Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

This is one of those really strange games where the more I hear about it... the more ambiguous it becomes.

I played an extreme amount of ME3 multiplayer, and those who were lucky enough to play with me in that time period know I was the champion fucking sniper who could carry the entire team for days. After watching that video I can't help but think that when I try ME:A multiplayer it'll just feel like the same stuff except I don't have all my cool weapons unlocked and I won't be able to get into it.

I played Biotics, nearly exclusively (aside from dabbling with the Geth Techie) in ME3 MP. Depending on how cooldowns work in the new one, they might be the easiest to pick up (again) of the existing classes. I wonder if they will keep the detonator chains intact, because that was my bread and butter. I was one of the few people playing a bubble Asari and would regularly team up with another Asari biotic who knew all the combos. We would just melt shit and let the snipers handle the banshees and objective grabs.

I normally hate MP in games, but I am really looking forward to it in this game, because coop MP modes are severely lacking in games these days.

People are actually buying this day 1?

Not all of us are as jaded as you. ME is the only shooter franchise I even remotely like (unless you count Neir) and I already know it will be money better spent than what I blew on Torment.

It is, but its also easy to jump aboard the internet hate train on things (and the first ending of ME3 did them no favors on this front) and get wrapped up in hyperbole. DA:I had a lot of bad press leading up to it and wound up being a solid game, for the most part. The graphic complaints are dumb, because often games with ridiculously bad physics engines (Fallout4) or awkwardly animated models (Nioh) end up being good games. This game will fail or succeed on its story and gameplay.

Not jaded. I realize when publishers and developers push out shit. Horizon rocked. But also know why it was going to? They didn't embargo the review and had plenty of transparency before release. This? We are only seeing Information flow out now. A cancelled multiplayer beta because they were afraid of more bad press and, well, you get the point. If they were confident, Information would have been all over the place for a month now. Which means one of two things or both. It's rushed to shit, or they aren't confident in their own product and are trying to protect day one sales. After horizon and Zelda we need more games like those. Not rushed garbage to hit a quarterly sales push for EA or Ubisoft.

If that's jaded, calling a spade a spade, I'm jaded I guess.

I'll wait to see what you all think obviously. I liked all three mass effects. Only finished one and two. Bioware lost all their good writers so hopefully someone pulls a bunny out of the hat. But I doubt it.

Anyone buying this day 1 deserves to get burned. This game is chucking out warning signs like a first date asking you how you feel about gonorrhea.
