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

I hadn't really paid attention to that detail before, but that trailer said "first wave of arks" like the AI expected for more people from the Milky Way to be following along behind. Very optimistic.

That was a pretty good trailer, 'specially by Bioware's standards.

Laughed way too hard at this typo. But yeah I liked the trailer and I will waste hundreds of hours of my life on this game.

I bet in the sequel or possibly dlc we'll see the other Milky Way races like Batarians, Elcor, Drell, and Hanar

I think they said as much

this is almost definitely happening -- the only real question is if they manage to leave before the Reaper war or come in as refugees from it

the tone of their arrival and the story beats as a result would be quite different

A RX480 or GTX 1060 as a recommended card for 1080p "high" is "insane" system requirements?

Heck the video card I got in 2012 or thereabouts is still enough to play the game.

Still planning an upgrade just in general, though. I can only really play Witcher 3 on fairly good settings if I drop the resolution more than I like.

Latest trailer looked fine. I could have done without the pop rock but I'm more a fan of the soundtracks from ME1 & ME2 so there is that.

Everyone uses pop music in their trailers. The in-game stuff will be orchestral like in the rest of the series.

Why would you buy a PS4 when you could have a good console with good connection speeds that most (all, in my case) of the games you want to play come out on, with free Xbox 360 backcompatibility, with two (EA and Non-EA) Netflix-like services with large libraries which allow you to download all the currently available games you like versus streaming them, which also happens to be the most affordable Ultra BluRay player on the market instead?

People make weird choices driven by peer pressure I guess.

So on the one hand, preordering on Origin with Access gets you a discount and the early trial. I could play the game during my Spring Break if I did that. On the other hand, Amazon Prime is discounting preorders by 20% according to a friend of mine, so there's also that.

It amazes me that my friends have all already preordered, and yet here I am of all people.

Amazon Prime discounts every game pre-order by 20%. It is not a limited time thing.

It might only work on physical copies, though. I haven't bought any PC games through it but the console games I bought it won't give me the discount on the digital version.
