MESS effect Andromeda (spoilers)

Surprise! You will get to pay for the privilege of tying up those loose ends in DLCs.

1.agreed, is a little disappointing on the music not being so in your face like the previous games, I am able to put it aside however, especially when it seems to be what most games these days do.

2. I disagree on this one. While they don't all tie into the main plot, they are extras for those interested and can be ignored for those who dislike them. Don't force yourself to play dude quests if you're not interested.

3. "A salarian and woman" your point? Joker is just a human, even I could make the old crew sound bland if I chose to. Don't forget the OT had three games to flesh out most of those characters where as Andromeda is just getting started. Honestly going by just the starter of each trilogy (if Andromeda gets that chance) I'd put Andromedas characters over my baby ME1.

4. Assuming this is about the mystery benefactor and the jien Garson case, I'll agree it was disappointing to not see the conclusion, but as another said, expect DLC to finish that one off.

5. I think you're downplaying the ending. We established trust with the Angarans, establish a diplomat in a sense for all the cluster races to help shape the future of their relations, learn of the kett being bigger than just the Archon and being a threatening empire that we will most likely see for the rest of the trilogy (again, if given the chance), we learn the Angarans true origins and we still have the scourge to deal with. Oh, and there's still an entire galaxy to explore and continue Ryder's story (although I'd love them to expand and let us pick our own race to play as, give me an Asari pathfinder). I completely agree the final battle sucks, not really a boss fight to me but more so just kill the mobs, shoot the architect head and boom, cutscenes to finish it. I do honestly think andromeda has the best ending of all the mass effect however. It sets up a sequal perfectly and does give you questions that a sequal or future DLC can resolve, but it still gives you plenty of answers.

I like Andromeda, but the pacing of this game is really terrible.

It took me 100 hours to clear it, and while I enjoyed the party banter while out exploring planets, the sheer amount of "tasks" was atrocious. It started to grate on me by the midway point.

I don't think BioWare has to live in shame because of CDProjektRed, but they SHOULD look at The Witcher 3 as far as sidequests go. They don't have to be THIS generic and grindy, and if they can overcome that for the sequel, they'll be in great shape.

I know I can skip most of them on replays, and that's exactly what I'll do, but I'd prefer them to put more effort into it instead.

2. not all the side quest are extras to the main story a big part of them are just going to one planet to another and personally i prefer the mass effect 2 and 3 way to complete quest.

3. you want to comapre those two idiot to jeff moreau and EDI?

5.i've complete the game at 90% circa before the start of the final mission. And i'm so sad that everyone considerate DLC a normal thing used to complete the story.... DLC should be extra stories to add in the main one like cdproject did in the witcher 3 

2. I see, you're wanting it to be more linear then. Ehh, I don't mind linear, but I prefer the exploration aspect of Andromeda. My issue with sidequests is having to come back and forth between worlds over one quest. Or finishing a quest, getting to tempest, get an email only to head right back, especially annoying on kadara because those doors take ages to open compared to the rest of the hub worlds.

3.what exactly makes you think suvi andkalloare idiots? Kallohas proven he can drive through the scourge (as I'm sure joker can as well). Both seem competent pilots that would be better than most others. The tempest also doesn't rely off an AI like the Normandy did so I can't compare EDI to SAM, however SAM enhances combat if the pathfinder where as EDI didn't. Suvi is just like Samantha trainer if you ask me, both with scientific minds but not necessarily playing a big role.

5. I agree 100% on dlc shouldn't be required to finish a story, I'm just saying odds are that's what they'll do here. I'd prefer they continue off the sequels instead, make those questions bigger, give them more depth and meaning. Make andromeda 2 be about why the initiative was started, what it's true purpose really is, the roles of the key figures, etc etc. I still see them doing that by dlc instead, and I see the sequal being about another cluster as well as getting a war vs the kett started.

I totally agree on the DLC and that they should be separate stories from the main story. This would be super easy to do with Andromeda too (a whole new galaxy to explore, and outposts to improve)

They made the same mistake in ME3, putting really important chunks of the main story into DLC (Protheans? Leviathans? Omega? C'mon, these were MAJOR main story items!) Many people didn't bother with these because they had moved on from the game already. I'd prefer that they put their best foot forward with a complete main story instead of cutting it up to make DLC.

Again, the Witcher comparison is completely valid in this respect. Blood and Wine was a wonderful add-on that was totally unique and independent from the main game, with it's own interesting story.

Good thing then we know what DLC's are coming out, huh? Oh...wait, we havent got a clue.

BITCHER ALERT, GET THE SIRENS...

...and the moment you mentioned that should've-been-swallowed... thing, I knew my suspicions about you were right.

As i said in a post that was deleted i think the company received millions due to the mass efect name and the budget for the game was the lowest possible.Music..actors everything is worse than on the trilogy.
It seems rushed wich is incredible since they had 5 years to create this game

I'm not going to post spoilers, but we can pretty much guess what the DLC is based on unresolved story lines from the main game. Either that, or they are going to leave the story lines unresolved until the next game, which is even worse.

To be honest I could not even say what the music tracks sound like in this game. I usually play a game and listen to my own music should I choose to. I have the audio audio programed that I use tuned in such a way that I only hear the FX and the dialogue in the game and the music set to off. But the rest I didn't have a problem with.

Eh? There's plenty of cutscenes/cinematica througout this game, I'd say in general much more than Inquisition. Just about all companion dialogue is in the shot reverse shot format, each loyalty mission has various sets throughout, as does each priority op. Even some inconsequential NPC's get cutscenes.
