Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda
Hoping like hell they learned some lessons from ME3's flawed but ridiculously fun multiplayer mode.  I put far more time into ME3 multiplayer than I did into singleplayer.

Depends on caliber of the cannon. It's gotta be fairly big.

Hmm, you do know that the original Mass Effect had two sequels? Making Andromeda the fourth Mass Effect, and Andromeda starts completely new storyline with new main character.

Yeah, the Thanix cannon probably takes up some space. Not easy to fit another cannon next to it.

We'll see how long EA can drag the corpse of Mass Effect behind their truck until it stops resembling Mass Effect.

Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda
Despite their efforts to correct, 3 burned a lot of my appreciation for the franchise.

Andromeda's going into the box where I keep the new Nanoha anime, Kerberos-made games, Civilization: Beyond Earth and anything related to it, the Lost Planet series, and similar stuff. The one labeled "I suspect you're scum, but we'll see if I need to put you in the box with Tiberian Twilight and SOTS 2."
"Load sabot. Target Zaku, direct front!"

Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda
ME3 is actually pretty damned good, I'm making a playthrough of it right now. Dat ending ruins most of the experience retrospectively, *sure*, but at the end of the day, it just confirms what we already suspected: Bioware is really bad at answering the high-level concept questions that it itself correctly *asks*, but terrifyingly good at low level every-moment world building.

So no, I won't expect any Asimov-level of thought in it, but if it delivers at providing a Firefly-esque experience of commanding a ship in a new "western" yet unexplored world, I'm into it.

Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda
Reapers are a logical and responsible (but incredibly violent) solution to the problem of hegemonic civilizations taking over the galaxy and erasing all the possible things that might yet be. They're the Krogan to our Rachni, the genophage to our Krogan. They preserve what they reap as new Reapers. We would never have existed without them. They're an alternate end stage to the life cycle of civilizations.

Crucible is a mass effect weapon that will peel apart every star in the galaxy using the dark energy foreshadowing from ME2. It's a gun to our own foreheads: leave us be or we'll force your ultimate fail state.

So, in your ending, the Reapers are a lot like the Shivans?

Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda
Bioware has been disappointing me horribly my entire life, and I still always get super hyped and excited when they announce the next game. Why change a perfectly dysfunctional relationship?
Anyway, what Luis Dias said: ME3 was a great game with a ****ed up ending and a couple of offensively bad characters. One should get over it. By this point it's almost guaranteed that this one will also be ****ed up in many different ways, and I'll be ranting about each one of them to anyone willing to listen come Q4 2016. But it's also almost certain that it will have a great cast of NPC's and that at least parts of the main storyline will be exceptionally well done and interesting. And I'm also hoping for a fun gameplay, because for me ME3 was perfect in that regard.
The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.

Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda
I took no great offense at ME3's ending.  But I only played the director's cut (or whatever they called it) version and accidentally stumbled into the "make no choice" ending as I was trying to just see what all the options were.
I like to stare at the sun.
