So this video, while taking a huge grain of salt while watching it, is making me think maybe Andromeda might not be as bad.

I'm still gonna wait and see what reviews say, and possibly wait a few days after launch to return or buy it (still got Horizon Zero Dawn to keep me busy) to get unfiltered non-garbage opinions, but this seems to be a better criticism.

This makes me think that the game will just be cringeworthy

would be fun liking a mass effect game again but The Witcher 3 has ruined most RPGs for me.

I think the only game tonight that will match or exceed Witcher 3 anytime soon is Cyberpunk 2077. But that's not out for another year or two.

This is exactly what I do and I have no shame about it. I just wish some game would have my WRX wagon in it. Wagons are where it's at, yo.

I got it, and I feel weird when I say I can't make myself care about it. It has some neat poo poo here and there, but the voice acting, uncanny valley characters, and lovely 1 season 80s cartoon vibe are killing it for me. And the combat flow just feels like you're watching a movie to me, like my inputs are considered but the game will choose what looks cooler and runs with it, It's kind of like a neutered Shadows of Mordor meets a meh Witcher clone. I get why other people like it, but I just can't seem to play it for more than 30 minutes before wanting to do something else entirely.

Plus, the controls feel really floaty to me

How far are you? I found after the first several hours, the game gets far more intriguing.

Yea man I think the game controls phenomenally well. It's not MGS V levels of responsiveness but close.

I say stick with it. Once you get skill upgrades to notch 3 arrows and become more lethal in combat, the game gets more enjoyable to play.

I just hit an awesome story point about the past world. It's dope. Very Fallout ish in tone.

I liked it a lot on Oculus, but it really lacked depth unfortunately. Also the throttle controls were not meant for joysticks.

It helps Cyberpunk is being made by the same developer, but yeah pretty much.

I just got the new shadow run but haven't started it yet. Still on the fence. I got it during my latest spurge of nostalgia game playing (SNES and those style games).

I'll probably check it out this week while I'm staying in a hotel for work.

The HBS Shadowruns are good and cool.

There was a mod for Dragon Fall or HK, not sure which, I think called Shadowrun Unlimited, that tries to do a game like that of the Genesis one. It was kinda janky when I tried it but maybe it's been improved.

I enjoyed playing through Shadowrun Returns even though a lot of people bagged on it. I've tried to get into Dragonfall a couple times but it hasn't stuck with me yet.

Nier: Automata is pretty rad so far. The PC port is kind of fucky and requires a bit of messing around to get it to work properly, but it runs decently well once you get it set up right. It follows the classic budget Japanese action game formula of massive, repetitive environments with zero decoration but the combat is fun and varied and the story seems pretty wild.

Honestly I'm probably gonna make my tough black chick with short hair again. Or maybe I should try for Vasquez. The multi is the main draw for me.


But speaking of the multi, no lag issues, no sir.

Stay the gently caress away from the ME:A thread in games imo, its full of turds making GBS threads on the game and spoiling the story, since the single-player stream embargo is lifted.

Two finger needs to get a good vpn so he can unlock the game earlier than the 23rd. Set that poo poo to South Korea and it unlocks in about 8 hours from this post.

I can survive. I haven't even finished the 10 hour trial yet lol

I've just been posting in the old ME3 multiplayer thread about my experiences with the game and.... there's a lot of people reporting similar issues. It's not looking crash hot.

It just really frustrates me because 3 was just that loving good that I got Andromeda purely on the strength of my experience with it. And I've had matches where that old magic is back and it's Really Good. But then it's just getting dragged down by technical problems and weird design decisions.

I just want the game to be good :(

Can you do any sort of fixed matchmaking with friends or is it some gently caress you random matchmaker that you can't change? I'd be down to get drunk and shoot kett with goons.

I didn't gently caress with the ME:A multiplayer too much, the desyncs in the trial really ruined it for me, I kept getting sync killed by the final bosses.

Its you. You're part of the problem.

Refund it and buy it again if it gets "fixed". Don't reward this nonsense.
