You posted the wrong version, let me fix that for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVeNwzpFIak Comparing ME2's intro to Andromeda isn't wholly fair because a lot of the strength of ME2's opening is that these are characters and a setting that we're already invested in. While it would still be cool and interesting without that element, knowing who Shepard and Joker are and why losing the Normandy is painful makes it that much more impactful. Andromeda doesn't have that advantage due to the soft reboot. But like another poster said, ME1 was in the same boat as Andromeda and still had a really cool and epic feeling opening, despite a lot of the story beats being vaguely similar to Andromeda's first hour or so. Spikeguy posted:Hell I would have loved a scene like this to show Shepard just how much of her body wasn't her anymore. I was always disappointed that ME3 never played with the implication that Shepard's body had been partially rebuilt using Reaper tech. Having Harbinger ASSUME CONTROL of her eyes or whatever to cause visual hallucinations like in Overlord or TIM shutting off your abilities at random during his boss fight (lol) would have been neat. Could have had a subplot where people start questioning Shepard's stability as her body keeps betraying her.

I played it as Shepherd slowly succumbing to indoctrination (with the scars and my little mod to give her Illusive man eyes) and the whole game was her battle against it. Hence the weird star child dreams and why I chose destroy. It fit my whole mental story perfectly.

Was it ever stated Shepard was rebuilt with Reaper Tech? Everyone says that Shepard had synthetics in them, but I don't think they were the same as Husks other than the glowing scars and possibly the same eyes as TIM and Saren, but I chalked they up to reusing assets SgtSteel91 fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Mar 17, 2017 |

Side note: I have to say, I started avoiding this thread and basically the internet in general while I started to play the game because things started to get too negative for me. Now I know that's on me and no one else, and far be it from me to tell other people how to act. But I know, for myself, my enjoyment of 3 was dampened a little bit because of all the negativity to the leaks before 3 and I didn't want that this time. But I'm glad people who have played the game have been more positive than I thought they would be. I like talking about games without getting all "things have never been worse, Bioware was always bad and life sucks." But I'm a weirdo so there is that.

I only just noticed you can see the woman who gets thrown to the ground catch fire in the background, and when Joker is like 'somebody get that fire out' like half of it is her burning corpse. Hell of a goddamn intro.

I haven't gotten to the first open world so far but can anyone confirm/deny if it feels like the Hinterlands? Does it have a lot of filler side quests or do the side quests feel better? And how is the banter?

This has probably been said before but the AI link with SAM is, I think, a way for the game to let people change class by loading "profiles."

I cancelled my BB preorder and didn't realize I needed to manually cancel the free steelbook so I got charged 10 bucks for it. This is the worst Mass Effect ever.

Sort of - it's kind of a big empty (and a little boring) zone and there are versions of some of the DA:I stuff there (calling in the forward operating base pod thingies, activating towers, resource gathering), so that's similar. But on the other hand there doesn't seem to be any of the really egregious MMO sidequest stuff or collectathons. Maybe more of that gets introduced after the portion that's available in the demo, or on some of the other planets though. Banter is alright. Didn't notice anything standout in the time I played but basically your squadmates chat while you're riding around in the not-Mako.

Remember the brom scene in Horizon? And everyone thought it would be awful and then it turned out to be an amazing game. Well after 10 hours the game changes everything and becomes normal. EA are seeing if it works for them too!!

I probably skipped a bunch of stuff but think I played for a little over 4 hours before I met the trial wall and was unable to proceed any further. I first thought it was like 10 hours of free play but I guess it makes sense that they lock the content after a certain point to avoid people rushing through it e: unless you can play on if you pre-order the game? idk

I've kinda really soured on this game, I went back to try after quitting yesterday and hit the trial wall pretty soon after anyway. The Tempest starts out so frustratingly bad it makes traversing the open world something I'm not remotely interested in, I assume it gets better with upgrades but I actually can't quite believe how bad that thing is at going up hills. Even in ATV mode it sloooowly chugs up these very slight hills. The radiation stuff again makes travelling something I don't want to do. The combat is not awful its just not very good, not giving you a cover button was a mistake, I've been killed a couple times by Ryder just standing in the open behind a box or peice of cover the game doesn't register. The game has all those dodges and jumps which do help a little at getting out of fire but you die so fast if you're not crouched behind a wall there's not much reason to not just hunker down. I'm vanguard and my rare quality alien shotgun is extremely disappointing, the charge-melee combo works well but the shotgun actually got me killed the first time I used it because it was so unimpressive I thought it wasn't firing. On the plus side: Skills look decent. Space sudoku is at least something new in the hall of hacking minigames as far as I know.

I read that the future planets have less of this radiation nonsense going on and are more fully traversable from the get go... which only really compounds the error of having it so you're gated off on the first planet by it.
