Mass Effect: Andromeda

Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda

I spaced out my trial play time so that I would finish it up just about the time that the full game unlocked, and sure enough Xbox live is having some issues so I can't access the game right now. I bet it will probably be fixed around 9:00 pm.

Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda

From Virmire till the end in ME1 is the pinnacle of the series in my book.

What bums me out the most with Andromeda is a new galaxy should give them a chance to introduce a ton of new alien species, yet we're still predominately interacting with same ones from the original trilogy. Comparisons to the first three games were inevitable, but I feel it's even easier when you play it so safe; "this new Turian companion seems alright, but she's no Garrus".

A lot of the same ground is covered too, like, have you heard about the Genophage? Yes, it's only been a big pillar in the three prior games. Similar codex entries and damn I miss that narrator. Andromeda just feels a bit soulless, but I still want to play it after spending a few hours with the trial, again just going to wait for a sale or year from now when it goes up on Origin Access.

And yeah, there's been a string of really great games this year. Who would've thought the makers of Killzone would outdo BioWare their first try? Even the biggest dissenters of Inquisition and Mass Effect 3 would've called you crazy.

I tried to play ME1 back in the day when it came out but I didn't get far, way too much conversation for me very boring in imo. I enjoyed ME2, it had a lot of conversation but it had more action too which I enjoyed. I was a big fan of Dragon Age Inquisition and I expect to enjoy Andromeda when I buy it for the Scorpio this fall and hopefully by then the game is much improved as far as technical issues.

Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda

Is a 75 on metacritic really THAT bad? I mean, it seems like it falls a little short of the mark the trilogy set, but if the game is "just decent" would that be considered a failure since it is a Mass Effect game?

It's really not, but the hivemind runs DEEP against this game.

As it is, most of the reviews can barely agree on the drawbacks and are all over the place. It's a very confusing launch for sure.

All I care about is getting to finally play a new Mass Effect game tomorrow morning.

No game is complete for me without the CE Guide.

As always if anyone wants the E-Guide manual shoot me a pm. All that I ask is that you use it and not profit off it. Enjoy!!

That actually makes me feel better. If there were major consensus on issues, it would be more worrisome. When reviewers are all over the place, it tends to trend more towards nitpicking or personal expectations.

My guess is that we will see that same thing in this thread...lots of love, hate, and everything in between.

One thing that has me raising my eyebrow is one review saying "it's bad combat in a game full of combat" and other reviews saying "best combat of the series."

Combat looks awesome in all the vids I have seen.

Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda

Is this game more or less linear than the trilogy? Are the dialog choices similar? Thanks

One thing about combat that is worrisome for me is the AI's failure to adjust to the situation. They don't really use cover or re-position if they are getting flanked. Even on insanity from what I have seen.

Yeah the only tactical decisions I've seen them make is they all swarmed when I got caught out in the open and I've seen them go back to cover when my team recovered.

It's not the score but what drops it to that score. If the story is bad that's a bid issue with me as I can look past some graphical issues etc...

So anyways you really need to know what made the score the score first and foremost.

It's a sale only at this point for me but if people aren't bothered by certain things it's a day one purchase..
