Leggo.
Only DY, Haspha, Smokey, and I will play it on SLAENT.
This story is beyond dumb lol
Like we are in a completely new galaxy and I'm tasked with finding new worlds.. But somehow the main base has survived a str8 up revolt and people exiled have found a way to survive on the surrounding planets to the point where an economy actually exists.

What makes it so bad for me is the total lack of imagination that's gone into it. It is just so uninspired it's insane, the writing is just awful. Landing on a 'strange alien planet' with 'advanced technology' and being attacked by a mysterious alien race? Fuck off. The gunplay is nothing special. The terrible animations coupled with super hit and miss voice acting. Just nope.
While I don't expect incredibly written stories in my video games, the earlier ones had a sense of mystery about the characters and not a total cliche plot.

Okay, "good" is a little too generous.
It's fine. And a decent time sink for people who really like Mass Effect

Like I mentioned in the main gaming thread, I'm looking for a key in the $30s or so before jumping in, but I definitely want to continue my trial. I love space stuff too much ;_;

TItanfall 2 got a rapid price cut, if this doesn't meet expectations out of the gate (and with all the highly rated competition right now, it likely won't unless the Xbox audience is super thirsty) it will probably be steeply discounted within a month or two.
Nah this game is definitely gonna meet sales expectations.
I don't know if there was a patch or what but I came back to the pro version because I was salty about paying for it again on PC and... You know what it's fine. I'll finish it on this platform.
Really really disliking the three powers system though. I need access to at least five.

Got it today. Some thoughts:
- Fifa character creator is better than this shit.
- Haven't really noticed the animations being as bad as the gifs yet. Still time though.
- The galaxy map is fucking abysmal to navigate, albeit pretty.
- Multiplayer is great. Gonna sink loads of time into that.

I have it downloaded but looking to get through Zelda, platinum Horizon, and start Yooka Laylee before I get to this.
Gave multiplayer a go, got absolutely reamed in wave 3 of my first proper match at bronze level lol
Feel like the camera is far too close to the player character, makes moving around accurately a bit of a crapshoot since so much of the screen is blocked
Wish there was a minimap instead of a compass. Need to get to grips with my abilities and supplies.

Game just soft-froze loading into a multiplayer match
Shouldn't have been allowed to release in this state. Played for under 6 hours, already glitched 3 times in ways that have forced me to the main menu or to quit the game entirely.

are the strike missions basically multiplayer? or are they specifically given in such a way that it doesn't spoil shit?
Wondering if I'm supposed to be losing all the time in multiplayer until I've levelled up enough to survive til extraction
Got to the last objective yesterday for the first time, but instantly got picked up and killed by some big bastard

By Laboured Go To PostWhat in the actual fuck happened to their lighting model?
The outdoor lighting is thankfully very good. Environments and graphics in outdoor areas look up to the quality of Inquisition, I'd say. The Nexus is somehow god awful, definitely the worst area of the game in terms of lighting. Everything is extremely flat and characters look like they all dyed their hair with Manic Panic.
Just landed.
About to pick this up on the way home. People say I wouldn't be able to play with a busted hand. Hold my beer, Adam

MP is unfortunately more grindy than ME3. Feels like you level up much slower through XP. Doesn't help that you have to level up individual characters and not just the classes as well.
Have Ryder set up as a Vanguard. Loads of fun pulling, charging, nova blasting and then finishing off with a melee attack. Melee is much more powerful than it was in ME3 too.

Melee is pretty great. I'm going with a melee-focused infiltrator build. I developed the Kett sword that lights enemies on fire, it does loads of damage, especially with the out-of-stealth damage bonus.
Finally starting this up.
Somehow my Pops Ryder came out looking like the black highlander lol
the face animations are way off tho. no joking about that.

By Adam Blade Go To PostSo, is the hate overblown? 🤔No.
By reilo Go To PostNo.
Lemme enjoy this, bruv.
By reilo Go To PostNo.do you play this yet?
By DY_nasty Go To Postdo you play this yet?Ima wait when it's $5.
Insert link to conversation where reilo tells Smokey his opinion of uncharted is irrelevant because he watched it instead of playing enough of it here 😒

Insert squinty eyes that I can't find on my phone keyboard :(
Wonder how Bioware will handle the multiplayer
Unlike the campaign, a lot of people's problems with the MP could probably be fixed with tweaks and added content. Not sure I trust them to stop themselves from making it worse though, ala Uncharted 2 multiplayer

finally getting a feel for the whole profiles thing... its kinda funny how they just turned the single player into me3:mp with hotswap loadouts. not complaining, but it is pretty ironic.
at least i put a good amount of time into halo 5 before shitting on it

It's a 7/10 with a huge helping of "o come on, that could've been so much better".
Definitely feels worse than a 7/10 with "Eh, i guess this is about as good as they could've made it" even though qualitatively it's the same level of enjoyment.
I'm sure I wouldn't bother with it if i weren't such a big ME fan.

oddly enough, the change that irks me most is the change in tone. i kinda miss the dark humor and i wish there was a way to be an overt asshole like renegade shep. early on, the game is slooooooooooooooooow. worse than the hinterlands. also, scanning is bad. just stretches the game out too much. i hate it.
also kinda odd how some of the best dialogue is in the terminals and not spoken "not to sound elitist, but while its true humans invented yoga, asari perfected it" huehue
combat is a beauty though.

Had a bug today where my twin didn't appear in one of my father's memories. Voice lines and subs didn't play either. Just blank silence whenever she was supposed to speak. Was quite funny.
I like the fact the story doesn't revolve around a superhuman who must save the galaxy from impending annihilation. Just about exploring and helping those you encounter.

By DY_nasty Go To Postdo you play this yet?
I play more stuff than reilo if we being real
ijs
Imma hop on this soon as I can get price appropriate key
Does the game get better after eos? Not concerned with the animations etc it is what it is, and I didn't run into any of that during my trial
By Smokey Go To PostI play more stuff than reiloi was wrong about you smokey
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostAgreed. And I do find the characters interesting enough as well.this game starts way too fucking slow and base. it makes ME1's eden prime/citadel experience seem like a tomb raider intro
things didn't really pick up for me until i left the nexus for the second time. now i see my crew picking fights with each other for the pettiest of reasons (vetra and liam beef is lol) and all sorts of little quirks are starting to show out
also the game is too fucking easy right now as well. you have to play on at least hardcore starting out
