Really m8?

 

I don't call fixing daddy issues the whole time a story.

The thing is that there will be content available with the pre-order that will cost an additional $10 when the game is purchased after release. You know this. It's called Day 1 DLC.

 

Case in point: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour 2015 - get the Waste Management event and TCP Scottsdale course free with pre-order. It's extra if you don't. TCP Scottsdale is a popular course, too.

Hopefully not. Inquisition didn't have this, and it seems like that was a conscious response to aggravation with the practice.

Now, they might nickel and dime with armor, guns, and Mako skins later on (Spoils of the Helius Cluster!), but I think stuff like The Price of Revenge and From Ashes might be in the past.

I will have it preloaded to go live at midnight on my Xbone.

 

 

I'll get the PC version then I can put it alongside the original trilogy.

[Sanunes]

No, I rather not have someone else determine my choices in dialogue for my first game. I will wait for a couple of reviews before buying the game and I hope they did the same thing they did with Dragon Age: Inquisition by lifting the review embargo a week before release.  Now if I buy Mass Effect: Andromeda I plan on buying the game on Origin so if I do have any problems with the game early on I will return it for a refund.

[N7Jamaican]

No, I don't.  I love the ME series thus far, and I am trusting BioWare with my money.

[Natureguy85]

I mean, where is the distrust for Mass Effect coming? They have always delivered a top product (graphic and story wise) and never dissapointed me.

 

 

No, I will buy it and have it installed on day 1 release.

At 57 years old, I have come to realise that my tastes in games is not the same as other peoples. The ending in ME3 didn't bother me.., yes it could of been better, but i really didn't understand why there was so much hate for an ending. Had me totally amused.

 

Cheers

 

 

I dunno, they've had 3 years to move on from an ending that wasn't even that bad.

 

Mass Effect 2 had a terrible plot, the Crucible was ridiculous, and the ending of ME3 was terrible. It went away from the themes of the series and completely dumped the characters from a character driven series. I don't understand how anyone could even be satisfied, let alone like it.

 

I don't call fixing daddy issues the whole time a story.

 

I agree that it was silly to have so many characters have problems with their fathers, but other than that the character arcs were the best parts of the game. The main plot was garbage.

[KaiserShep]

You know, I actually kinda liked the Crucible. Part of me was rather fond of the idea that organics throughout each cycle kept getting away with squirreling away some kind of information that would use the reapers' own technology against them, undermining their dominion. While it ultimately got turned into a potentially magical kumbayah grenade, I thought as a concept it wasn't so terrible, at least insofar that it would use the relay network itself as a means to deal with the reapers.

Agreed, except for the Star Child. Have not been a fan of this concept ever since 'V': The Mini-Series.

Well, technically the Crucible is independent of the star child. Save for the Expository Steamer that the hologram lays all over the platform in front of Shepard, you could literally just replace it with Vendetta and it could still give you the choices like an interactive interface.

I agree but my problem is with how it was discovered, how it was presented, and how we learn nothing about it and still have no clue what it does right up until the very end.

[Sartoz]

Well, for me a (good and long) review (in either a gaming magazine or on Youtube!) will be enough - I don't really like let's plays (why would I watch someone beating a game instead of playing it myself? - I only watch an LP if I don't want to buy the game at all but still interested in it!)

Just so you understand about reviews from gaming magazines. Example: Batman: Arkham Knight PC launch disaster.

 

The reviews were only made for the PS4. Why? Because the Review Release Codes were only for that platform.  Did the magazines mentioned the  platform? No. Want to  know more? google it.

 

 

Motto of the story?

Make sure the review is made for the hardware platform you intend to play it on.

[Navasha]

I have yet to be disappointed by a Bioware game, so yeah, I will be getting it day 1.  

 

Were the ME3 endings sort of a lame way to end the game, sure... but the rest of the game was pretty awesome.     I am also pretty peeved about the Red Wedding and half the other things that happen in "Game of Thrones" but still love the series.

 

No difference for Bioware games.

[Ambivalent]

Nope, never watched them for any game and won't start now.

 

This. Can't i like it more than once?

 

People are getting bombarded with "information" these days. From setting to concept arts, teasers to trailers to walkthroughs to script, from voice actors to decision system, from crafting to whatever...

 

That ruins the fun. You know every single thing about game before actually playing it.

 

People think "older games were better" just because they were more surprising because we had no idea what would come. 

 

I haven't  watched trailers for a few years, ME:A included. I don't read previews, reviews, user reviews, first looks, developer diaries, dev blogs etc. I sometimes check metascore and decide to buy or skip. And that keeps me fresh.

 

PS: Have about 700 games on PC. Only thing i bought and regretted was DayZ SA and that was the first and last time i decided to listen to reviewers, Youtubers, players, articles etc.

[Sartoz]

I am with you on it. I expect the game to be a complete disaster. ME series was done - a beautiful (yes, questionable at some points, but still) piece of work. Rounded up, finished, a single masterpiece. Using franchise again looks like either a desperate attempt to create anything (aka complete luck of ideas and deadline for a new game) or milking that caw dry for pure money-grubbing reasons (a la Star Wars prequels). May be both reasons, but the point is my expectations here - at best mediocre game with meaningless story in familiar environment,  at worst - some sort of "fanfic" about our beloved Universe.

 

Ho, and DAI experience plus very same promotion with MEA now (exploration! mount! graphics!) - are not very reassuring either.

 

Would be the happiest player out there if I am wrong, but as of now would not risk pre-order.

 

                                                                                           <<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

 

Let's not be too hasty about this.

 

Yes, I have no love for DAI's PC keyboard and mouse controls (or lack of) and the moronic AI Bio saddled us with. Yes, I like DA:O and DA2. Yes, I like the ME series, except for the ME3 ending. A total cop-out from the promotional hype... expectations stoked so much that the ending was abruptly snuffed out with no sane choices. A Shep killed for no reason other than to end the trilogy.

 

I believe, Bio will look at Batman: Arkham Knight PC launch disaster and learn from it. Also, I hope that Bio Montreal will not repeat the DAI large open areas and the meaningless forced exploration for elf root and Power Points, boring shard gathering and humping the rocks because the BF3 engine told you you could.

 

But, it appears from tweets and such that exploration is a major force du jour in MEA. Mako or no Mako, this will get boring real fast.  So, unless the Creative Director has something up his sleeve. I see much of the SP game boring. In other words, why am I exploring?  Whatever happened to :

1. Protect your fledgeling colonies.

2. Expand your territorial claims and colonies

3. Build and protect mining outposts

4. Send AI units to gather intelligence.

5. Diplomatic missions?

6. make allies to increase you military strength and influence.

7. Battle raiders

 

In the end, Bio taught me a valuable lesson with DAI.... never pre-order

And this is exactly what worries me! (Besides obvious milking franchise)  Emphasizing exploration again without a hint on motivation. Another Skyrim without it's core function (simulator of the world with huge modding capability, not the story-driven game) and right after the same problem with DAI. The worse thing here - is DAI DLC (JoH), which added yet another plot-unrelated map to the collection of useless maps we had. Meaning, BW continue to think meaningless exploration in the story-driven game is a good thing. (Though absence of any information about sales of JoH might prove otherwise - sales are less then stellar because users had enough exploration already.)

And that hints about going "back to the roots - ME1" where we had exactly that problem: exploration (not THAT horrible as in DAI but still presented in excessive amount) contradicted plot-line, which was supposed to be urgent chasing a dangerous villain across the galaxy!

 

Afaik, the best selling and most praised in press and by players game was ME2, not ME1. Exploration had nothing to do with that sales and praises.

 

Still, if there is no story behind, we are not chasing anyone or preventing worlds doom and gloom - it might work. But the key word here is "might", and so far I do not know a single example when it did. Hope for MEA to be an exception is a hope for miracle. And after letdown with a sure hit I am not so sure about miracles.

yeah I only watch a couple w2atch a couple of minutes or so of things like that myself and that's to have a quick nosey and look at the games graphics and get a general feel of how the game plays . I don't tend to watch too much because I wouldn't want to ruin the overall story for myself.

This exact thread already exists.

Because I sure do. I don't have much hope for this game. With my expectations down I mite enjoy the game. But I'm pretty sure that there's going to be disappointment anyway you look at this game. Everyone is asking for almost everything to be perfect and we know that it will not be perfect. We've got people wanting more out of SP and we've got people wanting more out of MP. I can only see this going bad as they try to please everyone. I feel that buy trying to please everyone, everything is going to get half done and on won will be to happy with the end result. I'm just hoping that Bioware takes there sweet time and gets it done right.

The times when I blindly bougth any BioWare game are over. So yes, I have to see gameplay from youtubers or something before I will buy ME:A. It's becouse I read leaked script about game story and Im not impressed by it. The second thing is, that Im affraid that ME:A will be similar to DA:I with a lot of fetch quests, collecting resources etc. Also I dislike the rumours that  I will have to play multiplayer to get something in a single player game. So I will wait and see...Plus I don't care too much about another game in ME Universe after I finished ME Trilogy and Shepard story.

[dragonflight288]

I enjoy Let's Plays, but only for games I've already played and beaten AND if the commentator/player makes great commentary or can role-play as a character consistently. 

 

I have no desire to be spoiled on the content of a game before I play, and I don't see the point of watching other people make choices I could make instead.

Won't make any difference. Tried that with DA:I and they bullshitted there way through the PC playthrough.

This stuff sounds a lot like a traditional 4X sci fi game.

 

Worries me a bit because this whole colonise and expand stuff sounds like another game format would be better for it. Ok your three guys or AI strike teams make the colonya better place by killing the natives close and personal but still...

Yeah I sometimes watch just to see how somebody else did the game or part of the game but generally I don't look for things like that until I've got at least 1 playthrough under my belt as well.

[maia0407]

Nope. Despite some problems, Bioware makes my favorite games. I don't play many games as most don't meet my criteria for what I want in a game. ME:A is a definite buy for me. I'll check out trailers and stuff but I don't want to be spoiled by walkthroughs. In fact, I avoid the forums during my first playthrough so as not to be spoiled.

Not saying it's great, just saying it didn't kill everybody's dogs, cause global warming, start a war, end humanity, etc.
