Plavski posted:A lot of the performances were phoned in too, which hurt in the general impression. Matthew Perry was a massive Fallout zealot and overjoyed at the opportunity to be in a game he literally had to see a doctor about cos he was playing so much. Then whoompf, he gives a pathetically flat and awful performance. Things like that in such a character driven game will bite you in the rear end. New Vegas was at least really well written tho, even if the performances sometimes didn't meet that high watermark. We seem to be getting the worst of both worlds in ME:A. I'm very glad I cancelled my pre-order. That being said obsidian cobbled together one hell of a diverse voice cast. I think they had more Star Trek alumni than all the mass effect games put together. Then they also had a ton of mainstay professional voice actors around as well, like Liam Obrien.

precision posted:Gosh, I'm glad I never played Halo 4. It seems like it might not be cool to keep saying Andromeda has "the same ending" because wouldn't that be inadvertent spoilers and jerk-like behavior? The illusion of choice in ending is just a thing. ME:2 people liked but it basically has the same ending no matter what you did (unless you put effort in to have a "everyone but joker dies" ending) DA:I has pretty much no plot deviations based on player choice that will matter apart from who you gently caress. ME:A is space DA:I so I'm expecting much of the same. Not playing it until end of the week though.

Well I gotta go pick my wife up and then get some sleep so I'm rested for noted GOTY Mass Effect Andromeda: Deluxe Edition to unlock on my Sony PlayStation 4. Think I'll pick up a nice bottle of Scotch with all that money EA's been paying me to post in here.

I dunno lmao i blazed through the story and shot my son in the face before i even found out who he is like your main enemy is a group that's killing people and replacing them with robots and they welcome you into their base fully armed, and the first person you meet is their boss who is completely unarmed with no guards around he opened the door and turned into a mist

FactsAreUseless posted:"unatco?!" jc denton kramers in the door and just keeps kramering, sliding off around the room, bouncing against bookshelves. he kramers against manderley's toilet, busting it up big time. you get the feeling he's trying to say your killphrase but he's kramering at such a high velocity you just can't quite make it out. as he finally nails a texture seam and falls out of the map you think you hear him exclaim "I'm in unatco, that's what's so CRAZY about this" on the way down

Ryder, unlike Shepard, has very few opportunities to be an rear end in a top hat. Which is sad, since the entirety of Andromeda deserves it.

They're far from positive reviews. It's mostly combat and the world visuals that are bumping the score up.
