ME2 was great but yeah, outfits on some of the female characters were not good! like there's one mission where you're on the Derelict Reaper which is in orbit over a gas giant and you go out on a catwalk and Jack is there with a rebreather over her nose and mouth and otherwise not very well clothed, which seems dangerous! much better in ME3 where even Liara's default outfit at least looks like it could be armored and you can switch her to proper armor with a proper helmet

Doctor Nutt posted:I don't actually think the line itself is that bad, it was in the process of all the other stuff you mentioned being completely terrible that it came off the way it did as an absurd laughingstock. Like, imagine some weary administrator rattling off "my face is tired" as a hyperbolic way to describe feeling like poo poo, it's not that far-fetched. Unfortunately no one on the Mass Effect team at that point was singly or collaboratively capable of doing work that made it work. yeah it's like, ME2 had some weird poo poo in it like that weird Shepard grin but the game rocked so no one really cared. With MEA you couldn't point to very much good to outweigh the bad the worse line in her thing is when she goes "sorry, I'm resorting to poetry" after saying something not particularly poetic

Inquisition owned because I got to kick the annoying elements out of the Inquisition. This is crucial, I think—in the case of Liam he puts the entire mission in jeopardy by divulging state secrets to a rando and the WORST you can say is “oh, you!” Like I never kick anyone out but the option to do so is crucial

The rest of the crew took some time to grow on me, but most of them did. Also, Jaal’s stare down with the Roekaar leader where he gets shot in the face was bad rear end, don’t care who you are. That moment was cool as gently caress. I’ll give MEA this: it’s honestly impressive how much post-game dialogue your crew has. I think there are like four or five full convos

BrianWilly posted:I've said this before in regards to Andromeda, but one of the main design problems is that there are no real fail conditions. If you make the mistake of clicking buttons in the vicinity of your companions, they will end up liking you and you'll bloody deal with it. This sums it up well. Previous ME/DA games have the possibility of characters dying or hating you. MEA does not, and I believe it’s due to the team’s perception that the core of Mass Effect is bonding with your crew ... which is correct. Except it only has meaning if you CHOOSE to do that. I go out of my way to keep my party alive and solve all their problems and generally be Commander Friend but I need the option NOT to do that, otherwise it’s not really a choice, is it?

kilus aof posted:It more that that, with the exceptions of Neverwinter Nights(where the single player was an afterthought), Sonic(maybe never played it) and SW: The Old Republic(an MMO which removed things like companion deaths because players would be short handed) every Bioware game always tried something new with companions. Some new mechanic or system. So every new game there was a potential interesting new situation with companions that wasn't in a Bioware game before. Mass Effect Andromeda added nothing new. Every single thing it did was in a previous Bioware game. Which would be okay if they did things exceptionally well but they didn't. It is the least confident game I have ever played, everything in it is slotted in from a previous game with the desperate hope that it’ll have the same emotional impact absent its proper context

It’s still unbelievable to me that BioWare wanted to make a Mass Effect game — a series which purports to have memorable characters and interesting missions — with hundreds of procedurally generated planets. You literally cannot have both of those in the same game and yet they thought they could pull it off because ???

Andromeda is a game where some of the fetch quests will tell you to go to five areas to find a thing, only whether or not the thing spawns in one of those areas is random, so you have to go back to the Tempest and then back on the planet if it doesn't

chaosapiant posted:This is more or less my view as well. I prefer all three games the trilogy, but Andromeda is a good game with a lot of filler content. Content that you can ignore and focus on the good stuff like the ark quests and loyalty quests, and poo poo like movie night. The fact that the game is as good as it is knowing the development hell it went through is mind boggling to me they had essentially built the game in 18 months, which is on par with Dragon Age 2’s Dev time. And while I truly love Dragon Age 2, Andromeda dwarfs it in scope. Not all that scope is good, but it’s better than having one cave where the exits just get blocked off depending on what quest you’re on. Movie night is a fetch quest that lasts like 20 hours though
