Damn, the difference between the real life model/actress,who was the ''template'' for female Ryder and the in game version of that character is insane! How did they fucked up so bad?
They did not. They changed it in a after release patch. So I assume either the rigging (animation) was broken and they had to change it, or the licence/art was revoked and they had to remove it.
TechyBen wrong. that story got proven false. im sure they didnt mean to fuck up animations. that was probably EA's fault. they pushed the game to release when it shouldnt be considered ready. However they did make the female characters less "sexist". because apparently only ugly women exist:) stupid SJW
Agreed. This seems to be an issue of trying to keep it humanoid because otherwise the Suits in charge think we cant 'sympathise' with the character. Total BS if you ask me. The new Beast of the Belle and the Beast live action movie is one of the most obvious victims of this treatment.
Robo Rat Yeah. It's sad. There are so many things you could do to innovate the design of Aliens. Heck, the series Rick and Morty is honestly one of the best scifi shows in a long time because they have a lot of good ideas when it comes to design, not only regarding Aliens.
I am a 68-year-old gamer and I love your show. You two are really funny, and thanks for the reviews they are great and spot on. I played the first 3 Mass Effect games and was really disappointed with Andromeda SAD!!! Thanks for the funny review.
Funny enough. The gaming industry didnt exist 68 years ago but it was existed in 40 years. So there only 1 thing comes to mind *YOU ARE FROM THE FUTURE?* Oh ancient gamer! Pls tell us what happen on year 2077? Did CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk finally released? Did TES IV was annouced? Did Fallout 76 finally completed? Pls tell us
ME1 was the best cause it was made by bioware only. Mass Effect 2 was with some EA assistance and it was dumbed down.In my opinion ME2 is weaker than ME1 the only good thing about it was the suicide mission and the squadmates. ME3 where EA completely took control that game was fucked up and not just for its ending but now when I played Andromeda I thought ME3 was not a bad game after all xD
15 playthroughs? Thats nice. I had 9 charactes in ME1,each of them was unique because of the sheer number of dialogues. In ME2 4 chars was enough to know everything in the game but I decided to go 6 hoping for ME3 different endings. Unfortuntely that was unneccesary cause 3 walkthroughs were enough to see that game is not great and the outcomes are the same. I pretend that the other 3 *Shepards died in the Suicide Mission....
im pretty sure we are getting the quarian ark in the next dlc. all tough you probabily right. Just like joe said 40milions are seriusly nothing compared to other games, and all of this is definetly EA fault. The spark that made me think about this (low budget) was the fact that the asari looked all the same, the only one different was infact peebee. Honestly i hope they learn from the errors they done with MEA and build a supreme MEA2. I still didin't finish MEA but im having my fun for the moment, the plot isn't great but its good its very similar to ME1's plot and untill we don't get the next games the plot is obviusly messy.
At this point its only Shephard who can save this. They fucked up the core of what ME truly is. Only credit people keep giving this game is its graphics and its combat. Both of which are completely irrelevant compared to what ME originally was.
I heard the door open to my office... It was delrith. Slowly, and seductively, he walked to my desk. I felt my heart race as he jumped into my desk and crawled towards me. Then he pulled me close and wispered softly into my ear: "I was on a planet, she got eaten by an autokill execution. She was dead. Peebee was dead, aaight? She wouldn't come back to life. And so I was running around she was still dead. Like we were doing cutscenes like across the planet and I couldn't bring her back I couldn't swap her out or anything..."
@@recjr7685 . This is true. One guy on their team got fired for controversial rants on Twitter that were making people boycott the game. Then as Joe said, there's no default White main character, wtf is up with that ? I'm White and it is a Rpg, I want to play as a White person to role play cause I don't identify as Asian or Black. Bioware better get it together. The Gears of war series tried being politically correct and it pissed off a lot of people. The Rainbow flags in online were totally unnecessary
@@cometmoon4485. Who said I was whining ? This is an Rpg game. Change the skin color ? That's groundbreaking in an RPG game ? It is only 2020 now. This game is in my backlog and I'm glad that the one guy got fired. I'm tired of these developers virtue signaling. No one gives a shit if you're gay or straight in Gears 5 online, so what is with the rainbow flags ? Bioware has been doing this shit lately in their games too.
You're a character in a game. Do you complain this much about playing as a British explorer with giant breasts? Or a blonde, intergalactic bounty hunter? Or a Spartan god-slayer? Or a cowboy in the wild west? How about an Italian plumber? Perhaps a Japanese martial artist? You're supposed to use your damned imagination! Oh, but it's an rpg... Well, at least you know what women, gays, black people, and every other minority has felt like always having to play as a white male. And you're complaining about ONE game...
MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA *CRACKED* BY CPY i shat you not! Pathetic EA, pathetic and useless DRM! I don't even wanna play this mess. I AM JUST HAPPY TO SEE THEM BURN! Boycott DRM!
Time to play ME2 suicide mission and get everyone killed, bioware are still developing ME3 and EA just announced a delay so finishing touches could be.... Oh wait, this is reality, Mass Effect 3 was terrible and Mass Effect: Feminism happened.
Ryan Is Mass Effect 3? Actually bad or are you still bandwagoning? I bought it and all the others except Andromeda recently with all DLC. I’m loving it but is 3 really too bad to play? Edit: I’ve played it recently and it IS NOT bad. It’s actually a GOOD game, people were salty because the decisions they make in 1 and 2 don’t have DRASTICALLY different endings in 3.
Geralt of Rivia It was never a "bandwagon", bioware stated and I quote "ME3 is the best place for new people to the franchise to start". If you'd played the original two, before they decided to fire the writer whos craftsmanship made those games exceptional, then the 3rd would have ruined it for you. If your one for a casual experience and want the game to play itself, enjoy a mediocre story with unlikeable characters then please, dive right in. But if you put story above "accessible to all" big budget nonsense, play the first two. One of the best gaming experiences of all time.
@@PittedGrape Del is like 90% of their livestream content. You almost never manage to catch Joe actually streaming, it's usually Del. They can't get rid of him unless they can find another guy willing to live being shackled in Joe's basement playing Fallout 76 for 200 hours.
Let's face it, the bioware that gave us masterpieces like DA origins, Balders gate, ME 1 and 2, jade empire, star wars, is no more, all of their great writers left and now they are just a money making machine for EA
This should be already common knowledge for anyone who has a clue about gaming. I can't believe how everyone still call them "Bioware". I guess their shills in the gaming media still push these past names to hide EA's destructive influence.
The "First Murder" side-mission set the tone of the game for me, as well as expectations for future missions. It showed a clear lack of attention to story telling. During their marketing campaign, Bioware was shamelessly bragging about having stepped away from the binary choice system, but in this mission they presented you with two choices, neither of which make sense in any realistic universe. Spoiler: A guy is charged with murder and labeled "first murderer in Andromeda". After investigation, it turns out that he actually attempted to murder someone, but the killing bullet wasn't his (damn kill-stealing kett). The choices you are presented with are to either sentence him as a murderer (exile) or release him as if he were innocent. What kind of bullshit logic is that? First of all, Ryder is nothing more than an over-glorified scout; how the hell is this his decision to make, and who assumed that he's got any right to make it? Where is the judicial system or council, or whatever they used on the citadel in the milky way? Where are the laws regarding this stuff? You've got tens of thousands of souls aboard the Nexus and no civil infrastructure/protocols prepared in advance? Second of all, why are there only two choices? This guy needs to be punished for attempted murder (in modern society this is typically a lesser offense than second-degree murder), not for first-degree murder - it can even be the same punishment considering the circumstances, but that distinction needs to be made. What about other choices? How about Ryder asking to have the guy released into his/her custody (since for some reason it's his/her choice anyways), and then decide what to do with him after that? For example, once in custody, Ryder could opt to just kill the guy in some back room, or make him into a janitor aboard his ship. I personally wouldn't pick those choices, but having them adds depth to an otherwise retarded dilemma that's a binary choice for no reason at all. The other Mass Effect games made you think. They presented you with choices that at times (despite being binary) were morally taxing and forced the player to go through some introspection or logical reasoning (with an extra layer added by perspectives of present companions). Even some missions that ended without a choice, left a small message as food for thought (for example, look up the mission "UNC: Rogue VI" for ME1 in wiki and check out the trivia section). This was, to many fans, the biggest attraction that made the mass effect universe memorable and a favorite. The writers behind ME4 threw that away due to either complete incompetence, or lack of respect for their subject matter - both are inexcusable.
Its a sad trend we are seeing with developers who think that because they have a big following they can dish out anything they like and people will lap it up, sad thing is alot of people do and that is why we get to this sort of situation where the 4th game of a series has taken leaps backwards. The biggest draw card to ME games has always been the story telling and to dumb it down to the extent it has been is a slap in the face to true fans of the game that have played every one. However if they do bring back that indepth story telling with this combat system and some tweaks to exploration they could have another game of the year next time out if they are willing to get back to putting the effort in to the story telling side of things.
I agree that several missions felt a bit unsatisfying. But overall I had a great time with MEA and especially the main story was really good. After the first 30 to 40 hours in, I realized that this wouldn't be as overwhelmingly epic as any game of the original trilogy. But it still is a great foundation for a new trilogy. With a new Team taking a new aproach to this universe. Because thats a crucual point here: This was not the same team that made the OT. And while I and probably everyone else wished, that the orginal Team would work on the new Trilogy, the reality simply is that they dont. And we have to be happy that we at least get another Mass Effect game and that it even is a decent one. Allthough it is published by EA.
That's a fair sentiment, and I would hold it too if not for an incalculable amount of storytelling mistakes that were made throughout the campaign. You appear to be of the opinion that (correct me if I'm wrong), since this is a new team, they should be excused for a certain margin of error while they break themselves into their role/responsibility (much like the original team did with ME1), and that to compare the quality of this game to that of the OT is to hold an unfair expectation. To an extent you are correct; the new team was under a lot of pressure to carry the torch and build a game that carried on the legacy, even though it's a new universe, and that's an unfair level of responsibility to meet. However, note that all of my complaints surrounding this game pertained to story and writing thereof. With your argument, plenty of bugs could be excused (and I do excuse them), but I simply can't agree with you when you say the story was good or that it laid a good foundation; there are too many mistakes there to be justified by "new leadership". Fairness aside, I'll compare MEA to ME1, since they're both entry-points to their own sagas, and even though ME1 was not under the strain of high expectation the way MEA is, it had 1/15 of its budget, so I'll be liberal and call it a draw. ME1 had a simple, but complete story. It had a clear antagonist whose character developed over the course of the story, a vast setting with clearly thought-out history and politics that the player can investigate, a combination of "person against the supernatural" and "person against society" conflicts, and a real conclusion which resolved every question, leaving no plot holes. It did leave on the note of "we need to prepare for the bigger danger", but there was no question of what that danger was, and there were no unresolved questions about the universe. MEA's story was a mess. 1) It had a 0-dimensional villain who had less personality than any of the kett met along the way (reading a bit of text written by some kett soldier was more entertaining than the archon) - the archon's motive was "i need to enslave and kill you all because i'm an asshole", and that's it. By comparison, Saren was a racist (Speciesist?), bigot, and a general pain in the ass, but he had a clear motive outside of "i wanna screw everyone over" - he acted in a way he thought would benefit the galaxy, despite his hate for humanity. Even then, his character changed and his perspective shifted to a different POV as the story progressed - I can't see anything resembling this in the Archon; he's a styrofoam block by comparison. 2) it had lot of mystery introduced that was never resolved in any sufficient manner or (at times) was left unaddressed. Hell, the very first problem that the player runs into (scourge) initially felt like a massive, oppressive phenomenon that would play a massive part in the lore/history of the galaxy, and later in the story it's lazily summed up as the result of "an ancient race done goofed". Lame and pathetic writing. Do you remember that moment in ME1 when Sheppard faced a holographic communication of Sovereign for the first time? I still remember the goosebumps, astonishment and shock I felt when Sovereign revealed himself to be sentient and a self-proclaimed god. There was not a single moment in MEA which left an impression on me that could even come close to that (please name one). Even the "shocking" moment in MEA, when *SPOILER* it was revealed that the kett are actually converted from Angara, was lame. I couldn't believe the lack of originality or thought that went into making this plot twist; it's literally the collectors and indoctrination all over again, and it was predictable as hell. Forgive me for expecting something new (we're in a new saga, aren't we?). 3) Unlike Sheppard, Ryder is a bad character, and that's not because he's got a rubber face. He's a bad character because he does not develop or mature. He started off as a smart-mouthed reckless adventure seeker, and he remained the same until the end. He did not develop because he didn't have to face any real adversity, nor did he have any real moral qualms about anything he had to do over the course of his adventures. His adversary (Archon) is a brick that needs to be smashed. His job (making habitable planets) boils down to running chores for boring people. Most of his dialogue with other characters ends up being masturbatory comedy that serves no purpose - Lexi: "how do you manage to not lose yourself?" Ryder: "I'm just... naturally awesome" Lexi: "get out". Overall, MEA fails in its storytelling on way too many fronts, but the biggest one is that it's not a complete story. Each game within the original trilogy was a self-contained plot with its own narrative structure. Each one was complete, while retaining that one strong thread which connects them all (reaper threat). By the end of ME1, the player says "wow, that was great, can't wait to see how we get prepared for the reapers" (nothing else). By the end of ME2, the player says "Holy crap, that was intense, and I can't wait for the full war". By the end of ME3... the player is confused and angry. In each of those cases (maybe ME3 is a slight exception), the player doesn't have any outstanding questions other than "how will our next fight against the reapers go?". In comparison, by the end, MEA has so many plot threads left untied that it can't be considered a complete game (more like half of one), and as a result the player is left with more questions at the end of the game than they had going into it. "What happened to Ryder's mother?", "Who built the remnant and what happened to them?", "Why is the origin of the Angara species what it is?", "How do we deal with the scourge before it consumes us all?", "What will we do about the Kett Empire?", "What does nude Vetra look like?", etc.
SPOILER- concerning murder mission Letting him go is as good as locking him up for a long time for attempted murder. (I let him go based upon evidence gathered) If you let him go , he admits to his wife the truth , that he intended to kill the guy but the Kett bullet is the one that actually killed the victim , the wife then leaves him based upon this knowledge. Everyone around him accuses him of murder still thinking he's guilty , otherwise making his life miserable. He then allegedly out of depression and sorrow , willingly puts himself in cryo in an attempt to let time pass and perhaps clear the air of negativity around him. More than a scout , The Pathfinder is a senior mission officer, an expert in survival, diplomacy, and combat.
not allegedly, you get to talk to him in the cryogenics part of the ship as he's getting ready to go under. Also, the fact that he's being put into cryo is not punishment - getting frozen to essentially time-travel to a comfortable future, while everyone else faces the hardships to make that future comfortable, is escapism. He gets to simply run away from responsibility and stigma that he himself stirred up, and wake up much later when everything has "blown over". Admitting the truth to his wife was the least he could do, and the fact that she left him is the least of the punishment he deserves; he deserves way more. He *is* guilty, just of a lesser crime. What you described (-diplomacy) is a skill set that a scout needs to have, or any other soldier for that matter. The point is that being a judge-jury-executioner is not a right or responsibility that someone in his position should have. Aside from the fact that it's a decision for which an entire branch of government should be responsible (a branch that for some odd reason doesn't seem to exist in the initiative), having ryder pass out a verdict speaks to his integrity as a story character. It simply further removes him from being a believable character by putting the pressure of the entire galaxy on his shoulders, and he just shrugs it off. Real characters/people (no matter how badass) crumble under pressure, or at least show signs of it being heavy - only robots carry it as if it's nothing, and ryder is proven to be just that. a good tell-tale sign of this is when the player wants to make a sensible decision that isn't available. Tann: "hey ryder, make this decision for me because i'm too lazy to oversee the Nexus' civics" Ryder: "beep-boop, orders acknowledged" (player: "I wish I could tell Tann to go fuck himself right now").
"I was on a planet she got hidden by an auto kill execution She Was Dead! Peebee was Dead! I was on a planet..."😂😂😂 I think this was AJ's subtle way of showing how the game felt.
Aniki Ignacio my god I damn near choked on my breakfast when other joe turned around with those eyes, that was one of the funniest things i've ever seen.
Omfg I'm 17 and I can't view this video. This is so fucking annoying I love rewatching Joe's videos, why can't the age restrictions be 16 or something.
The one guy repeats his explanation of his glitch about 3 times, and word for word, the first time he was cut off, the second time repeated word for word and described cut scene, then the third time repeats word for word and describes a squad of dracks, that's pretty crazy to repeat it word for word with the same inflection, seems like he's a robot, go look again, I though the video was repeating for a second
"I was on a planet she got eaten by an auto kill execution. She was dead. Peebee was dead. Okay? She wouldn't come back to life. And so I was running around she was still dead. Like we were doing cutscenes like across the planet cause I couldn't get her back I couldn't swap her out or anything..." - Delrith 2017
"I think I really pissed that one off! Maybe because I shot him in the face!" Wtf seriously that's the voice acting and lines?!?! I thought that was some guy on multiplayer!
Peebee was hit by an auto kill exexcution, she was dead, peebee was dead Peebee was hit by an auto kill exexcution, she was dead, peebee was dead Peebee was hit by an auto kill exexcution, she was dead, peebee was dead
You don't need to play a game from 2015, 2016 or 2017 onwards to know it's shit, the majority of video games lately have been shit. Look at Mafia 3 how broken that was, and then this, then you look at Battlefront and DOOM which have little to no content then IW is just boring as shit
MrZodiac011 maybe broaden your genres of games. Stop playing so many FPSs, they've pretty much always been repetitive, boring and shitty. When a new version comes out every year you know they didn't give a crap about making it good.
Mafia 3, Watch Dogs 2, Wildlands aren't FPS games. I play anything really and the only games that have been good in the last 2 years are Rise of the Tomb Raider, Watch Dogs 2 and Battlefield 1, Battlefront was good but had no content, the rest are just garbage
i think destiny budget wasn't 500 million for destiny 1 only microsoft gave them a 500 million contract for the sequels and the dlc's + the exlusives , so it's good share
call of duty mw 2 was 250 millions when 200 was marketing. Star wars the old republic was 200 mln only game production and this is most expensive game to date.
I thought so but he ends each sentence differently. He literally rehearsed his 4 sentences and joe kept interrupting it and he really wanted to give us the whole 4 sentences at once
Delrith is starting the same but actually, it's a sequence of events. Most likely started out like so, tried to go back to ship, still happened but now its Drack. Just to put an emphasis on the glitches really..
OMFG when other Joe turned around with those googly eyes I spit out my fucking coffee. This is the funniest shit I have seen. Thanks for the review Joe. I have been waiting patiently as I've been on the fence about this game.
Un-broken and victorious STARWARS KOTOR WAS A MASTERPIECE LMAO COMPARED TO THIS SHIT... THAT WAS OUT LIKE 15 YEARS AGO LMAO! JUST SHOWS HOW SJW'S FUCK UP GAMES....
Un-broken and victorious yeah i think it was an insult to Kotor 1 & 2. I grew up with that game it was the closest thing to being in a starwars universe! haha im playin it right now on xbox one. The NOSTALGIA!!! 😃😄
you forgetting joe that bioware is not the bioware we knew ... almost all got fired and replaced with the new garbage team and the facist team leader that created that game...
That doesnt excuse them though. Its the damn brand that counts not the team. People come and go, the brand stays. Its like buying kosher products doesnt matter which people make it you expect it to be "kosher". If its labeled kosher. Or buying a Ferrari but then the factory goes to Japan and they make a Honda with a Ferrari label. You dont say well its not the same people its Japanese who made it so I'll let this one slip through.
yea that comes from his tweet '' no human should be white'' or something like this .. i forget bullshits like this on purpose for the stability of my mental health.. shame..
That's good news cause those animations were creepy and weird. Like bad botox injections. Someone told them their dad died and they smiling like they just smoked some high grade with Snoop Dogg
NavyMicrobe Gaming You have to buy EA access, which is a surprisingly good service actually. You get all 3 for free essentially and you get some of the minor dlc's, you have to buy the rest.
problem with the voice acting is that EA won't deal with voice actors who are trying to get the same rights and protections as Screen Actors Guild of America (SAG)
ShaneO Radiosho What the fuck do you know about video games? Youre a car junkie normie. You are the type of people that only likes a game because of good looks. People like you dont look at a game thoroughly they just play it half blind and like it. New isnt always better, fucking accept it.
ShaneO Gollleeeee geeeeeooo man you are a mean rude individual aren't ya..... btw this game blows chunks compared to the first trilogy.... they better step up their shit.
They wanted to wait till September to release it, EA said no get it done ASAP. The game isn't bad, its pretty good. If you want to blame anyone blame EA
They don't have mass relays, so they are confined to one cluster in Andromeda for now. Humans thought they were alone, until they found the relay on Mars.
LOFTED GAMING Its only one cluster....Because there were no Mass Effect relays... So its not that weird in fact ... In the trilogy all races lived on way different clusters and only met because of the relays.... And no its not because of DLC because all DLC will be free.
Note: ALL the Asari except Peebee is the exact same (ugly) face! Peebe's face model was Shrek, to be sure, but ALL the other Asari have identical faces. The uniformly beautiful Asari of ME1, 2, & 3 are long gone in Andromeda. Only ugly Asari signed up to go to Andromeda... but the codex says there are no ugly Asari. The Andromeda writers and designers decided to throw the codex in the toilet and make plain ugly Asari.
it's all about the money. Look at the fucking Bulletstorm remake that is out now for disgusting 45 bucks. People adapt. And them devs seem to know they can make their living off of some stupid and / or rich people who will buy it just because of the name.
Yeah he's real good but noticed his ocarina of time the goron city like he's missing the pictures on the walls of the gorons, stuff like that i kinda miss.
Are you serius? I mean, Ocarina of time is a very basic game in which respects to today's game industry. You don't need to pay actors to voice, you don't need to put effort in animations, you don't need to put effort in cutscenes, and a lot of stuff which needs a lot of money to be called "AAA Game". And you can also see people saying "The witcher 3 was made by humble slaves meanwhile Mass Effect Andromeda was done with elitist developers", very very wrong. Witcher 3 costed $86 million to be done, a little more of the double than ME:A costed. So, if we have to blame someone here is EA, which is the one who puts the money to make this things happen.
+German Right, did you miss the part where I said that was being done by ONE person for FREE? Now add 250 other people and $40 million dollars, and hell yes I expect you to get the eyes right. Especially since ME3 didn't have this problem, and that was a two year development gap.
There are different teams on Bioware. The ones they made vanilla ME (1-2-3) is "Elmonton" and the ones who did andromeda were "Montreal". The devs were not the same.
Uhh... did something go wrong editing-wise for this video? I heard the same first half of the "she was permanently dead" story, like, three times in a row with different second halves.
Well BioWare's founders are no longer in the game. BioWare was a company that took traditional roleplaying games like dungeons and dragons and transferred that experience to the PC. It was always important that you felt like you were the main character and that you were immersed in the game. 20 years later, that mentality is lost on the current BioWare team. To me it seems like they just don't have that RPG background, whic h has resulted in BioWare's games slowly becoming more and more generic. Felt this way about Inquisition and felt this way about Andromeda.
Some people like Inquisition, some people didn't. If you check the various gaming forums you'll find a lot of people that hate it. Joe gave it a 9/10, with an 8/10 for the PC version. If you feel Inquisition was great, then awesome for you, you had a good experience with the game, but it was not unanimously praised. Metacritic (while not a great review site in general, but it's an outlet for opinions) only gives Inquisition a 5.9 based on user ratings, while the original Dragon Age Origins hold an 8.7.
91Metalhead And yet the critical score for Inquisition is 85. It really feels to me like there is this subset if Bioware fans who are hell bent on hating everything Bioware makes now, regardless of quality.
🤘 What NO ONE seems to be mentioning is that much of the development team were there because of diversity and not because of merit. I shit you not when I say that there was a twitter post from a woman who was hired by bioware a few years back, paraphrasing she said " I can't believe I just got hired by Bioware as an animator for their new project (Andromeda). I haven't animated in 4 years!". Now what good reason is it to hire someone like that unless they simply wanted to hire a woman (I don't recall her race, tbh)? There's tons of vids here on YT discussing exactly this problem at Bioware in much more detail. 🤘
Other Joe with the googly eyes looks like Judge Doom. *sees semi-reenactment of WFRR, with Other Joe as Judge Doom* "When I made you review those shitty games, I TALKED....JUST...LIKE...THIIIISSSSSS!!!!!!!!"
Assuming Bioware lasts long enough to make another DA before EA kills them. It seems they're already getting prepared to shut down, since their next game is just going to be an action game, and not even an RPG, according to Bioware themselves.
See, here's the thing, internet shitstorm or no - the game has sold well. We KNOW it has sold well because everyone and their grandma is posting footage of them actively cursing the screen as they play it :P The same can be said for DAI (often considered the weakest entry in the DA franchise) it had a HUGE fan backlash (that has been maintained TO THIS DAY) and it sold REALLY well. Same with ME3 with all its issues and problems and shall we discuss the story? We could go on for a while - bring up TOR which is STILL bringing in tons of money. Bioware is in no danger of 'collapsing' - losing some of the people who made it what it WAS? Sure... but that doesn't mean it's 'dead' - it just means they put out a middle-of-the-road triple-A title. It wouldn't be the first game they made that wasn't an out-of-the-park project - hell! Wouldn't even be the first lackluster SEQUEL they made that was ho-hum (DA2? DAA? Most of the Neverwinter Night expansions were crap IMO and that was PRE-EA arts) The world is not going to end - and Bioware is going to be around for years yet. Chill.
Other Joe had me laughing hard at that intro. That is a great point about why couldn't we choose our own race now ? Like have unique branching story dialogue as a result, it would have made the game even more in depth.
Yeah, every race could’ve had different qualities. Like how the Krogans value brute strength or how the Asari have the abilities to use the force and shit
>gives it a 6/10 and can see why ppl would consider this mess a 7 >admits he couldnt do most side quests cause he got bored to me that sounds like a 4/10 game. especially if we are talking this game that is supposedly highly story driven as it was for the original trilogy. 5 AT BEST. but not a 6-7/10 im sorry.
Altho the first trilogy had its flaws, they were a way better games than this mess andromeda is. I've played this game for about 30 hours and said to myself "no more". I simply cannot find anything interesting to grab on and keep playing. Everything (aside the combat system which is kinda cool and some scenery on planets, like the aurora borealis one) screams lazyness and boredom. It's like that they have put all their resources into the combat system and when they were done with it they went like "oh shit, now that we used all our budget what?!" and fucked up the rest of the game. Mass Effect games are supposed to be RPGs with fps elements in it. Not fps with minor rpg elements in it. Mass effect 3 obviously was going to be less rpg and more fps, there's an invasion going on and all there is left to do is basically fight the reapers, so i didn't mind it that much in that particular scenario, but i see where you're coming from. Here in andromeda you're supposedly a new colonist, the pathfinder. You're basically set to explore a whole new galaxy and what we get? 5 planets and 2 races (which one is hostile for the entire game). Fucking wow. This is dragon age inquisition in space basically. The writing was on the wall with that game (atleast for me, i hated that game... it felt like playing a single player mmorpg). Is it a terrible game? No. Is it good? FUCK NO. Is it mediocre at best? Fuck yes. They basically did a bit of everything with a mediocre stamp on it.
Davide Pannone Angry Joe is the sort of critic that gives the super mainstream games at least a 7 no matter the quality. I think that he does this for 2 reasons. To avoid backlash is one. He'd get a thrashing if he gave a popular game a lower score and expressed non mainstream opinions; all critics get some hate if they are critical of a popular game and/or franchise. And the other is he is biased to the games he gets the most enjoyment out of therefore only covering the positives of a game. The Witcher 3 is a great example of this; I like TW3 a lot but the game has some pretty serious issues when it comes to combat and control which Joe ignored because he's so blown away by the story and characters.
Well I'm sorry I disagree with you. I put over 100 hours in the game and loved it. At least you played it for awhile unlike a lot of sheep out there who hated on it and didn't even play it. So was a great game, yes. Too bad no SP DLC will be released though.
Larry 333200 I also played it for 100 hours but that doesn't mean it's good. The script is fucking AWFUL and the RPG turned into the fallout-4 style. The main plot elements are far less interesting than the Reaper invasion, and the new species aren't that interesting and we had to give up all the variety of the Milky Way for it. This game is a 5/10. It's a AAA game so it obviously has a lot of content and the mechanics are fun but the game has no talent.
Well if you played it and didn't like that doesn't bother me. My main point was that countless people hated on the game and never played it. And the script was bad in places but not f*cking awful through the whole game. And if you played the game for at least a 100 hours yourself, you must have enjoyed something about it or you wouldn't played that long I hope. Yes the Reaper invasion was more interesting, I never said it wasn't. To me the Angarans were a very likeable race, the Kett, not so much.
Ah, yes. The Synergy ending. Where biodiversity is thrown out the window, even though the entire series has been all about diversity being what makes us strong.
Synergy doesn't change diversity - humans are still human, and same for every other species. What it did was bond everyone, synthetics and organics, so that both groups can now understand each other.
@Honestly Brutal it is still good game but because issues you mentioned fo me it is at least 7/10 but personally i give it 8/10 .... and you know why no quarians ? because of shitty "fans" like f.e. @Gamehermit5050 ... quarians should come in dlc but "fans" shit on this good game so we dont have quarians and possibly no more mass effect games
I may be a "jaded" superfan of the Mass Effect series, but I am not buying this game at full price. I can't support the direction BioWare is going. I'll see after a few patches and updates if it's worth buying.
If you go with my opinion then you could get a worthy buy: Mass effect 1= 6/10 Mass effect 2=8.5/10 Mass effect 3=8/10 (ignoring the ending) Mass effect 4=6.5/10 or 7/10 (depending if you prefer a more skirim like game were the bulk of the game is in other things that does not revolves around the main story) Wait for it to go below 40 dollars.
have you played it ? .. dont think so by you judging xD i glady payed 80 euro's for the super deluxe edition... every game by company's now are multiplayer based and got not more then 10 hours of play time ... were this game has 80+ and amazing gameplay ... please get a job buy it play it on 4k and come back to me before judging a book by its cover. i love the fact people judge before trying it themself .. you should work for ISIS they do the same thing but they do 1 thing smarter and thats getting rid of themselfs for us..

"People like BioWare. They're up there with Blizzard." That didn't age well.
It's still true. Just in the jackassery kind of sense.
For Bioware and Blizzard.
Turns out when huge publishers buy out popular developers, they become utter garbage.

Welp.... Game's over.... nothing to see here.
Damn, the difference between the real life model/actress,who was the ''template'' for female Ryder and the in game version of that character is insane! How did they fucked up so bad?
The lead modeler is a SJW who had zero prior game design/development experience. Her only professional experience was as a cosplayer.
They did not. They changed it in a after release patch. So I assume either the rigging (animation) was broken and they had to change it, or the licence/art was revoked and they had to remove it.
Addison Wilson That story was debunked 2 weeks ago. Get facts right stop following.
TechyBen wrong. that story got proven false.
im sure they didnt mean to fuck up animations. that was probably EA's fault. they pushed the game to release when it shouldnt be considered ready. However they did make the female characters less "sexist". because apparently only ugly women exist:) stupid SJW
"Pre order"
I hate it how in so many Scifi-games and -movies the Aliens are just humans with weird heads.
Like in this day and age you could be so much more creative about the design.
Ben Schmie. The worst ones are the aliens from Guardians of the Galaxy. Many of them are just green, blue or purple people. ROTFL
I agree. Those aliens suck.
Agreed. This seems to be an issue of trying to keep it humanoid because otherwise the Suits in charge think we cant 'sympathise' with the character. Total BS if you ask me. The new Beast of the Belle and the Beast live action movie is one of the most obvious victims of this treatment.
Robo Rat Yeah. It's sad. There are so many things you could do to innovate the design of Aliens. Heck, the series Rick and Morty is honestly one of the best scifi shows in a long time because they have a lot of good ideas when it comes to design, not only regarding Aliens.
Almost 2 weeks later and the googly eyes still make me LOL on sight...

Yuuuup!
She was dead, Peebee was dead he said that three times with the same tone and delivery. Is he a robot?

For real, surprised no one mentioned it. Peebee died, I mean she was dead and wouldnt come back to life, about 3 times.
Either he has incredible control over the tone of his voice to make it sound identical, or it was an editing mistake on Joe's part.

1. Bioware is one of the best RPG creators
2. EA aquires Bioware
3. ...
4. RIP Bioware
ME1 was the best cause it was made by bioware only. Mass Effect 2 was with some EA assistance and it was dumbed down.In my opinion ME2 is weaker than ME1 the only good thing about it was the suicide mission and the squadmates. ME3 where EA completely took control that game was fucked up and not just for its ending but now when I played Andromeda I thought ME3 was not a bad game after all xD
15 playthroughs? Thats nice. I had 9 charactes in ME1,each of them was unique because of the sheer number of dialogues. In ME2 4 chars was enough to know everything in the game but I decided to go 6 hoping for ME3 different endings. Unfortuntely that was unneccesary cause 3 walkthroughs were enough to see that game is not great and the outcomes are the same. I pretend that the other 3 *Shepards died in the Suicide Mission....
guys we must pray EA not messing around with DA franchises

Me too a bit. DAI was pretty damn solid, plus Trespasser DLC especially. I'd hate to see the next DA be like the comparison of DAII after Origins.
DA2 was trash, DAI was trash really this is news for you?
Lebby Great what? It was awesome
DAI was solid? WUT? There is going to be another DA? Oh God... atleast I can still play my DA:O I guess.
Knight Templar why? the last two sucked dick so the bar is pretty low
MEA2 plot: Shepard appears and saves the game.
That's has to be why the Quarian Ark was postponed.
Or they had no budget to model Quarians, and QA, and Faunts and so on
im pretty sure we are getting the quarian ark in the next dlc. all tough you probabily right. Just like joe said 40milions are seriusly nothing compared to other games, and all of this is definetly EA fault. The spark that made me think about this (low budget) was the fact that the asari looked all the same, the only one different was infact peebee. Honestly i hope they learn from the errors they done with MEA and build a supreme MEA2. I still didin't finish MEA but im having my fun for the moment, the plot isn't great but its good its very similar to ME1's plot and untill we don't get the next games the plot is obviusly messy.
At this point its only Shephard who can save this. They fucked up the core of what ME truly is. Only credit people keep giving this game is its graphics and its combat. Both of which are completely irrelevant compared to what ME originally was.
We'll bang, Ok?
I heard the door open to my office... It was delrith. Slowly, and seductively, he walked to my desk. I felt my heart race as he jumped into my desk and crawled towards me. Then he pulled me close and wispered softly into my ear:
"I was on a planet, she got eaten by an autokill execution. She was dead. Peebee was dead, aaight? She wouldn't come back to life. And so I was running around she was still dead. Like we were doing cutscenes like across the planet and I couldn't bring her back I couldn't swap her out or anything..."
I came, not gonna lie.

They made the female characters faces purposefully unattractive because the bioware staff is mustly composed of SJWs now.
@@recjr7685 . This is true. One guy on their team got fired for controversial rants on Twitter that were making people boycott the game. Then as Joe said, there's no default White main character, wtf is up with that ? I'm White and it is a Rpg, I want to play as a White person to role play cause I don't identify as Asian or Black. Bioware better get it together. The Gears of war series tried being politically correct and it pissed off a lot of people. The Rainbow flags in online were totally unnecessary

You can change the skin colour of your character, quit whining.
@@cometmoon4485. Who said I was whining ? This is an Rpg game. Change the skin color ? That's groundbreaking in an RPG game ? It is only 2020 now. This game is in my backlog and I'm glad that the one guy got fired. I'm tired of these developers virtue signaling. No one gives a shit if you're gay or straight in Gears 5 online, so what is with the rainbow flags ? Bioware has been doing this shit lately in their games too.
You're a character in a game.
Do you complain this much about playing as a British explorer with giant breasts? Or a blonde, intergalactic bounty hunter? Or a Spartan god-slayer? Or a cowboy in the wild west? How about an Italian plumber? Perhaps a Japanese martial artist?
You're supposed to use your damned imagination! Oh, but it's an rpg... Well, at least you know what women, gays, black people, and every other minority has felt like always having to play as a white male.

Time to go replay Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC and hang out with a REAL crew.
indeed!
Time to play ME2 suicide mission and get everyone killed, bioware are still developing ME3 and EA just announced a delay so finishing touches could be.... Oh wait, this is reality, Mass Effect 3 was terrible and Mass Effect: Feminism happened.
Ryan Is Mass Effect 3? Actually bad or are you still bandwagoning? I bought it and all the others except Andromeda recently with all DLC. I’m loving it but is 3 really too bad to play?
Edit: I’ve played it recently and it IS NOT bad. It’s actually a GOOD game, people were salty because the decisions they make in 1 and 2 don’t have DRASTICALLY different endings in 3.
Geralt of Rivia It was never a "bandwagon", bioware stated and I quote "ME3 is the best place for new people to the franchise to start". If you'd played the original two, before they decided to fire the writer whos craftsmanship made those games exceptional, then the 3rd would have ruined it for you. If your one for a casual experience and want the game to play itself, enjoy a mediocre story with unlikeable characters then please, dive right in. But if you put story above "accessible to all" big budget nonsense, play the first two. One of the best gaming experiences of all time.

+TheEzco xD lost my shit.
Kakapac usually what happens when a company sells out
The "First Murder" side-mission set the tone of the game for me, as well as expectations for future missions. It showed a clear lack of attention to story telling. During their marketing campaign, Bioware was shamelessly bragging about having stepped away from the binary choice system, but in this mission they presented you with two choices, neither of which make sense in any realistic universe. Spoiler: A guy is charged with murder and labeled "first murderer in Andromeda". After investigation, it turns out that he actually attempted to murder someone, but the killing bullet wasn't his (damn kill-stealing kett). The choices you are presented with are to either sentence him as a murderer (exile) or release him as if he were innocent. What kind of bullshit logic is that? First of all, Ryder is nothing more than an over-glorified scout; how the hell is this his decision to make, and who assumed that he's got any right to make it? Where is the judicial system or council, or whatever they used on the citadel in the milky way? Where are the laws regarding this stuff? You've got tens of thousands of souls aboard the Nexus and no civil infrastructure/protocols prepared in advance? Second of all, why are there only two choices? This guy needs to be punished for attempted murder (in modern society this is typically a lesser offense than second-degree murder), not for first-degree murder - it can even be the same punishment considering the circumstances, but that distinction needs to be made. What about other choices? How about Ryder asking to have the guy released into his/her custody (since for some reason it's his/her choice anyways), and then decide what to do with him after that? For example, once in custody, Ryder could opt to just kill the guy in some back room, or make him into a janitor aboard his ship. I personally wouldn't pick those choices, but having them adds depth to an otherwise retarded dilemma that's a binary choice for no reason at all.
The other Mass Effect games made you think. They presented you with choices that at times (despite being binary) were morally taxing and forced the player to go through some introspection or logical reasoning (with an extra layer added by perspectives of present companions). Even some missions that ended without a choice, left a small message as food for thought (for example, look up the mission "UNC: Rogue VI" for ME1 in wiki and check out the trivia section). This was, to many fans, the biggest attraction that made the mass effect universe memorable and a favorite. The writers behind ME4 threw that away due to either complete incompetence, or lack of respect for their subject matter - both are inexcusable.
Its a sad trend we are seeing with developers who think that because they have a big following they can dish out anything they like and people will lap it up, sad thing is alot of people do and that is why we get to this sort of situation where the 4th game of a series has taken leaps backwards. The biggest draw card to ME games has always been the story telling and to dumb it down to the extent it has been is a slap in the face to true fans of the game that have played every one. However if they do bring back that indepth story telling with this combat system and some tweaks to exploration they could have another game of the year next time out if they are willing to get back to putting the effort in to the story telling side of things.
I agree that several missions felt a bit unsatisfying. But overall I had a great time with MEA and especially the main story was really good. After the first 30 to 40 hours in, I realized that this wouldn't be as overwhelmingly epic as any game of the original trilogy. But it still is a great foundation for a new trilogy. With a new Team taking a new aproach to this universe. Because thats a crucual point here: This was not the same team that made the OT. And while I and probably everyone else wished, that the orginal Team would work on the new Trilogy, the reality simply is that they dont. And we have to be happy that we at least get another Mass Effect game and that it even is a decent one. Allthough it is published by EA.
That's a fair sentiment, and I would hold it too if not for an incalculable amount of storytelling mistakes that were made throughout the campaign. You appear to be of the opinion that (correct me if I'm wrong), since this is a new team, they should be excused for a certain margin of error while they break themselves into their role/responsibility (much like the original team did with ME1), and that to compare the quality of this game to that of the OT is to hold an unfair expectation.
To an extent you are correct; the new team was under a lot of pressure to carry the torch and build a game that carried on the legacy, even though it's a new universe, and that's an unfair level of responsibility to meet.
However, note that all of my complaints surrounding this game pertained to story and writing thereof. With your argument, plenty of bugs could be excused (and I do excuse them), but I simply can't agree with you when you say the story was good or that it laid a good foundation; there are too many mistakes there to be justified by "new leadership". Fairness aside, I'll compare MEA to ME1, since they're both entry-points to their own sagas, and even though ME1 was not under the strain of high expectation the way MEA is, it had 1/15 of its budget, so I'll be liberal and call it a draw.
ME1 had a simple, but complete story. It had a clear antagonist whose character developed over the course of the story, a vast setting with clearly thought-out history and politics that the player can investigate, a combination of "person against the supernatural" and "person against society" conflicts, and a real conclusion which resolved every question, leaving no plot holes. It did leave on the note of "we need to prepare for the bigger danger", but there was no question of what that danger was, and there were no unresolved questions about the universe.
MEA's story was a mess.
1) It had a 0-dimensional villain who had less personality than any of the kett met along the way (reading a bit of text written by some kett soldier was more entertaining than the archon) - the archon's motive was "i need to enslave and kill you all because i'm an asshole", and that's it. By comparison, Saren was a racist (Speciesist?), bigot, and a general pain in the ass, but he had a clear motive outside of "i wanna screw everyone over" - he acted in a way he thought would benefit the galaxy, despite his hate for humanity. Even then, his character changed and his perspective shifted to a different POV as the story progressed - I can't see anything resembling this in the Archon; he's a styrofoam block by comparison.
2) it had lot of mystery introduced that was never resolved in any sufficient manner or (at times) was left unaddressed. Hell, the very first problem that the player runs into (scourge) initially felt like a massive, oppressive phenomenon that would play a massive part in the lore/history of the galaxy, and later in the story it's lazily summed up as the result of "an ancient race done goofed". Lame and pathetic writing. Do you remember that moment in ME1 when Sheppard faced a holographic communication of Sovereign for the first time? I still remember the goosebumps, astonishment and shock I felt when Sovereign revealed himself to be sentient and a self-proclaimed god. There was not a single moment in MEA which left an impression on me that could even come close to that (please name one). Even the "shocking" moment in MEA, when *SPOILER* it was revealed that the kett are actually converted from Angara, was lame. I couldn't believe the lack of originality or thought that went into making this plot twist; it's literally the collectors and indoctrination all over again, and it was predictable as hell. Forgive me for expecting something new (we're in a new saga, aren't we?).
3) Unlike Sheppard, Ryder is a bad character, and that's not because he's got a rubber face. He's a bad character because he does not develop or mature. He started off as a smart-mouthed reckless adventure seeker, and he remained the same until the end. He did not develop because he didn't have to face any real adversity, nor did he have any real moral qualms about anything he had to do over the course of his adventures. His adversary (Archon) is a brick that needs to be smashed. His job (making habitable planets) boils down to running chores for boring people. Most of his dialogue with other characters ends up being masturbatory comedy that serves no purpose - Lexi: "how do you manage to not lose yourself?" Ryder: "I'm just... naturally awesome" Lexi: "get out".
Overall, MEA fails in its storytelling on way too many fronts, but the biggest one is that it's not a complete story. Each game within the original trilogy was a self-contained plot with its own narrative structure. Each one was complete, while retaining that one strong thread which connects them all (reaper threat). By the end of ME1, the player says "wow, that was great, can't wait to see how we get prepared for the reapers" (nothing else). By the end of ME2, the player says "Holy crap, that was intense, and I can't wait for the full war". By the end of ME3... the player is confused and angry. In each of those cases (maybe ME3 is a slight exception), the player doesn't have any outstanding questions other than "how will our next fight against the reapers go?". In comparison, by the end, MEA has so many plot threads left untied that it can't be considered a complete game (more like half of one), and as a result the player is left with more questions at the end of the game than they had going into it. "What happened to Ryder's mother?", "Who built the remnant and what happened to them?", "Why is the origin of the Angara species what it is?", "How do we deal with the scourge before it consumes us all?", "What will we do about the Kett Empire?", "What does nude Vetra look like?", etc.
SPOILER- concerning murder mission
Letting him go is as good as locking him up for a long time for attempted murder. (I let him go based upon evidence gathered)
If you let him go , he admits to his wife the truth , that he intended to kill the guy but the Kett bullet is the one that actually killed the victim , the wife then leaves him based upon this knowledge.
Everyone around him accuses him of murder still thinking he's guilty , otherwise making his life miserable.
He then allegedly out of depression and sorrow , willingly puts himself in cryo in an attempt to let time pass and perhaps clear the air of negativity around him.
More than a scout , The Pathfinder is a senior mission officer, an expert in survival, diplomacy, and combat.
not allegedly, you get to talk to him in the cryogenics part of the ship as he's getting ready to go under. Also, the fact that he's being put into cryo is not punishment - getting frozen to essentially time-travel to a comfortable future, while everyone else faces the hardships to make that future comfortable, is escapism. He gets to simply run away from responsibility and stigma that he himself stirred up, and wake up much later when everything has "blown over". Admitting the truth to his wife was the least he could do, and the fact that she left him is the least of the punishment he deserves; he deserves way more. He *is* guilty, just of a lesser crime.
What you described (-diplomacy) is a skill set that a scout needs to have, or any other soldier for that matter. The point is that being a judge-jury-executioner is not a right or responsibility that someone in his position should have. Aside from the fact that it's a decision for which an entire branch of government should be responsible (a branch that for some odd reason doesn't seem to exist in the initiative), having ryder pass out a verdict speaks to his integrity as a story character. It simply further removes him from being a believable character by putting the pressure of the entire galaxy on his shoulders, and he just shrugs it off. Real characters/people (no matter how badass) crumble under pressure, or at least show signs of it being heavy - only robots carry it as if it's nothing, and ryder is proven to be just that. a good tell-tale sign of this is when the player wants to make a sensible decision that isn't available. Tann: "hey ryder, make this decision for me because i'm too lazy to oversee the Nexus' civics" Ryder: "beep-boop, orders acknowledged" (player: "I wish I could tell Tann to go fuck himself right now").
When they laugh after him saying “maybe cause I shot him in the face” had me crying
"I was on a planet she got hidden by an auto kill execution She Was Dead! Peebee was Dead! I was on a planet..."😂😂😂 I think this was AJ's subtle way of showing how the game felt.
BriskReveals
Maybe a doctor strange reference..?
😂
Other Joe always going extra for laughs lmao 🤙🏽
Aniki Ignacio my god I damn near choked on my breakfast when other joe turned around with those eyes, that was one of the funniest things i've ever seen.
If only it wasn't spoiled in the thumbnail
theelectricindian That shit made me laugh so fucking hard!
Mass googly effect
11:38 is it just me or did Del just bug out and repeat everything three times.
A Very Disappointed Red Engineer yeh wtf?
A Very Disappointed Red Engineer del.exe is not responding
A Very Disappointed Red Engineer is like Del got a glitch in his DNA. lol
I think they did it on purpose!
he played this glitchy mess for like 60 hours...who wouldn't be glitchy IRL?
I still watch this even in December 2019 just to see other Joe do the googly eye thing lmao
Yup, same!
Good times ✌
Kill. Me. Now.
Couldn't have said it better myself, friend.
😂😂😂
"I'll relinquish one bullet. Where do you want it?"
That single fucking Shepard line is better than this whole game.
good times those were maybe one day we will get ME1 and ME2 remastered since we need it
We'll bang, okey?

"You won't look so smug with a hole in your head"

got age restricted because of bullying and harrassment
james channel more like his parents got age restricted on *LIFE*
Omfg I'm 17 and I can't view this video. This is so fucking annoying I love rewatching Joe's videos, why can't the age restrictions be 16 or something.
What the hell, where did the bullying and harassment come into this?
You guys put your real age on here when you are under age? Da fuck whhyyy?
I don't understand why this video got a restriction. It doesn't show any nudity.
The one guy repeats his explanation of his glitch about 3 times, and word for word, the first time he was cut off, the second time repeated word for word and described cut scene, then the third time repeats word for word and describes a squad of dracks, that's pretty crazy to repeat it word for word with the same inflection, seems like he's a robot, go look again, I though the video was repeating for a second
It's obviously an editing mistake.
He glitched talking about the glitch
That's a Bug! I guess Joe did that on purpose to fuck with the YT audience, but it seems like nobody got the joke.
"I was on a planet she got eaten by an auto kill execution. She was dead. Peebee was dead. Okay? She wouldn't come back to life. And so I was running around she was still dead. Like we were doing cutscenes like across the planet cause I couldn't get her back I couldn't swap her out or anything..." - Delrith 2017
bro i thought i was high he said that like 4 times
looooooooooooooooooooooolooooooooooooooooooooooooooolooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
hahahahahaha
She didnt die she just got stuck
Del sounded like he was traumatized. Maybe Peebee was his Ryder's love interest?
Humans look more like aliens than....aliens lol
Aliens look better
Lol
Agreed.
"I think I really pissed that one off! Maybe because I shot him in the face!"
Wtf seriously that's the voice acting and lines?!?! I thought that was some guy on multiplayer!
"Because I shot him in the FUCKING face". And that's exactly what he wanted to say.
Simple Quirky Game Time that's why he is never on team
The devs asked for insult ideas from their 8 year old COD obsessed children
James Williamson I think your lying because I’ve heard some incredible insults from those kids online
5:30
5:30 someone actually consciously decided to put that in the game.
Their reaction to it put me on the floor
Its so bad its actually good
7:36
Why the fuck is the death of Peebee repeated like three times in a row, wat
jokkepokke95 mass effects buggs got into the review!
pretty sure joe cut him off one time when he thought the big guy was finished
Yeah what the shit nuggget Anus pickle
Peebee was hit by an auto kill exexcution, she was dead, peebee was dead
Peebee was hit by an auto kill exexcution, she was dead, peebee was dead
Peebee was hit by an auto kill exexcution, she was dead, peebee was dead
The game is so glitchy that the glitches got into this video. lol
I wish Delith had mentioned whether Peebee was dead. At least once.
What annoyed me more was I felt like he didn't get to the point as the other two cut him off. :|
Debonaire Nerd I want to know how she died and if she could have been revived. Now the world will never know...
I live for you saying "you done fucked it up!" at the start of reviews for games I hate.
AdiRaptor did you play this game
You don't need to play a game from 2015, 2016 or 2017 onwards to know it's shit, the majority of video games lately have been shit. Look at Mafia 3 how broken that was, and then this, then you look at Battlefront and DOOM which have little to no content then IW is just boring as shit
MrZodiac011 maybe broaden your genres of games. Stop playing so many FPSs, they've pretty much always been repetitive, boring and shitty. When a new version comes out every year you know they didn't give a crap about making it good.
Mafia 3, Watch Dogs 2, Wildlands aren't FPS games. I play anything really and the only games that have been good in the last 2 years are Rise of the Tomb Raider, Watch Dogs 2 and Battlefield 1, Battlefront was good but had no content, the rest are just garbage
Faint366 Makise Kurisu is best waifu tbh
The sound of those eyeballs clacking around 😂
I was gonna say that! It's so stupid, I love it.
Destiny had the $500 million budget. GTAV had a $265 million.
i think destiny budget wasn't 500 million for destiny 1 only microsoft gave them a 500 million contract for the sequels and the dlc's + the exlusives , so it's good share
Ilyas Abdelwahab
What are you talking about? Not one point in your comment is true.
Jacko Ludvich destiny is $500 million for all 4 games and dlc plus marketing
call of duty mw 2 was 250 millions when 200 was marketing. Star wars the old republic was 200 mln only game production and this is most expensive game to date.
OK but gta v is a masterpiece so what's your point? Lol
Del just said the same 4 sentences 3 times in a row word for word. I thought YT was glitching.
im guessing Joe just fucked up the editing
I was hoping it was a joke about the bugs. But I'm not sure.
I thought so but he ends each sentence differently. He literally rehearsed his 4 sentences and joe kept interrupting it and he really wanted to give us the whole 4 sentences at once
wyyclef thats because he wanted to strongly emphasize the points he was making.
wyyclef. I don't know why they have that fuck face on any videos. Everyone bitches about him.
googely eyes make everything better
even sex
+Extremely Memely to bad you'll never know
you right
Next patch should just be googly eyes on the characters. FIXED.

I come back from time to time for Other Joe's opener. Award worthy stuff. No BS.
oh you know its gonna be a fun review when Joe starts with "Ya done fucked it up!"
Sam Henderson But then the boring Vlog started ...
Grand Priest yeah i typed that while i was still watching the beginning thing
Maybe the comment was meant more for the person he order his customs from then for mass effect lol.
same sigh this game would of offered a fun review
Grand Priest yep very disappointing for a game review like this. they shouldn't have rushed it. it's just boring now
Why does that one dude keep repeating the "autokill execution" story with Peebee? Heard the exact same setup like 4 times within 3 minutes.
Super Duperest same o.o this review is glitchy lol
cause he didnt get to finish the story until the third time because they kept going on tangents
It was an editing mistake.
Or maybe, just maybe, they were making a point on how glitchy it is. in that case, nice troll
Mass effect andromeda was so glitchy it caused an editing glitch in the video.
Im tripping at 11:00 did Delrith Just repeat himself like 3 times or is it an Editing error?
I think it was an editing error
Kevin Garcia dude I was so confused I came to the comments to reassure my sanity
if its not an Editing error that's hella wierd that he talked liked that maybe he was drunk
Kevin Garcia that just Delrith he does repeat himself when talking about things. H
Delrith is starting the same but actually, it's a sequence of events. Most likely started out like so, tried to go back to ship, still happened but now its Drack. Just to put an emphasis on the glitches really..
the intro never gets old
the beginning to this was just epic!
Holy SHEEEIIITTT!!! I couldn't stop laughing! I needed that (its a been a real shitty day).
onTopOfYoMutha and nobody cares
Nobody asked you to.
Yo mama does...
Die? For what? Your mother?
OMFG when other Joe turned around with those googly eyes I spit out my fucking coffee. This is the funniest shit I have seen. Thanks for the review Joe. I have been waiting patiently as I've been on the fence about this game.
I had to call my husband whose playing siege in the other room just to have him see joe's intros. We both love your skits Joe.
I know ME TOO. It took me by surprised and I just busted out laughing
It's funny because I'm expecting a funny intro skit. But the punchline came way too soon. I was just settling in on the couch. LOL
Other Joe is a national treasure
Miss Sunshine Gaming that face he makes fucking kills me lmao
Peebee was dead
Abyss She got hit by an auto kill execution, she was dead, Peebee was dead.
She wouldn't come back to life. She was dead.
So i was running around and she was still dead
the is the exact comment I was looking for
Thought they fucked the editing up but he finished the same story three different ways.
I love OJ so much with alot of the skits. How he doesnt break down in tears laughing idk 😂😂
Middle guy repeated the exact same thing to set up his dead companion story like 3 times...
Qwhat9 i thought it was a glitch in the editing lol
It was an editing mistake.
Dislexic Potato butt hurt much?
Mass effect andromeda was so glitchy it caused an editing glitch in the video.
Luis Aref It was a mistake in the editing. People are being stupid.
I'd write a better comment but my face is tired..
Sedryk Mills lol good one.

That intro, laugh so hard that my soul almost came out!
and then 30 minutes of let down

@Un-broken and victorious probably a lazy writter.
Un-broken and victorious yeah i think it was an insult to Kotor 1 & 2. I grew up with that game it was the closest thing to being in a starwars universe! haha im playin it right now on xbox one. The NOSTALGIA!!! 😃😄
Hello....my face is...tied.....what should I do???
I bet joe was laughing his ass off in his mind when other joe did that googly eye thing
you forgetting joe that bioware is not the bioware we knew ... almost all got fired and replaced with the new garbage team and the facist team leader that created that game...
Eryx626 ikr
That doesnt excuse them though. Its the damn brand that counts not the team. People come and go, the brand stays. Its like buying kosher products doesnt matter which people make it you expect it to be "kosher". If its labeled kosher. Or buying a Ferrari but then the factory goes to Japan and they make a Honda with a Ferrari label. You dont say well its not the same people its Japanese who made it so I'll let this one slip through.
lol the fascist team leader.
yea that comes from his tweet '' no human should be white'' or something like this .. i forget bullshits like this on purpose for the stability of my mental health.. shame..
damn right !!
Update: they fixed the facial animations, & I'm currently playing it & honestly enjoying it lol
That's good news cause those animations were creepy and weird.
Like bad botox injections. Someone told them their dad died and they smiling like they just smoked some high grade with Snoop Dogg
so basically wait till it's $30 and they patch some of the broken stuff.
Mister Torgue Flexington yea that's fair. I'd say people should go buy the original trilogy with all the dlc enstead of this
NavyMicrobe Gaming id go do that if they had the trilogy for xbox one
Austin Dubose I think it is. They made all three backwards compatible.
NavyMicrobe Gaming You have to buy EA access, which is a surprisingly good service actually. You get all 3 for free essentially and you get some of the minor dlc's, you have to buy the rest.
Mister Torgue Flexington And as for the people who already bought it, "Pay $9.99 for minor bug fixes"
Thank you Corporate Commander for this game.
Corporate Commander : ops ops OPS! You need to pay 1 Billion dollars to say the 2 words *THANK YOU*
wahahahahaha

That intro was better than Mass Effect 3's ending without the extended cut.

I wish Christopher Christopher Christopher Christopher was in ME:A
VelvetSky1102 i love your profile picture!! 😍
CHIEF TOMMEH Yep, Amy Lee was crazy hot in the Evanescence album photo, no doubt.
problem with the voice acting is that EA won't deal with voice actors who are trying to get the same rights and protections as Screen Actors Guild of America (SAG)
as a MASS EFFECT FAN this was a bad game
Tuffy Baxton whether you're a fan or not it still sucks
Tuffy Baxton putting the title "bad game" on this shit is embarrassment to the bad games
Mass Effect fans never bought into this garbage.
ShaneO Radiosho What the fuck do you know about video games? Youre a car junkie normie. You are the type of people that only likes a game because of good looks. People like you dont look at a game thoroughly they just play it half blind and like it. New isnt always better, fucking accept it.
ShaneO Gollleeeee geeeeeooo man you are a mean rude individual aren't ya..... btw this game blows chunks compared to the first trilogy.... they better step up their shit.
I think Bioware Montreal needs a little more hand holding before they're given a game again....
The original team is out, but i dont think its a bad game not an amazign one either but you know, wont spit on it
They wanted to wait till September to release it, EA said no get it done ASAP. The game isn't bad, its pretty good. If you want to blame anyone blame EA
EA was the one willing to give them the 5 extra months.
Winter Weisel thats the problem this is a lengardy franchise and it should had been made as such .... not this mediocre bull shit
Kathanis They had 4-5 fucking years.. it's unacceptable
Has anyone noticed how they took the series to an entirely new galaxy, yet they only introduce TWO new alien races? Makes zero sense.
They don't have mass relays, so they are confined to one cluster in Andromeda for now. Humans thought they were alone, until they found the relay on Mars.
DLC's bro. That's why.
LOFTED GAMING Its only one cluster....Because there were no Mass Effect relays... So its not that weird in fact ... In the trilogy all races lived on way different clusters and only met because of the relays.... And no its not because of DLC because all DLC will be free.
its called "laziness"
Free and EA do not go together.
If EA give away all the DLC for free then I will cut off my ball sack.
Note: ALL the Asari except Peebee is the exact same (ugly) face! Peebe's face model was Shrek, to be sure, but ALL the other Asari have identical faces. The uniformly beautiful Asari of ME1, 2, & 3 are long gone in Andromeda. Only ugly Asari signed up to go to Andromeda... but the codex says there are no ugly Asari. The Andromeda writers and designers decided to throw the codex in the toilet and make plain ugly Asari.
BooDamnHoo yeah noticed this... too
It's the feminazi. I'm a huge fan of bioware until ME3. Now.... eh.. meh. I'll stick to Japanese developer.
To this day still the most accurate intro they've ever done - 10/10 would recommend
"$40 million isn't enough to make a game"
Meanwhile youtubers like CryZENx are completely re-skinning Ocarina of Time in Unreal 4 Engine FOR FREE
it's all about the money. Look at the fucking Bulletstorm remake that is out now for disgusting 45 bucks. People adapt. And them devs seem to know they can make their living off of some stupid and / or rich people who will buy it just because of the name.
+amiridiculous Sure, I'm just not buying the argument that Bioware didn't have a big enough budget to develop the game.
Yeah he's real good but noticed his ocarina of time the goron city like he's missing the pictures on the walls of the gorons, stuff like that i kinda miss.
Are you serius? I mean, Ocarina of time is a very basic game in which respects to today's game industry. You don't need to pay actors to voice, you don't need to put effort in animations, you don't need to put effort in cutscenes, and a lot of stuff which needs a lot of money to be called "AAA Game".
And you can also see people saying "The witcher 3 was made by humble slaves meanwhile Mass Effect Andromeda was done with elitist developers", very very wrong.
Witcher 3 costed $86 million to be done, a little more of the double than ME:A costed.
So, if we have to blame someone here is EA, which is the one who puts the money to make this things happen.
+German Right, did you miss the part where I said that was being done by ONE person for FREE? Now add 250 other people and $40 million dollars, and hell yes I expect you to get the eyes right. Especially since ME3 didn't have this problem, and that was a two year development gap.
"Bioware has a reputation"
Bioware doesn't exist anymore, everything that made them great is gone.
Joshua Kern We remember The Baldurs Gate.
remember KOTOR
There are different teams on Bioware. The ones they made vanilla ME (1-2-3) is "Elmonton" and the ones who did andromeda were "Montreal". The devs were not the same.
Yea because auto attack is what makes video games fun. reality check it doesn't
Dragon Age Inquisition was really good. Probably the best game they've made since the last good Mass Effect.
Uhh... did something go wrong editing-wise for this video? I heard the same first half of the "she was permanently dead" story, like, three times in a row with different second halves.
Sara Skysear he said it 3 times because the story was slightly different each time
XAndroid1 EXACTLY
That was actually in game footage at the beginning
I fuckign lost it when other joe started shaking his head. 10/10
hmmmm have fapped to a lot of shit...but this....NOPE I could not fap to this. But I sure did try...Female protoss are FAR sexier.
Well BioWare's founders are no longer in the game. BioWare was a company that took traditional roleplaying games like dungeons and dragons and transferred that experience to the PC. It was always important that you felt like you were the main character and that you were immersed in the game. 20 years later, that mentality is lost on the current BioWare team. To me it seems like they just don't have that RPG background, whic h has resulted in BioWare's games slowly becoming more and more generic. Felt this way about Inquisition and felt this way about Andromeda.
Some people like Inquisition, some people didn't. If you check the various gaming forums you'll find a lot of people that hate it. Joe gave it a 9/10, with an 8/10 for the PC version. If you feel Inquisition was great, then awesome for you, you had a good experience with the game, but it was not unanimously praised. Metacritic (while not a great review site in general, but it's an outlet for opinions) only gives Inquisition a 5.9 based on user ratings, while the original Dragon Age Origins hold an 8.7.
91Metalhead SJW's made the game just so you know
91Metalhead And yet the critical score for Inquisition is 85. It really feels to me like there is this subset if Bioware fans who are hell bent on hating everything Bioware makes now, regardless of quality.
I would't know, i loved Mass Effect 3. Bioware haven't made 2 games since then and i didn't like either.
🤘 What NO ONE seems to be mentioning is that much of the development team were there because of diversity and not because of merit. I shit you not when I say that there was a twitter post from a woman who was hired by bioware a few years back, paraphrasing she said " I can't believe I just got hired by Bioware as an animator for their new project (Andromeda). I haven't animated in 4 years!". Now what good reason is it to hire someone like that unless they simply wanted to hire a woman (I don't recall her race, tbh)? There's tons of vids here on YT discussing exactly this problem at Bioware in much more detail. 🤘
Other Joe with the googly eyes looks like Judge Doom. *sees semi-reenactment of WFRR, with Other Joe as Judge Doom* "When I made you review those shitty games, I TALKED....JUST...LIKE...THIIIISSSSSS!!!!!!!!"
Jared Samples Dude, you're right! It is like Judge Doom! He should have used that line.
Jared Samples Judge . . . Doom? Judge Doom or Judge Death?
He looked like a thumb with googly eyes glued on.

"your god damn father is dead" lmao
I'm worried for the next Dragon Age...
Char Beers hahahahahaha ikr
Char Beers be worried for the previous one. inquisition was a trash single player with mmo quests and forced SJW dialogues.
dude...are you fuking telling me that DAI is worst that Dragon Age 2?
Assuming Bioware lasts long enough to make another DA before EA kills them. It seems they're already getting prepared to shut down, since their next game is just going to be an action game, and not even an RPG, according to Bioware themselves.
Orpheus 010 haha yeah woulda made a solid mmorpg.
Anybody else have a sinking feeling that BioWare has maybe 8-10 years left before EA runs them into the ground?
CaseytheComedian No.
Dunno, Miranda, EA has done it to great publishers in the past... "Gaming's Evil Empire" hasn't changed, they've just gotten more diabolical.
Yeah, definitely. Their games have been pretty average at best lately.
CaseytheComedian try one month lol
See, here's the thing, internet shitstorm or no - the game has sold well. We KNOW it has sold well because everyone and their grandma is posting footage of them actively cursing the screen as they play it :P The same can be said for DAI (often considered the weakest entry in the DA franchise) it had a HUGE fan backlash (that has been maintained TO THIS DAY) and it sold REALLY well. Same with ME3 with all its issues and problems and shall we discuss the story? We could go on for a while - bring up TOR which is STILL bringing in tons of money.
Bioware is in no danger of 'collapsing' - losing some of the people who made it what it WAS? Sure... but that doesn't mean it's 'dead' - it just means they put out a middle-of-the-road triple-A title. It wouldn't be the first game they made that wasn't an out-of-the-park project - hell! Wouldn't even be the first lackluster SEQUEL they made that was ho-hum (DA2? DAA? Most of the Neverwinter Night expansions were crap IMO and that was PRE-EA arts)
The world is not going to end - and Bioware is going to be around for years yet. Chill.
Other Joe had me laughing hard at that intro. That is a great point about why couldn't we choose our own race now ? Like have unique branching story dialogue as a result, it would have made the game even more in depth.
Yeah, every race could’ve had different qualities. Like how the Krogans value brute strength or how the Asari have the abilities to use the force and shit
>gives it a 6/10 and can see why ppl would consider this mess a 7
>admits he couldnt do most side quests cause he got bored
to me that sounds like a 4/10 game. especially if we are talking this game that is supposedly highly story driven as it was for the original trilogy. 5 AT BEST. but not a 6-7/10 im sorry.
Altho the first trilogy had its flaws, they were a way better games than this mess andromeda is.
I've played this game for about 30 hours and said to myself "no more". I simply cannot find anything interesting to grab on and keep playing. Everything (aside the combat system which is kinda cool and some scenery on planets, like the aurora borealis one) screams lazyness and boredom. It's like that they have put all their resources into the combat system and when they were done with it they went like "oh shit, now that we used all our budget what?!" and fucked up the rest of the game.
Mass Effect games are supposed to be RPGs with fps elements in it. Not fps with minor rpg elements in it. Mass effect 3 obviously was going to be less rpg and more fps, there's an invasion going on and all there is left to do is basically fight the reapers, so i didn't mind it that much in that particular scenario, but i see where you're coming from.
Here in andromeda you're supposedly a new colonist, the pathfinder. You're basically set to explore a whole new galaxy and what we get? 5 planets and 2 races (which one is hostile for the entire game). Fucking wow. This is dragon age inquisition in space basically. The writing was on the wall with that game (atleast for me, i hated that game... it felt like playing a single player mmorpg).
Is it a terrible game? No. Is it good? FUCK NO. Is it mediocre at best? Fuck yes. They basically did a bit of everything with a mediocre stamp on it.
Davide Pannone Angry Joe is the sort of critic that gives the super mainstream games at least a 7 no matter the quality. I think that he does this for 2 reasons. To avoid backlash is one. He'd get a thrashing if he gave a popular game a lower score and expressed non mainstream opinions; all critics get some hate if they are critical of a popular game and/or franchise. And the other is he is biased to the games he gets the most enjoyment out of therefore only covering the positives of a game. The Witcher 3 is a great example of this; I like TW3 a lot but the game has some pretty serious issues when it comes to combat and control which Joe ignored because he's so blown away by the story and characters.
Well I'm sorry I disagree with you. I put over 100 hours in the game and loved it. At least you played it for awhile unlike a lot of sheep out there who hated on it and didn't even play it. So was a great game, yes. Too bad no SP DLC will be released though.
Larry 333200 I also played it for 100 hours but that doesn't mean it's good. The script is fucking AWFUL and the RPG turned into the fallout-4 style. The main plot elements are far less interesting than the Reaper invasion, and the new species aren't that interesting and we had to give up all the variety of the Milky Way for it.
This game is a 5/10. It's a AAA game so it obviously has a lot of content and the mechanics are fun but the game has no talent.
Well if you played it and didn't like that doesn't bother me. My main point was that countless people hated on the game and never played it. And the script was bad in places but not f*cking awful through the whole game. And if you played the game for at least a 100 hours yourself, you must have enjoyed something about it or you wouldn't played that long I hope. Yes the Reaper invasion was more interesting, I never said it wasn't. To me the Angarans were a very likeable race, the Kett, not so much.
i cant wait to play this, im gonna pick the red ending, no no the blue one
Swissed Cheese sorry they only have 30 shades of blue to pick from
AFAIK it has a single ME3's "Synergy"-like ending.
Ah, yes. The Synergy ending. Where biodiversity is thrown out the window, even though the entire series has been all about diversity being what makes us strong.
More like it has an Me1/Me2 "Setup for the future" ending.
Synergy doesn't change diversity - humans are still human, and same for every other species. What it did was bond everyone, synthetics and organics, so that both groups can now understand each other.
0/10 no Quarian bae
blakereed92 true dat
I miss Tali so much
blakereed92 Fuck off with that bae shit. Unless you're a 14 year old girl that is.
No need to get mad over someone saying bae, dude.
I missed tali so much
“Kill me now”what everybody was thinking when they played the game
Ryder started acting like tali
not everyone just whining kids ! it is good game
@Honestly Brutal it is still good game but because issues you mentioned fo me it is at least 7/10 but personally i give it 8/10 .... and you know why no quarians ? because of shitty "fans" like f.e. @Gamehermit5050
... quarians should come in dlc but "fans" shit on this good game so we dont have quarians and possibly no more mass effect games
If you liked the game why do you even care what I or anybody else says? You liked it cool that’s your opinion more power to you.
I may be a "jaded" superfan of the Mass Effect series, but I am not buying this game at full price. I can't support the direction BioWare is going. I'll see after a few patches and updates if it's worth buying.
Mass Effect 3 was my last BioWare game. I still replay Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins though.
It was already 20% off a week after release. I give it two months for the bargin bin.
If you go with my opinion then you could get a worthy buy:
Mass effect 1= 6/10
Mass effect 2=8.5/10
Mass effect 3=8/10 (ignoring the ending)
Mass effect 4=6.5/10 or 7/10 (depending if you prefer a more skirim like game were the bulk of the game is in other things that does not revolves around the main story)
Wait for it to go below 40 dollars.
Got it on sale last week for like $45, it's worth it for the combat and exploration, but not at full price
EA being the worst company in the world, again.
Sebastien because Activision and Ubisoft are from another galaxy
ea this is all bio ware
have you played it ? .. dont think so by you judging xD i glady payed 80 euro's for the super deluxe edition... every game by company's now are multiplayer based and got not more then 10 hours of play time ... were this game has 80+ and amazing gameplay ... please get a job buy it play it on 4k and come back to me before judging a book by its cover. i love the fact people judge before trying it themself .. you should work for ISIS they do the same thing but they do 1 thing smarter and thats getting rid of themselfs for us..
I like how triple A companies are disappointing everyone.
***** They're not bad companies, they just made bad choices
