Makes you wonder how long this 'fix' has been sitting there, waiting for the game to be cracked. It's almost as if they were....expecting it... |
Haha, in this gaming era guided by schizophrenic developments and demented corporate businesses, nothing would surprise me anymore really. 
Considering all the deserved backfire and bad reception, it would be a very poor strategy, but the updated protection definitely was/is part of a sneaky backup plan. They're now quite desperately playing the long game, following Sean Murray's vision only with less awkward radio silence. |

The sad part is after all these shits, big part of people will forget how shitty the game was. Of course their argument will be "it doesn't matter how bad it was at the beginning, it ended well so we can suck developers' dick".
don't get me wrong it's a positive thing that they fix the game. But feeling appreciation for it, is total retardation. It's their fucking job to fix/polish their product.

To me not much changes because you're still stuck with the same: dialogues, gameplay and overall story. I'm glad they are fixing it though, their customers deserve better quality for shelling out that kind of money.

Oh no, it still sucks. No amount of eye shadow is going to fix the appalling dialog and happy rainbow world gameplay.
I can only hope that somehow the gaming industry wake up to the fact that this shit is NOT what the vast majority of gaming people actually want.

it's #1 on sales this week. who is this majority you are talking about.
btw #2 is wildlands, which has gotten the same amount of hate in here.
you guys should wake up and realize that this is gaming these days and accept it and just have fun with it, like the majority or go back and play older games and get all nostalgic.
nothing will change with your hate or "im not buying this", because as you can see you are not the majority or the target group anymore

Why do you think the game is topping the charts right now? Could it be because it is THE ONLY GAME release of ANY note recently? If a TES game was released tomorrow, THAT would be number 1, regardless of how crap it might be. Then an Assassins Creed game the week after.
Sheep buy games based on the IP. That's just the way it is, it has literally no bearing on the quality of the game. I would be far more interested to see what would happen if 5 so-called AAA games were released at the same time. But we know that won't happen - for the exact reason you're bringing up - chart position, while meaningless in terms of the actual game itself, is not meaningless to the publisher, as it means they sold enough copies to be able to say Number One bestseller.
It's meaningless.

The ~600 years taken to traverse the distance is in line with FTL speeds in the existing lore. The problem is that the existing lore states that ships must regularly stop to discharge their drive cores, otherwise the electrostatic charge buildup would fry the ship and crew. MEA gets around this by retconning the invention of a magic new drive that bypasses that problem.
| Nodrim wrote: | | Also, the Initiative was formed before the action of the first game and closely after discovering the mass relay on mars. How come humans are so accepted and asari know about cats already? |
They departed in 2185, 6-12 months before the Reapers hit Earth at the start of ME3. The Initiative was founded in 2176, 7 years before the start of ME1. The First Contact War occurred in 2157, so Humans were known the wider galaxy for almost two decades before the Initiative started, and almost three decades by the time they left.

So the Tempest has an engine better than the one of any other ship in the Milky Way, capable of traversing without Mass Relays. But this engine wasn't present in Mass Effect 3 when the allied races needed that. Should I point out the problem with the game's name caused by this?
I must have missed or forgotten this part. I do remember Lawson and Illusive Man being mentioned by at least one character, but not the exact timeline.

No, it doesn't eliminate the need for relays. Like I said, they travel at the same max speed as previous ME ships. That's why MEA is limited to a single cluster, Heleus, unlike ME1-3 where you traverse the entire galaxy via the relay network. All the retcon drives do is remove the discharge issue.

I thought the same, that we traverse from one corner to another of the galaxy and Heleus cluster is just the starting point. But in all fairness, the galaxy map doesn't do a very good job at highlighting this

Yeah the way they did it was kind of stupid. In order to not do Nodrim was suggesting and make relays superfluous, they needed to stick to a single cluster. But they also needed it to have a bunch of systems to visit, so it has a metric shitton compared to an ME1-3 cluster, like this:
 Spoiler: | |
They also tossed a giant black hole in the middle as well, because why not.
Btw, based on my back of the envelope calculations, it would take around 25 years at constant FTL to travel across the Milky Way, and around 55 years to travel across Andromeda. Future games will clearly need some sort of relay equivalent, or another magic drive.

That explains it a bit, was wondering about that black hole though.
Sir (Or well, mam I guess.) we found this cluster of golden worlds, perfect living space for our new colony effort!
...Just ignore the giant black hole in the center of it slowly sucking in the surroundings.
(Oh I'm sure it'll be fine, leave it to the future generations to sort that through.)
EDIT: The ass of Andromeda I guess, heh wonder if you'll use that to reach the DLC areas, probably a bit too much suspense of disbelief though even for this franchise, this isn't Mario Galaxy after all where you can just use them as warp areas.
(Shepherd did about the same traveling to the core in ME2 after all.)
Probably some space left on the existing map to squeeze in a DLC related cluster or two if they'll decide for adding more single-player content to the game.
That or I don't know, maybe actually landing on some of the existing planets that currently only serve to deliver a single dose of resources or a codex entry of how much of a dead place said planet is.
There's like what, almost a hundred planets and you can land on like five areas? Nothing new for Mass Effect though as such which is why most planets have said descriptions as to why you don't land on them. 
But rambling aside I think they already explained that additional content was going to focus on the multiplayer side of the game.
(Although in a month or two we might be able to make believable looking characters, that's something I guess.)

The discovering golden worlds in Andromeda from the Milky Way thing is a whole other kettle of retarded fish. The explanation for that is pretty stupid.

Eh, it's game logic. Still, they at least adressed the issue.
Oh and firsty major DLC will probably be | Spoiler: | finding the space gypsy Ark |
, strongly hinted in the post edgame party.

The Salarian multi-cultural ark that was delayed due to technical difficulties accommodating species like Drell, Elkor and Hanar?
Or the Quarians you mean, was wondering where they went besides their current issues with the flottilla and Geth keeping them focused on current events.
(They actually legitimately need a planet of their own too, well they kinda want the Geth one if I remember it right.)

The first one is already in game (main mission even) and is one species only, it's the second one that's multispecies. And in the post engame party you receive a transmission from the latter that they're still alive but in trouble (obviously)

You can ignore getting other arks, but the one you're talking about is main mission,can't be skipped.
You can, however, make him very,very uncomfortable with a certain decision you make post-endgame. He literally does not know what to say

Good writing and good animations are never out of age, bub. Get your bearings, your opinion is clearly biased by your love of the the racial and transexual thing.
