Have Bioware ever written an interesting black character? Just sayin' Vivienne ? Part of her character arc felt rushed, but she was interesting. Anderson wasn't half bad... then again, you'd have to read the books to get the full impression.

At this point calling lead male squadmates boring has become a punchline for cheap laughs and dumb applause and many people (yes, guys in particular) come into most games with this kind of attitude from the get go. So I won't exactly put much weight to this particular "impression" from GameInformer.

Lets be honest... GI is rather terrible. That Cora comparison because of her hair and then suggesting the game was "horny" because of Peebee wanting a drink...

I didn't think it was that bad in this video, the guy actually divulged some interesting information, and at least the other one knew the names of things if he didn't, the Giant Bomb one on the other hand... I have to agree with projectpatdc here. A bit of research either before playing the demo or before doing this video panel would be a good thing. The guy didn't even knew how Sara's name was spelled. ps: also fix your bed hair. ps2: giant crew bomb, who are they? Here you go bshep. Actually rewatching the giant bomb video, it's not that bad at all. The Game Informer video though

I feel like a good bit of these people who previewed this game knew very little about Mass Effect: Andromeda. I get that they are fans of the first trilogy but my god, do your research and homework before you go preview a game when you're a journalist. You lose credibility. It's like you giving a business plan pitch and not knowing your own shit nor doing the research on the person/company. I didn't think it was that bad in this video, the guy actually divulged some interesting information, and at least the other one knew the names of things if he didn't, the Giant Bomb one on the other hand... Sorry, but some things were painful to hear in this video. I don't know, it seems like some of them didn't wanted to talk about the game and were only thinking about going home and sleep for the rest of the day... Not surprising, this is classic Game Informer, they only seem to be excited to talk about a game, when the developer pays them to do so.

Also used to the way these people speak about games, and that guy's look gave me a super "whatever" feel for some reason so I was prepared hahaha.The written articles were fine though. And sorry but the Giant Bomb video still seems messy to me. Good thing IGN did a good job and there are other options. I think the RPG site one is also good!

"Liam is Kaidan-esque" ......Well....I expected as much. No. No. NO.NOOOOOOOO. Kaidan is so boring, I forever regretted getting in his pants in ME1 and he is hot...but he is so boring it ended up not mattering. I got a jealousy scene in ME2 when I was like "dude I'm trying to get into Garrus pants now." Then he was back in ME3 , and I had to wait until like more than half the game to dump him during a romantic dinner I did not want to have in the first place , and yes it was all very awkward. So please God NO ! Wait, back up. You can dump him during a romantic dinner? Oh my fucking god that is awesome. Now I'm wondering if I can start to date him in my playthrough in 3, dinner dump him, and then still hook garrus up. Quick question, how fancy was the resturaunt?

Funny, I just read another preview which says quite the opposite about Liam NOT being Kaidan/Jacob 2.0 Personally from what I've seen (and heard) so far Liam is nothing like Kaidan (who I even liked) or Jacob (who I disliked).

Indeed. GI had completely missinterpreted the character. From what we know so far, Liam is basically Jacob done right with little bit of Garrus and Vega mixed in.

Now I'm wondering if I can start to date him in my playthrough in 3, dinner dump him, and then still hook garrus up. Quick question, how fancy was the resturaunt? All I wanted was a X dump Kaidan button but it kept dragging on and on...with that music.Urgh I can't find the scene I had exactly but I got the "You CHeated on me with Garrus" too. And there's no good answer from Shep , because she basically "Yeah I did" but the truth is no I DID NOT, it was not my fault if the game railroad me into all of that stupid and unnecessary drama. I'm still cringing from the whole thing. Twas comically bad.

Watched the Giant Bomb video, they were lost too, it was stil better than the "hungover" guy at the GameInformer video, but they definitely were also a bit lazy with their research about the theme of the video (Mass Effect).
They most likely only looked at some article talking bad about the ending of ME3 considering that they didn't even knew that biotic/tech powers can prime and detonate enemies. YOu don't need all three to know in details about the series but at least they should cover the basics.

Great no it wish u could have romanced Conrad. Anyways, I feel for you, everyone got railroaded in mass effect with those hair trigger romances.

When that music begins and then Kaidan started to talk i was like : " Wait...Wait...Don't go gay on me Kaidan. I like you but only as a friend.

I didn't watch the vid in case of spoilers, but, I did read the comment that the reviewer did not feel a sense of 'awe' from ME:A. That's my worry as well. I mean, I know it can't be as fresh as ME1 but I realize that has been my nagging fear about it. I'm sure the big lore quests and reveals weren't shown - the awe may lie there.

If there's more of this and other large scale fights, I'll be in awe. We already know the Remnant Vaults are going to be like small Zelda dungeons or assassins creed style temples that you have to find while exploring a planet, infiltrate, and escape.
