I just met the Angara and currently am stuck on an infinite loading screen. Restarted my PS4 and it's still happening. Was really enjoying the game so far, too.

God dammit, I was doing the Kett Base on the ice planet and got killed in the hangar. It sent me all the way back to the initial approach. I would have thought it'd auto save after I took out the security terminal or something

DrNutt posted:I feel like Bioware got confused between Biotics and Dragon Age Mages, because it never seemed like a big deal in the first three games. I mean, Kaiden is like, "yeah I'm a biotics and I killed a guy on accident, but I'm still a Lieutenant in the Alliance Military and I get headaches from time to time." The first one had some side quests with outcast biotic terrorists, didn't it?

It's too bad you can't access the codex from the phone app like the grimoire cards from destiny. It'd be nice to be able to catch up on lore dumps on the shitter.

Duder X posted:I guess I've just repeatedly missed it, but have they explained how the gently caress their ships even made it to Andromeda? Without mass effect relays, they still managed to travel millions of light years in ~600 years, and I can't find how they did it anywhere in the codex. I also don't remember them explaining it with dialogue at any point. Am I just supposed to surmise that they used standard FTL drives? Did the Initiative have access to some sort of super fuel that didn't exist in ME2? Remember, when you'd run out of fuel traveling between two or three solar systems, never mind zipping around an entire galactic cluster? Considering resources are so loving scarce, you'd think fuel would be at a god drat premium. Does the Pathfinder just have a platinum card when it comes to fuel and can use all s/he wants without answering to anyone? It's mentioned a few times in the game they used Weird FTL drives with capacitors to handle the static discharge, and used ramjet scoops to capture hydrogen atoms to act as fuel.

I really do think there should be another mass effect game. The first one did a great job of creating a setting that I think has a lot of places to go, they just went and did the whole "galaxy-wide apocalypse" bit too early. And that's not to poo poo on the reaper plot, because ME3 did a great job of setting a tone, where everything was hosed but you're fighting tooth and nail against it and even ekeing out a few real wins. It just should have been forestalled a bit.

I'm enjoying this game a lot, but whoever decided that instant kills was an acceptable mechanic in a single-player game needs to be cockslapped. loving hell it made the Cardinal fight take way longer than it needed to.

precision posted:Enemies scale with character level but it doesn't appear to make an huge difference until you get into levels 40+ so I would not worry unless you're gonna do NG+ on Insanity. Yeah, at least through level 25, where I'm at, it feels like character power grows significantly quicker than enemy power. And you get all sorts of new things in your toolbox to make exploding enemies easier

man nurse posted:My hot take is that this game strongly evokes the first Mass Effect in terms of annoying poo poo, like inventory management and how traveling takes too long. However the combat is fun and the story and characters have grown on me, and there's an overwhelming amount of poo poo to do. Not all of it is good, and the galaxy map makes leapfrogging around doing sidequests more of a pain than it should be, but all in all I'm enjoying myself. Yeah, one of my favorite things about the first game was how much poo poo there was to do. I still remember that "Oh, drat!" feeling the first time the galaxy map panned outwards. ME2 and 3 were tighter, and better games for it, but drat if I didn't want to go exploring some huge galaxy again and see if I can find all the space trash they put in my quest logs.

I play as a vanguard and I mostly use tech powers as my primer. The vanguard profile is awesome but I'm having a bitch of a time leveling it up because I'm out of useful passives on the combat tree. E: and I know that using overload and incinerate as my primers for a vanguard is dumb as gently caress but they're just too much fun to not use.

DancingShade posted:At some point you start dumping points into skills you don't even want (maybe in alternate builds?) just to unlock the higher tier passives from the SAM mode switching thing your dad was doing in the opening mission. Yeah, my vanguard profile is level 3, I just wish I was getting something out of the combat passives I'm leveling up. The biotic ones are awesome. Barriers has made me basically unkillable.

Sooo (building off of LOTS OF SPECULATION from a few pages ago) if the Jaardan are humans post-synthesis, does that mean The Scourge, which literally hunts down anything related to their technology, is some kind of variation on Destroy? That would actually be a smart way of doing the "combine all three endings" continuation.

It's more interesting than another "generic precursors who peaced out a while back" plot, so it's fun to think about. It's kind of like what Fringe did with the "first people". Fringe spoilers: There were no first people, the characters ended up chucking poo poo they'd need into a wormhole to millions of years ago.

BrianWilly posted:I'm not knocking the actual speculation and guesswork here -- I'd love to hear more thoughts on the whole Jardaan/Opposition thing they set up -- but the page after page of CIA-documentation "Oh god is that really what they're doing??? LOL BIOWARE" freakouts here are super annoying. I'm just spoilering it because I have no idea what the spoiler policy in this thread is so I'm tossing anything related to an endgame reveal into black bars.

ashpanash posted:Yeah, I get it, all I'm saying is that this is really a bunch of bullshit magic, not hard sci-fi. Most "hard" sci fi still works off one or two outlandish concepts, and fills in with well-reasoned and scientific explanations for how things work outside that. Usually looking at how society develops from it (in the good ones) instead of jerking off about science 24/7 ME1 was actually pretty awesome at that. That and The Expanse novels are some of my favorite hard sci-fi settings.

Carebearz posted:I mean it's literally the same loving thing, but different enemies. Maybe it's been patched since, but a lot of the guns are pretty anemic compared to ME3 multiplayer. I think. I might just be comparing them to the ones I had after a few years of playing ME3 multiplayer on and off.

JawKnee posted:I think I remember the ammo you ran over only filling up the gun you had equipped at the time - my point was more that you never had to juggle separate ammo types, ever, in the series. So I don't get the point of bringing up needing universal ammo when all the ammo (with the notable exception of heavy weapons in ME2) is already able to work with every other weapon Didn't the early ME2 previews talk about still having an ME1 style heat system, with the ammo pickups being sinks so you could eject the overheated one and reload without having to wait to cool down?

A Buff Gay Dude posted:
Getting a headshot kill in Destiny still has a nice little rush of "gently caress yeah" even after putting way too many hours in. Aiming and shooting just feel right. And even when I'm dumping an equivalent amount of ammo into a dude in that compared to MEA, it feels less spongy because there's a lot more feedback.

Zudgemud posted:It sure does if you like walking around investing/exploring everything, you simply don't appear to enjoy it. Just because many open world games execute the open world badly does not make the open world aspect I'll fitting for dedicated open world games such as the later Elder Scrolls series, Witcher 3 or Horizon Zero Dawn. Horizon Zero Dawn has hit something in my brain that I haven't seen since playing Ocarina of Time on Christmas break in fourth grade.

Ainsley McTree posted:Yeah. I liked it alright while I was playing it but it's just so big and so uncaptivating that there's just no itch to ever do it again. Knowing their isn’t a sequel in the works kind of kicked it in the balls, too. All your choices are made to set up the next game and don’t have effects in this one. Honestly, if they were restarting the setting, they should have gone all Alpha Protocol and made a short game where you can make changes in one 15 hour playthrough

Ainsley McTree posted:I forget if andromeda has an option to filter out the “tasks” missions from appearing on your map, but having something like that would have helped a lot. Just so you could look at the map and quickly see if the closest dot is part of your mission to save the galaxy, or if it’s just the location of the nearest space bear cloaca would help Yeah, that is a close second to the loading screens in terms of this game stepping on its own dick. The shooting felt good, I liked going out and exploring, but the game got in its way so often.

DA2 was a weird one for me. I was hooked when I got it, played for like six or seven hours straight, and then literally never touched it again. As soon as I quit out, any and all interest died. I ended up following the SA thread and learning about the bonkers plot that way.
