You typed this 4 years ago but I still feel the need to say this: I agree. What they could have done was have Alec get shot on Habitat-7 which would badly injure him (but not kill him). As a result, he can't continue on as Pathfinder. So, he gives the role to either Scott or Sara (depending on who you choose). Would have been better.
Fire Hedgehog personally, I loved this game and can't wait to see more. The whole Firefly thing it had going was pretty cool. The Heleus Cluster truly felt like it was the new frontier to me.
Same, besides some of the crappy facial animations it was actually really good! No where near as good as the trilogy but if andromeda was its own game it would be fantastic (does that make sense?)
Mass Effect: A Song of Tech and Biotics. Holy Hell, there's a lot of Game of Thrones castmembers in this game. Renly Baratheon , Margery Tyrell, Yara Greyjoy, Ellaria Sand
It would have been a decent game, had it came out as an independent title. But now it has to mach with its predecessors, and let's be real here - you can't be better than the legends :)
Andromeda is a great game lost inside a mediocre one. The companion missions are great and there's some incredible, memorable story moments, but it's just packed with way too much filler in between.
Just wished the female characters would at least resemble their voice actresses. Especially Sara Ryder would have profited from that. Funnily, Vetra actually faintly resembles Danielle Rayne.
Unpopular opinion, but i actually loved this game (Edit: my only complaint is it was too short. I finished my first playthrough in like, a week and for me it usually takes a month or so.)
Probably because you skipped most of the side missions. The side missions give this game about 80 - 90 hours, which is the longest of all Mass Effect Games.
You guys say what you will about Mass Effect Andromeda. I never turned my back on Mass Effect 3 during the ending controversy, and I won't turn my back on Mass Effect Andromeda over a few poorly animated and rendered characters. The patches fixed most of them, at least, and I enjoy the combat mechanics, but some people love to keep crying over spilled milk, unfortunately.
with ME3, they made a free DLC to expand the endings. The original issue is that all your choices ended up not feeling like they mattered. A different color was it? The DLC made it much better IMHO (I still played the game before the DLC and overall yes it was good). ME4 though ... no, absolutely no excuse for that level of bugs on launch. Yes the first two patches were an improvement (hence why it shouldn't have released for a few more months after it did), but it was still buggy even after that. And EA still gave the middle finger to single players by doing multi-player DLC only. Oh and for the Quarian ark, we get a book instead of a DLC? Nope, not paying for that book. I'll read a synopsis online sometime if I find myself caring. When paying customers don't get what they're expecting they are well within their rights to make their disappointment heard. As much as I loved Star Wars Rebels, I still respected the people who didn't like it who kept saying Clone Wars was better.
Thing is mass effect 3 ending almost ruined the whole trilogy but it was still a good game but andromeda has not only fucking shitty animations but game breaking bugs, stupid AI, really bad voice acting with one of the worst scripted lines and you can't defend it cus it had bigger budget then any other mass effect game but it still managed to fuck things up as much as it had better fighting mechanics it's still really bad game
QueenThoria Not really. The game made it clear that they all have translators. When Ryder heard the first few angara speak before meeting Paran and Jaal on Aya, we hear them speak their native language at first because the game wants to make it clear that everyone has translators. The first three Mass Effect games never bothered to make it clear that every race speaks their own language, but we hear them speak English because we hear them through Shepard and Ryder's translators.
@@LightStreak567 If I remember right, in the Milky Way it's part translator and part learned. But yeah, there translators learn the language and translate as it learns new phrases (with V.I. assistance, maybe).
I had fun with this game. It didn't live up to its predecessors, but fun, nonetheless. These guys did a great job. I just wish Gil looked a bit more like his voice actor...
Tom Taylorson (Scott Ryder) also reads the audiobook of Mass Effect: Annihilation. His range of voices is seriously incredible, including a hilarious female Batarian. Also, I like how Gil's real name is Geth.
I strongly believe bitter feelings surrounding this game have clouded a lot of people's judgement, like people saying Sara Ryder's voice acting is terrible when it's definitely no worse than Scott's, and much better in my opinion. All of the voice actors in this video did a decent job, although there are some pretty awful moments with more minor characters. The dialogue is frequently cringy but only occasionally dire.
@Dedal Donnager yes it actually. Got to point out that Javik didnt exist in the game till after launch. If anything there are lines in ME:A that absolutely great.
Are people forgetting how Mark Meer voiced Shepard or how all your choices basically was choose your favorite color get the same ending or how choosing different fractions in the first two games didn't mean shit in the third game I'll take Andromeda any day over "Shepard is the best" "Shepard is the hero" "Shepard changed my life" even tho I did the work and changed it myself "Shepard saved us all" even tho joker, the alliance, and the thousands of ships shooting the reapers actually killed them and saved everybody but hey to you fanboys nothing can top the Shepard ass kissing fanclub
@Dedal Donnager or what about Garrus line, "James told me there's an old saying here on Earth, 'may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.' not sure if Turian heaven is the same as yours, but, if this thing goes sideways and we both end up there, meet me at the bar, I'm buying."
I love Sara's voice acting simply because of the amount of f-bombs she drops. I cuss frequently so I love it. I only really loathed the "Stay extra frosty" comment on the kett base on Voeld. The tone completely got under my skin, lol. Otherwise I loved everything else. I don't know if her brother drops the f-bomb too, but if he does, that's fantastic because I paint him in my head as the sweet innocent one while Sara is the "don't g.a.f." one who gets shit done.
Playing this game again and honestly if Dragon Age: Inquisition and Mass Effect: Andromeda were to be made into live adaptation they could definitely use the same voice actors
Sad I Really Do Love This Game So I'm Wishing for a sequel perhaps it'll happen since the next gen Playstation is gonna have backwards compatibility so your choices might still have a impact on a sequel here's hoping.
I'm replying this after the patches and IMO this game went from bad game like 6 to a 8 now. The voice acting, graphics,lore, combat, multi-player and squadmates are great. Ryder family is great and Andromeda is full nice new lore. Yes the technical issues were bad thankfully a lot facial animations are fixed along with eye tracking, better ryder character creator, weapon and enemy balance for multi-player. They improved a lot cut scenes and brought more life to them. I wish the game we have now is the game that came out first so we could get sequel to mass effect Andromeda.
While some of the story and acting criticism is valid in some cases, it was definitely the technical issue that really killed this game. Without them, I'm pretty sure that EA would've turned a much better profit from it.
Was Miranda Raison (Cassandra Pentaghast) part of the game? Pretty sure I heard her as background Angara... Also wow, neverwould have recognized Josephine without the Antivan accent! And 3 GoT actors too!
Before I even installed the game, I knew Papa Ryder was not going to be around for long. Clancy Brown is the American Sean Bean, and is somehow required to die in the first act, except in the rare case where he makes ALMOST to the end. But, there can be only one.
You are not alone. Take a gander at some of the newer comments from many Andromeda vids and you see people are actually enjoying the game. Really. The idea of using that free ten hours you get with Origin Access really allows some people to really enjoy and get into the game.
Yep i fear nothing new in this franchise will reach the greatness of shepards trilogy. Especially now that Bioware has announced that andromeda will be the last mass effect game for a long while.
Game could’ve been good if it didn’t have so much traveling required between worlds it was annoying it wouldn’t be as bad if you could have some form of flying instead of the car they gave you
*Characters and Voice Actors - Mass Effect: Andromeda*
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier video coming soon.
Hay Teddy, can you do ghost reccon wildlands?
TeddyKGaming Update the TWDG: S3 voice actors.
Man this game needed way more Clancy Brown than it got.
You typed this 4 years ago but I still feel the need to say this: I agree. What they could have done was have Alec get shot on Habitat-7 which would badly injure him (but not kill him). As a result, he can't continue on as Pathfinder. So, he gives the role to either Scott or Sara (depending on who you choose). Would have been better.
My face is exhausted
My face needs a nap....
Not just tired?
It's really sad for a mass effect fan like me that most of the content for this game on youtube are montages of horrible animations.
Tell me about it, and how all these comments are so quick to bash the game, it is honestly not as bad as everyone makes it out to be
Fire Hedgehog personally, I loved this game and can't wait to see more. The whole Firefly thing it had going was pretty cool. The Heleus Cluster truly felt like it was the new frontier to me.
THEN DON'T PLAY ANDROMEDA!
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE FOR IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!?
What the hell? I do like Andromeda
well most of them are now fixed so shouildn't be so much of a problem.
The voice actress of Sara Ryder looks great, they should've based default Sara's look off her. Instead we all have to make our own.
I could just listen to Lexi and Suvi read from the phone book and be happy.
I'll be here if you need me.
Even in real life Kumail Nanjiani sounds like salarian.
Mass effect ANdromeda: Game of Thrones edition
That moment when you find out sweet Josephine from DA was voiced by the same actress who voiced Kesh
Wait? Sam is voiced by a woman?
ThunderGun2 duh dun duuuuun
LOL
Plot twist
That sort of knocked me of my feet too. Well... it's Mass Effect. Always full of surprises.
ThunderGun2 also Goku and that ? No meeter
I don't care what anyone says I LOVED this game
It was good but definitely could have spent another year or so in development
Same, besides some of the crappy facial animations it was actually really good! No where near as good as the trilogy but if andromeda was its own game it would be fantastic (does that make sense?)
It is my favourite mass effect game
@@Voice_of_a_dragon you should try the other ones in that case.
@@BoJangles42 I have played all the mass effect games 1,2 and 3 and andromeda will always be my favourite 🤓
Love the voice cast for this game. Great video!

Unpopular opinion: Mass Effect Andromeda is a good game worth the time and has a lot of potential to make its sequel brilliant
You are right, specially due to the characters :)
It would have been a decent game, had it came out as an independent title. But now it has to mach with its predecessors, and let's be real here - you can't be better than the legends :)
I have mixed feelings about this game.
We all do
I don't, is crap.
+Lynch85
Have you even played the game?
Andromeda is a great game lost inside a mediocre one. The companion missions are great and there's some incredible, memorable story moments, but it's just packed with way too much filler in between.
I think it is the best mass effect
Just wished the female characters would at least resemble their voice actresses. Especially Sara Ryder would have profited from that. Funnily, Vetra actually faintly resembles Danielle Rayne.
This game has the most memable faces ever.
Shaun N Ince ya because they are all tired.
Because Feminists runs the show in this game now

LightStreak567 what killed it for me was when you meet the aliens for the first time. They speak English, and Ryder doesn't even act suprised.

same
Drack was the only thing that felt almost complete in this game.
Tom Taylorson (Scott Ryder) also reads the audiobook of Mass Effect: Annihilation. His range of voices is seriously incredible, including a hilarious female Batarian.
Also, I like how Gil's real name is Geth.
4 Game of Thrones actors, I love it!
MASTERFLEEGZ ya that was awesome
I count 5.
Gethin Anthony (Renly)
Gemma Whelan (Yara)
Indira Varma (Ellaria)
Natalie Dormer (Margaery)
Nicholas Boulton (Fighting pit announcer)
Allegra Clark also did Josephine in Inquisition!
They definitely needed better voice actors for the main characters. They don't have even half the gravitas in there voice that shepard had.
Margary Tyrell is Lexi. SURPRISINGLY GOOD
Are you feeling it now, Alec Ryder?
Probably when they were done voice acting, there faces we're tired.
Legend has it that Addison's face is still tired

That's quice the cast!
Bioware must have some great refreshments.

I cant believe scott ryder is not played by Nolan North💯
I DIDN'T KNOW JOSEPHINE AND KESH HAD THE SAME VOICE ACTRESS 😯 Allegra Clark really has quite the vocal range
Sloane Kelly and The Moshae are voiced by Vivienne's VA.
@@MandalorianRevan 2 years later and somehow this is also new information
Reyes is also male Hawke/Xenon the Aquarian (in the Black Emporium)

DamuEmran
The voice acting of the Ryder twins and SAM is down right awful
just me
It is, they put no life into it.
Gets told their dad died, sounds bland, the voice had no emotion.
And don't even get me started on S.A.M
just me
Err, they actually put emotion intoo it, male Shep was good in the second and great in the third game.
While some of the story and acting criticism is valid in some cases, it was definitely the technical issue that really killed this game. Without them, I'm pretty sure that EA would've turned a much better profit from it.
Sara Ryder's voice in Mass Effect Andromeda ALWAYS reminded me of Captain Marvel's voice. 🤔
Just listen to both side by side and compare.
Whoa. Is that picture of Cindy Robinson for real? Are her eyes really like that? If so, that's awesome.
Tom Taylorson really sounds like Nolan North in this game
I know, I really thought it was too. Dang.
Thank you , I thought it was only me
Archon's voice actor is hot AF. Didn't expect that O.O
"Do not explore or interact with anything"
ME:Andromeda could of been a really good game if only EA did not pander to a small group of people and actually made content for the game.
Was Miranda Raison (Cassandra Pentaghast) part of the game? Pretty sure I heard her as background Angara... Also wow, neverwould have recognized Josephine without the Antivan accent! And 3 GoT actors too!
I am poker faced so you can't tell my reaction.
First time I've seen where the game characters (mainly the female humans) didn't look as good or better than the real flesh and blood voice actors...
WAIT FRYDA VOICED RYDER?? Loba ?!! Aaaaaaaaa omg and Allegra as kesh lmao I love them
I always thought the male main character was voiced by Nolan north
Before I even installed the game, I knew Papa Ryder was not going to be around for long. Clancy Brown is the American Sean Bean, and is somehow required to die in the first act, except in the rare case where he makes ALMOST to the end. But, there can be only one.

No I enjoy it too fanboys just pissed Ryder is not Shepard 2.0 and nobody is dick riding their precious hero anymore
People need to stop expecting this game to be the original trilogy and they'll realize this game is fantastic.
So many actors from Game of Thrones. Margaery, Renly, Ellaria, and Yara
2:25 Well her face actually does look tired.
Andromeda was a wildly underated game
Tom Taylorson sounds so much like Nolan North wtf
Exactly! I kept thinking to myself is that Nolan North or an cheap imitator.
They hired 4 Game of Thrones actors in this game.
I KNEW it was Clancy Brown!!
Didn't know Robert Kazinsky voiced Archon until this.
It's crazy how much male Ryder sounds like Nolan North.
Alec is Mr.krabs
hoshit, Noct is Evfra?! Mind blowing.
my face is tired
"Kill...me...now."
Androme- What. i havent heard of this game in a minute
Gary Carr is from Downton Abbey :)
Gil is voiced by Renly.
I love this game, for me it's really cool, it's a shame there's no sequel
So many familiar names.
Natalie Dormer and Katy Townsend 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Wait, they had like the whole minor thrones cast for this game? :D :D :D
Why the hell didn't they just take the Disney approach and make Sara look like her voice actress?! Meeeow! 😻
Should've known that Lex Luthor would be behind something like the Andromeda Project :P
Scott Ryder is Zenkichi Hasegawa in Persona 5 Strikers.
Anyone else notice Peebee is voiced by Jane from Walking Dead?
She's best known as the girl from "Step by Step '
Frydda is fucking gorgeous!
Fryda*
The default female Ruder looks so much like one of my sisters it’s kinda creepy 😂😂
So many actors from Game Of Thrones.
Mass Effect Andromeda had so much potential. One of 2017's most disappointing games.
Yep i fear nothing new in this franchise will reach the greatness of shepards trilogy. Especially now that Bioware has announced that andromeda will be the last mass effect game for a long while.
And i say again....
Did you play the damned game?
ivan Armas did you?
Same has been said about Fallout 4
I understand what you mean when you say that, but supporting Bioware might be the only way to encourage them to not end Mass Effect on Andromeda.
Wait, fucking Indira Varma?! I would have never been able to tell!
OK its taken me a while to notice this but why does Tom Taylorson look like Todd Howard in that image
Fryda Wolff doesn't look like a potato, so why does Ryder?
Yeah no I can't connect with them like AT ALL
They should have put Troy Baker as the main character male voice actor.
is it me or does nolan north play in every video game lol
Archon is voiced by Orgrim Doomhammer himself xD
I thought it was nolan north who played scott ryder
Scott was voiced by Noland North
Rome Mojica he wasn't
Casey will fix boiware and mass effect i have confidence in him
Cool
I'm sorry but, when I see Sara Ryder, I hear Loba--!
I almost thought that Nolan North was Scott.
Game could’ve been good if it didn’t have so much traveling required between worlds it was annoying it wouldn’t be as bad if you could have some form of flying instead of the car they gave you
Nyasha's voice :)
multiple game of thrones cast as voice actors for the game
explains where the budget went and why the game turned out shite
Lot of Game of thrones actors here...
Who is the voice actor of Primus?
I kinda want to romance the Archon now ❤
Yo was that Eddie Lizard??
At first I thought Tann was voiced by a woman. Now I feel bad. Sorry Dinesh.
