Mass Effect Andromeda Goes Free On EAs Subscription Service

Are you an EA super-fan that for one reason or another decided to avoid playing Mass Effect: Andromeda? Wow, thats kinda weird. But youre in luck, because the publisher have thrown the latest instalment of the epic space opera RPG up onto their PC and Xbox One subscription services, EA and Origin Access. Also, they fixed the character faces so that probably means everything is better than it was at launch, probably. You tell me.

It wasn't even a bad take before launch, just some wonky animations

Post patches, it's a pretty decent game overall.

People expected something better than decent considering the ME trilogy was critically acclaimed. It got the reception it deserved.

Tbf, ME1 was "decent" as was ME3

The only objectively good Mass Effect game was 2

So ME:A being decent shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, and nobody should have really expected anything more

Yeah, just like Battlefield 1, which was available on Access 10 months after its release. What a catastrophe that game was.

Nope. Mass Effect 1 was the best game in the series, and Mass Effect 2 was a great, but not superior, followup. Mass Effect 3 was weak, but had its moments so it was overall mediocre.

Andromeda was total fucking garbage though. I paid $20 for the game less than 3 months after it came out and I still feel like I got ripped off.

ME1 had awful mechanics

The only objectively good game out of the trilogy was ME2

ME: A was only "garbage" because of the animations.

Like I told Darmik, that's your opinion and it's bad.

It had its issues, but most of the mechanics were fine to me. It was more of a real RPG compared to the rest of series, didn't rely on universal ammo for weapons, had a much better plot and characters, had actual exploration of planets, and was just more interesting overall.

Right. The weak choice for crew members, the awful dialogue, the extremely hit or miss voice acting, the annoying scanning mechanic, the dumb plot about activating ancient structures on planets to magically make them more habitable, etc. Those were all just fine. It was only the animations that made it garbage.

It got a 72% on Metacritic. No idea why people think that's unfair.

Games like that make additional money from season passes and map packs.

Andromeda is primarily a single player game.

Yep. The animations were no where near the biggest problem.

The game is about exploring a new galaxy and every single planet has the same damn structure. There is no surprise in the game at all. That's awful for a sci-fi RPG.

I never said it didn't. I said it's primarily a single player game.

Considering support for this game has been killed off I doubt it was making much money from the multi.

Ayyyy finally. I'll play for free. Loved the trilogy. Although after playing the 3, ME1 is easily the worst >.> Not fun to play for me, 2 And 3 are great. Luckily the story carries the first game.

It's actually pretty normal for EA Access. Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 are already up. A little less time, but they time it up for when they stop selling copies. The PS4 is like $14 on Amazon right now

Yeah looking it up it looks like Dragon Age got put on EA Access around 10 months after release too. It felt so much longer back then for some reason lol. Maybe because the service was still new then.
