Aliens will always be humanoid. This is simply a matter of consistency in gameplay and art design, especially for a species that is part of combat. What you're asking for is unfeasible. Given that evolution is locally bound, if you had no issues with humanoid aliens in the trilogy then you shouldn't have issues with the ones in Andromeda. Well, let's say that it's unfeasible for more than a few alien species to be non-humanoid. We did get a couple of non-humanoid species in the trilogy, although only the rachni are combatants Sure but those were around the entire Milky Way galaxy so the number of aliens with a few being non-humanoid was sensible. Given that we're operating in one cluster, having more than two alien species is already a bit of a stretch. The only "two" new alien types being humanoids is a consequence of the scope of the game.

Saying what? Commenting on the frivolous aspect of the complaint as a justification for not playing the game does not indicate a stance on the actual validity of the complaint. Actually, it does. That stance being it is an invalid, or at best trivial complaint to have, regardless of how it affects the quality of OP's experience. Dude lol. K an analogy. Those work. OP said that their bag has shitty compartments, so they aren't going to take a trip. I said that's a frivolous reason to not go on the trip. I didn't comment on the shittiness of the compartments. Is that clear?

Kinda unfair on the world-building. If MEA does anything right it's world-building. You actively take part in "literally" building the world and ambient/triggered dialogue is consistently updated to reflect those changes on and off-world. Is my game bugged? I always hear about those damn strawberries or 'Should I take a spot in the outpost?' even when I go back to Eos and the other planets I get the same recycled ambient dialogue. Possibly. There are quite a few bugs in dialogue progression. Also I don't think they "save" so if you don't hear an ambient dialogue at the appropriate time, you'll lose it when another event is triggered.

If MEA does anything right it's world-building. There is a steady flow of information about your surroundings with plenty of mystery throughout it all. The PC is capable of talking to both local and initiative personnel to understand the context of their situation fairly consistently. You actively take part in "literally" building the world and ambient/triggered dialogue is consistently updated to reflect those changes on and off-world. I
Your comments regarding it don't really make much sense.
Aliens will always be humanoid. This is simply a matter of consistency in gameplay and art design, especially for a species that is part of combat. What you're asking for is unfeasible. Given that evolution is locally bound, if you had no issues with humanoid aliens in the trilogy then you shouldn't have issues with the ones in Andromeda.
Regarding the giant robot thing (Architect), a little thought into it and you would have realized the implication from its name that it's the one that burrowed all those giant chasms. It's a robot. It's not going to speak. It's going to make some noise.
Your comment on Peebee is nonsensical. That's her opinion and her opinion only. Just because she said it, doesn't make it true. We all know why BioWare ditched the Milky Way so there's no reason to make it a bigger issue than it really is.
Your comment on the Remnant Tech efficiency is not remotely scientific. In fact the Remnant's entire premise is being far more advanced than ours. Even so, the example of the air being clearer is probably the easiest one to explain. Air purification does not take much time at all, with visible changes happening as fast as one rain shower.
The geth scanning bit is the only one that is somewhat understandably odd. The game stopped the explanation at "this is geth tech" so I took it for what it was, just like how I took people using space magic as scientific in the trilogy.

I rated the game as Good leaning on Great.
It needs a few bug fixes and UI fixes to be Great.
With DLC it'll be Legendary.

It's quite political.
Many people who put TW3 on a pedestal while bashing BioWare games do it because they view TW as a celebration of the straight white male while Bioware is the evil SJW that imposes women and transsexual lesbians on them.
They'll probably deny it but it's all so quite transparent. Just look at the metabombing for MEA. A few posters here even have alt-right symbolism in their profiles. Can't get more obvious than that lmao
Of course there are some people who genuinely prefer TW3 over BioWare games and it's understandable. They offer different gameplay patterns with the only thing in common being a central narrative and dialogue. If only some people understood that.

Remember when Inquisition came out? The PC port was incomplete as far as controls and wonky camera. It took three months for me to play the game because I really couldn't get past the first boss scene due to the camera not allowing me to see the rift. It was three months before I could play the game beyond the first boss (the freaking opening credits) and I had preordered EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING. I expected more feedback from Bioware and instead I got jumped on by fanboys for raising issues. All of the problems I personally had with Inquisition are still present from the few hours I got on my buddies rig. The game is a great third person shooter... no doubt. However, I want a Bioware-quality RPG. I guess you can't have both yet. I'm not doubting Bioware will get it right. After all, Frostbite is super beautiful and Bioware still knows how to create immersive environments. It's all of the other stuff that makes a great RPG and Bioware isn't at the same level anymore and that shouldn't have anything to do with any engine. I believe once both studios sit down and figure out what is the actual direction they want to head down, we're all going to be onboard. It's the dishonesty, the misleading stuff (as I interpret it) that has broken my heart. There is no prosthetic for passion and soul. I hope all the bad press does it what I hope it will do: Re-ignite that passion and soul and see the franchises through. Milk it for all you want, but just put that same passion and soul like Origins and Mass Effect 2. It may have to come in bits and pieces, but little mouthfuls at a time is better than a big mess. Where is the hyperbole? I'm disappointed. Although MEA is still a BioWare game which is of good quality in terms of structure. To me it's a hybrid of ME1 and ME3. Perhaps you just dislike the exploration aspect. BioWare has been heading in that direction. Hopefully they'll address the most outstanding issues ASAP. I considered waiting for the next patch for the presumed fix to the save game issue. I ended up changing my build to be less risky. Probably a smart idea as a fresh character on Insanity...

Lol this guy Spends an inordinate amount of time concern trolling about insults only to make an implication that people who enjoy MEA are "of low caliber" This is rich Troll? Lol. Nice try. And you know what, on re reading yes you are correct, it was a mean thing to say and thus I do take it back about low caliber. As to inordinate amount of time trolling can I refer you back to you initial insult about sad people and getting laid? Who's the real troll I wonder... My advise to you mate is to stop responding or at the very least stop being a foolish in your responses when they can be leveled right back at you. Lol

Everything that's not part of the main storyline. Is this your first RPG? I just want to know what you're referring to. Ok so your definition of side quests includes the companion quests and main planetary missions. So what makes those boring and uninspired?

Do remember the discussion is aimed towards people who spend their time here hating on the game and wanting it to fail. Drawing entertainment from negativity is unhealthy. All there is to it. So aren't you disturbed by being entertained by Bioware's violent games? Shouldn't you be playing a nice game of cards instead or engaging in a sport? Pfft we all enjoy shooting people for the greater good.

*chuckle* k I'll go slow.
My stance is exclusively about people who spend their time talking about how bad the game is and wanting it to fail, as the topic indicates.
I believe they are sad people who draw entertainment and satisfaction from negativity.
I offered advice in that they should draw enjoyment from things that are satisfying. I gave examples of alternate forms of satisfaction like having a job or getting laid.
I hope I outlined it enough. I understand that reading comprehension is a bit short around here sometimes.

A mission that started by asking me to scan animals culminated in a choice between destroying or saving research into biological weapons. Point is, even the side quests have context. christ really? If its the one i am thinking of then...i knew something was up. But Christ. Sorry if spoiler It's exclusively on one planet though, not the Nexus scientist one.

Of course not. You can dislike the game and point out why. Perhaps you like it but want to talk about what could be better. You know. Actual criticism. Presumably if you aren't a masochist, you'd move on to something you do enjoy. Cause you know. Games are for entertainment. Is this difficult to understand? Ahh, going for the backtracking of my previous statement angle. I like it. Good try but no cigar. You were quite clear in your previous responses. Give courage to your convictions man. Presumably if you aren't a masochist, you'd move on and not respond to people that clearly don't like the game or spend time in these forums not getting laid? Games are for entertainment and you clearly are enjoying MEA. Not you forgetting the context of this thread lmao
