Mass Effect Andromeda Hand-To-Hand Combat

They could set up a skill tree to unlock/upgrade H2H combat skills and reset how many times you want. Oh that kind of style is only for certain classes such as Infiltrator, Soldier, & Engineer.

This is why they need to recruit designers who are experts of stealth mechanics and H2H choreographers to have players to enjoy and experiment different styles of gameplay. And I agree that the enemy archetypes are silly, the Cerberus Phantoms are so MGS and lame. I kinda expected to fight an elite unit of commandos similar to Splinter Cell Blacklist or the Spec Ops from Ghost Recon Future Soldier.

Not bad but Sam Fisher's enhanced interrogation methods are better @ Splinter Cell: Conviction.

I still belive that the first part of the Citadel DLC was mean for a pseudo-stealth approach, but it failed to deliver

That was disappointing the way stealth mechanics were shitty and the gun looks ugly. I expected the pistol would have a integrated silencer and looks like a handgun not an over sized pistol.

Wow that's dumb on BW's part. How disappointing......

It makes you wonder of what's going on with them, I mean are the designers are either retarded that they can't create stealth mechanics or just plain ol' lazy. I mean Shepard is Special Forces he/she should've been an adept to stealth and silently takedown ended without raising an alarm. *sigh* How disappointing.......

Unless you're a Krogan
You can effectively run a full melee Krogan squad in ME3 multi (at least against Geth)

In a world where we have Biotics that can enhance speed and give barriers? Disagree 100%
For "normal" humans I get what you're saying and melee would only be fit for extreme stealth and then bang, ninja time and or after disarming enemies somehow (devices, shots, whatever). But when you can have biotic dash and biotic barriers close quarrters combat is totally possible, and in fact I'm surprised we haven't seen more "biotic monks". Your punches can unleash explosive blasts, it is more plausible a ME Monk than a D&D Monk. "Monks" in ME lore would be a lot more competitive than monks in D&D when it comes to the physics of things.

BTW I played a "monk-like" character in ME3 with talents than involved mostly biotics with punching animations and of course actual punching. But I don't think they (Bioware) should "main" this as a combat style, just give option for players to explore and develop it.

Anyway, my point is that lore wise it is far from ridiculous, it is one of the settings that is less ridiculous. Besides all Star Trek series and movies have hand to hand combat so it is in the roots of their "base mythology".

However, I'm probably not gonna play this Dragon Effect: Androminquisition so... suit yourself with your exclusive views on how combat should be the way you want that how what others want shouldn't be considered because how the setting belongs to you and you're entitled to say so...

Anyway. My point is that it looks stupid. Andromeda is already gearing up for Michael Bay stupidity. Why exacerbate?

I just want space-swords...so I can pair them with space-magic to have space-spellsword
(Now that I think about it, I don't know why I like that character archetype so much  )

I would not mind seeing a serious space bayonet on the space rifle. It always puzzled me in SWTOR that Vanguards preferred to use their high-tech rifles as a primal club rather than have a good half-meter of gleaming space steel. They have that short melee attachment in ME3MP for melee, but they just don't look glorious. I know some folks want swords, but I am more along the lines of cooler space guns.

And, yes, control system that allows an average Jane to be being totally at ease with keyboard and field of vision while meleeing would be great.

heh, I do like some of the melee animations in ME, tbh, particularly the throws/stomping.
