3/10 with statement :
CroGamer002 in Mass Effect Andromeda - Known Features Thread - Who needs Milky Way anyway? [15/6/2015] : The female outfits may be less… promiscuous
I think I'm loosing interest in ME:A. I don't want another politically correct game
It's probably not going to be a *bad* game.
Aside from that? I'll wait to learn some more about it before I pass judgement.
1. BioWare made three duds in a row, incessantly panders to an idiot fanbase ("I want teh xyz-sexual romance", "I want teh choice", "I want to customize my Korganasariturianhybrid") and with each game takes a turn to an unprecedented worse.
I'd say a 4 because I'm a PC Gamer and I firmly believe neither Bioware nor EA give two shits about the PC any more. It'll be an after thought and cheap port. Plus I have concerns the game will be full of political correctness and endless fetch quests, and I remain unconvinced over the leap from the Milky Way to Andromeda and this on going Ark theory nonsense. Perhaps I'll be pleasantly surprised but I certainly won't believe a single word Bioware says in pre-release this time and won't be pre-ordering just to get access to some gun or armour.
Right now my anticipation for this game is a 5/10

While I don't have a problem with romance or choice content (although sexuality was in your face and completely overdone in DAI. It was the focal point of that game IMO and everything else took a backseat. Also one of the biggest reasons I don't care to play the next one.) I absolutely agree that their priorities are backwards. Getting the SJW crew to buy your game is good, but it was really overkill. The video game part of the video game really suffered.
Name me 1 gameplay change to DAI that was to the BENEFIT of the game. Also why were tactics removed? Barrier was a fail as well. If I was going to buy anymore Dragon Age games I would be making that an issue as a fan (nice shortcut on just giving "heal on kill though" lol)...and I would do it before it was already set in stone in the next game. Unless the fanbase actually prefers barrier. I'm glad we could finally jump, but when you jump off of a cliff and you just respawn at the top? Come on.
Unless of course Bioware is planning to leave the gaming industry and become the next Pixar films.
Well, since I'm neither one of the grimdarks who need to offend everyone to get "cutting edge storytelling" and satisfy their self-righteous indignation... nor an SJW who needs constant representation of every minority I happen to belong to (and I do belong to one)...
I'll go with 10/10. I expect the best.

I'm with you on this. I had many an argument over on those forums at the time about how much magic had been dumbed down to the point of complete and utter uselessness and have fears they'll do the same with Mass Effect. With the exception of Jade Empire, I have every game Bioware have developed since Baldur's gate and have seen a substantial reduction in the quality of writing and RPG elements in their games for a number of years now. It doesn't fill me with confidence for this game.
6/10
optimistic but extremely cautious
4, the release date is far too distant to start being excited

I'm pretty sure that ME already underwent its dumbing down back in 2. Or at least, that's the impression I get from reading forums like this one....

I am absolutely opposed to the way BioWare implements choices and I'd rather have none than the horrondous "Here are a few options and their consequences, pick one, you can immediately reload and try the other if you're not satisfied". It brings the narrative to a grinding halt and disrupts whatever immersion might have been there. And it gets worse with each game.
I also do not mind gay romances. What I hate is the notion that romances should be distributed fairly and equally, rendering them artificial, forced and meaningless, that they have gone from welcome touches of character interaction to a necessary feature to the detriment of gameplay and story, that NPCs seem to be more defined by their sexuality than anything else, that everything is automatically attracted to the entitled little brat that is the protagonist played by the entitled little brat that is a BioWare fan, that courtship and wooing amount to listening to daddy issues and exposition dumps and that the romance is basically over once the player reaches the sex scene.
And I see little chance of BioWare improving on both fronts. I brought every BioWare game since 1998. Seventeen years later, this company lost everything that initially endeared it to me and I've had enough.

Too soon to say.
However, given the new Star Wars: Battlefront trailer,
source: http://www.toonzone....rs-battlefront/
the PC graphics will be totally awesome. Furthermore, Comic-Con is around the corner and I expect a PC demo of Battlefront and more info about MEA. Which means, graphics wise, the PC version of MEA will totally outclass the PS4. Unless, Manager Aaryn Flynn and Creative Director Mac Walters decided to duplicate the DAI decision to make the game the same for both platforms.
Also, from the Battlefront PS4 in-game video trailer, we see a shooter. Could be just this portion of the game but I won't like it if MEA is just a shooter.
I'm probably going to with a 6/10. I'm excited that there's a new Mass Effect game (and despite the last ten minutes of it being a pile of caca, I did enjoy ME3) but we know nothing concrete about it. My rating'll likely increase as soon as we have more information about it.
The best part about ME for me is the setting, characterization, and aesthetic. The story can't be worse than the first arc.
I'm an easy 9/10.
8/10 as it is now.
It will be 10/10 if I will enjoy the squadmates they will be announcing.

ME2 had more emphasis placed on the shooting rather than the RPG elements. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since the writing reflected that and ME1's character screen needed streamlining anyway. If you compare Inquisition's Magic with Origin's magic, you'll see that the former isn't even worth the name. From a wide variety of interesting spells to a small handful of similar and largely useless ones. I don't want to see Bioitics undergo a similar nerf.
I'm surprised at how many high numbers are listed considering that the trailer gives no information on game play, characters, story etc and that the setting is so far removed from the previous games. for me the Mass Effect brand is being continued for marketing purposes alone and that is not a good thing in my opinion.
I prefer to keep more grounded for numerous reasons - I've been burnt in the past with deriving high expectations on brand name alone. Also, I don't view EA as being PC friendly and abhor their DLC practices, Bioware more recent products have deviated from what I perceived as being great (DA:I did not do enough to tempt me to buy into) and there are numerous other products I/P's that excite my interest more
Initial: 0
Ark theory and confirmation:4-5
Finding out Walters is still in charge: 0
Current: 0
I didn't think they could make an acceptable game going forward. The move to Andromeda opened up some interesting possibilities. But there's just no getting over the fact that someone who thought up and/or OK'd the ending still has any creative responsibility, let alone being in charge of the damn thing.
For my part, I really hope they provide gamepad support on PC this time around. It would be idiotic not to, but Bioware.
If they don't... well, they probably just sold a PS4 or an Xbone.
1/10 Bioware spends way to much time on trying to pleasing SJWs and trying to be as PC as possible, and it reflects in their dissapointing sales numbers.
Noob question here, what's "SJW"?
