      It’s hands down the greatest trilogy ever made and I commend BioWare for the amazing universe they created. To me it truly rivals Star Wars and in a lot of aspects surpasses it. Only one up Star Wars has is Jedi’s and siths but mass effect has its own “force “ through biotics but it makes more sense in a fiction kinda way lol

    • @AcodeXI
      @AcodeXI 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Thats true, they didn't made it. While the original Mass Effect Team which developed the trilogy (Bioware Edmonton) began to work on Anthem, Bioware Montreal was tasked with the development of ME:Andromeda. The Higher-Ups at EA decided that the new ME could use some fresh air and new ideas which is why they tasked a other team with the development of ME:A. The thought itself, that a new ME could use some new, fresh ideas wasn't a bad one. But the decision to use the Frostbite-Engine for a RPG was a very bad decision; they got to use the modified Frostbite-Engine which was used for DA:I but they still had to implement a ton of systems into the engine (like the animation system they used for ME:A) and also: the developers weren't very well trained in the use of the Frostbite-Engine. They had great goals for the game, but as they were working on it, they realized that some ideas weren't as good as they hoped to be and they had to change very core aspects of the game because it didn't seemed like it would be fun or just wasn't realizable with the frostbite engine. So while time moved on and the release date was getting nearer and nearer, the game was falling apart. The development team was hopelessly understaffed, which was especially a problem in the animator team of ME:A and they waited way too long to decide which system they are going to use for the lip sync which resulted in the problem with the weird facial animations. (I don't know for sure, but I think the lip sync was generated automatically and they didn't had the time to manually improve all of them.) So ... everything, which could go wrong during game development did go wrong. The ME they delivered was just a fraction of that what they originally had in mind to deliver and while ME:A is a bad Mass Effect, it isn't as bad as everyone's saying. It's a solid Sci-Fi RPG. So ... maybe after Anthem, and a new Dragon Age, we get another ME game but since most of the staff which worked on the original trilogy left bioware edmonton ... things seem pretty dark.

      One Dead Pixel The original trilogy was made by Bioware's Edmonton studio. Mass Effect Andromeda was made by a new studio in Montreal. The original team has nothing to do with MEA, it's a completely new team.
