Kinda not fair to devalue one franchise considering you've never played it. 

 

Rather iffy on sci-fi in general and from I heard the game basically punishes you unless you play a xenos coddling space hippy.

[ZombiePopper]

Anyone else with me? Cause damn, I couldn't care less about ME, but I want to know what happens next after Trespasser.... especially cause you know... Tevinter the most awesome place in Thedas.

No.

Do you base all of your opinions on stuff you've heard from other people?

 

The point is that unless you've played both you can't value one as more important than the other. Certainly not to the point where you're suggesting basically punishing people who have been waiting far longer for their sequel just so you can have yours sooner. Just sayin'.

Except Drasanil is right.

Some. That's kind of the point of reviews, wiki's etc.

That's a farcical assertion. I clearly can and do value one more than the other.

What sequel? The story of Shepard is done. They have to move to a different galaxy to even account for the possibility of civilized life still existing at all, that's not a sequel, it's at best a spin-off. Just sayin'.

Although I really want DA4 to have been here yesterday, I'm excited for the new Mass Effect; we've been away from the universe for too long. I suspect I'll get really involved in ME:A and, then, hopefully the new IP (as long as it's single player, please let it by single player). By the time both of those games are wrapping up DA4 should be just around the corner. That's what I tell myself anyway.

[Donk]

Relax, it's all a matter of "personal opinion" and "subjectivity".

 

Is it a full moon?

[ADelusiveMan]

Mass Effect 1 was my first Bioware game, so I'm obviously all for ME, but yeah, after Trespasser, I just want more Dragon Age

And you personally valuing something is different than suggesting than proposing a developer to value their own content the same way, particularly if it means abandoning something in favor of a completely different thing.

 

If that's the way that you define sequels then I guess no Dragon Age game is a proper sequel either, as it doesn't continue with the same main protagonist. At this point no one knows how much of the trilogy is going to carry over to the new game, so neither one of us is really in a position to decide if it counts or not.

Lol, that's actually a perfect analogy for the ME series. ME2 punishes you so much for daring to not fit the two stereotypes of "Paragon" and "Renegade" and sometimes the choices for paragon/renegade points don't even make sense.

Eh, who cares. I think the OP was tongue in cheek and just a clever way to express his/her love of DA. It's not like Bioware is going to drop Mass Effect! No worries!

I'm looking forward to both, and very much looking forward to Tevinter

 

Not only are they  different teams (as many people in this thread have pointed out) but a friend who worked at EA years ago said those two teams are highly competitive with each other even though they're the same company.  I don't know if that's still the case, but maybe we could use that?  Get the DA team to push harder for approval and double down on making DA4 because Andromeda is coming out?

 

I know.  They just finished an awesome game, and they were probably looking forward to sleep.  But I think we all need our fix sooner rather than later, addicts that we are

 

Also, "hofflenosh" is my new favourite word.

True enough

Each DA game builds up on past events and takes place in thedas. ME:A takes place in an entirely new galaxy.

[thebatmanreborn]

I like both. Fantasy writing takes time. Give them a chance. I'm still waiting for Patrick Rothfus...

[Lunatic Lace]

Like I said before, it's kind of hard to compare when no one really knows much about MEA, but I don't really think that ME:A will be able to avoid building on at least part of what happened in the past games. That obviously remains to be seen.

 

DA:O takes place in Ferelden, so it made sense that in the sequel they expanded beyond that to show a new story in a new region. The first Mass Effect takes place in the whole of the galaxy. After the completion of both the main protagonists stories (Shepard/The Hero of Ferelden) it just makes sense to move on and go somewhere new. The HoF was barely touched on in the sequels, and honestly an honorable mention such as that is probably the best that we can assume for Shepard as well. Despite it being in an entirely different place with new characters and not all that much tying one into the other I wouldn't consider DA:II to be less of a sequel. Again, this is just my opinion and others are absolutely welcome to their own, but without knowing more about Andromeda the main difference seems to be more about scale than anything, new regions of the world vs. new regions of the universe.

After ME3 , it's really hard for me to care about Mass Effect.

But it wasn't my favorite thing to begin with anyway , SF isn't my thing , I didn't care about Shepard , and I found most companions to be meh.I liked the story in ME1 with the Reapers , it went downhill in ME2.

Although shooting stuff is always fun , and ME had great epic cinematics when it felt like it.

 

So yeah if they ditched ME to work on DA I would be happy.

But this is never ever going to happen.

[Fearsome1]

I first came to Bioware (and video games for the most part) via Mass Effect 2 and I've enjoyed all of the ME games; plus I definitely look forward to Andromeda. But, after having enjoyed ME 2, I tried out Dragon Age: Origins. I've been hooked ever since and this franchise is my personal favorite game. I have incessantly played each and every DA game and all related dlc. Given that they rebuilt from scratch using Frostbite 3, I have high hopes that perhaps the wait won't be too ridiculous for Dragon Age 4. Mass Effect will consume much of Bioware going into next year, and their new IP will also pull development resources and personnel also, but if we are lucky based upon the accolades and sales for Inquisition, maybe EA/Bioware won't wish to push the next chapter too far down the road??

[ArianaGBSA]

Mass Effect is something sad, it could be good if we could play other races and more options but as it is, boring. ME:A confirmed human PC right? So boring confirmed.
I'm sad because the franchise could be interesting, I hope they make a MMORPG where we can play at least 6 different races.

[Apollexander]

I don't get your point. Isn't it too early to ask for information on DA4? We just got Trespasser two weeks ago, and DA4 will come no earlier than 2017 (if there is a DA4). MEA is coming next year so it is the priority. I don't see the conflict.

[AstraDrakkar]

I've played all the DA games and only one of the ME games. ME is only mildly entertaining for me as I prefer medieval swords and dragons over spaceships and lasers. I'll probably eventually buy ME:A, when waiting for the next DA game becomes unbearable for me.

[Al Foley]

I rather enjoy ME the trilogy were all pretty good games either tier 1 or tier 2.  The games are classic and I am really looking forward to ME A.  But, right now, there seems to be so much philosophical red meat in DA to carry it over.  So they should not just drop all development on ME A, it would be rather....well...its going to be hard to wait. 

[Erstus]

My tastes tend to flow back and forth between fantasy and sci-fi genres, so I am eagerly awaiting the next ME game myself.    Besides, its not like one actually affects the other.    If anything the other can take elements that work well from the other and avoid those elements that are heavily criticized.   
 
I am holding out hope that the ME team took a bit of the DAI PC interface criticism to heart.

Same here - I just finished my major medieval-fantasy addiction and now I'm playing back through the ME series.

Inquisition left a bittersweet taste in my mouth. After that I'm ready for MEA. Plus, Mass Effect does the space sci-fi genre better than any other, in my opinion

What I find a little baffling and ironic about this is that in an MMORPG (which I hope is a stillborn of whoever at BioWare should dare to dream it), is that the race matters even less. If there's any kind of story at all, it won't impact it in any way. So what makes this more interesting than a character that actually has dialogue and a variable personality?
