It's not like you couldn't have a bald space marine dude on the cover AND have more than one race option for the protagonist. But yeah, "prequel" sounds to me like "Story about first contact war that will be uninspired at best". But I guess they could surprise us and make it a game where you play as an asari/turian/salarian before they found the humans!

Thermal clips was the single largest improvement to the combat in ME2 compared to ME1.

I wasn't playing Mass Effect for the combat either, but given the choice between bad combat (ME1) and good combat (ME2, ME3), I'll pick good combat every time. I prefer good things over bad things even if they're not the main focus of the game.

Reloading fits a better with cover based combat where you pop out, unload a clip and pop back, I guess? But yeah, I guess you're right, the reloading itself doesn't matter a whole lot. You could have basically the same combat where the gun overheats after 10 shots in rapid succession rather than just having to reload after 10 shots. A lot of the time you have to sit back for a few extra seconds waiting for health/shields to recharge anyway, which takes about as long as waiting for a gun to cool down. So why is guns overheating somehow superior to reloading?

Lycus posted:Okay, people that have done the whole "get everybody's health down to a sliver, then get out of the Mako and kill them for the XP boost" thing. Be honest with me, did any of you like doing that? Because that sounds like a horrible time to me. I don't think I'd do that in a million years. After a while I didn't really bother using the Mako's guns at all except maybe against thresher maws and some of the big geth. In all but like one of my playthroughs I was using a sniper rifle anyway, and those are easier to aim once you get a few points in them. ME1's combat kinda sucks on any difficulty, but now after like 5 playthroughs I can't play ME2 or 3 on anything but insanity, because it feels too easy otherwise.

The only bad thing about how ME2 abilities handle shields/barriers/armor is that it causes Miranda to be pretty much the best character to bring with you since she has both warp and overload.

Some ME4 development stuff thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00YqU7CT3XQ I didn't watch all 30 minutes of it, but I did catch that the main character is wearing N7 armour. I hope the systems alliance accepts alien recruits, because playable aliens is like #1 on my list of things I want in ME4.

Wasn't the Illusive man originally supposed to turn into a reaper monster and used as a bossfight? As bad as the ME3 ending was, it could've been a lot worse.

The soldier gets every gun, including assault rifles which no other class get. And they get to use bullet time pretty much all the time. I found ME2 too easy on insanity as a soldier.

I'm not sure jetpacks is what I needed in my mass effect. Bet they're gonna go for some sort of open world thing like they did in DA3 which is just a horrible slog that the game would've been better off without.

Furism posted:What I'm afraid of is that Andromeda will follow the DAI route and go open-worldish. Collect space bear asses and all. I guess it'll be fun to kill Thresher Maws with the Mako again. Same. DAI was a good game, but the open world bits that were shoehorned in so they could pretend to be a little bit like skyrim needed to loving go. And the random planets you had to navigate with the mako were the worst parts of ME1. Skyrim isn't even a good game jesus christ.

Vanguard, soldier and infiltrator are all good. The only other class I've tried is engineer, and holy poo poo was that dull. I had to download a cheat program to change class in order to keep playing.

Speaking of jack, am I the only one who was bothered by her jailbreak scene? Like, don't biotics kinda need an amp to use their powers properly? Wouldn't they remove that before putting her in cold storage? Also why can't she take down 3 heavy mechs in one hit when she's in my party.

I'm actually disappointed they didn't just say that Turian men and women are pretty much indistinguishable from each other to a human eye. I mean, that's basically what they did with the Salarians, and with them there was actually a reason in the codex why there weren't any women around.

Pattonesque posted:I replayed ME1 on the xbone recently and hoo boy parts of it have not aged well I'm cautiously optimistic about ME4 after DA3, though. It'll probably have some lovely bethesdaesque open world bits, but running around a galaxy as a Bioware Mary Sue is most likely gonna be fun.

I think shamus makes some good points about how bad ME3's plot is, but he's also an incredible sperg who spent literally months writing nitpicky essays about video games. Dunno what he wrote about ME2, since that's a fun game and I don't want to read bad things about it.

gfanikf posted:Javik was one of the pre-order DLCs. I can see that, but he's also a massive dick with a superiority complex and whose not afraid to show it. Interestingly he isn't the total lore dump you might first think he was going to be. He talks about being born centuries after the war started and only being exposed to the military side of things vs lots of the cultural or science side. It's neat getting a skewed narrator vs all knowing. It annoyed me that he knew a lot of what would've been obscure evolutionary xenobiology trivia in his days, like anything at all about the Salarians or Asari.

I would've bought the ME3 and DAI DLC by now if they ever went on sale. But it hasn't, so I haven't. What I'm saying is it just makes logical sense to drop the price on DLC, because then more people will buy it.
