I've heard Korea is the best place to change to, but none of the programs I've tried can connect to Korea. What program are you guys using to get Korea as an option? Also, I'm in the US...does that somehow play a role in what places I have to choose from? I'm totally new to this vpn stuff.

Nothing to "save". Most of the actual gamers who've played it enjoyed it.

As far as I'm concerned, reviewers are just echoing what's "in" to say. I've played the game myself with the trial and I loved it.

In my honest opinion, a lot of the negative stuff you're seeing on the internet is simply bandwagon jumpers, posting a popular yet controversial opinion to get views and likes. It's "cool" right now to talk bad about Andromeda for some reason.
I played the 10 hour trial and loved it. Already pre-ordered. Now I'm not saying it's perfect in every way, but nothing/no one is perfect. The only things that bothered me were of course the character creation and facial animations, but also the unskipable galaxy map travel scenes. The rest of the game was quite enjoyable.
If you're a Mass Effect fan and you think for yourself, and try not to let others' opinions skew yours, I believe you'll enjoy Andromeda. If you let the negative bandwagoners get in your head though, you might go into Andromeda with the idea that you're not going to like it, and it might become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Wish I could help you but I burned through my 10 trial hours the day I got access. Ifaik though, there isn't any medigel. There are shield booster consumables that you can access from the weapon wheel though. I THINK it was [TAB].

I think you're jumping the gun OP. The trial was only a very small part of the game. I'm sure there will be tons of memorable moments further into the story. We've barely scratched the surface.

I really like the freedom and customization it gives, but I do see how it could work against replayability. But in a game with no level cap you've got to wonder if we really need to have replayabilty. Hopefully enemies scale with the character and maybe they did something similar to Skyrim with the infinite side quests. Only time will tell I guess. No level cap? Every Bioware game has had a level cap be it hard or soft. www.pcgamer.com/mass-effect-andromeda-has-no-level-cap-allows-you-to-completely-respec-ryder/

Why must I open the stupid wheel to use consumables on PC version? I cannot for the life of me find an option to bind consumables to a hotkey.. instead I have to pause the game with the annoying wheel while using mouse and keyboard... it is exceedingly irritating. Because EA publish games to consoles not PC and since Bioware is part of EA well you understand. This is how all games will be like for all major pubs, new age gamers = cash I don't think that's the actual reason. Weapons can be switched with a hotkey and they're also on the wheel. Consumables might just be an oversight...possibly something that can be added later with a patch.

I can second the Liam advice. The Havoc ability is suicide for him. Without it, he does just fine shooting and chucking grenades from a distance. He never died once in my 10 hours.

If you keep buying crap, they will keep selling crap. Well, you know what they say about opinions. I really enjoyed the 10 hour trial and consider it far from "crap".

I know, at the very least, It's good for two play throughs...male and female. Aside from that, maybe switching up the difficulty will add a few more playthroughs. I always play new games on normal difficulty so I can learn the mechanics before diving into the tougher stuff. So once I finish on Normal I'll probably do another playthrough on Hardcore, then Insanity. At least...that's my plan. I suppose I could also die today and never do any playthroughs...

How did you find your version on Origin? I still can't find it. I don't think there's a way on PC Origin. I went with lukensen87's suggestion and it shows 1.0.0.3 there. His suggestion was to look at the "Version" column in "Control Panels - Programs and Features"

Andromeda was a buy from the moment I heard it was going to be made. The Mass Effect trilogy is my favorite gaming series, followed by The Elder Scrolls and Final Fantasy (the older ones). I pre-purchased Andromeda as soon as I was able to lol. Played the trial and am (im)patiently waiting for the 21st.
Mass Effect has never let me down.
I was one of those crazy people who were actually okay with the ending of part 3. I figured it was their game and they were free to end it the way they wanted. Life usually doesn't have happy endings anyway. But I was even more impressed when they made alternate endings to keep their fans happy. Whether you think they did it for financial reasons, a sense of obligation to fans, or a bit of both...all that matters is they took the time and made it happen. Not many developers would do that.

...Most potential viewers are avoiding the streams for fear of spoilers... I'm in this^ boat. I love Mass Effect's story, and I don't want it any surprises to be ruined by watching a stream. But at the same time, I really wish I could be playing the game right now. That 10 hour EA Access tease was just that...a tease.

Lol...wha? When did I say anything about women drivers being bad? You're reaching assuming quite a bit. I also pointed out the fact that the game is fictional. They're allowed to create fictional male and female drivers. What he believes the game is "intended" to be is a mute point. The game IS a fictional racing game. Sigh. I said your quoted statement implies his criticism was sexist based when it wasn't. Any criticism from that point onward is subjective. Some people prefer simulation styled games to remain similar to their real life counterparts while others couldn't care less. But no one implied anything about a woman's ability to drive an automobile. Okay let's take a look at the facts: -The title of the video is "Games Are Becoming Too PC". PC being Politically Correct in this case. -He's goes on to say that he imagined the developers having a conversation and " some little spineless twat" said " we really should make half of the drivers women". -Next he says having women in the game " ruins the game completely". -The next part is the most ironically telling part to me: He says the the point of games is immersion; " you've got the real world, that we're in now, which is so messed up"; " so you jump into a game and you want that immersion". This part doesn't make much sense to me because he's saying the real world is messed up, while also saying he wants his games to be exactly like the real world. It doesn't make sense because he's simply trying to rationalize his irrational bigotry. -He then says " through the power of gaming, I can now be a formula 1 manager". Now that leads me to wonder why he has such an issue with a women being a formula 1 driver through the power of gaming. Why is it okay for him to live out a dream via gaming, but it's not okay for a woman to? -Then he says how upset he is when " Emma with her pink f***ing helmet on" overtakes his driver. -Followed by " Thankfully there's a mod coming out that's gonna fix all that and put the proper formula 1 drivers in take out all the stupid women that are in it". I could go on and on dissecting the video but I hope you get the point now. Hate to break to to you, but no matter how you try to spin it; or how hard you try to play devil's advocate, the video is nothing more than a sexist/bigoted rant.

How am I being disingenuous? I said " He went on a rant before about how he disliked a racing game because there were female drivers.". My statement is 100% true. He literally went on a rant about there being female drivers in the game. Your comparison to the NFL and NHL would have a bit of validity IF the game he's referring to was a licensed Formula 1 game...but it's not. It's a fictional top-down motorsports management game and he's upset that they chose to make fictional female drivers along with the fictional male drivers. It really is just a bigoted rant at its core. Because this implies his criticism is entirely on the basis "women drivers are bad" when less than two minutes into the video he explicitly states a rationale on why. In his opinion, the game is intended to be a real life representation of Motor Sports, and thus, would only have male drivers. Now you're certainly welcome to disagree, and I'd be inclined to agree it doesn't matter since the game isn't licensed. But my point was you making this out to be a sexist rant is disingenuous. Lol...wha? When did I say anything about women drivers being bad? You're reaching assuming quite a bit. I also pointed out the fact that the game is fictional.

Not a fan of that reviewer. He went on a rant before about how he disliked a racing game because there were female drivers. I haven't watched the Andromeda review video but I'm guessing he hates the diversity in Andromeda too? His anti-pc/sjw rant: That's disingenuous. He criticised it because the game is based on Formula One where there are very few (or any?) women racers and the game is intended to be a representation of real life. It's the equivalent of having female NFL or NHL players in their respective sports franchises. Neither league has female athletes... How am I being disingenuous?
