This is all just my opinion. The Mass Effect trilogy was far beyond any previous video game, in every way. The story was superb, yes the story, even with the ending. The combat, especially multiplayer, was so fine it ruined every other game for me. I still engage multiplayer almost every day and have much to learn.

 

ME was deeply immersive. I tried DA:I and Witcher, but they compare so poorly that they bore me. The combat, the movement dynamics, the stories are amateurish. I replayed ME until I had explored every character and variation and ending available and never got bored.  

 

The voice acting, the artwork, the graphics were, for its time, stunning. And the music was outstanding. 

 

Even with all that, the Citadel DLC went even further. Humor and fun was added to the mix. The ending of Citadel was deeply touching. Youtube has an extended cut of the final scene's music, 6 minutes of "Farewell and into the inevitable" that is still poignant after all this time. 

 

And so I have hope that ME:A will at least equal the trilogy. But I dread the possibility they will mail it in, the way Lucas has done for the last four Star Wars movies.

Oh ffs.

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

Im not surprised you didnt like The Witcher, its the ultimate trash, ME however is not far behind, a intriguing universe ruined by a idiotic protagonist and a annoying cast

Nah, it has it's points but is seriously lacking in the protagonist and companion part.

Four? George Lucas had nothing to do with The Force Awakens.

It's good, but there's many reasons people may not like it. 2 I can think of off the top of my head.

 

1. Not everyone likes the fantasy setting. I must admit I grow tired of them only because western developers never do anything new with their fantasy. There's all this European folklore, yet most developers never tap into that. They all just copy tropes from Tolkien without doing their own thing......trolls, mages, dragons, ogres, elves great evil. Give us something new. That's why I kinda liked God of War so much, for once a side of European folklore was touched that had nothing to do with Tolkien. It's largely why I prefer Japanese fantasy despite preferring western fantasy and style games. The Japanese have tropes they constantly use too, but they move on and get more creative usually. Hilariously enough it's usually the Japanese who end up getting more creative with western folklore than westerners do themselves; Bloodborne.

 

2. A lot of people prefer companionship and rp in story driven rpgs, and Witcher is largely a lone wolf. You can't really RP either.... his look, and character are already set in stone.

 

But yeah my #1 reason for preferring ME is because I prefer sci fi to fantasy. One of the reasons I prefer ME to Star Wars because despite having lightsabers and space travel Star Wars is not really science fiction it's fantasy.

You're saying this in light of three colored ending, Shepard turning into space jesus and the star child? 

[JPVNG]

Mass Effect combined playability with a good compelling story. We cared about the characters. We lived them. That was the difference.

Even ME1 is still a good game.

What is becoming difficult is the wait..this delay with andromeda killed me, i was not prepared lol, that is not fair it is not.

I want it by Christmas!!!!!

[katamuro]

Well it could be disappointing if you put too much hope and too much hype on it. Like many people with many new movies and games have done when they hope for it to be "THE THING" and its simply good and not excellent then comes the disappointment. 

Just hold on to a sceptic kind of hope and if it turns out at least as good as the original(including all the bad bits) then its going to be worth it.

Didn't anyone realize that The Witcher series were Polish Tolkien ripoff?

[KaiserShep]

Eh, it's good and I like it, but I find myself putting more effort to really invest in the game's universe than I'd like. Admittedly I have never played the others, but this doesn't really compel me to go back and try to get them either.

[GoldenGail3]

I don't know with Bioware anymore....

Crud game I still haven't finished.


Them: Wait for the reunion!

Me: That's it?

Them: Battle of Kaer Morhen is like the suicide mission you'll love it!

Me: I want to hit you for lying to me like that.

Them: How could you not like it!

Me: I've literally had better on a regular basis for four years.


Characters suck. Though I'll pay Yennefer making Vivienne bearable.

Story is ok.

Combat was atrocious.

Load times........to load the load screen....


Ah, but Gwent. Now I see where you were when you said better than any other game.

[Tempest_]

After multiple playthroughs, I realise I always come back for the characters and universe.

I was never particularly enamoured with the over-arching plot but the characters and locales along the way were an absolute treat to experience.

As long as Andromeda sticks to what Mass Effect does best, I'm sure we'll get a solid outing for the series.

Yeah, I kind of feel the same way.I am looking forward to see how they handle the story, the transition to a new galaxy, what they will do with the new species and the milky way species etc, but all with a mix of excitement and dread. Then again this is always the case with any sequel to a established franchise, especially when it is making more significant changes to the formula. There will always be a sense of excitement, wonder, dread and fear because people care deeply about the franchise, lore, characters, etc. 

 

On a side note I really loved the Witcher 3 and am looking forward to playing 2 at some point. Would recommend it to anyone if asked. Then again I also love Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Jade Empire, KOTOR and Fable. So maybe I just like RPGs too much. 

[Element Zero]

I've noticed that people who don't love The Witcher 3 are typically people who didn't play any of the earlier games, and definitely haven't read any of the books. For some of the fans, the games were a really cool way to continue the story of a beloved character from the novels. We got to get reacquainted with friends we already knew well, and we were handed more than a little control over Geralt's relationships, his actions and the future of the world. For people that weren't invested in the story already, I can see how the hype might seem exaggerated. For those who were already invested, TW3 was an incredible way to finish a story that began years ago. I play TW games differently from most RPGs. I get into Geralt's mind when I play, as I know him from the books. It's a different RP experience from ME, for instance, but no less fun.

As to my hopes for MEA, I hope it feels like Mass Effect. I have all sorts of worries. They abandoned the Milky Way and advanced the timeline. How many of the original ME creation team are really left to get that ME feel right? And so on and so forth. I hope that my fears are allayed when I start playing. I hope that I can relax and say, "This is awesome. This is Mass Effect."

Off topic, but Witcher fails for me on three main counts. First, it is just FAR too open. It's quite easy to wander away from anywhere connected with the current quest or storyline, and have no way to realize it's happened. After a half hour passes with nothing remotely progress, I reload the last save and start again. A little bit of linearity, or some clue that you've wandered away, would be a good thing.

 

Second, the battle mechanics are terrible, compared to Mass Effect. And all those ingredients to collect for all those spells and such, it's just way to complicated and hard to keep track of. The mechanics of buying and selling and raising money and searching for stuff to pick up are too time consuming and contribute nothing to progress of the main story. Too much of it feels pointless. 

 

Third, when I got to the point I was wandering around the village looking for fights to win or barters to make or whatnot, so I could accumulate enough cash to pay for boat passage, so I could go to a place where I might find someone that might be helpful, and I realized that I had been doing that for hours, I shut it off and never played again.

There's certainly no such thing as liking RPGs too much.

 

As for the OP, I'm not sure what to tell you. We hardly know anything about the game so far, and judging from your stated opinion you would view nearly any deviation from the original trilogy as an unwelcome change.

 

They may surprise you as far as combat quality is concerned though. Frostbite 3 has been iterated on so much during the long support for Battlefield 4 that it's become a truly top of the line multiplayer engine. At the very least, I expect crisp multiplayer netcode and a great performance to visual quality ratio.

 

As far as the writing goes...well, if you liked the ME3 endings, what's the worst that could happen?

Those are the least problematic issues of the game. Trust me, if Bioware can match the world building, level design and side quests of TW3, we're in for a treat. There is no other RPG that comes even close to world building and side quests imo. 

[AlanC9]

Doesn't mean geezer117 wouldn't hate it, though.

[Seraphim24]

TW and ME aren't really honestly that different to me aside from the setting, TW has more of a hardened CRPG focus, ME is more linear I guess, but they're both essentially CnC RPGs.

 

Well I guess swords and slashing versus TPS, but on the other hand Biotics and signs aren't, they even have the same moves a lot of the time.

[This is the End My Friend]

Thanks for mentioning The Witcher OP. All you've done is indirectly remind me that Blood and Wine isn't out yet. The hype is real.
