CrowbCat - 5 Years + $40M = ME Andromeda
- Thread starter J 0 E
- Start date
Game development was 32 millions. It's the marketing that ended up costing more, and the 40 milion dollars figure for Mass Effect is also only including the development.

Shia Krogan is the best, those five years of development were well spent

Oh you do. You do. It flies by at the speed of incredulity.
That's mainly because wages aren't the same in Poland and in the Netherlands. In North America, Horizon ZD and Witcher 3 are probably 80+ million dollar projects.

The Shia part is pure gold.

Generally budgets for games are dev+marketing. I doubt they spent 50 million on W3's marketing though. I can't remember any big ad campaigns.

I think every dev so far has failed when using Frostbite for the first time.
I was about to say this is what happens when you force a team to use one particular engine, but then I remembered Bioware did the last Dragon Age game on Frostbite and it came out totally fine.To put it in perspective
This is the second time for Bioware! And it's worse than the first time.

Guys, $40, $80 million, it really doesn't matter. There are animators who did much much better jobs on varieties of different budgets. The fact is Mass Effect is considered one of EAs AAA franchises and they should've cared A LOT more. I've read about it's screwed up development and it really shows. Certain people simply did not care enough to polish this and make it look acceptable to gamers like us.

$40m and all of this shitstorm is worth it for Shia LaBeouf Krogan.
Bioware, you made something magical as a byproduct and you should be proud.

This game has actually given me a new appreciation for Fallout 4. I never thought that'd be possible.

Not. Even. On. Sale.
Not typical. The animation here is awkward and poorly done by any comparison and the written dialog and voicework is bad and doesn't hold a candle to previous Mass Effect games. The characters have historically been the best part of Bioware games and are usually what they excel at.
As for glitches, I think ME games have always been on the buggy side upon initial release but not to the extent we see here I don't believe. This appears to be quite a bit more broken.

Are we sure Bethesda didn't pillage BioWare and left their jank behind

Not only is the animation awful, but the voice actor they picked for the orange one is just so... wrong.
