I love the "wait a minute but mankind just got onboard with galactic civilization" posts Mass Effect had a ridiculous problem of scale: although 99% of the galaxy was uncharted, somehow it has been wholly claimed by the Citadel and almost half of it was Alliance space by ME3. Also humans haven't been in space for like 50 years? Andromeda could be an opportunity to not fall into those holes again but what are the odds

wasn't there an artist that left Andromeda and had like a full stack of awesome alien designs but all of them were shot because "TOO ALIEN" or something? because the angara and the kett suck on the alien-ness scale

even better than the witcher posts (which most of are made in fair comparison to what bioware has been offering as of late) is this attitude of "oh my loving god shut up about that thing that seems good and popular, I am just sick" That attitude of "I am not going to see that [acclaimed critically and popular movie] because of how people can't just keep talking about it", or "[popular literature classic well regarded to these days], not going to read it because everybody tells me to", or the most traditional of all: the music snob that won't listen to a new, cool and good album because it is popular is just self-pretentious gooniness of the highest degree Witcher 3 has been brought often and will be brought often a thousand times because CDPR came and offered something that has struck a chord with the public and has received great public and critical acclaim, which any top-flight developer should pay attention to. And if you don't give a gently caress about Witcher specifically, well, other games will come up: posters are already bringing how good Horizon Zero Dawn is and is terms of critical perception it is much worse for Bioware to have a game like that coming this hot just before ME:A, because guess what - people compare stuff because they build their perceptions from the references they have, and that is how genres and mediums grow and develop And then it is funny that a lot of the "negative" posters here are the ones who are perfectly fine with the deal they are getting from it: hot krogan vanguard jetpack full-blasting action and it is probably going to be awesome

If anyone is playing ME1 again, no joke, just cheat. Give yourself ridiculous credits, levels, powers, whatever, just go and enjoy the story. a bit OT: I remember that the gameplay lead of ME2 had a blog or something which she commented a lot about the changes, how they wanted to greatly increase the pace and create a bit of tactics to make it more engaging, and was pretty much one of the main people around that made the massive improvements in 2 and 3. Googling about her, she left Bioware after ME3 in 2011 and was the main welp I had with Andromeda, but thankfully her approach seemed to stay on.

Torrannor posted:I'm only puzzled that nobody mentions Obsidian's Tyranny as one of the games with the very best branching storylines. You can play through it in about 20 hours, but it's absolutely worth it to play through it four times, because there are 4 radically diverging story paths after the first act. Eh, I played Tyranny and I am thinking that Obsidian is relying a bit too much on their reputation as "great storytellers" and getting a tad comfortable with their thing because I felt the endings were very weak in execution in comparison to the set-up to them (and the great reactivity of the story overall). In hindsight, the gameplay was pretty much just serviceable and I really hope they don't get stuck to that mindset and try to do more than just "we really like D&D". Thinking about it, Obsidian had a lot of passes based on their past glories, but it seems they have finally found their stride with Pillars of Eternity being a well built game without a lot of the problems that plagued them in the past, so good for them.

Captain Oblivious posted:I think this is the first time I've ever heard anyone say Obsidian gets any passes for anything, let alone a lot of passes. Their games are scrutinized more critically by gamers than almost anyones Really? Then I conveyed badly what I meant. Let me try to phrase it better: I wasn't talking about the mainstream coverage/discussion of the company, but mainly about their own audience. For example, I played Alpha Protocol and while I enjoyed it, my perception was that a lot of the fans of the game disregarded the many bads of it for the sake of "look at this superior storytelling". And as Obsidian grew to have a base with enough size to allow them to kickstart big projects, there was a tad of "it is Obsidian, their games are janky and buggy but w/e". Personally, I think this is bad because it may feedback on the developer's attitude, which, bringing back to the thread, causes stuff like what people are joking and messing around about Andromeda.

imho bland and boring, AKA the "jacob problem", is that in the hilarious chucklefuckfest train that was the Normandy, a guy whose major problem was that he thought his dad was dead and had worked his issues with it already in comparison to the others was basically "nah he's uninteresting" But Jacob's purpose was to inspire the funniest thing ever made from ME2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gGShiM1Exc

what I find a bit funny regarding the pathfinder business is that this is the first bioware game that comes to mind that your character is a true green as grass fool thrown into the mess - ME had Shepard  - DA: Origins you had a whole origin story which set you up pretty nicely for your merits and reasons to become a gray warden - even DA2 (good lord) had Hawke working their rear end of to become somebody even if a lot of that wasn't shown to you - Jade Empire you were the most promising student of a total loving badass wise master - KoTOR, probably? (I just remember you are a just a random guy waking up but I have no idea since I didn't finish it) Now, don't get me wrong, the idea of Alec Ryder being an arrogant and prideful rear end in a top hat that couldn't trust Cora the job (even though she palled around asari commandos with hundreds of years of experience before going in) and throws into the lap of their completely inexperienced kids; that would be a good setup for a lot of interesting poo poo to explore between relations. Instead so far all there is "PATHFINDER" and everybody shrugs and go "OMG ITS YUO" and welp nepotism
