Don't disappoint me, Andromeda

I've been disappointed since the day it was confirmed we are ditching Milky Way, for reasons.

But that was over a year and half ago, so I wasn't exactly fair. I guess it just took me until few days ago to come to terms with that.

Shit I can be rather bitter and stubborn.

Andromeda already disappointed you 35 minutes ago.

As usual I have no idea what you're smoking but under no circumstances at all could ME:A ever be described as a strategy game.

I was disappointed the moment they unveiled the title. Milky Way or Bust.

Problem is not every gamer has the same outlook. Coming from someone that primarily likes single player games in futuristic or modern settings, I could only name about a dozen worth owning from 2007-2017 right now. Considering the global economy is still shit, not everyone has a large supply of disposable cash. I'd be extremely lucky if I could buy 3 games I genuinely liked for that year for full retail

Example:

2007:
Call of Duty 4
Halo 3
Mass Effect 1

2008:

Nothing worth enjoying

2009:
Resident Evil 5
Modern Warfare 2
F.E.A.R. 2
Arkham Asylum

2010:
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Mass Effect 2

2011:
Saints Row 3
Arkham City

2012:
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
Sleeping Dogs

2013:
Saints Row 4
Splinterr Cell: Blacklist
Deus Ex: HR Director's Cut

2014:
Nothing worth getting

2015:
Arkham Knight
Halo 5 (only for gameplay)


2016:
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Infinite Warfare

Hmmm that's an interesting analysis.

Yes, everyone's different, but it makes senses to set a bar appropriate to what you like.

Using your example I also noted which games I really enjoyed since 2007:


Typically there are only 2 or 3 games each year I really enjoyed.
Amusingly our tastes only concur with Mass Effect and, er, Saints Row IV... 

Well i jumped on the Bandwagon at ME2...and i absolutely loved that game. ME3 was great too and i felt the desperation and hopelessness in both of those games...the way Shep would give his cheesy pep talk before he sent you into that last mission on the brink of death was golden classic stuff.

I understand these are pathfinders and explorers, but the happy go lucky dialogue just doesn't vibe with me at this point. Yes Sara and Peebee are young adults but given the gravity of the situation, the dialog still needs to be a bit more serious or darker..."hey thanks buddy....and thanks for joining the team!.."


I just hope the overall dialog is reeled in a bit when it comes to these characters because while they are young, they are still in a position of somewhat military atmosphere and the while the story isn't s heavy as the Reapers, the gravity of finding and exploring new planets and even fighting these unknown creatures needs for these characters to craft their personalities within these moments more seriously....

Just judging the game on that small scenario we've seen so far and of course the full game could change my mind completely.
