Well fuck, I am also legit crushed. I was really looking forward to a new Mass Effect game, and I just like Bioware in general. This is really shitty news yall
Yeah agreed, there were still some decent story and character beats though. I find it annoying how people are blaming the death of BioWare on Veilguard when it wasn’t even a bad game, it was a decent game tarnished by development hell and poor marketing.
It'd certainly hurt more if I had any semblance of confidence left in their management. They announced and teased ME4 years and years ago with practically no update since then. It just pisses me off when companies announce a game that is clearly still in the infancy stages in a time where games can take a decade (if not longer) to develop. Then you had the complete anti-gamer game that was Veilguard.
I never had faith that a fulfilling continuation was going to happen. The original trilogy was the Mass Effect story. Any sequel or offshoot would have paled in comparison, in addition to cementing one of the end-game decisions of ME3 as canon. A prequel focused on the Protheans might have worked, but would have to forego all of the races already established, including humanity. A prequel based on the Krogan war could also likely be interesting, but would have an obvious, foregone conclusion which is the bane of so many prequels.

Sad day to be a Mass Effect fan
