    I dared to hope that Mass Effect would be good.

    I now dare to hope someone steps up to the plate and gives us a spiritual successor. I miss being a space captain having space adventures in space with my space buddies.

      Some of the old team are working on one called “Exodus” that looks okay. Matthew McConaughey is involved somehow, so take of that what you will.

      I didn’t even dare to hope. Just look at the games that have been put out over the decade? With such high quality games like Anthem, Andromeda and now Veil Guard.

      Yeah, Bioware is just a name, and has no prestige anymore.

        Anthem and Andromeda were actually pretty good as bases to work off of. I truly believe Anthem could’ve succeeded in the stated mission of “Destiny Killer” if they had put work into making it good, building it into a good instanced MMO. Same with Andromeda - actually pretty good game that just had a rough start, and could’ve been great if the studio had put time and effort into DLC.

        But the metric is never “how many people are actually saying this is a good game and they enjoy it”, it’s “did this literally smash every other game out there on release.”

        I liked Andromeda though. It made me feel like maybe they could return to form. The narrative was not great and completely forgettable along with the followers but I liked the gameplay and I’ll die on the hill that exploration wise it was a better Mass Effect 1 than Mass Effect 1. The writing was what needed work and I was hoping they would get it right this time around. But seeing how the studio was gutted and this is the lesson they learned from Veilguard I now fully expect it to be a Helldivers ripoff. In fact screencap this.
