So i've been diving hard in the ME:A multiplayer but neglected single player until they patch it a bunch. Anyways, ME:A multiplayer is horribly broken too, so I started playing single player. After the first vault on EOS, I realized my build sucks so i was happy to find it cost 20 credits to respec. What guns do you guys use in single player that you're liking? Also vetra and drack seem to be the only logical choices without being able to control minion powers. I respecced into a vanguard build of Annihilation, Charge and Nova... Going to be a blast I think. Are shotguns broken in single player like multiplayer (not doing the damage stated per shot?)

The Dhan has two rounds before a reload, but it hits like a train. Also a buddy swears by the homing plasma augment, says it greatly increases the range since the pellets converge on the target right before impact.

Anyone else notice how the women's version of the initiative suit has a huge rear end effect going on? It's kind of blatant when you have the men's model right next to it for comparison

Smol posted:So what's the one-month-verdict? Buy now, wait for GOTY or sell all EA stock? Wait for GOTY if you want to play a Mass Effect game that's too long, deeply flawed, but occasionally enjoyable. I wouldn't really recommend buying it now unless you know you'll enjoy absolutely anything that uses the basic Bioware formula and/or you only care about the combat, which is good but lacks variety. TipsyMcStagger posted:So i've been diving hard in the ME:A multiplayer but neglected single player until they patch it a bunch. The Hesh, one of the Kett shotguns, is real good. The Disciple's good as well. The Falcon, the assault rifle that's actually a grenade launcher, is pretty fun. I don't think SP shotguns are broken because they're extremely strong, but that could just be SP stat bloat.

Charge + Nova + Singularity and the Asari Sword makes Insanity almost too easy unless you get greedy. I think once they patch it all and the DLC drops I'll come back and try an Infiltrator run.

I've been using the Piranha with both the seeking augment and a bio-converter. As long as it's vaguely pointed in an enemy's direction the pellets are perfectly accurate out to medium range and can go around cover, melting everything without ever having to reload.

But you can nova detonate, So charge towards the tool, annihilation procs, nova slam, charge for shields regen, SHOTGUN TO THE FAAAAAAAACE!

A Buff Gay Dude posted:Illusive man set the asses to "thic" during Cryo It's a subtle clue, along with the facial animations, that the crew of the Andromeda initiative was killed and replaced with androids. The game really has some surprising storytelling beats under the surface.

Nova is not a detonator in this game (it can be upgraded to be a primer though). My vanguard powers were Charge, Annihilation, and Shockwave, with the Fusion Mod of Adrenaline which resets cooldowns when you get a kill.

Tsargon the Great posted:Completed the game, boy was that a lovely final sequence. That was a really scary half hour without SAM at the end there, I had no idea if the temperature was normal or abnormal or if I should open my mining interface They should have moved SAM being severed from you from the end of the game to halfway through. By that time I was yelling at my computer screen to shut the gently caress up every time SAM would chime in with his nonsense anyway. The side effects could keep getting worse. Natalie Dormer could be more involved in the plot as the doctor trying to get Ryder to slow the heck down/get help to justify her exorbitant appearance fee. The final door could be a Homer Cannonball moment. You know. Create more drama. Instead we get "it's just a bloody nose lol here's a datapad that explains what maybe could have happened ok cya."

However it's not a terrible game and if not for its brand pedigree it would be a cautiously optimistic C+ from a new studio. That's a long-winded way of saying 70.

I thought 3 skill profiles would be all right but they turn levels up into a feel bad late game.

The profiles and favorites whatever would've been perfectly FINE and cool (or whatever) if there wasn't that dumb loving cooldown whenever you switched. As it stands however it just actively punishes you in combat for using more than three skills. It's just so goddamned stupid.

I got that email from EA asking for feedback so I gave 'em an earful about the lovely sidequests/tasks and some of the other stuff that comes up repeatedly in the thread. I let them know I enjoyed the game though so it doesn't immediately go into the trash bin

SubponticatePoster posted:It is dumb, but there's a consumable item (that you're probably already swimming in) that instantly resets cooldowns so you have a workaround. It's the oddest thing, like - that super cheap consumable is so prevalent you may as well just not loving have it, the same with the loving modified bullets. It would literally make combat SO much more enjoyable and active. Just do the ammo per combat, not for two or three fuckign reloads, and dump the switch cooldown. God drat I am so angry. Shaking in my e-boots. If I had a twitter account I'd be tweeting up a vicious storm, believe you me. Vicious.

Weren't those always-on weapon mods as of ME, then became class powers? I think this is the first one with consumable special ammo.

ME3 Multiplayer had consumable special ammo, maybe because multiplayer characters only had three powers and wasting one of those on ammo would be lame. Probably similar reasoning for MEA.

I don't think I used a single consumable during my entire playthrough. I'm not even sure if I know how.
