I'm really lookng forward to seeing the outside of space real time from my bedroom, I'll have to find a big ole sun and pretend I'm Illusive man for a moment.
evercor91 That's the level of detail Mass Effect needed, imo. It might seem small but it makes the places you visit seem like actual places. That and more time spent in the airlock. I hope Andromeda has airlock scenes.
RicAdbur I get the impression Bioware are being incredibly careful not to oversell by claiming hundreds- and they've made it sound even less than there is by accident. Least that's what i hope
as fully realized as that desert planet was, with all the post planet stuff(colonizing) i can't imagine there being.....um..6 to 10 of these types of planets, at best.
I'm really liking the new direction of Mass Effect. The trilogy was more akin to Star Wars, a big bustling space epic with good vs evil on stepping stones of big plot points. Andromeda feels much more like a long series of Star Trek, more about exploration and characters than end of the world threats.
Swfan Uboros Set-up a home in Andromeda get Ryder and the crew established then in the next one have good vs evil if thats what they're trying to do then i'm okay with that
slipknotpurity00 pretty sure thats a joke and reference to a previous mass effect game where legion tells you geth ships don't have windows because they are a structural weakness.
Hope this isn't a case of "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle." Mass Effect is about the *story* and *characters*, not exploration. You can do both, of course (Witcher 3 and Fallout New Vegas being good examples), but I want the interactions side quests & exploration to be more meaningful than in Inquisition.
While something tells me that this ain't gonna be as shallow as a puddle, i sure as hell doubt it'll be as deep as an ocean. with so much energy devoted to graphics in crafting environments & combat, one would wonder how much would be left for developing stories & characters. but then again, Bioware had 5 years to build this one--more than twice of what was given to build any series of the trilogy. so yeah, we'll wait & see, but so far, i like what i see.
It sounds like they are trying for a lower number of more detailed locations. At the very least, it doesn't sound like they are procedurally generating anything.
He said hundreds of planets but a handful can be landed on. It has also been clarified that it is NOT open world. Meaning this game is not wide as an ocean, but maybe it'll be deep. My theory is that the "exploration" is actually you probably wandering the planet and completing objectives as you would on multiplayer to increase planet viability. That being said I think the multiplayer will contribute to planet viability as well.
the Internet is so desperate to hate this, thinking they know Bioware inside and out... thing is, if you haven't played it yet, your angry takes are irrelevant. have fun being hateful! this is looking great.
Andrew White Funny, people said the same thing about AC Unity, the master chief collection, No Mans Sky, and just about every other game I can think of that came out in the last 3 years that ended up being horrible. When are people going to learn that pre ordering games just encourages developers to spend less time making a polished game, and instead release a half assed, unfinished, buggy mess that needs at least another 6 months of development time? Oh right, never. Because people don't get smarter, only dumber.
And they also said it about good games Pre-ordering is shit true, but there's a difference between advising caution and actively shitting on a game you've barely experienced yet, a big difference.
Zak Malins Bush I think most of the hate is justified though. Most people don't hate on games just for the hell of it, although I'm sure there are some who do that. Nobody wants this game to suck, but chances are that if every trailer is making the game less appealing to you, you're probably going to dislike the final product. Besides there has been so much deception in the game industry lately that it's hard to believe what these developers say. And I don't care about biowares track record, as far as I'm concerned all developers have the compacity to become greedy and produce half finished, cash grabs like no man's sky.
ME:Andromeda seems to be a great new approach of the ME universe, with reach gameplay and outstanding areas. The waiting's killing me. *_Please Bioware, don't take the ranting and hating comments seriously._* Real fans and gamers don't share these disrespectful and illegitimate judgments (the game not being out yet). Cheers from France!
Real fans of the game are so fanboys that they ignore the bad things bioware do because they would even eat bioware shit. Because of you fanboys ME:A is going to be shit.
Too bad you can't make a difference between dedicated people and "fanboys". I surely can spot what differs between a comment based on hatred and a constructive criticism. I'll let you choose what category your answer belongs to.
Gofrette I'm skeptical of Mass Effect Andromeda. Dragon Age Origins is my favorite game. Guess I'm disrespectful with illegitimate opinions and I'm not a true scots-I mean-Bioware fan.
Patrick Murphy I guess you did not get my point, just like Syanna. There is nothing wrong with being skeptical. I'm talking about people who spit on every piece of content showed by Bioware, practically insulting the people working on the game, just for the sake of it. From my POV it's a nonsense that can lead to nothing but disappointment/anger/aversion from the studio towards the players. And nobody would benefit from it.
This is what the fuck I'm talking about, single player experience to the max. Thank God in a world of forced online only and pvp there are a few developers that still give a shit about making a good single player game. (yes I know they have online play ability too and I loved it)
To those going into the comments, be warned. You will find many people making hasty generalizations on this game despite it not even being out yet. And maybe a dank meme along the way.
I've never played ME before and personally think this game looks amazing, however all I see in the comments are fans of the original trilogy saying this looks terrible. Therefore I'm feeling very sceptical...
Don't read the comments. It's the worst pile of toxic waste I've ever seen. There are no meaningful discussions there, only complaining and bashing. As a die hard ME fan I can say that Andromeda looks amazing and I can't wait to play it.
Testractus Thanks for your perspective! That's what Ive heard a few people say too... I think I'll wait for reviews just to see but I'm still very excited to finally jump into the world of ME!
It's pretty common that so many negative/bad comments tend to ruin the opinions and general feel of a game, actually being made to feel way more let down from it... People did it a lot with DA:I, and it pretty much ended up ruining the entire game for me, and with constant people telling me it's terrible despite the fact I've put over 100+ hours into the game and enjoyed it (especially with the story and romances), made me honestly dislike a game that's really huge/important to me... Just don't let people get to you! There may be things you may not like playing in it, but all in all, now that the audience has grown into the "LOL TRIGGERED CORA IS A TR*NNY IT SUCKS LOLOLOL" quote unquote Anti-SJW who tend to ruin just about any form of opinion, is kinda blatantly making people worry/upset. Because either it's completely wrong and bad, or it's good, no in between and It's pretty shitty. I assure you, it'll be a good game! Sometimes it's good to just go like "Hey, I don't care what you say, I'll play it because I think it's enjoyable and looks good!" SORRY for the long comment, I'm just bitter about the fact people will always act like this over EVERYTHING...!
Because people love to moan. People hate progress. And people like to hate Bioware and EA. As a huge ME fan, this game honestly looks like it contains everything I loved about mass effect, dialed up and improved. The comabt looks more fluid and inspired, less cover based, kinda like how we played ME3's multiplayer, the exploration takes the parts of ME1 where you got to explore planets, and makes it 100x better due to advances of modern technology and a bigger focus on it, with better looking environments and more personally crafted ones. The story, while we haven't seen much, appears to combine the sense that you are a very small part of a big galaxy, as well as the feeling that everything is important from all three games, and it retains the amazing parts of the original trilogy that have transferred, many of the species we grew to love, their weapons and technology, and their personality all appear to still persist in Andromeda. We also keep the personalised character and storylines that defines both Mass Effect and Bioware RPGs in general, with a whole host of interesting new characters. Obviously I cannot speak to how the end product is/will be, I haven't played it, and waiting for reviews is ALWAYS a good idea, but from the pre release material we have been given, it looks bloody brilliant, and I genuinely cannot wait to immerse myself and learn about a whole new galaxy, surrounded by equal parts old Mass Effect and new game (and galaxy ;P)
I say go ahead and get it, this game has the best things from the previous games and seems to add few new things of its own, it's also a soft reset of the story since it happens in a totally different galaxy so anyone can jump in and play without previous knowledge of the previous games.
The exploration was my favorite aspect of the trilogy so I'm loving how beautiful some of these planets are looking and how you can view them through that window.
Saren didn't find a cure. His solution was to clone Krogan instead of breeding them. Kind of like what Okeer did to make Grunt. And since all of Saren's equipment and data got nuked there's no way any of it survived.
Worse, he is dead in this timeline - as is nearly everyone we knew with the exception of long lived Krogan and Asari. I want the old MEU back, not this Galactic Invasion stuff with a cannonless mako.
I still dont understand how the "locals" are that of Milky Way. Like does Andromeda have no settlements of its own intelligent life? They all just arrived there together, how do they have time to establish a settlement and form their own agendas and we have to convince them to help? Theyre all part of the same mission.
Dan C Thats what Im tryna figure out the most, I thought they arrived there recently together, like they on the same mission, why do they already have established settlements with different agendas and you somehow have to appeal to them.
@Chrisnavox Food. Commodity. It the same as you ask " why don't draft everyone into military then go to invade other country?" Manpower require logistic to have an impact. The Arc Hyperion/Nexus doesn't have limitless power.
nguyen ba giap I get that but I was under the impression they fitted their ship with all the resources able to sustain their whole population, you csnt send a surplus of population and say "we'll build the rest of the ship when we get there".
I never played Dragon Age: Inquisition but there seems to be a lot people comparing it to ME:A, so I decided to take a look into the games review in 2014; 2014 Game of the Year 2014 Best Role Playing Game www.metacritic.com/game/pc/dragon-age-inquisition/critic-reviews Metacritic Score (PC): 85 (based on 45 professional critic scores) Majority of reviews were positive scores between 80 - 100 (40 reviews) The remaining 6 reviews scored between 59 - 70. (5 reviews) Metacritic Score (PS4): 89 (based on 43 professional critic scores) Metacritic Score (XB1): 85 (based on 28 professional critic scores) #1 Most Discussed PC Game of 2014 #2 Most Shared PC Game of 2014 So I'm going to take the comparisons between the two games as completely positive otherwise the people that are making these comparisons and suggesting that its negative either never played the game, they don't know what they're talking about or they just aren't gamers. or maybe they're just a combination of the 3.
All of the above. It's a great game, definitely not flawless, but people started bashing it after Witcher 3 came out and it's only got worse ever since. Let's hope these comparisons will end once Andromeda finally comes out.
It's sad how this new generation of gamers are picking "sides" or feel the need to protect their loyalty to a specific platform or developer. I started in the days of Atari and I play all platforms and I support all developers. The Witcher 3 was a master piece and I've played through it twice but I never compare it to any other game. If anything I hope other game developers take notice regarding how CD Projekt Red took their time during development. We can also use Horizon: Zero Dawn as an example. The game runs flawlessly on PS4 Pro at 4K because they took the time to optimize it. We should celebrate games and enjoy playing them, not compare them just to tear down another developer.
I'm afraid optimism is pretty much non-existent nowadays. People can't just enjoy things, they will keep nitpicking to satisfy their need to express negativity and other people jump on this train. There is no constructive criticism in the comments under videos about Andromeda and therefore a pile of toxic waste is created. Just look at Zelda, it has so many perfect scores and people say that Nintendo bought positive reviews...maybe the game is just damn fine? It's always good to give a developer benefit of the doubt, but it's going too far in almost every aspect. No Man's Sky previews were all outstanding and scripted in a way that the game seemed like a masterpiece and what happened when it finally launched? Disaster.
I completely agree on everything you've just said. Unfortunately its a sad reality. Video game/gaming is such an awesome medium and fun hobby which so many people enjoy that I wish these discussions weren't so toxic. But I guess that's why we have private gaming forums. I have been watching the development and reviews for Zelda: BotW and I'm glad that Nintendo nailed it. I will be picking up the game this weekend but I will do so for the Wii U as I cannot justify buying a $400+ console for 1, maybe 2 games. I already own a gaming PC, a PS4 and a XB1 so most games that are released I already have a console to play it on. Plus buying Zelda: BotW for the Wii U helps me feel just slightly better for my terrible decision to buy a Wii U years ago. This will be the 4th and final game I'll own for the Wii U. I was a huge supporter for No Man's Sky as their vision for the game fits me perfectly. Unfortunately they game in to the pressure and release a alpha, maybe even a beta build of the game well before it was finished. I still love how beautiful it looks and I believe that they can fix it in the future as they continue to develop for the game but they need A LOT more content. BTW, how fucking awesome has March 2017 become for gaming?! With Horizon: Zero Dawn, Zelda: BotW, Nier: Automata and Mass Effect: Andromeda all dropping in the same month! It's hard enough to get 4 top quality AAA games in a single year let alone in the same month!
It sure is a great month! I'll have a lot of catching up to do after Andromeda :) Hopefully the rest of the year will be just as exciting! I'm glad I finally had a meaningful conversation on RUclips ;)
small yet amazing things i noticed while watching this trailer: 1. the amazing music in the background 2. how legendary the pathfinder is going to be 3. how kind scott ryder sounded and 4. what a big adventure this is going to be
Establishing camps did almost nothing in DAI, at least in ME it seems it will help unlock more content. In DAI it was just a fast travel + cheap restock point.
I hope the world isn't as completely empty and devoid of purpose and point as DA:I. I hope the combat isn't just wail on this guy for 2 minutes because he's a bullet sponge like DA:I, I hope the story isn't as insultingly stupid as DA:I and isn't simply the result of everyone acting like a complete moron like DA:I. What am I saying, it will be all those things because this is new Bioware and not the old Bioware that made Mass Effect 1.
Your arc is actually not the first one. We already know this. There's even a book coming out that deals with that exact fact. The ark you're on somehow got "lost" or whatever and is over a year late to the party (though they potentially don't know that yet? Not sure). And even before that the Nexus was already there for a few months/years. It's pretty much clarified already, so everything is ok ;)
Tony Ye - so there are multiple arks of the same species? i thought there was only 20,000 of the same race only within each individual ark another human being there would mean 2nd human ark then
Oh can the SJW/Anti-SJW people shut the fuck up. It's just going to be DAI in space nothing amazing nothing terrible just an interesting story interspaced between massive empty map exploration with a possibly good multiplayer filled with lootboxes.
Tristan K it seems that you don't understand my point so idgaf about whasoever bs againts me ..... i have a brain and i use it correctly and i know what i see and read .... nuff said
Pete Banger mayb i don't understand what he just said ...... it happens sometimes with me bcuz, i'm losing my english comprehension ..... or i'm just dumb for not being able to read correctly ...... anyway, i don't really like to defend myself againts strangers ..... i'm kind of lost all time
Not sure, i dont want to know to much about the mates not to spoil anything but Vetra seems cool in her design and all :) Im going in as Male Ryder on my first run :) You?
I'm actually very pleasantly surprised with this game. I'm absolutely loving it, and I was about ready to cancel my pre order after watching all the pre-release doom and gloom vids. I can't believe how much they have cleaned up the graphics since the week before release... there are still crazy eyes everywhere, but the worlds are gorgeous and the conversations are much more engaging than I expected from the spoiler vids. I'm generally pretty leery of EA games these days, but I'd definitely say if you're unsure, give this one a shot.
"A handful of beautifully crafted worlds can be landed on" ...So... five planets can be landed on? or a handful as in, I have a bigass hand and can grab quite a few? Hm.
Well he said over 100 planets you can explore so I can only imagine a dozen means like 12 or so fully featured story size planets, then probably lots of ones available for scanning/looking at like ME2 and ME3.
This looks like an amazing game! But there is just one sentence that scares me, "In Andromeda there are over 100 planets to discover and a handful of beautifully crafted worlds to be landed on." How many does he consider a handful?! Although the exploration looks massive, I hope it isn't an illusion with the reality of invisible walls all over the place. Some questions: I would like answered, How many worlds can we explore? Would it be possible to get an idea of how big the map and are all the worlds maps the same in size? Can we conquer planets if we decide to be a bad guy? Is there a variety of quests dealing with other factions to like us so we can put up outposts or is it a wash rinse repeat scenario? Of course I doubt I will get an answer here but if any know or if others have the same questions... speak up!!
wastingsanity well we know for a fact there are 7 golden world's so I imagine we can land on them and I'm guessing maybe 2 or 3 more unmentioned planets but that's just guessing
I imagine only worlds that are deemed potentially capable of housing Humanity and the other races will be "fully" explorable, with other worlds having smaller but more structured player spaces.
As a Mass Effect die hard, I seriously don't understand the complaints. Heavy focus on exploration? Check. Beautiful visuals? Check. Great gameplay? Check. Relationships? Check. If the story is half as strong as the original, this is an easy contender for GOTY.
Why are people saying "I hope it's not like Inquisition."? I thought inquisition got GREAT reviews? I'm confused where the sudden hate for Bioware is coming from? Like really confused
At first, yes. But after a few month or so when the hype died down people started to see the flaws in the gameplay, story, etc and started pointing them out.
Well, we hope it's not like Inquisition because we already have Inquisition lol. Why would we want a brand new game with the same aspects of a game we already have?
Hey. Stop. Don't scroll down. It's absolute worst of the youtube comments... You're thinking about it... STOP. DONT DO IT... See.. I told you not to do it. Now you are frustrated, that the game you are looking forward to, is being hated, blatantly.
Having played and adored the ME trilogy, I have been loving what has been shown to us in MEA. Is it so bad to accept changes? Especially, when all you have had yet are prepared video bites of a huge game? I will agree to your criticism, after I play the game and find out you are right, but for now, I don't believe any of the hate posts I have seen so far.
IndianTelephone go and watch the 17 minutes gameplay video released two days ago and come back and say that again. I guarantee you will change your mind VERY quickly.
looking at 0:40, the Heleus Cluster is not a natural formation. Worlds are to evenly spread out, colors in the arms of the Cluster are unnatural, and the energy vortex in the middle is what is holding this Cluster together. I bet the Vaults are some link to Remnent tech that built this Cluster long ago. Vaults are points for when the Cluster was first built. It also might be that this Cluster has no rotation and is stationary. we shall see.
I love the Mass Effect series so much that even when adding white chocolate, strawberry cake and an assorted selection of milk based beverages to the mix, Mass Effect would still be top 5! That said, I'm not pre-ordering, as I fear it's not going to be totally brilliant, though it seems pretty sure that it's going to be damn nice. Damn nice I can live with, even if "totally brilliant" would be much preferable.
I feel like this has become what movies have become. When people watch so many movies, then come to feel the need to critique it critically. Now that's the same with video games and it's sad. Why can't you guys give it a chance? I know No Mans sky was disappointing but that's no reason to judge every space game that has the same ideas because it's not going to be the same game.
They don't. You have the CHOICE to buy it, and if you buy it and it turns out bad, then they don't treat you like an idiot... you are an idiot. Take some personal responsibility. I regret buying No Mans Sky, but I'm still gonna preorder Mass Effect. That's my CHOICE. So if it's bad I have to live with it.
ME2 - Nice game, but... ME3 - Dissapointment SWTOR - Dissappointment DA: Inquistion - Dissapointment SWTOR "expansion" - Dissapointment So, yeah, my hopes are pretty low right now with Bioware.
Of course you can have doubts! I have my doubts as well. I see many flaws in Dragon Age Inquisition but for the most part I enjoyed what we got. I do agree the combat reminds me a tad of destiny in the last combat vid, but it might have just been the setting which looked like something you could find in Destiny.
cause the original writers of ME are all gone. And the ones who protested against the ME 3 Ending and the policy that time also are gone. Which means the original Crew of ME to ME 3 are not working anymore for Bioware. Which means this could turn out to be alot of Open World, Exploration and so on but lack hugely on the ME main Focus which always was great story telling and character design and character development. I fear this will be the most overhyped game of 2017 and the ending mark for the ME Series.
That is a sure fire way to ruin a good steak. If it's a shitty steak then it's a decent way to impart some flavour, but you should really be focusing on getting nicer steaks. Maybe a dry aged rump or rib-eye.
I scrolled through the Popular comments for five minutes and found like one negative one with 2 likes or smth like that.Why is mine cancerous ? I just stated that I couldn´t find many negative ones.
i really don't like how it looks so far, but i don't like to judge stuff based of this videos. But so far i saw 0 videos with ROLE PLAYING and STORY in a ROLE PLAYING GAME!.
they are featuring the features of the game week by week, i think the story, the want to keep in quiet to keep the wonder of exploration alive, remember this is not gonna be a deep story like the trilogy, this is more about exploration and discovery, there's going to be a story just not as deep as the trilogy. In this video he mentioned that you have to interact with the people settling the planets so you can build on them and get perks, that's the RPG element.
dafuq are humans and krogan doing here already. i thought the arks brought a ll the races at the same time and andromeda was basically undisvovered by the citadel races
It's in our nature we want to explore. If I had the choice to go on a one way trip to somewhere in Andromeda or somewhere just in our Galaxy I would choose Andromeda.And obviously use some logic bro it's clearly so the writers could find a way to fit in a new mass effect game without the reapers being a problem.
Syanna Uh...how? The Normandy looks *nothing* like a flotilla ship. A lot of ships in Mass Effect have different styles and are relatively easy to tell apart. An Asari cruiser looks nothing like an Alliance or Turian ship for example.
Maybe they decide to take different paths and different planets to explore to each species, so you can encounter milky Way species. All are trying to get a new home and the planet that works for the Krogans, doesnt work for the humans, etc.
Kronos I think there were other programs with different species to go to andromeda. I think I saw it answered in another trailer before but I'm not too sure. it's the only logical explanation though
Diego Montesdeoca So you'd have a hundred random planets over 5-10 ones that are hand crafted? That's not including moons, ships, space stations or whatever else.
Just started Andromeda 5 years after launch, and am loving it. Exploration is really engrossing - although for me the Life Support consumables don’t work, which is a problem in a hostile environment (so, all of them!) Overall though, super fun. And the music is great.
None of you seem to understand. He says that a handful of planets can be explored. A handful. Now, a planet's big. Bigger than me, and I can't even fit me in my hand, so I don't think I'd do much better with a planet. From this, it's clear this you can't actually explore any planets; just a really small patch of dirt. So, while everyone else is inspecting each grain of dirt, I'll be playing the only true spacefaring game: Asteroids. Feel free to join me when you wake up.
little fuckheads just need to play the fucking game (like theyre going to anyways) and enjoy it. I can't believe how critical people are. Bioware literally spends years, however much money and assets and creativity to make a game to be enjoyed, and fat fucks in their parents basement knit pick and bitch about little fucking bullshit lol
This looks pretty good, but I'm concerned about how many planets can you land on. How much is "a handful of planets"? I would prefer smaller but more diverse areas, than for example 3 huge planets that look samey. Well, as long as the quests are interesting, I'm on board.
This is something a Star Wars game should be, exploration, Jodi sith fights, wars, space battles. What can be put in is endless. I am waiting for such a star wars.
I love inquisition. Its one of my favorite games. I never said I hated it or had a problem with it. I have a problem with bioware recreating the same game over and over again.
blackvial the only thing you did in Inquistion was go to the far right of the map, get something, go to the far left, fight 4 people, and then have a meaningless conversation with someone
It says a lot when I'm not excited for the next game in one of my favourite franchises. Looks like a typical "alliance builder" game with no interesting story (AKA DA:Inquisition) where you just run around and do favours for random groups of people in order to gain their favour. That's basically it, Dragon Age: Inquisition in space.
Because DA:I's story boils down to everyone acting like a bunch of idiots and the player being constantly foiled by a bad railroader of a writer who couldn't actually manage to foil the player by having the villain be powerful and clever, so they just used their power as a god writer to make the player lose simply because the writer says, "and now you lose in this scene for absolutely no reason."
"where you just run around and do favors for random groups of people in order to gain their favor.".....um,. so you mean every DA/ME ever made to this day? Because let me remove your rose tinted classes for once, thats what happen in DA:O, ME1, ME2, ME3, DA:I......its not a new concept for them.
Jason Clarence Welsh I think they are trying to make it look much bigger than it really is. Also, the game has low texture resolution so it doesn't require a lot of power to run it.
It is truly disheartening the amount of fan boys like +blanket cocoon that are so quick to throw insults at another because they are the ones who are shortsighted and narrow minded they take everything at face value and wonder why they were swindled in the first place... open your eyes.. :/
I admit, blanket cacoon is incredibly toxic. I report his comments whenever I see them. It's unacceptable to be so offensive. I love Mass Effect, it's my favourite franchise of all time, but the community is awful...
Raximous Prime lol "open your eyes" is a weak way to close a statement, it's one of those bows you put on an argument that needs more flare to seem viable. super edgy. yes, everyone who disagrees with you needs to "open their eyes." no.
You can play it (first 10 hours or so + multiplayer) on the 16th if you have EA access xbox or origin access on PC. I think if you've got a ps4 you're shit outta luck. Gotta love ea gouging desperado ME fans like me.
I'm really lookng forward to seeing the outside of space real time from my bedroom, I'll have to find a big ole sun and pretend I'm Illusive man for a moment.
are there any suns that aren't big or old?? (relative to a human lifespan, that is)
there was something special about the one in front of TIM
Dusty Yes its going to be fucking epic even if some facial animations will fuck some players hard, doesnt matter. It will look goddamn good
Pyrrha Nikos Ah, you should see Pulsar stars. Those put stars like ours to shame.
Maia do they pay you $5 per positive comment for bioware? I'm good at bullshitting, can you recruit me too?
It's a small touch but I like the idea of seeing a new planet from your window.
evercor91 That's the level of detail Mass Effect needed, imo. It might seem small but it makes the places you visit seem like actual places.
That and more time spent in the airlock. I hope Andromeda has airlock scenes.
Note to self: On March 20th go outside and look at the sun for one last time.
And say goodbye world!!!!
Get an origin account and play it for 10 hours on the 16th. That's what I did. 12 days to go....can't wait
wanna get the demo give em $80+
Brandon Ramos lmao seriously!!
hahahaha
"Over 100 planets, and a 'handfull' can be landed on." I sure hope that's not as few as it sounds like...
RicAdbur I get the impression Bioware are being incredibly careful not to oversell by claiming hundreds- and they've made it sound even less than there is by accident.
Least that's what i hope
as fully realized as that desert planet was, with all the post planet stuff(colonizing) i can't imagine there being.....um..6 to 10 of these types of planets, at best.
I'd say more 3-6. Closer to 3 than 6
I would think one being named "Habitat 7" might give the impression that there are at least 7 habitable planets that will be large zones.
Theyve stated that there's at least 7. I think I heard somewhere 9.
I'm really liking the new direction of Mass Effect.
The trilogy was more akin to Star Wars, a big bustling space epic with good vs evil on stepping stones of big plot points.
Andromeda feels much more like a long series of Star Trek, more about exploration and characters than end of the world threats.
Yes exactly my thoughts.
RatchildUK Yeah it's like restarting civilization just in case Shepard was right about the Reapers
That's why so far i don't like it. Looks great, but I don't like exploration, i want a battle between good and evil.
Swfan Uboros Set-up a home in Andromeda get Ryder and the crew established then in the next one have good vs evil if thats what they're trying to do then i'm okay with that
TheCowboysFan 18 There isn't going to be an Andromeda 2 they have said. This is a standalone game.
But...windows are a structural weakness
can you clarify which? XP, 7, 8, or 10
Doesn't mean they are actual windows. It could just be images projected in the control room to simulate windows.
GLaDOS ur too smart for ur own good ;))
GLaDOS vista ;)
slipknotpurity00 pretty sure thats a joke and reference to a previous mass effect game where legion tells you geth ships don't have windows because they are a structural weakness.
Im gonna miss Tali and Garrus
yeah same here too bad they dont live long as the asari and krogan
Jordan Hargraves you can still go back to the trilogy anytime. We'll have new characters here to remember and have memories for.
Jordan Hargraves Tali and Garrus are my best friends even though they aren't real
Таня Агафонова ah them too
Edi was so much better than "Sam"...
Hope this isn't a case of "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle." Mass Effect is about the *story* and *characters*, not exploration. You can do both, of course (Witcher 3 and Fallout New Vegas being good examples), but I want the interactions side quests & exploration to be more meaningful than in Inquisition.
While something tells me that this ain't gonna be as shallow as a puddle, i sure as hell doubt it'll be as deep as an ocean. with so much energy devoted to graphics in crafting environments & combat, one would wonder how much would be left for developing stories & characters. but then again, Bioware had 5 years to build this one--more than twice of what was given to build any series of the trilogy. so yeah, we'll wait & see, but so far, i like what i see.
It sounds like they are trying for a lower number of more detailed locations.
At the very least, it doesn't sound like they are procedurally generating anything.
180 side quests...6 main quests. Just gonna leave those numbers here. Of course I could just be making those up.
imoneoldfart Fallout 4 has a good story and characters??? I'm guessing you also liked ME3's original ending and the starchild?
He said hundreds of planets but a handful can be landed on. It has also been clarified that it is NOT open world. Meaning this game is not wide as an ocean, but maybe it'll be deep.
My theory is that the "exploration" is actually you probably wandering the planet and completing objectives as you would on multiplayer to increase planet viability. That being said I think the multiplayer will contribute to planet viability as well.
the Internet is so desperate to hate this, thinking they know Bioware inside and out... thing is, if you haven't played it yet, your angry takes are irrelevant. have fun being hateful! this is looking great.
Andrew White Funny, people said the same thing about AC Unity, the master chief collection, No Mans Sky, and just about every other game I can think of that came out in the last 3 years that ended up being horrible. When are people going to learn that pre ordering games just encourages developers to spend less time making a polished game, and instead release a half assed, unfinished, buggy mess that needs at least another 6 months of development time? Oh right, never. Because people don't get smarter, only dumber.
Games are generally shit after 2004.
And they also said it about good games
Pre-ordering is shit true, but there's a difference between advising caution and actively shitting on a game you've barely experienced yet, a big difference.
Andrew White and Zak Malins Bush, thanks to both of you.
I will now stop browsing through these comments on the high note of your reason.
Zak Malins Bush I think most of the hate is justified though. Most people don't hate on games just for the hell of it, although I'm sure there are some who do that. Nobody wants this game to suck, but chances are that if every trailer is making the game less appealing to you, you're probably going to dislike the final product. Besides there has been so much deception in the game industry lately that it's hard to believe what these developers say. And I don't care about biowares track record, as far as I'm concerned all developers have the compacity to become greedy and produce half finished, cash grabs like no man's sky.
ME:Andromeda seems to be a great new approach of the ME universe, with reach gameplay and outstanding areas. The waiting's killing me.
*_Please Bioware, don't take the ranting and hating comments seriously._* Real fans and gamers don't share these disrespectful and illegitimate judgments (the game not being out yet).
Cheers from France!
Real fans of the game are so fanboys that they ignore the bad things bioware do because they would even eat bioware shit.
Because of you fanboys ME:A is going to be shit.
Too bad you can't make a difference between dedicated people and "fanboys". I surely can spot what differs between a comment based on hatred and a constructive criticism. I'll let you choose what category your answer belongs to.
Syanna, Wanna bet your first born on that? Didnt think so.
Gofrette I'm skeptical of Mass Effect Andromeda. Dragon Age Origins is my favorite game. Guess I'm disrespectful with illegitimate opinions and I'm not a true scots-I mean-Bioware fan.
Patrick Murphy I guess you did not get my point, just like Syanna. There is nothing wrong with being skeptical. I'm talking about people who spit on every piece of content showed by Bioware, practically insulting the people working on the game, just for the sake of it.
From my POV it's a nonsense that can lead to nothing but disappointment/anger/aversion from the studio towards the players.
And nobody would benefit from it.
This is what the fuck I'm talking about, single player experience to the max. Thank God in a world of forced online only and pvp there are a few developers that still give a shit about making a good single player game. (yes I know they have online play ability too and I loved it)
Whilst I have my doubts about this game I'll still drink to that!
Mass Effect + Skyrim + No Man's Sky = Could be the BEST GAME EVER.
Pathfinder! Another settlement needs your help!
Patulian Gray Sick reference bro!
Patulian Gray Preston get the fuck back to sanctuary I don't want you near andromeda
Catman I built an entire vault to seal him inside with no water, food or electricity never heard from him again HAHAHAHA
117darksonic you game glitched preston will be forever with you character
Catman yes he has very important information about a settlement being attacked
Everyone who is complaining about the graphics must have never played a mass effect game before.
I didn't know people were. God people complain at everything
Sounds like you haven't played a ME game before because the series used to known for its advanced graphics for its time.
The facial animations are kinda meh which is a shame. Hopefully they fix those but I doubt it. Still looks like a great game though.
treeflit the graphic is amazing!!
Nude Injection but they have? Mass effect 3 graphics are seriously miles behind what is shown here lol
To those going into the comments, be warned. You will find many people making hasty generalizations on this game despite it not even being out yet. And maybe a dank meme along the way.
Robert Farcingtin But the priiize...
Robert Farcingtin did somebody say... dank memes?
Yeah, theres a lot of people saying this is going to be a great game even though they haven't played it yet. Watch out for those people.
21
Robert Farcingtin I'm cool with the dank memes. just not the salt
So many open-world games, so little time. Not that I'm complaining.
ElijahPw word the struggle
ElijahPw HIGH AS FUCK
Your profile picture makes me uncomfortable
nice i see you finally unlocked your sharingan.
The only complaint is the lack of time available.
so it looks like choosing to wake either Merchant, Military or science pods will give you inquisition style benefits
I haven't played Inquisition... is this a good or bad thing?
Silk1x Pretty bad.
not good or bad, just that playing the same mechanic again does not seem a great idea
its just like an extra benefit say if you focus on merchants you get lower prices and whatnot
This is good. Inquisition was good in my eyes but it had some faults.
*I preordered this game. I better not be disappointed.*
Same here, this will be the last game i'll preorder if this game sucks.
Tim Ahlen I love ME this is the last chance they get. I've played all the ME games multiple times.
Don't preorder then, it promotes shitty scam games like No Man's Sky.
You will preorder Cyberpunk 2077 and we all know it.
Never ever preorder
Brace yourselfs, Cancerous comments incoming! BTW. Looks great can't wait for this game. :)
Just 20 more days
14 if youre doing the early access like me
18*
Looks exactly like Inquisition. Probably same maps with different coloring.
MArch 23rd on standart PS4 for me, so I will probably stay of social media to avoid spoilers! :D :/ :)
I've never played ME before and personally think this game looks amazing, however all I see in the comments are fans of the original trilogy saying this looks terrible. Therefore I'm feeling very sceptical...
Don't read the comments. It's the worst pile of toxic waste I've ever seen. There are no meaningful discussions there, only complaining and bashing. As a die hard ME fan I can say that Andromeda looks amazing and I can't wait to play it.
Testractus Thanks for your perspective! That's what Ive heard a few people say too... I think I'll wait for reviews just to see but I'm still very excited to finally jump into the world of ME!
It's pretty common that so many negative/bad comments tend to ruin the opinions and general feel of a game, actually being made to feel way more let down from it... People did it a lot with DA:I, and it pretty much ended up ruining the entire game for me, and with constant people telling me it's terrible despite the fact I've put over 100+ hours into the game and enjoyed it (especially with the story and romances), made me honestly dislike a game that's really huge/important to me... Just don't let people get to you! There may be things you may not like playing in it, but all in all, now that the audience has grown into the "LOL TRIGGERED CORA IS A TR*NNY IT SUCKS LOLOLOL" quote unquote Anti-SJW who tend to ruin just about any form of opinion, is kinda blatantly making people worry/upset. Because either it's completely wrong and bad, or it's good, no in between and It's pretty shitty.
I assure you, it'll be a good game! Sometimes it's good to just go like "Hey, I don't care what you say, I'll play it because I think it's enjoyable and looks good!"
SORRY for the long comment, I'm just bitter about the fact people will always act like this over EVERYTHING...!
Because people love to moan. People hate progress. And people like to hate Bioware and EA.
As a huge ME fan, this game honestly looks like it contains everything I loved about mass effect, dialed up and improved.
The comabt looks more fluid and inspired, less cover based, kinda like how we played ME3's multiplayer, the exploration takes the parts of ME1 where you got to explore planets, and makes it 100x better due to advances of modern technology and a bigger focus on it, with better looking environments and more personally crafted ones.
The story, while we haven't seen much, appears to combine the sense that you are a very small part of a big galaxy, as well as the feeling that everything is important from all three games, and it retains the amazing parts of the original trilogy that have transferred, many of the species we grew to love, their weapons and technology, and their personality all appear to still persist in Andromeda.
We also keep the personalised character and storylines that defines both Mass Effect and Bioware RPGs in general, with a whole host of interesting new characters.
Obviously I cannot speak to how the end product is/will be, I haven't played it, and waiting for reviews is ALWAYS a good idea, but from the pre release material we have been given, it looks bloody brilliant, and I genuinely cannot wait to immerse myself and learn about a whole new galaxy, surrounded by equal parts old Mass Effect and new game (and galaxy ;P)
I say go ahead and get it, this game has the best things from the previous games and seems to add few new things of its own, it's also a soft reset of the story since it happens in a totally different galaxy so anyone can jump in and play without previous knowledge of the previous games.
The exploration was my favorite aspect of the trilogy so I'm loving how beautiful some of these planets are looking and how you can view them through that window.
Whoops I just looked at these cancerous comments.
Fuck Cleveland
+Aussieduderivs1 Fuck bogans
Morgan Glover so much cancer.
Is it so bad down there? What times are We living in? I'm kind of a scared of reading comments under YT video...
Morgan Glover agreed man. its pretty sad how most gamers are these days. turning into ass hat critics and talking nothing but shit. its sad
I haven't been this excited for a video game in many, many moons
While it has been many many solar systems as well.
this might not be the best place to say this but those krogen might still have the genophage because they leave before mass effect 3.
They do.
which begs the question... why take a 99% sterile race on a colonization mission?
bernie muro wasn't that cured in 2? or am I mashing my memory together?
It's discussed in 2 (in Mordins loyalty mission, for example), but the situation is ultimately resolved one way or the other in 3.
Saren didn't find a cure. His solution was to clone Krogan instead of breeding them. Kind of like what Okeer did to make Grunt. And since all of Saren's equipment and data got nuked there's no way any of it survived.
I've never been so excited for a Mass Effect game... oh wait Garrus isn't in it? Never mind...
I think Garrus died in my play throughs :(
Worse, he is dead in this timeline - as is nearly everyone we knew with the exception of long lived Krogan and Asari. I want the old MEU back, not this Galactic Invasion stuff with a cannonless mako.
Witherleader you're the worst
well at least the cannonless mako handles better
Witherleader awww no!
I still dont understand how the "locals" are that of Milky Way. Like does Andromeda have no settlements of its own intelligent life? They all just arrived there together, how do they have time to establish a settlement and form their own agendas and we have to convince them to help? Theyre all part of the same mission.
And why cant they just wake up everybody? Whats the point of losing out on manpower?
Dan C Thats what Im tryna figure out the most, I thought they arrived there recently together, like they on the same mission, why do they already have established settlements with different agendas and you somehow have to appeal to them.
@Chrisnavox Food. Commodity. It the same as you ask " why don't draft everyone into military then go to invade other country?" Manpower require logistic to have an impact. The Arc Hyperion/Nexus doesn't have limitless power.
nguyen ba giap I get that but I was under the impression they fitted their ship with all the resources able to sustain their whole population, you csnt send a surplus of population and say "we'll build the rest of the ship when we get there".
Yeah, the "resources" were the cryo sleep pods.
I never played Dragon Age: Inquisition but there seems to be a lot people comparing it to ME:A, so I decided to take a look into the games review in 2014;
2014 Game of the Year
2014 Best Role Playing Game
www.metacritic.com/game/pc/dragon-age-inquisition/critic-reviews
Metacritic Score (PC): 85 (based on 45 professional critic scores)
Majority of reviews were positive scores between 80 - 100 (40 reviews)
The remaining 6 reviews scored between 59 - 70. (5 reviews)
Metacritic Score (PS4): 89 (based on 43 professional critic scores)
Metacritic Score (XB1): 85 (based on 28 professional critic scores)
#1 Most Discussed PC Game of 2014
#2 Most Shared PC Game of 2014
So I'm going to take the comparisons between the two games as completely positive otherwise the people that are making these comparisons and suggesting that its negative either never played the game, they don't know what they're talking about or they just aren't gamers. or maybe they're just a combination of the 3.
All of the above. It's a great game, definitely not flawless, but people started bashing it after Witcher 3 came out and it's only got worse ever since. Let's hope these comparisons will end once Andromeda finally comes out.
It's sad how this new generation of gamers are picking "sides" or feel the need to protect their loyalty to a specific platform or developer. I started in the days of Atari and I play all platforms and I support all developers. The Witcher 3 was a master piece and I've played through it twice but I never compare it to any other game. If anything I hope other game developers take notice regarding how CD Projekt Red took their time during development.
We can also use Horizon: Zero Dawn as an example. The game runs flawlessly on PS4 Pro at 4K because they took the time to optimize it. We should celebrate games and enjoy playing them, not compare them just to tear down another developer.
I'm afraid optimism is pretty much non-existent nowadays. People can't just enjoy things, they will keep nitpicking to satisfy their need to express negativity and other people jump on this train. There is no constructive criticism in the comments under videos about Andromeda and therefore a pile of toxic waste is created. Just look at Zelda, it has so many perfect scores and people say that Nintendo bought positive reviews...maybe the game is just damn fine? It's always good to give a developer benefit of the doubt, but it's going too far in almost every aspect. No Man's Sky previews were all outstanding and scripted in a way that the game seemed like a masterpiece and what happened when it finally launched? Disaster.
I completely agree on everything you've just said. Unfortunately its a sad reality. Video game/gaming is such an awesome medium and fun hobby which so many people enjoy that I wish these discussions weren't so toxic. But I guess that's why we have private gaming forums.
I have been watching the development and reviews for Zelda: BotW and I'm glad that Nintendo nailed it. I will be picking up the game this weekend but I will do so for the Wii U as I cannot justify buying a $400+ console for 1, maybe 2 games. I already own a gaming PC, a PS4 and a XB1 so most games that are released I already have a console to play it on. Plus buying Zelda: BotW for the Wii U helps me feel just slightly better for my terrible decision to buy a Wii U years ago. This will be the 4th and final game I'll own for the Wii U.
I was a huge supporter for No Man's Sky as their vision for the game fits me perfectly. Unfortunately they game in to the pressure and release a alpha, maybe even a beta build of the game well before it was finished. I still love how beautiful it looks and I believe that they can fix it in the future as they continue to develop for the game but they need A LOT more content.
BTW, how fucking awesome has March 2017 become for gaming?! With Horizon: Zero Dawn, Zelda: BotW, Nier: Automata and Mass Effect: Andromeda all dropping in the same month! It's hard enough to get 4 top quality AAA games in a single year let alone in the same month!
It sure is a great month! I'll have a lot of catching up to do after Andromeda :) Hopefully the rest of the year will be just as exciting! I'm glad I finally had a meaningful conversation on RUclips ;)
man... the amount of broken hopes that lie in this comment section hurts me.
Dragon Age Inquisition: IN SPAAAAACE
Tree Pethick they said the same thing about inquistion
As long as the combat is better than Inquisition's I'm fine with that.
That's what I thought when I saw the blue breach in the sky at 0:25! xD
well seeing as how i found inquisition good, i'm fine by that
yeah that's what it fucking looks like lol , characters are just as ugly as that game's too.
Not even going into the comments this time. Not a fucking chance.
Heartache There's actually some pretty good comments this time, it's not just toxic ME hating for once. I was pretty surprised.
Agentcoolguy1 For real? You're not just pulling my leg?
Alright, I'll trust you on this.
He fooled you.
What's the matter, can't stand to see opposing view points?
No there's just a lot of cancer spreading around everywhere.
these videos have destroyed any doubt i had about this game
small yet amazing things i noticed while watching this trailer:
1. the amazing music in the background
2. how legendary the pathfinder is going to be
3. how kind scott ryder sounded
and 4. what a big adventure this is going to be
After the IGN gameplay mission video I was worried but now I'm a little bit more hopeful.
Hystero Oh, hey Mark.
I was about to say that.
I sensed a really strong Inquisition vibe with the outpost mechanic. I hope It doesn't end up being repetitive.
Establishing camps did almost nothing in DAI, at least in ME it seems it will help unlock more content. In DAI it was just a fast travel + cheap restock point.
CreativeUsernameEh Indeed, I hope It does more than It did on DA:I
I hope the world isn't as completely empty and devoid of purpose and point as DA:I. I hope the combat isn't just wail on this guy for 2 minutes because he's a bullet sponge like DA:I, I hope the story isn't as insultingly stupid as DA:I and isn't simply the result of everyone acting like a complete moron like DA:I. What am I saying, it will be all those things because this is new Bioware and not the old Bioware that made Mass Effect 1.
Ok i gotta say this got my attention.
WTF a Krogan Merchant? Their only trade is bashing heads in!
Unnamed Shadow he could be a weapons dealer. I could see that.
You didnt go to tuchanka in ME2 right? Because there was several merchants and a medic.
Well this explanation of exploration has me more exited than the combat. This is more than what I was expecting. Very excited.
I have said it at the previous videos too, but i say it again.
THIS IS AMAZING!
I want cities. So far all I've seen is large barren worlds. I want metropolis' akin to Illium and Bekenstein.
BlazerManiacNumber96 1:02
Or 0:19
00:20
That's a city
If I recall, Illium was 3 corridors and a bar, Berkenstein: 3 corridors and a party ;-)
How are they supposed to build a metropolis so fast?
"Over 100 planets to discover, and a hand full of these beautifully crafted planets for u to land on" that doesn't sound sketchy.
just can't wait to play it.
same here
"Allying yourself with the locals" A human shows up.
w... wha..?
What's confusing? This is a multi-species initiative.
Malcolm Swoboda he means how the hell those humans got there when your arc is the first one
Your arc is actually not the first one. We already know this. There's even a book coming out that deals with that exact fact. The ark you're on somehow got "lost" or whatever and is over a year late to the party (though they potentially don't know that yet? Not sure). And even before that the Nexus was already there for a few months/years. It's pretty much clarified already, so everything is ok ;)
Celio Hogane Not all the human land at the same time :) Be clever dude
Tony Ye - so there are multiple arks of the same species?
i thought there was only 20,000 of the same race only within each individual ark
another human being there would mean 2nd human ark then
RIP every other game in existence 😎
I don't think this SJW game will kill Zelda BotW just saying.
Hmmmm I hope that was a joke.
no, the joke here are the Mass Effect's Developers
exactly even Witcher 3 is great compared to SJW Andromeda
Oh can the SJW/Anti-SJW people shut the fuck up. It's just going to be DAI in space nothing amazing nothing terrible just an interesting story interspaced between massive empty map exploration with a possibly good multiplayer filled with lootboxes.
So hyped for the vaults! 😊
this is gonna b my GOTY ...... can't wait to play this ( March 16th early access )
No. It's not.
Guys. He said HIS GOTY. Y'all not know how to read or just trying to tell him how to think?
Tristan K it seems that you don't understand my point so idgaf about whasoever bs againts me ..... i have a brain and i use it correctly and i know what i see and read .... nuff said
Are you insulting the guy that just defended you orrr
Pete Banger mayb i don't understand what he just said ...... it happens sometimes with me bcuz, i'm losing my english comprehension ..... or i'm just dumb for not being able to read correctly ...... anyway, i don't really like to defend myself againts strangers ..... i'm kind of lost all time
Love the preview so far I ain't gonna listen to all the negativity about this game, I still believe in you bioware
My body is ready!
Who you going to romance?
Not sure, i dont want to know to much about the mates not to spoil
anything but Vetra seems cool in her design and all :) Im going in as
Male Ryder on my first run :) You?
Im debating between cora and peebee !
Yeah, its hard to say tho, it will all come down to personality :)
Vetraaaaaa!!!
I'm actually very pleasantly surprised with this game. I'm absolutely loving it, and I was about ready to cancel my pre order after watching all the pre-release doom and gloom vids. I can't believe how much they have cleaned up the graphics since the week before release... there are still crazy eyes everywhere, but the worlds are gorgeous and the conversations are much more engaging than I expected from the spoiler vids.
I'm generally pretty leery of EA games these days, but I'd definitely say if you're unsure, give this one a shot.
Yea i'm having a blast,there's a lot to do in this game and the worlds are damn beautiful,fuck the haters.
Don't fuck this one up Bioware.
Don't be a Bioware fanboy, blanket.
blanket cocoon
You calm down.
Because believe it or not: Bioware has Humans in it, Humans often fuck up.
?
Bikkyy Chaudhry As a Bioware fangirl, I feel the same. Exitement and fear. I am threatening and cheering.
I don't think they will, at least that's what I'm hoping for.
"A handful of beautifully crafted worlds can be landed on" ...So... five planets can be landed on? or a handful as in, I have a bigass hand and can grab quite a few? Hm.
Francisco Cid Assume the number of habitable worlds in the Heleus cluster. Around 7, I think.
Not including moons, ships, stations or whatever else.
Well he said over 100 planets you can explore so I can only imagine a dozen means like 12 or so fully featured story size planets, then probably lots of ones available for scanning/looking at like ME2 and ME3.
This looks like an amazing game! But there is just one sentence that scares me, "In Andromeda there are over 100 planets to discover and a handful of beautifully crafted worlds to be landed on." How many does he consider a handful?! Although the exploration looks massive, I hope it isn't an illusion with the reality of invisible walls all over the place.
Some questions: I would like answered, How many worlds can we explore?
Would it be possible to get an idea of how big the map and are all the worlds maps the same in size?
Can we conquer planets if we decide to be a bad guy?
Is there a variety of quests dealing with other factions to like us so we can put up outposts or is it a wash rinse repeat scenario?
Of course I doubt I will get an answer here but if any know or if others have the same questions... speak up!!
wastingsanity find out next time on dragon ball Z
You'll just have to wait and see :)
wastingsanity well we know for a fact there are 7 golden world's so I imagine we can land on them and I'm guessing maybe 2 or 3 more unmentioned planets but that's just guessing
I imagine only worlds that are deemed potentially capable of housing Humanity and the other races will be "fully" explorable, with other worlds having smaller but more structured player spaces.
I'd rather have a smaller amount of explore-able planets that are higher quality rather than the opposite. I really don't want Skyrim in space.
As a Mass Effect die hard, I seriously don't understand the complaints. Heavy focus on exploration? Check. Beautiful visuals? Check. Great gameplay? Check. Relationships? Check.
If the story is half as strong as the original, this is an easy contender for GOTY.
Never clicked on a video so fast in my life 😂
Why are people saying "I hope it's not like Inquisition."? I thought inquisition got GREAT reviews? I'm confused where the sudden hate for Bioware is coming from? Like really confused
tay x it was a good game but had some big flaws
Inquisition was a single player game that played like any average MMO and not at all like previous quality Dragon Age
At first, yes. But after a few month or so when the hype died down people started to see the flaws in the gameplay, story, etc and started pointing them out.
Well, we hope it's not like Inquisition because we already have Inquisition lol. Why would we want a brand new game with the same aspects of a game we already have?
it's the internet, where one person equates it to something, then everyone else mimics it as if they just figured out a big clue for themselves
Hey. Stop. Don't scroll down. It's absolute worst of the youtube comments... You're thinking about it... STOP. DONT DO IT...
See.. I told you not to do it. Now you are frustrated, that the game you are looking forward to, is being hated, blatantly.
IndianTelephone iam more furstrated with the poor design choices I'm seeing
Just stop... Silencing people with legitimate concerns will only make them hate it more, like I am right now.
Having played and adored the ME trilogy, I have been loving what has been shown to us in MEA. Is it so bad to accept changes? Especially, when all you have had yet are prepared video bites of a huge game? I will agree to your criticism, after I play the game and find out you are right, but for now, I don't believe any of the hate posts I have seen so far.
IndianTelephone I'm frustrated that there isn't more hate! >:(
IndianTelephone go and watch the 17 minutes gameplay video released two days ago and come back and say that again. I guarantee you will change your mind VERY quickly.
I frickin love the Mass Effect series. And this just takes it to a whole different level. I just hope it doesn't end up like No Man's Sky.
looking at 0:40, the Heleus Cluster is not a natural formation. Worlds are to evenly spread out, colors in the arms of the Cluster are unnatural, and the energy vortex in the middle is what is holding this Cluster together. I bet the Vaults are some link to Remnent tech that built this Cluster long ago. Vaults are points for when the Cluster was first built. It also might be that this Cluster has no rotation and is stationary. we shall see.
Drivertilldeath i was thinking about a fabricated universe as well. this is kinda giving a borderlands vibe with the whole vault hunter mechanic
Drivertilldeath I assumed a massive Remnant fortress was at the centre.
I'm probably wrong but that'd be cool as shit.
+chaseinyourface87
Fabricated galaxy*
Universe is too big.
Thats just a map dude, not an actual view of the cluster.
Drivertilldeath dude, all the litter point is a system, not planet, so it's normal, ok? And the colors are normal, it's just a litter bit special
Been refreshing this for an hour, holy fuck.
Mass Effect: Inquisition
I hope not. DA:I sucked.
I'm sorry, most people who already played ME:A called it ,,Inquisition in space'' :(
Why does everyone hate Inquisition so much??? It was no Witcher, but it was def the best game of the series.
fort stations = camps from inquisition lol
Bo SA it was one of best rpg ever for me
I love the Mass Effect series so much that even when adding white chocolate, strawberry cake and an assorted selection of milk based beverages to the mix, Mass Effect would still be top 5! That said, I'm not pre-ordering, as I fear it's not going to be totally brilliant, though it seems pretty sure that it's going to be damn nice. Damn nice I can live with, even if "totally brilliant" would be much preferable.
I feel like this has become what movies have become. When people watch so many movies, then come to feel the need to critique it critically. Now that's the same with video games and it's sad. Why can't you guys give it a chance? I know No Mans sky was disappointing but that's no reason to judge every space game that has the same ideas because it's not going to be the same game.
They don't. You have the CHOICE to buy it, and if you buy it and it turns out bad, then they don't treat you like an idiot... you are an idiot. Take some personal responsibility. I regret buying No Mans Sky, but I'm still gonna preorder Mass Effect. That's my CHOICE. So if it's bad I have to live with it.
ME2 - Nice game, but...
ME3 - Dissapointment
SWTOR - Dissappointment
DA: Inquistion - Dissapointment
SWTOR "expansion" - Dissapointment
So, yeah, my hopes are pretty low right now with Bioware.
LadyDominion We will give it a chance, but we can still have our doubts.
Of course you can have doubts! I have my doubts as well. I see many flaws in Dragon Age Inquisition but for the most part I enjoyed what we got. I do agree the combat reminds me a tad of destiny in the last combat vid, but it might have just been the setting which looked like something you could find in Destiny.
cause the original writers of ME are all gone. And the ones who protested against the ME 3 Ending and the policy that time also are gone. Which means the original Crew of ME to ME 3 are not working anymore for Bioware. Which means this could turn out to be alot of Open World, Exploration and so on but lack hugely on the ME main Focus which always was great story telling and character design and character development.
I fear this will be the most overhyped game of 2017 and the ending mark for the ME Series.
I like ketchup on my steak
James Marah ew nasty
degenerate
You are dead to me.
James Marah redditor spotted
That is a sure fire way to ruin a good steak. If it's a shitty steak then it's a decent way to impart some flavour, but you should really be focusing on getting nicer steaks. Maybe a dry aged rump or rib-eye.
Am I the only one that's giving this game a chance without ripping its ass a new
You're part of the majority of people I'd say.
Glad the see the majority liking the video. I had regrets about pre-ordering the Super Deluxe Edition from the PS Store. Not anymore.
"uhhh watch out cancerous comments below"
ImperialMartin I found nothing but cancerous comments, including yours Cx
I scrolled through the Popular comments for five minutes and found like one negative one with 2 likes or smth like that.Why is mine cancerous ? I just stated that I couldn´t find many negative ones.
Outdoors in the desert at 39C is a heat hazard, but somehow a lava chamber isn't?
better life support system on a different hard suit?
Who else is excited more about the comments instead of the gameplay like i am?
Lets prepare ourselves for the paranoid ones over the so called sjw conspiracy.
Hold the line...
femtoservants enjoy the common sense and discussions while you can
Whatever happens we will hold the line
+femtoservants Way ahead of you. I'm popping corn.
4 years waiting for a new mass effect game have ended , thanks for a new Mass Effect.
i really like this game but im scared its too good to be true im scared its gonna be the next no mans sky
i really don't like how it looks so far, but i don't like to judge stuff based of this videos. But so far i saw 0 videos with ROLE PLAYING and STORY in a ROLE PLAYING GAME!.
they are featuring the features of the game week by week, i think the story, the want to keep in quiet to keep the wonder of exploration alive, remember this is not gonna be a deep story like the trilogy, this is more about exploration and discovery, there's going to be a story just not as deep as the trilogy. In this video he mentioned that you have to interact with the people settling the planets so you can build on them and get perks, that's the RPG element.
I love No Man's Sky so a game like that with EA's budget would be amazing.
Fadhil The Old Gen PC Gamer have you played the first 3? that should answer your question
That's mostly because they don't want to spoil too much of the story before release.
Can we explore Uranus ?
dafuq are humans and krogan doing here already. i thought the arks brought a
ll the races at the same time and andromeda was basically undisvovered by the citadel races
im lost as fuck
because the reapers inhabit the milky way
Chill Bill but Shepard destroyed the reapers
It's in our nature we want to explore. If I had the choice to go on a one way trip to somewhere in Andromeda or somewhere just in our Galaxy I would choose Andromeda.And obviously use some logic bro it's clearly so the writers could find a way to fit in a new mass effect game without the reapers being a problem.
Kris A that ending isnt canon I believe, why do you think their moving to andromeda
You can already see the sick FPS drops even in the preview x)
PC with an enhanced graphics mod on a 4K display; that's the way to go.
People on PS4 Pros are lucky sumbitches too.
Kronos PS4 Pro won't run at native 4k though. Probably 1440p or 2160 checkerboard.
Nathan Break better than 1080p tho so good for them
Kronos I'm happy with my standard ps4...
Arutzuki As you should be.
There are kids in Africa who'd kill to get some water.
I know I'm getting picky, but I wish the Tempest didn't look so much like the Normandy.
It makes sense, since it is supposed to have been built more or less at the same time. Also, the interior is quite different
All the ships looks the same dude. Even Tali flotilla was like Shepard normandy
They're actually quite distinct if you look them side by side. Sure, they have some similarities, but nothing too obvious.
Syanna Uh...how? The Normandy looks *nothing* like a flotilla ship. A lot of ships in Mass Effect have different styles and are relatively easy to tell apart. An Asari cruiser looks nothing like an Alliance or Turian ship for example.
I actually like that it's more of a "human design" with the CO at the head of the ship. It's very much indicative of humanity's influence in the Ai
4:40 "this is unbelievable!"
No, that's just a triangle.
I laughed at this, even if it's buried and forgotten under a mountain of comments.
Wow. Planets existing for reasons other than to host my battles. Didn't expect exploration video to be the one that hyped me up the most. Cannot wait!
Finished the game yesterday, loved it. Shame the bad start and haters ruined everything.
It’s underrated, I enjoyed it 😊
So wait, how are the Milky Way species living on an Andromdan planet?
I thought these guys were the first to leave the galaxy....
4 arks with the council races on each, and the nexus with a random assortment of other species/personnel. Krogan were likely on the Nexus.
Kronos Clearly not catch up with the game, are you?
Maybe they decide to take different paths and different planets to explore to each species, so you can encounter milky Way species. All are trying to get a new home and the planet that works for the Krogans, doesnt work for the humans, etc.
Kronos I think there were other programs with different species to go to andromeda. I think I saw it answered in another trailer before but I'm not too sure. it's the only logical explanation though
"handful of planets to be landed on"
Yes, he said handful... I'm starting to get worried now.
Diego Montesdeoca So you'd have a hundred random planets over 5-10 ones that are hand crafted?
That's not including moons, ships, space stations or whatever else.
Catman It's just a wording thing. Quality over quantity is what I meant.
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY.
The game world in total is bigger than all the mass effect games combined.
Just started Andromeda 5 years after launch, and am loving it. Exploration is really engrossing - although for me the Life Support consumables don’t work, which is a problem in a hostile environment (so, all of them!) Overall though, super fun. And the music is great.
It’s a lot of fun playing it in 2023 now 😊
I can smell the faint smell of the Inquisition =(
No that was me. Tacos for dinner yesterday. Actually, I blame Dr. Lexi. She let one out when Cora reset the gravity.
IGN brainfucked me, but I'm still getting it.
None of you seem to understand. He says that a handful of planets can be explored. A handful. Now, a planet's big. Bigger than me, and I can't even fit me in my hand, so I don't think I'd do much better with a planet. From this, it's clear this you can't actually explore any planets; just a really small patch of dirt. So, while everyone else is inspecting each grain of dirt, I'll be playing the only true spacefaring game: Asteroids. Feel free to join me when you wake up.
underrated post
very underrated post
Very very underrated post
This man speaks the truth.
This post.....underrated
Those environments are absolutely gorgeous! Just another one of the thousand reasons why I love Mass Effect!
Toxic comments incoming in 3, 2, 1...
someposter you seem super knowledgeable on a game that has yet to come out.
And here, people, is a prime example of such a comment. Pure bitching and hatred with zero constructive criticism.
Some people don't like the things you like. Doesn't mean they're "toxic".
little fuckheads just need to play the fucking game (like theyre going to anyways) and enjoy it. I can't believe how critical people are. Bioware literally spends years, however much money and assets and creativity to make a game to be enjoyed, and fat fucks in their parents basement knit pick and bitch about little fucking bullshit lol
someposter When you have no life....
...is no one going to talk about that comet called jarovbees in 0:46 because...jar..of..bees..seriously bioware?
Haha, good catch.
All we need now is a solar system named ''vheelovcheez'' and we're golden......
Nearlyhoney, it's just bees in a jar.
This looks pretty good, but I'm concerned about how many planets can you land on. How much is "a handful of planets"? I would prefer smaller but more diverse areas, than for example 3 huge planets that look samey. Well, as long as the quests are interesting, I'm on board.
megaszx08 Expect a similar number to the number of "habitat" planets in the Heleus cluster. So like seven *at least*.
That's great news! Thanks for clarifying!
megaszx08 he actually said over 100 planets
I'm talking about planets you can actually land on, which he said handful.
Well, in ME3 a handful of soldiers is 2...
This is something a Star Wars game should be, exploration, Jodi sith fights, wars, space battles. What can be put in is endless. I am waiting for such a star wars.
IAM THROWING MY MONEY TO THE SCREEN BUT IT'S NOT WORKINGG!!!
I AM THROWING MY MONEY TO THE SCREEN TO MAKE THESE BORING REPETITIVE COMMENTS DISAPPEAR BUT IT'S NOT WORKING!!!!
You'll be screaming like a little bitch trying to get your money back after you play several hours.
XDDD
Damien Scott Are you some kind of psychic or something??
Damien Scott cynical kids lol
I'm getting that Dragon Age fetch quest vibe
God Well it's new Bioware
I'm starting to get worried because it looks and sounds like space Inquisition. I hope they aren't too similar
Inquisition was a great game so i have no fucking clue why you are bitching, yes it did have a few flaws but every damn game has them
blackvial "few flaws"
blackvial finally someone with brain cell, thank you and yes I agree inquisition was a great game
I love inquisition. Its one of my favorite games. I never said I hated it or had a problem with it. I have a problem with bioware recreating the same game over and over again.
blackvial the only thing you did in Inquistion was go to the far right of the map, get something, go to the far left, fight 4 people, and then have a meaningless conversation with someone
4:20 When that music kicked it, I knew this was MASS EFFECT. Really excited the more they show
It says a lot when I'm not excited for the next game in one of my favourite franchises. Looks like a typical "alliance builder" game with no interesting story (AKA DA:Inquisition) where you just run around and do favours for random groups of people in order to gain their favour. That's basically it, Dragon Age: Inquisition in space.
How did you not find Inquisition's story interesting? That world has some of the best written lore I've ever seen.
Because DA:I's story boils down to everyone acting like a bunch of idiots and the player being constantly foiled by a bad railroader of a writer who couldn't actually manage to foil the player by having the villain be powerful and clever, so they just used their power as a god writer to make the player lose simply because the writer says, "and now you lose in this scene for absolutely no reason."
"where you just run around and do favors for random groups of people in order to gain their favor.".....um,. so you mean every DA/ME ever made to this day? Because let me remove your rose tinted classes for once, thats what happen in DA:O, ME1, ME2, ME3, DA:I......its not a new concept for them.
Julian Ramirez does the presidium have any fish? where's my credit chit?
Those are random good samaritan quests. You can just ignore them outright.
How in the world did they get this game to run on console? It's damn massive.
Jason Clarence Welsh I think they are trying to make it look much bigger than it really is. Also, the game has low texture resolution so it doesn't require a lot of power to run it.
It is truly disheartening the amount of fan boys like +blanket cocoon that are so quick to throw insults at another because they are the ones who are shortsighted and narrow minded they take everything at face value and wonder why they were swindled in the first place... open your eyes.. :/
I admit, blanket cacoon is incredibly toxic. I report his comments whenever I see them. It's unacceptable to be so offensive. I love Mass Effect, it's my favourite franchise of all time, but the community is awful...
People just get mad when others say this is going to be the worst game ever when it hasn't been released yet
Raximous Prime lol "open your eyes" is a weak way to close a statement, it's one of those bows you put on an argument that needs more flare to seem viable.
super edgy. yes, everyone who disagrees with you needs to "open their eyes."
no.
I'm sold by this video. totally getting Andromeda now.
16 more days ugh! #MassEffect4Life
You can play it (first 10 hours or so + multiplayer) on the 16th if you have EA access xbox or origin access on PC. I think if you've got a ps4 you're shit outta luck. Gotta love ea gouging desperado ME fans like me.
Yeah Ewe Herd i dont have an xbox but will look to getting the pc account.
"Welcome to explore entirely new galaxy!"
Most of the encounters are with krogans, humans, asari, etc. Why did we even leave?
Reapers
Nanomachines son!
So this game will be exactly like Inquisition. Great, hated that game.
The hype is real, between this and Wildlands, I'm gonna have my hands full for awhile. 🤘🏻
