I have no idea where else to chit-chat!
One hour in, and have to leave the game, but it was hard to do. Really like the character so far, and dialogue is a little slow, but I see that I can space through a line to eliminate the pauses. Overall, need to start figuring out how to fight and what powers to give my Tishujen Ryder (since OMG, I hit Level 2!!!) And how to take screeshots. I have a bunch of days off starting tomorrow, and I will need to set a timer to remember to stretch!
Overall, I landed on the Habitat 7 (I think), met Liam (who looks better in the game than on pictures), explored an alien space ship pushing buttons I should not have pushed, and defended Cora's team from the first attack.
Then another spaceship came, and I finally got shot down, and had to quit the game, hoping that the Autosave is close to my first demise. Heh.

I ended up buying a physical copy of the game from Amazon since Prime members get a discount, and it arrived today. So I open the package to find out that it isn't an actual game disk, but a plastic package containing a redemption code. Now, I know those are a thing, and it's fine since I already had the trial installed on my computer, but I did find it...odd, and a little amusing. It was cheaper to buy a plastic box containing a piece of paper with a code on it, which had to be shipped express to my house in order to arrive on the 21st, than it would have been to simply buy the game through Origin and activate it right there. That doesn't make any sense to me, but ok I've landed on Habitat 7 and found two others of the team, but I'm going in and out of the game playing with the graphics settings. I don't mind the framerate I get on ultra, but I noticed my GPU temperature was sticking to the mid-80s, and I'd like for it to run a little cooler.

Ryder died. And again. I am terrible at this game. Also having some problems figuring out cover (or, exactly what IS cover). The little red enemy dots on a parallel line makes it more difficult to get a beat on where the enemies often are. At least for me. Granted, I have never been very good at shooters, but I got by in the original series using Pause/Aim. I'll try again later...

I got attacked from behind by a critter that I had no idea was coming because there is no overhead view of the battlefield. It's annoying.

Well, I checked out MP, pretty cool, though so far my achievements amounted to identifying all buttons. And running around screaming.

I woke up. I wish I was still asleep That's habitat 7? Ok. Lets turn the ship around and go back home. That planet looks like a loss cause I fell out of the shuttle. Hey? Remember that song? Catch me I'm falling? hahahaha. Look at me Superman. I don't need a cape. the Liam guy says we need to find the others. Who are these ugly looking things. Forget the rules. Shoot them first, then ask questions I feel like a bada** having a jetpack. Too bad I can't fly around. Its the Cora girl. Need to find dad Fight more of the uglies. Hmmm. I need to come up with a different word for them. Uglies is used for the reaper ground forces Hi dad. Cool. I get to fight with my dad. On no. I can't breath. My dad is dead. It doesn't make sense. Did he have to die? No. I'm going back to Earth to tell Bioware to fix that problem I got the sam thing in my head. Great. Like I need anymore voices in my head. That's the nexus? Just talk to some nexus people. I'm not only a pathfinder, but a problem solver as well. Yeah. I know. I keep asking myself why I joined the project. In my next life, I won't make that mistake again Too bad there wasn't a papa John's. I could go for a pepperoni and mushroom pizza Lets go see this ship they're giving me Not bad. Meet the crew. They're ok. I changed the color of my casual wear. I kicked myself for not bringing my Carolina Panthers hat. Maybe we could go back to Earth to get it? Ok. Lets go to a planet to find a path. I mean that's what I do. Right? Find paths? hahahaha

It's got a setting so you just press "print screen" and it saves all screenshots to a folder for you (video too, with a different hotkey). Is that available to you?

Nice to see one of these for Andromeda. Ah, it reminds me of the good old days So, believe it or not, I'm 9 hours into the game and finally reached Eos(lol, I know) (and yah, I did it all today, LMAO) Woke up in Andromeda. Discovered that I'm 1 year late to the party. I'm exploring and chit-chating with everyone I find and met some other species representatives, like Nyreen Kandros' cousin, Tann the Salarian, not-Eve and a woman who was very unhappy with all the situation. (Sorry, can't remember all those names, hahaha) Found Liara's recordings on Dad's Cabin, got a Pyjak on my ship and met all the crew members(some I can't remember, there's this guy Gil and the one that helps this scientist salarian pilot(Kallo Jett, my man)). He's a fine dude. Oh, and saw Dad's recording. Ambassador Goyle. Nice to see a familiar face from the books Scanned all the planets available until Habitat-1, took some nice screen captures from the bridge (Damn, those visuals). And got my butt kicked on MP, didn't complete one single mission (0/2). I need some time to get used to using a PS4 instead of PC (keyboard) and the combat as well. And downloaded the Apex HQ App from Playstore. Nice feature, if you ask me. Edit: And I'm like Randy Orton now. "I hear voices in my head, they talk to me" Thank you, SAM.

I'm majorly lousy at shooters so poor Sara died a few times. She also got bored talking to everybody but had to pretend she was listening. I don't understand why Cora questions why dad picked his kid to be the pathfinder instead of her when, as far as I can tell, dad did what he did to save his kid's life. It was an spur of the moment action of deciding whether he died or his kid died and wasn't a slight on Cora. Or did dad punch buttons on his omni tool specifically to tell Sam to make his kid the new pathfinder?

If we had a better introduction and understanding of her relationship with Alec it might've felt more genuine. I always assumed they were going to hook Cora up to Sam, but it wouldn't take, and then it had to be us. The whole becoming Pathfinder was very rushed and weird. Loved Alec's sacrifice though. Is this spoilers? Myself i met some funky aliens, and i love them.

I put it at narrative gameplay because I know there're a lot of running around. I don't want to be caught up fighting brutes; I can do that in the MPs. Anyway, I got stuck with the glyphs. I scanned all the three monoliths at Eos and found three but the tracker says I'm missing one; annoyed. I'm guessing I'm going to be very put out by the puzzle. Actually, I'm stuck at the second monolith on Eos. There's stone platforms that's supposed to be activated by the interfaces but all of them are powered off. I've no idea how to power them back on. I'm running fruitlessly around looking for the power source. P.S. Oh. I didn't realise / forgot I've to kick off the meeting with PB. Anyway, all solved. Including the puzzles; not as whacky as I thought it'd be. P.S. II PB, I want to throw you to the Reapers, then you come and tell me that dinky line again. I'll believe you then. Some pics. *yawn* I'm ready to ... *yawn* never mind ... Splendid? You have strange ideas for what goes for splendid. I'm not finding anybody I'd want to romance. *shrug*

Fumbling with puzzles. Figuring out how to get the mako out of the Tempest for half an hour, how to swap mates, how to color my clothes... Al those little things you take for granted when you are too familiar with a game. Upgrading weapons/armor is still misty.
I am thankful for the "kiddie mode" = narrative gameplay so I can work my way up to adult gameplay. Aiming isn't my thing but doing it real time fast paced, well.... Hope one day I will manage "normal".

Before doing any scanning, I found this on the Nexus in my dad's quarters. It is now in my cabin. landed on the planet eos. Its ok. Just a big rock with a lot of sand. I would not suggest bringing your shovel and pale here come the kett. Look at my new dune buggy. Its ok. I prefer my corvette when I was living on Earth that sam voice is very annoying. I'm thinking of beheading myself. Hmmm. Is that even possible? more remanant stuff What the----? An asari jumps on me? Get off me. she says her name is peepee. Wait a minute. She said peebee. I think I'll call her queecee. Get it? drive around activating these consoles fight more kett. Met a krogan. He's called Drack finally the vault door is opened. its a gravity well. geronimo. that was fun. Do want to do it again? Yeah. So do I. This would make for a great ride3 at an amusement park. hahahahaha Oh no. That's what happens when you touch something you're not suppose to. RUN the asari with the paint stripe on the eyes wants to join. Sure. Why not. Not like I have choice in the matter. Its Drack. I like this guy. He joins I will head back to the Nexus.

Good to see this thread for MEA. So, my blind run thus far... Sara's up first and I tried the cc to customize her looks. Didn't turn out the way I wanted, which was forgivable, because my first character in DAI was not that great either. Needs some practice, but I like the fiery orange bob hairstyle I gave my Sara to match with her light green eyes! I'll try to get a pic of her for my next update. I didn't care that she stood out from everyone else during cutscenes. The way I'm playing her is she's blunt; a bit of a firecracker; and challenges authority who tries to mess with her. (Looking at you, Addison and Tann.) As for her crewmates, she might mellow out a bit when she gets to know them better. Might... but no promises. About Commander Shepard, I ran with the idea that Sara looked up to him/her. I picked FemShep for this run, but it'll still be the same if I went with Male Shepard. I left Scott in his default look, but Alec looked good with the preset 3 I chose for Sara. She's close to them, because family sticks together. However, she thought her dad was nuts when he passed on the pathfinder title to her after saving her life on Habitat 7. Speaking of Habitat 7, before going there, Sara accidentally pointed the pistol in the locker room. Cora was like, "Careful, Ryder. Good thing the safety lock is on." I at that. I like Cora and Liam so far. Stay on Sara's good side, you two. Falling out of the sky and gracefully landing on Habitat 7, I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Kept looking at the map to see if I was going in the right direction. Sara fell off a lot of steep cliffs. It also took me a while to figure out the abilities (ie. jump jet, sprint, holster weapons, etc) on my control pad. The combat's fun so far. Things got a little dicey when Sara and Liam met up with Cora. Sara died once in this battle, but during the rest of the mission, she fared out well. Planning for her to become an Infiltrator. Aside from tactical cloak, I added barricade and shockwave when she reached level 2. Right now, Sara, Liam and Cora are on the Nexus. Met up with cool Turian security guy, Kandros, and the haughty Addison and Tann. Sara stood up to these two. It was great! The krogan girl, who intervened, she's alright, but Sara didn't need saving. So, that's where I left off. At first, I wasn't excited about MEA, but when I started playing the game for myself, I'm enjoying it so far. Mostly combat and my Sara being a firecracker right from the get go. Till next time!

I picked up with my default Scott, who was on Habitat 7, and left default Sara on Eos, still trying to figure out the Nomad's controls. I also couldn't figure out the glyph thing with her, but managed to with Scott. Must remember to Think Vertical.
Why can't I change my armor at the wardrobe?
I think it might be my low settings, but I can't get any colors for casual wear other than brownish green, red, and wannabe black. I hate the white everywhere, so I damn sure am not going to wear it too. The Hyperion and the Nexus both feel like a hospital - sterile and stinky - which isn't comforting in the least.
Finished up last night.....erm, this morning? ....exploring the vault on Eos. Unfortunately there is still radiation everywhere so I'm not sure what I accomplished. Still have side stuff to explore there so that will be what I do next.
The load-out screen is very confusing. The first time it presented itself, I picked my weapons, hit confirm, and expected it to go to the next thing I needed to pick. Nope - confirm means I'm done with everything, even if I didn't know it. I don't like that it doesn't cycle through squadmates, weapons, mods, etc. automatically. Even a "next" button or something would be nice, instead of having to manually click each thing.
Overall, the UI is messy but I'm getting used to it. If you haven't discovered it yet, hitting "Tab" will take you out of most menu screens and back to the game, so you don't have to hit "ESC" 500 times.

I finally figured out some components of R&D and how "desconstructing" weapons and armor you have will give you raw materials. I was clueless before. I still don't know how to get more Platinum. I really want hyperguardian armor but I don't have enough Platinum. I hate mining

I did get back in the game last night, and finally made it to the Nexus. Cover was still an issue, but I began to get a better grasp of what could be used for cover and what wouldn't cut it. Not being able to tell which direction the enemies are coming from, was still a problem. Placed Cora and Liam in "odd" spots because of it. Doh! Oh well..still made it through, and Samuel L. Jackson bit the dust. (yes....my choice of character chooser was head #9. Daddy looked like Sam L. ) Picked up a few side quests on the Nexus. Have no idea how to do much of anything in the menus yet (i.e. crafting/modding/yada-yada), but I suppose that will come later. As for my SisRyder (Chase Ryder), I knew about the high mouth problem, so I made sure to lengthen her chin and lower her mouth a bit. She STILL ended up with her mouth damn close to the bottom of her nose! Meh....hopefully BW does bring in a Black Emporium style transformation mirror (or stylist/barber/Dr. Chakwas "plastic surgery" stations). Due to not having my new GPU yet, I turned off/lowered some settings for my GTX970 FTW card, just to ensure decent fps. It did the trick, but lots of screen tearing and jaggies. *shrug* I'm not sweating that though, especially since I am getting the upgrade. I did do a clean install of the latest Nvidia drivers before starting the game. Assumed it helped. That's it for now. I did make a suggestion to the mods of this site, about a Combat/Strategy/Gameplay section. Mostly because I have a strong suspicion that I (at least) am going to have a lot of questions regarding profiles, crafting, armor/weapon stuff. It seems that the mods are interested in adding a subsection for this, sometime after or around the 28th.
