FunkMonkey posted:I liked the one that said that Earth's orbit was so cluttered with 20th century satellite remnants that it was actually dangerous to try to break orbit if your ship didn't have shields. You probably already knew this but it's true. We're trapping ourselves on Earth with all the junk we're leaving in orbit.

I didn't think the gameplay was something anyone would complain about in ME3. Shooting space monsters and space bad guys with space guns was the best part of the game.

I really hope the game lets us play as huge gaping assholes. The renegade play throughs of the previous three were easily the most fun and I'm worried they're gonna lock us into playing a good guy that just reacts to different situations in slightly different emotional tones. There haven't seemed to be any really dickish response options in any of the gameplay we've seen yet.

Ein Sexmonster posted:I don't mean to say everything is perfect- I think we're all well aware that the animations are, in fact, hilariously bad. But Polygon, Kotaku, Eurogamer, and IGN all had generally good things to say. Don't those particular companies tend to say generally good things about everything? Like, the lowest review they'll give something is a 7/10? I'm pretty sure I saw a panel from one of those that said the game had a lot of bugs and crashed a lot more than they'd like.

Ein Sexmonster posted:The IGN preview from the press event said that yea- but the same reviewer said performance was fine in the MP build at PAX, and the performance from the various streams seems pretty good, although I only saw the PS4Pro and PC versions streamed myself. I hope it will be good and it looks ok. It's Mass Effect and long as it's not broken garbage I'll probably play it but keep in mind almost all of the footage we've seen has been from the first mission (which is going to have had the most polish of any part of the game put into it) and other sections Bioware has carefully selected as ok to show in reviews.

They solved it in the Milky Way after the Andromeda mission left. Same with the Geth and Quarians. In fact, all of the problems that existed in the Milky Way still exist as far as the Andromeda guys are concerned.

And I'm guessing when you tell them to go after something they probably use one of their abilities but I dunno exactly how that works. One of the streams I saw had a person playing it explain that you couldn't change your squadmate's skills at all and that we'd understand why later. Dunno if I missed it or it just didn't get explained but does anyone know what that means?

Holy poo poo. This review is scathing.Review posted:I’m at a loss. What I expect from BioWare is slightly dodgy combat, but splendid writing and characters. What I’ve seen so far is some decent enough combat (but nothing beyond what you’d expect in a third person shooter), and some of the most dreadful writing. I cannot emphasise enough how poor it’s been. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/03/14/mass-effect-andromeda-review-opening-hours/

Poops Mcgoots posted:Whether Bioware deserves it or not, I'm not sure, but I'm open to developers trying new things since the alternative is Ubisoft releasing a bunch of open world games where you climb towers to reveal a hundred icons on your map. If this does turn out to be Mass Effect Inquisition - and there are a lot of signs it fuckin' close - then that's pretty much what this game will be. What's the difference between opening up a camp site/forward base in Inquisition and climbing a bell tower in FC4? What's the difference between collecting all the codex pages in Inquisition and collecting all of the animus thingamabobs in Assassin's Creed?

Haledjian posted:This is pretty damning, but having just replayed the original trilogy, I'm kind of mystified at him saying he expects "splendid writing" from a Bioware game. All the stuff he's criticizing is thoroughly present in the first three games. My deal with DA and ME games is that they're the only game of that type there is. They've never told amazing stories or been incredibly well written, but yeah, they've been good enough. Just fun sci-fi/fantasy pulp. If other companies made these types of games I'm willing to bet they'd poo poo all over Bioware.

I expected to be glued to screen to see some new Mass Effect but there's nothing exciting going on at all in the first few hours of the game. Besides loving Peebee there's not a single character whose personality has stood out to me yet.

What other party based RPGs are there that aren't isometric turn based things that a lot of people don't have the patience for? E: More griping. I'm watching a mission they're on now and it's a cookie cutter copy of the ME2 mission to Horizon. Right down to the guy hiding and not wanting to help. Except it lacks all of the eeriness of the ME2 mission. Literally the exact same mission with the exact same objectives. Funky See Funky Do fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Mar 15, 2017 |

This is a more measured review from the guy that made that Reddit post for people that care about that sort of thing. If anyone wants to see footage for themselves but are worried about spoilers - I've watched pretty much all of the first 5 hours of the game and I promise you you're not going to get spoiled badly about anything important. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRA-137jF-4

FunkMonkey posted:You're just saying that because Asari are pretty much elves, Sera is fresh in our minds and PeeBee resembles her. Let's see if that ends up being vindicated! Peebee, from everything I've seen, is an improved Sera. Same kinda character but they dialed it back some. That being said she at least has a personality. I watched the initial meet and greets with all the companions couldn't really tell you anything about what kind of characters they are. Except that Drack is a Krogan and is exactly like a Krogan.

Apparently the 10 hours early access might not be 10 hours. It's more that you can play up to a certain point in the game or for 10h, whichever happens first. E: So nobody playing early access will be able to see things beyond which Bioware has permitted people with press copies to show/talk about.

Veotax posted:You can play up to the first open planet or something. It sounds like you can do all the content that's available on that planet at that point of the game but the game locks off progression after that point. So you spend ten hours wringing all the content out of that planet. Or play multiplayer. The guy I heard that from said he'd played all of the first planet, done all the side quests and talked to everyone and it came up to about 6 hours.
