MEA vs Other Games of 2017/2018 Hype, reviews, mechanics, story, marketing, personal ranking

Andromeda is stomping the competition this year and I see no game that could challenge it until Bioware's next major release. I thought Zelda and Persona 5 were the only chances, but Zekda ended up being absolute shit and Persona 5 a mess of poor ideas and bad writing.

There could be a surprise out there but I doubt it...

Unless you are trolling....


You're the first person I've heard say they didn't like Zelda.  I thought I wouldn;t like it, but I was hooked instantly.  I have my complaints about it, but after trying to replay Horizon or Mass Effect, i kept finding myself wanting to climb everything.  HZD could really improve its climbing system in the next game using some like Zelda BOTW but I'm thinking more by using the robots.  Aloy can ride other bots hopefully in HZD2 that can climb mountains, fly/gluide off cliffs, surf behind, ride on water, etc.  MEA needs more overworld boss encounters, Dynamic/Traveling NPCS, and better rewards/conclusions for doing sidequests like BOTW.


I know nothing of Persona but Japanese High School Anime is not appealing to me.   

Yes. Andromeda had a hood story, fun characters, great combat, the nomad, wonderful exploration, and is actually improving with each patch.

Breath of the Wild, while I expected greatness, delivered a god awful durability system, a shallow and boring world, terrible filler in enemy placement and lazy shrine design, poor characters, pathetic story, shit dungeons, brain dead menu system, outdated open world design (or blatantly ripping off Elder Scrolls and Minecraft), and vomit inducing graphical style. This game can only be considered good if you hardly ever play actual good games.

Persona 5... it has moments it lives up to its franchise, unlike the above Zelda abortion, but it still stumbles a lot. The dungeon design was tedious with backtracking and battling forced on the player, the wrting was juvenile (if you call ME:A poor writing and not this you lose all rights to discuss the quality of writing), the characters were stilted, and the calendar system railroaded players far too much. P5 was mediocre, especially compared to the heights of P3 and P4.

Andromeda's only sins are that it didn't continue off Shepard and it is Bioware.... in the internet trolldom, those are the worst crimes in gaming apparently.

Well, I was kinda joking about that part.

arent those physical copies though? considering every pc player bought a digital copy, and maybe half of console players now buy digital copies.  MEA's numbers would be much less when Zelda BOTW is only sold as physical copies. 

Here are my games for this year :

I was just opened Nier and Persona i did not even played with them.

Nioh was my first game this year, i was very enjoyed it and played all the missions on higher difficulties. Not as great as Dark Souls III but it is one of the best video games i played on the PS4 console. Nioh is a mix between stylish action game and action-RPG style set in the old japanese ancient world filled with myth, war and magic. Absolutely recommended game for the fan of the Team Ninja games and fan of the stylish action games ( Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta ).

Right now im playing my 3rd Ryder Sarah on insanity, literally speedrunning, doing only the priority mission. I was saved the Moshae on Level 10 with Avenger 1 and Predator 1 it was cool. I was researched the X5 Ghost III and Heleus Defender Armour + Helmet III easy to buy the required materials from shops on Aya and Nexus, however researching them was tough because there is more than 300 Milky Way Research point is needed only for the Ghost alone.
Mass Effect Andromeda is not the worst game in 2017. I think. The bad marketing and rushed release of the game made this title dissappointing but im still not bored from MEA.
And not the best game of this year of course. Mass Effect Andromeda is a victim of witch hunt.


Im excited for Prey as well. Im interested in Prey because it is similar to System Shock 2 but for me SS2 is not enjoyable anymore. And i like Bioshock franchise as well. Prey is on huge space station, many options to complete the game, the game is complex and even looks nice but not great.
So if i will get anything more in this year, 2017, that game is going to be Prey.

Im watching Horizon Zero Dawn and i can say that visually no other game can surpass Guerilla Games newest title. Horizon is visually stunning and after Horizon everything i played before, everything looks ugly. And im serious about this.
However, i don't like Horizon at all, because Aloy's character cannot been customized before starting the game, at least her face should been customized.
Secondly the RPG elements are toned down in Horizon, similar to Far Cry 3. I don't understand why Horizon is an action RPG and not an action adventure game.

Another amazing J-RPG this year besides Persona 5 ?
Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age.
It is one of my favourite PS2 titles. And im excited for this game because this game finally comes with the International Zodiac Job System expansion and with stunning graphics, cgi remastered for 1080p.


And im waiting for new announcements in E3 2017.

Nothing comes remotely close to Red Dead Red 2 in terms of hype, potential critical acclaim and sales. It'll be the only game people will remember from this year in years gone by.

If you are excited by Destiny 2 or Battlefront 2 you should consult a doctor about your lack of taste receptors.

I'm secure in my statement. Clearly we can't say the same for you and the pic only response. How original. I'm totally convinced by your eloquent opinion. That is sarcasm by the way.

I gave you a like for Red Dead. Destiny is by far one of the funniest games to play with your clan/group of friends. Cannot wait for the D2 strikes, raids, loot, trials, and newly revamped open world and vehicles.

We get the open word ocean planet to explore that people here were wanting in MEA. And having a good story with more to do in the open world besides patrols will be a nice change

The pitiful game design, setting, world building, rng/light system and dlc practices soured me on Destiny for good. I won't be fooled again and Bungie clearly hasn't learned a gaddamned thing.  If the Metacritic average is above 90 I might give it a shot when the complete edition hits the bargain bin about 3 years later. I find the very idea of supporting Activision repulsive.

I've always wanted an Assassin's Creed in Ancient Egypt but I've hated what Ubi have done with the series for years although it's apparently from the Black Flag studio so cautiously optimistic on that one.

Black Flag was good but at this point it's a diamond in a sea of dross.
