Just bought it in a Steam sale. I'm already afraid I wasted 5 bucks 🤣 I wouldn't say a waste. If anything, you might get a good laugh. I played the game on the ps4. I did enough playthroughs to get the platinum, but it was the insanity playthrough that got me to do several speedruns. The game is ok when doing a speedrun. On steam I bought DAI and MEA for about $12 since both were bundled together. I completed one playthrough of MEA with several mods. I tried a 2nd playthrough, but I couldn't.

The sad thing is, it could have been a decent game if they changed a few things. Like making Cora either the playable character, or making her the pathfinder. Ryder was as green as it gets. Him being the captain and pathfinder was just awkward. They could have set a more serious tone. The game was suppose to be about finding a new place to settle. Instead of focusing on that goal, most of the game is centered around the uninteresting kett and their leader. They could have thrown all the crap out, and made the game be more about the milky way species trying to make a place for themselves in a galaxy that is dominated by the angara. The player could have gone about making settlements 2 different ways. Diplomacy or through war. Instead, we got a reaper rehashing. And I'm baffled when people say Andromeda is the best game in the series, when it basically shares the same story as the trilogy.
BW could have did something interesting with it, but they failed. I'm still a bit wary when it comes to this next game. I know they got a good writer doing the heavy lifting. But the subtle Andromeda hints, is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

That is very true, but since it was one of the guys who wrote ME3's ending, and we all know how that turned out, it was no surprise that MEA turned out the way it did.

Just bought it in a Steam sale. I'm already afraid I wasted 5 bucks 🤣 The first time of playing it will be ok. Don't be surprised when the ending comes -it will be abrupt. So when you go riding in Eden be prepared for its in its twilight. Also don't be discouraged after playing if you don't want to do anything with Bioware for awhile -this is normal. I have spent years just doing other games and will remain skeptical and wary of anything EA and Bioware related till proven otherwise.

Especially if MEHEM or some deviation of it was among your playthrough... Though I prefer JEM -I think that was it -though its been so long. Not really gone back through any of it.

Andromeda is without question the best game in the franchise. ME:A Isn't the best but it isn't the worst Bioware game in existence. That falls to CrapAnthem. ME:A could be better if they had just finished the game or at least given it its THIRD ACT. A staple of Bioware games is to have a major plot twist on entry into that third act: Your Revan, Your the Spirt Monk, Collectors are Protheans ect. An example you may understand is that of Ratchet's species not being extinct but in another dimension -though I don't think that occurs right before the Third Act of one of those games. Just getting caught up on the franchise. The ME:A we got had no major plot twists, no revelations and especially no conclusions. I mean a plot twist like the Angarians being the Jardaan or the Jardaan being "Precursor" Humans -cliché as either of those two is -would still have been better than what we got which was... nothing. Personally I would have preferred this after playing ME:A... The Meridian biome is also an active rogue roaming Death Star and its your moral duty to destroy Meridian to save the galaxy or to let Meridian exist while it kills everything else not on it -now that would have been satisfying.

Especially if MEHEM or some deviation of it was among your playthrough... Though I prefer JEM -I think that was it -though its been so long. Not really gone back through any of it. Not even. I liked ME3's original ending, even without the extended cut, much better than MEA's boring-as-fuck climax where the space Hitler is defeated because you inexplicably figured out the space technology out of nowhere and everyone gets a happy future being so very damn impressed with you, snarky tween Pathfinder. ME3's end has some serious tone and atmosphere and serious science fiction concepts, and is both bittersweet and beautiful and dramatic as all hell. Andromeda's is the narrative equivalent of empty calories. Worst in the series by far. The sad thing is, it could have been a decent game if they changed a few things. Like making Cora either the playable character, or making her the pathfinder. Ryder was as green as it gets. Him being the captain and pathfinder was just awkward. They could have set a more serious tone. The game was suppose to be about finding a new place to settle.

I'm still a bit wary when it comes to this next game. I know they got a good writer doing the heavy lifting. But the subtle Andromeda hints, is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. *snorts* I bet I could find the post where I said exactly that while playing the demo when it first came out, and got a chorus of "She's only been on the Pathfinder teem six months longer than Ryder's one day! That's not meaningful difference in experience! Shut up, it's not nepotism! Also she's not 100% perfectly confident in her abilities and that obviously makes her unsuitable!" Another thing we got into it over, concerning Ryder-as-protagonist, was how SAM represented their entire relevance to the story for three fourths of the game, and when they're supposed to show that they're worth a damn even without the advantage of ChatGPT it's totally underdeveloped and hard to find meaningful.

It depends on what your issue with ME3's ending is. I didn't like the presented choices, and the fact that you completely took the Bratalyst at face value in the original ending. Then they threw in the petulant refuse ending to placate people who complained that their agency had been hijacked. In the end, I lived with the destroy ending in a "It's the best of a bad bunch" kind of way.
I was more disappointed by the lack of resolution for the characters. Not necessarily Shepard, although in light of a post-EMS destroy that might have been nice, but more the squad mates you'd amassed across three games, who BW were well aware a lot of people adored. I expected something along the lines of the DAO epilogue, and that's all it would have taken to make me happy - where did those characters end up. Instead, in the original cut of the ending we got a "Bummer, they just got stranded on that random planet". Then in the EC we got a slightly better "Oh well, at least we know they got off that random planet", and then a few random slides thrown in for some of the ME2 squad mates that weren't on the ship. For me that felt completely underwhelming. If BW had been brave enough to stick to their guns about that story, and those characters being finished, then there should have been no issue with resolving them. Instead, they played safe in case they ever had to "break glass in case of emergency" like they're doing with Liara for the new game.
That being said, it was still better than MEA IMO....

So when you go riding in Eden be prepared for its in its twilight. Also don't be discouraged after playing if you don't want to do anything with Bioware for awhile -this is normal. I have spent years just doing other games and will remain skeptical and wary of anything EA and Bioware related till proven otherwise. I started taking interest in Bioware when KOTOR happened. I was so disappointed after getting the game when the family computer couldn't run it. I did get to play later. Loved it. Its shallow today, but its a 2004 game, that's fine. Mass Effect made me a fan. Dragon Age Origins made me interested in another way. (I eventually got around to DA2 so I wasn't as immersed in any disappointment about it.) Mass Effect 2 made me move away from JRPGs as my gaming focus (and MMORPG called RIFT finished the job). Mass Effect 3 threatened making me no longer a fan. At least, I stopped being fixated on getting the next Bioware game. I did get Dragon Age Inquisition, but I think it either wasn't at launch or it was a gift to me. It did restore some faith, but I was still starting to drift away... Mass Effect Andromeda did a similar job that the recent Ant Man has done for my interest in the MCU. A big sign saying "NOPE". Not utter trash in any way or anything, but nothing to be excited about anymore, and even something to indeed be wary about, the opposite of my previous Instant Preorder state. Anthem hammered that in. Lots of other things have happened in life, sure, but usually I have the ability to preorder or immediately buy a game I'm utterly psyched up by. Bioware no longer does that for me, and its mostly not me, its them. I still think they have a lot to work with and a chance to redeem themselves. But its more-or-less only these upcoming DA and ME games (at the biggest stretch, a third game after, but that's a REALLY big stretch) left for this to happen. I can have low expectations. 80%+ of gaming time is on mobile gacha games now for godsake. But that makes it all the more impactful that MEA and Anthem affected me so. I'd still give MEA a 7 and Anthem a 6, both playable and with clearly enjoyable elements, and when I look at and play the older games I can pick them apart much easier, but there's been something lost nonetheless.

The worst thing about the ME3 endings is how we're led to believe it's some sacred cow that would cause a major uproar with a canonisation or a retcon.
You could throw the ME3 endings in the trash, and virtually no one of significance would care.

The Meridian biome is also an active rogue roaming Death Star and its your moral duty to destroy Meridian to save the galaxy or to let Meridian exist while it kills everything else not on it -now that would have been satisfying. MEA is half a BW game and no one can convince me otherwise. Its got bones. Some musculature. And then that's it. This includes the worldbuilding, plot, characterization. Its the intro experience of a big, meaty RPG... spread out over much too long a time, with wayyyy too much world activity filler. It was presented like we'd actually have the patience to anticipate another MEA 3ish years later. Like rehashing an old setup (ME1 in too many ways) like it was The Force Awakens, was enough. I don't hate much of what was included. But it was so *little*. And not as appealing about it. And often somehow worse animated/textured (design not graphics tech). There was room for not just one, but multiple twists to tell in a pretty organic fashion. The game was all setup, only minor payoff right at the end. It was a Mass Effect game that got to release, little more, to me. I don't want to decanonize it or whatever, but my disappointment has stayed.

I remember frustration when my Ryder woke up and find out whole bunch of important events happened during his sleep, world was already shaped, humans where doing just fine without anyone, doing human things (being a criminal). That sensation and excitement of stepping into the whole new galaxy was taken away from the very beginning. I dont want get into how they handled the first contact with Angara, I was facepalming during entire scene.

I would be amused if the new game opened, just after ME3, and a Jardaan ark appeared in the MW. Think about it. The Jardaan were the apex race in Heleus until "someone" kicked their butts and they had to flee the galaxy, and just as they were leaving a weapon was detonated that f**ked up that part of the galaxy for a while. Perhaps the Jaardan and the Andromeda Initiative are some sort of unintentional cultural exchange programme.....!

Now if we could find a way to implement all our ideas into a cohesive well done plot and story. ME:A would have been even better. Yet that would be a tall order to make everything fit. An order I am still apathetic toward...

Disagree about that being a staple of BioWare games. DAO, DA2, DAI, and ME3 didn’t have huge plot twists either. Any plot twists they did have are on par with MEA’s, like the Angara being a created race or the Kett using other races to make Kett(even if this is a copy of Collectors=Protheans).

Eh, the “A Warden has to die” twist wasn’t really a twist since almost everyone thought that the moment they said a Warden is the only one who can kill an Archdemon. In that thought I personally don’t count Sovereign being a Reaper as a twist since we knew Reapers were an advanced synthetic race and how many times we heard “It’s Sovereign doing this for Saren” by then. As for Solas, that wasn’t a 3rd Act plot twist but a teaser for the next game. Also personally saw him being the Dread Wolf since before the game but definitely after first talking to him but that’s just me I guess

MEA, a great game if you like the letter "A". In Andromeda we meet the Angara and our new companion Jaal Ama Darav. Sadly the Jardaan are gone. Maybe we were just there to bring them new vowels?

It's not that bad of a game after the animations improved. The story is better without the youngsters at the helm... those embarrassing moments.... What I did not like is that frozen planet.... It's more of a time sink than anything else.

All the time and resources that went into making the game OW...... If they'd even put half of that into polishing the rest of the game and keeping it semi-linear it would have been FAR better.

I've had my steelbook since day one, as I remember the game was a bit harder and the later patches made the gameplay easier, anyway it had its good and bad moments. My first playthrough was complete, and after that I did 1-2 more playthroughs in which I managed to defeat the Remnant Architects. Then the patch arrived for the game, with which one of the missions could not be completed and thus could not be progressed at that point. I did maybe 3-4 main quest only quick playthroughs of everything on insanity, but since then I haven't picked it up again and maybe I won't.

I dont know about Andromeda sucking skill but Jaal did that very well to my Scott so I guess it's kinda true in a sense

According to my PS5 I have logged played MEA for 641 hours, DA1 for 609 hours, Assassin' Creed: Valhalla 409 hours, and ME:LE 209 hours. I have played Shepard's story and have very little interest in a post-Reaper War MWG I not interested in rebuilding a failed state and any stories would just rip-offs of Battlestar Galactica which I have more than enough of in my sci-fi diet and want something more light hearted and fun. Yeah likewise I'm not really interested in going bac to a rebuilt Milky Way either. MEA might not be my fav eo fthe series but I thought it was a good follow up on the trilogy. I certainl yenjo yit moe rthan ME1 anyway .But given EA's erleases this yea rin other games I have m ydoubts they'll ge tthe nex tgam eright either way.

DAO - sacrifice DA2 - ok yeah DAI - Solas ME3 - lol wtf was that Ok, I'm being cheeky. Eh, the “A Warden has to die” twist wasn’t really a twist since almost everyone thought that the moment they said a Warden is the only one who can kill an Archdemon. In that thought I personally don’t count Sovereign being a Reaper as a twist since we knew Reapers were an advanced synthetic race and how many times we heard “It’s Sovereign doing this for Saren” by then. As for Solas, that wasn’t a 3rd Act plot twist but a teaser for the next game. Also personally saw him being the Dread Wolf since before the game but definitely after first talking to him but that’s just me I guess Sovereign being a Reaper wasn't The Twist in ME1, it was that everyone was galactic cattle since essentially forever. DAI's Solas was The Twist. You don't have to agree, but it was what people experienced with faces due to not paying enough attention. Other players are not you. Agreed with DAO but technically its at least more of a swerve than a twist.

This more or less sums up my grievances with Andromeda for me.
