MP will affect your SP playthrough like ME3, better do mix of both
*
yeah, but if it's the same concept like ME3, the MP progress will only affect the last part?
not sure if the MP has progress decay like ME3, but if got progress decay, then no choice have to play both alternately.

Replay bro...hehe, I think I replayed ME2&3 at least 5+ times biggrin.gif

haha really..u should play a bit more. the storyline is quite good XD

i got hooked to DAO due to the control and combat system that is a combination of WoW and baldurs gate.
the storyline and dialog is also good, spent a good deal of time in that game.

DA2 change the combat system a bit, didn't quite like the changes but still ok, lots of things made simpler, definitely to suit the console players.

DAI i dunno how liao...maybe i need to play with my xbox controller, but i'll leave that to next time liao lah...for now the hype's all on MEA rclxm9.gif

Even more info if you have not been following the character animation controversy
http://www.polygon.com/2017/3/18/14969390/...ator-harassment

Encountered animation bug in co-op again last night. Advice is to use a skill (if you have it) to break the animation lock should you find yourself in such a situation. warning loud mic and NSFW language.
https://youtu.be/1PdRFobLunQ?t=6m57s

Encountered game audio bug around the 4.29 mark.

This issue is not new though, it's since even when they showcase the first gameplay trailer. They said they will fix it, months later, nothing also  laugh.gif

Maybe they will release a dlc

DLC: Realistic facial animations - $9.99

Why is everyone showing the same exact cutscene with female Ryder and concludes that facial animations is shyt?

eh, those expressions and eyes are good!
ok lah, i sudah forgive them. though i'll still blame EA based on the assumptions that EA isn't giving them more time to polish up the pre-release footage and the first part of the game.

what graphic setting you using?
did you update nvidia driver? they released the driver which has optimization for andromeda yesterday.
i made sure i update that driver before i play the game, so i jumped straight into multiplayer because i wanna see if the game will look ok in low settings and whether will it lag on my system or not.

the automatic graphic settings set everything to minimum and the game looks horrible.
i had to manually set the render resolution to 1080 and display resolution to 1920x1080 and surprisingly it was still smooth for me (i7 920, 6GB Ram, 660ti)
didn't manage to play much yesterday, should have taken leave today...ishhh

Lol yeah, it's really dumb they tie resolution scaling to graphics preset. Low preset will render at 720p upscaled to whatever resolution you are playing at

720 render resolution at lower resolution pun i sudah tak boleh accept XD

Lol...HDR leh...not put to medium, it's at the same page as resolution settings.
I also contemplated on taking leave sad.gif but my options are, pile of paper getting taller or play mass effect
*
Partly I couldn't take leave is because not enough leave d Hahahaha! Otherwise the option of piles of paper work seems good

eh, eh, who's into multiplayer? can we add each other to play together?

bioware anti pretty. Maybe the guy that approves character design is ghey and only approves hot men and hates hot/pretty wimmin

Don't like cora's hair, in fact.. don't like any of the hairs for wimmin. Since haven't encountered any quarian yet.. probably going asari romance liao. Dr. Lexi anyone?  brows.gif

Dr Dorme..err.. I mean Dr Lexi pls tongue.gif

Btw u guys download the mass effect apex hq app?
Pretty useful to configure your multiplayer character skills and load out. Also can assign Strike teams for missions.

But can't add friend from it. Also, is there anyway to change my in-game name? sad.gif

Then came along ME3 which takes you all the way to the top, and then let you go freefall all the way to the bottom only to meet you somewhere mid-fall and gave you a parachute

To be fair, the combat for MEA is kinda satisfying, even more so than previous ME though the cover system could be better. Have to give them credit where credit is due.
*
aye, i can agree with you on the combat part where going in and out of cover feels very fluid. though i find myself doing jetpack jump when i want to hop over the cover LOL! habit from ME2 and ME3.

i'm actually quite torn in my feelings for this series. i became a fan of ME when i started playing ME2, and i still think overall, ME2 is the best among the trilogy, to be fair, i didn't play ME1 to halfway because i just couldn't get use to the slightly different graphics and control system, and also the lack of time LOL!

while i understand that this series was handled by a relatively new team, probably some of them devs didn't even touch the trilogy before. on one hand i am disappointed and sad that such a great franchise wasn't taken seriously, and on the other hand, i sort of half half wan to give the new team chance to grow through this.

not sure if EA is just trying to milk ME fans through this way by making AAA game titles with B quality grade materials, but at the moment this is where i feel it's headed to. i hope i'm wrong in this >.<

The combat is the icing on the cake. For me, it's the universe and how it made me feel. The characters were very important in that regard. The mystery of the reapers were compelling of course, but it's the very realistic universe that BW crafted that kept me going.

Hope that continues in MEA.

QUOTE(gbwedward @ Mar 21 2017, 02:46 PM)
ME1 has the best plot so far, but gameplay is.. well.. not so great for its setting. ME2 improved the combat tremendously while taking out some core elements from ME1.

In the case of andromeda, it feels like they just put full focus on combat and then threw everything out the window  sweat.gif

It's like a pattern. ME1->ME2, improved gameplay, reduced mechanics, ok ok plot compared to ME1 but understandable. ME2->ME3, further improved combat, removed some bloated mechanics, ok plot until the ending. ME3->MEA, revamped combat and movements, everything else downhill, added some mechanics from previous ME but simplified to hell.

Also, UI designer deserved to get dragged outside and shot  sweat.gif
*
yes! it's the characters and the whole universe that was created through ME 1 and 2 that makes it so good.

like gbwedward says, the focus is more on combat action and simplified the rest of the thing, no more paragon or renegade options.
seems like to me, this MEA macam taking out more of the RPG elements out of the game.

me say, bagi chan lah, new UI designer lah...
me to me, THEY ALL DESERVED TO BE SHOT WITH A BLACKWIDOW SNIPER RIFLE
