Yeah... unfortunately everything in the Milkyway including deactivated mass relays have been scrapped. Nothing is spared
This is what I was trying to say.

So instead we go to another galaxy, which makes everything we did irrelevant.
Pretty much, but Andromeda is more like "We aren't saying your choices didn't matter, just that we're not going to be around to see them this time around".
Making one set of choices from Mass Effect 1-3 canon would likely bring a lot more complaining.
I'm not upset by the idea of either course of action personally, but I think do that it was absolutely necessary to do something about the endings so you aren't stuck creating even more branching paths in an attempt to acknowledge every choice from Mass Effect 1-3.
Another option would have been to place it during the two years that Shep was dead in between Mass Effect 1 and 2.
Who knows, EA could return to have a game relevant to the decisions we made in the Mass Effect Trilogy, but it will be a long time before we see if that happens.
This is what I was trying to say.
No, you weren't. You're happy they scrapped the Milky Way. The person you quoted is not.
People throwing Mass Effect Andromeda under the bus a full year before its release.
That smells like " Human Race " to me. I said in a topic a few months ago, " this happens with every single game from famous series. "
When Battlefield 3 was released, everyone in the first weeks said that the game was awful and that Bad Company 2 was perfect. When Battlefield 4 released, pratically everyone said the same thing: THIS GAME IS HORRIBLE, BF3 WAS THE BEST BATTLEFIELD EVER!!!!
The same happened with Dragon Age Inquisition, and I bet that will happen again with the next Dragon Age game. When Mass Effect 2 released a lot of people that even played the game said that Mass Effect 1 was better and blá blá blá, after they played the game, they've opened their eyes and saw how awesome was it. The same happened with Mass Effect 3, that is a very good game. The ending is awful, but the game itself is good.
It also remembers me of Call of Duty: Black Ops, when Activision announced. Everyone was talking stupid things and blah blah. But when the game released, it has broken records as the most played multiplayer in the first days if I remember correctly. When Naughty Dog announced The Last of Us, a lot of people said stupid things because: Oh no... Another Post-Apocalyptic Game.
This kind of people see one comment in which someone is complaining and then they follow. Here in Brazil we have a way to call these people: Maria Vai Com as Outras. The kind of people that think it's funny to say random stupidity on the internet, just because someone else has done it before.
If there are people setting Mass Effect: Andromeda on fire and throwing the game under a bus or even a tank. WON'T STOP ME FROM PLAYING THIS GAME, my parents always said to me to don't pay attention to what people say, unless it's worth of your time and consideration.
That's all... And please forgive me about my english ![]()
I think most people don't want the next game to be relevant to the decisions we made in the Mass Effect Trilogy.
I actually don't know why I said this, a lot of people probably do want their decisions from the Mass Effect Trilogy to be relevant to Mass Effect: Andromeda
But it turns out, the end of Mass Effect 3 is as relevant as it can be to Mass Effect: Andromeda. ![]()
I'm confused. Lol
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.
No, you weren't. You're happy they scrapped the Milky Way. The person you quoted is not.
I did not say I was happy they scrapped the Milky Way, I was just saying that's why they're moving to Andromeda.
Who knows, EA could return to have a game relevant to the decisions we made in the Mass Effect Trilogy, but it will be a long time before we see if that happens.
The Mass Effect trilogy had two years between games and even then only 50% of people at most had a save import.
After Andromeda comes out and possibly gets some sequels we could be coming up on a decade after ME3. At that point why bother?

Yes you did. You've been praising their decision to go to Andromeda while putting down anything involving staying in the Milky Way.
I made a save the Mikkyway thread mknths ago and Bioware deleted it while they personally hand picked every pro Andromeda threads and migrated it here. The amount of time spent in Milkyway is basically scrapped due to a small freaking 10 minute ending.... I have no problem Shepard dying or the crew dying but an entire Galaxy? I am not even Catholic but JESUS H CHRIST! Thd problem is.... the only way to save the milkyway is to reboot Mass Effect 3 and have one canon ending. Me 1 and 2 had a canon beginning and ending and I already stated this a thousand times probably why so many hardcore bioware defenders hates me.
You don't even need to reboot Mass Effect 3. Just come out and say "canon is that Krogan got cured, Quarian/Geth now work together, and destroy was picked".
Or whatever choices you want to make canon. Those are the three big ones.
Actually, it'd be interesting if they just chose the most popular picks. That way, the community got a hand in shaping the future of the galaxy and we see a fully fleshed out game around those choices that doesn't have the baggage that they would trying to acknowledge everything.
Andromeda really is the deciding factor of whether there will be more Mass Effects. If it sells great and have raving reviews you bet more will come.... if it fails then we have a problem.... a big oneThe Mass Effect trilogy had two years between games and even then only 50% of people at most had a save import.

They can rest but not an entire galaxy what the hell! Besides the journey you are going is determined by your destination which means your journey is worthless since the destination had no fruitful outcome except artistic BS. No wonder more games are becoming more low quality in terms of substance. This is why I am playing old games againI'm pretty happy Shepard's stepping out the spot light and were leaving the Milky Way.
I must be one of the few who wasn't disappointed by the ending, maybe in-hind sight my particular Shepard was just ready for it to all end.
I was content. Besides Mass Effect was never about the destination for me but the journey.
Though I do understand how those against Andromeda feel, as if everything that was Mass Effect & Shepard is being brushed under the rug to be forgotten.
Honestly what benefit is there to staying in the Milky Way? I say lay ME,ME2,ME3 to rest.
Let Shepard rest, they've been through enough.

Thing is sooner or later Bioware will need to deal with the issues of the ending (and the trilogy for that matter) one way or the other. Bioware's unwillingness to address them is going to end up hurting them in the long run.

I like for the game to do well. I believe it will. Only time will tell how well it does
.... if it fails then we have a problem.... a big one
That depends on how badly it fails. I'm sure it would be up to EA what they want Bioware to do next.
Does anyone have a general idea how the "switch" to Andromeda was recieved by the general public (I mean us)?
Did the majority liked or disliked such move?
More shep worshipping. I wish I could relate, but getting a new protagonist is IMO exactly what I need from a new Mass Effect.
Nope. I just like that when a franchise is centered around a protagonist, the franchise does not deviate from following that protagonist. There's not much to it.

Well, to be fair, we're as much part of the general public as anyone else is.

General Public for our new CO in ME:A. ![]()
Not at all. Enough time can go by until they can either reboot the whole thing and no one will care or just pick a canon ending.
I seriously doubt people will forget the uproar the endings caused and its issues, they'll have to face the music eventually they can't run away from it forever.

And if they do recton them they'll likely annoy the people who did like the endings.
That was a good joke.
They already faced the music. They're just not going to retcon those endings. Nothing they do with them will ever make people who hate them happy. And if they do recton them they'll likely annoy the people who did like the endings.
They haven't, there's still plenty of unanswered questions left that the EC didn't answer regarding the galaxy at large.
