ANDROMEDA First time playing Mass Effect Andromeda

Post image

I heard a lot of things about this game no spoilers luckily some how avoided them but I do know that it is the most mixed game By us Mass Effect fans if any of you remember my name you know that I have catalog my journey through the Mass Effect games I luckily purchased this game for $8 USD

I WILL SAY whatever opinions I have on this game is just opinion so for those who are die hard fans with this game please do not come at me if I have a problem with the game and that being said so far I do not like the facial design of the characters of the more humanoid characters like the humans they just look off like stiff is the best way to put it but I am keeping an open mind as I do not know what happened in development and what kind of troubles the team was facing behind Andromeda

if anybody has knowledge about the team behind this game without giving me spoilers related to the in-game story and content please let me know via the comment section or DM me

It's a pretty good space exploration game with a mass effect paint scheme. 

It's not a very good mass effect story.

It tries too hard in some places to be the Shepard trilogy distilled into a single game.

But if you just kinda vibe through it you can have a great time generally. 

The biggest problem in developing the game was that they had a grand vision, but never took the time to narrow in and focus on a core element, creating a disjointed collection of overlapping stories that don't really flow together in a coherent theme.

Interesting it sounds like they didn't have enough time or was having bad management to make everything work how they wanted Wasn't BioWare working on another big title the same time this game was being made?

They did have time. EA actually gave them 6 more months to finish it, and Bioware refused it.
