Some more screenshots: This one looks loving weird--like what is even happening at the top? Can't tell if that's actually the game or how it was composited from screenshots.  Apparently Remnant Tech opens doors to the rift.  Close up from that last shot. And some comments about the "tone" wheel

So you don't see what you say before you say it? You just pick an emotion and Ryder blurts something out? If so I hope they include a "wait wait sorry obviously what I meant to say is" button

 this thread is about: 1) Basement troll alien sex 2) Bashing ME3 which is understandable because it sucked 3) Legitimate questions about PC power to run the game 1. I just played the game for the 3rd time and I think I hosed Garrus but the cut-scene skipped and I was really tired last night and I think it skipped some stuff because I had already beaten it twice and had all the achievements . 2. ME3 was terrible, but I just beat 2 and I'm probably going to play it later because MEH why not. I literally can't remember a single companion or any of the story, and I remembered every single thing from 2. 3. I will be playing on Xbox because I'm almost 40 and I'm tired of building PC's and spending all that money for 1 or two games in a year. poo poo, my 2-year old Surface has an i7. If you don't have that, just buy an Xbox or other console and you can play on your couch on your bigscreen and eat dinner while still mining a planet for resources listening to Tricha Helfer tell you to Probe Away

Videogame marketing is a bunch of bullshit anyway, I'm glad that they're not spending billions of dollars on making a CGI trailer with Marilyn Manson that has literally nothing to do with the game.marshmallow creep posted:And some comments about the "tone" wheel Hobo Clown posted:So you don't see what you say before you say it?

If so I hope they include a "wait wait sorry obviously what I meant to say is" button I'm pretty sure it's like Dragon Age 2/3, which is almost identical to how Mass Effect handles conversations but you get little pictures in the dialogue wheel when you select a response that gives you a better idea of what the tone of the response is (which ME had problems with on occasion). EDIT: The reason why those screenshots look so weird is because they look like they're supposed to be 360 degree pictures. Those things always look weird and distorted when viewed outside of a proper viewer. Veotax fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Feb 25, 2017 |

Groetgaffel posted:Presumably it will still give you a general indication on what you will say, but prioritizing making it clear what tone you'll use is so much better than the occasionally misleading snippets they used to have. A problem Witcher 2 had as well. Yes.  Unless they've changed it since November, you still get a short summary of your point, but the icon will indicate what "tone" you're going to take with that, so you hopefully aren't surprised when you do something like break a man's leg.

Are you for real here, Alpha Protocol had one of the best examples of a branching storyline in modern gaming. You could make a boss basically commit suicide, or if you make a certain one hate you by being a cocky poo poo he stands and dies instead of fleeing to pop up later. Hell, even doing the areas in different orders led to new and interesting dialogues.

There were comments from press in preview builds that Sloane Kelly (that character) has been updated since that trailer. Not sure how much, though. Also:  If you were curious what finishing the Andromeda Initiatives briefings lets you do to your car.

Codependent Poster posted:Just lol at all the people who keep making up things about why the game will suck. After years of huge blitzes and spoilers beating you down for two years before a game comes out I'm digging the recent trend of "less is more." It worked for Fallout 4 and seems to be going okay for Andromeda. I'm looking forward to actually discovering things in a game for a change even if it is just background about npcs or what critters run around a certain planet.

Nobody ever replies to me in this thread, which is totally fine, since I don't care- but thanks again and GENUINE thanks this time, because this thread made me purchase EA Access for $30 and I've already played and beaten ME2 and I am about to play 3 after I also play Origins again. And I've gotten a bunch of Plants vs. Zombies for when I'm really bored. I think it was a well-spent $30. IDK. Tootles
