'I like or love the game' (General feedback)

I thought the game as a whole was great. I loved all of the characters even though I thought Peebee was going to get on my nerves at one stage and become a Sara. The problem I see at the moment is Bioware are putting annoying stuff in the game where it really doesnt need to be there. For example, I dont need to be nagged 15 times in the space of 3 minutes to go to a marker. I'll go when im damn good and ready. I also dont need to be verbally told of mining areas or that I am in a dangerous environment every 30 seconds. I can see it written on my HUD.

However, the amount of side quests is gross and im loving it. There is always something to do in this game the script is well written and very funny at times. All in all a solid 8/10. Good job Bioware.

Quick question: Already thinking about my second PT and one of the things that keeps on coming back to me is should I try to put an explosive augment on a Black Widow. Now the question is sticky grenades, regular contact grenades, or the normal ammo for the Black Widow is better? Which has the fastest time to target? Does any of them effect the damage noticably? Is there a noticable difference between the quality of one or the other?

- I just started Drack's loyalty mission and so far it's a blast. After couple of days of not playing, I'd almost forgotten how much I actually enjoy this game. I've liked most of the missions and sidequests. Haven't been bored by almost any of the side content this far. Very solid game, that way. I think it does so many things so well - but also is terrible at few crucial things like dialogue and roleplay. So it's a love/hate thing almost. At times I love the game and others not so much. Hah.

- I like my squad the more I spend time with them. Sometimes it's just small bits of dialogue that remind me of why I like some of them (easy to forget when there's such a long periods when they have literally nothing new to say). Still wish conversations and interactions with them were better. Feels like banter is almost the better way to get to know them here (which is not necessarily or probably good). Only one I feel almost total apathy for is Kallo. Perhaps it's just that no one can really compare to Joker, but somehow he just feels like the most bland and boring crew member yet.

Recently finished my first play through and I have no regrets about ordering it. Loved it, w/o a doubt. Hopefully they won't wait another 5 yrs before continuing the story.

The salarian ark mission is probably one of my favorite missions in the entire franchise.

Also, I enjoy the Archon a great deal more than Saren. 

I finished the game yesterday, 99%, the only things left are 3 tasks that got bugged so I can't properly finish them. Now I'm here sitting and looking at my massive backlog and trying to resist the temptation of rolling a BroRyder and start a second playthorugh, instead of waiting for a while, at least until I read Nexus Uprsing (which is waiting in my book backlog lol) as I had planned. So yeah, I liked it. A lot.

My body is ready to investigate that distress call, Tiberius, just saying. You know which one. 

I finished my first playthrough a week ago and all of those last five years were a rollercoaster of emotions. I was so angry after ME3's ending, that I thought I would never play any ME game again, but it started to calm down after every DLC. After Citadel DLC I was reminded what was really important in a trilogy - that it wasn't an ending, but a journey and friends we meet along the way. So I started to feel hopeful for the next installment, but somewhat cautious. The more info on Andromeda I got, the more hyped I became and just before an end of embargo on reviews I was hyped as much as I was for ME3. And then those reviews started to emerge... I was shocked, I was angry and I was afraid. It seemed Andromeda was just bad, bad characters, plot, everything. But I thought that still, this is a game of franchise in which I invested over 1000h, just in games, and I don't even count books, comics, fanfics etc. so at least what I should do was to try it myself. That was the best decision I could have made.

I loved Andromeda from first minute to the last (almost). Yeah, it's not a perfect game, you couldn't skip travelling between planets, not very memorable music, minor bugs, but those problems never made me think "shit, I really can't stand it". The things I care the most about any game, especially ME game, are characters and plot, and both are great in my opinion. Great enough, that despite all of those weaker parts, I still give this game 9/10. I love every single crew member and I never expected that I will see them as my family - OT needed three games to emulate that feeling. Ryder in my opinion is even better protagonist than Shepard and I might started to develop a slight obsession over her . Almost every supporting character is well developed, so I might not like them, but always for a good reason, and often enough I still have respect to them (*ekhm* Addison *ekhm*). Plot was very interesting. Those mysteries about Angara, Remnants and later parts really sucked me in a plot, like a black hole. I barely slept that week, 3-4 hours per day and I still woke up as if I had a full night of good sleep, ready for anything that Andromeda was there to give. And while I never really cared about our main villain I see a great potential for future games - about his race and inner politics. Also about the Scourge, Benefactor, Remnants and many more. It's for me like ME1 in Andromeda and that's why I love it so much.

I'm liking the game a lot more than I did at first. Faces still aren't perfect and the lighting is still driving me crazy. I wish there were more cinematics, more Renegade interrupts narrative actions, and less auto-dialogue. But ultimately the main + companion quests + some side quests are really fun, and I love how new things pop up unexpectedly (ex when you scan the satellite and it opens up a whole new quest). I don't think it is up to the MET standards in terms of writing, but Ryder has also grown on me and I like the character. The game is a slow burn; it doesn't wow out of the gate, but roughly 1/4 to halfway through it really picks up steam and starts developing its lore and enemies and all that. The Metacritic average is a little harsh. My 8 has now become a solid 8.5. I think it is maybe more enjoyable than Fallout 4, but not more so than TW3. It is a good game, and it's sad that they had to rush it out before it was ready.

Ohh... that is really quite wonderful. I might just make a Scott-PT one day. I just really like them being connected and caring for each other.

Feel the same way.

I'm at the same part of the story as you, and worried I'm near the endgame. Kadara, a 'hive of scum and villainy' to be sure This game is so big, and I've enjoyed the heck out of it - don't want it to end. So I'm just exploring, (just got to Eladeen) and taking my time.
