No, Andromeda is still garbage in the same way that the Star Wars prequels still suck. Veilguard did not magically make Andromeda any better just because it's a worse game, kind of like how the Disney Star Wars trilogy being awful didn't magically fix the tone deaf writing and pacing of the prequel trilogy.
@@gigaatom I never thought I would defend Andromeda but here we are lol, as someone who has played both franchises to death, and played both games multiple times now, I can say with honesty that Veilguard is infinitely worse. Andromeda is the devs and writers trying to recreate the magic of the og mass effect without putting the work into actually build the relationships with companions, with a combat system that uses 3 abilities instead of 8 but improves up verticality in its level design, character models in the game are also wack but to its credit it never tries to retcon any of Shepard’s story. Veilguard on the other hand fundamentally changes, retcons and disrespects everything that made dragon age unique, with a combat system that has no substance and dumbs down the tactical combat from previous games, companions that make you cringe beyond belief with some of the worst written dialogue I have ever heard or seen in a video game, RPG mechanics that are downright laughable, and a wasted storyline about one of my favourite BioWare characters being Solas, who was sidelined in a game that should’ve been about him, and character models that are designed by people that don’t understand that humans, elves, dwarves and Qunari are different races and are not supposed to look like humans cosplaying. I could write paragraph after paragraph about everything wrong with the Veilguard but I have to save some for my critique of the game that I’ll be releasing soon. I respect you sharing your opinion and I would imagine you probably enjoyed playing veilguard more than Andromeda which is fair enough, but Andromeda pales in comparison to the amount of issues that Veilguard has, and make no mistake Andromeda is a disappointment to be sure but Veilguard frustrates me in a way that I can’t put into words lol 😂
😂🤦🏽♂️only thing I want them to take from Andromeda is the combat everything else noooooo I couldn’t do no renegade playthrough which what make mass effect so unique
played this on console on release, now on pc, and never considered buying it, til i watched this video, got it on sale on steam. Your showcase makes me wanna visit andromeda again, ty
No worries at all bro, you'll have a much more fun time with it for sure, if you have any issues with certain mods feel free to drop a comment as I've troubleshooted many of the mods on this list and enjoy your next playthrough!
Thanks for this. Andromeda was my first ME game, it's likeable on its own merit - but now I'm going through the trilogy I understand the comparisons. I look forward to going through it again with some mods to keep the feeling.
I never heard of anyone's first Mass Effect game being the one not part of the main trilogy. Your comparison will be very interesting, as nostalgia won't be a factor for you.
@@CrackFoxtrot24 Very true, ME2 was my first Mass Effect, never really considered it to be the other way around lol interesting observation nonetheless!
@CrackFoxtrot24 I think the nostalgia factor does ruin the game for some, but I think it holds up on its own well enough. No game is perfect, but it's enjoyable.
Vetea and Drax were the best parts of Andromeda. Vetea makeing you a steak is one of the most wholesome thing ive seen from romance options. Drax pulling a koolaid man just to laugh deeply and say "Hi"
Andromeda is the only Bioware game I only finished once. This list makes me actually wanna finish it again. Especially with slowly emerging news of ME5. Loved the combat, was super unimpressed with the story and Ryder as a character.
Not trolling you, but do you REALLY believe that ME5 will be better than Andromeda or Veil ? Take a deep breath, get a life and move on. I guarantee you that ME5 will have its breast removal scars, trans toons, flat chested female toons, constant indoctrination and shaming you because you are a white male Christian.

Hey there bro, yes that is definitely a mod! I believe it might be the profiles reworked mod but if it's not that, then it is definitely one of the other combat mods that I recommended in the video!
I need to see the comparisons for the visual mods around 10:30. I haven't played the game in a while, especially since getting a PS5. Not being able to control your allies was a deal breaker. Miss the multiplayer, but the input delay ruined the game for me more.

It’s a shame that people dumped on it so harshly that we’ll probably never get a continuation to andromeda’s story like what people did with Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man but it happens
There's many more fans of this game then you would think bro, and I get you man; finding time to game can be pretty difficult with work/family, which is why people should play whatever games they want and not listen to youtubers like me lol

I can only play fem Ryder because male Ryder just looks ridiculous. I've spent hours messing with mods trying to get an interesting male Ryder... I finally gave up trying to fix him.
This video is very much to showcase the work of these talented modders and for those that will play the game before Mass Effect 5 so they can enjoy it to some extent lol
What about some of the mods that have notifications saying mod was designed for a different game version, it may or may not work should i just install it regardless?
@@Val0r468 it will still work, it just means the games been updated past the current version of the mod but every mod in this video was tested on the current version of Andromeda! 👍
I think this game still is mainly because Andromeda actually has some good things about it and people hard defend it.. I played the ME trilogy like 5 times and I played Andromeda 2 years after launch because of the bad reception pulled me away.. and I didn't love it but I didn't hate it it's a solid game just frustrating knowing what it could've been
When the game was released I did not played too much with it and not finished the game. These mods sounds fun so maybe I will give another chance to the game. My issues mainly with mass effect is the strict story and I would liked to play a mass effect game where you play a no name chaarcter and be whatever you wish to. Play a race you like, make a custom one and get to the top. Sort of like Kenshi.
Thanks for watching, and I definitely see your point, it depends on the kind of rpg that you like, I personally don’t mind both if the writing is solid and the game prioritises player choice!
@@lordology4815 I do no have story driven rpgs nor sandbox games and to this day my favorite rpgs still BG2, ICWD1-2, Planescape Torment, Ultima. Still there are many here and there also good arpgs, point and click and adventure games. In mass effect the only thing I did not liked is the limited choice while it is a good to play a specific character I feel comfortable if I can play as a random person who may be or not important on the story. Some mmos in this case are good because let more freedom on what you can do and you are not a important for the story. Kenshi for example is a singleplayer game where whatever you do not really matters and if you die then another one "npc" died. You can be whatever you want and conquer all the land, be merchant, be warrior, live like a labourer or craftsman. In mass effect if they once make a game which not strictly limits your race, character that would be a nice move. If they can compensate the player with interesting companions, stories in the game and locations you remember.
@@kaitokid9092 That’s a good question actually, I’m fairly certain that you can use mods on the steam deck as I have some mates that use vortex to mod Fallout 4 & Cyberpunk on the deck, but I’m not 100% sure if you can use frosty mod manager on steam since you’ll need to have that accursed EA app to get it to work properly.
Thank you for watching! She sure does, they really did Peebee dirty with that face paint in the vanilla game lol but using mods for Andromeda is a must!
I ran a mod on Peebee and Cora years ago, but is a pain in the ass to run because you need to run frostbite in the background to activate them, I can say this game at launch on the xbox was a piece of broken shit, I had to reload so many times to get things to load in that were required trigger points to complete sections, I lashed out on xbox, receiving a warning I was violating terms of service when reporting every bug, neither EA not microsoft wanted them known, yet my rant over their focus on turning the entire crew into a bunch of queers was perfectly OK, just don't say whats broken! When buying games, forget consoles, the pc community offers mods and fixes to garbage, consoles, you just have to accept it!
@@Maples01EA has the worst community support I have ever seen. All the bugs and glitches that happen with EA titles are never properly fixed and now I have people asking me how to resolve these issues with the main difference being I actually will respond because I have experienced many of these bugs as a player, so apparently I’m more helpful then their entire support team 😂 The modding community keeps many of these games alive, and I played Andromeda on console back in the day and man let’s just say I’m never going back! 😂🍻
@@lordology4815 Never will buy another console, pc only, games are starting to stagnate, losing the story writing, character development is either forced or absent if only mass effect stayed on track but it needs Drew because the story is his.
Hi Some of the mods are not updated for the last patch ? Does all th mods listed are still working with the last version of the game even if not updated ?
The reception of this game is kinda sad, I never played it on release and only bought on sale years after and when I completed legendary edition. This game isn’t as good as the OT but I still believed it had potential to have a good trilogy and it’s obvious they were trying to make a trilogy for this series as well but with how everyone criticized this game they unfortunately pulled the plug for this game.
Bioware lacked any backbone during the Anthem era to follow through with any particular vision and now the company is known for mass lay offs and devs that have no connection to the games that made this studio great.
@@clairefarron8286 I haven’t heard of that mod, I was actually planning on doing a Peebee and Cora full romance compilation with the mods in this video but I will definitely have to give it a go!
@@lordology4815Please do! I think this is the one that swaps the characters into others romances, and there was a peebee romance video in cora's place but got deleted. I haven't seen anyone doing a playthrough of that or compiling the scenes, but I'll appreciate it if you do.
Unfortunately that’s not something mods can change, I personally prefer og mass effect and dragon age having 8-10 ability slots but that’s just my opinion.
Unfortunately, not bro, there is one mod that might cause a crash at the start of the game being the Hair mod for Cora but there is a fix for it on the mod page!
Great list. I play with some of the mods you've mentioned but I also play with WeMod, which covers a lot already. Luckily Frosty and WeMod work well together.
I remember when I first play this I was 17 my big brother got me a Xbox one for Christmas and this was the first game he got me an I was like this men don’t know his own brother I drop it try go back when I was 21 or 22 still couldn’t get pass the few first hours an now since I’m 24 i decided to go back for some reason mass effect just kept on popping up in my mind I was like f it time to redownload the trilogy and Andromeda an honestly mass effect 1 was the best in my opinion the directions for it was perfect saren an sovereign was one of best villains I came across so good that I wanted to side with them 😂 an for Andromeda had potential to be something great but it fell short good gameplay didn’t have the feeling the trilogy have but still a fun game to play
the rigging in this game is just god awful. looking at people walking, standing idle or sitting down, it looks like their bones are trying to pop out of their bodies. if they could fix that, it would help a lot.
Veilguard is 100% worse, if anything id say that Veilguard is dragon ages andromeda only a lot worse in terms of writing. Andromeda feels more like a spinoff AU fanfiction but it still kinda fits and makes somewhat sense, however Veilguard actively brings previous characters and is just a really shit sequel with shitty political messaging
@@celuiquipeut6527 interesting take, for me personally ME2 will always be my favourite for its story, but what is it about Andromeda that makes it your favourite?
Damn I’ve been waiting for a mod, that allows me say FU do it yourself, I have a thing more important jobs to do and get the XP,when another npc asks me to put his/hers sons necklace on a rock, which gives me nothing.
Wonder if anyone made some goddamn textures for the Krogan like except those with speaking lines they looked unfinished and would love if someone would add some freakin weapons to the nomad like the Mako and rhino top it for me each time
@@travishipp4972 so you can have more skills at the start of your playthrough to simulate a ‘new game plus’ type of save as mentioned in the video, also it allows you to reach max level without having to do any side quests, though the mod has many options to choose from so you can select how many skill points you get per level up.
What Mass Effect needs items found in ghost recon mixed with battle field bad company reconnaissance drones artillery big an small better weapons aircraft an vehicles
Thankfully you can mod out many of the annoying ambient dialogue lol and did you ever notice the start of the game is literally copied from the intro to Inquisition which is a far better game by comparison!
Just another franchise e.a. did a wonderful job killing. So many dead studios bioware, volition, and Westwood being the top 3 for me. If you like playing the game and are able to enjoy it, I am genuinely glad you enjoy the game. I just wish e.a. treated you guys better. If it's not for the fans of the games they don't have anything.
This is the exact reason why Veilguard annoys me so much, it's a game specifically not made for Dragon Age fans which is why it has failed financially.
100% bro, with Larian studios adding modding support to Baldur's Gate 3 hopefully we'll start to see more support for consoles and yeah removing the squad commands was super frustrating lol
No one can fix that game, its not even animation problem. the whole concept is broken, planets dead and the same, not interesting research, cut rookie gameplay. The only reason har was good its side character quest
Bugs aside. Nothing was overlooked. There is just no compelling well written characters. No motivation for the villain other than just to be evil. Muhuha... The illusive man made him look like a joke. There was nothing there that made me want to finish it. It was bland, boring and lacked all the magic from the original trilogy. It was a failure. Some mods will not fix that.
Mods will never fix the fundamental issues with the game that's for sure, but comparing it to the OG trilogy will always have andromeda looking terrible by comparison lol
the only redeeming factor of this game was it's gameplay, every other aspect of this game was terrible, especially the story. The story was the worst part of the game ignore the bugs that made a hard enough on their own to make it through. Being someone who actually beat the game, I will never touch this garbage when the original mass effect series exists, even with its disappointing ending.
I would imagine with ME5 in development that there’s going to be a lot of people checking out Andromeda in preparation, since the devs all but confirmed that ME5 is connected to both the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, so for those people that do play the game I hope the mods in this video make it more enjoyable for them, but I do agree with your points.
@@Primarch19th people are going to be playing Andromeda before me5’s release regardless of what you or I say, so they may as well make there playthrough enjoyable with mods. Mods don’t make games “greater” idk where you’re getting that lol but the whole purpose of them is to customise and tweak games to the players preference and add/fix things that devs were to lazy to fix themselves. No I am not “shilling” for BioWare, I’m showcasing the excellent work done by the modding community, I’ve been more critical of BioWare than anyone and the very last person or channel that they would care about is mine. 🤷♂️
@@headbangerdnb thanks brother, and yeah nothing can fix that lol but people are going to be playing Andromeda before ME5 so they might as well make the game more entertaining with some great mods!
The only mod that could make Andromeda tolerable for me would be a mod to remove the main story. I played the game twice, and on my second playthrough I finished every single sidequest available, and when all I had left was to continue the main story, I uninstalled the game.
People are going to be playing Andromeda regardless of what you or I may think about it because of its confirmed connection to ME5. For those that will play it, this video exists to at least make the experience more fun by improving characters, gameplay and cutting out many annoying aspects of the game. Other than that if you’re not gonna play it then don’t… lol 🤷♂️
I personally liked MEA, it wasn't as epic as ME, because the lore wasn't as deep, and because it's only one game vs three games, it can't really be compared. The last fight was quite lackluster, but i loved my waifu (Vetra), the only waifu i want back in ME5. If i had to choose beetween my spicky girlfriend and Tali, it would be VERY, VERY HARD. (The others are garbadge, i hate every other companion in MEA. Even Jaal (Which is the pussy's prefered, well, i'm not surprised since he's basically the white knight in shiny armor. UUURK !) Cora ? She's the girlboss feminist. I wanted to punch her in the face multiple times throughout the game. Go back to Bluesky you blond bootch ! Anyway, Vetra for life.

I played the ME trilogy like 5 times and I played Andromeda 2 years after launch because of the bad reception pulled me away.. and I didn't love it but I didn't hate it it's a solid game just frustrating knowing what it could've been
When the game was released I did not played too much with it and not finished the game. These mods sounds fun so maybe I will give another chance to the game. My issues mainly with mass effect is the strict story and I would liked to play a mass effect game where you play a no name chaarcter and be whatever you wish to. Play a race you like, make a custom one and get to the top. Sort of like Kenshi.
Thanks for watching, and I definitely see your point, it depends on the kind of rpg that you like, I personally don’t mind both if the writing is solid and the game prioritises player choice!
@@lordology4815 I do no have story driven rpgs nor sandbox games and to this day my favorite rpgs still BG2, ICWD1-2, Planescape Torment, Ultima. Still there are many here and there also good arpgs, point and click and adventure games. In mass effect the only thing I did not liked is the limited choice while it is a good to play a specific character I feel comfortable if I can play as a random person who may be or not important on the story.
Some mmos in this case are good because let more freedom on what you can do and you are not a important for the story. Kenshi for example is a singleplayer game where whatever you do not really matters and if you die then another one "npc" died. You can be whatever you want and conquer all the land, be merchant, be warrior, live like a labourer or craftsman.
In mass effect if they once make a game which not strictly limits your race, character that would be a nice move. If they can compensate the player with interesting companions, stories in the game and locations you remember.
Any good tutorials to use mods on steam deck? Does it even work on steam deck ?
@@kaitokid9092 That’s a good question actually, I’m fairly certain that you can use mods on the steam deck as I have some mates that use vortex to mod Fallout 4 & Cyberpunk on the deck, but I’m not 100% sure if you can use frosty mod manager on steam since you’ll need to have that accursed EA app to get it to work properly.
Is there a "swap Liam for Kirkland" mod where Liam dies in the prologue instead of Kirkland (or whoever he was).
@@richardmartin8998 hahahah not that I’m aware of but I would probably use that mod myself lol
13:35 She looks so cute here! I need to play this game with mods so bad!
Thank you for watching!
She sure does, they really did Peebee dirty with that face paint in the vanilla game lol but using mods for Andromeda is a must!
I ran a mod on Peebee and Cora years ago, but is a pain in the ass to run because you need to run frostbite in the background to activate them, I can say this game at launch on the xbox was a piece of broken shit, I had to reload so many times to get things to load in that were required trigger points to complete sections, I lashed out on xbox, receiving a warning I was violating terms of service when reporting every bug, neither EA not microsoft wanted them known, yet my rant over their focus on turning the entire crew into a bunch of queers was perfectly OK, just don't say whats broken!
When buying games, forget consoles, the pc community offers mods and fixes to garbage, consoles, you just have to accept it!
@@Maples01EA has the worst community support I have ever seen.
All the bugs and glitches that happen with EA titles are never properly fixed and now I have people asking me how to resolve these issues with the main difference being I actually will respond because I have experienced many of these bugs as a player, so apparently I’m more helpful then their entire support team 😂
The modding community keeps many of these games alive, and I played Andromeda on console back in the day and man let’s just say I’m never going back! 😂🍻
@@lordology4815 Never will buy another console, pc only, games are starting to stagnate, losing the story writing, character development is either forced or absent if only mass effect stayed on track but it needs Drew because the story is his.
Do these Mods work in the Cracked Version??? Because I've been trying for days to get this Frosty to work, and it won't work at all!!!
Hi
Some of the mods are not updated for the last patch ? Does all th mods listed are still working with the last version of the game even if not updated ?
They will still work, the frostbite engine doesn’t function like the creation engine where updates break most mods thankfully.
@@lordology4815 thanks i will give it a go then =)
The reception of this game is kinda sad, I never played it on release and only bought on sale years after and when I completed legendary edition. This game isn’t as good as the OT but I still believed it had potential to have a good trilogy and it’s obvious they were trying to make a trilogy for this series as well but with how everyone criticized this game they unfortunately pulled the plug for this game.
Bioware lacked any backbone during the Anthem era to follow through with any particular vision and now the company is known for mass lay offs and devs that have no connection to the games that made this studio great.
you have a mod load order for the mods please ? :(
@@KusanagiKyo17 I didn’t need to use any particular load order for all of these mods bro, are you having troubles getting the game to launch?
@@lordology4815 oh i didn't know the load order is soo loose. Got used to Skyrim modding 😅 thanks for the info. Subscribed.
*most controversial game Bioware has made*
Most controversial game *So Far*
Hahahaha! Yep lol it's gonna be interesting to see how they handle the next Mass Effect...
00:02 Wait a second! I thinks this didn't aged well! I think we could say that now about The Veilguard! XD :D :D
Yep it definitely didn’t! 😂🤣
Can you do a video with cora's romance but with peebee in her place? The mod is called romance for all.
@@clairefarron8286 I haven’t heard of that mod, I was actually planning on doing a Peebee and Cora full romance compilation with the mods in this video but I will definitely have to give it a go!
@@lordology4815Please do! I think this is the one that swaps the characters into others romances, and there was a peebee romance video in cora's place but got deleted. I haven't seen anyone doing a playthrough of that or compiling the scenes, but I'll appreciate it if you do.
We need a Lexi mod that fixes her bone structure to look more like Natalie Dormer
@@Mitsu2040 that would be so sick! 🤌
Far from the most controversial game BioWare has made.
Anthem, Andromeda & Veilguard, the trio of shame for BioWare lol
Thank you for this video, but still only 3 skills usable in battle
Unfortunately that’s not something mods can change, I personally prefer og mass effect and dragon age having 8-10 ability slots but that’s just my opinion.
Is there no way to do one straight install? I hate trying mods and it breaks somewhere
Unfortunately, not bro, there is one mod that might cause a crash at the start of the game being the Hair mod for Cora but there is a fix for it on the mod page!
Great list. I play with some of the mods you've mentioned but I also play with WeMod, which covers a lot already. Luckily Frosty and WeMod work well together.
Thanks for watching most mod managers should work in tandem with each other depending on the game!
Ngl, the thumbnail drew me in
Kinda bumbed it wasn't even in the description
The mod itself is in the description bro, It's the Peebee Tweak mod.
@lordology4815 my bad, it was early in the morning when I saw the video, so i wasn't exactly cognizant to process everything, lol
@@devilsad0cate932 Hahahaha no stress man.
I still love the didn't buy mod.
Thanks for watching bro!
Do these Mods work in the Cracked Version??? Because I've been trying for days to get this Frosty to work, and it won't work at all!!!
@@ozyryzlionheart I’ve never modded a cracked version of a game bro, so i’m not sure.
Your male Ryder looks like Homelander 🤨
@@NEWDOR1A I was trying to make Ryder look like myself since I don’t like his default appearance but now that you mention it I can’t unsee it! 😂🤣
I remember when I first play this I was 17 my big brother got me a Xbox one for Christmas and this was the first game he got me an I was like this men don’t know his own brother I drop it try go back when I was 21 or 22 still couldn’t get pass the few first hours an now since I’m 24 i decided to go back for some reason mass effect just kept on popping up in my mind I was like f it time to redownload the trilogy and Andromeda an honestly mass effect 1 was the best in my opinion the directions for it was perfect saren an sovereign was one of best villains I came across so good that I wanted to side with them 😂 an for Andromeda had potential to be something great but it fell short good gameplay didn’t have the feeling the trilogy have but still a fun game to play
Well said good sir!
Character designs still doesn't looks nearly as good as in the trilogy but it's a start, a valiant effort at least... ^^
100% agree bro, and yeah I tried so hard and got so far lol
Mods seem appealing🤔
@@RedMinotaur808 They sure are! 🤙
the rigging in this game is just god awful. looking at people walking, standing idle or sitting down, it looks like their bones are trying to pop out of their bodies. if they could fix that, it would help a lot.
I think that might be an issue with the frostbite engine if I’m not mistaken.
Are there mods for Xbox version
@@jas-ve7bg Unfortunately not bro, mods for andromeda are only available on PC!
Andromeda is Mess Effects Veilguard moment let’s hope it won’t repeat
Hot take but I actually think Veilguard is much worse than Andromeda lol
Veilguard is 100% worse, if anything id say that Veilguard is dragon ages andromeda only a lot worse in terms of writing. Andromeda feels more like a spinoff AU fanfiction but it still kinda fits and makes somewhat sense, however Veilguard actively brings previous characters and is just a really shit sequel with shitty political messaging
@@binkerbros5683 couldn’t agree more. 👌
Andromeda is at least playable, and it doesn't preach at you like Veilguard does.
I hope I get a PC for Christmas
Best of luck bro!
Still cant wait for me4
I'm really hoping they can do this franchise justice!
I played the trilogy back then and andromeda. Hot tak: Andromeda is the best mass effect game.
@@celuiquipeut6527 interesting take, for me personally ME2 will always be my favourite for its story, but what is it about Andromeda that makes it your favourite?
Damn
I’ve been waiting for a mod, that allows me say FU do it yourself, I have a thing more important jobs to do and get the XP,when another npc asks me to put his/hers sons necklace on a rock, which gives me nothing.
Yeah, some of the missions are a little wack in this game hahaha!
Wonder if anyone made some goddamn textures for the Krogan like except those with speaking lines they looked unfinished and would love if someone would add some freakin weapons to the nomad like the Mako and rhino top it for me each time
I think project pretty effects some of the Krogan but yeah only the ones with speaking lines as far as I'm aware lol
I can reach max level and all skills be the end of the game. Why more skill points mod?
@@travishipp4972 so you can have more skills at the start of your playthrough to simulate a ‘new game plus’ type of save as mentioned in the video, also it allows you to reach max level without having to do any side quests, though the mod has many options to choose from so you can select how many skill points you get per level up.
@@lordology4815 Sadly consoles dont get mods, except for Skyrim LE that i know of.
@@travishipp4972 that’s slowly starting to change bro, Baldur’s Gate 3 for example.
@@lordology4815 I dont have BG3, plus its probably on the newer gen.
I’ll have to get the Sam mod. Delete him and all team dialogues would be great.
It’s honestly a must, dude was straight up annoying in the vanilla game lol
What Mass Effect needs items found in ghost recon mixed with battle field bad company reconnaissance drones artillery big an small better weapons aircraft an vehicles
@@andrewgodfrey6184 that’s quite the list lol
Sadly u cant get mods for conßole andromeda
Unfortunately not brother, but here's hoping more devs incorporate modding support in the future!
This game sucked in like 5 whole minutes cause you didn't do anything badass and the squadmates sucked also every 5 seconds you had enemies to kill
Thankfully you can mod out many of the annoying ambient dialogue lol and did you ever notice the start of the game is literally copied from the intro to Inquisition which is a far better game by comparison!
@lordology4815 actually i quit after playing 20 minutes
You are complaining about killing enemies ?
I thought that was the point of the game
@ i don’t want to speak for anyone but I assume he meant like in Dragon Age 2 where enemies will literally pop up all the time unnecessarily. 🤷♂️
@@lordology4815 exactly what i was complaining about
Just got it for 3£ on steam, what a great deal😅
@@111imagine111 that’s a steal, happy modding bro!
As always this game was rushed out the door by publishers, once it was fixed its still a great game and i wish they had of released the dlc.
I was quite surprised that they didn’t release any dlc, probably could’ve made the game more enjoyable with a solid dlc!
Just another franchise e.a. did a wonderful job killing. So many dead studios bioware, volition, and Westwood being the top 3 for me. If you like playing the game and are able to enjoy it, I am genuinely glad you enjoy the game. I just wish e.a. treated you guys better. If it's not for the fans of the games they don't have anything.
This is the exact reason why Veilguard annoys me so much, it's a game specifically not made for Dragon Age fans which is why it has failed financially.
I hate how consoles will never give gamers as much freedom as PC. Makes no sense.
I will never understand removing squad commands. Why play a game where you must put 100% faith in AI to do the right things?
100% bro, with Larian studios adding modding support to Baldur's Gate 3 hopefully we'll start to see more support for consoles and yeah removing the squad commands was super frustrating lol
Too bad. Mods can't fix bad story and horrible dialog: "My face is tired".
Hahahah of all the things mods can fix, story and dialogue ain’t one of them lol
to be what people say o really did not mine it i had a ok time paying it
That's good bro, just because someone doesn't enjoy a game doesn't mean you can't!
You forgot the best mod.. the nude mod
@@johnthomas-uy4tw 😂
No one can fix that game, its not even animation problem. the whole concept is broken, planets dead and the same, not interesting research, cut rookie gameplay. The only reason har was good its side character quest
Thanks for watching bro, and which side character quests did you like from Andromeda?
Bugs aside. Nothing was overlooked. There is just no compelling well written characters. No motivation for the villain other than just to be evil. Muhuha... The illusive man made him look like a joke. There was nothing there that made me want to finish it. It was bland, boring and lacked all the magic from the original trilogy. It was a failure. Some mods will not fix that.
Mods will never fix the fundamental issues with the game that's for sure, but comparing it to the OG trilogy will always have andromeda looking terrible by comparison lol
Ngl, that Cora appearance is awful😅
@@Bayleaf6399 worse than her vanilla appearance? Cause the bar wasn’t very high lol
the only redeeming factor of this game was it's gameplay, every other aspect of this game was terrible, especially the story. The story was the worst part of the game ignore the bugs that made a hard enough on their own to make it through. Being someone who actually beat the game, I will never touch this garbage when the original mass effect series exists, even with its disappointing ending.
I would imagine with ME5 in development that there’s going to be a lot of people checking out Andromeda in preparation, since the devs all but confirmed that ME5 is connected to both the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, so for those people that do play the game I hope the mods in this video make it more enjoyable for them, but I do agree with your points.
DEVIL MAY CRY 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WOKE EFFECT ANDROSHITA
Hahahahah!
Adding mods to a game does not make it a better/ greater game. It just adds more garbage to a garbage game. Are you being paid to shill for Bioware?
@@Primarch19th people are going to be playing Andromeda before me5’s release regardless of what you or I say, so they may as well make there playthrough enjoyable with mods.
Mods don’t make games “greater” idk where you’re getting that lol but the whole purpose of them is to customise and tweak games to the players preference and add/fix things that devs were to lazy to fix themselves.
No I am not “shilling” for BioWare, I’m showcasing the excellent work done by the modding community, I’ve been more critical of BioWare than anyone and the very last person or channel that they would care about is mine. 🤷♂️
I appreciate the effort, but none of these mods fix the main issue with the game, which is immature dialogue and tone deaf, lazy writing.
@@headbangerdnb thanks brother, and yeah nothing can fix that lol but people are going to be playing Andromeda before ME5 so they might as well make the game more entertaining with some great mods!
The only mod that could make Andromeda tolerable for me would be a mod to remove the main story.
I played the game twice, and on my second playthrough I finished every single sidequest available, and when all I had left was to continue the main story, I uninstalled the game.
@@Draconic. yeah there’s nothing more annoying then paying for a game that ends up being a massive disappointment.
wokeguard now holds the spot of worse game and if they fuck up ME 5 it will end bioshit
I'm honestly surprised that they're gonna be continuing with the next Mass Effect lol
16 minutes instruction on how to waste your time instead of playing some good games. To each his own I guess...
People are going to be playing Andromeda regardless of what you or I may think about it because of its confirmed connection to ME5.
For those that will play it, this video exists to at least make the experience more fun by improving characters, gameplay and cutting out many annoying aspects of the game.
Other than that if you’re not gonna play it then don’t… lol 🤷♂️
I personally liked MEA, it wasn't as epic as ME, because the lore wasn't as deep, and because it's only one game vs three games, it can't really be compared. The last fight was quite lackluster, but i loved my waifu (Vetra), the only waifu i want back in ME5.
If i had to choose beetween my spicky girlfriend and Tali, it would be VERY, VERY HARD. (The others are garbadge, i hate every other companion in MEA. Even Jaal (Which is the pussy's prefered, well, i'm not surprised since he's basically the white knight in shiny armor. UUURK !)
Cora ? She's the girlboss feminist. I wanted to punch her in the face multiple times throughout the game. Go back to Bluesky you blond bootch !
Anyway, Vetra for life.
Hahahaha funnily enough I think a lot of people have come around on Vetra over the years, myself included!
