Comment on Leaked trailer for the cancelled game Mass Effect: Universe

They had a trailer for anthem and none of it was in the game. It looks a concept trailer.
I say that as someone who has bought and loves their games, even anthem and ME:A.
They aren’t the same developers anymore 😔
Sad to see them get laid off but they have been mismanaged for a decade

I still haven’t even played ME3 past the first couple of missions. Why do people hate Andromeda so much, and why don’t you?

Andromeda had some of the best combat and controls of any of the games. Unfortunately, the story is bland and repetitive.

Which is unfortunate given it was ostensibly an RPG.
I’ll sound like a hipster, but I still like ME1 the best because it was this interesting promise of an expansive sci-fi RPG world. The world did expand but it sanded off the RPG.

My favorite is still ME2. I feel like it did the best balancing action and RPG elements without becoming too “Call of Duty”-esque or being weighed down by RPG bullshit or time sink.
ME1’s “you can hold a sniper rifle, but you’re too brain dead to use it” if you didn’t pick Soldier was a great example of being too RPG bullshit to me. You’re telling me I have the accuracy of a drunk child with a sniper rifle because I picked playing Adept or Engineer? I’m glad they fixed it in the remake.

The story is decent enough, but the missions definitely had some “filler”. Its biggest issue was that way launch it was a buggy mess

The word “some” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that statement. There was a LOT of filler to pad out playtime.

It had some silly cutscene animations and the main story is quiet short.
However the gameplay (like anthem which is very similar but with flying mechs) is great
I played almost 200hr of ME:A much of it in the multi-player because it was just crazy fun combat. I also 100% the story and exploring the worlds finding all the little collectibles and lore was great.
Its clear that the main story was horribly rushed but there was a ton of lore around that fleshed out a lot.
Recommend picking it up on a cheap sale for $4-$8
