Remember when Mass Effect made you feel like this?

I think we may be playing different games.

Ever played Jade Empire? It looks pretty dated now, but holy cow... it came out of left field for me and I loved it. Neverwinter Nights? Oh man...

I see it this way and everything you're going to say after is probably stuff I am going to agree on.

Inquisition was their last title with the doctors. It had issues with pacing, some questionable lore and one-and-done side quests that you never want to repeat again. It had MAJOR issues with the PC port on release and I was pretty tired with yet another bad release. Two months later, the game was playable past the first Act because I couldn't seal the rift before then. Walking became an option on the PC five months later (5 months to figure out how to code that into Frostbite without jacking something else up along the way) and program a mouse with more than two buttons (derp. Sorry. Not Sorry). 

Anyway, I derailed myself hard there. What I was saying that I got those tingles when I held aloft that sword the first time in Skyhold. The glitches were bad though and I totally got bored because of the banter issue. It's execution that's lacked.

In Andromeda's case, same, but worse. The doctors are gone. 13 leads gone. The lead of leads... gone. PS4 was a mess at launch. About six weeks later, right? Patch 1.05. I got Ryder on my second canon run (which is still aborted. I'm going to start fresh on the new rig in June) and just got tired of the pacing issues and the constant reloads. However, there were a lot of great moments in between, but the bugs and glitches are too numerous even for a junkie like me.

But guess what? Edmonton and Montreal are now staffed with people who are legitimate veterans of Frostbite. The games were good. Inquisition eventually earned GOTY in my opinion with Trespasser. Andromeda will never have that chance because it was released as a commodity instead of legitimate art. Bugs and glitches are expected, but when it's basically feels like you're just killing time. You're having to reload earlier saves because the current one just broke. Then you are going to have a very human, but negative reaction. It's a slap in the face to those that worked on it and to the junkies like me who want their fix NOW.

Montreal studio made Omega. Remember that? If this is what they do forever, I'm super fine with that. It takes skill to produce a DLC that can stand on its own legs and still improve upon the vanilla game like it did. Aria is iconic Asari badass #1. Shut up Liara, Samara, Morinth, PeeBee and every clone on the Nexus. Late hit. 10 yard penalty. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to Dylan. I'm looking forward to more Dragon Age. I'm ready.

This really has nothing to do with Mass Effect: Andromeda. This is a love thread for the original trilogy which is fine but in the wrong forum.

I started with ME2 I didnt care about the politics of who could do who.

I fell in love in ME1 atmosphere and main story. My biggest complaint was Tali being one dimensional. I didnt care you couldn't romance her.

It wasnt about sex it was about blasting through a mass effect relay to this



Then listening to this.




And meeting this guy.



And then talking to this guy.



And then this happens.




Then you stand on top of a dead Reaper, without even catching indoctrination.

Like a boss.

I can't wait for the collector's edition on this. Seeing their track record on DLC on the previous titles, I'm pretty encouraged. MOAR MUSIC!

For me when I hear that song... I'm pulled into the immersion as deftly as riding down a slide into a pool. It doesn't take you long and then you're staring out the window of the SR-1 Normandy. 

maybe you should have joined the PC master race
and
maybe you should not take curves and drive over bumps and mountaintops at full speed, that wouldn't work too well in RL either

ME is, and never was, a car simulator. The only times I had problems with the Mako were my own faults, just like trying to take a 110° turn at 100mph and wondering when you hit the house.

I know it's different game, but look at this from 1:35


MASTERPIECE !!!

Hello, I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite post in all of the Citadel. 

Between the two properties, Inquisition probably has my favorite OST, especially now with Trespasser included.
