re: Mass Effect Andromeda thread - 3/21/17 Release Date

Insanity is no joke. Seems to have gotten harder from the trial.

On a mission where I can't save and there's no auto saves. I'm going to fricking lose it

Yeah and the auto saves seem completely random. I clear an objective but then I die and have to re do the whole fricking thing.

Remnant glyphsare the dumbest fricking things ever

Not having any problems with it. Are you using ATM for hills?

Combat is definitely way, way harder than in other ME game.

The cover system is giving me a few derpy moments. And I'm only a little ways into the game but I'm really hoping for the opportunity to sacrifice Liam for the cause.

Liam kept on dying on me for some reason compared to Cora. Using Jaal and Peebee right now and liking them. Peebee sets up nice combos. Might try Drack out but I don't like his character as much.

Also realized pretty early on that the assault turret and much of the tech tree seems to suck. Switched to a more biotic/combat loadout and I'm having a much easier time killing shite.

do you guys think that the seemingly mass outrage may be the result of some leftover vitriol regarding how the ending of ME:3 was handled?

Definitely.

<--------- See this guy.

seems like the fans have lost faith in Bioware and are taking every opportunity to shite on their product.

This is Bioware only in name. It isn't their true development team. It's the shite C-level team.

ME:1 is probably my favorite game in the series and it was buggy as hell, yet reviews were positive IIRC.

---

It was the first major game of the series. Bugs are expected. It was also such a well-done and expansive game that the bugs were there, but only an afterthought. A professional company of their caliber should not make mistakes like that on their 4th, 5th, 6th, etc., games.

I'm a long time lurker and your hatred of the ME:3 ending borders on legend at this point

I'm just trying to gauge whether this game was doomed from the start because of the ME:3 debacle or, if after the kneejerk reactions subside, it will be considered a solid title separate from the original trilogy (though comparisons are inevitable)

All concerns aside, I'm a huge Mass Effect fan and even though I felt burned by the original trilogy's ending (including the hackneyed PowerPoint add on), I'm probably going to wind up pulling the trigger on this simply because I love the universe too much to pass on it.

I don't know what everyone is bitching about. Is it perfect? No.

Is it fricking Mass Effect? Y-E-S YES YES YES

The multiplayer is fun as shite, the combat is fun (outside of the no squad powers and derpalicious cover system), and the setting is great.

8/10 in the 3 hours I got to play last night.

ME:3 had many other issues other than the ending and one of the biggest was the multiplayer. It felt shoehorned in and, despite being competent, the fact that it had ANY impact on the story was egregious.

I always said it felt like someone had given a thoughtful, well-written indie series over to Michael Bay

Andromeda reeks of EA corporate meddling, but even if it winds up being just a B-movie like entry in the series, I'll probably be appeased (which is right were EA wants me )
