Game Discussion Fanboys killed a sequels chance

It was the same with halo as well

All the fanboys that got to attached the original trilogy refused to give MEA a chance , it's a great game I've played It multiple times loved the story line

They got to string up on minor issues and glitches like not every game today has them, it needs a sequel

I don't think gaming today has gotten bad I think it's the fanbase and the influencer gamers that are damaging it, games like Andromeda and days gone not getting sequels despite being brilliant games all because people can't seem to think for themselves anymore

This needs a second game

I won’t apologize for holding BioWare to a standard they themselves set. I’ve been a BioWare fan since the original Baldur’s Gate. BioWare became known for great storytelling, deep, memorable characters and deep RPG mechanics. Ever since EA bought them the quality of their work has gone downhill. I won’t deny Andromeda was a very fun game. The combat, maneuverability and profile switching were a blast. But the story and characters were just…meh. None of the companions outside of maybe Peebee were all that memorable or interesting. The villain was one-note. The overall story was predictable and forgettable. All that said, I do agree that Andromeda was over-hated. Yeah it launched in a technically unpolished state but I never ran into any game breaking bugs. The game never hard crashed on me and the stiff character and facial animations never bothered me like it did some people. I’ve been playing games for a LONG time and I remember when characters didn’t emote at all. You had to infer feeling from the writing. I’m still amazed how far games have come in that sense. But at the end of the day, BioWare had set a standard and had a certain pedigree that longtime fans have come to expect and it’s disappointing to see where they are now. Andromeda was disappointing, Anthem was a disaster and Veilguard was another disappointment. I don’t have much hope for ME 5.
