So... the launch is in like 15 minutes and still no trailer... The biggest fail of all times. Congratulations BW for achieving another record of disappointment. Aaaand the game is on. No trailer. You know, come to think of it, considering it is Scott who was selected as the face of MAI in the ads, it is a kind of poetic justice just how mixed the reviews are. It does not lessen my disappointment (not that the reviews would be any different if Sara was there, I assume), but it actually shows that Bioware Montreal was simply too afraid to take a risk with a female protagonist. They are not afraid to show sex, tackle matters such as genophage, but Sara as the face of the campaign? Don't be ridiculous, as Dorian would sarcastically comment on this. At the end, I'm kind of glad they barely used Sara for the marketing campaign? I mean... Now, one of the reasons the producers and execs CAN´T use for this backlash is "average gamer felt intimidated by a female playable character"

So I don't know if other people already know this, but I just read that Reyes has no romance scene. Like final romance culmination thing I guess? Yeah. So that's a thing. Well, I head bumped Garrus and dance Tango with him and I woke up in my underwear while we was dressed reading a pad I can deal with it (Reyes has started to pick my interest really hard)

On the bright side, thanks to Andromeda the ME3 endings won't matter anymore. Mission accomplished, I guess?

The only way to redeem themselves a little tiny bit (in case that guide is accurate) would be a DLC with a new male gay alien companion... But what are the chances lol.... Even if there's a chance, it won't be worth the money. Javik was an exception since he was a Prothean. I WANT A KETT GAY ROMANCE OPTION SQUADMATE FREE DLC

Girl-bait Queerbait Oh God, this marketing has been glorious As a consumer, I feel I don't matter . It wouldn't be so bad if they would have not promised us they will market equally I wouldn't mind so much if they wouldn't throw gaymers under the bus But the thing is... they did. They promised us Sara would have her equal piece of marketing. They promised us we will have plenty of romance options (FOR EVERYONE, that was implicit). What the hell? Well, I guess I'll replay for the thirth time my beloved trilogy. Nobody can take that from me

At the end only time will tell if it's a memorable game or if it deserves to fall into oblivion. I only understood MET was the best thing ever for me after the 5th time I replayed it. That was the moment it strook me hard realizing what it meant to me

I can't wait to hear what the devs tweet this morning... they promised the game would get better and it clearly doesn't. I never thought I would live in a world where a Bioware game was criticized for bad writing, cringeworthy dialogue, lack of meaningful choices, and bland cast of companions.... facial animation glitches seem like the least of their problems now. :'( To be frank, I've seen most of those criticisms leveled at every Bioware game since the original ME, then the moment a new game comes out all is forgiven the old game joins the Bioware nostalgia vault on its pedestal. I guess my point being, Bioware games never seem to be as good or as bad as some people think they are. It's Doctor Who Effect. New is awful!! The previous one was SO GOOD... I don't understand was he was so underrated, the NEW ONE IS WORSE!! Also, I predicted the DAI will be better considered after MEA. Because DAI is better than MEA? Not necessarily. It happened before. DAII started to be praised after DAI, the same way ME3 consensus was "the ending was bad but the rest was great" after DAI fetch quests and so. MEA will be better considered after the new IP is released. Or DA4.

I was seriously considering to cancel my pre order. I feel this game will be cheaper in less than a month (Last Guardian style). Then I said to myself: fuck it! I liked those 10 hours. This is the first time I preorder something I want. I've always regreted not to preorder ME3 because I replayed it 20 times.

Marketing might get even more aggressive now, if anything. After the reviews, expect a message from Aaryn Flynn saying they are going to aggressively patch the game. No foreplay? (Sorry, I need the laughs )

Showing that it's a long game, it takes 10 hours to get a bit more than 10 % of the game done. Which is an uneven comparison to make when you can easily spend 10 hours not progressing as far as the next guy because you like to walk instead of sprinting or just look at stuff. Mac is always so transparent in everything he does. He's trying too hard and always thinking size > substance. It goes against everything I want as a gamer. It takes 3-4 hours to reach that 10% I guess that percentage is linked to the main quest

This is not my final "review" but after playing some hours I'm really angry that I can't roleplay like I want. I want to be relentless, stubborn bitch like my good old Shepard and I can't, I just don't have the choice. EVERY scene were I had the "Mass Effect OT sense" of having the choice to be an ass or just cold left my furiously searching for the answer I want. This probably annoys me even more than the CC. If someone questions my competence I want to either say something like fuck off or seize them by the collar whispering in their ears that I'm gonna eat their mother and NOT "Oh I'm sorry", "Yes madam" or "Whoop Dee Doo, I'm casually saying yes". This problem is of course non existent for paragon players but I feel pressured into the role of a young, liberal child with no self esteem, no balls, no authority and no character. PLEASE anybody tell me that this changes soon (I'm on the Tempest now for the first time) although I doubt it Two answers mostly, which effect the same thing is not an improvement over the three choices for "nice","indifferent", "unfriendly" PLUS"asshole" and "angel" which we had in the OT. Although is not a big problem for me, replaywise I hope we eventually have the possibility to be an ass. So I kinda agree with you in that point

Not sure where to ask this but hell. As someone who's trying to avoid as much footage as possible, are conversations with minor npcs done primarily with cinematic cut scenes, or do we have the DAI overhead shit camera? Something in the middle: the camera is nearer to the one who you speak

Well, I played 3 hours of the game on PC. Very glad I took the PC trial because my laptop has proven to not be good enough for the task. It works fluidly but the graphics pay for it. Thanks to the Early Access, I won’t purchase Andromeda for PC but I’ll buy it for PS4 instead. Preorder with no doubt, because man, this game is so for me…
Impressions shorts? I FUCKING LOVE IT More extensive analysis: -CC
I’m one of the few who like the new CC. I prefer this system way better than DAI’s one. Sliders are very masseffectsque. However, people are right when they critic the lack of options. I think the CC will improve a lot with simple changes like the ability to select diferent EYES from the nine heads and incorporate it to the head base you chose. The same with NOSES, MOUTHS and BROWS… (i.e. Female Ryder: Head number 8 with the eyes of head number 1 and LIPS of number 5 would rock!!). Another issue I saw with CC is very masseffectsque: female versions are way better than male options. However, this time is possible to create an appealing Male Ryder, moreover if we could pick more eyes, mouths, nose selections. Also, Come on, Bioware! Put all hairstyles all together, regardless of your Ryder’s gender! There are pretty cool combinations waiting for it. To finish with CC, eyes tend to be a Little lifeless. I think it’s a upper eyelid issue, eyes seem too open in all people. I think that’s why the Asian characters (especially Ryders) look the best: their eyes look more natural and real. I played with female head 1 by the way (and I love her!!!). -Music
Fucking brilliant. I’m so sold. You notice it when you have to notice it and it sounds so spacey, so vibrant… It’s amazing. Kudos for all music team, I wish I could say more than this: I cannot stop to repeat in my head the best notes in the best moments. And I only played for three hours!! -Characters
Great great great. Great banter, in Habitat 7 during the prologue with Liam felt I was listening two real people reacting on what they see. Of course the downside can be the moment when you replay too many times the whole game (I replayed more than 20 times the Original trilogy and sometimes ME1 was more playable than ME3 for the lack of banter. However, the squadmates of ME1 weren’t so fleshed out as the new squadmates in ME3. If I have to choose, I pick a lot of banter). I liked Liam a lot, his banter made me feel like I’m gonna befriend him pretty quickly. Cora is more distant. She is not cold as Miranda was, but you feel the profesional Wall she has constructed. The NPCs invested me good enough to give a damn to look for them and try to sabe as much as I could. Altough the sibling relationship doesn’t seem fleshed out (not yet) I think you made a good decision (story pacing) putting Alec on the spot first. I’m really invested with him, I really felt the father-daughter conection and at the end of Habitat 7 mission I felt I don’t want to loose him. Because I refuse to think I lost him. Not my old man, you filthy bastards! NO CORPSE NO WAY. Please, Kett, take him as prisioner or somethinG! Ryder is GREAT. Maybe some people won’t like she/he is more predefined than Shepard was, but I really enjoyed the way she speaks and acts. I burst of laughter a couple of times (Alien Gods moment and especially when Alec seemed so surprised I explored by my own, OMG DAD! WHY ARE YOU SO SURPRISED). Fryda is AWESOME (and Tom too, judging for the playthroughs I'm watching). I’m really invested with the character already. The Dialogue Wheel is reduced to two options most of the time, but when you have the four options at the same time you really see the paid off. Also, I like at first I was worried to pick to much casual or profesional, too much logical or emotional, but at some point I didn’t care anymore because it was clear when I want her to be emotional and when I want her to be more cold headed. Kudos for the Kett introduction. I really enjoyed it, and the multiple options you have to know about them outside the linear content (and I was so gladly surprised the extra banter there are, I’ve never thought it was!). Kett are intriguing and I think it’s great to hear them speak, even if you don’t understand them yet. -Animations
I know people say are bad or not as good as it could be (comparing to other products, with no customizable protagonists and family members, by the way… some people tend to forget that) but comparing this animations with ME1-2-3 (especially 3, the one I find the animations more jarring) I think they are very good. I like the subtle changes in the characters when they smile, speak etc. I’m gonna stop here because I could speak about the game about hours (AND I ONLY PLAYED 3!!!) but my first impression is very very very good. This is what I was waiting for 600 5 years. Proud of you, Bioware EDIT: SAVES!!! Please for godsake I can understand you don't let us save anytime we want in a Priority Mission but it feels so STRESSFULL no be able to SAVE. Also, the menu is a little dificult to comprehend for me. I have to study it a little more. And I think the keyboards for PC players are a little chaotic. I think when I finally played it on PS4 will be better. Game seems better suited for a PS4/XBOX controller than for keyboards. However, those issues feel very masseffectsque for me (Except for the saving part) (LET US SAVE YOURSELFS BIOWARE GOD!!) (and mandatory TRAILER FOR SARA!!!! petition) EDIT 2: The pacing of the prologue is great. I liked I could interact so much before starting the main mission.

I CALLED IT!! BISEXUALS SAVE THE DAY, BITCHES MY ADORABLE FRIENDS!!! So, so happy!!! Straight Jaal hadn't any sense, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT HIM??? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MY BIRADAR SEEMS TO WORK!!!! Yes, I played until the Nexus I remember Cora calls you Sara after she informs you your father has "died". But I don't wanna believe he is dead I REALLY LOVED MY FICTIONAL FATHER Hanako Ikezawa , as Natashina said: hang in there! Don't lose hope. We will see. I think asexual romances can be a little more difficult to see on game. I cross my fingers and hug you
