mass effect: andromeda Archives

And with the sheer pressure on Anthem to perform well due to the Hindenburg launch cycle of Mass Effect: Andromeda, that may have been the wisest choice For now, all we can do is laugh and hope some more patches hit before February 22nd. You can check out a video of some of the bugs below[...]

Mass Effect: Andromeda's launch was certainly a hot topic The game was met with huge fan backlash, but since it has seen a lot of work Patches have sanded off the edges, and now, what many found janky and messy looks fairly impressive That's why now might be a great chance to dive in. If you[...]

Day One patches have saved so many games that shipped absolutely broken (Mass Effect: Andromeda not withstanding) And without micro-transactions or subscriptions, we wouldn't get that. And not one of us is willing to pay multiple game subscriptions each month Just this fall it'd be absurd. Assassin's Creed: Origins, Call of Duty: WWII, Destiny 2, Middle-earth: Shadow of War each with[...]

There were many things wrong with Mass Effect: Andromeda by the time the game shipped, but developer Manveer Heir has blamed the large share of the issues on a lack of diversity at Bioware Which, we pretty much expected. Lack of diversity isn't just apparent at Bioware but with about every game developer, especially those working for AAA[...]

BioWare just announced through a brief post on the official Mass Effect website that patched for the single player and story content of Mass Effect: Andromeda has ended with the latest update, 1.10 So the game as it stands now is how it will remain.

After talking to three anonymous sources, Kotaku confirmed last month that plans for a sequel to Andromeda have been shelved. Since launching Andromeda, BioWare has released patches to improve the experience, but has not stated any plans for single-player DLC. When asked for a comment by GameInformer, EA responded, "We have no DLC details regarding Mass Effect:[...]

That's, pretty damn impressive. According to the NPD Group's findings (which we got through IGN) the top selling games of 2017 so far are: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands For Honor The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Horizon Zero Dawn Mass Effect: Andromeda Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Grand Theft Auto V NBA 2K17 Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare MLB 17: The Show So despite all[...]

YongYea is the first YouTuber to come out and show everyone just exactly what the new 1.06 patch does for Mass Effect: Andromeda and the results are interesting In the video below he compares the old version to the new one, highlighting where Bioware took a hammer and some paint to areas that just plain sucked[...]

What is noticeable is that there is no mention whatsoever of Bioware's Mass Effect: Andromeda which was released late into the fourth quarter (Andromeda released on March 23rd) so that the initial profits could be reflected in EA's end of year calculations Given Andromeda's lukewarm reception, this isn't too surprising that the game wasn't a highlight, but[...]

Mass Effect: Andromeda developer BioWare, specifically their Montreal studio which made Andromeda, has put the series on hiatus, according to a report. A representative for EA sent out the following statement: Our teams at BioWare and across EA put in tremendous effort bringing Mass Effect Andromeda to players around the world Even as BioWare continues to focus on[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Yes, I know, the facial animations are their own sort of hell, but despite that and numerous bugs, Mass Effect: Andromeda is still a pretty good game We're going to take this step-by-step so I can properly make my case, because the detrimental factors are so easy to name while the good parts can be[...]

From bizarre facial animations, weak gay male romance options, to your usual bugs, Mass Effect: Andromeda has had a rough launch week Bioware has been monitoring the complaints and intends to work out some fixes in the next few weeks.

Scott Ryder flanked by none of his potential same-sex partners Oh Mass Effect: Andromeda This is the game that tried, but didn't quite make it on a lot of fronts While the multiplayer is absolutely solid, the single player campaign which should be the heart of any Bioware title is lacking in so many ways[...]

She is now being blamed for the bizarre facial animations in Mass Effect: Andromeda even though she did not work on Andromeda at all Leost has been attacked viciously on social media, most notably on her twitter account. A GamerGate affiliated blog is to be blamed for most of this, predictably The blog in question, TheRalphRetort, asserted that Leost was[...]

As shown in examples online from gamers who have had early access to Mass Effect: Andromeda highlighting the bad designs and errors on Twitter The one that made me laugh the most was watching someone fire a gun backward, which by definition, is one of the biggest things you should notice from a cutscene when someone is firing[...]

I know most of us were silently hoping that the incredibly terrible facial animations on the human characters in Mass Effect: Andromeda would be fixed by the 2 GB Day One patch Sadly, Bioware has decided to crush our feeble dreams Lead designer for the game, Ian Frazier, answered a question on twitter about the animations, confirming[...]

I mean this in the best way, but the facial animations in Mass Effect: Andromeda just look worse every time I see them And I've seen them a lot, I've been very excited for this game because when Bioware does good work, they do it fantastically But the facial animations problem that's plagued them for years[...]
