Mass Effect: Andromeda is “Softcore Space Porn”

Let’s not beat about the bush here. Mass Effect: Andromeda is a mere 22 days away and if you’re a fan of the franchise you’ll be lying if the romance options hadn’t crossed your mind. Now the romances in the original trilogy were pretty tame. Let’s be honest the most you got really was some suggestive actions and maybe a little bit of ass. Which is just fine. However we as gamers have now experienced games like The Witcher and God of War, so Mass Effect: Andromeda could go one of 2 ways.

Firstly, they could hold the line – keep their sex scenes limited to “partial nudity” and focus more on the relationship side of things. Secondly, they could throw caution to the wind. BioWare could try to emulate some of the naughtier games out there. They could unleash the those tig ass krogan bitties! OK maybe not the krogan, but I’m sure characters like Liam, Peebee and the Ryder siblings already have their fans…

This all stems from the unofficial ESRB rating that is appearing on US retail sites like Amazon which are listing the game as Mature, with BioWare general manager Aaryn Flynn commenting on Twitter that it is thanks to one thing.

Full Nudity. OK full nudity is one thing, but it’s about how you work it. When one Twitter user alluded to Mass Effect: Andromeda being “space porn”, Aaryn Flynn had to respond.

Shut the front door Mr Flynn! “Softcore space porn”? With this revelation and producer, Mike Gamble last month announcing that you can bang “so many. And the banging is pretty good.” I have to wonder if someone put something in the water at BioWare HQ. It certainly seems like there’s only one thing on their mind, and I can’t help but wonder if Mass Effect: Andromeda will just be the tale of Ryder “banging” their way across a new galaxy.

It would be hard to say if they are building something up that might not live up to expectations, or they might simply be teasing us all, but when another Twitter user responded “I’m struggling to tell if you are trolling us or not right now”, Flynn answered with a simple “Oh I’m not.”

Mass Effect-ive Price Drop

Before I leave you with the mental image of naked aliens, I do have one last thing to say. While doing some research on the ESRB rating of Mass Effect: Andromeda, I did stumble across what might be the deal of the decade. Amazon have brutally slashed the price of Mass Effect: Andromeda, and it’s a deal that has to be seen to be believed.

Don’t run for the eye-wash. Don’t go calling Ripley’s. This deal is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get Mass Effect: Andromeda with an unbeatable 0.05% off.

Obviously I jest, but don’t forget Mass Effect: Andromeda is out on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 21 in North America, March 23 in Europe.
