Mass Effect Andromeda Skepticism thread

Fair enough mate: I get you , out of interest, have you tried out many of the new Isometric games by Larian/Obsidian? 

I find these games give a great amount of customization to the player, which really lends itself to BioWare levels of custom RP feels.  Games like Pillars of Eternity, Divinity: Original Sin, Wasteland 2 and even the older ones like Divinity DKS and Divine Divinity might be up your alley too

Oh Deer Hunter, you overlong ass movie you.

To be honest I've never found Geralt to be an interesting character until Witcher 3.

οH kaisershep! a familiar face!

Can't see myself ever stop playing the trilogy unless all of a sudden the games stopped working I enjoy playing them too much.

Playing Wasteland 2 now.  Recommended.  It's kept me occupied for over 40 hours so far.  Though granted I'm running down every radio transmission and investigating everything that pops up on the map...

Debunked on NeoGAF. Will edit this post once I find the link, unless someone else posts it in the mean time.

Yes. Battlefront runs at 60FPS, however. Andromeda aiming for a higher resolution with a lower framerate is to be expected, since it's an RPG and not a competitive shooter.

The same here.

I tried to like The Witcher 2 but it was so boring and what his name was so stupid of a character that it pretty much killed any interest I might have had to play the rest of the game or it's extremely over-hyped sequel.

I will gladly take DA:I and ME:A over any of The Witcher games.

Gonna have to get used to it. As far as WRPG's go it was the definitive one of this generation so far. Don't expect it to be forgotten about so easily. It didn't beat Last of Us record of awards for nothing. The voice acting, the writing, the sidequest, challegging combat everything was brilliant, and to those that call it overhyped that's a bit unfair. We haven't had that many great rpg's this generation, it deserves the hype. Overhyped would be Fallout 4. I still liked it, but it was the most disapointing game of this generation so far for me. It's like Bethesda wasn't even trying especially after dropping Nuka World. Terrible dlc. In Fallout 4's defense, I have gone back to it more than I have DAI atleast. Mods helped a lot with that, though.

As for the topic at hand. I'm hoping it's atleast better than DAI. DAI was a huge improvement over DA2, but it was still no Origins. To this day i've only played through Inquisition twice to completion and every time I try to go back to it I can't go longer than 2 hours as i'm instantly turned off by it's MMO-esque combat. It's just so bad. It really was like playing an offline mmo. What i'm really hoping is that Andromeda doesn't become shallow like DAI. DAI boasted some beautiful locales, but all of them were pretty much empty and filled with uninspired fetch quest. Please video game gods don't let this be Andromeda.

Oh no more broken classes either please. Fallout 4 & Inquisition on their hardest difficulty was cake because you become a god in Fallout 4 relatively early (they also gave you power armor every 5 minutes). In DAI most of the classes were broken to the point you didn't even need a party to solo the whole game especially Knight Enchanter (even after nerf) and Reaver. Bethesda & Bioware could learn a thing or two about balanced classes and perks.

Nuka World is a beautiful setting i'll give it that. I won't spoil anything for you. But each section of the park has a theme and all of them are one big reference to a classic popular film. That was pretty much the best thing about Nuka World. You get some good items from the gangs as well like a grenade that brings in wasteland creatures to kill your targets

It's definately better than Fallout 3. I just wish a little more effort was put into the main story. I hate the entire "Where's muh baby" arc. Didn't leave a lot of room for roleplay. You gotta hand it to them though on the factions. Well.....not all of them. Minutemen were just thrown together, and i'm pretty sure they only existed to teach the player how to use the settlement system. Brotherhood of steel & Institute but especially Brotherhood of steel were exceptionally well written. Danse had a great arc, even though they botched it.

Far Harbor was well done. The entire game should've been like it
