You never played the dig? Get on it!
22 years after the original? I was curious, so I did some digging. 22 years.

I remember getting The Dig and Loom as a bundle at Costco back in the 90s. Costco used to be amazing for that stuff. I remember getting the cd versions of Sam and Max, Day of the Tentacle and Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis as well as a bunch of Kings, Space and Hero Quests games 2x cdrom and a 486dx66. Good times.

It's a decent read but at the end of the day it's a bunch of industry guys making excuses for other guys in the industry. Pretty much any reason or excuse why things ended up the way did with Andromeda can be countered by the fact that there are many examples of other studios who managed these same tasks without these issues.
We all know this shit is extremely difficult, but it's not a problem only BioWare has to deal with and even they handled this stuff much better in past games, to the point where 10 year old characters are more believable than the shit they released last week.

Plus, not only that... I know I've said this before, I'll say it again. Get your fucking DAI out of my ME. The shitty shitty dialogue. I've just stopped caring.
It's like this. Go down to a planet, do some busy work. Hit three or more remnant sites. Go visit the biggest bad guy you ever imagined! And then go to the next planet, and.... Rinse and repeat.
It just gets old. It's like SW:TOR. I've played the past expansions... It's exactly the same rinse and repeat formula. I dunno if a writer out there just sucks at giving stage direction, or what. But good god. This is where I think that moral choices (and consequences) have to come into play.
As soon as I heard that nobody on your squad could die, I should've said, "Nahh, thanks, BioWare. I've seen this shit before."

Should just rename this to Dumb Shit: the game. Every encounter is the same, squad of enemies lands at your location and magically knows exactly where you are. Multiple times a fight the cover system will just flat out fail. Your character controls like a fucking tank with their weapon out. You spam the same three skills on cooldown. The coolest part of combat, the jump jet, is a death sentence to use unless you play on pussy mode,etc, etc.
Seriously, how the fuck do people actually praise this shit with a straight face? Even the gameplay is absolute garbage. Maybe a mouse/keyboard would make it better but it's jankiest, buggiest combat of any game I've played on the PS4.

The games pretty cheap right now on GMG, got it for 43 last night. I have a feeling GMG purchased a shitload of keys and with the bad word of mouth are stuck with a fuck ton of 'em. While I wouldn't call the game outright dogshit, its a definitely a downer. They complete forgot what made the the series so good to begin with.
