Mass Effect Andromeda (General feedback thread)

I don't know if this can be considered a spoiler but I would like to know; if you choose a different name for your sibling will your character call him/her by the first name?

That was about companions and npc's I was referring to your sibling. Its a little weird you have to hear him/her call the other 'Ryder" the whole game.

Still holds true. Your twin will only address you by your first name if you stick with the default Scott/Sara. Additionally, as per my understanding (hopefully someone will chime in here as I'm not 100% on this), you cannot rename your twin.

I have a potentially dumb question: are the ten hours of available playtime counted while in game? Or is it like renting a movie on Amazon and once you start, the clock starts ticking?

But it's anywhere in game, so if you go afk while on the starting screen, you'll be eating up your time allotment. 

If anyone can't get the game to launch, where it just shows a black windowed screen, try uninstalling the Corsair Utility Engine. I had to do that to get the game to launch properly. Ian, you may want to check into why Andromeda is having problems with that. I've seen it elsewhere on the internet too.

If you're on PC, I've heard that uninstalling "Corsair Utility Engine" is the fix for that.

If you're not... I don't know what to tell you.

I'm on PC, but I don't have Corsair utility engine, thanks tho.

Update regarding my stuff:

Somehow the game won't even start a process now (after installing the latest Nvidia drivers).

Either the remaining hours change your mind, or I'd suggest cancello the the preorder and wait for reviews/let's play, and decide if you want to buy it later on.

I bought the game already for my xbox one, I signed up for Origin access to try the game on my PC. I downloaded the trial but it's not midnight yet by me so I guess I can't play it, but I just checked and it says I have 8 hours remaining to play. it says I've played 2 hours already? how did this happen?

I haven't had the pleasure of playing the game yet, but from what I have seen of the game (because i couldn't contain myself) is the following:

CC:
The CC needs a lot of work and feels like your stuck with not so flattering presets. It would be awesome if we could make changes to the default ryder! More hair style options, and long haired options for men and more beards. Being able to change hair style, make up etc. later in game. The hair colours look off. The eyes on humans look off too. Option to put eyelash make up on (you can barely see characters eyelashes).

Powers:
So i spent countless hours in MP and i fell in love with the N7 fury, I was greatly disappointed by annihilation(field).The smokiness looks somewhat good, but could be more apparent to really get the amazing charm and magic feel this power (and character) had back from me3. In me3 the field looked organic and alive, now it looks more mechanical with the add of a circle. You could easily tell the enemy was affected in me3 by the visuals. Im sad to see the visuals being compromised and combat being dumbed down.
Id love to see a similar teleportation dash, power or the like, in the future.

i have some concerns regarding some powers and the like listed below, but since i haven't played ill get back on that.

Annihilation field suffered a lot of nerfs on the power. The last evo with shield and power penalty.
Nova is now a primer.
Overload can only detonate
Incinerate can only prime.
Krogan heavy melee charge is gone.
no reload cancel and possibly no claymore

The good stuff:

Me1 style guns!
The environment is stunning

Jaal

Looking forward to add more positives once ive played it. I really cant wait to play the game!

When your 10 hrs are up you won't be able to play the SP or MP until the actual release date.
