here's my hot take: the Geth will be in this they'll be in it because you'll show up to some random planet and there'll be geth and they'll be like "Ryder-Pathfinder we decided to go here 10 years before you did. Also we're friendly now."

ME1 has this very relaxed pace that lets you explore at your own leisure. It's weirdly a very quiet game -- if you're cruising in a planet on the Mako often all you'll hear is the wind and your engine. ME2 hauls off like a freight train immediately and keeps throwing you in these sharp, lean half-hour missions. It's kind of like an action TV show. ME3, I dunno, it's kind of weirdly-paced. there is a lot of theoretical urgency undercut by your ability to tool around the galaxy. like you can straight up leave the Tuchanka and Rannoch systems during their respective arcs and come back

Trast posted:A lot of platinum came down to teamwork and quality of gear. A vanilla adept did fine in platinum because they were great for causing combos with another player. I might be wrong but the vanilla vanguard might have been too squishy for platinum compared to the krogan or batarian. Vanguards always had the problem of their primary ability being one bad choice away from a wave-ruining sync kill

Trast posted:Sync kills were the loving worst. The game was tense enough on high levels without that hand wavey bullshit. yeah getting close to a high-level enemy should be risky but the risk shouldn't be "at random times you will automatically die with no warning or ability to avoid it" they should just smack you real hard or something

Trast posted:The Banshees would use their sync kill constantly. Brutes and Atlas units seemed to do it at a much more reasonable pace. You'd have to really tempt fate with them to get their sync kill to fire. But with a Banshee just being near one triggered the granny hug of death. the phantoms were the worst because sometimes they'd just run straight through a million bullets and stab you at least banshees were a bit predictable

https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/5c9sdu/im_joe_juba_the_writer_of_game_informers_mass/ GameInformer AMA on Andromeda: "So, here's the thing about other races: 4 specifically came to Andromeda on the Arks (Turian, Salarian, Human, Asari). However, the Nexus (which is kind of like Andromeda's version of the Citadel) was sent ahead of the Arks, and the Nexus had a more varied staff. I don't know specifically which other races (apart from Krogan) got to Andromeda via the Nexus, but theoretically, it could be any of them. At the same time, because this is the fresh start for the series, I don't think the team wants to overwhelm players with a bunch of weirdo aliens, so don't expect ALL of them to show up. If I had to bet, I'd say Quarians will be there. I wouldn't be so confident in C-tier species like Vorcha, Batarians, etc..." more than that in the link, but that's kinda interesting

from the AMA Q: i guess that the visual and narrative are similar to the previous Mass Effects, but, what is the first big difference you notice? A: That's actually a really tricky question. Chronologically speaking, I don't know what the first big difference is that players will notice. But, from a broader perspective, the biggest change I noticed was the drive toward more player-guided exploration. Like, you know how doing side content in previous games always felt a little silly, because the world was basically ending and you were sitting there scanning for minerals or chilling in a dance club? In Andromeda, part of your directive is just "Explore and find a place where people can live." That's a pretty wide narrative pathway that means pretty much anything you choose to do is contributing your ultimate goal. So you can do whatever seems fun to you – mining, crafting, loyalty missions, even entire optional planets – and all of it is part of your mission. Of course, I'm sure Ryder faces some sort of threat, too. It's not just "My Andromeda Vacation," but the team at BioWare really seems to be focusing on the sense of discovery first and foremost.

exquisite tea posted:When people say the game looks like fun, you do realize that we haven't seen anything about Andromeda outside of some prefab cutscenes and "this is the new poo poo" clips of space marines in jet packs. It'll probably be a Mass Effect game for a lot of people a Mass Effect game scratches a certain itch so long as the quality isn't "completely terrible"

also remember the Kett aren't the only new aliens in this game maybe they'll look a bit standard and others will push the boundaries a bit alternately they're proof that the game is ruined, idk

evilmiera posted:The cure for the genophage wasn't massively advertised before the arks went out. After all, it wasn't deployed until about the middle of the Reaper invasion and the only people who knew about it were the Salarians and the Krogan already on Tuchanka. The arks went out at least a few months before the proper Reaper invasion. There's no real reason why a clan or so of Krogan wouldn't tag along on a journey someplace the rest of the galaxy wouldn't have an opinion on them and might let them settle in peace. Of course, the Salarians might try and sabotage their ship in some way or hamper their efforts but not outright stop them from traveling abroad since all that means is hey, less Krogan around for the next 600 years and a greater chance they'll never regain their numbers. counterpoint: mass effect 3 was the only game without a krogan squadmate and we all saw how THAT turned out
