    I would personally like to thank each and every one of you for Beta testing for me, what I am sure will be a wonderful game in August.

    Sorry I know it is not funny, but what can we do?


    The game really isn't as bad as the internet would have you believe. It's not a sh*tfest. It's like the pretty nerd who needs to take her glasses off and take her hair down to be insta-hot.

      That is kind of what I figured. I trust most of the opinions here more than Reviews and such. Honestly it was a wait until August/September even without issues. I have learned the hard way that to keep my backlog down I just have to quit buying.... uhm stuff, yeah stuff. I know myself and once I buy MLB The Show, I play it and maybe one other game for the majority of the Summer. So until I beat Horizon, I am not buying anything else.But this is my next purchase as I truly love this Franchise.

        Thats true, but it looks like it will be better after the patch, so waiting seems to be a good strategy on this one.

          Definitely glad I waited...sounds like they are addressing pretty much all of what made me hesitate. I'm especially curious to see just how much character creation options and quality improve.

              Mass Effect: Andromeda

              Overall if I loved the original trilogy ( which I did) will I love this?

              Looking to get this for the holidays this year.

                  Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda

                  I've enjoyed the game quite a bit. It is better than what the reviewers are saying; some of the reviews have an axe to grind with EA, or were looking for ME4, which this isn't. The combat is the most fun I've had with a 3PS in a long time, the RPG elements have returned, the dialogue is more nuanced than the Picard/Dirty Harry approach of the trilogy and while some of the characters take awhile to get going, there were no duds among the party members in my opinion.

                  I am nearly done with it, but I'll wait until the patch to start a second play through.

                    I'm not close to being done, as I'm a do as much as possible on one play through player, but I concur with this whole post.

                      I need to get back into this. The show coming out killed my momentum. Need to clear a few minor missions and i am right on the last mission of my male ryder playthrough. Will wait for the patch for my female run.

                            ok, well this will be my last beating of the dead horse, but this game seems to have more technical issues that need patching than most games, so I don't think its fair to lump it in with most other games that have much smaller patches.

                            Yes, every single game gets patches these days, but surely you see a difference between this game and most other AAA releases?

                              Not waiting on a patch, I'm just waiting for the complete edition because I'm a cheapo But nice to know they will address the technical issues by the time I play it

                                that would depend on what you would call a technical issues.
                                some of the animation issues are not really "bugs", just poorly made animations.

                                I haven't ran into many bugs myself. PeeBee constantly turning the wrong way in conversations on the Tempest, ran into a save/load bug once, but got around it by loading another save(the game auto-saves a lot), and an issue where my character was leaning partially into the ground at an angle when i got out of the nomad and the nomad going invisible, that was fixed by saving/loading. I'm 55 hours in.

                                pre-launch, on PC, there was an issue for people that had Corsair software installed that prevented that game from even loading, but that was fixed by launch day.

                                there are plenty of things I would like to changed, like being able to go on the tempest without having to leave orbit every time for example. but nothing "game-breaking" or making me wish i waited on getting the game.
