Mass Effect Andromeda Message Board  

I've got 3 hours in and I really have enjoyed it, I am trying to spread out my time till monday night but man its a pretty sweet game so far.

It's hard to believe they want so much money for something so shoddily produced. Truly ugly characters, weak lines with weaker delivery, wretched animations, and that many errors? I agree with the youtube comments saying that CDPR should take the ME franchise over. I wouldn't even buy this for 75% off.

this game it isnt that bad I run it at high settings and it looks great I get lost at first but it can be manageable

The game is est about 100 to 150 hrs.

That's about the same playtime as the W3 except the W3 has better animation in my opinion, also they gave away free DLC with the W3, do think Bioware and EA will do that with ME Andromeda?

Frostbite has been out for a few years already so the animations might look shotty to some. However, if you have the anti-aliasing set to max and your card can cover it, everything will be smooth. any glitch you experience after that is an engine fault.

Shoddily produced? Show me an example of another PC game with graphics this good. Yes, even with facial animations this good. Just one. He who thinks every game should be The Witcher 3, which, it bears mention, has FAR worse and more wooden character animations and vastly fewer characters to voice-act and animate to begin with! If you don't like the game based on its actual gameplay, that's fine. It's different strokes for different folks. But if you're going to declare it unilaterally bad and sloppily done, you'd better offer up some proof. For my money, and I pre-ordered after staying up through the night to burn through my entire 10 hour Origin Access because I enjoyed it THAT much, ME:A is a vast improvement both graphically and substantially over its predecessors, over any other Bioware title in the past, and certainly over The Witcher 1-3.

Anyone who has played a Bioware title in the past knows their story arcs take time to get going, as any good story does. Least of all when it is an entirely new and unknown context. I've seen it time and time again on Twitch this week from the broadcasters who had the chance to go to Bioware and play this earlier in the development cycle. Every last one of them has stated that there is a pivotal point in the story after which the game really takes off and which is just beyond the point where the 10 hour trial forces you to quit the single player campaign.
