Zero Punctuation: Mass Effect Andromeda
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
An entertaining and informative video as always, but I feel like a certain point was missed, from the beginning of the video I get the impression that this takes place after ME3, and while it certainly does, as traveling to Andromeda is a slow matter, the journey itself was supposedly initiated before the entire Reaper crisis. That fact being misrepresented detracts a fair bit from the video, at least as far as I'm concerned.
And now you understand why continuing a franchise directly isn't always a good idea.
Strange though. It should have been easy for them to figure whatv to continue off of based on I dunno, checking for a save file. And in the absence give the player a choice to pick.
As for the absence of Paragon and renegad...wtf

Thanks for the video post! Lots of fodder to poke at with this game. I saw one of posts where they downgraded the FemRyder even further after the patch update which makes me wonder exactly what direction they are trying to drive their character development.
It will also be interesting to see how much and how well their patches address several of the player posted issues. I like the whole new frontier aspect and developing settlements. It will be interesting to see if the devs enhance it further or skip the already completed settlements and opt for other nearby planets.

Yeah, he's wrong about that, but since ME:A pretty much avoids the ending to ME3 entirely it really doesn't matter either way. Since you never find out the "Cannonical" ending, I guess you're supposed to presume everything worked out fine.shinyelf said:

I mean look at it. No.Dornedas said:Will you ever get bored of posting that picture?Johnny Novgorod said:That was a fun review, gets me all smiling.
I'll stop posting if Bioware sends me a cease and desist though.
Be that as it may, I'd say it misrepresents Bioware, makes it seem as if the choices we made in ME3 is entirely ignored. I don't really mind criticising the game based on actual flaws, of which there are more than a fair amount, but we really shouldn't conjure up imaginary flaws just for the heck of it.Dalisclock said:
Besides it feels like the game is getting an unjustifiably great amount of hate, I've played about 35 hours, and beside the occasional crash, some annoying unskippable scenes, the strange faces, and Cora Harper I don't have any complaints.
I've come to the conclusion that MEA is actually a fantastic thing. The game's many flaws and the drama surrounding it has provided far more entertainment than the game itself would had is not been such a cock up. MEA may fall by the wayside, but we'll always treasure the memes it gave us.
If Elon Musk wants to make any video game's future happen, it's most likely going to be Deus Ex. He's launching something called Neuralink, to connect human brains to computers.
That's a fair question; that bit in the video made me go "Wait, what?"Worgen said:

I feel as if the Bioware fans are looking at the previous 3 games through rose-tinted goggles.
ME:A doesn't look any worse, nor any better than any of the other ME games, and the voice acting isn't a dip in quality either.
Dunno, I feel the faces/heads were a bit better in 2 and 3, at least as a whole. both Anderson and Hackett looked amazing, while most of the characters in Andromeda look rather plain, not really sure I'd be able to tell an important non-crew NPC from pretty much any other non-crew NPC.MrFalconfly said:Regarding that.Johnny Novgorod said:That was a fun review, gets me all smiling.

Pretty sure people have been using it that way for a while. Though of course that doesn't make it any less confusing as to how it fits or why.Darth_Payn said:

The facial animations in the entire ME trilogy was just as wooden as it is said to be in ME:A. Eyes vacant, and face as stiff as plastic.
like this one from ME:3
And I've yet to see any characters in ME:A (including the much commented about, Director Addison) whose voice acting was as wooden, and phoned in, as Alistair's from DA:O.
