Mass Effect Andromeda Skepticism thread

omg Geralt is secretly Italian??????


AWESOME

W3 still hasn't been discounted enough for me to seriously consider purchasing yet. The GOTY edition was 40% off but that still left it at $30 which is too high, when it's 60% off, ie $20, then I'll probably buy it. Mainly for Triss boobs. I AM interested in Cyberpunk 2077 though. Hopefully that has really awesome story and gameplay. Yeah and then out of nowhere comes this amazing Cyberpunk MMO...ah. This is what happens when I can't sleep...I start imagining ridiculous things.

Fun thread though. I am hoping ME& isn't terrible. No doubt it's going to sell well, however the more relevant question is Will it be a fun game to play? There isn't much point speculating on that though, we really don't know until March 21.

This poll needs a "no idea" option. I personally know to little of the squad mates and have seen too little gameplay to even make a vague guess at this point.

Ironically, there seem to be some DAI mechanics that might work better with MEA than with DAI itself. Like establishing outposts - it makes more sense to me if they are fired down from orbit (like the space marine base buildings in Dawn of War) than just popping into existence.

EDIT: I'm a huge Witcher fanboy, but jeez, at some point you just gotta stop...

Maybe too much. Half of what they revealed wasn't even in the game, thus, I surmise is why the ME team is holding off on telling too much.

About DAI's marketing campaign tactics. My issue with it was that they majorly marketed the pre alpha build while the beta (more important) received little coverage by contrast. Right now MEA is starting to look like the inverse of that.

Which one? Crafting. Not DAI exclusive. War table? ME3 done that before.

The way things were executed in DAI is what really brings the game down. I have the feeling the story turned out rather short to they had to fill the game with stuff for us to put hours into without really going in-depth with them. If I could solely play the main missions in the get-go, it would have been a much more enjoyable experience, it already is, but you get what I mean. More missions like the one we lose to Cory, would have been spectacular.

The game won't fail because it's a shooter.  Make a game where you can shoot aliens in the face and people will buy it, no matter how cr*ppy.

AS for the marketing, DAI's "Fires Above" trailer told us more about DAI a year before release than what we know about MEA less than three months before it drops.

I'm sure they will sell more than enough.

Come one, that's an exaggeration. We do know more about the basic premise of the game as well as the protagonist.

I grant you we know the name of the protagonist, but we don't know sh*t about the story beyond "EXPLORATION!" and "ANDROMEDA!"

Heck we don't even know how many companions we have!

Edit:  For crying out loud, we have entire threads focused on the gameplay trailer trying to figure out what the gameplay is going to be like!  Less than three months before release!  By then we were already getting an idea on teh new perk system for Fallout 4!

I never said they shouldn't have revealed more at this point. I said they revealed more compared to TFA trailer, which didn't say nothing on the backstory, the protagonist, the companions, and tons of stuff (which is normal, obviously). 

Backstory, we saw the freaking Breach!  We see several demons and Red Templars, and the siege of Adamant.
The Protagonist:  Morrigan is talking to the protagonist (ie, the Inquisitor ie you)
Companions:  We see Cassandra, Varric, Iron Bull, and Morrigan. That's already two more companions and one more NPC advisor than we've seen in MEA thus far.
