I used to associate Bioware with quality writing. Now i associate Bioware with top scars. My expectations for the next entry is that the cyborg Andrew Wilson won't allow em to release another virtue signaling shitshow, so i am not expecting the next Mass Effect to be woke, but when it comes to writing and gameplay, it will be as shitty as Andromeda, because they have no talent to produce a quality game, so no matter how hard they try, they can't achieve anything. Game will sell poorly, laughed out of the room, and this will be the last game made by Bioware, because the studio will be shut ~9 months after. It is what is.

We have Larian, so everything will be fine.

 

[KyoZz]

I have none. Bioware has proven on several occasions that they are incapable of making a good game anymore.

I think The Expanse: Osiris Reborn can be a far better ME than ME5. Larian is top tier, but Owlcat is entering the big leagues too.

 

[SJRB]

Bioware, lmao. That place is a joke.

 

[LordOfChaos]

 

[TintoConCasera]

lmao

Pretty much this.

Honeslty I believe the best outcome for that game would be to never be released.

 

[Nydius]

My expectations are, to quote a Type O Negative song title, less than zero.

The talent that created and nurtured the original games are long gone. All that's left is a husk of a studio chasing trends and "modern audience" nonsense to try and remain relevant. Frankly I wish they'd just pull the plug on it and not taint the legacy of the original trilogy with modern AAA slop. It took them years and an original trilogy remaster to get rid of the stink of Andromeda.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

expectations are low, but I hope they deliver

 

[TheMule1983]

It will never release and BioWare will be shuttered.

 

[Magik85]

My hope is that its gonna be at least half as good as origunal trilogy.
However i expect it to be pretty much a crap

 

[MayauMiao]

No expectations because the old Bioware is dead. We now have a "new" Bioware trying to copy past success, headed by people who probably have severe gender identity crisis.

 

[Mayar]

Of course I want to believe in the best, but after their previous games, I'm already mentally preparing myself for this...

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

expectations are low, but I hope they deliver

How? It's no different than asking Bungie to create a quality Halo game in 2025.

 

[Luipadre]

It will never come out so nothing

This one is probably gonna be great so im looking forward to this instead

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

supposedly Bioware brought in the Mass Effect team to help on Veilguard, and they were responsible for the best parts of the game (including the ending sequence which is supposed to be pretty good).

So that gives me a tiny sliver of hope at least.

 

[ReBurn]

Never been lower after the last Dragon Age game.

 

[Sintoid]

To be delayed and cancelled

 

[Golgo 13]

If it does come out, I think the woke elements will be toned down due to Dragon Age: Vielguards backlash, but it won't be enough to save the studio because all of the real talent left Bioware 15+ years ago.

Bioware is done for.

That is what they want you to think. I even see that team posting on twitter about how wrong the DA team was for not focusing on what made DA:O so great. They will do everything in the next few years to give you an illusion of them understanding what people want from the next Mass Effect game. But you have to remember whom worked on Anthem and Andromeda, so if they're still giving you a sliver of hope, you need to extinguish it before it's too late.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

It's 100% going to be trash. Or as "journalists" call it - a return to form.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Very little expectations sadly. My favourite IP but the way the gaming climate is these days I can't get hyped for it.

 

[Connificent]

Disaster

 

[Ristifer]

How? It's no different than asking Bungie to create a quality Halo game in 2025.

So, you just started a thread to have everyone say "zero expectations" and that's it?

 

[RetroGamingUK]

It's not the 00s anymore

BioWare are trash

Mass Effect is trash

 

[Grildon Tundy]

They can only hope to chase the ghost of the original trilogy.

 

[Gonzito]

I have no hope or expectations because Bioware won't deliver a good Mass Effect or a even a good game in general

They are dead

 

[Ulysses 31]

 

[Ben87fr]

Who gives a shit at this point...

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

So, you just started a thread to have everyone say "zero expectations" and that's it?

Absolutely.

 

[adamsapple]

For it to hopefully release one day.

 

[Jesb]

Don't expect it to be released.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

I think at this point we should just have low expectations from any major publisher/studios. It's endless trash at this point.
Incase of bioware less than zero.

 

[yet_another_alt]

I have none. Bioware has proven on several occasions that they are incapable of making a good game anymore.

I think The Expanse: Osiris Reborn can be a far better ME than ME5. Larian is top tier, but Owlcat is entering the big leagues too.

This. I don't think Bioware can do anything right at this point. My hopes are on Owlcat.

 

[seething left]

Cancelled by Microsoft.

 

[RickMasters]

I've honestly lost all faith in BioWare. I expect nothing. I skipped the new dragon age game. Andromeda was a boring Mass effect game.



I almost don't want to witness how bad they are going ruin My beloved mass effect series.

 

[Chuck Berry]

My face is too tired to discuss anything regarding a new Mass Effect

 

[paolo11]

If they keep on applying forced woke stuff, might as well not make the game . Also can they really top the Mass Effect trilogy?

 

[Fbh]

I think it will be better than Veilguard, but I don't have high hopes for it
The recent reporting on Veilguard made it seem like the Mass Effect team is more competent, and they do have Mary DeMarle who had senior narrative roles in Guardians of the Galaxy and the newer Deus Ex games, both of which I liked.

But I also think desperately trying to tie it closer to the OG trilogy won't work (just like most forced sequels), and I don't think it will be able to fully escape the "woke" and lame trappings of current western media .

 

[Poppinfresh]

To be delayed and cancelled

This.

My expectation is that it will never be released.

 

[calico]

They couldn't make a better Mass Effect, only a different one.

 

[emivita]

This is exactly my face when I do a painful fart.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

One one hand I want to believe them. One of the ME guys said last year the next game will darker and grittier vs Andromeda.

Then again, I'll decide on my own when I see the game and reviews.

Worst gif ever for a game. Whomever at Bioware made a character looking like that should had been fired asap.

 

[samoilaaa]

 

[Deerock71]

I have 0 expectations.

 

[T4keD0wN]

 

[Trogdor1123]

Nothing right now. I'm not even in hope for the best but prepare for the worst territory.

 

[samoilaaa]

It will never come out so nothing

This one is probably gonna be great so im looking forward to this instead

im very curious to see if they can pull it off , going from crpg to 3rd person action rpg will be challenging

 

[Windle Poons]

Expectations? Slim to none.

You can't be choosing to wipe races out (fictional or not) in this day and age.

 

[Arsic]

It'll be cheeks.

 

[Hero_Select]

Mass Effect is my fav. franchise after Zelda.

I want it to be good, I hope it is good. Please.

 

[SamuraiEdge]

Wishing for a miracle at this point lol.
