern Warfare games don't spawn grenades at your feet if you're in one place too long.

I remember, and part of this is due to me being a stubborn wanker a lot where in the mission where you are fighting your way down through that village after getting assad (where you have to get to the chinook at the bottom) and the fucking game auto saved as i walked around a corner and got shot in the head by an RPD. I died due to that fucker, like 20 times before i was able to crouch fast enough and shoot back without dying the process. Then i died a fuck ton more times after that trying to leave the house each time i did it i restarted the mission.

That was actually the last one i completed on veteran in the campaign, did all the ones after that then went back and did it. Dont know if i got mile high club or not, cant remember, that one can go fuck itself as well.

[Abserdia]

I'm so excited for the Dwarf Fortress update. I didn't start playing until a few months ago, but they're going to add and change a few very interesting stuff. Like spies, expedition parties you can send off into the world, and the artifacts (curiosities, basically) are going to be expanded upon a lot.

I'm not sure if this is all being added in the next update or over the course of multiple, though. I imagine just one, since the dev has been working on it for a very long time, but I dun know.



I finally got the platinum trophy for Undertale.
It took too long, though. Literally all I had to do after beating it was exploit a poor colleg graduate for money and then waste it all on a mysterious shrine dedicated to Toby Fox.

Ah, WaW veteran, where the enemy has more grenades than bullets. And you have as much health as a wet piece of tissue paper.

I've been playing "One Shot, One Kill" on veteran for a good hour, just on the bit where you have to wait for the helicopter. It's made me possibly the angriest I've ever been at a video game. Once, the chopper was right there, I was about to pick up MacMillan and some dude comes out of nowhere and just unloads his entire AK into my back. And then I stopped trying in case I broke something.

So, I think I had the most successful Stronghold 2 run in peaceful mode ever. I was able to tax my people to the highest level possible, which is "Extreme Cruel Tax" which gave me over 400 gold at the cost of 16 popularity. But even then, the people still love me because of the double rations of food I gave them, the Mass Exultant(Which consumes candles extremely fast but gives me +8 popularity) that keeps happening at the Church, and the jousting, traveling fairs, and musical guilds. And because I have over 1500 gold, I've been able to buy more toys for my Torturers' Guild to..."rehabilitate" the criminals. Strangely enough, they only use the flogging posts, and not my stretching rack, gibbet, gallows, burn stake, humiliation mask, stocks or torture wheel. I also happened to buy an entire army mainly consisting of warrior monks(that is Christian monks armed with swords and shields), Arab mercenaries, armed peasants, and spearmen. So, I'd say I done did good.

Speaking of Stronghold 2

Except that criticism of the poor visual and literary qualities of a game which belongs to a series that has been historically advertised as having an emphasis on storytelling and character interaction is perfectly valid and reasonable. There have been many other AAA games on the market for the past couple years that have had none of the issues that Andromeda had, so why should consumers ignore the flaws that diminish the overall experience if it's proven that a certain standard of quality in animation and writing is feasible to maintain?

The rest of Mass Effect Andromeda certainly does not have enough impact to be able to supersede the writing and animation issues which had the been case with other games. The gameplay, level design, and story are all mediocre and not memorable in any way.

[The Albali Republic]

Right, I've beat CoD4 Remastered's single player on veteran. Now for Mile High Club; don't be surprised if you hear that I've murdered someone.

The community kind of brought down the Mass Effect the second they decided it was not as good as the previous entries.

It's a fun game, but I can't help sympathizing with those who don't care for it. Weird animations and bugs aside (which I still get them), the story is kinda meh, and combat isn't that great. I'm also more interested in knowing what the hell happens to the Milky Way.

They wrote themselves into a corner for that.
