When the release date originally moved last year they let people cancel their pre-orders then as well. The only "bad" thing was the pre-order only copy of the original game they were giving out was taken away as well.

Negative, Ghost Rider. This teaser is pretty great.

@yesiamaduck @buffaloseven: lol I own a Switch, thank you. Again, its a case of "I really hope you'd get this right" opposed to a modern marvel of gaming. Ps4, Vita, and 3ds have pretty amazing suspend play features.

Suspended play has been around since launch on ps4 and other handhelds before that. Less a win for Nintendo and more, "Grats on not screwing THAT up to too."

@deathstriker: So far the combat for me is even a step back since they removed so many options from before and only add two things from COD Advanced Warfare. I just played a round of ME3 mp and then MEA mp...and ME3 is way more fun and controls way better to me.

@sackmanjones: I just remember the cool moments from ME1 with characters I loved and talked about during and after my playthrough of that game. Being a several hours into ME:A I can say that none of these characters, including "my" Ryder really means anything to me.

@lawgamer My character model has disappeared in cutscenes several times and I've had audio cutout in what feels about 1/4 of the dialogue.

@deathstriker People put things they like on a pedestal...doesn't mean they are misremembering things about them. The thing is each entry in the Mass Effect series was flawed in some way, just like every game is. I love Horizon Zero Dawn and even that game is flawed. However, its what the strong things do in that game to overshadow the flaws. Many of us aren't find anything strong in the game to make up for those flaws. In ME1 the story, characters, dialogue, and tone made up for the combat, inventory, and "exploration" flaws. In ME2 the combat improved, yada, yada. I'm the same way. If a game has so much great stuff it helps me ignore or forget about the flaws, like in Witcher 3, then its not a big deal. Problem is so many of us are not getting that in Mass Effect then you add on top of that the fact the trilogy was so revered and important to people that it makes it even worse. When a core Mario game disappoints its far more "devastating" than if a random, licensed Activision game disappoints. Some things just carry more weight with the fanbase.

@sackmanjones: I completely disagree about Liara and Garrus from ME1.

@ntm When you can't even tell your squadmates what to do (outside of move) how can you say the combat is actually better than the previous games?

Drop everything and play Persona 5.

I had a subscription to EGM for like 15-20 years. I even had them all until I recycled them. I kind of wish I had saved some of those issues such as the Dreamcast "reveal" issue, etc.

I was never actually mad but I do think the writing was terrible. I always thought the universe of Mass Effect was something that would grow and expand because it had so much potential. Then they go and write implausible and crap endings.
