the Crew - This was done a long while back on my own time, I wanted something to remember the team with. Despite the reception, I'm still very proud to have been able to work on the project.

I've played Mass Effect: Andromeda several times now and despite the negative reception it received, I believe it's a worthwhile game to own. The Mass Effect series is one of the most beloved game franchises of all time, in my opinion, and has some of the most loyal fans in gaming. With such high expectations it was hard to make a sequel to the original trilogy that would satisfy everyone. Mass Effect: Andromeda has flaws, I'm not going to lie, but it gave us a way to continue the series beyond the original trilogy and gave us a new experience in the process. It's sad the way the game was bludgeoned by critics, but there is still hope. Casey Hudson has stated that he would like for the series to continue, so there is a possibility for a sequel in the future. We may yet see "the Crew" again, so keep supporting Mass Effect and the people who bring it to life.
This Artwork is Great!--This was a very good game, and is well liked by a lot of people (those who didn't like it were vocal about it but oh well), I loved the game personally, I enjoyed all the characters, however Peebee (my personal #1 favorite), Vetra, Drack, Cora, and Lexi, were the characters I enjoyed interacting with and using as part of my squad the most. Like I said I absolutely loved the game and blame the lack of a follow-up or continuation on the people who run EA who are insanely greedy (seriously this game sold like over 3 million copies once you include digital sales and is ranked the 9th or 10th highest selling game of the year according to some reports) so there should have been an expansion on this games content as a lot of people would have purchased it. But in the end I will love and replay the game in the future for sure.

ME:A was a weird experience for me. I enjoyed it overall and think it was way too harshly criticized, but you can also see that the writing ended up almost entirely made out of tropes. I think they should've kept the series going and expanded on all the characters. There is so much potential in all of it.

That's the unfortunate fate of most sequels: fans are so convinced that the originals can't be beaten that they won't give the new material a chance, or will always compare the new with the old and not treat it like its own thing. The same happened to most works of fiction that tried to expand on a previous work's foundation (just look at Star Wars or even Avatar), where the fans are too afraid to get out of the comfort zone the original work created to really allow the new material to flourish.
For the record, I haven't played Andromeda yet (blame that on my weak-a$$ laptop) and therefore haven't made my opinion of it, but I think what I described here applies to Andromeda's case.
