Hrungr , do you recall a tweet about last year N7 trailer, where they stated that Shepard's speech was for the players and not really happening in the games? I recall seeing it here recently but I can't find it.
Does anyone remember how the devs said or at least wanted that the game will have a reveal similar to the Fallout 4 reveal back than on E3? Maybe EA is to blame in all of the lack of information because they don't want to steal the spotlight from their other new games such as BattleField 1 and TitanFall 2.
They failed with this plan when they announced a new Mass Effect in 2014
Yeah. I keep checking the thread for new substantial info, but...it's lacking. I appreciate that Devs aren't so tight lipped, but these vague answers and Game Informer tidbits are driving me crazy. It feels more like behind the scenes scoops; interviews with Art Directors, videos about the direction Bioware wants to go in, information we've heard several times before but reiterated in a different order. I wasn't expecting like, an omnibus of info, buuuuuut, certainly more than this.
So, yeah, I agree with the above mentioned that Bioware should have released given us little to no info until now, four or so months to release. At least then all this info would be new, more exciting.
I think that EA learn from Bethesda's ''silent'' approach with Fallout 4, which worked great for them, as FO4 sold well even if it was not the best from the series to say the least.. Still, I'm almost sure that we will have some more info in the coming weeks. Stay positive people

So? I'm not talking about knowing how the Earth looks, but simply moving around in the search for opportunities. As you said, we can't even talk about proper charting before the last few centuries.
What do you mean "so?" You claimed humans would thoroughly explore an area before moving on to another, and I gave you a 100% verifiable example of that not being true.
This isn't a debate. Your view of human migration is completely false. Everything we know about human migratory history proves that.
The only way that view could be considered accurate would be if your idea of human exploratory history begins with Columbus, and even that would be verifiably false.
You didn't undestand what I meant.
I'm saying humans would try find the easiest place that has what they need. If you go back hunter and gatherers they would always been on the move for a number of reasons, trying to find what they needed to survive. My point is just that they wouldn't make a huge, periously journey if they thought a smaller, less riscky one was available. And is worth pointing out that there is nothing systematic here, it's a natural movement.
We are assuming the sleeping colonists were recruited with their consent? What if some of those missing colonists we learn about during Mass Effect wasn't because of the Collectors but actually recruited for the Andromeda Initiative and they wasn't accepting their recruits refusing their request? That would be one way to keep the program quiet if no one outside of the program is actually aware what's going on? Not sure about the other races but that recruitment video makes me wonder if this is what the awakening colonists are faced with once they're revived so they assume they volunteered since their short term memory is seriously messed up by the suspended animation process? Is that actually a possibility?

Hmm... not off the top of my head.
I don't think it was ever confirmed or debunked but I cannot say for certain and I've been unable to find anything about it.
Personally, I think it was directed towards the players but again, I don't have a Word of God to confirm that with.
Nicholas Deacon @lliraeden any further update? Still no sign of a Deluxe Ed. On PS4 to pre-order in the U.K.! 😭
Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon No updates, sorry. I'm told it's just a matter of time until UK retailers have it.
I wonder if the same applies towards a Deluxe Edition of the PC version. On Gamestop.dk, it says on the cover of the standard edition that it is a PC download but if so then I would find it wierder if it turns out that is no "physical" Deluxe Edition for PC especially since that there is for Xbox and Playstation. Then again, it may be because Gamestop.com seem to not like to advertise anything for PC: I can only find it on Gamestop.dk.
On the bright side, I like the standard edition's cover the most so perhaps I can buy a "physical" copy at the store and then have it upgraded online to the Deluxe edition.
Kostas Karayannis @kkarayannis One thing I’ll miss in ME:A is @jhaletweets. Was hoping for a cameo, maybe as a recording?
Jennifer Hale @jhaletweets .@bioware ? cause I'd love that 🤓
Tom Taylorson @taylorson Can someone get this happening? Might be a little selfish in asking here cuz I could then say I had a scene w/ Ms. Hale...
Murray @nekrotal @taylorson The Tempest has an Avina, but it's just FemShep talking about your disingenuous assertions.
Tom Taylorson @taylorson "Ok, let's stop these guys." "Yeeeaah...I mean... you can try..." "...every time..." "Well if you were BETTER at your JOB..."
Tom Taylorson @taylorson "OK, Shepard you can..." "They say you may get more than 3 games." "...and?" "...I only needed 3." "I'm so deactivating you..."

MEA just won most wanted game in the Golden Joystick awards!
BTW: This award show is terrible - not for choices, but a big "Fuck you" to the audience in production. UGG
Hopefully the keighley award show is done better. It was pretty good last year right? Less celebrity ass-licking and more down to earth gamer centric...

By your comment, I take it that you have not watch the Fallout 4 presentation. If you didn't, I urge you to do that.
True, Bethesda were very VERY silent about FO4, but when they officially announced the game, they just shown everything that the game can do (without almost any plot spoilers) and the launch date was about half a year. What's more, they even launched an extremely mobile game that shot itself straight to the #1 app chart.
I'm not saying that EA and Bioware should have done the EXACT same thing, but I do think that they should have provided with some more Gameplay footage and not just tease us for 2 years. You don't have to play coy with the fans. And certainly don't take a franchise that is so loved by many (one of the largest of EA's) and talk about so many changes and not show any of it, even after promising to have new material for the N7 day and after that many fans felt disappointed due to lack of info about the game.
In short, Mass Effect is a much loved and cared universe and you can't tease so far without fans being raged a bit...

What happened?
Nothing eventful. Just audio kept cutting in out, they cut away from what was going on too early at times. Some awards were glossed over and rushed through, while others were spent with long "Thank you for this award" videos. Preshow interviews were boring, interviews during the show were sped through. The host of the stream seemed unprepared, too falsely excited, and unconvincing. The actual host of the show was cringe worthy in his humor - and clearly has not a clue about any of the shit that was really going on. I mean, it felt amateurish. In any event, I am sure the one on Dec. 1 will be much better (I hope).
On a lighter note, I did enjoy seeing some awards that I voted for win .
Liam liamous Chain blue screens of death. :/ not exactly how I expected my Friday to go...
Fixing this must be Liam's loyalty mission.
Heh, maybe that's why Liam keeps dying. He's the companion most prone to die because the developers keeps sending him alone against foes as petty payback for all the times his loyalty mission has blue screen'd on them.
