I think it's a little too early for anyone to actively "dislike" the game, given the fact that so little information has been released thus far. As a matter of fact, the only people (who are ME fans) that I could see disliking the game so early would be people who wanted a prequel, because one of the few things we know is that it takes place long after ME 3.

I have played very Mass Effect game from day one. I have all three collectors editions.. so yeah I love what I saw so far and I will be pre ordering this in yet another collectors edition.

Simple, there is only one ending as canon. Destroy.

Bioware doesn't have the balls to do that. Clearly.

The absurdity of ME3's endings can't escape, even millions of lights years away.

This may as well be a brand new IP, honestly. I wish they had decided to reboot the entire series rather than just pretend the endings of ME3 happened at all by escaping to a different Galaxy that someone isn't techno zombies or doesn't have Reaper tech coming out the wazoo, like both Destory and Control did.

Also... is the game human only? Because if they have all other races, there's a huge problem with that. Namely the Asari - the hundreds, if not thousands (if not tens or hundreds of thousands) of years required to travel to another Galaxy would have resulted in them breeding out all the other species. They live extra long, they actively promote breeding with other species and all their offspring are uniformly Asari. In a closed-society colony environment that would be needed to travel to a nearby Galaxy, they would quickly dominate all other species in a matter of generations.

I have said this exact same thing.  If this is some sort of ark to save these species from extinction by sending them to Andromeda somehow, then even if they are in stasis the whole trip, after they land, there will not be enough of the other races to survive asarination.  They will all be assimilated!  All will be Asari.  But hey, it's Bioware, we have to expect bad writing.

Why should they? It would upset the balance of choice. Plus the Destroy ending is stupid. 

 

As for the game istelf, as said don't know enough to be hyped or anything like that. Lets just say that i am interested.

Could be worse.

Maybe the Elcor will be spared.

MAYBE.

Why wouldn't they?  They live in darkspace, between galaxies.  They are vast, and ridiculously ancient.  What are they going to for a billion years?  They could easily go to another galaxy, searching for organics to save from synthetics.

 

The Reapers originated in our galaxy, that's all that the Leviathans were concerned with. They aren't just here by coincidence.

 

They also aren't quite as powerful as you make them out to be. It takes their full force a very long time to wipe out all advanced life in a single galaxy which they already have set up as a trap and are monitoring.

[JoeTheQuarian]

I don't love it or hate. I am however excited.

[KR96]

I'm joining the 'cautiously optimistic' wagon. I have loved every single Mass Effect game to bits, even the third one, and am really looking forward to playing a new installment. I'm cautious in the sense that I hope they'll find a good way of either dodging the of ME3, which I find sad but understandable, and have a damn good reason for us to be in the Andromeda system.


Other than that I'll be looking forward to any bits of info I can get my hands on!

Does running away from, literally, everything the story ever touched on in some hand waved plot of a colony ark respect choice? You lose everything about the series except the concept of Mass Effect fields and maybe some of the alien races. That's a stupid price to pay to respect a choice that the game makes irrelevant anyway.

[Quarian Master Race]

uhhhhh.....neither, considering I haven't played it and essentially the only material by which I have to inform my opinion is a vague minute and a half long trailer?

[Maniccc]

Well, I guess my solution to the ME3 debacle was too on the nose, so now i have to repost my answer to the TC.

 

1 )  I don't care about Andromeda.  It's not my home, it's no one's home that I know.  I have no connection to it.

 

2 )  It's just a running away very quickly move, it doesn't really deal with anything.

 

3 )  There should not be an ME anything.  After the trilogy, they should have tossed the entire ME universe, and created something completely new.  New sci-fi universe, new tech, no mass effect silliness, new races, new story, etc.  That is the only sane and rational solution to the ME trilogy ending.  Jury-rigging more nonsense atop the pile of nonsense that was the ME trilogy only makes things worst.

Funny, I felt that the destroy option was the only sensible option. I mean, seriously? Uploading your mind to control the reapers? Or, using your final essence to synthesize man and machine? Yeah, right.

I rather see it is a chance to make something new and yet unqiue without having go through the process of what a canon ending would mean. I can understand that people don't agree with that, but if the game had been set in the milky way i would actually have been less excited. Guess that is just me.

A very long time? A couple centuries, MAYBE a millenia, max. That still gives them tens of thousands of years before the next Realing cycle. Yes, most hibernate, but if organics can cobble together an ark ship in a few years to escape before the end of ME3, then ancient, powerful and immortal Reapers can explore the closest Galaxy, at least once or twice, in their hundreds of millions of years of existence.

The amount of time when discussing beings that live for millions of years is extremely relative.

Oh i meant shooting the kid is the only viable option. It is the only option that fits the theme of Mass Effect 3. Victory through sacrifice. Because then the next generation wins the war fairly and not with a blue/red/green ending. That is just my opinion.

It's...well for some at least . The Green is forced and the control is illusive man dream..dunno why would anyone want to pick up his slack...

 

Anyway..don't hate it but don't love either . Didn't even bother watch the trailer...and I'm not holding my breath . 

 

reason ? If they aren't building on the mess they made at the end of Me3...then it's a low blow .

Then they should have just did a full reboot of the story. Mass Effect if there were no Reapers and there was no Shephard. Mass Effect without Reapers has tons of potential. Mass Effect with it was a train wreck in slow motion.

Wouldn't they still be looking then? The universe as far as I'm aware still goes on and on, so if they went to another galaxy (which would bring a whole host of questions like, isn't it possible they all got wiped out by some other super race?) why the hell do they keep coming back to the Milky Way every 50,000 years? I personally think there are a thousand reasons why the Reapers wouldn't go to Andromeda as opposed why they would stay.

And the fact that Mac is Creative Director is assuaging NONE of my worries. The guy was the only writer involved with some of the worst received endings in video game history... and they promoted him from Lead Writer to Creative Director?

I know Canada is known for having some good cheeba, but someone up there is puffing way too much of it with that decision.

Point taken, I've never though about refusing myself, as it seemed so futile, but I definitely understand the point you're making. 

[Sion1138]

I'm not a fan of the constant new and shiny.

 

If you've seen, heard and read enough sci-fi, nothing is going to be new anymore.

 

So I'd definitely stay where there's established value.

 

Still, I'll wait and see.

[Avilan II]

So I've noticed a lot of people already criticizing the game before we have any kind of details of this game.  Aside from the leak, which the only thing to be factual as of yet is that it takes place in the Andromeda galaxy and that we will have a Krogan squadmate (possibly female).

 

But why do you already dislike the game?  

 

Because I don't feel it. It doesn't feel like ME to me. Not only do I absolutely detest the decision to abandon the Milky Way, but rewatching the trailer makes me feel like I'm watching a mashup of Borderlands and Destiny. In fact, the more I watch the trailer, the less I like the whole thing.

I personally think there are a thousand reasons why the Reapers wouldn't go to Andromeda as opposed why they would stay.

Regardless, why wouldn't the Milky Way send a "hey guys, war's over" notice out?

They probably wouldn't have the resources to chase them after Destroy, but Control and Synthesis would both have the full might, knowledge and longevity of the Reapers to catch up and bring them back home. Or, if not, then support them somehow.

I think people are seriously underestimating what "the Reapers are now good guys" would do in terms of the course of the future and the ability of the Galaxy after the war is over. It's stupid over-powered.
