I am starting to get the impression there's a non-trivial amount of people in this thread hitting every single quippy response option in dialogue and then coming here to wonder "WHY IS THIS GAME SO QUIPPY AND WHEDON-ESQUE?"

workaround to saving a game during priority mission atm is to switch your active quest objective, save, switch back

Clawtopsy posted:its a regular reunion of people who enjoy things with bad endings I hope the game ends abruptly and incoherently, explaining nothing, to be followed by a small extension after negative fan feedback that does a little to address concerns brought up in the wake of the ending and even stirs hope that maybe the story can be salvaged but ultimately is never really delivered on! For best effect, it should be followed by another project from the same IP set in a completely different time and space with totally new characters to avoid having to fix or interact with the debacle of an ending the original had.

I've already spoiled the ending of Andromeda for myself by reading the plot synopsis of Halo 4 on wikipedia.

TastyLemonDrops posted:Who the hell thought that this planet to planet transition was good? It is this ridiculous process of zoom out, travel for way too long, zoom in. Every single time you want to travel to a new planet or back to the Nexus or whatever. They aren't even hidden loading screens because I've got a SSD, but they still take too long, and some of them are just to asteroids or whatever for 30 minerals. Yeah it's really bad. I used to really like exploring but now it's a chore.

It'd be fine if it was just a way to transition between planets we can explore. It's not that though. The thing we're doing when we go to a planet that don't have a (!) on them is checking to see if we can mine 60 palladium from it. We're doing tedious busy work and the game punishes that busy work by making it needlessly more time consuming.

You know, I should play the original Mass Effect games. Especially if this game's gonna make the IP do a Halo and gut whatever made the first three better. Any of them with great PC ports? I don't feel like firing up my 360.

Do the planets have descriptions and background like in the trilogy so there's at least something to read?

Captain Oblivious posted:Biotics can trait Lance to have no cooldown at all, and to instead consume 5% shields per use. I think I'll save Annihilation for my melee-based Vanguard Ryder. Tons of enemies tend to be shield-based from what I can tell so far, so for my main Sentinel build, I'm thinking Overload plus Energy Drain (spec'd to prime detonations at Rank 5) plus Lance. So the combat order goes Overload to prime -> Lance to detonate -> Energy Drain to restore shields and prime again -> Lance to detonate again. Non-stop electro bombs.

ME2 and ME3 have excellent PC ports (look up the ME2 mod for load screens, though). The ME1 port isn't great but that's also in the context of the PCs available when it was released. Doesn't really matter with modern systems.

They're all competent enough PC ports. You can download an easy to install mod that will give you full controller support if you down like the keyboard and mouse controls.

Kavak posted:Do the planets have descriptions and background like in the trilogy so there's at least something to read? Yeah, although I didn't see any really worth reading in the first four systems - I guess since everyone's new to Andromeda there aren't as many interesting tidbits about pirates or eccentric rich people to scatter around.

Also: Lance is basically a Biotic sniper rifle that detonates.

BrianWilly posted:Yeah I thought Lance was this weird dink wannabe Throw at first but the more I see the more interesting it is. But is it 5% or 50% shields per use? The in-game description says "Shield cost: 0.5" and I'm not sure what that translates to. 5% of shields to activate a power seems insane; you could use spam that thing twenty times in a row if that's the case. Maybe start with Energy Drain to restore shields or add to them (if that upgrade made it to this game)?

Dolash posted:Had an annoying experience where the game crashed and I decided to do other things rather than keep playing, then I got the pop-up telling me I only had a half-hour left and I realized that the game hadn't quit out properly so the trial timer was still running. I played the trial up to the end of the plot missions anyway but it would've been nice to mess around with the sidequests and stuff some more.

Generic Monk posted:get the texture overhaul for ME1 if you can though because garrus' face being a blurred ps2-level oddity persisted through the entire run of patches for some reason I was genuinely confused when Garrus showed up in ME2 and didn't look like his face was a 16x16 texture since I had only played the game on pc and was dumb enough to think he was supposed to look like that

Vanderdeath posted:Dia Lacina is Native American, so I can kinda understand why she finds Manifest Destiny-style colonialist stories to be grody. Huh, she's also the same person who called out Horizon Zero Dawn for appropriating Native American culture based only on out of context words used in reviews of Horizon Zero Dawn.
