In the new game do I still have to play 20 hours of multiplayer before I'm allowed to get the good ending from my single player campaign?

Yeah, but he'll still have the Lambo and then he can go get some good hookers to drive around in it.

Years ago I seem to remember someone describing Andromeda as "DA Inquisition in space". It got my hopes up at the time, but unfortunately for EA, The Witcher and Zelda have both raised the bar for open world games since then, especially quest design. I hope it really doesn't turn into endless MMO style quests.

That term specifically refers to pulp magazine covers though?

It was coined in a story named for Hugo Gernsback!

pulp isn't exclusively a sci fi thing though, it's an adjective. john grisham novels are pulpy. victorian romance novels are pulpy. marvel cinematic universe movies are pulpy. this magazine cover, which you may note contains no robots or aliens, is pulpy:


mass effect, without a doubt, is straight up trash pulp and always has been since the beginning

on the other hand, raygun gothic is an aesthetic style with tin can robots, fishbowl space helmets, and space rays that go "zwee". mass effect is not raygun gothic.

I sincerely doubt you'll need a 1060 to pull off the visuals in Andromeda, unless the PC version is somehow seriously unoptimized. It doesn't even have TressFX!

People who are actually playing it seem to be doing better than 30fps/1080p/high with weaker cards so I think, like with a lot of recent games, the recommended requirements are really over-the-top.
