Hey man, I dunno if they're still running the offer but I bought my PS4 on an Argos store card on 0% finance last summer. Works out to about £23ish a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 My thoughts - God, I hope that Peebee isn't the actual name for the Asari in the game. - Good to see they kept the concept of flash fabricated Omni-Weapons from ME3 multiplayer. Hopefully we'll see more Omni-Weapon based "powers" from ME3 co-op like the Frag Grenade Multi-Launcher (N7 Destroyer), the Homing Grenade (N7 Demolisher), and Ballistic Blades (Batarians) in addition to the Flamer. - The Hyperion is capable of terrestrial landings and OVA, so it is probably about the same size as the first Normandy. - So, we're going Star-Lord from GoTG now and we need maneuvering thrusters to dodge as well as jump. - Ah, there is a reload alert on the HUD, so that means he's using thermal clips. AxB is right. His weapons are ME2 / ME3 timeline tech. - There is also a health meter, so we're back to foraging for Omni-gel. - Someone must've complained about Geth Engineers in ME3 co-op. Ryder has a wind up animation before he uses Overload, so no more instantaneous flash arcs that steal your kills before you can open fire.. - I am saddened that there were no opportunities for Ryder to go for a grab in that combat gameplay demo. If they've taken grabs completely out of the game, I am going to be very very very angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 In terms of characters, I think they're going for the idea that this is Mass Effect, but not as you know it. That the characters who agreed to leave the Milky Way behind and start over in Andromeda are mostly outcasts and rogues, and so you'll meet Turians who are anarchists and that. And Peebee rejecting whatever her Asari name was to go by that is an aspect of that concept. Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain didn't exactly send the cream of the societal crop on the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria. It takes rough hands to make a ship go the way you want it to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She goes by Peebee, but it is just a nickname. I assume we will learn her actual name over the course of the game. I believe it was said that the Hyperion is smaller than the Normandy.

J.T. Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I am dumb and have forgotten my Codex. If an Asari has a nickname like Peebee, it probably stands for Pureblood. Now it makes total sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyanide Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 After a generally depressing last few months, hearing that this fucker is dropping in March (of 2017! THIS YEAR!) made me more irrationally happy than anything in a long time. Also: Team PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Most of my ME3 online characters ended with names like "Volus Adept" or "Salarian Engine" (I ran out of characters) or "Stealth Geth". The early ones had names like Ax Blood, Ax Theory, Blood Theory et cetera, but when I realised that your PSN name appears instead of the character name I stopped using variants of my PSN name and started being unimaginative instead.

odessasteps Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I dont even remember at this point. I just recall my FemShep also has Scandinavian name with some ö and ø in her name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 On my first playthrough, I called FemShep Helen, after Dr Helen Sharman (first British person in Space). Some months later, I found out about Shep being named after Alan Shepard (the first American in Space). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 My male shep was named Tick Turd, in honor of Buford T Justice. Femshep was just named Jane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I didn't change my Shepard's name. I'm not sure I will change my Ryder's name either since NPCs will occasionally use it if you don't change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 My FemShep was a Nordic blonde. I named her Caitlyn because I have no imagination. My BroShep was a black dude named Arion after a pretty obscure DC comic book character from a sword and sorcery joint and then came along Arion Foster to mess my shit up. I'd initially wanted to name him Travis after Travis "The Warlord" Morgan, another one of my favorite obscure DC comic book characters. As with all of my African American game avatars, Arion Shepard had a soul patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew POE! Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 If EA really wants to milk Mass Effect, they'd release Mass Effect 1 - 3 Remastered on PS4 (and yeah Xbox One and PC too). For the nutty people that want to platinum/100% or get all the gamerscore again with their new consoles (and make them look great on 4K resolution with 1080p/60fps). I still need to do Mass Effect 1 - 3 on PS3 first, so by the time I get ME: Andromeda, it'll be Black Friday 2018 (or 2019). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of mixed signals being broadcasted whenever that topic comes up: EA always says "we're looking into it," and Bioware always says "don't hold your breath.". The original titles are already backwards compatible for XB1, so Bioware's time is best spent developing Andromeda and if they want to revisit ME 1-3, they can do the next best thing and revisit the pricing for the original games and the DLC. A 20% price reduction would be a step in the right direction. If EA / Bioware / Microsoft really wanted to be awesome, ME1 and Bring Down The Sky would be Free With Gold during the entire month of March.

I have ME2 and already bought the DLC. The licenses are still good so I can download the content as many times as I want to and can play on the XB1 whenever.
