>xitter screenshotFUCK.OFF.AND STAY THERE.
Its just a dogshit game, not everything is burgerfat culture war
>>737846708I hate this argument because it never explains why non-chuds didn't buy this shit.
>>737846708Lmao! No. It was killed by the new retarded devs.Delete the whole series lore.release the game all broken.The game is godshit.
In case you're wondering why we celebrate when western devs get fired, this is why.
>>737846819Because they will blame everything but themselves for making rubbish
>"On top of that, it was released to a very toxic atmosphere online and elsewhere in the gaming space," says Taylorson. "It quickly became punching bag of the week for online chuds for views and clicks. Their love of hate sealed the deal.
>>737846708I wasn't gonna take credit for this one but if they just wanna give it to me..
>Literally anything fails>It's the DA CHUDS FALUTlast I check ME was pretty progressive (yeah I know you can play shepherd as chud humancore man but still)Have you considered the product was simply dogshit?
>>737846708Would woketards be running damage control and pretending it's not bad if it released today
>"It's not for YOU chud." "Don't like it? Don't buy it!" "You were never a real fan." "We don't care what talentless freaks think.">okay>game bombs>"WHY DID OUR GAME FAIL? IT'S THE CHUDS' FAULT FOR NOT BUYING IT...THIS IS ECONOMIC TERRORISM ON LGBBQ FOLK OF COLOR!"I'm pretty much done with western games. Some indies look good but for the most part I feel like I'm getting ripped off, sold a movie, or preached at. It's not fun.
You control the games you don't play.
damn gooobergater chuds!
It reminds of Veilguard with shitty companions and you can't kill them or even tell them to fuck off.
>>737846708Yes and we were correct to do so.
i dunno about you but i dont think the term chuds were used back when ME:A dropped, who is he really referring to?
>>737846708I actually like andromeda a lot but it was mostly dunked on by just looking like dog fart and feeling like it was a discounted indie mass effect rather than mass effect 4. but sure chud nerd whatever i guess
>>737846708Why are we talking about some old ass flop?
>>737846708I played it for like 2 hours or so. It was just so fucking boring. Gameplay seemed fun at first but it dropped off the second I realised there were leveled guns, and I did not care for a single companion or npc in the game
>>737846708>expected too muchkek what a retard, mass effect was fucking huge >muh chudsdid he confuse his game with the new dragon age troon game? everyone made for of andromeda for being fucking dogshit
didn't they have to redo all the animations after launch because the first team did it wrong
>>737846708While this one would dearly love to take the credit, it is simply wrong. The three factors that killed the game are easy to identify and just as easy to assign blame toFirstly, being a sequel to a thoroughly despised ending was always a hard sell. They would have had to work hard to bypass that poor first impression.Second is the development that was somehow too long yet far too rushed, leading to overspending on a glitched mess that was underwhelming. EA is entirely to blame for this one, since they forced a completely unsuitable frostbite engine on the team and were forced to switch engines years into development, scrapping most of the work in the process.HOWEVER while glitches got the game laughed at, what got the game dismissed was the generally awful standard of design, characters and writing, all of which could have been carried over conceptually regardless of engine shifts.While this one doubts Andromeda could ever have been good due to the first two factors, it could perhaps have been a rough gem had the plot been written by someone who had at least heard of scifi, or the characters written by someone who had gone outside once in a while.
>>737846764>>737847003>>737847164Mostly video game “journos” hated the game, BioWare still had a lot of goodwill.
>>737846708>it's EA's fault the devs made my character with really shit proportionslol
>>737846708you are welcome
We're so powerful.We somehow are completely irrelevant and not who games are for anymore, but also we still control every game and can arbitrarily allow them to succeed or fail.
did everyone forget the release of this game?i would say the vast majority of people were excited for this game, and alot of people bought it on releasethat was the problemthe game was fucking hideous with missing, low res, or textures that didnt loadfacial animations or conversations didnt work, famously addisonthere was literally no white or asian skin tone on release, they literally had to patch in a fucking skin tone unless you wanted to be mexican or blackthe companions, THE BEST PART OF MASS EFFECT, were all TERRIBLEdrack is budget non interesting wrexcora is a human trained by asari huntresses thats somehow boringjaal as a companion just doesnt make sense, and hes jamaican for some reasonpeebee, dont need to say anythingliam is arguably even worse than peebeevetra is PASSABLE but she still isnt really interestingthe story somehow goes extremely fast and slow at the same time, with a super bland storyso no people DID give this game a chance, and they judged it on its own meritsfuck you
Even IGN was meming on the animations. Chuds didn't even exist let alone have the smallest bit of power in 2017
>actora.k.a clueless fagdevs were told to use frostbite engine with zero prior knowledge or guide (they had to constantly ask other studios for help) that was the major contributor why the game was so shallowoh and both Ryders were shit
We can take down Andromeda and make Pragmata a success, we can take down the entire Star Trek franchiseI'm serious I'm not even joking anymore you better watch your mouth about what you're saying about us if you know what's good for you
>>737847689A second-string studio BioWare Montreal made it, the main studio in Edmonton was developing Anthem kek.
>actor sezWho gives a shit?
>>737846708The game was a completely broken mess at launch. Broken animations, constant video driver crashes. It was a bad game because it was poorly made trash before even getting into the retarded story.
it's not politically correct to have a man taller than a woman so every guy looks like a big head manlet, see also expedition 33
>>737846708>Blaming the chudsI thought chuds didnt matter? I guess chuds do actually buy games
These niggers will do and say anything but take the blame./
>>737846708I will never forgive the developers of this game for making the smoking hot super religious redhead who wants a huge family a fucking lesbian.
andromeda is an okay gameit is nowhere nead as bad as what it was made out to be
>>737846708ME3's ending was so shit no one wanted to buy the next one.
MAYBE I'M FOOLISHMAYBE I'M BLIND
>>737848171it's a chore simulator without story bits imagine if Mass Effect 1 was Mako 99 % Mako Missions
yeah, i'm sure it wasnt the millions of bugs and bad animations and overall unfinished, uninspired and badly made game. it was always someone else and not the guys who made it the way it was.

>>737846708Is chud now an official term to be used by reputable publications such as PC Gamer? I feel like journalistic standards have declined.

>>737848857>Is chud now an official term to be used by reputable publications such as PC Gamer? I feel like journalistic standards have declined.Videogame "journos" are glorified bloggers.
>>737846708>Game was massively profitable>Success entirely due to goodwill from over a decade of Bioware reputation and the reputation of the original Mass Effect Trilogy>Everyone quickly realized it was a shitty bait and switch>Entire game feels like it was made for the CW>Blame on backlash gets put on early release bugs which were admittedly quite bad but well within tolerance compared to older beloved titles>Bugs eventually fixed but now can't blame the tone and writing quality on that anymore>Blame is now shifted to some culture wars thing, anything to avoid actually admitting to bad writing quality.Now with the explanation in easy to understand greentext out of the way, please stop posting twitter screencaps here, it belongs in the trash.
>>737846708Slopomeda eheh?
Why is this retard bringing up decade old stuff?
>>737847821The only power “chuds” have now is just not spending their money on garbage products. This is turning out to be a very potent power.
Most actors try to forget projects they were in that bombed spectacularly, not remind everyone of them.
>>737847302I think Andromeda had the bones for a decent game and starting over was the right call. That said it was executed poorly and I would have been pissed if I bought it on launch.It'll probably be leagues better than ME4 if it ever actually materializes
>muh chuds
>>737849017probably some DLC setup that never happened
>>737849017the space cancer that ate at planets is neutralizedthe whole project now has planet covered in armor plates as headquarters
>>737846708Wasn't PCGamer recently taken over by foids? Pretty sure it used to be the most chuddy game journalist site constantly shitting on BioWare's latest progress on ME5, and now when you check it, the articles are all written by women, who are apologetic about BioWare.
>>737849075If the game was profitable why didn't they follow up with the promised Quarian DLC?
>>737849459Because it didn’t meet EAs financial expectations, also all the bad press meant it would be wasting money on a project that already had a negative reputation it wasn’t going to shake easily. Or at all, everyone remembers Andromeda as a buggy, poorly written mess of a side game after the trilogy ended.
>>737848361>>737848529did they retcon all asari to be ugly or did they just send the ugly ones to a different galaxy for eugenics reasons as a humane alternative to euthanizing them?

>>737846708No, it's dogshit game but what stood out for me was the incredibly lame alien designs. They looked like Knuckles from Sonic.
>>737849632>ugly asariThis was around the time of Dragon Age Inquisition so there was a movement at RPG studios to make women less attractive. See the whole backlash over that elf rogue or whatever from Inquisition.

>>737846708
>>737846708Chuds should not be allowed to hate boycott. Their wages should be garnished to support diverse media, I don't think that's too much to ask.
>>737850313They're already doing that with tax sponsored garbage like dustborn or relooted.

>>737850545relooted released this year
>>737850446Its been explained infinitely on here though it gets lost in culture war brainrot. Its a combination of questionable studies that erroneously show that more than half of gamers are women (or something to that effect) because it lumped in the candy crush mobile game types with more serious gaming and financial incentives from big investors to checkbox in inclusivity agendas that are always implemented in the least subtle and more irritating way in order to make sure they can cash the check.If their inclusivity/diversity stuff were handled well it might be too subtle for the investors to know the lever was cranked and they may not pay out.
>>737850446Its because they are ideologues, not capitalist. They arent out to make money from a popular product, they are out to use a well-established IP as a soapbox for their woke world view.Also thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP4wsURn3rw
>>737851026They hire a lot of those kinds of cultists to do the work but it is capitalist what they're doing. Media products are not being made for consumers, the target audience is the cluster of investment companies that plague games and film now, though it affects film/shows more because of streaming being even more disposable.

>Flying, probably the most popular feature, was removed and added back in several times over the course of development. Even in 2017, flying was up in the air. The report claims that, after a disappointing demonstration for EA's Patrick Söderlund, flying was finally put back into the game only weeks before E3. It was still Beyond at that point, apparently, and then a few days before the big reveal, the name was suddenly changed. A reminder that EA suit Patrick Söderlund forced Bioware to include flying into Anthem. Casey Hudson sexualised Ashley and EDI in ME3.
>>737846708This was one of the first giga woke games with trannies lmao
>>737851547They changed this dialogue because apparantly real trans people don't "deadname" themselves or something.It really just proves the game was made by people who don't really understand what they're doing and were just virtue signalling to check boxes.
Chuds are too powerful...
>>737846708If your game can can be destroyed by word of mouth from chuds then it's a bad game that would perform poorly regardless. Good games weather the haters and establish a dedicated user base.
>>737849632They sent all the Ardat-Yakshi
>>737850446chuds are not the biggest audience.You got dudebros, normies, casual gamers, phone gamers, kids, etc.what ever gave you the idea that chuds were the biggest audience?You think that Roblox 200+ million players are mostly chuds?
>>737851684to be fair that scene from dragon age the veilguard really encapsulated what its like to talk to one of these freaks>sets the dinner table>opens conversation with your sexual identity>person whos not terminally online says jesse wtf r u talking about>throw a temper tantrumthe veilguard team may not know fuckall about dark fantasy or even the material they were working with, but they definitely understood to an alarming degree how to act mentally unwell
Never let fat women write your game.
>>737852181It was even worse because it wasn't even full on "wtf are you talking about". iirc it was the mom that was genuinely trying to be understanding while also bringing up something about their tribe that conflicts with her feelings. Then the bitch just blows up and walks out of the room
>>737846708No, not really. The launch state of the game was very fucked up. Though it's too harshly judged NOW because after all the patches it's perfectly fine. But there are also people who wanted more normal Mass Effect and the whole Andromeda thing wasn't handled as well as it could've been. But the point is the combat feels good and if you play it just like a dumb action movie like ME2 or 3 it's still fiiiiiine
>>737846708I would laugh at this, but my face is tired.
>>737849769Why kind of psychopath made that? That's worse than Sonichu
>>737846708>IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE THIS GAME THEN YOU'RE A CHUD!!!!!ironic, considering bioware and EA have been intentionally piling fags and troons in front of their games for years as meatshields for criticism.>you didn't like ME3 just because it has a big, shirtless hunk as a gay romance!!>you didn't like dragon age inquisition just because it featured a flamboyant fag with a twirly mustache as a gay romance!!>you didn't like andromeda just because it featured some random troon that has no personality other than being a troon!!>you didn't like veilguard because you're incapable of performing a bharv!!pathetic
>>737853096And the player character is the awkward 3rd wheel at the table having to endure all of it without being able to interject in any meaningful way.
What is the point of saying this now though? Why say this nearly 10 years later? Nobody thinks about this game at all. People forgot about it like a year later. EA will hate him for doing this dragging up old bad memories.
>>737853668It was posted in the Mass Effect subreddit a day or two ago as well. I think its part of getting Mass Effect in people's minds as part of hyping towards the next game.
>>737846708Nigga the game is mid at best even with all the fixes. Why shouldn't an at the time legendary series have high expectations?
>but the combat is good I prefer the combat in the OG 3There is almost nothing to like about ME:A. The only good thing the game did was let your character bang a turian chick.
>>737853637It's so realistically uncomfortable I genuinely don't know if it was on purpose or not. Like you just watched your friend do something so fucking awkward you just never bring it up again type of shit.
>>737846708The game came out 9 fucking years ago. Why are they crying about this shit almost a decade later? Were they under an NDA to not speak about the game for 9 fucking years?
>>737853751Somehow, I think reminding people of the last game that was godawful will not be the best idea for a marketing strategy. That’s reminding them that BioWare being shit isn’t some new development.
>>737849632The issue is that they got all human face scans from the same third party, and the way they, EA, and the third party worked together, was such that they specifically asked for non "ideal" faces.
I have 300 hours in this game, AMA
>>737853751There is no way EA would be happy this. They want people to forget about Andromeda. You can be sure EA will force Bioware to even bring back Commander Shepard in Mass Effect 4. They will have an EA executive watching everything they are doing after how badly they fucked up Dragon Age.
>>737853994nah
>>737846708Yes. And don't you ever forget it game developers.
This guy is not even a prolific voice actor. I checked his page and he hasnt even been in much games since Andromeda.
>>737853905It's probably to get out in front of the disaster that is the next game is going to be. Prepping the PR landscape.
>>737853923>>737854047I want to agree with you but on reddit its easy for them to bot the upvotes so all the "its a valid entry into the Mass Effect franchise I'm totally not a bot" type comments go to the top.
>>737852168Well according to these people, chuds are the ones who can destroy their games. No one says "Fucking casuals/phone gamers/kids ruined our game!"So they're either really powerful, but few or really numerousEither way it's in their best interest to cater to these guys
>>737846708I gave Andromeda a genuine, honest try and it's just dogshitIt's directionless, sure it's been like seven years or some shit but I cannot tell you anything about a sort of story other than "there's new aliens, woah!"It's uglier. The graphics are a straight down downgrade, not in terms of fidelity (it's about the same in that) but in style and direction.It wants to be something it's not. There's practically fake open world sections but it's not really an open world like Skyrim or Elden Ring have, it's a corridor but bigger.And in the end I tried to ignore all of these but it's still simply not fun.
>>737854178I dont think it really matters what Reddit thinks. It only really matters what EA thinks. And EA for sure does not want people to think about Andromeda. They want them to think about the original trilogy as the new game is a direct sequel to that and it is beloved. They would rather people just forget about Andromeda. They will be on Bioware's ass 24/7 over the gigantic fuck up with Dragon Age Veilguard. Bioware will be killed by EA for good if they fuck up Mass Effect 4.
>>737854517Finally, some good news
>>737854517EA hires a third party marketing team and the third party thinks for them instead, Andromeda gets more engagement from its hate and culture war noise.
>>737854440Mass Effect needs to feel like your in a world similar to a mix of Farscape, Star Trek TNG and Stargate SG-1/Atlantis. They even had a whole level based on Atlantis with a "hive ship". And the same name for the main character "John Shepard".
>>737854827I wish there were a narrative heavy Stargate crpg.

>>737848718Man, I hate it when I'm walking around and get Delta Attack'd by some invisible bitches.
>>737846819They still use the logic of, “if a loud vocal minority hates something, the majority idiot masses will believe them,” so they hate “chuds” for swaying the opinions of the casual gamer.
>>737860170Jokes on them, I would gladly let those retards die than deal with their petty bullshit.
>be bioware >pass off flagship ip to unproven mobile game studio so you can make anthem Not that any of their releases were knocking it out of the park but still a crazy move to me Also it’s funny how clusterfuck of a development it had but still ended up having similarities to inquisition like the mission table with 3 different divisions having different ways to solve the missions
>>737853668Trying to revitalize the franchise in preparation for ME4, I guess. Him blaming EA doesn't quite fit for that, though.
>>737846819Because everyone's a chud.
>inquisition>andromeda>anthem>veilguardAt this point they should close the studio just to get rid of the bad rep attached to it.
>>737861078It's wild that other studios got closed for just making one bad game but Bioware was allowed to continue after the ME3 ending mess.
>>737846819Leftoids are incapable of logic or honesty. If they lose it's because everyone is a chud but if they think they're winning it's because everyone is anti-chud. Whatever reality is most convenient for their beliefs at any given moment is the one their addled brains occupy.
>>737846943>People who were never going to buy it made a few jokes and that somehow stopped the modern progressive multiracial pansexual audience of billions from also buying itMakes sense
>>737846708but i did nothing...
>>737861164EA like Sony and Microsoft has killed so many of their studios and drove away so much goodwill among workers and customers they need everything they can get.
>>737846708>actorVoice actor. And what does he know about how good the game is. All they did is read a few lines in a booth. Bet he just wishes they waited until it was cool to hate on fans. If it came out when star wars was shitting on its fans, they could have rode the same rhetoric and said fans just didn't understand how good their game was.
The Dragon Age IP had gone to shit.ME3 was a big stinky shit.Nobody trusted ME:A to NOT BE shit.EA and BioWare believed there was a "nerd cave" of locked-in customers who would always come to consoooom, and this mistaken belief crashed their sales. The same thing had happened to the comic books industry where they thought the "nerd cave" would always come buy their comic books no matter what, the same thing happened with Disney and how they've lost billions of dollars with the Star Wars IP.
>>737846819Chuds control the federal reserve and thus the economy
>>737846708Yes i the chud will destroy every woke game
>>737846708>It was the chuds!I'll never get tired of these people blaming their ceaseless failures on the cultural dominance of anti-social incels controlling the masses from their mothers' basements.
Why do chuds hate autistic main characters so much?

>>737848718>Look out Snake! The guys who stole my stealth prototypes are in there with you!
>>737861839There are nerds like that though just not for certain franchises. Gamers seem to be the main exception to this rule as always too.

Chuds always win baby
>>737847689Based truthsaying Hanar. A fourth factor, though it was covered up by journos and reddit mods, was that one of the guys employed by Bioware who worked on the combat systems was a frothing-at-mouth anti-white racist. That was a lost sale before I'd even considered the game itself.
>>737857707>chuds lead the way.
>>737846708chuds are simply too powerful
>>737862368
>>737846708I don't think it can be understated how terrible the game was at launch. it was one of the funniest games I've ever played. everything broke, popped in or was uncanny. it was like a fever dream. all the "fixing" did was remove all that comedy leaving nothing but the painfully mediocre content.
>>737846708It's been a decade and downwardly mobile millennial leftists still can't let gamergate go
>>737847815>did everyone forget the release of this game?No? Personally, I made the decision to never play it because of the screenshots, gifs and webms on /v/ that was posted at the time.It looked fucking awful.
If chuds can make or break a games success, why do they insist on fucking with us? We don’t want right wing pandering, just be fucking normal. Look at how the chuds rallied behind Crimson Desert, it’s not a good game imo but the fact that the characters were white and attractive was refreshing
>>737865594Looking back it’s kind of crazy how Gamergate was a proxy war between Epstein/Bannon vs Soros and other leftist funders
Mass Effect really doesn't need any more games.
>>737850446they hate chuds and only use it as a strawmanif their game succeeds (never happens) they proclaim that chuds lost and the female majority gamers boughted the game if it fails they blame chuds (never the story, animation quality, writing, characters or gameplay)
>>737866006Who’s to say that? It’s a whole ass universe, there are absolutely more stories to tell if the drive is there from the devs. Sadly Bioware is a shell of its former self being propped up by 40 year old men that dress up like women. Would rather have Bobby slap his dick down and shutter Bioware than have them take a crack at Mass Effect again
How do chuds simultaneously not matter yet matter at the same time for the left? Schrodinger's chud?
>>737866121We don’t need the chud audience to succeed but also chuds made the game fail Honestly chuds don’t even go to war that often. The last time there was total war against a developer was probably TLOU2, and we won because the game underperformed. Otherwise chuds usually just ignore woke games and laugh at them from the sidelines
>>737849190The bones fuckin sucked! It was just dragon age inquisition with guns
>>737866121Chuds are a convenient "othering", and they're just starting at their desired outcome and inventing shit afterwards to back it.. DEI is massively populuar, but needs big subsidies, and suppression of complaints. >>737866289I woudln't even say that was total war. A bunch of the fans of the game hated what they did to it, and they were far bigger than any possible chud response. Plus the anti israel crowd.
>>737848620Its even better when you hear the voices, and they have a high pitched gaymans voice with a lisp.

>>737846708The game just fucking sucked, from guns being held backwards, to awful writing, to terrible facial animation. It just sucked, and it didn't help that a ranjesh on the team went out of his way to remove white skin tones from the game for activist reasons.
>>737846708I played it a couple of years ago. Vacuumed every planet. 100% viability for the colony. Stay fucking clear. The only entertaining thing I remember about the game is how broken you can make your character be due to no class restriction.
It was mass effect in name only.
It was totally the chuds' fault that the game was a technical mess and a simp literally had an ethot do facial rigging with everyone looking like they're ready to shit themselves.I also starkly remember the audience wanting more of the same Mass Effect, but the Andromeda devs wanted to do their telling instead.
>>737846708do you think asha sharma will ask EA for a reboot of the series?
>>737846708Glad this company only has 1 more shit game in it before they go bankrupt and all these fags lose their jobs

>>737849632At the time, I think everyone just assumed it was incompetence. They had just fucked up the models like they had fucked everything else up.Now, it should be obvious that this was part of the first wave of uglification that's meant to serve as some kind of weird subliminal messaging propaganda. The Asari were made ugly to challenge beauty standards or something.
>>737846708Doesn't the entire Mass Effect series prattle on about anti racism and progressive ideals like casual sex and socialism? Wouldn't this game be right up the playerbase's alley? Why was the backlash so severe then? Just jank?
>>737846708Eleventeen million views. This guy probably did more damage than anyone else. Literal public execution.
>>737868586I mean there are some chuddy things like the genophage. You have this violent race of aliens that you can more or less choose to exterminate because it would be more eugenic for the galaxy
>>737846708i played itthe actual story is interesting but the gameplay is absolute shit filled with sponge damage creatures that can take like 5 shotgun shots at close range like it's nothingthey also respawnit's simply a dreadful game
>>737846708Yes, it was me.
>>737853941>non ideal facesOn one hand, I think there needs to be more normal looking people in movies and if we're scanning people for games now, then probably games too. On the other hand, holy fuck these characters are not flattering looking.
>the single most strongest aspect of Mass Effect was its setting and world building, to the point that the Reaper War actually got in the way of what was good about the games (even their core premise) by being way too over the top >Andromeda completely changes galaxies to a completely shit one with only two aliens and no reason to care about any of it, also repeats the same narrative failure by starting the characters off as special operatives (with nepotism? lol) fighting for the fate of worlds>some of the weakest parts of Mass Effect were its immersive RP elements and squad mechanics (Shep pretty much never uses biotics in cutscenes if they are one, there is one class-based interrupt in the entire trilogy) >Andromeda makes it even worse by removing classes being meaningful to the characters altogether and squad mechanicsIt's just a downgrade in every aspect before we even get into the way the game looks and was animated. Also if some fag says the gameplay is good, please instead tell me your opinion on the different flavor profiles of dogshit it's probably more insightful.
>>737862751The difference though is that if you call a black a nigger they're likely to attack you just for doing it. Whites haven't gotten that animalistic yet.
>>737866304The combat system was good and the premise of exploring an unknown galaxy sounded fun. The problem was that despite being The Pathfinder™ the vast majority of places are already explored because the Not!Citidel had been there for like a year before you, and now they don't need a Pathfinder™ so much as they need an errand bitch to reset the planetary AC machines.

>>737846819My face was too tired to buy it.Also, because it looked like shit.
>>737846819People saw it was a buggy piece of shit and skipped it I guess
i legit tried it a year or two after it came ou tcouldnt do it what makes or break a game like this are the squadmates and they are all shit there is not a single acceptable one in the lot
>>737846708No?Everyone HATED ME3, you thought THIS was gonna do better? Even with like 5 or 6 years of cool off and a new generation to play it?Vestors expecting too much is retarded.They are stupid money fucks and didn't look at ME3 and say "yeah, no, we don't need another flop".
>>737874604>Everyone HATED ME3An entire new generation of Reddit-adjacent homosexuals actually like it and have tried desperately hard to rehabilitate it. It's rather sad.

>>737846943Wow these chuds are so powerful and influential, you'd think there'd be AAAs outright catering to them if they decide what's successful so much
>>737874650it's fucking weird man. Even if the indoctrination theory was real, there's still the rest of the fucking game and it wouldn't really fix the shitass ending and the entire lore dump on reapers being extremely retarded.

>>737875324Fuck off jew
No matter what people will say in their revisionism, Mass Effect was a phenomenon and all three games are pretty fucking polished and fun. Andromeda had really high expectations as the follow up to a massively popular series trying to recover from a lackluster finale, and it failed to even come close.
>>737875435the only revisionist here is you. tranny. 3 was universally blasted and made fun of. I'm guessing you giggle squee whenever the faggot anime ninja gook shows up?Also people shit on 2 for having a story that quite literally didn't even have a reason to exist and would have 0 bearing on the plot if it hadn't.Eternal summerfag.
>>737846708Indians and amateur devs killed that game something fierce.And that's before you get into all the stupid politics, the split office drama, and lingering resentment over how bioware floundered ME3.
>>737875557Did I talk about the story other than to say the finale was lackluster? Story story story. Fucking faggot. 3 had excellent gameplay, pretty much unparalleled in third person cover based shooters.

>>737846708I'm always happy when I commit economic terrorism.
>>737846708I hate it when my bum gets rapped
I think the worst part was fucking up the multiplayer
>>737846708If it was chuds that made it look kind of like ass, made every shipmate with the possible exception of the Krogan whose name I don't even remember and Vetra incredibly annoying, and the entire plot profoundly mid without any actual ending, then sure, chuds killed ME Andromeda.
>do nothing>not only do I win, but I also make these parasites mad in the processThis feels like cheating the system
>>737846805It wasn't even dogshit, it was just thoroughly mediocre, and in many ways that could have been fairly easily avoided. Though the hard fix would have also been the most necessary fix, making the plot not be meandering tedious nonsense with a non-ending.

>>737865594Reminder that GamerGate lost and was the single most failed "movement" in human history and now games are wall to wall foids, chinky lootboxes, and chinky lootboxes full of foids. All because absolute rock bottom pieces of shit like Sargoy of Akgayd wanted to "LEAVE POLITICS OUT OF IT WAHHH" despite the objective truths that all art is propaganda and neutrality is surrender to leftist faggots.
>>737865901>Look at how the chuds rallied behind Crimson DesertChuds did not rally behind that game. It was astroturfing and lowest common denominator NPC retards, exclusively. Chuds told you fucking dipshits it was an incredibly unremarkable paint-by-numbers knockoff of what gooks think a big "Triple A" game is.
Chuds were still an obscure subculture back then, no excuses. The game just sucked, simple as. People who can't just take L's disgust me.
>>737860783This kinda makes sense, but then you'd have to say most gamers are chuds because they listen chuds.
>>737846708ah yes, chuds programmed the game, chuds wrote the dialogue, chuds did the world building.chud is a boogieman
>>737846708But I liked Andomeda. It was clearly written by the B-Team since I don’t remember a single memorable story beat. But transcending Gears of War chest-high wallsin space with jetpacks, dashes, pulls and gravity pushes? Fun. Plus the Mako was back.

>>737846708they took mass effect and removed everything everyone liked about it, no wonder everybody hated it
>>737847736I mean yeah actually. Production on Andromeda was a fucking mess and 90% of the game was slapped together in the last 18 months of dev time.I think blaming EA for that is perfectly reasonable.
At least we got the autistic Sara Ryder meme out of it
>>737880984>18 monthsNew Vegas had even less dev time and is even more of a game.>bbbut they reused FO3 assetsMEA reuses ME3 assets and the assets made for MEA before that 18month remake rush.BioWare is just less competent now than even Obsidian.
>>737846708It's true. Us chuds killed it for being woke, effeminate and gay. Stop doing that and we won't kill games. This is NOT up for debate.

How do you commit economic terrorism by not buying something that's crazy Israeli logic
>>737846708All they had to do was make Mass Effect 2, but bigger, after the disappointment of Mass Effect 3.It was that simple.

>>737846708Apologize right now Chuds!
>>737846708It always baffles me when I see someone use the term chud unironically. I'm so used to it being a meme that it's jarring when real people say it.
>>737884653The funniest part is it is a 4chan forced meme repeated by one person for months before it eventually caught on. Not for the first time.
>>737884653The guy's an out of touch boomer, can't give him too much grief. Most of them probably don't realize that chuds reclaimed the word in record time.
>>737879016I'd argue that GG actually won in the end somewhat. It was largely a vehicle to rage against games journalists and they're totally irrelevant now.
>expecting too much>the game barely worked at release
If Chuds have the power to just decide what games succeed and fail, why not just make games for the Chuds?
>>737878550ME3 multiplayer was fantastic and lightning in a bottle.
>>737846819Because apparently all their potential customers are chuds but they refuse to make games they like anyway.
Did it even fail? Plenty of undiscerning Bioware drones bought the game without a second thought.
>>737885852It's funny how so many of those "tacked-on" multiplayer modes(Mass Effect, AC, Uncharted) for story driven games are light years better than actual multiplayer focused games that we get now
>>737847815It's been more than two weeks, anon. You're supposed to forget so you can be more easily swayed by dogshit "journalism".
>>737886079Biodrones started to thin out around that time as people began to realize Bioware was no longer the same company that gave them KOTOR and DA:O. It probably did good numbers for a lower budget context but something like Mass Effect needs YUGE numbers to be considered successful.
>>737884653That law and order svu episode where they unironically used chad incel and stacey was such a bizarre experience.

Chud is the weirdest fucking term to me, I originally only ever saw it here being used ironically to make fun of these american activist types, I genuinely never saw any of those fruitycups use the term themselves, then suddenly over like the last year, when it's well passed the point of being an utter joke to me at least, I see actual human beings using it like it's derogatory and not hilarious, maybe I'm just not tuned in enough

>>737846708It got a bad rap because it was a significant step down from the trilogy, especially when it came to RPG elements and interactions, and everyone expected better of them, not just the publisher. Making a good game that improves on what the trilogy set up shouldn’t be "expecting too much".

>>737886301i remember the ME3 multiplayer--which was cut from Legendary Edition--had EA assign a team of FPS devs to it. It might've even been those swedish Battlefield guys themselves. In any case, it sharply pointed out how BioWare have always been BAD at gameplay.

>>737861903the rothschilds bow to the chuds.
No. Even if the game was written like an honest to god faithful successor to Mass Effect 1, it was still a broken mess with a mediocre gameplay loop.Even the later patches were just band-aids trying to cover up bullet wounds from a mag dump.
>>737862326nigger what
This game was so fucking broken at launch that even if it had been a good ME game, it would have still gotten shit on and very rightfully so.Greatest tragedy about this is that Andromeda would have been easy to make work, because they essentially had a clean slate to play with.Of course Mass Effect without the original cast will be more or less Mass Effect just in name, but they could have simply made an okay game with the veneer of Mass Effect and it wouldn't have been offensive for most people.Mediocre at best would have been perfectly acceptable.On another note I'm still angry about the third one's ending.That damn thing soured the series for me and I hate it because I fucking love the characters and the setting.I would have been okay with the third one's directionless story with a good ending, because there's so much good character stuff in the game and it plays well, but man that ending was such a huge slap in the face it buried the whole thing.I have zero hope for any future games and we all know they'll suck balls, but I really wish that by some miracle they turn out at least okay.>>737853826>The only good thing the game did was let your character bang a turian chick.Genuinely the only reason to play it.
>>737857707Why are the "modern audience" listening to chuds?Is it because they don't exist, and chuds are just the actual audience for video games?
>>737846708Chud wasnt in the vernacular in 2017

>>737853901It's like a slightly less unbelievable version of that Anal Vore Party copypasta from way back in the day.
>>737901065do not redeem saar
>>737886752Sounds about right. DA was butchered from a successful formula of Origins by incompetent leadership and a nudge by EA, ME3 was a disaster at launch but it got fixed up a bit. Andromeme was subpar, kinda how Starfield is now subpar.Next ME will also likely suck, but to its credit there is a small probability game is good if EA and Arabs see what’s successful and ignore retards in bioware.
>>737901823Uh? Non sequitur or a clumsy misclick on your part? Either way doesn’t really reflect all that great on your part. Especially if you were trying to defend larry fink.
