Multiplat Mass Effect: Andromeda

[boydsno1]

Hate they brought driving back in. Hated that in the first game and was glad it was gone in the 2nd and 3rd.

RC edition sold out, can't justify that price, but just ordered the Nomad diecast edition. Still $259 but instead of a RC toy I'll never use it is a 1:18 diecast model of it. Too be honest all the special editions are uninspiring but I was determined to get some kind of keepsake of this game for no other reason than I just love Mass Effect (please don't be shit).

 

[nameless]

I got the collectors edition of 3 that came with an art book.

I think I'll just do the same for this, don't care for the Nomad. Maybe if it was the Tempest... Or a fish...

 

[dwwaino]

I was contemplating that version, but decided I won't be paying another cent after I use the birthday voucher thing for extra trade in so upgraded to a version that has something I won't box away and forget or lose. To be honest all the editions are underwhelming and any preorder DLC will be the same across all versions including standard.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

yeah not paying that for a remote control car

This def sounds like its going much harder on the rpg side of things

for example, devs have said on the relationships they will be less linear, less predictable, and some will just not be into you. Idea is some chars will be sluttier than others, while some you will have to work v hard just to be their mate

Talk is talk, but this is a good sign imo the idea of a focus on story and char development has definitely returned.

Had to laugh at one thing though. Apparently bioware were hit with complaints from lesbians that the girl on girl romances were too tame in me3 compared to the others, and they have been demanding more heat in me-a

 

[gaskin]

Fem Shep and Traynor got pretty steamy.

Dang, sounds more like a simulator.

lol - not quite. apparently the idea is to make the friendship and romance part of the game more realistic.

Like with Ashley. girl is mega space racist, then loves you despite the fact you employ a ship full of aliens. In ME2 you join a mega space racist club, so she hates you - even though she agrees with them on just about everything and you save her racist arse from collectors. then she joins up with you reluctantly in ME3, because she doesn't trust you because you're a space racist - even though she hates aliens, hates AI, and spends most of ME3 wearing a Make Earth Great Again hat. in spite of all this, you can still romance her, and she only stops thinking youre a space racist at the end of the friggin game

Thats about as realistic as thinking Conrad Verner is Spectre material!

*How ****ing boring is Kaiden though that most of the planet save Ashley even though she is a mega space racist who is pretty much universally hated

Has this been delayed again?

Gamespot.com has it as a December 2017 release...

Never played with Kaiden past Vermire. Only when I've seen friends play do they let him live. Sooooo boring

I keep going to save him when I do a reroll, and I just cant do it. even his back story is boring, his life sucks because he has headaches. your about to showdown with friggin Sovereign, and he's crying about a god damn headache?!?!?

Still an Autumn (Spring in the US) release as far as I am aware.

I think its a typo. Everything I've seen post the awards is still saying March 2017. Even the Pre-Order page on the Initiative site is saying Spring 2017

Would be just a placeholder date. Some items I've seen to do with it say Dec 31 2017.
Bioware themselves have things such as the art of book having a release date of March 21.

 

[Infra Ted]

When was the original release date?

When was the original release date?

Never had an official release date, but was slated for 2016 initially.

 

[gaskin]

Next Wednesday we get new gameplay and it is still set for a Spring 2017 release.

 

[TheKanga]

Spring for America.
Autumn for us.

Footy & Mass Effect

That is just terrific news

Not in a million years, Bioware is a garbage studio now; all their talent has left and they're now run by idiots.

Kind of like what they said about Dragon Age Inquisition.

Whoops.
