Suddenly I remembered people on reddit and neogaf saying they would preorder the most expensive version to spite us "alt right nazis". Who's laughing now?
Oh no....please, don't spend your parent's m- I mean, your hard earned money on a barely functional shit game, thus funding the studio to produce even more shit on an abbysmal schedule while the rest of us spend the money we save on cheaper and actually well made games. We couldn't handle you hitting yourself in the face some more. Aaaah.
Imagine thinking you're expressing your political views by paying money to a soulless corporation for a (eventually) shitty game you can't even play right now.
I keep thinking back to when I tried to warn people when the trailers came out, only to get shit on by fanboys. Then I picture their reaction playing it day one, then laugh.
What about the testictuar reflection of your point that holds any value in biologically profound argument that supports millions of years of diverse life and response too?
Bioware makes a bad Mass Effect game - Studio gets downsized and franchise is put on hold Eidos Montréal makes an atrocious Thief game - Sequel and movie in the works Eidos Montréal makes a fantastic Deus Ex sequel - Franchise abandoned for Marvel shovelware I was already certain that there is no god, but I'm beginning to suspect that the devil might actually be real
But... but... but... andromeda have all the political correct progressive values, so I have to believe it is the best mass effect game ever, ever. ANITA AKBAR!
Isn't this just standard EA MO? Buy a company, run its top franchises into the ground over the course of a few installments, then retire the IP entirely when it stops being profitable. Then find another beloved company to acquire and repeat.
The gameplay montage to rock music you put together was 1 million times more exciting and engaging than anything Bioware and EA did to market this heap. You made the game look like actual fun.
Every time someone brings up the "My face is tired" line, I have to wonder: Was the voice acting budget so small that they had to include the outtake reel into the main game? It sounds like the VA was whining about having to emote for the facial capture software one too many times..
The opposite It was done deliberately after the fact, because the animations were so bad, they figured you'd believe it. "Oh. Her face is just tired"..
+KaiserShep look up the "gender spectrum" clips from his new show...I honestly hope it was a contract thing, like he HAD to do it, but it more than likely wasn't.
Yeah you're right, Mass Effect is learning from Fallout by making a hugely fun and immersive world. I had no bugs or glitches. The game was incredible and don't regret any of the hundreds of hours I put into it. One of the best games I've played in a long time. Maybe people just aren't giving it a chance and just gave up playing it after 5 minutes after being influenced by some superbly dumb bad reviews lol.
I remember when I commented on one of the combat trailer videos, and I got massive (see what I did there) shit from fanboys for writing that the role playing from the game was gone. They replaced it with jet packs, and having and all encompassing "Jesus" class in which you can switch out any and all powers. That wasn't enough though, because they then took away the ability to give your squad commands, killing any strategic combat element and the combo system with it. Why have a combo system, when you can't coordinate anything with your squad mates? Because Bioware is full of idiots, and they killed a franchise with a winning formula by changing or taking away most of the role-playing elements the series is know for.
Take a look at Smudboy's videos on why he boycotts ME Andromeda. One of the reasons he gives is how Bioware Montreal's work culture is horrible. How there's so much backstabbing that it mirrors an all-girls' high school. Personal agendas run wild, there's little semblance of organization, and anyone who tries to fix things gets singled out as a troublemaker. Couple that with an SJW obsession with inclusion over gameplay concerns, and you have the perfect recipe for a disaster. At least Bioware Austin seems to have some semblance of competency, having made SWTOR somewhat profitable.
I was some hackneyed plot point to justify not explaining the ME3 ending and what the fuck actually happened. Cause no we don’t want to see the results of three games worth of decisions we want to have some retcon sequel bait BS.
Something that bothers me about this game is that """female""" Ryder smiles a fucking everything. When """she""" tells the crew """her""" father is dead, there's nothing but fucking smiles while everyone else is horrified and trying to process their leader dying. But yeah, hopefully the series is in limbo now. It honestly should've ended after 3, botched ending and all.
I'm getting sick of all the PC characters they now use in games...that is why I haven't bought a game in quite a while...black males, black females taking over original white characters...next well will have a diaabled transgender character leading across the stars...
Well ... i think that was already done a while ago. Remember Starcraft ... and the Overmind? Its a rough shot, but i think technicaly this leader checkes most of those boxes ;) And let`s be honest. Different kinds of chars could be interesting. If done correctly. And not like till now like "i´m a X/Y/Z and thats my only defining trait - and i`m badly/lazy written and riding on a wave of talentlessly done pc-ploitation"
Hmm well I don't there's any thing wrong with the facial animation. And on the odd occasion when it does glitch or something it's just funny and completely forgiveable, particularly given the high quality of the game (like Skyrim). I completed the game 100% and loved every minute of the hundreds of hours spent playing it! When does she smile weirdly when talking about ther father dying? I hear a lot of people vehemently complaining about the facial animation, but you know you can make your own Ryder, right? If you don't like the default one? I made my own Ryder and she looked great throughout. I guess there is the occasional funny expression but only a few times in the entire game and for me if was just more awkward and amusing than anger inducing and didn't detract from the rest of the game. Overall the facial animation were great. The graphics in this game are incredible! All the different worlds and up in space are particulaly beautiful not to mention vast and spectacularly impressive! One of the best games I've ever played. It has refuelled my interest in space, sci-fi and the Mass Effect universe. Superb experience and one of the most immersive and fun times I've had in ages
You know what I don't get? For all the crowing of diversity by the devs, when it came time to do a gay Krogan they gave him the most stereotypical gay voice this side of a latter day Family Guy episode. I mean... what even?
+kindle they wouldn't be so bold *looks up anthem* sweet mother teresa on the hood of a mercedes-benz that's a world record for amount of sharks jumped.
Thank Dean Takahashi for sucking so bad at mass effect 1 that he forgot to level up his characters. And if you're wondering who he is, he's the guy who gave us the cuphead terrible gameplay.
This is true, but against all odds, ME2 still managed to be an amazing game. While it lost the unique identity ME1 had, it did almost everything else better than ME1. The combat remains the best in the series.
The shallow writing and especially in character development and animation really shines what a disaster it is. I don't mind all these different group identities but do you have to advertise them all the time like you are in some sort of commercial?
As somebody whose first RPG was Baldur's gate 2, this video is painfull to see. It isn't just seeing Bioware degrading in front of my eyes, it was seeing Bioware improving themselves a little bit with DA:I and then turn out this thing. And the game wasn't what pissed me off the most. It was the reaction of a lot of people who i used to trust telling me that the game was okay. It wasn't that bad end we were just judging a game by a GIF. Go watch Razorfist's video of DA 2 again. The whole Olive Garden rant. That line where the people shouted at you for calling the game a piece of shit. It was the same thing all over again. I haven't played a Bioware since DA 2 and I remember everything on how every little critisism people dared to make about their games was met with snarky little articles decrying us as "gamingbros who hate everything new" I laughed my ass of seeing TB going at it for two whole weeks acting with nothing but snark and cynical twitter remarks on "how the game isn't the plague, man" and "you just have rose-tinted goggles about MA1, man", right until the point Jesse Cox, a massive Bioware fan had to admit that ME: A wasn't good. Well Bioware fans, game-journalists and people trying to find the most snarky twitter responds, look upon ye works and marvel at the shit you made. This is the wor you have helped create? Now live in it.
I don't understand all the negativity towards Andromeda, it was THE funniest game I have ever seen in my life. Hours of hilarity on You Tube would not exist without it.
ShootingStar You know, if you've told me this prior to release I would have called you crazy and said you are overreacting. But something tells me that if I did, I would've eaten my own words.
I highly recommend these guys,they're like 80's Bon Jovi,from the ''Slippery When Wet''-era,but with a guitarist who's actually good and does Jake E.Lee-style riffing and soloing.The singer,Eric Martenson has also a side-project,with Jeff Scott Soto(Yngwie Malmsteen,Axel Rudi Pell,Talisman),called W.E.T. which is also cool 80's hardrock.
I'm so glad I could watch this colossal failure of a game and company fuck up, its been so entertaining to watch the fanboys wallow in their denial to justify their purchase. I can't wait till the AAA industry crashes and burns under the weight of its own bullshit and corporate scummery. RIP Not Bioware, you will not be missed.
The voice acting is some of the worst I've ever heard in a AAA game series. The most seasoned (and only one I recognize) is Clancy Brown and he's barely in the fucking game
The Land Before Time sequels was made by Universal Animated Studios, But anyways Universal Studios wanted more Land Before Time sequels, so they fired then head of Universal Animated Studios Jeff Segal. And then canceled his show Exosquad, saying kids would not understand Exosquad, even that Exosquad's ratings was pretty high. So, they killed Exosquad to make more room for The Land Before Time sequels. Thank you Universal Studios for fucking us over.
Razorfist.....YOU, SIR are a writer and a HALF! I LOVE YOUR CONTENT! I am a political moderate, so I dont agree with all of your views....but I legitimately admire and listen to you as the ONLY Trump apologist that I would actually consider the views of. Thank you for what you do!
Honest to God, I was replaying this game for some reviews I have coming up on a FB page of mine(I'd do it on my own website, but I have no money) and I encountered a mission in this game that made me straight-up delete the game. Up until such a pint, I'd have a jolly good time laughing my ass off as how badly and weirdly written some missions were in this game, then I landed on Eos and got into a Kett facility. I repeatedly threw myself at them, and then came one of the more strategic attempts at this. Over the course of the fight, I had ducked repeatedly into a wall that was acting as a safeguard while my allies were either getting killed of bumble-fucking about, only to find my Ryder stuck because he was incapable of circumnavigating a pile of small rocks at his feet. For one full minute, I'd been trying to get myself unstuck, which didn't work until I used that shield biotic power to get free. Not five second later til my character's full health and shields evaporated like anybody threatening the power of Unions. And then came what happened when I got in the damn thing. When I got in after putting my teeth, nose and forehead to the grindstone, I found a ring big enough to hold Moviebob aloft, with two consoles: one where I entered, and one in the center and only accessible from running about this place. While under gunfire from repeating ass loads of Kett that literally had me screaming "WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THESE BASTARDS COMING FROM!?!" i managed to get to the other side with both terminals deactivated and all shields down. Then I promptly died to enemies I hadn't seen prior. When I came back, I found myself at what was my previous death site, with both Terminals alleviated of tampering , and everything on red alert. Seriously, either save my progress and start me off from where I die or start me off from a few minutes prior. Don't wave a middle finger in my face while splitting the difference
I almost had a similar situation with Resident Evil 6. I was at the very end of the Leon campaign of the game and I had to climb up a rope to get to the top of a building. I followed all the prompts it was giving me but once I got to a certain point Leon fell all the way back to the start. I tried again and same thing, then again, then again, AND AGAIN. I had no clue what I was doing wrong, I pressed each trigger it told me to when it told me and I managed to successfully climb up to that point every time, then suddenly I fall right back to the start. It was so damn infuriating that I was close to shoving my controller through the screen and I just rage quit and stopped playing. If it wasn't for the fact that I picked it back up and suddenly managed to get past this point, I would have never finished that campaign. I still don't know what the issue was, the second attempt I held the triggers in and that may be the solution but I didn't do that the first time and still managed to climb up until that one point so I am still clueless on what I kept fucking up.
I liked the first hour of Andromeda it reminded me of star trek Voyager and meeting that first alien species i was all on board. Game was deleted and thrown into the trash a day later
I actually decided to give this game a shot. I played it for 20 minutes, put it down and found something actually fun to do. Haven't bothered with it since. Was it a waste of money? You bet. Did I learn from it? Absolutely. Haven't touched BioWare since.
Theres actually a newly discovered Easter Egg in Mass Effect 3, go to the bathroom, look in the toilet, and you'll find a copy of Mass Effect Andromeda.
I can't remember if this was just rumors or if it's something that they actually did but someone said that they intentionally made the girls look less attractive
