Fans keep mentioning how this game will be bad, how it is not like the old Mass Effect's. People have compared it to Dragon Age, Destiny, Halo, Call of Duty... ? Where are you all getting your information? Do not leave Larry-three out of the club. I would certainly like to know where all these sneak-peaks and leaks are coming from so I can get my fill.

Where has anyone compared MEA to COD? The only Halo comparisons I've seen (and also done by me) were about female armour.

 

Dragon is another RPG that Bioware makes, and is rightfully comparable. We dont want the same mistakes from DAI to be in MEA

Fans are obsessive by nature. For good or bad you shouldn't take us seriously.

Idiots who have never played CoD like to use CoD as a colloquialism for "things I don't like" even if there is zero relation between the two. An example would be criticizing the multiplayer or shooter combat mechanics.

I would imagine Dragon Age comparisons arise from the fact that it is the same developer, though I can't really comment at length because I'm not really a DA fan (played through Origins once and no plans to get any others), so don't have the basis for making comparisons.

Halo comparisons or predictions could be because the lead writer Chris Schlerf also wrote Halo 4's campaign.

Other than that it is mostly idle speculation or nonsense.

I've seen "fans" who seem to want it to be like Halo, Call of Duty and/or Destiny, but none who legitimately think it will be.

As for Dragon Age, these two series have been borrowing from each other since the younger one started. So, yeah. DAI is probably a good preview for what MEA will be like.

Pick any MP thread at random for CoD comparisons, from people who haven't played any of them and thinks their all the same cause MP.

In answer to your question that you titled this thread: I think fans expect too much.

 

Personally, for me, all I want is just a good singleplayer game, with a good story. After that everything else is a bonus

Where do you keep finding these people? They are minority at best, even on BSN where complaining is a hobby.

[N7Jamaican]

I expect a fun game.  One that is on par with or rivals the first ME game.  I don't want sloppiness, or laziness.

Bioware markets the game with exploration. That sounds like open-world game for me and it didn't work with DAi so I'm worried about how it will work in ME:A. I want to explore in terms of culture, alien races and societies, but not in terms of endless wilderness where you jump around, collect stuff and do fetch quests.

[Larry-3]

Come to think of it, other then the dialogue wheel, Mass Effect 2 is nothing like Dragon Age II, nor was Mass Effect 3 like Dragon Age: Inquisition. So, why would BioWare suddenly make Mass Effect: Andromeda like any of the Dragon Age games?

Mostly on here and Google+.

This is no hate to Call of Duty, but if Mass Effect suddenly became a first-person shooter, then I am leaving. I would not even give any warning -- just get up and walk away.

Basically it is indeed different, haven't you read the latest tweet? There is a reason why ghost rider music waa featured in the trailer. We are gonna murder Andromeda locales all in the name of democracy.... how the hell is that Mass Effect to you?

I think the Dragon Age: Inquisition comparisons have some merit.

 

Not if the posters are already declaring the game is going to be just like DA:I, as we know next to nothing about Andromeda...but if the threads or posts are more along the lines of, "I hope this won't be like DA:I."

 

DA:I is made by the same developer and while the setting is very different from Mass Effect: Andromeda, both games are similar in that they are Bioware's first forays into a partially open world approach. Bioware's first attempt in DA:I was very much a mixed bag, with some elements not being very well received by a large portion of the fanbase. The side content in particular has generated a lot of criticism, with a lot of people coming away with the impression that Bioware prioritized having large open world maps over the amount of interesting content they could actually fill those maps with.

 

Since ME:A is also open world I think it makes some sense that fans might be asking for Bioware to adjust its focus with Mass Effect, and have the amount of interesting story content they can create instead set the limit of the size of their game world, rather than having the size of the game world determine the amount of content needed to fill that space.

 

On that note I think that is also where the handful of Witcher comparisons are coming from. The Witcher 3 also went partially open world, but in contrast to DA:I the side content is getting a lot of praise.

Well of course, they're literally abandoning everything longtime fans loved about this franchise. There will be no returning characters, no returning locations, only a few select of the original species, none of our choices will matter, the story will be completely removed from the original both in space and time and the events of the previous games won't be addressed in any way. Basically it's disconnected from the rest of the franchise, being a part of it in name only. 

 

ME:A is going the way of Star Trek: Voyager, but worse, because Voyager at least stayed in the goddamn Milky Way and tried to get back home, whereas ME:A had fly 2.5 million light years away so Biower won't have to deal with ME3's bollock endings and admit they were a mistake.

[GaroTD]

Ekhem...you still don't know if it actually will be that way. Maybe they will do it another way so fans will be happy about it.

They don't care about our happiness, just our wallets.

[GaroTD]

Such sad but that all "BW will do that, this and that" is silly. You don't know yet how they will do anything. Maybe Andromeda will actually deal in "some" way with endings. Who knows.

[ffejita]

More of the same, but better. I only hope they don't write themselves into a corner with certain gameplay elements. For example, AC: Black Flag had some rather fun gameplay centered around ship battles. In subsequent AC games they had to take that out because it didn't make any sense for them to have it anymore.

 

Accordingly, if the rumors are true, ME:A will have some gameplay related to colony building on other planets. It's almost a lose-lose situation. If it's super fun but doesn't make sense in future titles so they have to take it out, I will be disappointed for those titles. If it's pretty bland and unnecessary then I will also be disappointed.

[GaroTD]

So either way you will end up disappointed...ok

[Hadeedak]

I'm happy they're moving, because I thought the idea of a reboot was silly.

 

I'm also happy that they're taking a way that accounts for the wild amount of variation due to your choices in ME3. Yeah, okay, booking it is kind of silly. But it's much better than trying to handwave enough so that synthesis looks a lot like destroy, and Schrodinger's Quarians are accounted for.

 

Granted, I'm a Mass Effect fan. And I'm not a particularly negative nancy. So here's what I'm afraid of: I'm vaguely afraid the story will be short. I'm vaguely afraid that I'll be pigeonholed into playing another world-shaking hero from the get-go. I'm really hoping it's another trilogy, and it starts slowly this time, with us actually building up instead of immediately being one of the most important people in space. I'm vaguely afraid that the hero will be a bit bland. 

 

You know what I'm NOT afraid of? After ME3, I'm pretty sure the combat will be good. And bless Bioware's little hearts, I'm pretty sure they'll be willing to take some chances, even if results are mixed... That was my biggest guff with DAI. It's so SAFE as a story, I kind of want to shake it.

 

Honestly, based on the one trailer and a bit of PR speak, I'm pretty much mildly giddy. That's not too far off my baseline. When I know more, I'll figure out my expectations.

tbh this is kind of what I'd like too a game with moer thought put into it and an interesting main story. But then Bioware always seem to deliver on that last part imo.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I'm expecting the worst. That way I won't be disappointed. 

[Gileadan]

I'm worried that - and I realize it's at least somewhat irrational - the game will be focused on multiplayer in such a way that the gameplay will be designed with "multiplayer first" in mind, and the single player campaign missions will actually be bot matches on the multiplayer maps with some character dialogue/interaction before and after to string the storyline together.
