Wonder what the TTF (time to gently caress) stat is in the game. If I'm not banging some aliens by Thursday evening I'll be very disappointed and demand a refund

yeah, wish i could play it over my spring break, but oh well. glad its soon.

I'm glad 'hideous eye-searing color schemes' are still an option in MP (Phone shot from someone at PAX).

Man, those system requirements were way off if we can still play the game in CGA Pallette 1.

So their big dumb intial plan was Find some Worlds and set the system up to where we'd go from there hoping the GOLDEN WORLDS would sustain us. Well I guess Ryder checks out now if this whole initiative was that stupid.

One thing I'm not a fan of, apparently you only get one copy of an augment when you research it, and then unlock the ability for more of them to randomly drop. But you can't buy additional copies manually.

Its like the learned the exact opposite problem of Dead Space 3. People want to be able to get poo poo they know how to make. Not spend literal days collecting the poo poo to make them.

So like Ryder learns how to make it, makes it, then forgets how to make it but they are now somehow scattered across Andromeda?

I can't wait to hear fan lore theories to explain this.

But this sounds dumb because it just means I will never use my augments for fear that I will never get another one. I don't like this and I don't like the whole hazard mechanic either.

How is colonizing an uninhabited habitable system in Andromeda any different from the Milky Way?

The difference is that these worlds ARE inhabited, something the Andromeda Initiative clearly anticipated (from the videos), but didn't care enough about to rethink any part of their extremely dumb and negligent plan.

Still, I'm clearly just annoying people so I'll shut up now. :)

One thing that bothered me about the animations once I noticed it is that the human and asari characters lips stretch really far off of their faces when they talk. I can't not look for it when I see more footage of conversations now.

I really can't decide if "I'm only human, after all, don't put the blame on me" in a game about humanity invading another galaxy and getting into a fight with the residents is incredibly inspired or stupid as hell.

So they showed a little of the new mining mechanic in this video and uhhhhhhh i don't think I like it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGG1zbjbBaM&t=80s

It seems like it's basically the same thing as old planet scanning minigame, except you physically have to drive the nomad to the spot with the most minerals. They mark nodes on the map, and you drive to the vicinity, and then you bring up a little meter and play what appears to be mineral hot and cold until you find a spot with a satisfyingly high enough count to call down a probe.

Maybe you'll not have to do too much of it? I'm not thrilled with what I saw there.

Yeah, but my favorite part (other than the dev repeatedly dying at the beginning) was Ryder and Liam taking turns hanging up on the mission's villain mid-rant while the two argued about something or other.

My only hopes for this game is that you can get poo poo faced at a bar again in typical ME fashion complete with bad alcohol physics and a shotglass not quite in your hand.

The other is that I hope they kept the galaxy map music.
