Poll: Are You Excited for Mass Effect: Andromeda?

Can't wait! The only thing holding me back about pre-ordering is worrying if the game will run okay on launch.

I bought them all on PS3 a year or so ago in a sale , played about a half of the first one and loved it , I will definitely be getting this when it's about £30 a month or so after release . Does anybody know if it matters that I'll know none of the back story ?

Couldn't care less. Played ME3 on PS3 and found it very 'meh'. Which was odd, because in theory it had everything I like in a game. But I never took to it. Didn't take to any of the characters, and didn't care for the story. Most fun I had was the mining!

I finished the story and never went back to it. Nor did I develop any interest in playing the previous 2 games. So this is a complete non-event for me.

I'm in the same boat. I adore the trilogy, as a whole, warts and all. I love the universe, the lore, and i own more N7 clothing than anyone else I know. But let's be honest, this isn't the same Bioware from 2006.

My first red flag was looking at the pricing tiers, in which they're asking for a whopping $100 for the ultimate edition, which contains no season pass for additional SP content, and a few MP consumables. That worries me. A lot. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy ME3 horde mode, but it seems like it will have a very heavy focus in Andromeda.

Also we're hearing a lot of PR speak, which sounds dubiously similar to what Casey Hudson was promising in the trilogy, and not much to back it up. I just.....don't feel like I need to rush out and preorder this right away. I feel like a pet pyjack and some outfits aren't enough incentive to give them extra money. I guess I just don't have as much trust in Bioware now as I did years ago.

I keep holding onto the N7 Day trailer...that one was AMAZING, imho! We haven't seen a lot of dialog / story sequence footage, so that's what I'm hanging my battered fanboy hopes on.

ME1 is still far and away the best game experience I've ever had (for the time it came out), so I'm going to be disappointed no matter what!

@RedMageLanakyn Yeah, I've always gotten the collector's editions in the past...this time, there really isn't one. And it's definitely weird that they don't have a single player season pass considering the HUGE amount of single-player campaign DLC the last two games had...HMMMMM....

Then again, Dragon Age Inquisition didn't have a season pass either.

There isn't a game coming out this year that I'm more excited for. I can't wait!

@Jake3103 Thanks Jake that's great news . Regards the others , my backlog is MASSIVE both on PS3 and now surely but steadily on PS4. I may give ME3 a go though to see how the series progressed and get me in the mood for the new one.

I played the first two but it was not for me. So i wont buy this. I understand that some People like this game

First Mass Effect was a lot of fun, but I was done once Bioware kept "streamlining" the RPG mechanics. It's pretty much just an exploratory shooter now.

So, no, not interested.

@kupoid Historically speaking, I don't think any ME game has had a season pass. DAI did get a GOTY though, which is also something ME has never done. It's near impossible to buy ME2 or ME3 in a complete package. I still don't have all the ME3 DLC, mainly because it's still overpriced, which is unfortunate as I've heard it's good. I just can't bring myself to buy DLC that costs more than the game itself!

It's so strange to see another EA game like BF1 be totally upfront and say "give us $110 and you'll get everything" and Andromeda is saying "give us $100 and you'll get the base game and some MP crap, and you'll still pay a high premium for the SP DLC later on"

The Mass Effect series is my favorite gaming series of all time. Unfortunately though, I feel very lukewarm about this installment. It probably has to do with the abscense of Shepardand friends, and the focus on open world exploration. (I disliked Mass Effect 1 and the mako, hate me if you want.) I'm optimistic about the game. But with Nier and Persona 5 sandwiching in Mass Effect, I may have to skip for a while until the price drops. Which is something I thought I would never say about ME4. If this game came out 2 years ago I would have been all over it.

Edit: Also I want to say that this game reminds me of Halo 4 in a bad way. New story, new characters, a long development, and just a general sense of weirdness. But at least Halo 4 brought back it's main character.

I played ME3 on the Wii U and it's definitely on my top 10 games for the system. I wish EA would have released the trilogy on Wii U along with the PS3 and 360 as I don't own neither of those two. I'd also take a remaster but that seems unlikely.
I'll pick this up eventually as I already have both TLoZ: BotW and South Park pre-ordered for March.

@OldSchoolHeel Perhaps. But the original wasn't available on PS3, until months later. Even so, I'd have expected to feel <i>something</i> for the characters, to make me want to go back to the start. But there was nothing which made me feel "I want to know more about this universe".

Already pre-ordered over 6months ago - I think that says all you need to know. Not as excited for this as Horizon:ZD though...

Not interested at all.
I understand that this is a standalone title, but I'm not going to play it without having played the trilogy first.
I'll keep holding out for the remaster. If it doesn't happen, it's not meant to be.
Not like I'm running out of games to play.

@Tasuki Thats the point, i can respect that other people like other games. I also see that some people love mass effect. While you are with team #hating uncharted 4 because that seems cool. You can't respect other peoples choices. Funny that someone who whines a lot about the borefest that is uncharted 4 is the moderator/police of this website.

This list of yours explains a lot xD

1. Overwatch
2. Modern Ware Remastered
3. Black Ops 3
4. Fallout 4
5. Lego Dimension

I'll read a few reviews before I get Andromeda. The combat videos shown so far look extremely fast paced and straight up in your face pew pew with no tactics. I prefer using warp, singularity and slam biotic powers from cover whilst ordering my allies to flank. The games have most definitely turned more into action shooters from the RPG feel of the first one.

It the only game I will be be buying this year so you can take that as a big yes.

ME2 was excellent, one of my favourite single player games on PS3. ME3 was good, and even though they improved the action/combat aspects, overall it felt less for me. the story, characters, etc. were less engaging somehow compared with the squad building cameraderie of the second game. didn't help that the final denouement was a bit crap..

i've still got ME:A pre-ordered though what i saw the other day of the combat concerned me a bit. the gunplay looked somewhat insubstantial which is a bit of surprise considering it's built off the battlefield frostbite engine. just hope the rest of the aspects of it are up to scratch.

I'm always in the market for a good RPG but at the moment I have Horizon and Persona 5 pretty ordered which bookend this release and South Park is already paid for, so this will either have to be something really special or it'll simply have to wait until later in the year

I can't stand BioWare games.

no, after mass effect 3 (not because of the whole ending fiasco just such a let down after ME2) I'm gonna wait and see and pick it up when it drops in price

@RedMageLanakyn I have ALL of the DLC for all Mass Effect games (!!!), and yeah, it's definitely a rip-off, especially since there's no packaged deal!

I personally hope Bioware returns to "Expansion Packs" since I'd much rather play a $40 standalone campaign than several smaller side quests at $15 each, released months apart long after I've beaten the main game. ONE CAN ONLY HOPE...

@NintendoFan4Lyf Same here! ME2 and ME3 just feel like fan-fiction, especially since the characters ALWAYS had to look sexy and not wear things like armor or airtight suits when running around IN OUTER SPACE. And I still mourn the infinite ammo system...the way it's explained in the lore is soooo cool and futuristic!

Don't have the time, too many games, so not interested.

I'd hoped for a remaster similar to the uncharted collection as I missed the first three on the PS3, and I no longer own one to buy and play the games. Unless a remaster comes out, which I've heard doesn't sound like one is, then I'll have to wait for reviews to come out. If I need to know and understand what's come before ME:A then the game won't be for me.

Cautiously optimistic.

Super excited to play it. Not so excited about when it's coming out tho. With Horizon, Ghost Recon and the Switch and all its launch games all coming within a months time, I may have to hold off until the summer to play it. Very pleased with what they've shown so far.

I probably would be if I really got a good chance to play the original trilogy, but I haven't, so this gets a skip for now.

Yes, I'm definitely excited.

@Tasuki Its not because you dont like Uncharted but more about your choice of games is focused on FPS. Call me what you want but im no sheep. I am not interested in only Sony games

Not interested at all. Beat ME2 and that was enough for me.

I'm actually surprised to find that I'm really excited for more Mass Effect!

Mass Effect was the game that made me realise that I don't particularly like sci-fi games. I never got its appeal. So just like 95% of all the big releases, I'll give it a miss!

I'm looking forward to it enough that I pre-ordered it for the Xbox One. Some of the recent gameplay convinced me it will be a worthy entry in the series.

@Tasuki To be fair. Every time i gave my opinion and you reacted. Also with this subject addresssed me first so dont be surprised if i comment back. After this i wont bother you again.

I played the first 2 games over and over. Played the 3rd twice. Ending was terrible, even after the "better ending patch". So, I'm just going to sit back, relax and wait until at least the results are in to see if it stays true to Mass Effect and it's gameplay/storyline. Deviate too far from the original trilogy, then I'm not even interested. May as well make a different IP instead of hanging your hat on past merits.

It looks amazing but the gameplay I've seen not so much, I'll definitely buy it day one most likely. because it's bioware.

I'm excited but also hoping they don't mess it up. While I appreciate the multiplayer in ME3 was a controversial addition, it's a big selling point for me on this game and I hope they're smart enough to make it as fun and accessible as it was last time.

Obviously I'm hoping the single player is incredible as well. Hopefully they have a whole plot planned out for the entire trilogy this time round from the beggining and won't make it up as they go along.

@MinerWilly I'm with @jake3103 on this, you really should finish the trilogy. The 3 games together are amazing.

That said I'm not looking forward to the next game as they will either mess it up or it will be DA inquisition set in space.

@Tasuki @Sanquine You 2 been watching Harry Hill? Chill out lads. Tasuki your a great mod, Sanquine your a great part of the community. Stop being daft. Love ❤ life.
