Multiplat Mass Effect: Andromeda

[2006_Eagles]

I dont know what to say.

and i cant believe the "Kill me now" thing was in the game, i thought it was just one of the memes making fun of the game.

I thought kill me now was a made up meme too but that was amazing

 

[Tbonefreo]

Have to stop reading reviews. Has given me a dragonage II vibe now. Thurs cant come quick enough

 

[pantskyle]

Ugh, looks like dirt.

Left is with the day one patch, right is without. What the **** were they trying to achieve?

Yeah i'm solidly in the wait for them to patch the **** out of this mess bracket.

They can patch the technical issues and maybe improve the facial animations although that's not even a dealbreaker for me. If the story and writing is as bad as many reviews have made out there's no salvaging this. How can a Mass Effect game or even a Bioware game in general have no meaningful decisions that alter the course of the game?

Spot on bulletride. Story and writing on a game like this is the priority, if that sucks then so does the game, regardless of how pretty it looks.

Quivorir, are you buying this game?

Space Jam without Michael Jordan and basketball.

I think they are both with day1 patch, the one on the right is just changed in the character customization.

Have you played a Mass Effect before?

Anyway 70's on metacritic is pretty damning for a game series that has always been critically acclaimed.
Eurogamer said it's ''Biowares worst RPG ever''

If you dont like the reviews think of it this way. Its still 50 points higher than the AFL game is going to get this year.

According to the post on Neogaf both are the default appearance. There's a video floating around too but its in Russian.

All the videos from the early access had the day1 patch.

IIRC the fixed looking one was from the "Quick start Sara"

No sir I have not.

So the game was over hyped?

So the game was over hyped?

The hype came from the pedigree (the series, not the actual team behind it), but there was a real sense of pessimism once footage started to be shown last year

Most games are over hyped.

Its just been a huge Q1 with games like RE7, Horizon and Zelda out preforming and actually living up to the hype.

Nier + Nioh as well.

No time for an average game this quarter.

With how some of the games have preformed im a little surprised this didnt get a last min delay, because it looks like it could use it.

Apparently this was written by the guy who did Halo 4 [ive never been a Halo fan but i think that one copped heaps of shit for the story].

ME3 Had some huge changes late in dev, so they could of changed things.

the actual original trilogy mass effect team are working on bioware's new ip this is the dregs with a few art designers thrown in

Its been known for years. But Bioware Edmonton doesnt have much of the core group from the first 3 games still there.

This was made by the same group who were working on a standalong mass effect multiplayer game which was then cancled and made unto ME3 multiplayer and changed from PvP into horde mode.

And Bioware Montreal has been working on this since finishing the Multiplayer stuff. Whilr Edmonton was working on ME3 Story DLC and some of the DLC was just stuff they had to cut from the game in production like the Omega DLC was cut from the game then built as DLC


Bioware Edmonton are working in a new sci-fi IP

actually still hyped for the game all the walkthroughs i have watched and have seemed enjoyable. hope it sells well so we get another game.

was reading neogaf apparently someone who worked on the game was telling about how since ea has taken over its all a boys club and if you speak out you get fired. sad to hear because kotor/mass effect are 2 of my fave games of all time

I think that was just the Montreal studio. But the bro culture and losing 12 leads was shocking.

But the devs being forced into crunch time for the last 6 months was bullshit. Thats 12hr days and only real break is 30mins for lunch before being back to work.

If it turns out to be real then i dont know how thr Montreal studio survives without a huge clean up

KotOR and NWN is why BioWare will always have a special place in my heart.
