Mass Effect Andromeda Skepticism thread

I don't get all the hate Dragon Age 2 is getting. I prefer it a lot over Origins. Inquisition is my favourite game of the series. They all have flaws and in my opinion Origins has the worst combat as it quickly becomes a chore and then isn't even cool to look at. 

I also don't get all the love The Witcher is getting. I played the first game for 90 Minutes...I stopped after that because the combat was absolutely unbearable and the Story up to that point wasn't enough to make me play it anyway. I managed to put about 9 hours into The Witcher 2...same thing again, didn't like the combat at all...didn't help that I didn't like Geralt too, which was an even bigger issue. I didn't even bother with Witcher 3 mostly for the later reason (not liking Geralt), but I don't expect that they suddenly figured out how to get the Combat System to a point where I like it. I recognize it's probs a very good game, but not just for me. It'll be interesting to see if CDPR can deliver on the expectation they build up on their next game.

Also, one thing I think many people don't appreciate about Bioware is, that they actually release different games. All games of the Mass Effect series are distinct and are not just a new iteration of the same formula with minor tweaks, like the (yearly) releases of many other game companies. Despite being owned by EA, Bioware is actually quite tame when it comes to shitty market practices. Of course there is the whole "From Ashes DLC" debacle of Mass Effect 3, but at least we don't need a chart for where we get what pre-order bonuses...or are told to pre-order the game before release. Some may sneer at the micro transactions for Multiplayer, BUT the Multiplayer DLC are released for everyone and don't divide the community.

Of course there are things I don't like and the Mass Effect 3 ending was so bad it shattered my enjoyment for board based Mass Effect RP. The writers clearly dropped the ball on the Mass Effect series overarching Reaper Plot. But I also think they did excellent on the Genophage and Geth/Quarian conflict. "Someone else, might've gotten it wrong".

They also showed in Dragon Age that they can handel an overarching plot and they managed to make it my favourite High Fantasy universe.    

Less than 35 days to go and we get minor blips of poorly edited gameplay trailers that are less than 2 minutes long.

The Nvidia GeForce gameplay was more insulting than the vga trailer. Is it too much to ask for a proper gameplay reveal? Before Doom released we had multiple gameplay videos 10-20 minutes long showcasing the game months beforehand for a 15hr game. Is Bioware not confident with their product?

It's the DAI marketing campaign all over again and I'd expect we get shitty twitch streams of the game nearing launch but come on.

Side note: game isn't really wowing me on the graphics department like Witcher 3.

May be because of that?  cdn.shazoo.ru/190020_WJEpLiWfjR_tumblr_olbbcvi6wm1sn2dtbo1_1280.jpg


See. some people know how to handle 3D models.

You changed the title of the pool after a fair amount of votes.

Well then, my opinion matters more than a biojihadis since I've invested more into Bioware than they have. You despise anything critical towards Bioware and their recent sjw tripe of characters they've created. Congrats. Why are you here in my thread?

Yep
