well then...........
I will start getting hyped when and ONLY when Bioware confirms this can be played solo, without locking anything behind the co op wall and that is WILL have a campaign for me to play as well
I freaking wonder why while some games did this VERY well (say Dying Light and Shadow Warrior 2) everybody is still giving passes to games like destiny and the division which were garbage in comparison.
also, IF I get this it will DEFINITELY be on scorpio

The same way that MEAMP doesn't encourage solo, I suspect this is the same. You either pick up an online pal or temporary pal is my guess. The co-op mechanics must be well thought through for this to work. Well... That sucks

So...that game looked phenomenal....
But the 1.000.000 Credits question is
Will it have a story and will I be able to play the bloody thing by myself or is it gonna be like destiny and lock anything end-game related behind the necessity to play coop?
God I hope they let me play offline...or at least shut myself away from other players

I just finished watching THREE HOURS of injustice 2 cut scenes in engine (with higher fidelity assets than in game proper) fully motion captioned
Seriously.....it makes Mass Effect Andromeda look unacceptable.
Yes, every dialogue scene would not be possible to motion caption as an individual thing but the reused animations DEFINITELY could have (there really are not many)... And the main cut scenes? What of those? Come the fuck on Bioware.

...sigh
This is my third play through, I never played a ME games less than 6 times but DAMN.
I think I might just grab something else to tide me over until E3...
And now that this studio is being cannibalized we can forget a scorpio patch

Uh...anyone else experiencing some "difficulties"?
After the patch my game freezes regularly. I played an hour this morning and had to restart four times. The latest freeze resulted in a complete corruption of the game which now will refuse to start (I am going to have to reinstall at this point)
WTF Bioware...are these "stability improvements"?

That infographic was based on selective research by origin. Meaning you had to be opt in to have your computer and game monitored. I know many gamers opted out of being monitored. If you played offline or not on PC it doesn't include you. It also doesn't say if they counted every single play through a player would do or only 1 per unique player. If they only count the first play through it is possible they are missing out on players who may have started as one character like a male solider, didn't finish, and then restarted another character. A lot of very simple folk didn't even know you could customize your character (yeah I know someone who didn't know this. So he missed the awesomeness of vanguard or any other class). It also doesn't say about what years this research was conducted either. Acting like that research is the be all end all is well not smart. It was way too selective to say anything about the gamer population at large. As far as the topic goes: Doesn't bother me. I don't really care about what happens in the books or anything else. As long as I can preserve my choices in my games I'm happy. I think people who get super bent out of shape about it are really just looking for a problem. Uh...I am on Xbox and was asked if I wanted to be monitored sane as pc folk, so I seriously SERIOUSLY doubt this was only origin players IN FACT a similar paper was done for ME1 before it came out for PC so... And not like other studies on AAA games communities (not casual and cellphone games mind you) did not yield similar results

energy weapon....no kickback That doesn't address your armour or shielding issues. Your gun is only useful for as long as your ship hasn't been blown in half. Which is made easier by windows and a cargo bay in the centre of the ship instead of the rear. So again, the Tempest would need a complete rebuild, because windows are a structural weakness (The normandy has blast shields.) it has no armour and its only real defence is its stealth drive. Its not fit for combat. no problem with a retrofit if you ask me

This makes no sense. Advanced technology species isn't something which needs millions of years to appear somewhere, they can simply, you know, fly in. And these colonists come from a galaxy where activation of primary relays is forbidden because there could another rachni out there, so don't even tell me how they couldn't expect anything bad. Kett ships are scrap, any fleet from MW would obliterate this entire 'armada'. Asari and salarian Arks situations happened because they couldn't even fend off single Kett ship of smaller size. 1. Expecting trouble is not the same as expecting an Armada equipped to Exalt an entire cluster. Dangerous wildlife, pirates, those things were anticipated and accounted for, and handled with little trouble despite the majority of their people being in stasis. They surveyed THOUSANDS of planets in Andromeda and settled on the Heleus cluster. Had they seen evidence of an aggressive force on that scale they simply would have chosen to go elsewhere. They accounted for realistic problems efficiently: to quote "We expected Hostilities, not an enemy that wouldn't even speak." 2. That's a matter of opinion (and an incredibly biased one.) Kett Weaponry and technology is stated several times to be on par with MW tech (stated IN GAME to be superior in some ways.) The only way a Kett ship would be "scrap" is just because you think they don't look as fancy. Even if they were significantly inferior to Initiative MW craft, five well armed ships STILL would not Trash an entire Armada. That is incredibly biased wank. 3. The ship's greater size was for the very specific reason of transporting in excess of 20k colonists, supplies, outpost materials, and survey equipment each 2million light years. No faction I've seen in any game in the series has had such limitless resources that they could retrofit an unprecedented ship like that into a warship as well, not to mention the time constraints on the project. Its more complicated than "Well why CAN'T it be a gigantic warship TOO!" A buss is larger than some tanks, but that doesn't mean slapping a couple of guns on it will make it a fair fight. Cargo planes are larger than fighter jets, you should be getting my point by now. 4. As I stated very clearly before, the reason these ships were successfully boarded had very little to nothing at all to do with the lack of armament. They were all running skeleton crews, unable to bring the bulk of their crew out of stasis. 20 thousand, even poorly if that had been the case, armed civilians would be enough to deter any boarding party. The main problems they encounter are a lack of habitable planets, the scourge, leading to a lack of resources and thusly manpower. you got to be fucking with me... First off, Kett tech is inferior to MW tech.... From engines (they had to go into cry sleep to move from cluster to cluster) to actual weapons to armors and shields and only the EVER once were defined as "hitting just as hard as ours" Hell one of their capital ships is taken down by automated turrets with no shields to speak off and their fighters are taken down by SHUTTLES. Oh and...REALLY? the arks were boarded successfully because they did not have a full crew??? Ok...lets say EVERYONE was awake...then what? Oh...I know...they will all surrender to the Kett forces once they are told "surrender or we blow up your defenseless sitting duck of a ship" You know what tho...I am done arguing with you. Enjoy the space hippy mentality, hopefully Bioware understood the idiocy of it all and we can go back to what makes sense in MEA2. Hopefully MEA: Conquistadores

Except you are missing the fact that the Exiles becoming a militia and freeing Kadara port makes no real sense after they were curb stomped by the Krogan. It was discussed ad nauseum and, again, it happens solely because the writers wanted it so. But hey, for both THEM and the Krogan taking the violence approach worked uh? I wonder what would have happened if we all did that from the start! The fact that the angara would distrust us pretty much is pointless, I will happily take their distrust and be able to defend myself over being able to hug them and sing kumbaya with them and so would any fucking sane individual. Oh...they angara distrust us? Oh...well whatever since we can defend ourselves they can be as distrustful as they like in time...if not, well, orbital bombardment is always a good way to make upitty little bastards calm down. Speaking of sane individual, again this is Bioware shattering our suspense of disbelief. There are HUNDREDS OF YEARS OLD Asari who signed up for the initiative knowing they would be sitting fucking ducks....yep, including a legendary commando. Did they think that it was a good idea? Well....Bioware thought so....so why the fuck not. Bioware wanted X to happen maybe because they felt they wanted to be unique in some sort (because you know....everyone uses soldiers in videogames, we got to be unique snowflakes!!!!) so decided to fuck common sense and be lazy with writing hoping people would be too dumb to question it You sound like you'd buy a car and be pissed off because all cars should be trucks in the first place. :/ ((And outcasts vs Krogan (as well as everyone else) =/= outcasts on an open planet with the ability to operate freely (Unless a three man squad can "realistically" defeat an entire army hundreds of times over.)) The plot points are explained well enough through the game that the issue isn't "lazy writing" but a matter of personal choice, and for someone going on about snowflakes you sound awful pissed that something isn't what you think it SHOULD be as if that's a problem for the person who created the product as opposed to the person who bought
The ENTIRE point of the initiative is Jien Garson's Ideals of compassion and cooperation. This is one of the very first points the game makes out to you.
Also the game hits on key points from the evolution of our own civilizations well enough that you SHOULD be able to understand WHY explorers do not arrive in vast armadas capable of bringing destruction.
"Would they we have treated them differently if they showed up on Earth armed to the teeth?"
And for the Angara... You don't care that they distrust us? Every point you're making in that rant is just dumb, and there's really just no other way to say it. Orbital bombardment is one way to calm down uppity people, sure, but again this isn't a game about conquest and subjugation (and no one told you it was either.)
The point is to EXPLORE and COOPERATE with new species, not to arrive and force everyone to like it. You could say THAT is stupid, but I'd counter that you're stupid for buying the wrong game.
There's a thought process for a narrative that goes beyond "show up with guns / kill enemies / loot /."
Maybe bioware will make a game just for you where you CAN be the badguy. You'll show up, in a galaxy that has some problems, and use your massive armada to crush anything in your path that disagrees with you.
Until then we have Andromeda, a story about explorers from the Milky Way who were to be the first from their Galaxy to settle a New Galaxy. An initiative that spans several different species with thousands of members who could get behind a mission of peace and dedicate what sparse resources they could bring to scientific discovery instead of warfare.
There's nothing wrong with that either, you just sound butt-hurt that Andromeda is Andromeda instead of Mass Effect:Conquistadors.
yes the game tries to make those points and tails because, again, people with common sense know that if there is a chance to be met with hostility (and we saw this happen with the first contact war) where a race attacked another with no warning, then you need to be able to defend ourselves and the AI IS NOT ABLE TO. And yes while, honestly, a game of conquest would have pleased me more than "Mass Effect Woodstock love and peace" I would have entirely been ok with the premise if some common sense was applied. Colombia expedition to the Indias wad meant to find new trading routes but all of his three ships (funded by the Portuguese crown because the Italian dropped the fucking ball) were armed, cannons and everything. Why? Because if upon arrival shit hit the fan they would have been able to fight back. The fact the game tries to make a point based on BW's internal beliefs or whatnot does not make that point valid and the initiative founder might have been a rich space hippy but the Benefactor was definitely not and I wonder WHY since he was backing the project he did not demand some better defenses. Again...you want fucking peace? Prepare for war and guess what? The game proved me right, the only way the AI survived was through military force gained by an armada of remnant warships and the collective military force of the Angara, the outcasts, the Krogan and the Initiative And the ONLY reason the archon got even that close to exalt us all is because when he got to the nexus we were, AGAIN, utterly fucking defenseless and the only reason we and the angara were not extinguished is because we are needed for their reproduction, were we not the Salariabs would have been blown apart, the Asaro would have been blown apart and the nexus would have been blown apart WITHOUT any doubt because, AGAIN, if the archon chose to they would have had absolutely NO WAY of fighting back. And once more, just because Bioware wants to make a point of making us play along with hippy logic fueled by the power of love does not mean it makes a lick of sense.

So yes you are right, the objective was not to send a badass space soldier somewhere dangerous, no, it was apparently to send completely unprepared people to be sitting ducks somewhere dangerous knowing full well how dangerous it all can be because our own place is dangerous as fuck!!
Omg...GENIUS!!!!

The entire point of the game/expedition (explained many times in many ways throughout Andromeda) is that these are COLONISTS, not soldiers. They didn't come to fight a war, they came to settle uninhabited planets. Upon meeting sentient life the were to use diplomacy, not warfare. Its explained on Hab 7, again when you establish your first outpost (referred to later in the game) and the doubts about forming an active militia. Brought full circle at the last mission in the speech. They didn't roll in to andromeda with warships on PURPOSE. yep...now, find one of the Asari that watched their elementary school aged children being taken or killed by the Kett and ask them what they think of the people who, coming from a galaxy where batarian slavers, krogan and and rachni exist, thought it would be just fucking ideal to sent TENS OF THOUSANDS of people in a new, uncharted galaxy without the means to properly defend themselves minus for the might of fucking diplomacy.

By that logic why is the Pathfinder team armed to the teeth and led by a badass former N7 operative? It's almost as if they anticipated the possibility of ground based threats and the need to defend against them but not space combat? It goes beyond naive idealism and straight into incompetence. The arks hold tens of thousands of lives, they need more than wishful thinking if the worst should happen. This isn't serious response obviously. Of course he couldn't answer "because we built the plot around it". so we give a pass on failure of creating an internal logic because "we built the plot around this and we could not be bothered to have the plot work with the established lore"? Yes, that is how we get developers to really go the extra mile...

Yes, undertaking the venture without weapons was naive, but it worked out in the end (just barely.) The angara would not likely have trusted the Ai if the latter had arrived in "war arks". Plus, try selling that to the Citadel Council. Allowing the Ai to build such massive vessels was already an extreme allowance. Arming them would've been out of the question, since they belonged to private citizens, rather than the Council fleets. I know it's silly, but it's not as bad as all that. The Nomad not having a gun was clearly a gameplay choice. They didn't want us blowing up all of those enemies encampments with our main gun, rather than getting out for "dynamic combat". I do love dynamically assaulting those encampments; but not having a gun seems foolish. I guess that the same argument could be made for the Nomad that is true if the arks-- civilian "keeps" don't need a .50 cal on the back. Seems like they could've gotten permission for at least a few such, though. Say four, for the four Pathfinders? There also the fact that first contacts could've been made in the Nomad. A gun on top could've soured the tone of such an exchange. I don't know. The air is getting thin up here in the clouds, where I'm reaching for these explanations. You make a good point about the Council. They definitely would have objected to armed vessels being built without their control. The Benefactor could have decided to not build military vessels to avoid Council oversight. yyyyyep.... A few pointers there 1: As someone noted above the council cares about dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts sized guns, these are arks, we are talking about arks and their defensive armament. No sane turian or salarian would have ever even questioned it. 2: It is hard to argue about first contact being hard with a weaponized vessel when the person coming out of said weaponless vessel is carrying two shotguns, a sniper rifle and a hand cannon...also, the cannon on the Normandy disappeared into the hull and I doubt any reasonable life form would have objected to space stations (the nexus) and the arks carrying tens of thousands of people in a foreign galaxy to have the means to defend themselves...and if they did...fuck them, let them argue a 5 kilos ferrous slug traveling at relativistic speed. 3: The AI could care less about what the council says.....hellloooooo SAM! 4: Civilian vehicles do not need a .50 cal on their back...but a civilian vehicle supposed to aid colonists in hostile world with all manner of dinosaur sized fucking fauna? Yeah those vehicles better be this Also I am not giving Bioware a pass because they were too lazy to include vehicular combat to favor "dynamic" combat

Fine what about Legion or Mordin then? Sure certain aspects of their character are bound to be repeated, Cora seems to be getting particular flak for it because there's such little effort expended on expanding her character beyond that. With Mordin you have his humorous observations on the Normandy, his "sex" talk, his outlook on the role of philosophy and art among the Collectors, "I am the very model of a scientist salarian", all in addition to his content on the genophage modification project. With Cora you get a half-assed explanation of why the chain of command is less a chain and more a loose collection of circles and one conversation about gardening, the rest is asari. Now admittedly I am comparing the best of BioWare companions against one of the mid to worst ones, but I think the point still stands. Cora has her entire arc of coming to terms with the fact that she was not made pathfinder. She also has issues with hero worship and figuring out that she is not a leader. She also has plenty of banter with other characters and situations that reveal more anout her. SHUSH before the "cora needs to be made pathfinder" brigade hears

- Bioware went full on SJW by making the AI a pussier version of the "federation"....if the mysterious benefactor is who we think it is then we should have had fucking warships
- Bioware axed ALL of the truly alien races...possible out of incompetence in coming for frostbite (they would have all required unique skeletons and animations)....funny how the nexus is an interspecies station carrying members of every race but ooops...not a single hanar or elcor or volus leaving ALL of them to the Quarians to take the burden of dealing with all their unique needs.
- Bioware fixed the N7 crusader glitch only to Nerf it....god dammit bioware
- Angara are fucking pointless
- I want Shepard back

point is...someone at Bioware thought that was OK.....I'd LOVE to hear them argue their point. Well, they kinda did already I said argue,not dismiss with one statement with the other guy not arguing back BTW they left the arks defenseless too, going in a new galaxy does not mean that there will not be hostile races. The AI comes from a galaxy where turians SHOT AT HUMANS NO QUESTIONS ASKED just because they saw them working on a fucking relay. And you want no weapons on your fucking ships? And guess what? EVERY ARK that was attacked by the Kett turned into a sitting duck because, lo and fucking behold they had no way of defending themselves while carrying TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE INCLUDING CHILDREN....yes, argue "we come in peace tree hugging ideas" with the Asari who saw their children taken and killed by the Kett on their ark. Oh oh....and the NOMAD! Who was the genius who sat at a table and said "hey, we come from a galaxy that has giant space worms who can eat a reaper destroyer not to mention all manner of insanely dangerous kill world fauna and mechs the size of mini busses but FUCK....you know what we need? We need a rover to explore hostile uncharted worlds and we need it with no guns, because the best way to defend ourselves from a threat is to fucking run away!!!!"

Why bother having guns on your Arks or Pathfinder ships to defend them against any possible hostile threats, I mean whens that ever going to be useful at any point? Take your narrow minded Milky Way warmongering elsewhere. What we need is to prioritise great views via large targets windows that only the most backward savages could dismiss as structural weaknesses. Views that could easily be obtained via cameras mounted outside transmitting to screens within, leaving the ships hull more stronger overall, but that just wouldn't look as cool. It needs to be authentic. point is...someone at Bioware thought that was OK.....I'd LOVE to hear them argue their point.

the recoil is there as a gameplay mechanic...with that kinda weapon there should be none...THAT SAID...even with that kind of recoil compared to that of a Mass Effect weapon I'd say I doubt the ship would not be able to bear it Of course...tree hugger dev mentality trumps logic Soldier! What is Newton's third law of motion? Actio est reactio.
Well technically he wrote: Lex III: Actioni contrariam semper et æqualem esse reactionem: sive corporum duorum actiones in se mutuo semper esse æquales et in partes contrarias dirigi.
Unlike a laser a plasma ball is still a body with a mass. You're accellerating a plasma ball with a certain force and the weapon gets accellerated backwards with the same force. uhm....correct.me if I am wrong but Rem tech is not plasma at all... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle-beam_weapon

wanna compare that to the crusader's recoil? So "less recoil" is "no recoil" then? the recoil is there as a gameplay mechanic...with that kinda weapon there should be none...THAT SAID...even with that kind of recoil compared to that of a Mass Effect weapon I'd say I doubt the ship would not be able to bear it Of course...tree hugger dev mentality trumps logic

The tempest would need a complete rebuild. It has no armour plating and the recoil from a main gun would blow out all its windows (Structural weakness) according to Cora and Kallo tells you its only defenses are stealth mode and a kinetic barrier. Its not fit for a fight even if you put a guns on it. energy weapon....no kickback

It's the Peace Corps in Space The Initiative's Official Song if you're wondering...no...I don't care that it doesn't have guns...although it could use a supply of photon torpedos. look up the Italian version too....

So, thanks to the Remnant research weapons the Tempest COULD be weaponized in MEA2 (the hint is in the R&D paragraph of the PAW or the Inferno sniper rifle).
Question is will the tree hugging "we come in peace" mentality of MEA bleed into the sequel as well thus providing us with some BS excuse as per why it cannot be done (oh look, our ship was designed to be a pussy vessel, if we fire a weapon it might blow all our windows with it's kickback....wait....we have energy weapons that have no kickback? Oh...uhm...yeah no the radiations coming from it might damage our sensors or some shit...)
I am so sick of getting around in a weaponless ship...let alone a weaponless rover.
