This means Vorcha are coming. Which means Quarians and Drell and Volus are coming. Which means the Geth are probably in (Batarians literally the least likely race to be in Andromeda behind Protheans).
We are likely to see Hanar Biotic classes at this rate.
Are the Batarians the villains in the Quarian Ark DLC??? Hmmm.....

For all you fucking faggots whining about DLC and shit, the DLC IS FUCKING COMING LATER THIS FALL, this right here is the REAL DEAL rundown on what is happening:
Andromeda is undergoing 5 month "polish" cycle. The polish time was offered to Bioware prior to release but both parties decided launching Mass effect next to Destiny was a very bad idea for the brand. They opted to release "early" and do the 5 month polish cycle post-release. After this point, DLC will begin to release to help counter Destiny 2's DLC cycle. The game is meant to soft compete with Destiny 2 as a means to diminish and prevent Destiny being seen as "the" sci-fi series. D2 projected by EA to sell half, at max, of the first title based on player interest and community trends.
The whole point of this is to get interest back by viralling Andromeda as a "fixed" title and keeping the community for the long haul. ANTHEM is not meant to replace Mass Effect, it is meant to destroy Destiny, like Rock Band v Guitar hero. And just like many times before, Activision has already fucked the Destiny franchise and cleaved the audience in two. That audience will embrace ANTHEM despite Activisions "viral marketing" sabotage aga9inst EA properties.
who cares bro, Andromeda won't get back on it's feet never ever

>5 month polish cycle no one gives a shit, the damage is done. what a great fucking plan. who knew releasing a shit game would kill the franchise. get fucked.
Juan Rivera
>Multiplayer DLC
Yawn

The game isn't shit, redditor. It's better than Fallout 4 ever was, and you probably sucked that faggot ass game off for months.
Jordan Watson

I wasn't complaining about 5 months for dlc you fucking retard. I'm calling out the bullshit of releasing a shit unpolished game and then using 5 months to polish it, while fucking over all those who bought the game at launch. keep sucking off bioware tho you fucking cuck
Brandon Jenkins
as someone who put like 500 hours in ME3 mp and like 60 into andromeda mp, andromeda is shit
the mp classes mostly have boring, terrible, or samey power setups and most of the guns, even after the buffs, are shit. the factions are lame as hell too
Cooper Butler
too late. i've already uninstalled after getting all the trophies and a bit of multiplayer. too many games in the backlog and upcoming new games to play
David Butler
Rock and a hard place. They launch the game "late" and next to Destiny and hundreds of millions in advertising and they might just end up Titanfalled. Nobody expected Titanfall 2 to flip as it did, and this is one of the reasons Andromeda had to launch "early", it launched within the last fiscal year and EA has to report to its shareholders. They get fucked hard and lose billions of shareholder confidence decreases after lowered earnings.
The reason bioware is not commenting is because it basically would be an admission that this polish cycle was planned and that the game quality was sacrificed in one way or another. But when they announce the upcoming DLC cycle they hope the hub bub has died down and they can move past it.

Everything in ME3 will be in Andromeda, minus the hellish RNG from ME3 and ridiculous playtime required for N7 weapons.

Owen Foster
>Mass Effect franchise died for Anthem
Austin Ramirez
>shit game But it isn't. If this were Miyamoto delaying a fucking game for 10 years you'd be sucking them off. The game is being polished and then DLC is being fucking made, and marketing money for a redeemed Andromeda will be released by EA.
The other side of this coin is that we get a fucking disgrace like Metal Gear Solid V which will never be better and never make any fucking sense.
Stop fucking crying about DLC and "bad business practices". EA is at least trying to fix the game, Hollywood shits out a bad movie or TV show and we all wonder what could have been instead of calling them greedy, lazy kikes. But Bioware releases software they can modify and improve over time and we bitch about how they are kikes and the industry is ruined. Grow up, you fucking faggots.
Were the Asari intentionally made ugly or were bioware just too lazy to have multiple asari models?
Nathan Thomas
intentionally ugly they made all the females uglier than their original designs on purpose
Brandon Adams
>b b b but nintendo >b b b but metal gear neither of those excuse andromeda being shit
Jack Jackson
The Batarians followed/stowed away on the Quarian Ark obviously, hence the distress call at the end of the game.
Isaac Adams
This is fucking pathetic, OP.
William Jackson
I didn't like Fallout 4 either you stupid fuck. 5 months of DLC isn't the problem. It's just more shit they're going to add. The problem is that they released a broken, unfinished game ON PURPOSE so they could pull some marketing gimmick of fixing it up and overhauling it later with additional patches alongside the DLC.
Ian Jackson
I hope Anthem fails. It's what EA/Bioware deserve for turning their backs on their fanbase in pursuit of MMOFPS loot shekels.
Kayden Kelly
Dunno, they made the Salarians and Krogan into monogendered societies as well, as if a female Krogan or Salarian would give up their insane cultural status in order to die in a ditch somewhere.
Nathan White
can`t wait
Lucas Young
They had to either release or cancel the game. There were no other options with regard to financing from a shareholder perspective. This is also why money is being held for another quarter for marketing.
Titanfall 2 ultimately caused the situation, but that retarded fucking idiot who was running Andromeda following some Spiderman games he did wasted years.
Mason Harris
>This wall of text for a fucking lame MP DLC kek Fuck off BioWare
Owen Sanchez
Unless they're going full CDP and release a proper Enhanced Edition(overhauling everything from the UI, to the story, writing, dialogue, choices, performance, cut scenes and character animations) free of charge effectively re-releasing the game under a different title the game will forever be tainted by it's fucked up development and release.
Cameron Baker
>all of that text >for a game that nobody cares about that bombed so hard that even normies know it's shit GB2 Reddit
Mason Myers
That text wall explains when the SP DLC is coming.
Tyler Kelly
> Public companies literally do not just answer to you.
Good for them. The game bombed hard and everyone thinks it's shit. That user is just stating facts. Dead game.
Nathan Young
Wow, that's REALY COOL
I can't believe EA and Bioware managed to redeem themselves!
Juan Jenkins
Will it fix the boring ass open worlds? It took forever to do anything in Andromeda because the open worlds were so awful and dead. I just want to shoot things & talk to characters, but it took me 15 minutes to get to the next thing I actually wanted to do.
I loved the Mass Effect trilogy (even 3), but couldn't stand to beat Andromeda. I sold it last week. Awful fucking game. It felt like a chore to play.
Nathaniel Martin
>bombed hard >normies know about it
user this thread is not actually about Titanfall 2 despite it being mentioned several times.
From what I understand, they are adding full squadmate control like in the original trilogy, so you can line up crazy combos and such. Such an addition is big enough that they probably will not miss the chance to rebrand like they did with "the director's cut" of Mass Effect 3. But I do not know exactly what they are doing with marketing or gameplay.
Jason Allen
All I read there is desperate wishful thinking
Lincoln Morales
Mass effect is shit outside of the first one, which had awful gameplay but was at least a decent rpg
Kevin Myers
>From what I understand Link to the official announcement?
Chase Campbell
It sold about 5 times as much as Deus Ex did. It is in no way dead.
Deus Ex, now that was a tragedy for the gaming industry. mass Effect made it out despite neckbeards, no-lifers and YT memers pretending they played the game and parroting nonsense.
Dominic Murphy
Hopefully its free because there is no way I'm giving this shit company any more money.
Chase Sanchez
You can fast travel. Well wait, you personally can't fast travel because you can't actually read and therefore you miss key gameplay features.
Samuel Turner
You can, in fact, polish a turn
Easton Cook
>all that shilling in the 3/4th of OP Why did you sabotaged your own thread, dude?
Nolan Ortiz
You have to discover the Fast Travel points yourself. I don't want to spend time in those lifeless worlds.
Isaac Barnes
The game is a laughing stock with people only knowing about in relation to it being shit. Point me towards one person talking good of it that isn't you.
Dylan Fisher
>They had to either release or cancel the game. You fohkin WOT m8? In what world was it coming down to this? What evidence even suggests this was the case? They just didn't want to wait because they wanted that money NOW. It was never a choice of releasing it broken or not releasing it at all.
Thomas Turner
>there are actual bioware shills in this thread amazing
Kayden Jenkins
>it's not shit because this other shit game exists You sound pretty pathetic. The game was universally panned. Nobody defended it.
Carson Adams
You do understand that Andromeda isn't getting any expansions or SP DLC right? Why aren't these type of blatantly shill threads banned on the spot mods? Are the 5 of you faggots that browse this site even care anymore
Aiden Gutierrez
>announcement I already told you in this very thread why there is no announcement about the "polish" cycle. They do not want to feed the YT memers and parasite class more ammo to attack their brands on Social Media. They will just continue to update the game until it has massive changes (Spetember) and then announce the DLC cycle to ride the wave of good will the parasites and memers will post on their worthless channels. The memers will believe that they "spoke" and that Bioware "listened" even though this entire process was planned before release. This will amount (along with a marketing push) to a rebrand and redemption of Andromeda and will be used to diminish Destiny as a valid Sci Fi Universe. Star wars stands alone as a Universe but it will be used to diminish Destiny as well.
Destiny 2 is expected to sell half of the first title at maximum.
Joseph Bailey
I liked 2 & 3 expect for the ending from 3

>in this much denial when nobody supported the game I hope you know that shitposting is a bannable offense

Wow that sounds familiar. You memers really got me there! >Trump is a laughing stock! >nobody likes him! >everyone in the world is going to take up arms against him!!!!! >show me one who isn't!!!
Ethan Nguyen
So this whole thread is nothing but some autistic faggots going apeshit about some fucking update to their shitty horde mode MP? Fuck off back to your circle jerking containment thread on /vg/ or leddit.
Easton King
Cancelling the game was never an option. That was my point. They had to release right away because of the Fiscal year ending. Mass Effect launches and injects quarterly earnings.
>memers were in agreement!!! Do you ever talk to people anywhere but Twitter or what?
Liam Hill
>I have no evidence but I'm still right because I say so I hope for your sake that this is just ironic shitposting.
Jace Martin
But it literally is receiving DLC. After the polish cycle. I have firsthand knowledge. Well, secondhand knowledge.
Isaac Reyes
No irony. I cannot post proof, it is my job to come here to corrall you fucking faggots. But I literally cannot post proof because that LITERALLY provides ammos for memers to claim Bioware "scammed" them because the game released "early" even though these same fucking memers play early access trash all the time.
Henry Lee
So you're telling me they also """planned""" to shutter Bioware Montreal?
Yeah, no, fuck off shill.
Aaron Morgan
Who the fuck cares?
Jose Parker
> Tfw nobody gives a shit about this pile of trash. > And no amount of shilling can change it.
Leo Adams
>I cannot post proof but I DEFINITELY have some >I'm fighting a war against the "memers" this is serious Thanks for the laugh. Ironic shitposting is still bannable though.
Oliver Clark
Can you read? Bioware Montreal was ALWAYS a support studio. The support has been moved to work on ANTHEM because they want to crunch.
Most of the DLC (maps, etc) were completed during the 5 year dev cycle. You will see the status of a number of these "shuttered studios" change drastically in a few months.
Basically, you got kiked by kotaku per usual, who are peddling tabloid nonsense to cater to "angry memers". Everyone involved is under NDA and the entire studio (which had a hiring rush for crunch) is not needed to atch together mostly completed DLC.
Perhaps you have another Kiketaku conspiracy explaining why Mass Effect VAs have recently been back in the studio? For what? A shuttered game? A dead franchise?
Stop reading kike drivel.
Xavier Ortiz
everyone is sick of this game they should stop and let everyone pretend that the series ended with 3 des.u
Levi Carter
Individual posts become news stories in the new age of parasite media.
And so, I am telling you the TRUTH and mixing racism and swearing into my posts to throw parasite media into denial.
Only the hardcore will ever read these posts. That is why I am here. Not for YT cliqz or siqq retweetz.
Connor Martin
I am genuinely astonished how much like a paid employee you sound, OP Literally NOBODY is hyped here for anything Bioware ever again. Ever.
Aaron Cruz
Not even going to read your shill post.
Just fuck off, will you?
Gavin Bennett
>it's a conspiracy years in the making >nobody can talk about it because NDA >so all we have are speculations that are all true >muh 5D chess No, fuck off cunt. You're just as bad as the "MGS 5 Chapter 3 is coming!!11" faggots.
Liam Turner
>years in the making Titanfall 2 was less than a year ago.
Kiketaku even reported on how many "scrapped" planets there were. Those "scrapped" locations are for DLC. The DLC is to be launched with a rebranding of the game. This plan was hatched in early 2017 around the time the "open beta" of Andromeda was cancelled.
Try to keep up, thirdworlder.
Jacob Howard
> NEW DLC coming! > It will be awesome I promise. > Buy my game plz.
Mason Ross
This reads exactly like a stereotypical shill post, go back to bioware.
Mason Anderson
Yup, delusional retard who can't deal with the fact that is just shit and move on.
Owen Edwards
It's not a full shill since I am r(being paid) to release currently NDA'd info (polish cycle, reason for bioware silence) to hardcores and wrapping it with unseemly and anti-corporate language.
Ayden Hernandez
At this point I can't even tell if this is a troll, a shill, or just some poor tasteless soul
Justin Jackson
Cool. Will the upcoming DLC make sure to lecture players on their use of gender pronouns?
Asher Richardson
>calls everyone hating a redditor >he thinks people like fallout 4 even on Sup Forums spot the newfag.
Benjamin Myers
Pretty much this, multi is dead on this game anyway.
Benjamin Garcia
So you're still a shill, leave.
Joshua Garcia
>multi is dead Are you playing on Litterbox One? PS4 is bumping 24/7. PS3 even has an unbroken ME3 community that never stopped. I was amazed when I found that out. Games on Litterbox die after 6 months or so.
Joshua Taylor
They really rammed diversity down your throat in Andromeda. Just about anywhere you go, a woman or minority is the boss. I still remember crawling all over the Nexus to find a single straight, white male. It's not seeing minorities in leadership roles in fiction that annoys me, it's that it was clearly only to virtue signal. Like that one Turian who just spits out that he's gay when you ask him where the hell his pathfinder is.
Jordan Hughes
Peebee was made intentionally ugly, and all the other asari were given basically the same face
Lucas Long

The first one flopped, why would the second be any different?

Absolutely cancerous. Fuck this, I'm not even going to pirate it.
Chase Nguyen
I like how they made one alien who was obviously straight, bi because fags kept screaming. Because ya know, fixing the game is not important, appeasing fags that wont play your game is.
Alexander Gutierrez
That batarian looks fucking abysmal

Julian Richardson
>record a couple extra lines and copy the animations >redesign a games hardcoded features and mechanics in addition to the VO and models The former takes 1 week and 5-10k dollars and will make the fags shut up, the latter takes months of crunch will make nobody shut up.
