Considering how luke-warm Inquisition was and how terrible Andromenda was, I really don’t understand how people expect a good game from a company that hasn’t delivered a really good game in over 10 years.

I fully expect the next Dragon Age to be classic EA garbage, same as the next Mass Effect. Though I of course wouldn’t mind being proven wrong.

Don't forget Anthem.

I think we’re all trying to forget Anthem.

I actually liked Anthem and Andromeda. Had a lot of fun with them, if I'm being honest.

Granted, I played them after many patches quite a while after release back when EA Play was called Origin Access, so I didn't exactly "buy" them specifically. Opinion might be different if I did, and probably would be if I played them on release.

Still, I enjoyed them for what they were. I guess I just wasn't waiting in anticipation for their release or with any hype that could end up disappointing me, so I didn't have to deal with unmet expectations.

That and also I think I'm just easy to please.

I also enjoyed Andromeda but I just can't get myself to replay it. I replayed the Trilogy multiple times but I just couldn't replay Andromeda, it felt like a chore.

Andromeda was just way too bloated. I liked Andromeda, but they need to have cut all the “find three macguffins scattered randomly on the map” quests, merged the desert planets (did we really need Eos AND Elaaden?), and done another round of editing to the story.

I watched a random YouTube video where the person hated Andromeda but decided to give it another chance and ONLY do the main and loyalty missions, and he said it was like light and day, how much better it was. They bloated the game so they could have more for the sake of more, and it paid for it.

Interesting. I might try that

[–] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Apparently, it greatly improved the pace and gave the story a sense of urgency. I figure if you cut out so the faff, it makes Andromeda about the same length as ME1, which is the length it honestly should have been.

I think Inquisition is actually Bioware's second best selling game, and EA only sees money. So I'm afraid that's what we can expect from Dreadwolf: another Inquisition, or even something more watered-down to cater to wider audiences.
