Kotaku writes: I learned to love it for what it is, not what I wanted it to be. When Mass Effect Andromeda first released nearly two years ago, I was pretty hard on it. The original Mass Effect trilogy is one of my favourite game series of all time, and a lot of what I loved about those games just didn't seem to be present in Bioware's ambitiously sprawling open world sequel.
Epic Games is facing a $1.2 million fine by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets over "unfair practices" in the Fortnite shop.
It might be cheaper to simply pay the fine. Fighting said fine could cost millions due to court and lawyer fees. Fortnite generates well over a 100 million in each month, so Epic has plenty of cash.
But if they did pay it, then they are basically admitting that they did something they weren’t supposed to be doing. If they fight it, they may win and continue to have a sense of urgency for their micro transactions thus making more money long term.
Nexon has released its financial statement for 2024's first quarter, and it looks like FPS The Finals isn't proving the hit the studio was hoping for.
The market for games like this is too over saturated to make a dent in other established games' player counts. Trying to start all over with a whole new multiplayer meta and grinding to get better is not feasible when there's already a ton of similar games that have come out before it.
Wccftech interviewed Nathan Yu from Inworld AI to discuss the dynamic NPC tech's applications to games as well as potential issues like costs.
i think this argument in the headline is wrong on every conceivanle level.
Yeah whatever... so you say... but in any case you conveniently call it Andromeda, and not what the game's name really is "Mass Effect: Andromeda"
Even without the ME name it was a rushed disappointment. Even the devs dropped support for it. Glad I skipped it and stuck with the trilogy
But...its called..."Mass Effect: Andromeda".
These are truly the New Dark Ages. An era of "Alternative Facts", willful stupidity, and not admitting to mistakes as they are continually made that may very well mark humanity's height and end.
We're generally F**ked is what I'm saying.
No, it was pretty awful by any standards. I’m no stranger to liking bad games either. I played through bound by flame a couple times lol. It was a good budget game, I expected bad voice acting and such. I didn’t expect andromeda to be so awful and even pretending that it’s something else can’t change my mind. It’s bad even on a budget level.
