Mass Effect: Andromeda

[dabestkeptsecret]

Im not that excited about the game yet. The reason i loved the mass effect series was the story and that my choices would have an effect on the overall series
This game is looking like its mostly about exploration and good combat. Good qualities in a game, but not something thats going to make me invest in this game.

I'm sure the story will be good but I'm glad the series is taking this pioneer approach I really thought they under utilized the exploration elements in the previous mass effect games (the whole planet scan thing).

there was nothing on the planets in the first mass effect except random fight scenes

Hence the word underutilized

Planet scanning was horrible

It was definitely better in ME1 when you actually landed on the planet and surveyed them and what not. Not the biggest of deals but still cool to see the planets you can land on.

It was done horribly in both games. I'd be perfectly fine if they removed it altogether. The story portions had enough going on without these side chore missions they added to fluff up the game. The biggest sin was the fact that none of it really mattered in the end.

True, if it led to some great gear and items or mixed in side quests that led to gear and items the incentive to do it would be s lot better. I'd do it anyways because I'm ocd like that

 

[daemonova]

i preferred the ME1 way, i just want something to be on the planet

Somehow I'm going to assume that this is a reboot, no enkindlers (Protheans), but remnants who did the same thing. It sounds like a hard reboot. I warned a lot of people interested to wait for the Let's Plays on youtube, because if EA is behind it, you can bet its gonna be the rape over, it was before.

It's not a reboot, it takes place in the same universe as "ME3". They've said this several times. It just has no ties to the original trilogy, for obvious reasons.

After what they did to ME3...

Still didn't beat it.

Halfway through it.

It said removed from time and space from the original trilogy. You dont know if there are humans living in another galaxy anyways nikka. Maybe we were plopped around the universe by some highly advanced race just because they wanted to see what would happen. Every time you touch yourself and wipe your jizzum into the carpet, theyre watching

I've always said Earth is like Worldstar for aliens.

As far as the rest I get what you're saying but what ol boy is saying is, in the original trilogy The Milky Way wasn't even completely explored. So how did N7 travel all the way to another galaxy? Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away. I understand it's sci-fi but it doesn't even make sense in the context of what Bioware created for the series.
