Andromeda at least had other reasons to fail... and was a MP game. The MP has never been a major aspect of the ME games since it was introduced with ME 3. And yes, Andromeda had all of those major problems on release that hurt its sales.

Skyrim conitnues to sell and there is The Witcher, The Witness, any number of teen-angst type games sell well, I think a SP only game has to have some serious hook though to be a best-seller. Most SP games seem to be the go-here-do-this mechanic.

Patches fixed most of the performance and animation issues and it is a solid game, but not even close to the greatness of the originals. . Fully agree with your point here. I really did enjoy Andromeda but the overall story and characters were not nearly as compelling when compared to the previous 3 ME games.

Has The Witcher 3 spoiled us for all other SP games? . I think there's a lot of truth to this. IMHO, Witcher 3 is an RPG done right on every single level.

Has The Witcher 3 spoiled us for all other SP games? Never tried this one, It is that good? Best RPG of it's type, by a mile. My opinion +1 It's games like this that kill single player, because the other games aren't anywhere near as good
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

How is the latest Asassin's Creed doing? Or "Rise of the Tombraider"? I think Prey and Dishonored 2 might have just been too far outside the "comfortable" genre. They were - for me at least - too experimental in their approach. Which is of course a shame because we want publishers to attempt new ideas and not just cookie-cutting formulas. So I'm going to support Kingdom Come: Deliverance Also I think Prey was cracked very quickly.
