Mass Effect: Andromeda Pre-Release Thread

[pippin]

That happens because they don't know any better. One of them mentions D:OS, but I think they would be very happy playing Ultima 7 or Arkania games.

As much as I love to bash on Bioware, I think you're all greatly misunderestimating Bioware's creativity level. The alien boinkahontus won't be blue or green - those've been done to death. No, they'll be pink.

And they will have a totem animal. And shapeshift at will.
It will be a struggle between a multi-billion-credit company hiring a bunch of mercs to take over a lush planet, rich with energy to exploit and is in the center of a 3 way contest of super powers.
Only with the help of the player can the Soularians survive this conflict and find their place in the Galaxy.

If they can shapeshift into Scarett Johanson would bang 10/10 :D

They can, and they do, but they retain their original species' 23-inches, bone-ribbed dick. Would you, then?

Spoiler

It is no longer Scarlett Johanson than, is it?

Well, how do you know? Have you actually felt the real S.J. up? For all we know, she might have a dick.

There are naked scenes from a movie of her. She has none

Ever heard of post-production? XD

Now you are reaching. Don't try to cover your internal struggle between your homosexuality and your wants for SJ this way. Release yourself and be free.

I don't think one guy on Neogaf spending 100+ hours of time on ME will make the whole community there a pile of crap. Sure they are more AAA focussed, but they ain't THAT bad. I do however hate their orgasm topics about shit like The Last of Us which is a good "rpg" according to some of them and totally the "best game of all time".

Bah, it's disgusting. I do however also remember posts bashing DA:O and Mass Effect 3 on Neogaf. It's a huge community, probably at least 10 times as large as our little abode here. Don't judge them on a few posts, they are pretty swell compared to shitholes like twitter, youtube, reddit and 4chan. Also, there's people spending their whole life on facebook "rpg" so why are we surprised?

I cannot imagine how anyone could like shardism. It's like the very definition of un-game. Collecting for the sake of collecting without any or with negligable profit. And it grows larger and larger with each game.

This is why I despise it. I'm an autistic retard who will collect 1,000 herpdongs if they increase my power by 1%, but fucking nothing? I think I even understand the design impulse around it. Some guy at Ubisoft is like: "Oh man, people are complaining that they feel obligated to do all these side activities. How can we fix this? I know, let's make them offer absolutely no rewards!"

Uhm, not really sure what you mean. I guess I'll have to ask urmom.

Not that anyone much cares, but apparently the next location of the Mass Effect games is the Andromeda Galaxy.

Wasn't expecting that one.

 

[pippin]

Well they already stated there will be nothing from the original trilogy in ME4.

Now we'll never know what Tali's sweat tastes like.

EDIT:

Ostensibly the plot asserts the protagonist is some kind of "pathfinder" who is supposed to lead a human colony ship to expand humanity's presence in the universe; you have to pursue alien technology and establish relations with native Andromedeans in the cluster of solar systems you've been sent to.

I suspect the game takes place so far into the future that Green Ending has happened no matter what, since Star Child claimed that it was inevitable that organics would become partly synthetic due to the nature of evolution in the Mass Effect universe.

Your guess seems to be true IIRC.
And also during a scene with drunk Tali she says something like "it tastes like sweat, why whould you even ask that?".

This actually sounds interesting. Why is BioWare in charge of Mass Effect?

Since there is unlikely to be a news update, here is a link to the survey that got leaked:

Mass Effect 4, aka OREGON TRAIL IN SPACE.

With romantic spaceship explosion.

 

[Diablo169]

It sounds interesting but it probably won't be. The exploration and path finding will be implemented in the most boring way. I'm thinking galactic readiness rating or the war table in Dragon Age Inquisition.

 

[pippin]

It wouldn't be teh first Bioware game to sound amazing on paper yet bullshit on practice. The only thing we got from ME Trilogy's space exploration was a childish joke about probing Uranus.

http://www.gamerheadlines.com/2015/06/bioware-mass-effect-4-will-not-be-a-prequel-or-a-sequel/

In the weeks leading up to E3 2015, Bioware has confirmed that the next Mass Effect game will not be a prequel or a sequel.

The confirmation comes in the form of a twitter response by Chris Wynn, Mass Effect 4’s Senior Development Director, to a fan asking whether the game would be a prequel or a sequel to the already released titles. Wynn responded:

@Thatlobsterman not a prequel, not necessarily a sequel either.

— Chris Wynn (@The1Wynn) June 1, 2015

The title not being a prequel is self explanatory, but the “not necessarily a sequel” part could mean a number of things. The game could be an interquel, or, as some fans have theorized, this could Wynn saying that the Mass Effect title will be a stand-alone sequel that doesn’t follow up on Commander Shepard’s story from the original trilogy.​

 

[theSavant]

Good, that it's independent of the other 3 parts. Couldn't make myself interested in this corridor shooter.
Also I hope it features 1st person view. The shoulder perspective makes me cringe.

What a waste of bandwidth. One of the first things confirmed about ME4 is that it will have nothing to do with Shepard.

I wonder if this game will also let you craft and build things :D
At least it looks much nicer than F4.
