Everything Wrong With Mass Effect: Andromeda

It's funny in how after you analyze the game's plot points that you realize this game has serious story and pacing issues. The one that really stood out for me as others have described was in how Alec could communicate with these vaults...even with how advanced this Sam is, there is no way to decipher alien technology as if it was technology they was familiar with. And also if it wasn't for the vaults themselves, how would Ryder make these worlds habitable?


The whole bit with the exiles and Sloane on Kadara pretty much chillin' without the help of Ryder was a bit puzzling as well....she also ran the Kett off the planet while the Kett are building or have built headquarters and bases on other planets with ease, but yet they couldn't defeat a squad of ragtag exiles from the Nexus?

I didn't tear the game apart in the manner that this vid is doing  tho, because eh...i know they are trying to tell a story, but even without breaking it down, i thought the story and characters was lacking....it's just that when you see these types of vids breaking down the plot-points of the game, you get a sense that this game needed some QA and some fine tuning of the overall plot and story elements. 

I agree that this scene being helmetless is silly. Still, they were in the upper atmosphere of a planet at the time. Did it look like a breathable atmosphere? Not really. Nonetheless, it was present. I think they just failed to see obvious necessity for helmets, in that scene.

Shouldn't newer games look better than older games?

So you said it backwards the first time, and you actually think ME:A looks better than Anthem?
