it's the patrician mass effect game

you can't be renegade

No choices, only one personality type.

...

No playable aliens
they could easily have set you to be able to play as any of the ark aliens and the story would mostly be the same
there is no excuse when dragon age does it

this game looks like it was ported from the unreal engine 3 with extra shitty writing and uninteresting story and characters
"let's make our characters ugly so polygon give us a good review"

Because it lacks any real high points in the story and has far too much stupid errand boy shit to do in open areas. It’s bloated in very wrong ways.

It seems uninspired. Why are the two default characters so lame looking? Maleshephard was simple but fun. This time they look like random people pulled off the street.

I think they're still trying to salvage it, I had to download a browser earlier today for something and on the default homepage there was a link to a polygon article, titled "Is mass effect really that bad?"

Every character is terrible and forgettable. This game is nothing but a plant for SJW propaganda bullshit. The original trilogy didn't have any of that.

Sorry was a mess.
Cast was almost completely forgettable...including Ryder.
Villain was the worst of the series.
Outside of combat Andromeda is easily the worst game of the series.

So good.

Aside from what everyone else already said, for some reason the bulk of the dialogue is slapstick humour. Even when it's about the most inappropriate moment for it imaginable.

>tfw you'll never experience mass effect 2 again
>tfw when you finish a mission and you hear this

god it was such a beautiful game

>combat
The player is the only one that have to find ammo. Everyone else gets to shoot forever.

Tried to replace the epitome of masculinity that is Commander Shepard with some fucking twink fairy.

the difficulty spikes in that game were ludicrous. one of the most poorly balanced games i've ever played.

Wasn't shephard originally a real male model?

>m-muh human story

>hardly any cool white male characters
>mostly just ugly sjw "strong wyman"
>generic power ranger villain of the week bad guy
>generic "ancient evil awakes" storyline
>incredible long loading time
>terrible animations that look like a kid playing with action figures

git gud faggot

>SJW propaganda bullshit
like?
I only heard about doing gay stuff (just like in the previous episodes, and i wouldn't consider that SJW shit) and a lame character that literally all that has to say is "hello I'm trans"

not him but see

I feel like there was effort made to make the characters likable and give them each a proper amount of banter, but the only party member that really stands out to me is Jaal. And I guess the pilots were alright.

But most of the crew felt like kind of a watered down version of a character we've already seen before. And the quests that sounded like they had the most potential usually boiled down to another Inquisition styled fetch quest, finding things for people in a barren wasteland.

>tfw me3 was better than me2

Sarah makes me wish I had an autistic sister to fug

Wow that...looks...uhhh....

The story was so bland it would work as any species
The team was just extremely incompetent

Too much focus on agenda and inclusion rather than narrative and characterization.

The galaxy felt pretty soulless.

Mission complete screen was the worst idea ever in the history of mass effect.

:(

this
I don't know, previous mass effect had also "strong women" but they were actually likeable. Here they are just annoying cunts

Inconsistent, the plot fucks with the lore.

Open world Nomad driving was fucking boring and proves that anyone who unironically thought the Mako was fun is a retard

No customization of your party's weapons

An entirely new galaxy and the most they could come up with was 2 new sentient aliens

Scott/Sara look like pussy scrubs who want to be goody two shoes when Shepard/FemShepard look like alphas

i enjoyed mass effect 3 with the illegal way cause EA loves money
mfw when EDI smiled in the end of the game

With dialogue gems like “my face is tired” ...

compare this

I think the sidequest that most emphasized the wasted potential for me was the one where you're looking for the fatally ill woman who woke up from cryo and somehow made it past security unchecked.

It's a great premise. She's a potential threat that could be contagious to the entire species we just barely made an alliance with, but causing a fuss over her whereabouts could lead the station into full-scale panic and threaten the whole alliance.

But instead of some dramatic confrontation in the middle of a crowded space port we just end up going on an incredibly tedious scavenger hunt, following her escape pod to desolate parts of the galaxy before she lands in the middle of nowhere.

...

to this

The writing was fucking shit

>make a mediocre game for a franchise that they knew they couldn't outdo
or
>make the biggest meme of the 2010's that will be remembered longer than the franchise itself
Tough choice.

Did the consecutive patches fix the unmarked "Find X" quests?

These were pretty retarded and an unnecessary time sink going after outpost after outpost.

You literally couldn't 100% the game without being gay and finishing half your crews quests. You HAD to go on a date with the engineer guy in order to get his quest. If you deny to kiss him then he never gives you the rest of the quest and you fail the achievement to finish all crew quests.

fucking this, the new characters plus zero tension in the whole game makes it annoyingly retarded. Your team feels like the most incompetent gaggle of retards with some unwarranted we got dis attitude

Is there a trick to unmuting webms here? I'm clicking the speaker icon and nothing is happening.

I agree. Totally broke what was left of the immersion and made the whole thing feel 'consolized'

In a way, I didn't mind the initial idea of them being inherently rookie recruits. Their dad was the bad-ass, and they're the schmuck who's thrown in over their head.

I just wished that we could develop beyond that. Maybe have the option for increasingly heroic and/or badass options the further we progress and the more choices we make in a certain category.

But they kind of stay as an awkward dork all throughout.

Nice 7/10.

>sucker for movement systems in combat
>Andromeda has jetpacks, jump packs, boosts etc
I guess even a turd can have some gold flecks in it.

?

It was developed in like 14 months

uploads have no sound on worksafe boards, newshitter.

Audio on webms is disabled on most boards.
I think it's enabled on /gif/ and /wsg/ only, so if a webm has audio people usually upload there and link it.

Come on, people aren't born knowing everything.

an orphan that had to survivie on it's own to become a hero that saved an entire galaxy
or two spoiled brats with mommy complex

...

do you speak english?

>It was developed in like 14 months

[citation needed]

and don't you fucking dare quote the developers who only provided this explanation after the game was poorly received; they have no reason to be truthful

Not an excuse. It just means they pushed a half done garbage out to make jewbucks.

>and don't you fucking dare quote the developers who only provided this explanation after the game was poorly received; they have no reason to be truthful

so you're going to assume(with zero evidence) that it took longer?

The voice actor for Scott was terrible, he uses the same tone for every line. People who didn't play Sara are missing out!

Do you, stupid fucking faggot, his post was simple to understand you retarded dumbass, you idiotic moron, you poopy head

>poopy head

You need to calm the fuck down.

>quality isn't an indication of time
really?

>Animations are fucking atrocious and look worse than ME1
>Removed the Paragon/Renegade system, a core staple of the ME series, with the same dialogue wheel from DA, but with the same amount of impact of your choices like Fallout 4. Its a more colorful version of the Fallout 4 dialogue system.
>Because of the removal of the Paragon/Renegade system, everyone's play through comes down to the same result with only a few cosmetic changes like a character in a cutscene
>It got its fucking science wrong as the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.537 MLY away and the only way to surpass the speed of light is by using the Mass Relays, but they somehow traveled faster than the speed of light without a Mass Relay on a ship the size of the Citadel.
>The Nexus has gone to shit and had to kick out everyone who tried to start a coup onto a planet. Those same exiles are now better off on the planet than living on the Nexus, yet the people at the Nexus are too retarded to realize this.
>You only encounter two new sentient species in an entire fucking galaxy and both of them are not only humanoid, but horribly modeled. And for some reason upon first contact, both species can speak PERFECT FUCKING ENGLISH FOR NO REASON.
>Planets are less diverse than No Man's Sky and are just composed of a single biome. The creatures on these planets are all the same from the other planets, but with a different color.
>For some reason everyone sucks up to the Pathfinder, even though you're a fucking nobody and you should be having people deal with you in comtempt like Shephard in ME1.
>They're very few sex scenes in the game even though they advertised the game as porn. You get to see Jaal's ass cheeks, but not Verta's, the second female Turian featured in the series.
>The User Interface is horrible, especially if your trying to customize your Pathfinder's equipment and you have to go through several pages of equipment and there no way to compare equipment you currently have and what you're looking at

Deflecting.

Because it's a piss poor western knock off of Xenoblade Chronicles X, with the flair that made X worthwhile.

Are there at least other enemies except the Kett? I loved the variety of villain factions in Mass Effect, both humans and Aliens.

Women made it...

...

Isn't that the case with pretty much every shooter with companions?

You can either take people at their word, or not. That's up to you.

Can a nuke just fall on EA's headquarters? Can the CEO of EA just swallow a poorly cut fugu fish and poison himself? the number of franchises and companies that have died from EA should warrant a police investigation

stop buying sports games and the goliath will fall quickly.

I haven't a single EA game in almost 10 years.

>be huge biocuck, because despite their shitty game design their universes are very interesting
>Andromeda flops, don't feel too bad because it set up nothing interesting besides some things about the Ryder family and Jien Garson
>Bioware immediately hires a metric shitload of guest writers and independent workers for DA4

At least something good may have come from this mess.

That's one ugly mother

i meant in general. FIFA and Madden are sustaining the vile beast known as Electronic """Arts""".

Drax was the only companion I really liked, even if he is kinda basic, just an old man trying to keep up with everyone by trading in limbs for prosthetics and making silly jokes. PeeBee kinda supervised me because she is just a "scientist" and saved her rival rather than grabbed that artifact that she spent most of the game searching for, but the rest of her personality is just obnoxious.

Also Suvi is easily the best ME human girl and it's a fucking atrocity that she's Female Only romance
