Been waiting for Crowbcat to do a video on this catastrophe, he is the highlight of gaming right now.

He always delivers, it's great. Can at least enjoy the sour apple somewhat that way.

It ain't that bad actually. Enjoying it quite a lot tbh.
If you can ignore the once in a while slip in facial animations and a stupid dialogue line here and there, the voice acting is really good tbh.
At least the English one, I've heard the German sync and it is bloody awful D:

And combat is fun - I can't say otherwise.
When west germany annexed east germany, nobody moved a finger too.

Ive seen a lot of terrible voice acting and horrible writing in it already. It really is like a bad-funny B movie.

Heard it's basically fuck the dialogue, fuck the characters + animation and fuck the story but otherwise the graphics & gameplay overall is solid.

Worse than ME1-2-3 though I'll guess?

meh... ME2 was really really bad tbh, especially on release. So I'd say it's better than that.
ME1 is so completely different, I wouldn't even compare the two - ME1 not even with ME3 really which certainly was the best part apart from the ending.

I'd say from mediocre to good ME2, MEA, (ME1,) ME3. Reason for me to consider MEA over ME2 is the really fun combat. Dynamic, fast-paced and equipment/crafting can make a meaningful difference w/o making it imba. AI consists of flanking, sniping and outnumbering which isn't brilliant but solid.

Damn, and i got my hopes up that it might be my first ME game.
I'd say 'don't bother' if you're not a Mass Effect lore/universe fan.
It is a mediocre game for anyone who does not like Mass Effect as a brand. Only enjoyable thing then is the combat and that is not enough to carry it.
Wait for the discounted GOTY in 18 months :wink:

Never played MEA but ranking the original ones I'd say ME2 > ME 1 > ME3

So seems we got completely different opinions there lol.

I mean, Molly thinks ME2 was really bad, that should say enough about how much his opinion on Andromeda is worth to anyone who liked the series or RPG games in general. ME2 is objectively one of the best RPG games made.

It's not just about crappy animations and bad dialogue now and then, the writing is over all horrible and the protagonist in particular is as bland as they come.

Storywise ME2 was the worst - what the fuck you're talking about?

It started a dozen plots and finished none of them.
Here I was thinking you're a smart lad...

ME2 was the worst storywise? Tell me this is parody. But, yes, I believe that quite amply demonstrates why your word about Andromeda "not being that bad" means nothing.

Isn't it universally agreed upon among the fans that ME2 was the best? Never seen a statement that says otherwise, well until now ofc.

Yep, never thought I'd see the day that someone called ME2 awful and worst of the series. It also has the highest review scores.

I've outgrown Kotor. Mass Effect is more of the same, but with action combat instead of tactical, turn based combat.
Kinda dislike typical Bioware characters and I've seen their narrative twist enough times that is becomes boring. Never finished Dragon Age Origins, second and third never wanted to try. Because those characters, their 'witty' lines and story twisting predictably started getting on my nerves. When I think about, every Bioware game I've ever played has weak combat for its time. So gameplay can't be the reason to keep playing their games.

I have watched this game, combat is basically shooting with some weird space rifle, jumping and shooting with that rifle. But it's like in RPG, every move is specific. Not true action gameplay. For example when you jump it seems like some kind of jetpack is activating. When you activate it motion captured animation played which is always the same but you can move around with it. But it always jumps the same distance, it's not like jetpack in Tribes games for example where some rudimentary physics is present. Basically that's what makes gameplay boring, limited ways of playing due to preconfigured and stiff animations and complete absence of physics. What's funny, Zelda that was made for WiiU (shit specs) has ton of physics simulation (well rudimentary) while games like Andromeda and Horizon have none.

Story and dialogue are painful to listen to, but Molly is used to hanging around Krems so I guess he's used to it.

Yes, I don't understand why it's so hard to make actual fun combat in RPG games. Instead almost all of them have RPG-y combat with bullet/sword sponge enemies.

A TES game with Dark Messiah style combat would be so frigging fun.
