Mass Effect: Andromeda Won't Have Any More Single-Player Updates Or DLC

So, screw us, basically? Game developers need to plan DLCs for these large, open world titles ahead of time. For all its problems, there are countless loose threads by the end of Andromeda. I bought this game under the presumption that EA would have at least enough courtesy to, you know, finish what they started. Thanks for the reminder that anything EA touches turns to a toxic pile of radioactive garbage.

No quarian, volus and etc... races anymore.

This is no longer a Mass Effect game without the other races.

This is Biowares fault they killed ME by pulling most of their programmers off for Anthem. Great just what I want to play another multiplayer shooter game, like there isn't enough of those in the market already.

Im shocked, game had problems but it hasn't stopped Bioware before. Even DA2 got DLC and that game was imo worse than this. Heck i even enjoyed this game more than DA:I and that was getting the game of the year stamp from some sources ( i really didn't like that game). ME1 is forever gonna be my favorite Bioware game and one of the best games of all time for me. But its sad to see one of if not the, best franchise of whole last generation go down without a fight and everybody and their mother is happy about it. If i was EA i would have given at least 1 DLC pack for free. And then moved on from there if it was not well received.

Biowares best stuff is usually their DLC. And in ME2 and Inquisition it was used as good prequels to the sequel.

What a let down. Game left open a lot of open plots, even what happened and the reason of why they left.
They could of made a DLC about that alone.

was hoping for more DLC or maybe they should open it up to modders to add to the game.

EA should really take better care of the bioware brand. It's a name people used to really respect, but it has gotten really patchy lately. Like seriously, this is just the icing on the cake. RPGs are the kind of genre that needs some serious time in the oven, like 3 years min if you're not reusing assets or building straight on top of the previous game. It needs story revisions and lots of iteration, you can't just crack the whip and mass produce it like cod or coble it together at the last minute like happened with this fiasco.

This stuff is just straight up disappointing :(

You know its a slow day when Gamespot posts the same news that was posted a month ago.

Mass Effect Andromeda will be the last game i buy from Bioware,i don't trust that company anymore,i was really hoping for a DLC but they **** it up and now is Anthem i will not buy this game or any game that come from Bioware

good, now we can pretend it never existed and Bioware can release Mass Effect 4 in about 5 years' time.

Wow. Great job EAware. Way to take a crap in the chest of everyone that bought your broken game. Last but not least, FUCH the multiplayer.

TL:DR Version: They gave up trying to fix their own game they broke.

And.... it's official, EA has killed Bioware. There's no reason to trust the studio anymore. Why include plotholes and hooks in your game if you don't intend to fill them?

**** OFF EA.

They're only human after all don't put the blame on them.

lol.

The only true EA franchise: MONEY! Why would they support this game any longer when their yearly cash cow Madden and Battlefield are on the way. EA isn't making any more money on Andromeda anyway except maybe those buying it for $10 from a bargain bin. They destroyed this franchise due to greed because it was clearly rushed and they gave us a broken game. They do it with Battlefield all the time and promise to fix it later with patches. Typical EA practices. I will not put down a dime on Anthem until I see multiple reviews from honest sites that aren't getting paid off to praise a game that may be utter crap.

I thought that this was brought up over a month ago. Maybe I just remembered something that was a prelude to this.

Somebody is a bit butt-hurt over the reception to a sub-par video game, and said "Fine I'm taking my toys and going home!"

AAA game development is a beeeeeeeeyotch!

It's official: they ruined the decade-old Mass Effect franchise in one blow.

Who cares, what an abomination of a game anyway.

I FUCKING CALLED IT!!!!!

I knew this was going to happen, BW's main concern is Anthem now, NOT Mass Effect, and you know what? good riddance too, Andromeda was a complete piece of shit.

i couldn't even play through the tutorial it was so boring

Wish to GOD I never bought this bullshit. No more single player DLC or expansions!? I DON'T PLAY ONLINE GAMES YOU FUCKS!! I'M SO GOD DAMN SICK OF THIS PVP ONLINE FPS BULLSHIT!! EVERY GOD DAMN GAME HAS TO HAVE AN ONLINE PVP CAPTURE THE FLAG BULLSHIT!! IT'S THE SAME BORING GOD DAMN SHIT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! EVERY GOD DAMN GAME!!

So is this what we can expect from forced diversity hiring?

Welp, R.I.P Quarian Ark - rest in cheaper production costs.

Seriously though, it was probably the one thing that would make me return to Andromeda, at all. Even though it's obviously a spaceship loaded with reapers.

Hope they don't give up on this franchise like EA made happen to the Deadspace franchise after the lukewarm reception of 3.

I'm still holding on to hope for a new Deadspace reveal sometime in the near future.... Would love a new entry on current Gen.

Pathetic to say the least..

Did they actually do their research?

I know that in games like Total War, less than 5% of the player base plays multiplayer. I doubt it will be much different for a traditionally singleplayer franchise like Mass Effect. If any thing they should be focusing purely on updating single player.

Say what you will about No Man's Sky, but the devs at least try to fix their game to become what they said it would be. But EA and Bioware just throws in the towel after just a few months. Seems to me that they truly don't care about their games anymore, they just do it for money. I had hope they could fix a lot of the issues with either patches or some substantial DLC packs, well now I know it won't be a finished product. I am positive that they where planning on a Quarian Ark DLC but because of the failed launch, they scrapped it.

So glad I got rid of this game before playing it. What a joke.

We still have the original trilogy. F u andromeda

Patches can only do so much, and this game needed another year in development before it should have been considered for release. The true crime here is how the brand itself became tarnished by how bad the game actually is. This is like some new trend nowadays. First it was Diablo 3, now andromeda.

I just hope the necessary lessons have been learned from these disasters. Seriously, it's time to stop. If you know you can't deliver a sequel that holds up to the games that came before it, then don't. Just wait and do a remaster (that's what blizzard is apparently doing with their older titles now), but at least they're aware of the fact that they can't make good games anymore lmao. Do a remaster, or a new brand. But seriously stop ruining great games with horrifyingly bad sequels.
