But i bought the game for the story..for SP, not MP

i know sad.gif
that's the reason why i bought it also and also the reason why i didn't play SP now, cuz i dun wan the half baked SP to ruin my experience. so i rather wait them to fix it first before going into the SP game.

really pissed at EA for this...

What's wrong with writing? It's not on par with ME3 yes...but it's not exactly horrendous...its more or less around the style of ME1..

to be fair, i only heard feedbacks from others laugh.gif

btw, i'm not sure if the patch is already released or not?
i left my pc on for the past couple of days

Lol..yup need to experience it first hand...I have found that most of the reviewers are either brain dead or have expectations of this game as high as mount. everest
Everything I have seen so fat is mostly contradictory to what they said.

Patch 1.04 was launch day patch.

alright man, let me be my own reviewer LOL!
will adjust my graphic settings again and then go wake myself up from cyrosleep

Btw, checkout this post, really explains a whole deal on the tired face and druggie face in the game.

BSN Animation Explained ME1 Animator

ahh that's a good insight as to what kind of situation the animators are in where the non-game devs and public didn't know of. thanks for sharing that! biggrin.gif

with my limited knowledge, i'm still blaming EA for this laugh.gif definitely the bioware team are working with limited time and resources.

EDIT: yesterday played MP with demeter82 haha! both me and crazee were using discord to talk as we are used to it when playing Overwatch. also i disable andromeda's in-game voice from other players because i can't stand those ppl who enables their mic but not talking to it but instead let their speakers or fan or keyboard do the talking. the interface to mute ppl isn't really helping or working. the lack of in-game text chat makes it hard to play with friends together dry.gif

Played with demeter82 for 2 rounds but had to leave to do some work. :/ I'm starting to wonder whether the in-game voice chat causes me to crash more, because I noticed when I crash, usually there's someone transmitting or speaking in game.
On a side note, i miss so many things in the ME3 mp, heavy melee, grab executions, extraction at the end where you can see the ship actually fly in, smooth melee animations
*
so far i didn't crash before even with the in-game voice enabled.
i just simply play with the settings by changing the voice output to an unused port on my soundcard.

...ugh...why u have to remind me of those good stuffs cry.gif

By pulling plug I mean, release fewer content and fixes before withdrawing support and moving on to the next game/sequel

In my experience with Bioware/EA games, they've been doing that a lot these few years  vmad.gif

probably when bioware come up with new game, then pull plug hmm.gif

Then every "expansion" will be priced 39.99 or 49.99 with 1 new character and 1 new map/area  icon_question.gif

because real life is preventing me from waking up from my cyrosleep in the Tempest for now LOL!

Actually I don't mind paying for DLC as long as I feel it's worth the money

EA has a tendency to release a DLC with 1 map and a few missions which can be completed in a few hours and charge $20 for it  laugh.gif
*
yeah, as long as it's worth it.

and the overall gamer's community is giving EA the power to do so cry.gif

EDIT: do so as in give out incomplete game while charging full price, and then release DLC with almost half price of the game while adding a fraction of gameplay to it and yet ppl will still buy them

This game's mp netcode is even worse than frigging For Honor. And For Honor was damn bad, look at the shitstorm the reddit is. But this game...... tops even For honor. kept getting crashed at wave 6 3 frigging time.

Spent an hour trying to finish one frigging bronze match. But nope, crash crash crash, every time at wave 6.

This is the more legit reviews i have seen so far on ME:Andromeda, elaborates both the good and the bad, unlime most of the reviews out there who are just blasting and nuking. MEA Kotaku Review

i haven't click on the link yet.

but here's my take on the SP mode. WALL OF TEXT INCOMING!!!

the same as most of the players, i too heard of comments about how bad the single player mode is.
but yesterday i've manage to convinced myself to really wake myself up from cyrosleep.
i admit i had some struggle at first, i didn't quite like it because i'm finding myself comparing every second of the game with it's trilogy. the game actually make me miss the normandy, the crew of normandy from 2 - 3, and of course commander shepard. the ryders (i didn't mean you ryder tongue.gif ) didn't have the look or feel of a leader or a hero like shepard. probably that's what they want to do? to give a message that everyone can be a leader/hero. time and time again, i thought in my mind, "this could've been done better".

so that's how i struggle through the first hour of the game.

i grit my teeth and played through it. but slowly, i allow myself to immerse into the game by stopping the comparison or accepting that this is not mass effect commander shepard's story anymore. i slowly start to enjoy the game better amidst the game's UNPOLISHNESS, that i have to strongly agree with everyone else.

however, in regards to the write-up or dialogue, it didn't feel bad or cringy. i mean i've read some game novels written by different author, and i can tell which author has better writing than the other. i've watched enough movies that my body will cringe when i hear awful dialogues. in all honesty, it didn't feel that way. it definitely falls short from the trilogy, but not that far off.

the facial expression didn't feel that derpy actually, but then again, my rig can't handle the high settings of the game, but that really didn't bother me much as i was more focused on the game itself. oh, the voice acting is alright actually.

now that i've addressed the common problems that we heard about the game, let me tell you about the things that the public never really mention.

the exploration. the detail of the planet you are allowed to explore is...off the world tongue.gif
planet exploration in the trilogy series are just a small area. this is...almost open world. i have to say that they did a really good job in detailing the world, which i believe is where they spent most of the time on. (i also understand what ChocChristy meant by the resource mining being tedious LOL! i would say it's a bit like WoW's mining profession)

i played continuously for practically the whole saturday. that's how addictive it is for me, i just can't stop myself from wanting to find out more.

overall, i can say this is an enjoyable game if you lower your high expectations for a polished game and don't microcope into every problems.

Yeah, the mining. GOod grief. But it's immersive la. I like immersion and the little little things in games. But sometimes it does get to me. The whole traveling to different planets to mask the loading is pretty and I love looking at the whole space and starts etc blinking in the back. But it's still annoying. Especially the last part of the animation where you reach the planet, then stop few seconds, then zoom back out, felt that it was unnecessary and didn't really fit the whole feeling that you're flying there that well. I can spend hours doing mundane stuff in Skyrim like walking around in town, sitting and eating, sleeping etc. SO I don't mind some stuff in ME:A for immersion sake, but this really a bit.. tedious for me.

Otherwise, okay la, still enjoyable even though writing and dialogue feels weaker. I just reached Eos after playing so much MP and scanning all the planets and side missions in SP.  laugh.gif
*
yes, there are those unnecessary stuff that adds "delay" to our game play.
some of the interface and transition are somewhat clunky, that's why i say it's unpolished.

i have just completed whatever mission i can in Eos tongue.gif btw, there's a certain mission you might need to look for guide...i won't tell you which one XD
