10 Video Games That Mocked You For Buying The Sequel
10. Mass Effect: Andromeda
Creating another Mass Effect game was always going to be risky. Still, that didn't stop BioWare from saying, "hold my beer," as they crammed out a cash grab from their beloved IP. How did it go? Well, besides being a broken and buggy mess, Andromeda also spat in the face of ME fans with its lack of concern for series canon.
So, overall, not great.
There are many ways that this prequel game screwed up the series' continuity. For example, the timeline regarding the genophage was unnecessarily convoluted, with Andromeda scientists seeking to cure a Krogan at a time when the infamous biological weapon was still actively enforced by the Salarians.
Additionally, there's also plenty of technological confusion. How is it that humanity was able to create the ODSY engine - which rivals the intergalactic traversal tech from the trilogy - only twenty years after achieving space travel? It just doesn't make sense, which goes for many of the lore mishaps in this game.
