Mass Effect Andromeda

[ghostryder]

I think it doesn't matter if they fix it. If the writing is bad and the quests boring and there's nothing intriguing about the new setting there's little reason to waste one's time with it. Every review says the same thing -- all the above.

It's sort of like the Alien movies. we start out with a strong movie (Alien-Mass Effect1) an even stronger sequel (Alien2-Mass Effect 2) and then things turn wierd (Alien 3- Mass Effect 3) and then quickly go downhill (alien resurrection, Alien vs predator--Mass Effect Andromeda)

They could have gave us a great character to play to replace shepard---they didn't. They could have gave us an interesting new galaxy to learn about and explore--they didn't. They could have up'd the voice acting to make an impact--they didn't - they could have introduced engaging new alien races-they didn't.

It's like watching a mad for TV movie based on a Stephen King Novel.

Your 'Aliens' analogue is strong....except you left off 'Prometheus', which was (IMHO) a very good movie.

I was undecided about Prometheus and await the next one to see where that trilogy goes. Based on the trailers it looks pretty good but i fear the main plot twist may be a bummer (some speculate the android creates the monster). I kind of already accepted the Engineer's created them to end us---we being a failed experiment of the Engineers. Now we are to accept an android named David programmed by an Evil corporation and thus Evil as well engineered the xenomorph because that's what all corporations do in a Hollywood movie.

I (and most other people I know) actually think the 3rd the is the worst.

Alien 3 rocks!

Alien 3 rocks!

No. No it does not.

Neither does Prometheus.

[Gusington]

There you go again.

To each his own. I thought Prometheus was excellent.

[Gusington]

Tell him Rayfer!!

[Barthheart]

He's right about 3 and wrong about Prometheus. 50% is not bad...

[mirth]

This is the entire plot of Prometheus

[mirth]

Tell him Rayfer!!

Notice no one is defending Alien 3?

[Gusington]

Except me...until the end of time. Stop the Alien 3 hate!
