I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

As I understand it, the show it's supposed to appear on doesn't even start for another hour or more, so just hang tight.

And like years later it's still this event that has dominated the thread and people are still mad about it and it's like dude didn't you play the multi tho?!?!?

Classic multiplayer storytelling like "you didn't kill enough banshees, so now the wave you don't play is longer"

Man, they're obviously keeping Andromeda for last. Bioware must be betting on it being impressive.

I think its more that they see Andromeda as one of the big draws so they want it last to keep everyone watching the whole thing

Nothing really surprising, but good nonetheless.
Ammo powers looks like they're not toggles any more, but instead last for a set number of reloads. Maybe multiple ammo powers won't feel like garbage now.

I love how the whole preamble was lowering expectations - "Making games is really hard, you guys."

Also, the faces looked weird for a reason I can't quite describe.

It'll be a QTE. It's always a QTE.

At least, it will be in single player :unsmigghh:

Raise Chris Coons' taxes so that we can have Medicare for All.

Looked good. I'm not hyped, but I am a bit more than cautiously optimistic. The combat looked like another big upgrade.

I have never played any of the Dragon Age series, is that good or bad? I really have no idea.

I'm actually okay with this, mainly because the combat in ME has always been way more fun than in any dragon age game. The problem with having MMO style combat in MMO mechanics land is suddenly you're just playing a lovely single player mmo. It honestly reminded me more of borderlands than anything else from the little bit we saw, just without the bullet sponge problem.

Girl Ryder is weird looking. I thought everything else looked cool. Also, as much as I dig the concept of going to a new and unexplored galaxy, it's pretty loving dumb that you're going to hub worlds that seem to be heavily populated by the milky way species. Wouldn't it make more sense if they were kind of sparse

I'm hoping this isn't the case. Open-World gameplay generally means "Destroy X enemy encampments each consisting pre-made assets slightly rotated to look different."
