This is a very good point brought up by someone in a youtube video:
"It's like the founders of Bioware left or the game was missing the Director, the Producer, all the previous Senior writers, the Lead Writer (left in 2), all the older experienced artists and Unreal Engine guys were replaced by inexperienced guys on a new engine, and the lead writer in 3 (who did not write Tuchanka or Rannoch which were high points) who solo lead wrote that awesome ME 3 ending and a really bad comic book was promoted."
Some people, like myself, can notice the change. Some find new qualities. It's all up to the individual, and I think the number of people we've seen having bad thoughts of this game....I guess they simply notice the bad more, while there are some that notice the good.
It's not like the majority of bad reviews are coming from the peanut gallery. These are people who have played and reviewed the game. |
But... Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Which means that the Game Engine (Frostbite 3) is not Alien to Bioware.
Inquisition also had decent writing. (Especially with the DLC to round out the ending.)
And I loved the characters and voice work. Some good animations in it as well.
Really not sure if I should get Andromeda or not at the moment. Haha.
Part of me says yes... Drop $100 on it. Another says... Wait till it's $30.
