Mass Effect Andromeda

Some gameplay. I like the look of it and some of the worlds were damn sexy!

and

Oh man, I just love these post-interstellar black hole renders.

Damn I want to play this. Been following a lot of Star Citizen's progress recently and this game would scratch the space itch that SC is unable to right now. Looks like this will have a lot of interesting worlds to explore!

Wish I had the funds to sink into another game!

In spite of the real silly mistakes (holding the gun backwards, dear god how) I find the facial animations kind of adorable when they really try to make them work, although it does completely destroy all of the more serious scenes between characters.

I don't know, I kind of want to buy this game more now.

I think they've put more work in to improve the rendering quality from BF4's Frostbite... but it's really hard to tell. Especially for an area you'd expect a Bioware game to get the most attention, people. Skin lighting, especially for the darker skinned characters, looks pretty bad in that video.

It's too fucking big lol, I am for the first time a bit interested in the franchise but who has the time to play something like this when Batman AK took me 70h tofibish the main quest (and playing some challenges).

Anyway in a news video they were saying there are 1200 talking characters, more than… I think ME 2&3 combined.

Watched some of the Giant Bomb stream and it really gave off the impression that this is done by Biowares B-team and just feels uninspired and under cooked. Even the main guy seems like a boring boyscout compared to Shepard. Writing was cringy and the faces ofc terrible but even the environments looked bland and by-the-numbers. Conceptually i like that they are going more open world with this franchise but it doesnt feel like Bioware/EA committed to this project the way the IP deserves. Im curious about the reception of the actual game but I dont have high hopes..

Mhh yea i was mildly interested in this but just in time i feel off put again by Bioware. I loved the first ME and DA but completely lost interest when the sequels came out.

So, who got burned on this?

I like the MP. Still going through the beginning of the SP. Not thrilled they scrapped the squad abilities control

I've never played Mass Effect or discussed it with anyone, so I have to ask. Based on that video, are humans in this universe not supposed to look like us due to evolution, or are the characters just made incredibly unattractive (subjective, sure)? Not critiquing, just finding it interesting.

My gowd, I've literally played ME1 12 or 13 times ....safe to say I like it, a lot ...
