With the "Crimson Lancer" on Ft Tarsis Radio, it seems like they took a beat from "The Silver Shroud" in Fallout 4. If we get a mission that has anything like that, I'm here for it.

The bold font, all-caps "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL in the pre-Alpha email was pretty clear. If you read any of the material when you signed up, especially the linked agreements, it was painfully clear. People just don't think it applies to them.

All of the articles agree on a common set of positives and negatives. The score would be higher if many of the tech issues were non-existent. .... pity their not.
Also there are questionable design choices like crafting necessitating going back and forth from one end of the Tempest to the other end.
The good news is that I will end up buying the game but I need a hardware upgrade so I might as well wait and buy it on sale.
I don't know what you mean by going back and forth for crafting. There's one terminal for research and crafting. You need to go elsewhere to do the loadout, but that's it. I agree that there are some questionable design choices, but that's not one of them.

Do you want some friends on PC so you don't have to play with 'randos'? We'd like to give you plenty of opportunities to play with at least slightly known 'friends' from BSN: - We have a PC Guild on the Anthem App and there is always our Discord.
- Do share your Origin username on this thread so that those people can invite you and be ready in your friends list.
Do sign up to these appropriate channels and share your usernames for the app or use Discord so you can get 'friended up'.

Gamespot gave ME:A a 6 I think we can see part of the problem right here. "As a Mass Effect game, Andromeda falls well short of the nuanced politics, morality, and storytelling of its predecessors." Is Andromeda being judged unfairly against a rose-tinted memory of the OT? I worship the ground ME1-3 walk on, but, my God, they weren't perfect. There were clipping and animation problems, story continuity issues like suddenly dropping the dark energy plotline between 2 and 3, to say nothing of the ending of ME3. And yet, they all got rave reviews. DA2 got the same sort of abuse for not being exactly like DAO, though it was a good (if rushed out) game in its own right, and I liked it. The ten hours I played of MEA were enjoyable, so I think I'll make up my own mind on this, too.

Burned through my ten hours a lot faster than I like, and I'm really looking forward to continuing! Feedback-wise:
Liked: Environments. The planets that we've seen are gorgeous, the Tempest is amazing. I'm playing 21:9 1080p, and the graphics are impressive. Quests. The sidequests that I've encountered aren't just busywork, several have a feeling of importance to the success of the Initiative. Characters. I've had limited interaction with them, due to the early level of the story, but what I see, I like. I want to get to know them better, and that speaks for itself, as far as I'm concerned. Story. Again, early times, but I want to learn what secrets Andromeda's holding on to. What's behind that door? Voice Acting. Top-notch, as always. There have been a couple moments of meh, but that's always going to be the case. Performance. Smooth, didn't notice any problems with my system. Ultra, with a couple high. Running FX 8320 OC to 4.3 GHz, 16 GB of 1600 MHz RAM, GTX 1080 FTW, Win 10 Pro. I had one freeze that required a restart, but I'm not 100% sure that wasn't Win 10 shenanigans. Combat. So far, so good. Took some practice, but it's not so different from the OT (yet). I liked the new cover system, easier to get out and move to new cover.
Did Not Like So Much: Character Creator. You've heard this a lot, and you're going to hear it again. If you're not going to give players the option to customize individual features (eye shape, eye rotation, eyebrows, mouth shape, nose shape, ears, tattoo/scar placement), then you'd better provide a greater variety of facial scans. Nine isn't enough to provide a variety of characters. The same goes for the eleven available hairstyles. Also, haven't we learned that providing a player the chance to tweak their character once they see them in the game engine, is a GOOD thing? What looks good in cc, doesn't always translate fully to animated model, and it would be nice to tweak, rather than throw out the time already spent on a character. Especially when... SAVES!! I can't make a manual hard save during priority missions? Really? No quicksave, ever? Please fix this. A game like this should not leave us relying on checkpoints. Animations & Textures. This was relatively minor for me, I didn't have a lot of issues, but when they happen, they're jarring. Cora had a pretty nasty shoulder spasm while I was speaking to her, and both she and my fRyder had a weird neck thrust posture, where their necks went nearly 45 degrees from their shoulders. Ryder also seemed to thrust her lower jaw out rather more than I expected. Not always, but it was there, and it wasn't when I used the cc. The facial textures of some background NPCs make them look like potatoes. The weirdly staring, flat eyes of some NPCs. Squad Abilities. And the inability to give orders. It makes it feel like I'm playing alone, rather than heading a squad, when no orders other than, "Go there," can be issued. My only role seems to be to shoot things, and to revive squaddies. Feels tactically limiting. On the bright side, the AI seems fairly capable at Normal difficulty, can't judge Hard or Insanity, yet. GUI. I'm a KB & M player, and the endless backing out of menus is terrible. The hotkey that enters the menu should exit it as well. Lack of Tutorial. I never thought I'd say this, but there needs to be a tutorial for using the scanners (personal, planet, and mining). I finally figured them out, but it's not terribly intuitive, and is probably going to frustrate some.
Anyway, this is longer than I intended, and this is (hopefully!) constructive criticism. It's clear the team worked very hard on this game, it's absolutely Mass Effect, and I can't wait to play the rest! Thanks for giving us Andromeda.

But WHEN!? Some of us want to go dark very soon, because there's going to be all kinds of spoilers running around, starting with early access tomorrow. Data mining may happen. It's getting dangerous out here! I'm expecting the Sara trailer to launch on the 20th. It would make the most sense since launch trailers are mostly meant to be released right before launch. *Disgusted noise* Probably, and it would put Sara in the front of players' minds right before launch. Rather have it this week, though.

Well, a wise man once told me that you have to see the good in every situation! Now preset Scott and Sara don't look so bad anymore! True.Very true. Scott and Sara defs have already grown on me and I doubt I will manage to make a decent Ryder that looks like me (I have the tendency ro roleplay as myself in games,when I can). Maybe I will just havento detach myself from the roleplaying aspect this time and accept default Sara or Scott and play them like I do with Geralt in the Witcher.But it is hard to accept it ,being a Mass Effect game. I don't know what to do.Haven't decided yet. I haven't played a default character in a BioWare game since Jade Empire, and I'm not about to start now, just because of a short-sighted, featureless character creator. I will do the best I can to make a character that looks like a version of my pale, northern self. "This is my Ryder. There are many like her, but this one is mine," will be my mantra for the coming days.

Welp, I'm going to see what I can do with female preset #9. Hopefully I can come to terms, and make her my Ryder. We'll see if improvements come down the patch pipe.
Dammit, BioWare, I want to love this game.

Did the minimum CPU requirements get toned down? When they first came out, I could have sworn that the minimum AMD CPU was listed was FX-8350. Now it's the 6350, and the 8350 is the recommended CPU. I don't think they have? Unless they changed them immediately after releasing them, I've always seen the 8350 as recommended. I've got an overclocked 8320, so I'm hopeful with the requirements.

I think my biggest gripe is the beards for the BroRyder...where's a light/mid five o'clock shadow? I mean clearly there's a whole thick stubble going on. It's sort of like they went with extremes... SUPER STYLED... SUPER THICK STUBBLE... SUPER THICK STUBBLE-MUTTON CHOP BEARD... But no 'Eh I missed a day or two on shaving'. At least give us something close to Default Ryder's beard, or just give us that as an option. :/ The scar-selection are a bit odd, not the scars themselves, but the difference between a few of them is simply placement. Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't we drag and place scars in DA:I? Yes, we could, and it was glorious. They actually looked like scars, too, not lipstick smudges.

There are some very... strange scar patterns available. Do they have this pattern? I would pick this pattern. A couple different versions of that, for about six different spots on the face, judging by the videos I've seen.

You can fade them/darken them, but otherwise, no. Also, they don't seem to have texture, so nothing raised and/or puckered. Thanks, guess I will try it out. Otherwise Ryder will get the grand luck of not having his/her face scarred by the evil waffle iron. There are some very... strange scar patterns available.

So, I really don't want to go through 10+ pages for this answer so I will ask: Did anybody see if the scars could look older and healed? What I have seen so far is that they look really fresh, and that is a bit weird considering we get them before we are put in cryo. Apologies if it has been asked and answered too many times already. You can fade them/darken them, but otherwise, no. Also, they don't seem to have texture, so nothing raised and/or puckered.

Soldier mainly, but I expect to be dipping into infiltrator and engineer abilities. The possibility of having a turret on a chokepoint, while I snipe things, is appealing.

I didn't want gender restrictions on hair either. Why do we have this CC? Why would you want boys to have female hair? Cornrows are female-gated. Afro is male-gated. Either could easily be unisex, as could the short ponytails.

Well, guess I'm not going to spend as much time in the CC as I thought. There seems to be even less customization than ME1.
No individual customization of: nose bridge, eyebrows, eye shape, complexion (skin tone only), eyebrows. Only eleven (11!) hairstyles. Only facial tattoos. No real beards for the guys. Scars with no texture, they look painted on.
Lots of clown makeup.
I think we're going to see a fair number of similar looking Ryders (barring crazy makeup), much like the OT, and completely unlike DAI. That's a shame, makes it harder to make a character that looks like the player, for starters. I'll find something acceptable, but I was hoping for something better than that.

There is going to be such a flood of spoilery info over the next week. All I want is the Sara trailer, then early access for the CC.
***Also, a heads up for people with an Origin copy: the achievements just showed up today with an update. Don't look!***

Curious....I wonder if ANDROMEDA will feature DX 12 or Vulcan....And also- not that there are many HDR-compatible monitors out there just yet, but it is definitely an up-and-coming technology...Will 'Andromeda' feature HDR as a possible toggle (if/when people buy an HDR monitor, they have that option to turn it on...and if not, then of course it stays 'off') Just curious. Does anyone know if HDR was listed in the list of those fancy options awhile back? From geforce.com: In total there are 16 options that affect image quality, most of which have several detail levels. Additionally, Mass Effect: Andromeda players with a HDR television, or a G-SYNC HDR monitor, can enable the best implementation of HDR seen to date on PC with one flick of a switch in the Video menu.It's funny that we haven't heard anything about DX12, after the noise that DICE was making about wanting all Frostbite games to require it.

I'm in Canada, so AAA titles are generally in the $70 - $80 CAD range, and it's the same price for physical or download. Double the price for downloading seems weird. I don't begrudge the studios getting the funds to make great games, but the only real winners are the publishers. It's more than weird. I recently bought Skyrim from the Xbox marketplace for Xbox one because it was on offer at £33 - It's usually almost £50. On Amazon UK, for a disk copy it's £26.99. while a download code is £49.99. While that isn't double the price, it's damn close. I would think a download would be less. Geez. The only thing I can think of is some kind of bizarre tariff on non-physical properties, that a physical copy is covered by existing trade regulations, or something. That pricing is completely topsy-turvy.

I understand why it's that way - less overhead for the company, bigger games requiring blu-ray rather than dvd, and everything's gone that way, music and movies included. I don't like it, but I do understand. But I still mourn the loss of full-sized game boxes containing posters, and manuals the size of unabridged dictionaries. Perfect for reading while you installed half a dozen cds. I'm from the UK so I don't know what the price difference is where you are. But here, a game cost's almost twice as much to download, as it does to buy a disk version. Something smell's very wrong with that. I'm in Canada, so AAA titles are generally in the $70 - $80 CAD range, and it's the same price for physical or download. Double the price for downloading seems weird.

Oh, I've got a disk drive. There's no physical PC copy being released in North America, though. We simply don't get a choice - download or bust! Ah...I see. That's a bit crappy isn't it. I understand why it's that way - less overhead for the company, bigger games requiring blu-ray rather than dvd, and everything's gone that way, music and movies included. I don't like it, but I do understand. But I still mourn the loss of full-sized game boxes containing posters, and manuals the size of unabridged dictionaries.
