Mass Effect - 5 years + $40M = Mass Effect Andromeda

By the way, for comparison:

Half Life 2 started development 1999 with est. budget of 40 million.
2004 they release possibly one of the best and most memorable modern games yet.

Mass Effect Andromeda started development 2012 with the same est. budget of 40 million.
2017 they release this.

Not only did BioWare have the same resources at making a game they also had about eight years of tech advantage.

And people defend this shit because "the bugs are exaggerated."

He's right, I never felt Mass Effect like this before.

That is not however a good thing.
