>>735071156
It's pretty funny how much mileage EA is getting out of the Bioware name, like "this time it will be the REAL Bioware making this new game, the last 6 failures don't count"
I think they spent all the goodwill the name had on Andromeda and Failguard though
>>
>>735070893
KEK
>>
>>735071225
I think it has become increasingly obvious that anything without Shepard and the crew will be outright rejected at this point, because nobody wants to see Bioware's next batch of rejects. There is no goodwill, as you said, nor the benefit of the doubt anymore. Nobody cares about what Bioware wants to do.

I never made it off the first planet cause combat was dogshit. And I say this as someone whose favorite game to replay *from the series is 3 because the combat is the most fun there
>>
Playing le right now and the fuckers could've warned first players that they'll miss a bonus power as they aren't unlocked. Pretty lame. Wanted to take barrier for a fem soldier paragon second playthrough through the trilogy. Renegade was fun so far. Didn't ay the dlc. Mean cahsgrabs btw. Hiding the best weapons behind them is ridiculous.

It suffers from the same issue as Veilguard, as that it doesn't have a single good line of dialogue in the entire game. Every time someone talks, you want to kill them. Which is a problem when your games are known for being character focused.
>>
>>735071608
>How bad is andromeda really?
All potential, no execution. Interesting ideas for colonizing further reaches of space, but it ends up boring dreck, especially since it's still largely based on familiar species that came for the trip. Technically an open world game but it's bland and empty and pointless. Arguably some of the best combat mechanics even surpassing 3's multiplayer in the right hands, but dogshit encounters and bad difficulty scaling to not make the most of it. And you can tell it was the 3 MP team that got shortchanged to make it when they weren't ready, because combat is basically the only thing that functions properly where so much either doesn't or got jankified. And the presentation is bad. Really bad. Cheap voice actors bad. Krogans with lisps bad.

>bonus power isn't unlocked on a second playthrough
???
Can you make your post about 15% less ESL so we can actually understand what you said?

>>735071680
Combat is best, sure. Le1 has bearable combat there. Me2 has cool down for all powers, bit lame imo.
Bummer than mea is shit.
>>
>>735071737
>warned first players that they'll miss a bonus power as they aren't unlocked
Huh? I beat le1 and realized I missed a bonus power on my first run. I play on hardcore and could've used the bonus power. After finishing the trilogy, I'm going for a second run, fem soldier. Is barrier an acceptable choice to do so? AFAIK soldier gets weapon and armor training and could use barrier.

It's okay if you heavily mod it. Nothing will fix the dialogue or Ryder being a really lame protagonist, but you can make the combat fun and the setting isn't bad. There was potential for much better sequel, but obviously that'll never happen.

My friend was willing to take the chance I wasn't, and found the game so tedious he couldn't finish it. This is a man with endlessly more patience for boring gameplay than I do (he's 100% assasins creed games multiple times), so I never dared touch the game after that.

He said after a certain point pretty much every combat encounter started playing out the same. Something I feel could be said for a lot of the series, but unlike the rest of the series, Andromeda's narrative wasn't engaging enough to make up for that fact. Even beyond the cringy diologue, the narritive is incredibly dry and thin. A first draft ass "we'll go back and add the cool shit later" type narritive

Cora's a much more interesting character than Vetra. Chudoids just instantly dismissed her because of her shit haircut. I still remember the seethe it caused because she was "queer coded" and then written to be the game's only straight tradwife.

Luckily the character creator functioned enough that you could make her somewhat cute.
Because cute retard ryder is about as tolerable as femkamui from fire emblem fates.

Story wise it sucks. Whatever cool concepts they have are halfassed and the main story is boring and repetitive. New alien species are fucking lame, and the nexus is a far worse citadel.
Gameplay wise the game is pretty fun though.

Yeah, he's quite well written. A fake IDGAFer who plays the "I'm just an old washed up brute" character while actually wanting the krogans to not bring their retardation from Milky Way to Andromeda as well.

The idea that Drew Karpyshyn of today is the same as the Drew from 20 years ago, is beyond baffling to me. Even then, his idea of Earth future was that every human was now a brown mutt. I do not trust any writer to come back and be good in modern day. I nowadays start with the preconception that they will be shit and write woke shit, and hope I get pleasantly surprised. Mary DeMarle is probably another woke Montreal Karen nowadays.

>There was potential for much better sequel, but obviously that'll never happen.
There was potential for a better foundation, too, but that never happened either. The idea that investing more into something that went bad will fix it is beyond me. Cut your ties with it and just move on. Obviously, since this is Bioware we're talking about, doubling down on this shit is the only thing they can do.

Yeah I went back and read through some of the codex entries. It specifies that blue eyes and blonde hair are basically not natural due to everyone muttifying so much.

>Even then, his idea of Earth future was that every human was now a brown mutt
I mean with the rate at which Indians keep spreading out is it really that farfetched? I'm glad I'll be long dead by then at least.
>>
>>735076178
It doesn't matter. It takes a specific type of character and genre to sell a game on mutts, browns and niggers. And considering the current era, and current politics, a lot of (sand)niggers are going to get wiped. No matter how progressive you get, or mentally ill you get, it is unlikely that an entire ethnic group will agree to their own demise. White cock finds a way.
>>
>>735076453
I truly hope you are right, but again we will be long dead before either eventuates so it's not my problem.
>>
>>735052582
And then 2 fucked everything up.
>>
>>735059224
Because they abandoned the retro sci-fi feel for generic epic soundtrack slop. It's part of the reason why the series went to shit after 1.
