One of the developers who worked on Mass Effect Andromeda, Mark Darrah, recently spoke with GameInformer in the popular 123 rapid-fire questions series episode on Anthem. During the video, Mass Effect Andromeda came up when the host asked: “did Andromeda got a fair shot?” To the question, Darrah replied by blaming five other RPG games that released in the same window as Andromeda; and of course, he mentioned Zelda by name... I think it came out in a really really busy window in March, perhaps the busiest window in the history of the gaming industry where 5 RPGs released in the same month. It came out in the same month as Zelda.
Darrah believes those five other RPGs releasing in the same time frame meant Andromeda didn’t get a fair shot. His statement is a blatant lie and a ridiculous excuse with no logic or sense. First, no major RPG released in March 2017 other than The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
The only other major games in the same month were Nier Automata and Ghost Recon: Wildlands and among them all, only Mass Effect can be considered a true RPG experience. Even Zelda is an action adventure first.
