Who's still doing playthroughs of ME:Andromeda?

ooh, let's wait and see. Thanks for the heads up. 

Is it bad I'm on my like 35th playthur of MEA? I know it gets alot of crap but I love the game to death. It's one of the few games I can replay and not be bored. FFXIV is the other one. Heck I'm a huge sonic fan and neither of those I can play more than twice without being bored. :c

Not at all, if you enjoy it go for it.  I think I have about the same amount of playthroughs for ME2 and a few more for ME3.  I tend not to buy many games per year and enjoy the ones I do get.

I've only made three completions of Andromeda.  The last was sometime back in June or July of 2017.  I started playing Hearts of Iron 4 before Andromeda and went back to it after the second time through Andromeda, did the first two back to back.  I recently wanted to play Mass Effect again and I went for ME2 and imported that Shepard into ME3.  I just enjoy those games more than Andromeda.

Since I recently finished ME3 I've been debating whether or not to do another Andromeda run.  Still not sure.

Hopeful, at the same time fearful, because of how Skyrim and Fallout 4 are... not saying they're not good games (well except Fallout 4 didnt really feel much like Fallout anymore ) but I dont much like anymore the Bethesda formula so to say. Keeping my fingers crossed (auch they're hurting already)!

I've never liked a Bethesda game, sadly. I think they're butt ugly, and that they are primarily clunky, FP affairs. I heard Starfield described as "Fallout tropes in space". I have no idea whether that's accurate, but it ensured that I have zero expectations for that game. (The person saying meant it as a positive.) If it's not typical Bethesda fare, it could be a great, unanticipated surprise for me. I doubt there will ever be another Mass Effect. The combination of BioWare characters and ever evolving, third-person action was near perfection.

EDIT: Just saw the revealed info. Sad. It's typical Bethesda stuff. 😖 The good news is that many people will enjoy it.

Not official info. Apparently BS threads and vids are still popular amongst adults. Who knew? That's what for get for posting so quickly. Still keeping expectations at nil.

The dystopian worlds of Fallout can certainly be hard to look at. Skyrim has some lovely scenery.

I agree on the combat controls. They're primitive at best. There are several reasons why I enjoy Bethesda games; combat is not among them.



x1000 - and ME3MP was (is?) an amazingly popular, lightning-in-a-bottle success story.

But the ending drew so much overwrought ire, it's no surprise that devs are unwilling to ever tackle something like that again. All these years later, some people still haven't built themselves a bridge to get over it.

Also, OT: I just completed a Sara PT of MEA and have started a new Scott PT.

I'm in the midst of PT #16. Five out of the previous 15 got irretrievably bugged on Voeld. I guess the fact that I continue playing it with such a high rate of FAIL speaks to how much I enjoy playing it. I like the characters, visuals and sound; and I love the gameplay. I enjoy tackling the gameplay with an entirely different primary character build each time (I absolutely love the organic, classless character-building system). It's not just a mechanical thing for me, either. My character's chosen approach to combat shapes how I view that character.

So, I'm chugging away and still enjoying it. I just really love so many things about ME. No other games bring to the table so many things that I enjoy. I'll wrap up this PT, and then? Maybe I'll move on to another game; or maybe I'll start another PT. It all depends whether anything else can lure me away from ME.

Yeah halfway through ME3 atm just about to go to Tuchanka to help cure the Genophage but once I'm through ME3 I'll be starting my 9th  playthrough a female Sentinel on MEA. Already looking forward to shooting some Kett again.

Yeah I'm finishing up ME3 first mostly because I went through the headache of getting my Readiness rating up for my latest run so it  kind of makes sense for me to finish up that before it drops back down. Especially as the readiness rating doesn't matter to MEA so I can happily ignore it after ME3.

I actually started to find it hard near the end of ME3 to concentrate as I kept thinking about my next MEA run-through.
