[SPOILERS] My (long) Andromeda final review

You're one to talk

Esports.... Insert badass meme.

Comparing it to a ten year old game is pretty weak. What's sad is that a ten year old Mass Effect 1 is still better in so many ways when contrasted against Andromeda.

And you probably haven't even played Kitty Powers' Matchmaker anyways (a solid 72% on metacritic btw). Maybe it will even get DLC!

perhaps. But i still prefer MEAs characters. As far as it goes the only things that TW 3 really hit out of the park was side quests and gameplay.

ME1 at least does the inventory correctly and lets you use it on the fly, it's only issue is being a disorganized mess.

Here you go anarchy65, soloing two Banshees as a vanguard:



No idea what my companions were doing, probably shooting at walls.

Notice how unlike in ME:A they don't bother to close up and help. Now obviously I could have paused and micromanaged them like a puppeteer to come aid me, but that would break the flow of combat and stop my roleplay illusion of them being independent characters.

i prefer the way MEA handled it.honestly. it's always been immersion breaking how games like ME 1 have handled inventory. If anything i would have restricted it even more.

I'll just copy and paste my last post about this to see if you can finally understand. Maybe 3 times is enough for someone like you to read?

"To make it very clear: The fact that you can solo MET without using companions' powers DOESN'T MAKE THEM USELESS. It just means YOU CHOSE not to use them. In ME:A you don't have the choice, thus, they're useless."

The problem with that argument is that your definition of useless is silly. Or maybe just incoherent; I'm not quite sure which. How does not being able to control power use make them useless, exactly?

can't speak for Vonuber but quite sure his argument and experiences disagrees with yours. As does mine. I found the companions in MEA about as useful as i did in the trilogy. Vetra Cora and Drack were especially so.

It's not just what "I like". Every review out there has called out the inventory system not being an actual inventory system for Andromeda cuz there's no changing gear in the fly like most games offer with an actual inventory system. If you want to go the route that it's what "I want" well then I'm not going to shy away from it 👍

Ok then, show a video of companions killing an ascendant. On their own.

And it has to be in less than 5 seconds, because that's how long it would take for me to take it down using companions' powers on MET.
