Damn, reviews aren't looking good for the game. I Know. I might just hold off for awhile untill it goes on sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll go on sale in maybe a year and by then, it'll have a bunch of patches out and the game will be much better. I've preordered this game, too much loyalty to Bioware I guess.

Ossi Vaananen Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Got my preload ready. Can't start app until 9 pm PST. I've heard some mixed reviews about the start of the game though. Apparently really slow to start, and a fair amount of new information regarding the hub and play style complicates things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimberWolf Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Got a duluxe edition coming though the reviews are not exactly blowing me away. Though if I listened to reviews I wouldn't have bought Mass Effect 2 which was a phenomenal game. And it just arrived and I am at work. I'll let everyone know what I think when I start bashing through the game on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEON.KNEE Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 havn't touched the single player yet... The MP scratches the same itch that ME3 MP did...almost too similar...Not new territory here, but if you missed out on ME3 MP or loved the original you will have a good time. The learning curve is steep and it is hard as hell starting out, but I'll help anyone out that wants to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Yeah, I'm having a great time with this game. I haven't been on multiplayer too much besides a few matches, but it's great as well. Singleplayer took awhile for me to really get into it. Probably a few hours. I can see what they mean by slow start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Can't put my finger on it but there's the charm of the original three missing. It's a decent game but not blowing me away. Bit too much travel and unskippable docking scenes and I encountered a bug where people on my ship are talking over to intercom to squadmates that haven't joined me yet. I do like my Space Monkey. It's like the game tried to address the complaints off other games into this, like larger exploration and such but it's not jiving with the small amount of action as well as it could. The Nomad1 is a million times better than the Mako, though I went with a female Ryder to start and it took some doing to make her not hideous, not sure if her conversation choices are doing much yet, but the Biotic huntress girl shot down her advances in a hurry..... Also I would prefer everyone call her Ryder over "pathfinder" Being able to research better weapons is a nice touch but you can only equip Ryder as your squad is not custmizable except for skill points. Because you have a jump pack EA couldn't resist making segments of the game into platform puzzles. Stopping and using that wrist scanner all the time disrupts the pace but not doing so means less access to the cool weapons.. Probing still sucks but it's more like in 3 and not that bleh from 2 Music is good, voice acting is alright and it's picking up the pace as I go. We'll see what happens as I get deeper into it.

Shaft Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 This game is very disappointing. I am a big Bioware supporter but I say that you should definitely wait to buy this game on sale. It is plagued with too many issues/glitches to even list. On top of that, the writing and dialogue is terrible for Bioware standards and there are also many lore inconsistencies. They went overboard and made all your squadmates into "bros" and no one ever disagrees with you. The game at the moment for me is a 5.5/6 and even if all the bugs, glitches, and terrible animations get fixed it'll still maybe be a 7. That is because they can never fix the garbage writing. Oh and I must say, the female character sounds like a teenage girl and her line delivery is not good. She's a good voice actor but the way they have her delivering the lines make me cringe quite a bit. The only positive would be the combat/skills. They did a really good job with that but it was expected because Bioware Montreal handled the Mass Effect: Andromeda project. They were in charge of the ME3 multiplayer and that turned out great. However, regarding everything else, it is not worth full price. Save your money, wait for a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Okay, giving this game a second chance as I need a break from Fallout and the new Skyrim. Started a new character and was pleasantly surprised the models have been upgraded. Made a new female Ryder and she looks fantastic. As I redid the prologue every other character I encountered seemed to get a much needed facelift and all look more human (or appropriately alien) now. Only just got started last night and finished the prologue and a couple of Nexus side missions. We'll see how it goes from there. Overall I'm feeling eager to jump in as it feels less clunky. Combat was the kind of smooth chaos that commando fights should be and I'm pretty sure there are things that were not there at launch like a store to sell trash on the Tempest and facial reconstruction in med bay. We'll see once the worlds start opening up if it can keep my interest this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
