First of all, they could have made it free DLC. Yes, DLC can be free. Many companies do it and somehow manage to stay in business. And between the AAA price tag, the season pass, the microtransaction lootcrates and the sponsorship deals, MAYBE they could have eaten the "loss" and tossed this one...

Because I don't really care about multiplayer-focused shooters. I understand that the campaign is alright, but I need more than "alright" to give a fuck. And I have no intention of diving into multiplayer, so that aspect of the game is useless to me.

Its core gameplay is Hearthstone, but with a few minor changes, the most prominent one being that the board is split vertically into two sections and the creatures on either side can't interact with each other (unless specified by card text), which adds an extra tactical layer to the game. The...

Wouldn't it be possible to remove the "expired" music and put out a new version of the game without it?

I'm trying to be optimistic, but I'm not overly excited by anything I've seen thus far. Only three factions, when initial releases of previous games all featured four isn't a great sign, particularly when they pick only the boring ones. Seriously, Orcs? Again? I get Space Marines, they are the...

"Groot will Groot that..." Seriously, though, that looks reasonably interesting. I just about gave up on Telltale after the Batman game and the last season of Walking Dead, as well as their refusal to do more Wolf Among Us. I might actually give this a go. Once the whole thing's out, of...

Wait, WHAT? That's pretty much the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Seriously, what? That HAS to be a mistake or a mixup of some kind. And if it's not, I'm feeling really good about my decision to drop WoW two months into Legion...

1. The services were overpriced to begin with. Seriously, the price of a brand new AAA game gets you a few quick database changes. There's not much in the way of cost to Blizzard, the only reason these cost as much as they do is because Blizz says so. These services shouldn't be free, I agree on...

While I agree that this probably reflects poor initial sales performance, I doubt this is a death knell for Bioware. Mainly because this is the work of their B-team. Basically, this was done by the studio that did the ME3 multiplayer (arguably the best bit of ME3). The team was increased in size...

The specific sub-niche that ME:A fills is indeed a bit empty, so if that specific combination of themes and genres is an itch that you just have to scratch, Andromeda would be your best bet, I'll grant that. As for it being worse than dedicated games, I'm going to have to disagree. ME1 was a...

Genre as in either RPG (and it's a pretty bad RPG, by most accounts) or Third Person Shooter (in which case it's solid, but unspectacular). If you think the game is exactly what you want, go for it, have fun. I'm guessing that you and I have somewhat different tastes, seeing as how you rate...

No, I will not, at least not anytime soon. Having read a number of articles from various sources, both positive and negative, I feel I've gotten a reasonably decent picture of what the game is like and what I could get out of it. It boils down to it being a solid space opera shooter, with...

So, if I dislike Andromeda, I'm simultaneously a racist, homophobic alt-right manchild AND a regressive ultra-left SJW cuck, depending on who I talk to? And if I like it, the same thing? Gotcha!

If you say so, friend.

Wow, it's almost like you're not allowed to like a game nowadays, at least unless it's a game that's been sanctioned for mandatory hating. Let me ask you this, have you never disliked a popular game? A game that tons of people adore? Maybe not even disliked it (as Jim didn't dislike BotW)...
