It'll probably be the same idea as the ME3 equipment packs and no one aside from the impatient will pay actual money.

i'd be okay with that, but i also feel it's been slowly slipping it's way into other parts of games in the years since me3.

although if i'm honest with myself if the mass effect: relationship simulator parts are decent, i'd probably be okay with the game even as the setting burns down around me

in a hi-larious turn of events it turns out every species in andromeda are actually refugees from the milky way from past reaper cycles

Agreed. It failed in its mission to prevent more Mass Effect games from being made.

i'm not sure how it would have been possible to prevent mass effect: the quest for more money from happening short of destroying ea

Yeah this looks loving weird. The eyes are completely dead. Maybe a simple fix would have been to change the camera angle so it hid the eyes and seemed more dramatic. A swoop around the turian's back during the gun grab for some ol' sleight of hand film trickery.

forget the face, what the hell is going on with that 'disarm' animation?

Which is why I feel DAO is their best game.

I did everything as ideally as I could, including respecting my companions wishes. What did I get? My best friend tells me to gently caress off and runs away to become a drunk and my girlfriend steals my baby and runs away to do whatever the gently caress she wanted, too. And the whole ending sequence was rad, too.

there should have been some sort of consequence for leaving the arl's son possessed while you sorted out the mages to get their help, but otherwise origins was pretty alright on this front

your sibling will get a real job while you're busy galavanting around, settle down with someone and successfully balance a good career with raising a family
the epilogue will be a tense conversation with your dad demanding you to justify your poor life choices and lack of grand children.

Your party members look pretty lame so far, Krogan might be cool? The humans(default ryders included) look like lame JCpenny fashion models rather than actual soldiers/explorers.

Just put Zaeed in the game, I don't care if it doesn't make a lick of sense.

i like the one guy, obviously we haven't seen them up close yet but his hair looks pretty impressive by bioware standards

I wish dad pathfinder was a mom instead. The theme of daddy issues in this series is way overused, to the point that nearly every loyalty mission in ME2 revolves around it.

Also I'm going to enormously miss Jennifer Hale

Hey, you know what might be neat? If it turns out some of the races or civilizations you encounter in Andromeda are originally from the Milky Way, and were part of their own races' "Andromeda Initiative" back in some previous Reaper cycle. Like maybe the bad guy species were actually refugees escaping the Reapers ~100,000 years ago and the reason they're so set against the Council races is because they're scared if other races start crossing over the Reapers might follow them.

I mean if the cycle's happened countless times before and the Council races were able to tech up to galaxy-crossing in time, that probably means others would have as well.

i feel like i already made this joke

This is great because James Sanders is generic as gently caress, whereas Jimmy Vega sounds like a cool dude from a pulp sci-fi series.

so what you're saying is that james sanders would have been a truer name to his character

We know the player has access to all the player abilities, but the companions may have a smaller selection based in their training and background. We don't know yet.

What I do know is Cora is voiced by Emily from Thomas the Tank Engine. I know this because my son loves that show. I can hear her chiding Ryder right now. "Ryder, where's your snow plow!?"

thomas got really creepy now with move to cgi, imo. good to hear there's actually a girl train now though??? i guess????

sometimes i hear a commercial and i could swear i heard the voice in a video game before and it never fails to bother me the rest of the day

The tutorial level is you exploring an alien world with your father. You jump around the rocks, shoot a few aliens and crack jokes, when suddenly your father begins to wither and die in front of you, his suit cracking and his skin turning to dust. You wake up and realized it was dream you had during cryosleep. You get up to tell your father about it and find that his cryo pod broke two years into the trip.

it turns out your dad was the rear end in a top hat protagonist of passengers

Or at least when its revealed that China loved Jade Empire.

I can see this game mostly being mediocre outside of possibly really Horizon Zero levels of Uncanny Valley facial animations. Decent space wizard combat and shoot mans, but Jesus Christ, don't loving interact with the humans. I'm taking aliens around just to make sure I don't barf during every cut-scene.

what's this about horizon zero dawn?
