I feel like full paragon and full renagade are easy old RPG tricks. Like being a monolyth that couldn't change his mind or opinion because game mecanics would punish you for being grey.
Plus you always ended up kicking Saren's butt then doing the suicide mission and then making a colorfull beam. The paragon/renagade is a sweet falacy that works because you accept that's a RPG. You chose between being Loyal/Good or Chaotic/GOOD.
Granted that this time the only thing we have is grey... 4 different layers of it. But at least i feel like a human and not a superhero that happen to have bad maners or not.
So yeah Paragon/Renagade were easier to understand, better for cinematography (especially renegade) and you didn't even have to read the lines just follow the color made! Blue!!! Red? No blue!!!
DDo i wish that one or two of the answers were more punchy? Of course i do but this system ain't inferior to MET's? It ain't better neither. Different it is.

I'm 50% sure not everything of Alec is gone. And if that's the case, I wonder what implies in reference to your message. For the first point not much. The message is still delivered and valid. But it changes everything for the second point making it not valid anymore

I think i remember you from the old BioWare forum. ii guess the old happy days are over. (btw DA:1 and DA2 both have heroes fleeiing from the plague and the games aren't the same at all ^^) Now they said we'll have a patch for CC day 1, which isn't included at this moment. Wanna give BS to ME:A? Sure i can't help it but most of people that have "major issues" with the game are people still mad for ME3 ending and/or for Shepard retirement. Can we move forward and just say humans look bad compared to aliens andd acknowlege it has prolly the best landscape ever? (at least in this franchise) Using the same "device" is fine in writing of course. Using a bad device twice is concerning (I'm fine with "a hero fleeing...", not with "a crewmate randomly crashes an escape pod somewhere hoping everything after will be fine"). I don't like what I experienced in MEA, that's for sure. I don't like how dialogs are written, how "emotions" are poorly conveyed. TW3 got me in the first 15 minutes when Geralt is talking about a dream he had, near a campfire, with a very subtle look. ME1 got me in the first 2 hours I spent in the Citadel. I experienced nothing like that in MEA. And that's coming from someone who didn't disliked ME3's ending, who spent 1000 hours in MP without having experience in MP before, who enjoyed DA:I more than DA:O, who can see that DA2 had good ideas. Are you from belgium? ^^ Anyway! I can't argue here. You don't like it and that's tastes and opinions (which are valid and i do respect them). Arguing on such things never goes well. The writting got me with Alec Ryder i've to say. But prolly because i was hoping for him to act and be the wway he is. I won't blame you for not liking this game. As i didin't like ME1, not until i played ME2 then went back playing ME1 again and loving it in a wider context. I do prefer DA:1 than DA:O too. Anyway we agree we both have different opinions and i believe you clever enough to accept this. I can't and won't convince you. I just hope you'ld give it a second chance, on discount, when patched and fixed!

The gameplay in AP is good. It is not a shooter. If you try and play it as a shooter you will have a bad time. Play it stealth and pistol and the game and its mechanics are great. The game is an RPG not a shooter. Your accuracy is based on skill points not your ability to point the sights on an enemy. Edit: Also very glad to see I inspired people to go back and play AP! One of my fav games ever. Was so sad about how much critics and gamers craped all over it. Best flirting scene on a plane ever!

Mike Gamble stated they're looking forward to improve it but not day 1. My mistake i red too quickly. I apology for that mistake but still they're looking into it. "W're surprised you guys think crap isn't okay. We'll look into making it not crap. We're sorry" Mate. Come on. Put some salt on your chips not on a forum please.

Now they said we'll have a patch for CC day 1, which isn't included at this moment. Where did they say that? All I've seen lately is them saying they're "looking at options" and "investigating". The EA Access demo already includes the Day 1 patch. Mike Gamble stated they're looking forward to improve it but not day 1. My mistake i red too quickly. I apology for that mistake but still they're looking into it.

There were similar issues with Omega DLC. Terrible writing (both Omega and MEA have an asari crashing an escape pod without any plan by the way), infamous glitches. I had doubts when they told us it was the same team responsible for what was "ME4". This isn't an "old build". Ian said MEA early access has the "day 1 patch": this is the same game that will be released in four days. I think i remember you from the old BioWare forum. ii guess the old happy days are over. (btw DA:1 and DA2 both have heroes fleeiing from the plague and the games aren't the same at all ^^) Now they said we'll have a patch for CC day 1, which isn't included at this moment. Wanna give BS to ME:A? Sure i can't help it but most of people that have "major issues" with the game are people still mad for ME3 ending and/or for Shepard retirement. Can we move forward and just say humans look bad compared to aliens andd acknowlege it has prolly the best landscape ever? (at least in this franchise)

I do think ME:A will be a great game, but the more I see and hear from these past couple months, the more I believe that this game was simply not ready to be released this soon. Which is crazy to think about since it's been 5 years. Remember this shit back in November? www.pushsquare.com/news/2016/11/ea_not_against_delaying_mass_effect_andromeda_againI think it's safe to say that was probably a bunch of bullshit. March is the end of the fiscal year for EA, so I have no doubt they wanted this game released before then. We're 2-3 weeks from release right now, and they're still showing off unpolished footage. I mean they actually let the press play an early buggier version of the game. How in the hell is that suppose to help market your game, when Previews are constantly mentioning the weird facial animations and bugs? Not to mention they just cancelled the MP Beta, which leads me to believe that either there's problems with the MP, or there's still so many bugs in the game that they need the extra resources to iron the game out. One of the devs said that they've done enough testing with the MP to feel confident about it, but even if he were telling the truth, that's not the same as having a full blown stress test with thousands and thousands of players online. I have no doubt there's going to be MP issues at launch. The Early Access for the game starts on the 16th of March, which probably means either reviewers are gonna be playing the pre-patched version, or Bioware will have to get the Day 1 Patch even earlier than the 16th. Good fucking luck with that. You don't have to be a fan, a hater, or anything, to see clear as day that this whole thing has been a mess. It's like they're a bunch of college students, loading up on energy drinks and doing last minute studying for an exam the night before. You ? Again? Blimey... FINE! The game isn't polished enough but by delaying a game they took 5 years to make would have been a huge thing and people -like you- would be here pissed and ranting about that... Unfair ranting is unfair. People expect BioWare to behave better than other studios but guess what: Why would they? We buy unfinisihed game andd it would be stupid to lose money polishing it knowing we gonna be here buying it anyway. I'm looking forward to see you on an other post where you're going to complain because there is too much sand in a desert.

Eeesh I don't want to be in their shoes. This is really unprecedented for a Bioware game to be getting a lot of heat by both players AND critics, before the game is even released. News of the game being a mess is spreading on the internet. While I'm sure plenty of people will like it (hell maybe I will), there seems to be a ton of people who don't so far, and that includes critics. I have to wonder what tomorrow is going to be like for them. Mac Walters is probably having PTSD flashbacks of the ME3 ending debacle. But this time it's their whole game. Hey Dove... We're talking about a studio that handle the pressure on ME3 and didn't flinched. I may had that nowadays whatever reviews go good or bad people are buying games. Mass Effect brand is carrying that game. That being said: Lots of the bad press is not ddeserved at all: Characters not that pretty and bugs on an old build? Big deal! People feel so clever when they hate on something and their life is so empty they got nothing else to do. Vicious circle here.

A great game with fun gameplay and good story that is undone by outdated graphics and an reviewers that was expecting something else? Alpha protocol is the game i've played the most iin my life. 14 playthrough and i've finished them all... So i' ok with this saying

So i wanted to go back on the tutorial, to its writting to be more specific.
Now be aware it spoils alot the first hour of the game. Leave now if you wanna keep this slice of the game spoilerfree.
I do feel like the opening and the tutorial mission on Habitat 7 is more clever than i was expecting. I can't stop thinking that Alec Ryder is used as a living metaphor for both returning players from ME 1-2-3 and the dev team itself. And somehow that's clever.
1) Alec Ryder and returning players:
Alec Ryder is veteran, with N7 ranking that had sacrifiedd alot for the alliance. He is good at everything: Combat, strategy, diplomacy, engineering, a potent biotic, software programing, etc. He had to take difficult decisions and broke the galatic laws many times.
Shepard is a veteran, with N7 ranking that had sacrifed alot for the alliance. He is good at everything: Combat (obviously), diplomacy (ME2&3), engineering (that's even one of his class), a potent biotic (ditto), etc. He had to take difficult decisions (oh ya!) and worked around the law too. Except he was somehow allowed to (specter status).
I think you see where i am going. Alec Ryder is "a Shepard" that never been played by us. The fact he is perfect in everything -like our shepard was- is an other point in commun they have the both of them.
Alec dies and Shepard is gone. This is for us to let Shepard go and this is a reminder than now we ain't playing a living perfection anymore. The legendary hero is gone. Time for us to move on and step up.
2:) Alec Ryder and the dev team:
Alec is the father of the main protagonist. He is perfect in everythiing he does mimic Shepard the previous acclaimed hero. He dies after failling to protect his Arch. He skipped protocol and outrank his officier in second to give the pathfinder responsability for somebody who wasn't ready for it nor was second in line.
I feel they are telling us their personal story. When Casey Hudson left (whatever the reason) somebody had to step up. The legendary creator of Mass Effect and the man responsable for all these good games ain't here anymore. A person not ready for the original task has to step up and play the role of creative director here.
A tiny bit later, Ryder is doubted and treaten badly by people of the Nexus simply because he/she isn't Alec Ryder and hadn't his legendary record nor his ablities. That too makes me think about the new team that has to prove us and prove EA that they can do it.
I may be mistaken here but i find this interesting and that's how i felt after the prologue. And that's clever. Shepard and Casey Hudson are gone... Fine, move on and let's do it people.
Do you agree? Do you come down to the same conclusion?

i Do believe that if you wanna start on the right foot: Just go along wiith the human engineer. The turret agros alot of mobs substracting ennemy fire off of you. You're beast to remove shields to ennemies, in an AOE fashon. Well around character.
Donnot forget that if you care about your power cooldown time: You can clean one weapon slot by pressing "V" on pc. As an ability focused character you only need one good pistol. Paybe an assault rifle if you feel like it.

Oi. I actually enjoyed my 3 hours of MEMP so far.
I got lucky and had nice classes in my free given boxes, but my gear's crappy.
After 2 hours of struggling and dying: I pretty much got bronze in a bag. Remnant being damn long sometimes. Just in ME3 i was able to solo till silver but i'm not there yet in ME:A.
Now if you are the sniper type of guy, the starting sniper riffle is... Ok-ish... If you iinvest your 5-6 first level points into weapon damage. I pretty much can one shot a basic ennemy if i'ld connnect with its head.
My favourite tho was the Asari sentinel: The shield that immunes to damage and even reflects bullets is neat. The tech power to create shield out of damage inflicted is awesome. I got a disciple shotgun in a lootcrate and i was rolling with that loadout.

No spoilers but the opening is just way too slow paced, I was actually getting bored. and it is suffering from many games suffer in an open world environment. Lots of space making it easy to get lost and nothing to really do. Don`t like the scanning tool as I feel that I have to keep switching from scanning to weapons to walking and back to scanning as I may miss something. On PC press V to put your weapon in your holster and press G again to stop scaning flawlessly.

Hello! Please allow me to give my 2 cents about my 10 hours experience with Mass Effect: Andromeda
I'ld put my general feedback here and i'ld go more in depth ( and in a light spoiler territory) in an other part of this forum.
What i liked:
-The tutorial itself. Clever writting is clever. Metaphors are too. Thanks for this great moment
-The general use of Frostbite. Inquisition has the edge on character models but here you kicked Mike Laidlaw's ass (btw i do love his twitch channel) regarding landscape and carnation.
-Human looking and sounding actually human: You're sweaty when you run, you pants etc etc. Feeling organic and alive.
-The writting's holding up good for the most part. It is Mass Effect with a Dargon Age twist: Crew members being more shiny than your main protagonist. Even so i never felt like my Ryder was bland or anything.
-Both the macro and medium loops are great. You have scale through story but through gameplay either. Your character has an infinite potential and there are numerous things to accomplish.
-Your multiplayer model will replace ME3's and i guess it will have its longevity too.
What i disliked:
-Too many technical issues: Bugs, missing textures, etc...
-Your micro gaming loop is... Meh... From a fight to an other you apply the same formula. I feel all the profiles possibilities are being wasted here.
-Too many loading screen with one of them being 7 minutes long.
-Pointless narration is pointless: Your great cinematic iintroduction would have been better having no narration at all.
-No lip sync effort in the french version.
-Cora's having the same voice actor than Liara in ME2 Shadowbreaker in french. Big nono.
-ME3 type of writting. Which isn't bad but defenetly not as breath taking as ME2's. Even if sometimes ME2 was forcing me to feel things in a clumsy way...
Conclusion:
Good maybe great game. I'm looking forward spending ton of hours playing it. That being said, to the medium itself it brings nothing new. This is just a mashup of ME 1-2-3 and Inquisition... ME1 dominant tho.
Thanks for reading me.
7 minute loading screen: Black screen with music playing and the loading logo turning around. Happening right after the cinematic displayed when you get your ship. I am on: (your platform/spec)" PC. I7-6700 (3.40), 16gb of ram, GTX980 displayed in 1080 P. The exact thing I was doing when it happened was: Just watching the cinematic.
