How about you just make a decent game?

Lol that makes no sense. If andromeda was good enough to compete with Zelda:BOTW (Great game) in the first place, it would've done fine.

Andromeda was really just a boring game. I finished it more out of commitment having already started than out of desire. It was unimpressive for the most part and the ending felt like the end to a shitty movie.

Only thing that really impressed me was the animations for the Cora sex scene. Top fucking notch animating.

There's probably some animator who jerked one off at his desk doing that.


NieR got a shoestring budget from Square and was infinitely better done than Andromeda. It's literally the best example of Bioware's strong suit, storytelling, being done better by an alcoholic Jap in an Emil mask.

There are apparent hints that they're not done with Mass Effect in a recent interview with Casey Hudson. I'm like 'How the fuck are going to fix this?' ME 3 basically murdered most people's interest in the series and Andromeda murdered the rest of it. Mass Effect is now the equivalent of a joke. If the franchise was burnt to the ground, Andromeda tried to resurrect it by pissing on its ashes.

Bioware has become a boring, shit studio. They're already preparing for Destiny 3 Anthem's inevitable failure. And what is it with RPG studios lately and making really shitty MMOs? Bioware and Bethesda really competing there. Too bad Biowarefags have already been slowly going extinct, Bethesdafags will outbuy Anthem for Fallout 76, which looks to be even worse than Anthem.

Where could they possibly go for a new Mass Effect Game though? The post ME3 universe is utterly fucked and everyone hates Ryder and crew so much continuing Andromeda's story line is out of the question.

The only plausible way forward is either a prequel or a huge (100+ years) time skip.

Biowarefags haven't gone extinct, they're just fleeing to other RPG devs. It's only a matter of time until the only thing CDPR or Obsidian makes are soap opera power fantasy waifu simulators.

There's actually a pretty easy way to salvage Mass Effect. Unfortunately that would take decent writers which Bioware is allergic to.

This claim is amazingly gauling considering ME:A didn't even compete in the same fucking market space as BOTW. I'm sure someone in Ninty America looked at this article and had a good chuckle before sending it to Reggie who howled with laughter then stood on his desk and ripped his shirt off in a show of dominance.

Mmmm, no, there really isn't any more. The whole of the Milky Way was fucked over by the cannon ending, and Andromeda was fanservice circle jerk tier shit writing. You'd have to retcon ME3's ending into something like the Shepard Indoctrination Theory to even remotely begin unfucking the ME cannon at this point.

I suppose one could do something neat like a fascistic, paranoid Terminus Empire lead by the Batarians using harnessed Reaper tech threatening a knackered Citadel Council space still trying to desperately rebuild after the hugely devastating war, as well as trying to help the Quarians resettle.

Here's one way how to do it:

Quite literally burn the entire ending of ME3 to the ground and start over from close to ME3. You don't need to bring back Shepard or even do anything else, just find an alternative way to wrap things up and use that as your launch point. You have hundreds of other options, fucking use one of them. You can even XCOM2 this bitch and launch from a what-if scenario.

The entire ending of ME3 broke the fucking canon that hard, from storytelling conventions to the simple fact that nothing in it fits with anything that came before it. ME3's loaded with writing problems, but all are secondary to this one fuck-up.

They could always do the first contact war from either the humans or turians side, but at that point, it would lose the entire point that mass effect stood for, multiple different groups working together.
 
I don't understand why they had to overcomplicate shit. Paragon: Choice you control the Reapers and they help rebuild the galaxy. But it's tenuous and ppl are gonna wanna use them for their own ends.

Renegade: you destroy them at the cost of also killing other robotic life forms, like Geth. The reapers are finally gone but the galaxy is in flames.


There. Each sceneario can be hand waves or tweaked by setting the next game a 100 or so years in the future
