FTS Gecko 24,135 Posted November 5, 2015 ...I've given up hoping for Andromeda news, but I may well pop on to the Xbox 360 for some Any / Any / Gold. For old times sake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DariusAPB 6,925 Posted November 5, 2015 In one weeks time we'll have backwards compatability. So i'll have to find time to play through the entire trilogy again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FTS Gecko 24,135 Posted November 5, 2015 I'm still waiting for a solid reason to upgrade from my 360. In the meantime, Firebase Dagger: Hazard, Collectors, Gold. ENEMIES EVERYWHERE! GO GO GO! 1 DariusAPB reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DariusAPB 6,925 Posted November 6, 2015 For me Halo 5 and battlefront. Those were my reasons. Originally elite dangerous but.... I'll just out and say it. Grinding sucks , and all it is is grinding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FTS Gecko 24,135 Posted November 6, 2015 Welp, apparently there's going to be no Andromeda news tomorrow, just discounts in the Bioware store. I miss the weekend challenges/events. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DariusAPB 6,925 Posted November 6, 2015 I loved that ME's multiplayer was all about co-op. I'd love to see that mode fleshed out into larger maps and tighter knit fireteams. 3 UnfairBanana, Conandoodle and FTS Gecko reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FTS Gecko 24,135 Posted November 6, 2015 Yeah, it was a welcome break from deathmatch games everywhere. The second most fun co-op experience I've had online (behind Left 4 Dead, which was just AMAZING). Had some absolutely frantic and hilarious games, last-ditch full extractions or soloing an objective wave when things go horribly wrong. It was (is) an outstanding first effort at multiplayer from Bioware. And one of the best parts? All the DLC for multiplayer was FREE. 2 DariusAPB and Conandoodle reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FTS Gecko 24,135 Posted November 6, 2015 On Bioware's N7 Day page, it states outright "we have nothing new to show you for Andromeda". To be honest, I'm not overly optimistic from what I've seen of Andromeda so far. It looks like a total shift away from the original trilogy. Potentially new characters, new timeline, new galaxy - it might as well be the difference between Halo and Destiny. I wonder if Bioware have underestimated how truly attached a large percentage of their players are to the characters and setting they created. 1 DariusAPB reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm fine with it. we have no idea how they get to this other galaxy, so previous characters are a possibility - if not, whole new galaxy to mess with. New Story, new characters... Look at inquisition, they can make huge great games. Bioware can do it. Then they can make a star wars game done just like ME3 set in the OT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DariusAPB 6,925 Posted November 6, 2015 Why? ME3 was a solid game, and an amazing piece of the trilogy up until literally the last 5 minutes. Even then the multiplayer was solid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killakan 136 Posted November 6, 2015 That was a horrible choice for bioware you guys all better hope that they don't do it to Andromeda as well but over all that bullcrap the rest of the series will go well BTW I have not had the chance to see what Andromeda is all about so I ask what is the news on Andromeda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's less the 5 minutes than the truly insulting way they as a company responded, saying the outrage was because Shepard could be gay or because he died. Instead of addressing the valid complaint that the ending was essentially a palate swap and didn't reflect in game choices as promised. 1 DariusAPB reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conandoodle 1,817 Posted November 9, 2015 ME was .. nay, still is .. one of the greatest trilogies in gaming history (as far as I'm concerned). Co-op Multiplayer was great, story, characters, etc, wonderful. I'm excited to see where they go with it. I'm happy with their release schedule. I need time to play Halo 5, COD, Fallout 4, Tomb Raider and a little indie game you guys probably haven't heard about ... Battlefront. In other news, there's a fella I see on the train each day. The first day I caught the train I saw him wearing an N7 hoody, gave him a nod and said "Good game hey!?". To this day we give each other a nod when we see each other. 2 DariusAPB and FTS Gecko reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I try not to be a grammar nazi as I am far from perfect, but occasionally I do use grammar. In your post there was next to no structure, it was actually painful to read.

Not to mention XBONE Backwards compat, so i can play the ME games all over again! SQUEEE. I agree that mass effect was one of the greatest trilogies in gaming history, except for the lat 5 minutes.
