The first three games were great... until the non flexible cinematic ending... The next game should have been an investigation into this enigmatic force and how to beat/defeat them... but meh. I'm still down for another game in that universe.

Completely agree.

Nothing would make me happier at this point than ME4/5/whatever getting cancelled and Bioware getting closed down and stripped for parts.

The ME Trilogy is a flawed masterpiece.

Andromeda had the good sense to go to another galaxy, but ME4 is going to crack open the trilogy and make it retroactively worse with whatever **** tier writing passes muster at Bioware these days.

Bioware has not released a good game in over 10 years at this point (Inquisition being their last really *good* game and even that was deeply flawed).

I'd rather get a soft reboot MEA2 than a ME4, less emotional investment in the outcome there and it is wholey a product of NuWare.

As far as I'm concerned the trilogy never concluded and the indoctrination theory is canon.

Nothing would make me happier at this point than ME4/5/whatever getting cancelled and Bioware getting closed down and stripped for parts.

After seeing what veilguard was this is my sentiment too. Except the parts should be scattered and thrown into active volcanoes never to be found again.

Krogan Civil War, a teaser image suggests potential story point for ME5.

New Mass Effect 5 Artwork Reveals Krogan Civil War - IGN

Mass Effect fans have uncovered fresh artwork teasing the franchise's next game, which will feature the krogan race in the middle of a civil war.

I've also read about rumors that multiple projects are in development, ranging from remakes to new games.

 

[MadMummy76]

I'm already less excited. I hope the artwork is just for the codex referencing the Krogan rebellions because I'm really not interested in a krogan focused story, even less so in a prequel.

And throwing everything at the wall instead of making one good game? whose bright idea was that?

EA AI overrlords.

EA AI overrlords.

I mean lets be real. IF AI was let loose here the game would be 1 main protagonist. With 80's era box art sexified characters everywhere. And we would all probably at least try a demo. Plot is great, story is great... but sex sells.

That's all it would do. I mean I tried Stellar Blade demo too, but it was very simplistic and generic hack and slash making even ME: Andromeda look like a masterpiece.
