This game has no cool side content.
The combat basics have improved but suffers from lack of good encounter design.
There's probably 4 teams working on this game
1. The ones designing the gorgeous planets and environs for 'main quest' content
2. The ones animating the characters
3. The ones writing bad dialog and story
4. The ones responsible to populating the output of first team's worlds with 'side activities' once everything is done.

5. those who made skills and weapon and armor mods seem to do adequate job too?
but I take it moment to moment gameplay suffers regardless of that because of just 3 skills (even if you can switch these 3 skills using class system on the fly) and bad encounters

I'm more :prosper: with every NPC head-snapping like a magnet to stare at the speaker on every dialogue.
So fucking inhuman.

It's like they forgot they were making a game.

People go OPENWURL but open world games aren't usually this bad, the roaming content might get repetitive but at least there's shit to do like capturing camps in far cry or doing hunting contracts in twitch3r.

There's no team assigned to skill/power design. They're just regurgitating ME3 skills sets. None of them are really new.
Switching on the fly = aka swap 3 loadouts due to console gamepad by design. :lol:
Fuck this game.

I was waiting for Preston Andromeda to show up and send me a message
Pathfinder, I receive a word from one of the outpost that needs our help.
I'll transmit you the data.
Shit never happened. It was just 'GO TO THIS MARKER N PICK UP DATAPED'
or...'HEY HEY I LISTEN TO ME I AM THE ROBOTIC SUPER AI MCGUFFIN (SAM) PICK UP UR SCANNER N SCAN HUMAN'

Do they watch star trek?
DID PICARD EVER PICK UP A TRICORDER ?
DID KIRK EVER SCAN SHIT HIMSELF?
NO
THEY HAVE SPOCK OR DATA DO THIS
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY'RE THE LEADER
THEY DONT FUCKING DO GRUNT WORK
JESUS

Also I noticed how so much of the conversations are done standing still from the regular gameplay camera. I mean if you can't even put the effort to change the camera angle and location focus on who's talking, maybe you have way too much of this shit.

I'm pretty sure in ANY sane legal system, you can still get convicted for ATTEMTPING to kill someone, irrespective of whether or not your attempt succeeded.
goddamn it biowhore :lol:


> Attempt murder
> My shot misses
> Another shot from elsewhere does the deed
> mfw I only get some community service for causing chaos because I didn't actually kill him
