It really was a fucking goldmine.
Somebody post some of the Sarah Ryder autism pics. Good shit.

They believed their own hype. And when that failed, they wrote it off as the failure of a branch office, and continued believing their own hype for Anthem.

I remember when ME1 came out and all the hype around it. And then ME2 was even MORE hyped up, even though it was a give and take on good improvements and kind of stupid changes. Then 3 was a dumpster fire that got followed up by this steaming turd. Never seen a series come and go so quickly from hottest thing on the market to literally DED GAEM

It was more depressing to me than anything else, and I stopped caring. The ME3 shitposting was great though, the growing compilations of all the amateur hour technical flaws and mistakes

You know whats worse? People still fucking bought it full price even after seeing the terrible animation work.

what is this post supposed to mean

>These idiots will buy whatever shit we make because it has “Mass Effect” on it.
>Are you sure Boss?
>Look at how well 3 sold and we literally have them an ending for 2 year olds.
>It’s true, sir, gamers are disgusting sheep.

Truly the power of being a consoomer/Biodrone
>Nnoooooo! This is just a smear campaign! Based Bioware won’t deliver a product that shitty!
Followed by the sour grapes after wasting their money

That's probably the most depressing part about things like Andromeda and Anthem - they still made back EA's money, they just didn't make back enough to have the board of directors jizzing in their pants. Even when they publish absolute garbage games, they still aren't in any danger of going under.

cute

Say what you will, but Andromeda awoke an autism/retard fetish in me something FIERCE.

Actually, fuck that. There's not enough autistic actresses in porn and now my thirst remains unquenched.

true it really was. i also played it for free on EA origin and the laughs just kept coming when i experienced it first hand. couldnt keep playing it though it was so awful.

Hahaha.. yeah, what happened to bioware...hahahahHAHAHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFUCKFUCKFUCK

this is the entire media industry, just be thankful we're in a recession finally, these people are going to have to put suicide nets on their offices

Yas Forums has finally taken its final step and decided it actively hates video games.

Considering the time difference, Oblivion may have actually had better potato faces a decade earlier

It means that a tranny who liked Andromeda because a tranny showed up in the first hour to give their whole tranny life story
Which of course actual trannies complained about, but trannies on Yas Forums are autists who start growing their hair out because they think they'll magically get a lesbian gf the day they change their steam pronouns

How did the autism thing become a meme?

her facial animations are so bad and her VA is so flat that the character seemed like she was autistic

They purposefully fucked up the facescanned model's face up so bad that it looks like she has autism, also yeah, the VO was dogshit

MAYBE IM FOOLISH

I've played through and completed the trilogy many times but i cant bring myself to play andromeda a second time.

>Management couldn't make up their minds until a year before release
>The POWER OF FROSTBITE wasn't actually suited for what they were doing
>The story was written by the seat of their pants
This also applies for Anthem and DA:I.

I dont recall that, asari are a single sex species.

They were planning to make a wildly ambitious game that let you explore a shitload of planets, they couldn't get it to work for years, and then they cobbled together this nonsense and called it a day.

SJWism and feminism are symptoms. The underlying cause is people like Casey Hudson not knowing how to manage a team and focus them on achievable goals. Anthem was the same way. It was Hudson's dream game. He wanted it to be perfect. And he no fucking idea what it was supposed to be. Years of people floundering around with everybody wanting to be the 'ideas guy'.

Get rid of middle management.

Aren't they all bitches?

then don't even try to search that

Why was this autistic so cute?

The most boggling thing about Andromeda is how they completely missed what people *actually* liked in original trilogy. Memorable story moments combined with memorable characters were the fucking backbone of it all, something like ME1 (and to be honest, even the later ones) would have never been carried by its gameplay, being a below-average cover shooter by all measures. So what they do with Andromeda? Somehow manage to botch up all aspects of the writing, rendering all gameplay improvements meaningless.

I mean, combat in it is better than it was in earlier ME games, but who gives a shit when the entire game lacks a hook that would keep you interested in it?

The blatant woke shit they tried to force into this game actively made me want to see this fucking thing fail, its bad enough ME3 basically ruined the milky way and franchise, this was just even more bullshit.

Good god, there's just no substitute for her, is there?

>the entire game lacks a hook that would keep you interested in it
This. There are a number of possibilities that never get any serious attention. The idea of the citadel-equivalent (the nexus? Whatever the fuck its called) being in a state of factional warfare and everything being a general clusterfuck catastrophe when you get on the scene is interesting, but loses momentum almost immediately. The new peaceful species, whatever they're called, are completely boring, a generic set of nice guys to ensure they generate no serious conflict. Same for the bad guys, exacerbated by the fact that all of the history between the two has absolutely nothing to do with you or the initiative

Dev team was 40% female.

>The new peaceful species, whatever they're called, are completely boring, a generic set of nice guys to ensure they generate no serious conflict.
Yeah, imagine making a game about exploring a NEW FRONTIER IN SPACE and then you just put some le generic good and evil races there. It blows my mind how goddamn mundane it all feels, frontiersmanning my ass.

You can see where they tried to appeal to the ME1 audience by bringing back inventory management, individual cooldowns, vehicle, etc. It was just all done incompetently and without any soul. They didn't even like their own game, the characters make jokes about how ridiculous the story is, how badly their vehicle handles, how ugly the enemy aliens are.

>combat in it is better than it was in earlier ME games
Fuck no, I played that shit on Insanity. It gets old fast. I'd play ME1 any day over that shit.

I want to see Shepard bully that manlet so bad

He's supposed to be 5'9 but I swear this dude looks 4 feet tall. These models are completely fucked.

this game will forever be a reminder for what women in gaming can accomplish

literally a 4 foot spic goblin

It was. The post twitter meltdown from the devs were pretty funnym

and the model they used for her face is actually very pretty. I guess the hambeasts at bioshit were scared of attrative females
