I'm glad the shills are out in full force, keep reminding me to watch that new trailer.

I like Mass Effect, even after all the bad design decisions, I want to give Andromeda a chance just because it can give me that small bit of satisfaction the first ME gave me. But this game has had next to nothing shown. I'm reminded of before DAI released, the devs were talking about how they were planning on making it an MMO up until the very end or some shit. I can't hope for a well written story, but as long as I can explore Uncharted Worlds, I'll be happy.

I thought ME3 was good and was hyped for Andromeda, but the fact that they haven't shown ANYTHING yet has made me seriously reconsider.

You felt like a big galactic babysitter. No race in the entire fucking galaxy could solve any of their problems by themselves without Shepard completing some arbitrary task for them. It made sense to babysit your squadmates in ME2. It did NOT make sense to babysit entire planets in ME3. The game made the entire galaxy look utterly retarded and inept and virtually every situation presented to the player felt contrived.

Everything you did felt completely disconnected and irrelevant. You were hopping from problem to problem, but it didn't feel like you were playing a coherent story or had a clear goal in mind. Everything felt like you were just killing time until the scientists finished their deus ex machina switch (which shouldn't have existed because the writers promised there'd be no DEM solution to the reapers).

Reapers arriving in the galaxy as quickly as they did was retarded, and kinda defeats the purpose of the Arrival DLC in ME2.

Reapers being so easily destroyable after what it took to bring down Sovereign was retarded.

Everything to do with Cerberus was fucking awful.

None of your choices mattered or played out in any substantial way in ME3.

All those squadmates you spent time getting to know, doing loyalty missions for, and keeping alive during the suicide mission in ME2 were relegated to background characters.

Javik and EDI were terrible squadmate ideas.

The ending ruined Reapers forever and was completely nonsensical, but it's far from the only bad part of the game. ME3 was a fucking mess in all aspects.
>>
I'm not. My only experience with Mass Effect is playing two or three hours of it and then my disc getting an error and refusing to play any further. Never going to play a mass effect game unless I get them for free somehow.

0 Hype. Never going to play. They didn't even show anything so you shouldn't be hyped regardless.

>>
>>341429710

Shitty textures all over the place, and no effort put into what was supposedly impressive backdrops. Hell, on Earth in the intro, theoretically where they had all the time in the world, the Reapers beams do fuck all to the scenery, and look at the crowd running away - they are all the same flat 2d sprite, that could have been done better in the 00s.

As was said, the journal was utter shit, and the side quests to go with it, if they can even be called that.

The fact that your decisions, the entire marketing of the entire series, having weight was bullshit on Telltale levels.

Romances were also fucked, especially the ME2 ones, who barely get cameos prior to the Citadel DLC (which came far, far too late). Romanced Jack, Miranda, or (you poor bastard) Fishlips? Fuck you, you should have stayed loyal the the asshole Vermire survivor. The only well executed (and I use that term with all the salt in the world) was Liara, and it's clear that's because she was always intended to be the main romance. And hell, even her you have to re-kick off the romance, even if you did Shadow Broker.

At least the Extended Cut gave us the ability to tell Starchild to shove his (and Bioware's) 'choices' up his ass. Fuck the Reapers, fuck the writers, and fuck making me love something and then utterly phoning it in on the last part of a multi-million dollar trilogy.
>>
>>341431860
>on harder difficulties all the cool combat stuff is practically unusable thanks to the shitty shield/armor/life mechanic

Well that's just completely untrue, because even on insanity you can strip defenses very quickly and follow up with biotic combos.

Fighting shields? Overload > pull > warp.

Fighting barriers? Concussive shot > pull > warp.

Fighting armor? Incinerate > pull > warp.

Don't wanna bring a defence stripper? Shoot down one target's defence, pull/slam > warp them, and the explosion will AoE defence strip for you anyway.

>hide behind a wall, again and again and again

Neither Vanguards nor Sentinels have to use cover, even on insanity.

My hype died with ME3's ending. I got off the ride at ME2; I couldn't get interested in ME3, and the disappointment of an ending ME3 had turned me off enough to just not bother trying. I have no expectation Andromeda will be any better, so I'm probably just going to watch a playthrough or something when it's out to sate what little curiosity I have left.

So in ME2 Shep died and thanks to their magic technology they brought him back and gave him a few upgrades
Didn't really make sense that you could become full Biotic if you wre a completely non-Biotic soldier previously but I can accept that handwave
Did they have any explanation if you change class in ME3?

I prefer the addition of Thermal Clips from a game design standpoint.
Weapon cooldowns and infinite ammo made switching weapons pointless.
Any class can just get pistol+Spectre Series+Marksmen and just hold down the button until everything is dead. Even on insanity I never switched weapons. Just pop marksmen and hold the fire button.
Ammo capacity actually makes me care about the weapons I'm carrying since the Mattock burns through ammo like your mom burns through twinkies.

Actually, that would have worked really well. Especially is Saren was the 'Anderson'/leader, and you could become a good friend or even have a light romance. Would have raised the stakes in ME1, as towards the end and after discovering Indoctrination, he was already a little sympathetic.

Not that guy but in my opinion, ME2 was the only one where biotics weren't as fun as just a straight-up soldier exactly due to the armor stripping you constantly have to do

Not hyped at all. I had my Mass Effect experience. I played through the trilogy and got an unsatisfactory end to my Shepard's story. I don't feel like I need more Mass Effect.

Mass Effect 3 Ending

Never forget
>>
>>341431245
>The game made the entire galaxy look utterly retarded and inept and virtually every situation presented to the player felt contrived.
From the original game you are LITERALLY space-jesus. Don't make it sound like 3 was the first game that did this. I found the "suicide mission" at the end of 2 equally immersion-breaking, but at least in 3 there was some meaning and drama behind the absurdity. 2 is literally a half-assed excuse to be an edgy """"badass""""

>Everything you did felt completely disconnected and irrelevant.
So first you're galactic babysitter and then you're irrelevant? Pick one, buddy. If you're talking about the fact that the Reapers kick your shit in, I'm sorry you couldn't take it when they actually delivered on all those ominous promises made in the first two games

>Reapers arriving in the galaxy as quickly as they did was retarded
Honestly the Arrival DLC itself was retarded. At least it was just DLC canon that was retconned, rather than the entire first game which is basically what ME2 did with it's "durr that epic quest to stop the Reapers accomplished nothing, they're still coming"

>Reapers being so easily destroyable
Different kinds of Reapers. Sovereign was one of their most advanced/strongest, and it gives them more depth if they're not all literal clones. Also this contradicts your other complaint about the Reapers being so overpowered.

>Everything to do with Cerberus was fucking awful.
Agreed, but they should never have been major players in the goddamn first place.

>None of your choices mattered or played out in any substantial way in ME3.
>He fell for the "10293582 endings!" meme

>All those squadmates you spent time getting to know, doing loyalty missions for, and keeping alive during the suicide mission in ME2 were relegated to background characters.
Most of them had pretty significant roles in the story even if you didn't get to use them.
>>
>>341432314
Did you ever have to switch weapons in 2?
The Mattock burns through ammo, sure, but the only reason to even use it is if you're a soldier since then its damage output increases massively, and if you have adrenaline rush active you should be aiming at heads anyway

Good. You opened this message. This isn't actually asari military command. They're busy tending to what's left of their planet.
So you survived our fight on Thessia. You're not as weak as I thought. But never forget that your best wasn't good enough to stop me. Now an entire planet is dying because you lacked the strength to win. The legend of Shepard needs to be re-written. I hope I'm there for the last chapter. It ends with your death.

>>341432408
Right, but if you bring a squadmate with an AoE defence stripper applicable to the mission, you can strip the defences of 3-4 enemies with the press of a button.

And it's not like you're bringing them solely to defence strip either, because those skills work as crowd control if you need them to as well.

If you walk into a room and see four enemies with shields, a quick Garrus overload followed by a Jacob pull will have all those enemies floating in the air with two button presses. It's not like it was particularly inconvenient to do.

I don't agree, except for Miranda.

Tali/Garrus had a lot of content for the waifu/husbandofags.

Thane died, but you knew from ME2 that he had a terminal case of space AIDs so I'm not sure what anyone expected.

Jacob was definitely fucked, so I guess if you were one of the six people who romanced him you'd have a point.
>>
>>341432173
I cant even play ME2/3 on anything less than insanity cause the shield/barrier/armour mechanic actually matters and makes me consider my team.
Lower difficulties are a breeze since you can spam overpowered biotics and not give a fuck cause most enemies are weak to them.
ME3 made this even better with Biotic/Tech combos and Fire/Ice explosions being so fucking useful and fun. ME3 had best combat and that is shown best in the fact it has damn good multiplayer using those same mechanics.

>>341432621
>From the original game you are LITERALLY space-jesus. Don't make it sound like 3 was the first game that did this

There's a difference between being a renown wrecking ball and being the only person in the galaxy capable of doing anything. As I said virtually every mission in ME3 felt contrived. In the original game the events happening around you felt like the natural results of the plot. In ME3 everything felt orchestrated to jerk the player off.

>So first you're galactic babysitter and then you're irrelevant? Pick one, buddy
I'm referring to the fact that the things you're doing don't feel plot-relevant. You know the scientists are working on some stupid kill switch and it makes everything you're doing to fight the reapers until then feel like killing time because you know nothing substantial is going to happen until the magical mcguffin is finished. This has nothing to do with the Reapers leaving planets decimated. I'm not complaining that Shepard didn't salvage every planet he fought for. I'm talking about bad storytelling and plot structure here.

>Honestly the Arrival DLC itself was retarded
I was hoping that Shepard got tricked into destroying the Mass Relay for no reason, but Bioware didn't have the guts to do that plot unfortunately. Regardless, my point is that it seems kinda dumb for the Reapers to have given a shit about that Mass Relay when they can just fly over so quickly anyway.

>Also this contradicts your other complaint about the Reapers being so overpowered.
I never complained about Reapers being overpowered. I wish they had been far more powerful but fewer in numbers, if anything.

>He fell for the "10293582 endings!" meme

I didn't expect multiple endings, but it would have been nice to see a few missions play out differently here and there depending on choices made in previous games. A few missions here and there having sadder or happier outcomes based on prior choices was not too much to ask.

If I'm reading you right, all of the issues you have are pretty much present in all three games. I actually agree with you for the most part, but I don't get why you're singling out 3 in particular. It has the same number of faults, and a lot of the same faults, as 1 and 2 but just a different tone.

Honestly I'm a bit confused now, because most people who dislike 3 are just edgy shitposters who were angry because it leaned in a more "paragon" direction as opposed to 2's "renegade."

Allow me to give you an update on my status regarding Mass Effect.

I'M STILL FUCKING ANGRY

I feel NOTHING even close to hype for this fucking game
The storyline and universe is ruined; the well is poisoned, there is no going back. Every time I feel even the slightest inkling of desire to play Mass Effect again I just remember how fucking terrible Mass Effect 3 was and I spiral into a grief-fueled rage spin and then I go off onto another one of these stupid fucking rants. Am I autistic? Probably; ME3 was so fucking stupid it made me retarded.

How the FUCK do they think they're going to make another Mass Effect game after the fucking joke that was the last game? Unless the MC of this game is being sent back in time to assassinate half of Bioware's staff before ME2's DLC was complete in order to avert the terrible tragedy of ME3 then there is NO FUCKING POINT in making a new game. You would need to retcon the ENTIRE last fucking game to salvage the universe in which ME takes place.

Mass Effect is fucking over, Bioware is just the fucking asshole standing over the grave of the franchise it murdered, furiously jerking off over 'muh FeMC' while justifying itself frantically to all the other funeral attendants.

I am literally more excited for ass cancer than this game. Fuck you for posting this.

Fallout, Deus Ex and witcher didnt have a conver system that barely works and the ai doesnt even use and no fucking depth at all in its RPG mechanics.
Seriously Mass Effect 1 played like total shit. How is it even good? Its not the shooting, cause you just hold the button till the things dies dps race, its not the abilities cause they're simple as fuck and arent even needed to kill anything ever, and its not the equipment system cause its as simple as equip gun with better damage = success cause they all do the same shit.
Even the mods barely matter, all you ever need is the organic damage and synthetic damage ones. Insanity makes the gameplay even worse by added enemies that use immunity, which effectively makes them invincible and only Warp can potentially counteract it.

Well lets see, they have shown no gameplay demos in the two years they've been shilling it out and it comes out in less than a year with it's original release date being this year. They've have shown nothing of substance and every Bioware game since ME2 has shown a measurable exponential drop in quality.

At this point I'd be surprised if one of the intergalactic explorers didn't mention they were a homosexual in every conversation. Because when you are venturing out into a new galaxy what the commander of the mission really cares about is your sexual orientation.

The fictional characters in the trailer are all far less attractive than the people they showed developing the game.

>expecting quality animations

Remember how easy Archangel was to shoot because his model didn't fit properly on the wall? Any cutscene in any Bioware game has at least a million problems.

The good side about your image? The armor and weapon design look good. The armor is out there, I guess similar to the Cerberus Lasher armor. Glad to see gun designs returning. Colors seem a bit flat. No idea what that amorphous blob is next to the character.

I never expected anything but shit, hence "Not very"

Ryder could be improved with CaC. Hopefully we'll be able to edit their defaults, unlike how they handled Sheploo.

If the would just remove the eyebrows the Asari would be fine, honestly. We've already seen ugly ones, and Liara set a high standard. I wouldn't mind one more less than perfect Asari.

>there is a citadel in the Andromeda galaxy
>this implies there are reapers in Andromeda
Really? That makes it literally impossible to have any relatively ancient race, and means these races are shoehorned into the exact same "stranded" situation as the Milky Way. That is if there are any new species, knowing BioWare it'll probably be "wow what do u know the Asari, Hoomans, and Turians came here wun million bazillion years ago and just woke from cryo after the reapers left makes u think wow so cleaver"

I genuinely like Bioware games so I'm decently hyped. Didn't see any actual gameplay though so its not much hype
>>
Bioware is nothing but die-hard tumblr users, it's no surprise they'd take the Asari and make them ugly.

Think about it, if you were a company putting out a trailer, wouldn't you put shit that's pleasing to the eye in it?

That's the best they have.

Literally reusing character models, only slightly tweaking them

The mercs were. You could see his fat ass neck collar from miles away.

What?
And, what if the Reapers were extra-galactic and harvested both galaxies? It's not impossible, they just trade off energy harvested from each galaxy to travel to the next. Since it would be the height of the Milky Way harvest, Andromeda would be free to grow and develop.

I could see them having a plot point involving Andromeda's Sovereign enacting some failsafe since the MW Reapers were destroyed.

I pre-ordered the ME3 DDE and DS2 whatever versions. Both games I have been massively disappointed in.

Wouldn't say I'm hyped but I want it to be good. I like Mass Effect and want it saved.
