Andromeda biggest weakness

No need for insults. 

Do you not see the irony in your post. 

The whole point is that you don't stay on topic! You enter all post and say how much you like the game regardless of topic.

Do you actually think before you post?


Respectfully of course. Don't want to upset you  

Not an insult bro. Just opinion.

"Go fuck yourself" would be an insult, but I wouldn't say that to you.

But now that I think about it, I wouldnt be surprised if you just trolled threads like this to try and incite insults at you so you can complain and try to get people booted.

Except I don't do that, all I said is that I felt the opposite of the Eos side quests and most of my points at least has something to do with the topic at hand. So why don't stop analyzing me.

Hmm let me see. In this thread alone you have said - 


"A low score isn't going to change everyone's mind"

"I don't care what the reviews say i love ME A and there were noticeable flaws in the me t that are often overlooked creating a double standard sometimes"

"It's not that he doesn't like the MET. It's just that it had some similar flaws and cheese like ME: A. "

But hey, lets get back on topic. 

Respectfully of course

Yeah, the death of your mother by an insane blood mage, the Arishok's slaughter of the Kirkwall people and of course Anders blowing up the Chantry. It somehow became more darker than Dragon Age Origins.

"Canon? What canon would that be?

Care to point out all these holes in the main story you've so deftly identified?

You do realize this is not a continuation of MET, but a reboot of sorts, right?"

Have you NOT been reading any of this thread or many others pointing out the MANY plot holes in this story?

Ok I will mention a few just for you, for rest you are on your own.

1) In MET whenever dealing with Krogans, front and center was the Genophage. Bioware decides they will have a "slight cure' thus not having to deal with it being around or the problems that a complete cure would cause. Ok I am cool with that but how do they explain this 'slight cure' They say that the Krogan were naturally adapting to it and they just helped it along while on the trip. The Krogan were in stasis, stasis suspends ALL body activity down to the cellular level, there is NO way genetic adaption, natural or otherwise can take place.

That's purely gameplay, and there are often differences between lore and gameplay. In any case, the responsibility doesn't fall on the writers, but the combat design.

Plenty of people die. Krogan scouts or the salarians pathfinder? It then gets brought up later on where tann or Drack will mention that decision depending on how you played it out. The Hyperion captain Dunn also died, gets a scene of the ship in disrepair and Crashing into the ground. Your twin gets captured by the archon, and tortured to help him out on activating Meridian.



I can go on where people died or there were big decisions, the issue is how much they attatched to the player. Did you feel emotion for dunns sacrifice? Having to pick the krogan scouts over the salarians pathfinder? Letting the Asari pathfinder fill-in Sarrissa keep her role even though she left the previous pathfinder to die when she had a pledge to be at her side no matter what?

the decisions/choices are there, what is questionable is did Bioware give them emotion to make us feel like it mattered. I cared for nothing at all for Alec Ryder dieing, especially when it's the first 30 minutes of the game where his development was minimal. I cared nothing for the krogan scout or salarians pathfinder choice as I knew nothing about either and it was a last second decision to the mission. I did however care for the Asari Ark decision on whether or not to let Sarrissa keep her role as pathfinder as Cora gave it some emotion and she talked about Sarrissa various times before you start the mission. She was hyped up to be a true Asari warrior, one who looks out for others but you run into the issue of her abanding her pledge to be at the Asari pathfinders side and leaving her to die for kett data that was beneficial to the initiative in the fight vs the kett and traversing the scourge. It's a meaningful decision because it can go both ways, do you condemn her for abandoning her pledge and leaving another to die even though she was known for looking out for others? Or do you let her retain her role and think the sacrifice was worth getting the data that will no doubt be a huge benefit to the initiative vs the kett and making it easier to traverse the cluster with less risks with the scourge? It also effects Cora as she's in disbelief that Sarrissa would ever do such a thing, Cora followed Sarrissa's lead of justice and she praised her for it, it was a blow to Cora seeing everything she said about Sarrissa was ultimately false due to Sarrissa abandoning g the Asari pathfinder, while also not bringing it up to the others attention as well as Sarrissa planned on keeping it quiet so others wouldn't know about it which just made things worse for Cora and caused a bigger rift between Sarrissa and the Asari captain of the Ark. after all of this, you then give the role of pathfinder to an under trained young Asari who was already a nervous fighter, which itself can cause worry as you're giving a huge responsibility to someone who will have more pressure on them being they're so green and young, and having to live up to the role of pathfinder. 

in short, I do think Andromeda has a few emotional moments of meaning, but there are also some that don't. That's where Bioware needs to pick up from, make all the decisions have meaning and an after effect to really show that choice go through. Personally I thought the Asari Ark/Coras loyalty mission was perfect on demonstrating that Bioware can make an engaging game have great moments choices that matter while having an after effect.

By far the biggest weakness(es) to the game is the painfully slow travelling on and especially between planets. As efficient and as streamlined the combat system is, navigating to objectives is unnecessarily sluggish. I found myself frustrated particularly on my first playthrough because I just wanted to progress story elements or engage in major combat objectives, and was bogged down travelling back and forth between objectives. If Bio implemented planet to planet fast travel stations using just the takeoff and landing animations for each respectively, that would be a big improvement.
