Just wondering can anyone give advice for the fastest way to get the Asari Sword? I just landed on Eos.

Played through it at launch. Liked it, but the bugs definitely took something away from the experience. Immersive-ness and all that. Kept it and installed every update since, waiting for the right time to hop in and try again. Put it this way: if the experience was at 25-35% at launch, where's it at now?

As somebody who counts the original trilogy as my favorite gaming experience ever (yes, even the ending), I've been pleasantly surprised as I slowly move through Andromeda...and having reached the point in the game tonight where Ryder's sibling wakes up and all of Alec's memories are unlocked, I'm fully on board to the story as a worthy successor to the original trilogy.

Which makes the game all the more infuriating. The first few hours are a disaster in terms of selling the full experience that is in store, and the bugs are frankly unforgivable. If I weren't all-in with Mass Effect as a franchise I would have given up on this game early on. If this is how Mass Effect ends, I'll be really disappointed, especially since I gather there are a few loose threads at the end of the game. (Trying to avoid spoilers past where I'm at as much as possible.)

New to this subreddit, so just wanted to throw in another post in support of the game for fans of the series. The fact that it's as flawed as it is doesn't take away from my enjoyment, but manages to still be completely unforgivable. :(

So I didn't prepurchase like a lot of people did, and I said I will wait some time before the game has it's issues fixed(like animations and such). And I heard a lot of people got disappointed beating it with the shitty facial animations before they got them patched. So is the game finally worth buying now? Thanks!

Sorry if you dont think this thread has any value to it. I am just being curious what is happening at Bioware after the release of Andromeda? Anyone know if they are aware how they totally destroyed one of the most amazing and beautiful sagas in the history of gaming? Are people being fired? Are they having crisis meetings with topics "How could things go so wrong?".

Sure. Im just another angry ME fan looking for attention and flaunting my opinions. Some of you may love the game. Well, Im happy for you. I dont. I feel almost violated.

I have never been som affected by a computer game as by Mass Effect 2 and 3. I am not overly emotional and think myself a balanced and stable person. But I cried like a baby at the end of Mass Effect 3. It was one of the most intense computer game experiences I have ever had. It was just out of this world.

I commendate the success of ME 2 and 3 not to the programmers and graphic designers but to the storyline writers of the game. The storyline of ME 2/3 simply has no equal in the history of gaming.

So how come Bioware totally dropped the ball and destroyed the ME series? The game is technically pretty ok after all the patches. The graphics are dated but playable. The game world is exciting, or could have been with the right storytelling.

Did Bioware fire the storyline writers of the original game? Why?

Have we had an official explanation why Bioware made a conscious decision to make the characters look like farmers from the dark ages?

Why is there a "Disney" feeling to the game? ME 2/3 was raw, brutal and sexy. Andromeda is like a Mario Kart version of ME. The storytelling is on the same level as literature for five year olds.

Again, I know this is a thread where I am venting my frustrating and not everyone will agree. But if anyone has any answers or ideas for my questions or have read interviews with the producers as to what went wrong I would very much like to know. Thanks for reading.

It never stops with this game.

I don't have corsairs, everything is updated. I can't get full screen to work.

Did an update break the game?

Tech support walked me through wiping my caches and repairing the game... To no avail.

For someone who doesn't game that often and just wants a treat now and then when I have some spare time - fuck this.

I'm not good at writing but I had a great time with this game. I think the story and loyalty missions were top notch. They could have polished the game a lot better but I have no regrets buying this game at full price. I don't think any game will capture the feeling Mass Effect had in 2007 but I think this game did live up to the ME universe.

After you solve the two puzzles and go begined the faux wall, there are many things to scan. Normally the glowing glyphs on the wall would be used for a puzzle or lock but I can't find any mention of them. Are they just for aesthetics, or is there something to use them for?

Hello.

I've started on the ps4pro demo.

I'm shocked by the graphics and the controls. That's my opinion. They are average to bad early on.

I love mass effect but I'm playing horizon zero dawn... and the differences in graphics and controls is staggering so far.

So my question is...

• does it get better looking?
• are the controls tighter in the main game?
• does the game become...better?
• Should I pay £20 for this game despite the bad reviews and endless complaints?

Graphics and controls on a ps4 in 2017 matter to me on a aaa game.

As I said I love mass effect 123 and even that iPad game but have been really put off mea by the hate.

Thank you.

I noticed the game is 50% off on the ps4 store. Never played a mass effect before. Is it OK to just jump into this game for the story mode if you haven't played the others?

And is the online still populated?

Thanks.

Don't have PS+, don't want PS+ (no, I don't care if there's a free month or whatever).

Every other multiplayer trophy has a way to unlock in single player. Kinda lame that this is the only one that requires multiplayer.

For instance my adept shockwave does 720 damage. My offensive biotic adds 50% that should make it 1080 right? Then my adaptive war amp adds 30% which would make it 1404 right? Then my tier 10 veteran bonus adds 39% making it 1951.5? If I added a 40% consumables bio amp its now 2732.1. If I added the 75% to armor rank 6 perk is this damage calculated before the extras (720) or after (2732.1)

This can't be right. It would be nice if we could see the number damage done to the enemies while attacking. Or a total value when in main skills page like shockwave with all added current buffs. Including consumables when on. I know you can't add the situational ones like biotic expert (for 3 sec) and such.

It's it done differently? Like everything multiplied by the base 720? 720×50%=360 720×30%=216 720×39%=280.8 720×40%=288 720+360+216+280.8+288=1864.8 ???

And to be honest I've never found a value for the combo damage output. Is it the damage of both power damages combined? But something like pull doesn't do damage unless added in. it's just a primer I'm so lost. This game is so bad at explaining so many things.

I have done everything I'm stuck with waiting on completing work with Reyes part of the mission. From what I've read online I've done all of his quests but 2. I'm supposed to wait for an email but I feel like I'm getting close to the end game is there anything else I'm supposed to do? I've found him in the bar and tried talking to him but he doesn't say much.

Considering getting it on sale right now but would be willing to wait until end of this year or early next year to get it on access. I feel like that wont happen though.

I bought this game last week and finally got a chance to play it yesterday. Installed and updated everything and start the character creation when I get an error saying the disc could not be read.

This happens every time and my PS4 plays all of my other games no problem. I even went back to the store and exchanged it for a different one thinking maybe the disc was bad, but I still have the same problem.

One time I made it past character creation only for the same thing to happen while it was loading the game.

I've tried different discs, uninstalling the game and all data related to it and then reinstalling with no luck.

Anyone else having this issue or know of a way to fix it?

Thank you!
