So there is a Youtube video by Mass Effect Follower that lists his various suggestions on what to play before Andromeda's release, but I thought I would give my own two cents based on my gaming experience!
1. The Mass Effect Trilogy - this is the most obvious, as it both introduces new players to the legendary games and gives old players the chance to reconnect with their favorite characters.
2. Dragon Age: Inquisition - another obvious one seeing as it was the most recent Bioware game released and also uses the frostbite engine. I think it's a good way to give people an idea of what kind of graphic they can expect for Andromeda, and hopefully Andromeda will look just as good if not better.
3. Spore (the Galactic Stage) - this can be rather divisive among players on whether it's actually good or not (i mean, it can be a bit repetitive and you're mostly stuck on a ship). However, the Galactic Stage of Spore is all about going beyond your solar system and exploring new planets and encountering new alien life, with your choice of either being friends or enemies, much like what Bioware aims to do with Andromeda.
4. Star Trek Online - While I guess it's not choice based, it still contains the basic idea of building up a crew and your ship to explore an entire galaxy.
5. Star Wars The Old Republic - Whether it's the classic KOTOR series or the famous MMO, players can get their sci-fi fix by turning themselves into Jedi, smugglers, or soldiers, as they fight to save a galaxy from dark forces as either a hero or a villain.
Any other games you can think of? List them off here!

My trilogy run was totally interrupted when my laptop crashed, so I went to my parents and in the afternoon I booted up the old PS3 and decided to play a bit of ME1 on that. I got pretty hooked on my headcanon for that Shepard plus how badass he looked, so I decided to take my PS3 with me and I've been playing on that, so I'm finally in the midst of ME3 again with much different choices. So I plan on finishing that in a week or two.
I never beat Deus Ex Mankind Divided and it just got more DLC, so I think I'll go back to that unless life gets in the way.
I went to a Gamestop recently and found a bunch of 4$ games in a bin. I bought Binary Domain, Kingdoms of Amalur and Fallout New Vegas. I'm pretty excited to play either of them, but I'll probably go with Binary Domain or Fallout before I dare sink into Kingdoms.
I still subscribe to SWTOR but my laptop is gone so... I was curious to see the new expansions for the story-content though.

Looking forward to Torment coming up. Maybe play around with Horizon, but not sure on that one.

After finishing Resident Evil 7, I've just restarted ME1 and hoping to play the whole me trilogy through again with different choices. After that I suppose there will be Horizon Zero Dawn out for release and if I'm done way before that, I'll take another run of RE7

Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters. Play or Watch the classic that inspired Mass Effect.
I think its downright criminal this masterpiece never got a sequel it deserved.

I'll be playing Horizon: Zero Dawn when that drops.
I'm a huge fan of the science fiction setting Numenera, but I'm highly skeptical of the upcoming game Torment: Tides of Numenera. I will need to hear phenomenal things from many people, and get a greatly discounted price, in order to buy a game presented in such a dated format. While there are a couple of "positives" offered by text-based RPGs, the majority of the advantages are had by the developer in the form of lesser development costs. I hope it ends up offering a great story and being worth my time, but its gameplay looks horrific.
I find myself enticed by fewer and fewer games, these days. It's unfortunate, in a way, since I have far more time to game than in years past. If MEA is to my liking, I imagine I'll be playing it for years to come, as I have done with the OT.

I'll be occupied with For Honor till release I think. Now I just need to finish my playthrough of Deus Ex Mankind Divided before that. Maybe I can squeeze in some Horizon before MEA as well I'm intrigued by Torment, but I guess I'll do as you ElementZero and wait for opinions and reviews.

I still haven't been able to get around to playing the second expansion pack to the game that shall not be named (Wiedźmin 3); reportedly it's almost as big as the previous major installment (Wiedźmin 2) in that series of games that shall not be named.
Also, the new DOOM. I bought it months ago, but haven't launched it even once yet.
Once my existing stack of work is finished ... which is going really well, because I'm totally not eternally procrastinating, and spending my time instead on forums. Definitely not.

Currently, I am at the End of my latest playthrough on the Mass Effect Series.
I'd recommend The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the entire Dragon Age Series. Fallout 3/NV or 4.

I was just thinking that if i finish my current MET playthrough early, and I likely will, of hopping on Skyrim. Never 'finished' the game and I doubt I will this time but it might be a fun way to kill a little time before the game comes up.

I actually prefer to play dissimilar games when approaching a big launch. I don't want to play the entire Mass Effect trilogy right before a fourth installment comes out. No matter how great a series it is, I may just be burnt out after that.
I just wrapped up The Witcher 3 for the second time and now I'm going into the Final Fantasy X and X-II games on steam. Should be quite the contrast from Andromeda!

I am re-playing Witcher 3 right now. With any luck, that might keep me busy till ME:A. I was thinking about doing a trilogy replay right before ME:A but I decided against it. For one thing, I don't want to tire myself out on Mass Effect before even starting ME:A, for another, I predict that one of the biggest problems I will have with ME:A is how its story/background violates established ME lore (just like pretty much every ME game has done since ME1). So it might be better to view this just as a rather fresh and unrelated reboot more than something that has much to do with the old games. So Witcher 3 it is and if I finish that before end of March, I was thinking about going a second time through Black Mesa ... or maybe I'll just take a bit of a break from a real run through anything and just stick with the odd hour in the Star Citizen alpha for a while, you know, 'cause spring is coming.
