I want Mass Effect 4 in the Milky Way
But, these goofy dudes leave so many stories and "mysteries" that there's no way that will happen now.
More Milky Way stuff was proolbably never gonna happen after 3. The scale & magnitude of that game was huge, you really can't top beating reapers after united an entire galaxy together while resolving multiple centuries old racial conflicts between species. They had to move the series to another galaxy I mean how do you top that and carry on with the story?
Honestly, while andromeda does fall short in a few areas, if they fix their mistakes and iron out the bugs, andromeda 2 could be the best one yet. Maybe get a couple stronger writers for the main story (side quests & dialogue writing was pretty solid imo, main story was just decent, but not bad), give us more squad control in combat, & add a few more new species to flesh out the universe and you got yourself a GotY contender.
The jump jets are probably one of the most underrated additions to the series imo. I couldn't stand that "glued to the floor" feeling from all the other games so the jump jet platforming and the nomad really open the game up in terms of overall mobility & exploration. They fukked up by taking out squad power control in combat but other than that I think combat/gameplay is by far the best in the series.
HOWEVER they do need to add more variety of enemies. I can't stand those primus/cardinal enemies with the spinning orb. They're not even hard for me at this point even on insanity they're just annoying bullet sponges. They should take notes from games like destiny with a wide variety of enemies and different mechanics for various boss battles.
There's so many open ended quests & storylines tho so I am excited to see how certain things pan out in the next game. I know we're gonna still be fighting kett but hopefully we get a few more species & space politics to give a little more depth to the galaxy. They only had us in one cluster of andromeda tho so there's plenty of room for them to develop some more alien species over the next games
