Hell NAWH!

To be honest it makes sense for them to return.
I can see a Not!Tim being the antagonist aiming to stop Not!Shep forming an alliance of colonies with the other races transposed from the milky way to add a figleaf of continuity.
Not!Tim will use ancient tech to bolster his advantage and Not!Shep will have to explore N+1000 planets looking for ancient technology shards to compete. And ancient herbs. And set up bases in the wilderness.

You'll probably forget him as a bad guy until the anticlimatic ending where you persuade him to commit suicide. The last shot will be of one of the colony ships approaching a dormant mass relay, then reaper horn and fade to black.

Very meh, I'd rather have a new organization take its place.

I actually find this idea fascinating.  Being the biggest baddest person on the block by using whatever your enemy's throw at you.  It's a good idea.

Cerberus in Mass Effect Andromeda - yes or meh?

 

Hail Hydra. 

 

I think the Cerberus group has been played out enough. I'll take a new organization or better: another race or group racing to unlock whatever the McGuffin is to save/wipe-out civilization.

Humans versus the genophage-cured krogan to see who can populate the galaxy first.

 

Hmm. A hundred and ninty eight billion babies in a few weeks. We'll need an army of super virile men scoring 'round the clock! I'll do my part. Yeoman, clear my schedule

TIM Was just as illogical and stupid as the Squeaker Reaper. Cerberus is a contrived enemy faction, and I am happy to splatter their troops in the game out of dislike. They were poorly written and a failure at being the very least a convincing threat. The very concept of Cerberus is a logical fallacy. 
 

[Guitar-Hero]

Meh

[rapscallioness]

No.

I can't be bothered to +1 every post that says "NOOOOOOOO" in some way, shape or form, so just assume it's implied ... and for every similar post that follows this.

I wouldn't mind.

[rashie]

Abrahams never cared to explain how the First Order came to be, or what the hell the Knights of Ren are (and many more other things).

Its meant to be a trilogy, id wait until VIII and IX before judging that.

[NM_Che56]

Well we're bringing the most popular aliens with us, and the leak (if true) has humanity coming to the rescue again so yeah humans are still the ubermensch of the setting as far as the narrative is concerned.

 

Trust me, I would love to see a game where we aren't the special snowflakes of the universe, but I really don't see BioWare going that route any time soon.

The only slight difference is the context, if rumors are true.

 

Unlike with the original trilogy, we're all coming into Andromeda at the same time.  There's no "old boys club".  No Council of non-humans who have been leading a galactic community long before humans landed on the moon or invented cars.  We're all pretty much starting a ground zero.

 

It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out.

As always, you fail to grasp the obvious. Cerberus isn't just an organization or the people behind it. Cerberus is an idea; that idea is not so easily destroyed.

 

Not that I am in favor of it, but really the door is wide open, as already stated.

 

Also TFA was mediocre.

That sort of logic is why folks get away without world building and storytelling and I find it just lazy.

I agree, and it's not just for things like Star Wars either. 

 

The whole trend of "Let the sequels explain everything" is getting rather old, and I miss a stand alone film that actually tells a complete narrative; which the subsequent sequels build off of; rather assuming that the movie will do well enough to garner a second or third installment, and leaving massive sections of the narrative out. 

[Killroy]

The Force Awakens did tell a complete story. It has a beginning, middle and end and doesn't rely on future installments to complete it's story. That you want the lore fleshed out further is not a sign that the story is incomplete.

Yeah.

Spoiler

The beginning is Luke is missing and everyone is looking for him. The middle is a way to find him is discovered, and the characters go help the good guys find him and stop the bad guys from finding him or stopping them, and the end is them finding Luke. That's a complete story.

Technically this is true.  It did in fact have a beginning, middle, and end.  And along the way they got into some whacky adventures.

ME1 had geth and cerberus.

ME2 had collectors and cerberus.

ME3 had husks and cerberus.

 

They serve no story purpose in the trilogy. They're always accesory, like the rachni (this is why you hear so frequently that ME2 had no story - because it's cerberus-heavy and cerberus ultimately doesn't matter). Why do the writers always include them, do they really think they're essential to Mass Effect? Cerberus is like an ******* friend noone likes but goes to every dinner and party and you have to put up with him.

Unless you already live in Andromeda where your old boys club/Andromeda council/Hyper advanced galaxy wide empire is already established.

[Han Shot First]

TFA was light years ahead of the garbage prequel trilogy. 

 

I'd rank it about even with Return of the Jedi, the weakest film of the original trilogy, but still a fun ride.

Yeah, initially I was disappointed to be leaving the Milky Way but that was a big reason why I eventually came around to the idea of going to Andromeda. The fact that it would've been impossible to capture that space frontier atmosphere without leaving, where everything is just as alien to most everyone you meet as it is to you.
