What are your too ***SPICY*** to handle hot takes of the trilogy?

I know it’s a really small thing, but I really liked that little scene on Habitat 7 where you can approach the Kett with your hands up as a show of good faith and be all explorer-like rather than go guns blazing. 

I don't really agree on the offspring reasoning, because a relationship doesn't have to center about that (not to mention the possibility of adoption). The part about them being dextro-based is quite true. By the way, in ME2 Aethytia did say that turian snacks/nuts could cause cramps in humans.

YYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!  Easily one of the top 5 pieces for me 

I did feel the same way initially.  My opinion has changed since then.

I wouldn't say it's worse per say, but not a major improvement.  If I take 3 and Andromeda for example, the feel of the combat is very different do to what each individual class can do vs Ryder. 

Playing a class just as itself in Andromeda imo wasn't as fun as 3 for most.  The Soldier losses it's Adrenaline Rush, which imo really took away from the feel.  Turbocharge is nice but it' not the same.  Also same with the slow mo sniper shots (Infiltrator)

The things I could do with the combat drone in 3 FAR outweighs the ones in Andromeda.

AI Hacking,  Nuff said.


On the flip side, there are some positives that make Andromeda stand out.  Biotics wise is EXCELLENT, while I do miss things like stasis, the overall flow of using the biotics really stand out in Andromeda, and is easily just as good as 2 and 3 at its worse.

Because enemies show often show up BEFORE you enter an area/room, combined with the piercing ammo mechanics and natural thermal scope, Ryder really feels like an Infiltrator, regardless of the differences between 3 and Andromeda.  You can snipe entire squads from 2 rooms away, have perfect tactical reconnaissance, etc.

If you get the augment that resets power cooldowns after every kill, it Ryder REALLY stands out then.  And for the soldier (or any class really), combine that with high shields and health, recharge shields after every kill, use your health to have guns with unlimited ammo, a jetpack and any automatic gun with sticky grenades....Ryder is a MONSTER.  Is still miss Adrenaline Rush, but it's satisfying enough.

Andromeda is a game where you really have to deeply explore the mechanics to get the most out of its gameplay.




Also, another hot take:


Andromeda is way better if you save most of the side/loyalty missions for AFTER the main game.     




 

  

I personally didn't like it as they just seemed a really terrible match personality wise. It was put them together, because.

I like the jetpack. What I didn't like is Ryder is turned into mario jumping from platform to platform. The combat wasn't bad. What bothered me is no power wheel and not having control over squadmate actions. Because of that, I take the trilogy combat over MEA.

Most squadmates of ME3 should've been temporary ones. But all squadmates playable throughout the trilogy should've been companions in their particular missions.

Garrus is needed with the Turians, Tali with the Quarians, Ash/ Kaidan are Spectres, needed for various missions. T'Soni is the freaking Shadow Broker!

Miranda should've been in the Normandy after her mission.

Kal Reegar shoud've been one of the temporary squadmates on the Rannoch missions, and, if alive, been present on Priority: Earth.

ME3MP is the only part of the game that really shines.

He was just trying to make humanity great again....

 

I leave the attempt kill Shepard and Tali at the feet of one specific quarian admiral. I just wish we could do more than punch the bastard. The geth have a 300 year history of killing any organic they encountered before the heretics even split from the consensus and joined Sovereign. I guess it is a testament of sorts to ME3’s writing that so many seem to forget or overlook that.

The burning in Space Portland is just an idea, not an actually organization, Space Minneapolis gets what they deserve and Space California has been a dumpster fire for decades.

Firstly I ignored the Mengele part, because I have no idea who that is, and will not pretend like I do. Secondly you can dislike TIM as much as you like. But the facts are the other species have done the same, if not worse. Thirdly turians are not people, they are of a different species. Dolphins are about as intelligent as a human, but do we say they are people? Is it because they can't speak like we do, why we don't categorize them as people? No, it's because they are a different species.   

Better reference.
