    Stop beating that dead horse. It’s been dead since part 3 ended with a wet fart.

    Move on and make the next original idea and stop tying yourself down to pleasing fans and shareholders. You end up with uninspired mediocrity.

    So 2030 at best for a new game

    Bioware dodged making a milky way game after ME3 and didn’t make anything compelling for andromeda. 2030+, 18+ years after ME3 release, got to keep any expectations super low especially after Veilguard happened where that at least had the David Gaider lore bible to finish off the plot threads of the first 3 games. Bioware characters and multigame plots from scratch modern Bioware, that is not an exciting prospect

    Very little chance of this being good, BioWare fucking blows. They should give this franchise to a new developer that’s competent and less focused on writing HR compliant dialogue.

    Are you telling me that after buying that random $400 coat glimpsed in the last 4 years of N7 Day teases, there’s still nothing to show for it?!

    Because that would be shady for them to be selling $400 coats that are “featured” in ME5 if this game doesn’t actually happen, and we know that game companies, Post-ME3 BioWare especially, wouldn’t lie to us!

    Andromeda was a good game after they fixed all the bugs. All they have to do is launch it in a playable state, which is nearly impossible for modern devs

      I played it, and what sticks in my mind isn’t bugs, but poor writing and uninteresting gameplay. I think it’s middling at best and a terrible entry in the series.

        I thought the gameplay was improved. I mean the actually mechanics. Clearing whatever the underground chambers were was a slog. The majority of the enemies were rather uninteresting too.

        The story was pretty weak but it had some interesting side stuff. It could have been far better especially with the arks.

        Huh…I guess I agree with middling. I had more fun replaying the trilogy.

      I agree! I think I got a free copy somewhere, years after release, and really enjoyed it. Sure, I wish the characters had been a lil’ more fleshed out, but I had fun with it. I have to assume that the bulk of the negative reaction to it had to do with bugs and/or missing content on launch, that had been fixed by the time I got around to it.

      I often have this experience, since the only game I recall buying on or before launch in the last decade is BG3.
