The character model as a whole just looks like a massive piece of shit. Hey, I hope it's a good game, but I find it hard to believe with some of the character releases & some of these fucking awful animations you can't be suspicious this might be a piece of shit. They are fucking horrible. FemRyder looks like she has had numerous strokes.

Real talk.
I fucking loved ME1. I even spent hours exploring all the empty planets with the piece of shit Mako.
I loved ME2. I did all of the loyalty missions and even spent hours on their stupid minigame of mining all the planets.
I loved ME3. I did everything there was to do but the whole ending fuckup debacle ruined it for me. They fixed that eventually but it left a bad taste in my mouth.
I want to love this game and would love if it was game of the year 11/10 etc. It just looks like a giant pile of shit right now and I really hope it's not. I'm definitely rooting for another awesome game in the ME universe, just doesn't feel like this game is it. I hope I'm proven wrong.

Lol. Nightmare mode gives you downs syndrome, Parkinson's disease, terets syndrome, erectile dysfunction, AND you aren't allowed to skip SJW sermon cut scenes.

The one thing that is a turnoff to me about this game is the sibling protagonists; in the ME Trilogy Shepard was already a veteran hardened soldier that commanded respect. The Ryder twins are the child-brats of the leader of an expedition. It's like the Western version of the main character in a JRPG where they go through self-discovery and conquer the Andromeda galaxy with the power of friendship.
Come to think of it, I'd rather play as the father. "Stop fucking crying and go down to the surface and pick up some soil samples." *Taps renegade button and slaps Male Ryder across the face for being a whiny bitch.* "And take your sister with you!"

That sounds better than the Assassin's Creed Syndicate style sibling disaster Andromeda is starting to look like.

this makes the game look better. This is a roller coaster of a ride!!
I think I'm mostly disappointed that Bioware didn't do the "right" balls to the wall move: your ship is the only one with beings from the Milky Way Galaxy, and everyone you encounter is a new alien race. Thats what CDPR (witcher 3) would have done with this game. Bioware took the safe route though, and i think ultimately its gonna make it feel like a bit of a neutered game because of it.

I think that is more or less intentional. After the corner they wrote themselves into at the end of ME3 they basically went the soft reboot route. So you get races you know and love and some new races as well. I am pretty okay with their choice and we know there are at least two current races unique to andromeda and at least one precursor type race that may or may not still be active anywhere.
Also they basically had a set of colony ships going as a group. Some of this is because if you look at turians what they need food wise is not only different from but toxic to humans and visa versa. It makes sense if their physiological needs are that divergent to have their own ark.

That's what I'm thinking. The AVC table is, not just looks like, but it actually is Inquisition Perks pulled right off the shelf. Add to this the amount of crafting (*cough*grinding*cough*) you'd have to go through, both with the scanner and just picking stuff up, ugh.

It looks like Gears of War IN SPAAAAACE I mean A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAAAAY.
They've turned it into a linear cover based shooter.. and you get to carry your cover around with you.
Yeah, I know. ME2 and ME3 were cover based shooters. But they sort of had a plot, at least. Even if it descended into drivel. Looks like this one is gonna start at drivel with game mechanics that other games do better.
We ain't shittin on it just to shit on it. It genuinely looks bad.

So the essence of your whining is that Mass Effect is a cover based shooter. Are you new to the series or did you play through 3 games and not notice this?

Well, let's add lolevels to this.
lolevels = unneccassry levels. "lol, don't need it, don't even want it. Don't have space on my bar for it. Don't need it complete the game." Look at any DAI youtube video (or at least the majority of them). You'll see that the little icons have an arrow pointing up in them. This indicates that the character has reached "lolevels."
This has been a main design point that BioWare has been tossing around. Oh, you can keep on leveling! Doesn't matter! Well, it does if we get to lolevels after level 20. Wow, we can reach level 100? Wow, so we can get 80 levels of useless points? Oh mah god!
I put a couple'a feelers out there for people to ask about this, as I don't care anymore.

What a cunty rejoinder. He isn't the the only one wanting a bit more than Gears of War in space. I'd personally like Mass Effect in space, because, y'know, it's an rpg series.
Maybe I don't play enough of the modern games but overall this looks pretty good. Kinda refreshing there isn't some super heavy - doomsday scenario pushing you from place to place... Explore the worlds, gain resources, etc. My only worry is player control and the limits on multiplayer.
