So I haven't been watching the streams but I have been listening to the fan youtube vids and podcasts (from the youtubers who got to go play 20 hours recently) and they're all saying the animations are crap but the gameplay and story is amazing and they're all full of praise for the game

Well, no poo poo. They're fans, fans are idiots. Watch the streams.

This may very well be the worst triple AAA game by a major studio ever launched in the history of the industry. Along with the complete destruction of an IP.

We are watching history in the making of what will go down as not only the destruction of a developer, the destruction of a popular IP, but also the destruction of hope for anyone still clinging on to any hope what so ever Bioware had any chance as a revival.

Kinda sad actually when you think about it.

But, hilarious none the less that this thing actually is being released into the wild.

Literally why I am interested in Andromeda beyond the multiplayer. Mass Effect 1 had the best combat system of the trilogy and the shared cooldown system they introduced in 2 (along with the dumb ammo mechanic change) was loving stupid. Bringing back the heat mechanic and getting rid of shared cooldowns - fantastic.

I wonder what some these voice actors were thinking when they were forced to read through this God Awful dialogue.

I legit feel bad for them having to have their names attached to this.

To be fair, I had hilarious amounts of fun walking into a room and telling physics to go gently caress itself in ME1. I guess I understand why, but Adepts have just never been the same since.

It had the best combat out of the trilogy - it wasn't great combat for a shooter though. It let you go to town with your wacky space powers and that's what counts.

i think it's an indictment of the game that the setup is so unfocused and the dialogue so uninteresting that it fails to properly set up the actual story of the game
