I hope they just make Andromeda and then let the series die.
But EA loves milking the sh!t outta IPs, so there will probably be a 5th, 6th, 7th....
Have you seen how popular Star Trek got? This game series is literally compared to Star Trek, which is still popular, and is still making money.
I do not expect that the Mass Effect Titles will fade for a LONG time.
The premise doesn't interest me. Any protagonist, even if they're the best-written protagonist of all time, will still be in Shepard's shadow. If they try to mitigate that by making the character exceed Shepard's might, it'll rightly get called out as a transparent, obnoxious attempt to get the character points with the pro-Shepard crowd. I don't really care about Andromeda, either. IMO the franchise should've ended with Mass Effect 3, or barring that, a continuation of Shepard's story. I think we'll get that eventually, but whether we do or we don't, this feels like a shoehorned, ancillary side story.
I like the switch to Andromeda, why? Because this is a Sci-Fi story, they needed to move somewhere else as we have seen pretty much everything to see from the Milky Way throughout three games. Andromeda will have new species, new planets, new Nebulas and so much potential.
Nonsense. Less than 1% of the Milky Way was explored in our cycle, and we saw less than 1% of that 1%.
Andromeda offers nothing that the Milky Way does not already offer, while the Milky Way offers things that Andromeda can't.

They cannot cover every single star system in the Milky Way, they covered the major star systems with Mass Relays. There are no new major species in the Milky Way to come about. Andromeda will have new species, new planets, new Nebulas and so much potential.

Sure they can. They're doing it with Andromeda, so why not the Milky Way? Plus not all the Mass Relays have been activated yet.
We have no idea whether there aren't any other alien races in our galaxy. Again, less than 1% has been explored by our cycle. There are several different races in that 1%, so there not being any in the other 99% is laughable.
As for nebulae, they're all going to be made up so I don't give a hoot about those. The Milky Way has real nebulae we could have explored, and that would be exponentially better.
Any potential in Andromeda exists in our own galaxy.

All the major species' in the Milky Way capable of space travel have pretty much been discovered, all the way down to the Yagh. They want something Totally new, and I think a lot of the community does too. I for one do not want to travel around the same galaxy for the next two or three Games.
No man's sky is taking a new approach, A HUGE new approach.
Mass Effect: Andromeda might do something like this also.

Yeah, but traveling from two supposed opposites of the galaxy (Citadel & Omega) in a matter of five seconds didn't exactly help with the immersion, especially not when the same weapons, armor, vehicles, technology and species are present and both locations, ME2 really didn't handle scale very well.
Furthermore, pretty much every thematical aspect that made mass effect being mass effect is gone; The Reaper Cycle, the mystery of the Mass Relays and the Citadel, the Quarian exile, the Genophage, the tensions between the council and Terminus and Humanity as the galactic newcommers. Pretty much the only thing left at the end of ME3 that set Mass Effect apart from other science fiction series are the Aliens, you may as well ship them over to another galaxy and try something completely different, which is what Bioware is doing.

The whole problem switchin galaxys is not this one IMO.
I feel slapped in the face because from 2009 to 2012 I did read all codex entries, I explored every corner of every place, I tried all dialog options with all npcs and learned everything there's to learn from the trilogy, I even read some of the comics, played ME: Infiltrator, and used the scenario to play Gurps with my friends, now I get this from BW: " Our artisctic vision destroyed the whole scenário, so everything you liked the most so far is discarted. Here, Enjoy!!!"

I'm pretty sure all the Races from the Mass Effect Trilogy will be in Mass Effect: Andromeda. And a lot of the technology. As for reading about worlds, there will most likely be elements from those worlds reflected in Mass Effect: Andromeda.

All the major species in the 1% of the galaxy explored, yes. All the major species in the entire Milky Way, not even close.
A lot of the community also wants to stay in our galaxy, especially since over 99% of it would be totally new.
What are you trying to promote in that video?

Yep. They threw everything but the most basic things away.

I'm pretty sure that I heard somewhere that No Man's Sky will have Billions of star systems. How can they handle that? The game is randomly generated.
EA Does not want Mass Effect to stay in a Galaxy where they will have to include every single planet from the previous games and then add more, and update it ALL, I think they want something they can work on and have new ideas with.

Then have it take place in part of the 99% of the Milky Way that hasn't been explored. There, it is now exactly the same as what they're doing in Andromeda, just with none of the negatives attached to it.
EA Is not about Randomly generated gameplay, so when they have to go about updating every single planet for a new title, it's just not going to happen. The next title in the Milky Way comes out, someone says "Why can't we visit the Citadel anymore?" It's because they didn't have time to update the graphics of every single place while adding new places in the game.
They cannot cover every single star system in the Milky Way, they covered the major star systems with Mass Relays. There are no new major species in the Milky Way to come about. Andromeda will have new species, new planets, new Nebulas and so much potential.
That's pure nosense, the mass relay's only cover a small percentage of the galaxy yet the vast majority of them remain inactive so there's still a lot left to explore and that's not even counting the systems that are outside the relay network. There's bound to be lot of space fairng species that exist outside the relay network that developed their own technology. Going to another galaxy is just completely unnessary since a story about exploration can easily been done in the MW.

It would take like 70 years to create 99% of the milky way that hasn't been explored if we have only explored 1% in the entire mass effect trilogy.
Andromeda has potential for new major star systems, I like it.
Given that we have only explored 1% of the Milky Way, it's not inconceivable that there is another species just as or more advanced than any of the Mass Effect species.
However the reason for leaving is so they don't have to try and work with the mess that the ending to Mass Effect 3 left us in. It's a lot of different choices to try and honour, and they don't seem to want to just come out and make one route canon which I wouldn't have been against them doing since it would mean being able to keep certain iconic imagery like the Citadel or Mass Relays.
Of course if they did do that, then we'd have a bunch of threads crying that they "made their choices irrelevant".

But I think you're forgetting they have to account for every ending in Mass Effect 3, most likely the sole reason humans are moving to another Galaxy in the first place.

You don't explore all 99% of it in a single game. They just choose a part of it, like say another 1%, for us to explore.
It'll take longer to create Andromeda, since it is a lot bigger than the Milky Way. Yet you're fine with Andromeda.

So instead we go to another galaxy, which makes everything we did irrelevant.

I think most people don't want the next game to be relevant to the decisions we made in the Mass Effect Trilogy.

Well, you're wrong.
"Ghost Riders in The Sky"
Probably a reference to a Shepard Reaper that went to the Andromeda Galaxy, you have to fight a giant robotic organic version of your character if your character survives in the end of the third game and you import your save into "Mass Effect: Andromeda"
Shepard Reaper to my character: "I'm tired of your disingenuous assertions."
Me as a new character in reply to Shepard Reaper: "What?"
Sure they can. They're doing it with Andromeda, so why not the Milky Way? Plus not all the Mass Relays have been activated yet.
