mr. krabs should've been the protagonist prove me wrong
mr krabs runs a csam site as a side hussle
Yes
I'll try this One more time
Idk, Mr. Krabs romancing npcs feels... weird.
You like Keth design and and think that the dialogue is not that bad. I'm done with you.
It's so sad that they never reused the first planet. It looked really cool.
Yeah but it gets named after ryder if you 100% all the planets and they do start terraforming it
I’am playing that mass effect to all missions that’s my favorite games to play, so can you are funny also, you make me laugh all the time I didn’t get your name so I describe you to let you know I love that game. I didn’t know you play that, so am I
Jayvee 800k damage ND1 space car do not go off cliff destroy space . car please don’t.
I know, it has rocks that float. Can you believe that- floating rocks!? Since when do rocks float?
@@MoonMoverGamingum…the rocks are floating.
6 Years. Fuck me. My mom used to say *"When you get older time flies. So make the most of it while you're young!"* She. Was NOT joking. Damn. Good video as always, Jay! here's to the next 6 years mate!
True
I think this only has to do with the fact, that when you get older, you get more and more shit loaded on your shoulders. Like work all day every day, paying taxes, care for your family if you have one. So you are super super busy with stuff you maybe dont wanna really do. And thats what makes time fly. If you had nothing what you HAVE to do all the time, maybe time would feel much more slowly...
Yep time flies….just turned 50.
Noob gamer too 😂
I tell my kids its likely due to your responsibilities and how much a year is in proportion to your overall lifetime. The older you get, the smaller amount of time a year is. Your mind never thinks it's older but your body does lol
It's life's cruel joke. The older you get the faster time goes. You just get pushed along to make room for the next wave lol. I'm 47 and it feels like I just got out of the Navy. That was 25 years ago lol
Best combat in the series, some gorgeous locations and the premise was good imo. Story just lacked and the characters weren’t anywhere near as engaging as OG. The choices you made in the game had little impact unlike ME1, took a lot of the weight away.
yea when you could refuse the characters to join your ship and they just literally force themselves onto the ship, thats when I knew choices wouldn't matter much
so hard to compete with the OT. god i love those games...
Very fair assessment. Unusual for this game lol
I would have made it so that it takes place on Eos for the first half of the game after arriving in the Andromeda Galaxy and seeing all of the planets that they chose for each Milky Way race are not viable for habitation or it's already inhabitanted by a race, then incident on habitat 7 happens which forces them to settle for Eos and landing each of the Arks in different locations on Eos which then leads to the player choosing over time either a military playthrough or a scientific playthrough or a somewhat mixed playthrough
I played the game and the problem where the charachter......no human give in that situation a mere youngling pathfinder the destiny of the ark.The game tried to create a new sheppard without background for that decision.The plot has huge holes like Spaceship without weapons (in another galaxy disarmed ???especially the mysterios man project??' naaaaaa) even the Nomad was totally disarmed in an ostile enviroment.....no logic there!Every decision you make do not change anything or only bit marginally like the survival of the ark commander at last.Good grafic,good battle system ,good menu' for easy craft and play but absolutely bad script for characthers and story logic.
I call Andromeda a fun 6/10. It's a shame it wasn't what it could have been but it's still worth playing and there's plenty to enjoy
For me andromenda was a 7-810, evne with the bugs plus I got lucky the only issue I had was the faces and even then I had way too much fun. I actually preferred andromeda over 1-2-3 due to the combat was far more fun and engaging.
6/10 is quite a hard. Just because it didnt life up to its hype or previous titles doesnt mean its a bad game. There are many other bad games with higher ratings. This game was still better and more unique, interessting and creative then most games Ubisoft has come out with in the recent years.
@@OnlineHipHopTV 6/10 isn't bad. I enjoyed Andromeda and I'm still disappointed we didn't get DLC or a direct sequel.
@@lxfenix Tbh, the direct sequel will be ME4. It's already been confirmed that andromeda will take a role in ME4 but how? we haven no idea yet.
I give it a 1/10. And thats me being generous.
I felt like a glorified electrician by the end of this game. All I did was fix some towers and squash some bugs within my workspace.
They really missed the boat on base building in this game, or at least establishing outposts that felt like real settlements. That first cutscene of everything landing on Eos was awesome. Would have loved more of those just to make it feel like you were actually expanding and developing your colonies.
Your choice also doesn't seem to matter which type of base you build? Or maybe i missed it the differences? What i thought was really odd is you cannot choose which type after Eos. Like it would make sense for Eos to be a science focused base but the ice world planet (forgot the name) would probably make more sense as a military base since their is an active war going on there with the Kett.
@@hankrearden5460 ice planet name I'd I remember right is voeld
Thank you!!!
Modded Cullen isn’t real he can’t hurt me 🙈
I actually wish that the other Ryder twin would have woken up earlier and been a squadmate. Someone you could customize to be whatever you needed.
I customized them all... Sarah, her brother and even their father. I made her father Japanese, Sarah and her brother were a mix of Japanese and Australian Aboriginal, just like their mother. I don't remember if I actually modified their father's appearance as well but I know for sure he looked like Japanese. I did play as Sarah but I hoped I had the chance to play her brother in a next Andromeda which, unfortunately, we won't ever see. I'm so pissed off knowing people buried Andromeda and killed it. I'm gonna miss an Andromeda 2, massively!
@Davide de Muro Dominijanni Father will always accommodate young Ryder.
Certain content and lines in this game feels like they intended this to be the case but for whatever reason changed their minds or scrapped implementation of it.
I can imagine Ryder saying that to Liam.
“I’m gonna replace you with the first alien I meet.” 😂
And then falling right on peebee in a glomp :)
Kaiden, Ashley and Jacobs be like: 😶
Jacob is actually cool, though. Very good party member.

This was my first ME game so I didn't have anything to base it on and I really enjoyed it.
ME3 was the first i played,after that i played Andromeda which i also enjoyed and made wanna play 1 and 2

@@fiwz7840 a lot of people do that tho, I mean who plays far cry 1/2 before playing far cry 3?

@@VandergriftMoefies oh my bad, then devil may cry? the witcher?
The multi-player is severely underrated on here. I had at least twice as many hours on multiplayer than single
That may be true, but people generally don't play Mass Effect for a multiplayer experience.
I used to play with a guy named JumpinProductions. The algorithm hasn’t showed me his vids recently but man he had some inside knowledge on good farming glitches. Loved playing MP with him
yessssssssss
@@JayMaverick it was wildly popular in ME3..do you really not know?
@@IAmWhiteEagle more like mildly popular hehe.
I just love this "We only have one chance to be first" and the whole pathfinder thing in general where even the aliens have learned perfect British English by the time of your arrival.
This was the game that introduced me to the mass effect franchise, obviously i knew that it existed and that it was good but i never got around to playing it. Then i heard that this game was a stand alone story so i played it a bit after launch and i enjoyed it quite a bit tbh even though i knew that i was missing many references to the other games. Now that i recently finished the trilogy since they remastered them i'm thinking about playing it once again cause i'm sure it would be a different experience now that i'm familiar with the ME series.
this was my first foray into ME universe and I thoroughly enjoyed this game but was ridiculed by the fanboys because I never tried the first 3. I have since played thru the first 3 about 3 times and have played Andromeda about 3 times and starting on my 4th. I still enjoy the combat and stuff in Andromeda as much as I have enjoyed the trilogy.
@@scottcunni ME fans are known by that my friend, When it comes to Andromeda's they just become indoctrinated by the old trilogy. All ME games are incredible but they are not perfect. Glad to see more people is giving Andromeda a chance to see if it is good for any new ME fan.
@@ashavellanar1965 I only started playing the trilogy last year, I am now on my 6th play through and I still love playing as my renegade femshep. I tried Andromeda last year and it took me about 4 attempts to finally play through the whole game and I hated it. The characters were just forgettable, Ryder was really annoying and the graphics were awful and buggy facial movements really annoyed me. The 1 good thing I did like was the jump jets and the combat is really good, other than that I hated the game and couldn't wait for it to be over so I could get back to the trilogy after enduring Andromeda for days on end. I'm currently playing mass effect 2 and I am still not bored with it. I love my crew, my girl Liara. I grew to really care about my crew after playing the 1st game so it has nothing to do with their being 3 games. I just grew to care for them even more as I played through the trilogy.
@@angelastevenson15 Oh it's ok my friend. I am one of those who connected with Ryder. Also, I am sure that if there is room to any Andromeda 2 kind of sequel I would like to see how Ryder improved.
Every game has their own weakness. Some love ME2, some hate it, some love ME1 some hate it, some consider the trilogy a masterpiece or others don't. At the end,it is subjective to anyone who is a player. If it is not the case, then everybody would hate Andromeda but that is not the case.
Trilogy has a disappointing ending, ME1 is one of the buggiest games in the franchise even with The LE edition.
@@ashavellanar1965 I agree the trilogy has a very disappointing ending but other than the ending and the combat not being great in mass effect 1 I love the trilogy. I tried really hard to like Andromeda but after hours of mundane fetch quests and bad voice acting I just couldn't like it. Like you said though it is completely subjective. This is just my opinion but I have to say that from most comments I've read online over the last year the majority of mass effect fans agree with me. I do know there are people that like Andromeda but I think the majority of mass effect fans don't like it that much. I would give mass effect 1 8/10 cos of the combat being funky and graphics not being great, mass effect 2 10/10, mass effect 3 9/10 cos of the ending and Andromeda 3/10 and I only give it 3 cos the jump jets are cool and the combat is good. This is just my opinion though.
Gotta love how consistent Bioware is, the first companion is always the worst, we refer to them as "Carths", there's Canadian Carth, African American Carth, Latino Carth, British Carth, and of course Carth Carth.
The fantasy Carths are alright though
Kadian and Liam aren't even that bad though. Jacob on the other hand.
@@kendaldk5634 Kaiden is bland but ok, Liam is kinda lame, Vega is likeable enough, but Jacob... Oof, Jacob is the worst.
Doesn't work with Dragon Age: Alistair, Aveline and Cassandra.
That made me chuckle! I thank you
I actually grew to like the game, although I did hate on it at launch because of the deadpan expressions and such, but being a massive Mass Effect fan, I fell back into the lore and all the exploration in a futuristic setting, which I love :)
Great video as always Jayvee!
Going to the frostbite engine was a huge mistake. Glad they are going back the Unreal for the next game.
I started for the first time a week ago. I love the game. But now I won’t be able to unsee the faces. My favorite is Peebees dialogue in the Nomad while the strong alien dude is sleeping. “Ohhhhhh….. Not while he’s asleep” 😅
I loved reviving each world! I had to try and 100% each one as much as possible. It was so satisfying to see a world come back to life!
It wasn't a bad game, but it wasn't good enough to be a Mass Effect. I really missed the 'pause ability' from the combat.
It felt like a knockoff Mass Effect made with a really sleek engine.
@@billywashere6965 Mass Effect Andromeda to the trilogy is like Fallout Tactics is to Fallout 1 & 2.
@@Art0r1a Ahahaha... that's a perfect analogy.
@@billywashere6965 I've been trying to find a proper way to describe how I feel about this game to people without going on a rant and those words properly describe it.
Andromeda was better than ME1, Y'all always tried to compare it to the entirety of the OT, and that's the problem.
The soundtrack and the sound design is criminally underrated, one of the really good - if not the best - among videogames.
Ehh, it had the best soundtrack out of the Mass Effect games, sure, but Battlefield 1, Battlefield 3, Ready or Not, and Tarkov all have much better sound design. Valiant Hearts, Atelier Shallie, Assassins Creed 1, 2 and 3, Breath of the Wild, Horizon Zero Dawn, Batman: Arkham Origins, Slipstream, River City Girls, Death Stranding, Sonic Colors and Red Dead Redemption 2 all have better soundtracks.
@@billywashere6965 i agree that ac2 and rdr2 soundtracks are better..myabe also ac3..but i'd disagreeon the other one..but i guess that would be personal preference.
In terms of sounddesign..well i don't play shooter really, but i know that tarkovs sounddesign is absolut garbage (for understandable gamplay reasons), i mean..everything "important" is so god damn loud, it makes no sense at all. Battlefield could be true tho, but like i said..don't play that a lot
I prefer the soundtrack of the first Mass Effect game, but Andromeda has a better soundtrack than the 2nd game. I do agree that the sound design is really good though.
I had a lot of fun with it and put a good amount of time into it. Combat I thought was excellent, story kinda spotty here and there but it still did hold my interest for quite a while. Enough to beat the game and I can't say that for a lot of games.
I actually really enjoyed this game by the end of it and have played it multiple times.
Same here, I think of it as a mass effect side story and it gels with me just fine.
nope it was shit
A lot of the issues I had was late game stuff. Having to jump back and forth between worlds for a single item, then hoping back out to another world for a side mission that takes you back to that world again. And then other worlds that either got little use, or to much.
ME Andromeda is what happens when you got too much money but decided to let your brain die. :)
Just up and purchased the digital copy for my PS5 because I couldn’t find the physical copy in my garage, solely based on this video. I forgot how fun the he intro mission was. Now I want to do it all over again.
Biotic Charge in this felt amazing. I don't care how jank the animation gets, I'll never get sick of biotic charging in midair.
There are moments of this game that the graphics are breathtakingly gorgeous.
Drack bustin through the wall like the Kool Aid man was one of my favorite scenes. I freaking love krogans istg. Lol
"I don't like the sound of that"
Immediately pans to the mouse stuck on the screen
this was the game that introduced me to your channel back in 2017
the memories!! 🥹
As a longtime ME player and fan, with over 3662 hours of MEA single-player play. And still with only 99% completion of the game. I am left with many storyline questions.
Questions that BioWare should be willing to follow up on at some point.
Such as
1: Why didn’t every Pathfinder get a scout ship? (Update, I found the answer to this in one of the books). I.e., Mass Effect Andromeda: Nexus Uprising Book 1 Mass Effect: Initiation Book 2 Mass Effect Andromeda: Annihilation Book 3
2: Who is this Benefactor, and where are they now? (Update, I have no definitive proof, but I know who this is and why they are not showing up in Andromeda.)
3: Who killed or ordered Jien Garson killed and why? (Update, I know who did this from the book).
4: Why didn’t the Krogan people get their own Pathfinder?
5: Why is the Tempest not at least armed with defensive weapons?
6: Does the Quarian Ark Keelah Si'yah ever overcome the pathogen onboard and regain control of their ark? UPDATE, I now know the answer to this one after finishing the book. But I will let the most dedicated fans find that answer as I did. (Spoiler alert), Cora Harper could never have become the Pathfinder when Alec Ryder died because to do so required that his replacement be one of his children for reasons that will be revealed when all the memory blocks are removed. That is why Sarah or Scott were the only options for this transfer.
That is NOT the case with the other pathfinders.
And finally, who ultimately becomes the leading member of the Initiative ruling body, replacing the current incompetent group? As well as other less essential story tracks left hanging with no way to pursue them. I love this and all the other ME games, but this one has always held my attention. And I am currently on my umpteenth playthrough. I am dedicated to reaching 100% completion of the game.
P.S. for the channel owner and others that find several things about this game that they do not like. Try modding the game with Nexus Mods. I am running 30 mods with mine, and none are cheats. IMHO, modding is both fun and allows one to make the game more personal.
Thank you for playing this again. I was considering another try at it then I watched this.
I just played through Legendary Edition and then Andromeda, all for the first time (I know right ...). Finished only last month.
I honestly really, really enjoyed all of it. They are ALL really good games.
"She kind of looks like a dumb goldfish" fucking got me
I always loved the combat in this game. Actually been thinking of giving it another go just for that
i know im late but i hate the combat lol ryder always feels like hes made out of tissue paper its so easy to die on the harder difficulties lol
@@garycannon4644 You just lack skill
@jasonbaron4454 someone's upset at the truth. Look andromeda sucked, it's combat wasn't that great outside of having a bit more freedom to pick talents the trilogy was better in everything else.
@@garycannon4644No need for your life story. I liked it, you didn't and that's perfectly fine.
At the time after some patches I enjoyed playing it, good open world 3rd person shooter
I played andromeda first so i can safely say i thought it was a solid game at the time when i had no bias. Didn't feel bored and enjoyed the conversations with the crew, story was a bit vanilla but fine, missions had variety etc. Then i played the legendary edition and understood why people hated ME:A.
A lot of the reasons people have already said but i think the biggest as to why it was so good was the fact that it was 3 games, 3 different story lines, same characters and it all led up to a huge finally. By the time you get to the end of me3 you realise you genuinely have history with the characters. Ran missions with them, talked with them, risked life and limb with them over countless missions and 2 major storylines. its honestly unlike any other experience out there.
Also, Garrus is a legend
This was my first jump into the mass effect world, I never really got into the whole sci fi setting until around the time this game came out and I loved the hell out of it despite the problems. Exploring space was super appealing to me and I loved every second, did new game plus 5 times I'm pretty sure, and God I loved the combat
I've got over 200 hours in this game without even doing any multiplayer. With all it's shortcomings, i still really enjoued my time with this game.
I’ve seen a lot of videos like this and they all end about in the same place. What does this have look like going forward ? Are there great story beats as it progresses ? Does it pick up in the second and finish strong, or is it just mediocre all the way though?
23:05 i love it that they bothered to turn around a gun after thatt epic fail YET didnt bothered to add muzzles/barrels to their gun model
Mass Effect Andromeda was a fun experience, I really enjoyed the game 👏👏👏
This video was so entertaining to watch! What I really dislike about Andromeda besides all the well-known issues is that EA had the audacity to not even fix what was possible over the years. They got so much deserved criticism and they just didn't care at all. Even the most memed cutscenes like with the reverse gun and the tired face still persist to this day. They simply took people's money and abandoned the game.
Yeah, it's disgusting. There was and still is a great deal of potential here, but greed is a hell of a drug.
I really enjoy this game even today. I love the worlds and how much there is to do on them, even if a lot of it is fetch quests - and I love the progression of the planets going from uninhabitable to lush landscapes. I also love the research and development of equipment and how many unique variations of weapons you can make.
The character writing is the main flaw of the game and the fact that almost everyone feels plastic and goes through barely any development - even crew members - really hampers the ability to be invested. I like Jaal though, he has a really cool character.
I love the armor customization
These facial animations are really something special 💀
Literally no worse than any other big open-world RPG...
Were* as i remember they patched it a few months later.
a bug on a triple a game, my god jesus the horror.
@@n7Andy I can't recall any faces like Andromeda's in The Witcher 3, and that preceded this game by two years. Red Dead Redemption 2 also does not have facial animation issues like Andromeda. The secret to their success? Motional capture. BioWare and EA skimped out on the tech and decided to animate by hand instead of using actors who would have provided much more natural and precise expressions.
@@cheesyspace They patched the worst offenders, but even then, they could only do so much because of how garbage Frostbite's development tools were then.
Hey Jayvee! This game does have some really fun combat, switching playstyles up is fun, but it just doesn’t compete with the original trilogy where it counts, characters. It isn’t terrible though. Have you played Control? I restarted that recently and it is excellent. It reminds me of Kubrick and SCP had a baby with infamous
I played the game some time after it came out and most of the issues were fixed by then. It wasn't bad, the combat and movement were good, the main story was decent but could have been so much better. The planet exploration with the vehicle were a bit of a hit and miss. I had a good time playing it, most of the time.
"… but… yeah… we're really gonna need to find a bathroom."
And I nearly died.
This was seriously the only game I ever bought, and returned after playing it for one day. Mind u, I bought it day 1 so it had a lot of problems before they started patching it. It was my first mass affect game. I was definitely dissapointed but after seeing so many other people being disappointed with this game as well and they were fans of the franchise, I went ahead and got the older games and played them and had fun
It's too bad, but with the dev team shunted to Anthem, I knew going in both games were effectively doomed. I still had quite a bit of fun playing it, though.
Played it day 1. This and Mass effect 3 probably have my most hours in a me game. It's just very easy and fun to replay unlike the first 2
still better than starfield. you dont need lots of planets to have a good game.
3:46 "Not gonna talk to any of you coz I know some of you gonna die" - omg that was so funny
Looks like the visuals and performance have improved a lot since 2017. I really learned my lesson with pre-orders two years in a row. No Man's Sky and ME: Andromeda. Might have to revisit this 🤔
Combat was so fun!
I've only played this game once, and I couldn't make myself play it again. I was so hyped and even got the collectors' edition. . .it just wasn't for me. The fighting and dashing everywhere was fun. I liked being able to build your own loadouts with the abilities you wanted.
The gameplay was good, too bad that the story and characters were a wash. It's a solid 6/10 though.
pretty much the only things i liked about it
I'd give it a 3/10 and that is only because of the combat being good. Other than that I hated it. The characters are awful and totally forgettable and I hated Ryder. Also what's with the Cora the wannabe asari, just weird. It was like she really thought she was an asari. No you literally couldn't pay me to play through this again. I'll stick to the trilogy, I'm on my 6th play through of the trilogy right now. Halfway through mass effect 2 and I love playing as a renegade femshep in mass effect 2. She is such a badass. I choose the paragon options for really important things but other than that I'm a total renegade...
@@padmanabhanvaidyanathan7182 its a solid 6/10 now. at launch it was a catastrophy.
@@angelastevenson15you sound pretty butthurt. How did the game hurt you.
One thing that really bugged me was most of Ryder's dialogue is spoken as if it's a question even when it's not
Mass Effect is my favorite Game franchise ever, Andromeda i liked but not loved, when it came out i got like 90% achievement completion on Xbox and over the years i have been wanting to platinum it on PS, i already bought it (when on sale of course) but i always keep playing other things instead because of that feeling of "i could be playing something new", in the end, it is that sense of Discovery of a new galaxy that calls me back, i'm into that kind of thing, Interstellar is one of My favorite movies for example, maybe it's time to go to Andromeda one last time
The thing that always saddens me the most is that the gameplay was actually good, but it wasn't good enough to fix the terrible story, characters, and glitches. I've been replaying the ME legendary edition and have been it makes me realize just how much I can't stand Andromeda.
I never had the chance to play the OG trilogy as a kid so this was my first mass effect. I played it well after the launch, but I quite enjoyed it still. Definitely could've been better, but it could've been a lot worse. I am currently playing through the OG trilogy, both have some things better than the other and i whole-heartedly understand the critisms of Andromeda, that being said i still love it and still want to get all the collectibles and such.
I found it very weird hearing the idle heat ray scan sound from 1953's War of the Worlds film as the Alarm sound aboard the Hyperion
these vacant eyes with that grin will never cease to make me laugh! I think you've described it perfectly, it's like a human goldfish finding everything interesting.
edit: 23:03 oh wow, the gun is still backwards, they just added a muzzle to it! :D
Hahaha. It's not backwards, they flipped the gun, but the whole front piece is missing LOL I guess they could justify it saying Peebee just customized her Carnifex... if it was like that in every other cutscene, which is not the case.
Jay try not to play a bad game challenge....
(IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTY)
What weapon should i use if i like AKs and SKS in non scifi game?
I want to say thank you ! I’ve not played a game in a long time. I happened across your videos when Searching Mass Effect. My favorite GOAT. After watching several of your videos I’ve been inspired to set up my consoles and have a go. It’s been awhile. I’m sure I’ll be spending many of hours watching you videos. So, thanks for your help in advance. DH
listen if you compare this game to anthem it’s really not that bad 😂
Looking back on it, it really wasnt all that bad. Compare it to the train wrecks that are coming out these days like Redfall, Forspoken and LOTR: Gollum and suddenly Andromeda was a polished masterpiece.
You know that word James May made up: "Gopping." Ryder's face in this game is fucking gopping... for the entirety of the game.
Still give me goosebumps to men this game would have been beautiful it they just took there time and gave it love
Honestly, I'm not afraid to admit I enjoyed andromeda. It was an enjoyable experience.
To be honest, it was a good open world scifi game. Just not a great Mass Effect game.
This game is criminally underrated, I love this game sm
Had a blast with this game. Cant wait for Mass effect 5
i respect this video, but can someone PLEASE tell me how I've got saves in this game going all the way back to 2014? (it was released in 2017)
Those spaceships are enormous, I got tired of running around in dumb quests and never finished the game
I would have loved a co-op mode - the chance to play the story through with a friend would have been awesome. Loved it - still my fav of the series - the controls were the best, combat was great. A lot more intuitive than the previous versions. Yeah you can argue faces and expressions - but it's the story the wraps you around it's little finger, and the humour - listening to the conversation between PeeBee and Drak or Cora and Drak for example while hooning about in the Nomad.... Still makes me smile. It would have been nice if the romance side of things had been expanded on - you romance someone, there's a peak, and then, nothing. It's like, hey, didn't we have a thing goin on here? Now you act like you don't know me anymore? Hows about a cuddle, a nice compliment? A bit of whaddaya fancy this evening? The only one that does more than a flash in the pan is PeeBee, and even that's fairly limited. It's kinda like they threw that whole aspect in as an afterthought. But would serve to round the whole story out, flesh things out as it were. After all, there's more to just flying around shooting aliens. How about building a home/base somewhere, something more personal? Where you can stash stuff, display your trophies, breed offspring etc. Ok, I digress - all in all - I loved it, inspite of all its flaws, can't wait to see what they have in store for us in ME5 - the stories in the series up until this point have all had the knack of getting under your skin - but all left you wanting more, and leaving many questions unanswered.
That desert world is still one of the most beautiful landscapes I've seen in a game. I still pop up on my save just to wander about. And that final race in the tank? That's what my nostalgia goggles makes me think the similar sequence in ME was like.
Having said that, it's hard not to see the game as a colossal downgrade: _all_ the new skills created for ME3 muiltiplayer being wasted, a classless system (deifnitely an improvment) that limited you to a couple of abilities (why even bother then?), an "open world" that's dewpressingly featureless, forcing you into charging into your enemy without little to no cover, with next to no verticality to speak of, a premise that completely shatters the cannon, foundational workings and even basic logic of the universe, bland characters, hoplessly naive forced cliffhanger to pitch another trilogy, uninteresting enemies, downright silly references to the originals, just for the sake of milking 'memberries.
It all felt (and played) like an asset flip based around a fanfic. I despise remakes but damn if we wouldn't have been better off with one.
Im sad that well never get to find out what happened to the rest of the Arks 😥 i was actually really invested in that plot point
I got the game on a steam sale for like 5 euros and played through the entire story, still felt rob. Had none of the soul of the old games and even gameplay wise it needed a ton of mods to be bearable. Gorgeous graphics and great combat but in every other department it was a huge step back imo
Its bloody good. It melds the parts of ME1 with exploration and decisions with combat. Your crew now talks, moves around with greater frequency and there's a dark under layer to the optimism you need to explore to get. It was a great spinoff.
Andromeda was a solid "1st game" as a spinoff they can move forward. But no "Fans" spun their turbines and hated every little thing.
@@joegrimes9232 well, if you compare it to the far older ME 1- 3 the story is clearly just the same ol', same ol', just in the next door galaxy.
An evil race who wants to transform every other intelligent life into something else.
But for me the biggest issue was the abysmal quality of the faces. in every dialoge scene i was dragged out of immersion because of the hideous look of human faces.
It was okay. There are really good pieces of the game and story gameplay overshadowed by meh writing and quests. It may have been over-hated by some but, as a whole it was a overall meh game.
While I agree that half of the quests and dialogues feel like american high school in space, There are still glitches here.
Enemies getting stuck inside walls and each other.
Enemies getting confused and just standing there waiting to die at certain range.
Dialogues getting interrupted left right and center because player dared take a step or two from dialogue trigger space. Multiple dialogues getting layered one upon another to the point of becoming white noise.

I would like to see a short game for Mass Effect, and show how Shepard became an N7
Wow, it just hit me, I can't believe I never thought of this...
Is it ever explained how they travel in this galaxy?!
I guess maybe the whole game is in like...1 cluster or something?
Yea I had that question too and yes it’s in one cluster. The Heleus cluster and apparently in andromeda clusters have a shit tone more systems than clusters do in the milky way
@@gnarlyboyjaiin Mass effect they have the mass relay system allowing them to go between systems. In Andromeda are in a single cluster of systems they go between.
What killed Andromeda for me was the fact that I played it right after finishing the original trilogy for the first time. Let’s just say that after the epic saga I had just been through, starting a whole new story with characters I knew or cared nothing about was really underwhelming
Yeah I feel like this was very much a "Death by Comparison" case. EA launching the game half-cocked didn't help, sure, but people came into this single game expecting an experience compared to the entire Shep Trilogy.
@@rafabuda0 the only thing that can truly continue the legacy the Mass Effect trilogy left behind is a fourth entry in the saga. Really excited for Mass Effect 4 in that regard since Andromeda didn’t click with me at all. But also, here’s hoping they don’t drop the ball like they did with that game’s launch because, yeah, that didn’t help either
@@SilverGeFer honestly I kinda don't want that. We've spent the entire trilogy shackled to Shepard and the Reapers and after a single game that gave us the opening for an entirely new area of the universe... we're back to Shepard and the Geth. Again.
@rafabuda0 Do we know yet if ME4 is going to be Shepard focused? I just don't see how they can semi retcon 3's ending to make Shepard alive.
And like what would that look like, Shepard is literally the hero of the universe. Anything Shepard does will have 1 billion+ people following him. Gone are the days when the council just ignores him.
Omfg an RTS, it's totally going to be an RTS.
@@greatmatt301 There was a hidden cutscene at the end of 3 which showed Shepard to be alive, breathing. This was purposely left in in case they would make a fourth game. I think they’re simply going to canonize the Destroy ending which makes Shepard’s revival make sense. I also recall there being a dialogue in 2 about the Reapers coming from somewhere but the meaning of it was left open (probably on purpose too). All this could be the direction of the next plot line, exploring a post Reaper war world and possibly finding out who or what created the Reapers in the first place.
I must be the only person alive who loved this game 💀
I enjoyed it! its the world with human rebels that is most janky imo
Loved it too. Hope they continue the plot somewhat in the next Mass Effect, and link both galaxy plots into one game.
I had a great time with the game. I'm a bit more forgiving then others with the face issues but the story and gameplay was solid. This was my first choice based progress game. It was a great intro to that genre for me. Game got a bad rap but so did cyberpunk. May be time for a replay on PC this time.
Never tried mass effect before but have em all available on xbox game pass, should i give them a go? Also should i skip ME1 and jump to 2 or 3?
Play them all. Start with one x
It was never as bad as everyone said. It does have some rather 'plastic' character animations and it's not up there with the trilogy, but it has a good deal to still enjoy. The soundtrack is also overshadowed by the trilogy, but I think it's terrific.
3/10 for me it was just to booring
Yeah, that was my main issue as well, the game was just boring. The Mass Effect trilogy was not perfect by any means, but it was not boring. This game became a snoozefest really quick.
I started playing this again recently on 3rd playthrough . This is my first game ever playing Mass Effect and it got me so interested knowing more I even got myself Mass Effect legendary edition.
It surprises me when I heard about the reviews about it, it definitely needs an update tho. Had two Jaals glitches together. XD
In meA there's an smg that fires in burst at 1850 rpm, there's also a mod to convert burst fire to full auto, max out that blueprint and go to town, literally nothing can stand up to it, and it made the endgame boss run a complete joke
Do you remember what is called or where to find it?
Another game that does not deserve the hate it gets
I played it two years ago in a row with the trilogy and I had a lot of fun.
I bought it on sale for $20. It's funky at times, but I really did feel a connection. I am more on the forgiving side and tend to enjoy more because of that, but I did feel good playing it.
I think the problem with the facial animations on default fem Ryder is imo that both male and female face rig uses the same animations and it just looks goofy on her face. I had no big issues on my custom fem Ryder, although the animations are still stiff regardless.
One slot super jump one slot gravity pull to mid air then for the last slot use the thrust to send the enemy flying 50 feet away before landing back on the ground....I used to play the hell outta this game lol
4:23 man this is great. Died at goldfish. Subbed.
The intro cinematic and music was like GET HYPE GET HYPE WHOOOOHOOOOOO!
And the next 40+ hours are just realizing how tired your face is from... everything.
23:05 I like how they “fixed” PeeBees gun, now instead of fully backward it’s now half backwards 😂
I love the original trilogy, but Andromeda was fun even if broken, i still hold out hope for the quarian ark dlc to still happen and/or mass effect 5 to cover both Andromeda and milky way galaxies
I started playing it but the problem with me was I fell asleep when I got to the 2nd planet forgot the name. Graphics were beautiful though.
I feel honored to have been one of the few people to play this and Cyberpunk at launch, WITHOUT GLITCHES!!! I truly feel bad for most of you who has glitches it didn’t play because of the bad press.
I’m playing it , and honestly I’m having fun ! Great graphics..and really nice alien locations ( diversity ) who likes sci-fi..it’s a easy go ! many planets to visit with missions…cool 😊
This video started, "It's been..." and my mind immediately went "...one week since you looked at me!"
I basically stopped on the desert planet, because one of the generators would not turn off, and I just quit where I was.
