Hopefully in the sequel Ryder dies or something or it becomes Dragon Age and you become the new "hero" while your custom character from this game just fades into the background or goes to heaven from Lord of the Rings.

There's plenty of people here talking about why the game is good and how they are having fun, and there are plenty of people joking about how the game has bad animations/graphics/whatever the flavor of the minute thing to laugh at is.

And then there are the two people walking into the room loudly telling eachother "BOY, CAN YOU BELIEVE THESE GUYS THAT JUST WANT IT TO FAIL? I MEAN SHEEEEEESH, AT LEAST PLAAAAAY THE GAME FIRST. WOOOOOOOW YOU GUYS CARE ABOUT THIS TOO MUCH. GAMERS SUCK HAHA. WE ARE VERY SMART."

Also I don't care if you shitpost. I'm just loving with the skeleton eating christmas lights guy because for some reason that offer triggers the poo poo out of him.

this might be the most retarded thing I've seen yet in this thread and that's speaking volumes. yes why would I want to ensure that my teammates are a credit to my missions as opposed to leaving team synergy and ability meshing by complete and pure luck. lemme just upgrade skills and hope that the moronic AI somehow divines when and where to utilize these things.

just lol at "standard RPG controls" being "micromanaging" but I guess when you're a fan of this dogshit game the complexity would be a net negative. gently caress options just point me to the nearest catperson to gently caress

well my favorite thing about it is probably the combat, but i also have genuinely enjoyed the sense of exploration in this game. even just on eos, the side quests felt like they added to the world and i was learning more about the world doing them. fun exploration.

my least favorite bit is probaby respecs having a cost that increases each time you use it. i like respeccing constantly to try new things and that doesn't really encourage that behavior. from what i understand, new game plus lets you carry over nearly EVERYTHING so i should probably stop sweating it.

also the crafting is not great. i like what it is, but the method of using augments to build guns makes me want to hold on to all my augments for when i get the best stuff to craft, but that's more me being anal about playing optimal.

but i also like the characters, writing, and story.

This is a firmly mediocre game made deeply disappointing by how good the predecessor games in the intellectual property were. I'll play it once, get my money's worth on a dollar/hour basis with all of the filler bullshit, and that's fine with me.

I actually did not know that. Seems especially pointless in a game where you can eventually have all the points.

if it turns out cams isn't precisely an EA shill but actually one of the people who worked very hard on mass effect andromeda trying to make the best game they could and they're taking all the negative criticism in this thread personally because it is, in fact, personal to them that would be actually kind of sad.

first respec costs 20 credits, then costs increase by 500 credits per respec with (seemingly) no cap. also, the respecs are per character but they share the same cost. so, if you want to respec everyone, you're spending a few thousand credits.

i assume the cost resets if you new game+ though

If the AI companions don't really do anything but soak up bullets why bother respec them?

i like the filler content. i like the combat. i like the atmosphere and environments, i like hanging out in that world.

i probably did at least 70% of the game's content on 3 or 4 different characters. it is why i am very happy about mass effect andromeda, because it is my favorite kind of video game.

ai companions use their skills constantly, you just have to direct them. use the dpad commands to point them to enemies and they'll set you up for combos. if you aren't commanding them, they will just kind of stay near you playing more defensive.

fair enough, it's not for me though which is why I don't think this game will be either. I could feel my life ticking away as I collected item #934 for the scouts in the hinterlands before I realized none of that poo poo matters at all. The maps did look pretty though.

i did hinterlands so many times that i have a fairly efficient route on how to get everything done fairly quickly.

tbh the only thing about questing in that game that bugged me were the ones that required you to go back to the war table to complete. any of the missions that opened up new parts of zones did this, and the horsemaster quest where you place 3 beacons then have to go back and hit a button on the war table. gently caress that noise.
