The Man Known as Dan Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 After a day it's... Not awful or anything. It's a fine game mechanically and the gameplay is fun. That said, couple things I noticed. ME1 crew and important staff on the Normandy: Joker, Ashley, Kaiden, Chakwas, Pressley, Adams,Garrus, Wrex, Tali, and Liara. ME2 crew and important staff: Joker, EDI, Miranda, Jacob, Kelly, Garnder, Chakwas, Donnolly, Gabby, Mordin, Garrus, Jack, Grunt, Tali, Samara, Thane, Legion. ME3 crew and important staff: Joker, EDI, Kaiden/Ashley, Vega, Traynor, Adams, Chakwas/Michel, Adams, Ken and Gabby, Garrus, Tali, with Wrex, Mordin and Legion having extended runs on the ship with cameos from Miranda, Jacob, Grunt, Samara, Thane, Kirrahe (fuck yeah), and Jack. None of that includes major side characters like The Illusive Man, Anderson, Udina, Parasini, Aethyna, and others. Here is the list of crew members on the Tempest I could name off the top of my head before I played yesterday. Vetra, Peebee, Drak. That was it. There was a giant blind spot that was literally 2/3rds of the crew. The cast didn't make close to the lasting impact the original series did. Also, the Kett are shitty bad guys. Like, very very shitty. Generic as could be. That said? i actually like Ryder a good deal. I think fem Ryder at least makes a really fun main character. She can view everything around her with a sense of wonder, which works. Also, she is young and in gigantically over her head. I like the contrast to Shepard there. If they did one thing right, the character of Sara Ryder might be it. But damn this game just doesn't have enough options for something. Back in ME1 you and Ashley can have a conversation about god, and it gives you at least 3 options about what your character believes, from beleiving, not believing to accepting, to saying believing in god is silly. In Andromeda, they skip the middle option. You know, the one that doesn't make you look like an asshole. That is dumb as hell. Overall, I'm gonna keep playing, but.... Eh. Combats fun.

At least I'm not completely against the idea like playing Skyrim or Fallout 4 again. It took me a long time to remember what an Avenger actually was. Only way I did was by thinking "what would Stout use? Of yeah, the invisible, stabby fucker." Basically we should have just named the Avenger "Dan", and been done with it. I kinda thought about trying again a few months ago, but never did bother. It would be kinds interesting to try as a different type of character, since I only ever used the base soldier for Andromeda (and ME3, for that matter.) If I ever got that far, I'd probably just end up playing the original games for the nth time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Don't care, that multiplayer was a blast. I could go between leading a pack of low-level guys through golds to being part of a late-night crew playing Platinum random random over and over again, knowing I could at least hold up my end. From where I was at the start to where I got to was just a blast. I'd only really like to play single-player again to court Cora this time.

The Man Known as Dan Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 So, still playing this, actually. And it's fun. I will beat this game before 76 or Red Dead officially drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I'm finally playing it now, despite it being on my PS4 since launch, I never got beyond meeting Peebee on Eos the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I thought about playing a couple of bronze matches so I could Billy Bob Badass around multiplayer like I used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I'm pretty sure the only people still playing ME:A multiplayer are going to be so good at it they solo platinums easily. If it ever shows up on PS+ or Games w/Gold, that should expand the player base for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Heck part of me wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a Xbox game with gold next month to help promote Anthem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Amusingly, I once again have returned to Mass Effect 3 multiplayer and still have no problems finding full room at any of Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Also, finally got the Drell Vanguard, which means I only have 3 characters left to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
