Did anyone play Mass Effect Andromeda? I loved the original series, but never got around to the latest one. Anyways, it hasn't done well and BioWare Montreal is being downsized to a support studio.
Tough business.
I've enjoyed it so far. To me its just Mass Effect without the Sheppard story line and maybe that's half the problem. Not too sure about the sexual ambiguity of some of the characters but I guess you can't judge a book by its cover nowadays....nevermind alien species.....my gaming love knows no boundaries!
Again only about 1/4 of the way into it but the mechanics are solid. I'll report more later.
Just finished this and I enjoyed the story and the way it ended. The Kett Archon was a little weak at first but even that ended up being ok. I enjoyed the way it tied in to the previous 3 not too much but just enough (you have to dive deep into the story to experience it). I also enjoyed the element of humour and sarcasm.....as an example there is a particular crew member who does not like to remain fully clothed.....his crewmates even poke fun at him later on in the game for it. Even though a lot of the tasks/missions were the typical bioware fetch fare for the most part I found them to be worth the effort. Some were overly tedious (having to endure unskippable space scenes) but there were only a few of those. I also did find myself skipping a lot of conversations....and there were A LOT. But as a guy that likes to complete pretty much every side mission before the main mission it kept me engaged. I only experienced 1 Crash on my entire playthrough. Not sure how it received so much hate. I thought it was a great beginning to a new trilogy. Too bad we probably won't see it now.
Horizon was still better but this one doesn't deserve all the shade thrown its way. As with the other ME games I will play this through again.
