The Story of Mass Effect Andromeda Part 1 (Gamestop Special with BW leads)

No worries, I just ranted about the ending in accordance with the misconcepitons thrown around in the host's script and Mike/Mac's reflections.

But the video kinda comes across as this really fluffy apology video to me. It's on Gamespot for framing it that way, but I liked hearing the minor tidbits in it regarding Andromeda more. I'm just so sick of the press downplaying and undermining the actual problems of ME3 which to me only shows that as an industry we've got new standards to be set for narrative quality in general since so barebones and damaging writing can slip through so many review outlets with high scores.

It's even something which I believe PCGamer or whoever it was touched upon with Andromeda, saying that games in general need to "slow the hell down" and not rush to the instant gratification of combat or loot or "fun" at the expense of properly setting up the story.

One thing I love in Andromeda is how slow it is when you're on the nexus after the first mission. You just walk around, use the tram, talk and talk and talk. that's really good. If only the first mission was as subtle.

Agreed on the slow bit. Can't wait to take my time on the Nexus. I wish the first mission was a bit slower but I also like how abrupt it is. it accounts for the fact that you really don't have time to grieve or think.

Oh good, I was looking forward to this.

I don't understand some of this b-roll footage, though. It looks like clips of ME1, but there's a guy in N7 armor, and he... saved Kaidan? Wtf is this.

It was game informer who said that I believe. Also its gamespot not gamestop. You might wanna change that. I liked waht Yanick had to say though. Passion goes both ways

I think there is a reason he is on the Dragon Age team now. Still i respect him as the only writer to get out of ME3 with his diginity intact. Not sure, mainly because it hurts to admit you're wrong sometimes, or their ego is still so big that we the fans are wrong. Who knows? I never actually hated the endings that much, i mean they are bad there is no doubt about it. I just don't have it in me to rag on the game over and over when i actually enjoy like 80% of it. 

Well whoop die fucking doo when they almost start the video with this



There are fans, or former fans, of LOST that are also still butthurt over the ending, and it's totally understandable -- they're still passionately fans of the original trilogy as it was before it went awry.

Welp, that guy has a mental disability, but he sure knows his lore.

Ah, back in the day when games outside of companies like Rockstar allowed themselves to be politically incorrect. Still kinda immature though.
