Personally as a huge fan of original ME trilogy and that including ME3 I would prefer if they just let it go. And not only because I absolutely did not enjoy Andromeda (don't care about bugs as those potentially can be fixed) as the game was just a massive letdown.
You cant in my opinion compete with what original game has done as far as building massive following and passion in community. Also my trust in BW under the EA boot completely vanished at this point.
Same. The trilogy is done and the story is told. I feel any further post-Reaper attempt is like squeezing out a teabag that has been used already twice. MEA was OK in their linear story missions but the Open World attempt wasn't so good. Which isn't surprising since it copied DAI's formula when Walters stepped in to salvage the project. They took what had kinda worked before with a Mass Effect coat. Like in DAI the "Open World" just doesn't fly. I did like Elaaden, the desert planet quite a lot tho. Imo, the best in the game. In DAI was a good map too, most of it was some mediocre desert with spots of highlights but it had a nice mountain range. But the worst thing in these two games is the "platformer" maps and bloody unclimbable dunes - they just scream railroad! at you. Dear Lord I hated Eos and that terrible map in DAI with the bloody shard temple, Emprise ticked me off too, but at least the part after the bridge was nice.
They also have a way to push out broken stuff and somehow fix it half a year later when most players have already moved on. Particularly bad for their MP endeavours.
Hi. Devil's advocate here.
Putting the fact that MEA was quite enjoyable for me (I always try to see the best in games and overlook the flaws - it's a conscious choice that makes for a happier gaming), I'd never say "Don't even try"
Personally, MEA was the best (worst) example of a rushed and many times re-written flawed concept from the start that relied on an engine not suited for it. Those mistakes were on both BW's and EA's side.
But lately we've had a great example of EA trying something different - Jedi Fallen Order. If they're going to give BW the same level of creative freedom they gave Respawn and won't force them into Frostbite and stupid deadlines, then I say go for it.
I would LOVE to have another ME. With characters old or new, Reaper era, Andromeda era, or even something different like First Contact War, doesn't matter. I would play it and I would love it.
