Corden made the claim in the latest edition of his podcast, The Xbox Two Podcast, in a broader conversation about the pros of established studios sticking to the development blueprint that made their games so special versus the cons of taking risks and innovating, only for it to instantly crash and burn.
Reflecting on Bethesda’s success with Starfield and its recycling of so many of the things we’ve come to expect from the team’s internal development studios, Corden’s thoughts turned to Mass Effect, which had phenomenal success with its first three games (Mass Effect 3’s controversial ending aside), but struggled to make a similar impact with follow-up Andromeda. And that’s when he made the revelation.
“I’ve heard that Mass Effect is ditching open world,” Corden said, “and going back to its classic format. I don’t know if that’s accurate, 100 per cent, but it’s an industry rumour.”
Maybe in the minority here, but I like Andromeda. I like the open world aspect, the combat is fun, interesting story.
It was a good game, but paled in comparison to the original trilogy
Same here. It’s not because the trilogy before was a 9/10, that Andromeda was garbo just because it was a 7 or 8/10
I liked the game, however, I fucking hate sudoku.
Oh, I love sudoku too. I’ve got like 500 games done on the app I’m using right now.
I was referring to space sudoku.
I know. It’s pretty much the same thing as regular sudoku. I gave the different symbols names to make them easier to do.
