I'm keeping an eye on Andromeda but I'm not hyped. ME3 left a bad taste in my mouth. The thing about that game that I looked forward to the least, the multiplayer, was what I ended up enjoying most.

I must say I really enjoyed the MP. But I still only played it enough to get to the necessary readiness rating to snag the platinum trophy. But I think horde mode might be a style of MP I could get into a bit more. So I hope if Andromeda has MP that they don't only have PvP modes of MP.

I am hyped for Andromeda, but I enjoyed the story of the original trilogy Mass Effect so much right until the final 10 minutes that I am going to find it very hard to imagine that this could be the best Mass Effect ever, at least until I read it from highly trusted fgamers on this and other forums. I certainly won't be trusting reviewers on this sort of claim. I had a progressivly sinking feeling with Mass Efect 3's ending that they could not possibly make it a satisfying ending because of how huge and overwhelming the threat had become, which is why the F-you all ending is canon for me. Which means of course that Andromeda is a non-canon sequel.

I would actually love to see a Mass Effect sequel set after the F-you all ending several thousand years in the future when the first several species in the next cycle discover the mass relays and the Citadel and start the whole galactic civilisation cycle again, thousands of years before the reapers are due to return so that this is not the main thread of the games. Perhaps some of the game is uncovering clues about the reapers and the cycle, but not the main thrust.

Honestly I wish the Mass Effect team could develop the game play and the Dragon Age Team could write the story. For all of it's flaws, the DA franchise has vastly superior writing. It's clear that the ME team didn't really have a narrative plan and made things up on the fly. The constantly shifting writing team made glaring mistakes and it annoyed the hell out of me. ME3 had great gameplay, but outside of Tuchanka and Rannoch the story was pretty weak.
