Mass Effect Andromeda

i am so hype for this game! I cant wait to show those aliens what for! Whos with me?!

...

better than overlooking 0.01% of the population and making them feel excluded.

I just wanna know if the alien race at the end with the weird ring behind the head will have females and how long it will take for someone to draw porn where someone's grabbing a hold on that ring and pounding away from behind.

anyone who buys this game after 3 is a fucking idiot.

This.

You're an idiot for buying Bioware games after DA2.

It won't matter user, porn artists will make females and futas of the aliens regardless, as long as they have sexual appeal.

It is just really generic user, it could be so much worse.

You can't make this shit up

You always have to be a special snowflake

what the fuck

I still can't believe how bad that game was.

We wouldn't want that, now would we?

I almost expected the modern Battlefield theme to start up at the end.

WUB WUB WUB

WUB

Best goys. 0,03 cents have been sent to your BTC wallets.

jokes on you, I stopped after DA:O

Honestly, why is the main character a WHITE MALE ?

I thought they were all about diversity at Bioware ?

The main character should be a trans-gender otherkin african-asian muslim.

...

Because he's Wil Wheaton.

Wil Wheaton is a nigger

This

Didn't they show some gameplay not too long ago which consisted of walking down a corridor and two button presses or something similar?
Becasue this shit looked like simply an overlong cutscene that made no sense which would fit into the clusterfuck that ME has become

Bravo, Curry Thunder, bravo.

and a fugly one

Ugly ones at that. Gotta smash them objectification stereotypes! And who gives a shit they're a race that evolved to be as fuckable as possible?

BioWare can't write any other kind of plot. You're always the chosen one fighting the ancient evil that has awoken. You always play armchair psychologist with your party members and walk them through their daddy issues. You always have to suffer through the forced faggotry and pozz BioWare injects at every turn.

Toxic masculinity is triggering. Xer received a healthy does of estrogen in xir's youth to prevent xer from becoming a fucking white male.

Please tell me they didn't really cast that beta cuck. Regardless of his idiocy he's about as manly and authoritative as a dora the explorer

That's the point though.

WHY CAN'T WE BE ANY OF THE OTHER ALIEN RACES, OH LOOK HUMANS ARE SPECIALSNOWFLAKES IN THIS GALAXY TOO, INCEPTION HORN, FUCK THIS SHIT

You can.
Only in multiplayer.

I bet theyll go with the dark energy story line

As DLC.

but in that one mass effect game, i punched a female reporter straight in her face during a cutscene & nothing bad happened to me because i am so powerful. and then i sexually abused that girl who was raped & left her to sulk in the basement.

then in the next game, there was a homo, but you got to tell him to fuck off and then he just sulks in the loading dock for the rest of the game.

i didn't finish the last game, though. does it make you apologize for punching women, sexually abusing abuse victims, and hurting homos with your insults and slurs, or are people really sad about a laser going up into the sky?

whites reign supreme. you don't wanna be some dumbass lizard or space furry

Last game told you to fuck off and everyone sulked in a corner

Don't tell that to the Curry Thunder. He'll get upset again.

Oh look another space opera movie.

I thought he looked like Jonathan McIntosh

so you're saying that there just wasn't a resolution & the resolution was the laser? because i had a good time playing up until the point i stopped. it never forced me to be gay (in fact it let me make them cry) and let me choose to hit civilian women, do sexual abuse, etc. all while in space. to me, it felt like a violent version of star trek.

but people really do seem to hate how it all ends. i would be pissed if it turned my character gay or into a sympathizer, but i didn't hear anything about that.

sure, you can CHOOSE to be a homo, but why would someone do that unless they weren't one in the first place?

You can't fool us twice EA.

The final product will have characters and enviroments. Stop being an entitled little shit, of course the trailer isnt 100% a copy ugh

Even EA knows it's going to be a flop.

Reminder that Bioware forums was closed
Its going to be shit on so many levels

I stopped after Jade Empire because that game was hot trash.

I still remember the lies and empty promises. They said they were going to drop the binary morality system and make the "evil" path something more than a joke, but instead we got the same exact shit they always do, only named differently.

Also, the game controlled like shit and introduced the current style of gameplay of BioWare games, that force you to play it like a third person something or other, but the gameplay is so horrible it only makes the experience worse.

On top of that it underutilized the setting and recycled party members. A saving grace could have been the harem ending, but they fuck that up too.

And then we get Mary Sure of the Old Republic.

On top of that it plays like a fucking joke. Whoever thought martial arts china should play in a turn based or RPG format should go fuck themselves.

Were you expecting anything else?

Bioware can go throw itself into a gas chamber for all I care.

Actually, yes, the Nips can make third person RPGs based around magical powers and martial arts that don't suck balls.

I just looked it up, it came out two years after the first Naruto game, they could have easily aped that, or taken cues from Onimusha, or even Serverance, or any other action game that incorporates RPG elements.

Bioware was never good, fams.

HEH

MDK2 rocks, shut your ass

This

RPGs

Nips

Debatable. Depends on whether or not you subscribe to the theory that the two Baldur's Gate games were more a product of Black Isle than BioWare proper.

I do believe in this theory, because it's obvious that once their partnership ended so did BioWare's understanding of RPGs. Not to say that BG was perfect, because it wasn't, but it had so much quantity that it became a quality all its own.

Since bladder's gates were shit, it doesn't matter.

Is this a movie?
Where's the gameplay?

Gameplay is a social construct

...

Okay, which rpgs are good to you user?

Fallouts, MnMs, Wizardries, Darklands, Troika stuff

no gameplay
dubstep
diversity propaganda

bioware is public enemy #1

I rate this trailer 3 out of 9 flayed penises.

BG was made by Black Isle.

No. Engine was.

see

Bioware never understood RPGs. Moreover EA bioware is hardly old bioware.

...

see

Oh and of all the uses of a jetpack for a TPS these fucks have it as a high jump.

Except Baldur's Gate was a well written game, done by Black Isle.

I agree with you that Bioware was never good, but stating Baldur's Gate was bad is just being "le hip videogames are shit XD le baiterino i hate more games so I'm cooler" faggot. BG was objectively a good crpg.

It's basically their silent admission they fucked up bad and needed to reboot the plot. Notice that the cutoff point is set before ME3.

Not that it's going to help them any. Gayder, despite being a homosexual mangina, at least could, under specific circumstances, deliver reasonable writing. Whatever clowns wrote DA:I prove that BioWare is pooling their "talent" from the emotional retards of tumblr, because it plays out like some particularly cringeworthy fanfic written by a hambeast with blue hair.

I honestly didn't notice much of a drop in quality before and after the buyout. You could argue DA:O to DA2, but DA:O was the odd duck, their attempt to cash in on the Baldur's Gate nostalgia, not a new (old) direction they were taking their games.

It's pretty obvious all they knew how to make was the third person, over the shoulder camera "RPGs".

Nooo
Also no, engine was done by black isle, rest was bioware.

...

Sounds like the sort of thing a gamer would like. Very disappointed if true.

I honestly love that a new Mass Effect is being made. Bioware shitstorm threads are the best.

black isle didnt do anything, engine and content was 100% from biowar

What Andromeda needs is a skip button.

I will be sad when EA shuts them down after ME4 flops. Where am I gonna get my laughs?

Everyone keeps hoping they will top the circus they had going with the TORtanic, but after No Man's Sky I fear the bar has been set too high. Then again, the Curry Thunder is leading the project, and he looks like a particularly able lolcow, so here is hoping.

That's Kurgan's voice though.

...

stop doing things correctly.

Absolute crap that only braindead normalfags will buy.

If you close your eyes it could just as well be the trailer for a transformers movie.

I think there's a great chance of it being another disaster especially since loads of eyes will be on it and Pajeet has a great potential to ruin any good PR.

No one wants diversity we need the game to show some gameplay and be FUN

...

Considering DA:I sold like shit I sincerely doubt that.

God, I hope he throws a tantrum, or that someone starts egging him on twitter.

Ass Defect: Diarrhea

4.7 million units sold is selling like shit now?
Don't get me worng, I hate the game, but let's be honest here.
It sold well, but was instantly forgotten since most of those sales were to normalfags with the attention span of a rhesus monkey on cocaine.

Does EA try to use Bioware as a PR rainbow shield anymore? They have that streetshitter monkey, but they could just be cutting their losses and finalizing the burial of Bioware.

This looks interesting. I kind of want to see how it plays out when its released. So far I like the special effects and the desert setting on the trailer. Reminds me of Dune. When does this come out in theaters?

The (((writers))) try to manipulate you into doing what they consider the right thing, instead of what you consider the right thing. Ignore them. I had fun with the first trilogy, which is a shame because I won't be playing part 4, for non-game reasons.

Oh, this dothead is responsible for Andromeda? Fucking dropped. If you want this shit to stop, it has to become unprofitable for these companies to engage in social justice bullshit.

And there are people who saw the abomination that was Cisbusters, yet it still failed spectacularly.

BioWare is run by EA, which means Jews. They're perfectly happy to take your fucking money if you're white, even though they shit on you in their offices and board room, so don't give it to them. It's the same thing with NFL this year: niggers are giving a big Fuck You to white people by protesting the anthem, and their Jew owners and sponsors are encouraging it, so I'm not going to watch them play. And you know, I don't really miss it, because those spoiled niggers don't provide me with shelter, food, companionship or income. It's not important.

I'm hoping that after this game flops, combined with Cisquisition doing less than great, that they'll fucking start rubbing their brain cells together and realize that they need to dial this CURRENT YEAR shit back (since asking that they fucking stop is too much).

If this currynigger comes anywhere near DA4, I'm not playing it. If they somehow add even more social justice, I'm not playing it. You can't just say "oh well hurr durr" and keep paying EA when they do shit that you don't like. Even if you as a single consumer can't bankrupt them all by yourself, remember that the bundle of sticks can combine to form a mighty faggot.

Short of a free train ride and shower from Uncle Adolf, Jews only suffer when you empty out their wallets. Attack them there.

Mafia 3 needed to sell 8 million copies.

That's because they are fucking crap at finiancial management, but objectively, 4.7 million sales isn't bad. I doubt they sank 100 million into the development og DA:I.
Sales mean nothing to cultural relevance though. Citizen Kane wasn't even in the top 20 grossing films the year it came out and how many other films from 1941 can anyone name?

One would think EA would threaten to fire him if he doesn't clean up his act for the release of the game. Then again, it's EA, so they might actually him to step up the shitposting so they shield the game from criticism with words like "diversity" and "LGBT-friendly"

This is amazing. Bioware not only shits the bed on their chances of selling the game to anyone online with brain cells by supporting cucklords, but they also shit the bed on their chances of selling the game to anyone else by having shitty trailers and nonexistent gameplay. They're in a whirlpool of shit and Andromeda will be the game that causes EA to chew them up and spit them out, just like they've done to every other company that's failed them multiple times. You've got ME3 turning half their fanbase against them, Cisquisition receiving poor reviews and lackluster sales, and now with Andromeda…

For games like that you look at the development cost, double it and then you have an accurate figure of what they spend on marketing.

oh yeah! i forgot that you also tell the queer to never talk about about his so-called 'husband' ever again b/c he's being weak & disgustingly gay for hitting on you. that part was fantastic.

True. But marketing costs are paid by the publisher, not the dev. That said, I can't find any stats on the cost of development or marketing anywhere. Even sales figures aren't official. My original point though was that it didn't sell badly, but the excesses of the industry mean it could still have been a loss for EA and Biocuck.

That guy looks a lot like me.
fuck you I'm not posting my face on Holla Forums

Why don't they just make a movie?

Depends on how much money was spent on the game. Also, are you talking about the number of shipped copies, or the number of copies sold? Because there is a difference, retailers will return shipped copies if they don't sell. I'm curious where you are getting the 4.7 million number from, because I can't really find any concrete sales data on the game.

EA claims it was their "most successful launch yet", talking about Dragon Age games, but when the game did launch it failed to top the charts. It might have been profitable, but then again, it might not have been. Considering that EA was, at first, shy about disclosing the total number of sold copies. This, to me, speaks about a flop.

Also, you need to consider how little marketing ME4 has been getting. My personal opinion is that EA is trying to squeeze a few more shekels out of BioWare before shutting them down.

They don't give a fuck, and why would they? There's no uproar from the media over his behavior, no popular demand from the vidya community for him to apologize. EA and he know that shitting on whites, and especially white men, is in vogue, carries no risks and will get you praise from certain circles.

This is the world we live in. The race and culture that ruled the planet, with the most potent militaries and economies, is being openly ridicule and humiliated by a subhuman chimp that comes from a country where half the population shits on the streets like animals.

BWOOAAARRR

Standards are too high in the movie industry.
Which speaks volumes about how crap the vidya industy is

Got the number from vgchartz, whihc I know is shit, but isn't usually off by millions. I know there are no official numbers, so guesstimates will have to do
I don't doubt EA is milking Bioware. It's what conglomerates do. I expereinced it myself when I used to work at a pizza place that got a corporate takeover, had all it's costs sliced so the pizzas became much worse, living off brand strength, slowly driving customers away until the company flopped and the ones who had taken over made money selling it off to new owners to try to rebuild it. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

That's a pretty unoriginal alien design. Can't expect anything from Bioware these days.
Looks almost photorealistic though. It's uncanny.

Could it be possible that the lore supports Halo?

I dont know why you people are mad about that diversity shit, it is your culture now faggots, North America is now a sjw country, and i look foward to making fun of you all while enjoying watching some terrorist attack when Clinton wins jaja

...

It's not like I disagree with you, but it's fairly obvious that EA isn't really investing all that much into BioWare these days.

Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3 had massive marketing campaigns throughout their development cycle and the hype was high. DA:I's reception was pretty mellow, and there is next to no buzz surrounding ME4, everyone seems to be pretty much indifferent to it.

Also, with Gayder leaving there is no one of the old guard left, nor anyone with much experience judging from DA:I. I remember looking at the working history of the currynigger and it was very unimpressive. He's only worked as a gameplay designer for ME games, before that being a coffee bitchboi and a QA tester.

He clearly has no leadership experience, yet has been put in charge of BioWare's next flagship title. Either he's some wunderkind, or BioWare is so lacking in talent that this is the best they could come up with.

Cool trailer. What's this movie called?

BR detected.

...

...

look, faggot, if you hate making fun of SJW's and retarded shit, you can stop posting in the thread any time. unless you are retarded, in which case, just keep at it

...

...

I can't wait to be guilt tripped by implications that a galaxy full of atleast semi-habitable planets is the same as a country on a single planet.

Gayniggers from Outer Space.

No, no, shove in some more LGBT and immigration propaganda, find creative ways to shit on white people and blame them for every evil in the universe, invent new methods to make the females in the cast ugly…

Really, the possibilities are endless.

Oh this one gonna be good.

What's the point?

...

Nobody is really making fun of this because there is nothing to make fun of. We know Bioware are a miserable company making a miserable game for miserable, mentally disturbed people.

Drawing attention to games like this only attracts said audience and makes Holla Forums a worse place.

Bioware is so dead but somehow they still pumping out games.

...

Pretty sure EA will take them out back real soon and put them into the dirt

Not as long as there are fetishists who mindlessly buy every Bioware game just for the single player ERP aspect.

It's going to be fun watching andromeda get every goty award's from the usual suspects, then watch as EA nervously posts about how well it's selling only for them to silently shut the doors and for misogyny to be blamed.

BR's go hue tho

why are cucks evn talking about this shit?

i swear im get more convinced everyday that this place is filled with closet cucks

It sold less than a million. Gives me hope there is some justice in this world.

Does anyone even give a shit about all the awards they give? Seems to me that every game that comes out gets at least 20+ of them for just existing.

I just want this to happen so I can register on twitter and tweet "poo in the loo" to the currynigger.

BWAAAAAAAAAAHHH

What kind of standards are you talking about? Have you seen new movies, especially capeshit like Suicide Squad? This shit looks like some amateur movie or shitty and cheap TV series. When I saw a thread on Holla Forums about it for the first time I legitimately thought it was another TV series on Netflix. Shouldn't even mention upcoming movies.

He's just cheap, why hire talented people when you can exploit some cheap labor from the street or some retards from tumblr?
It surprises me how much money they waste on marketing when something like Mafia III needed to sell fucking 8 million dollars. Just look at gameplay videos, it looks nothing like high budget game.

The more money they waste on this trainwreck, the better. If anything, it will greatly help in murdering Bioware.

Welcome to America, it's their culture.

There is no way that could be a substantial enough number of people to sustain the company

What a lazy trailer. Is there any creativity left at BiowarEA at all? Is there anyone actually fucking excited by this? I mean, fuck me, what a crap trailer.

That's the line Holla Forums has been using for years, but these fucks are anything but cheap seeing how they can't help but live in San Francisco, Seattle and other overpriced shitholes.

Reparations aren't cheap goyim. Alternatively, this is what happens when you fill your staff roster with cunts and niggers and pay them the same as white and Asian men.

tbph I would play this if it doesn't end up having Denuvo

You didn't see the previous trailer where Shrek goes all Looney Toons with her animations and her gun mysteriously appears and disappears within a few frames?

That's quality.

Nobody here cares you masturbate to cuck porn.

lmao

You can hate a company or a game and still talk about it you retard

LOL

Keep in mind, white American liberals are kids of rich people and pajeets like in this pic are indeed cheap labors unless they also have rich parents. I would never believe that this piece of shit is more expensive than competent person who can do the job right.
Jews don't sell products anymore, they sell marketing which is why high budget games or movies looks cheap as fuck while they have insane marketing campaigns. It seems like not even Jews competent enough to make money.

It better to use Denuvo, then they won't use "pirates are ebil, we lost money solely because of them, not because our game is shit" excuses. And it's time to get some taste, nigger, stop eating shit even if it's free. Time has value too.

I guarantee you he's some high caste spawn with connected parents.

Also, Jews don't make stuff for money anymore, cash is immaterial to them, they make propaganda because they think their victory draws near.

Just like one of the writers who used to be a professional blogger for PCGamer, she was also interviewed by a news channel about "virtual rape" in GTA Online. She has no background in writing but she's part of ME:A writing staff.

...

Why you still digging the Mass Effect grave Op ? i sometimes go back to play ME1 and ME2, i dont even do the missions i just walk around the Citadel prettending Shepard is Married and has kids waiting for him on Earth.

So why, why you still digging the ME grave Op ? ;_;

And then the drunken bastard got a hold of a celephone and someone managed to type that in-between assfucking himself.

Imagine the hilarious quotes and moments we will get from this shit game

So many sad things about those two pics.

...

There is no chance this game won't be BioWare's magnum opus. This will go down in history as the game that dethroned TORtanic.

i dont know ;_;

...

You made me google the antonym of that.
It will be their "parvulum opus" closest I could find, parvum means idiotic.

delete this

Fr*ck off you transphobe

he's a ftm

So much potential utterly wasted. nu-Bioware is fucking retarded

That was the laziest fucking trailer I've ever seen. Can you get more by-the-numbers than this?

Still ugly as sin. Hopefully it butchers its genitals so no more chance of passing on the defective genes.

The real tragedy is that no one is challenging BioWare and making a spiritual sequel to ME that isn't complete shit.

I'd love a non-linear space RPG with an emphasis on exploration, tactical combat (not the TPS shit we got), space battles, customization of weapons, ships, armor, cybernetics, etc.

Why hasn't anyone done this?

...

Why do all the games use the same cookie-cutter alien design, "Warlike Tribal Backwards Legs with Predator mouth"?

I was kidding. So far we know nothing about the main character and the crew (some say that the guy and the girl are siblings), it's really weird since the game is supposed to be out in february.

AND THEN I SAW HER FACE

From the Codex (via Gameinformer):

Backstory
-Around 2185, at the height of galactic progress, unaware of the impending Reaper invasion (though after Sovereign), several species band together for the "Andromeda Initiative"
-4 Arks, each carrying a different race, are built, housing thousands of individuals to chart a course to Andromeda
-Turians are confirmed in the game
-The Heleus Cluster is noted as having a significant amount of "Golden Worlds", or planets ripe for life
-Each ark is led by a "Pathfinder"
-The Pathfinder, recon teams and others onboard are in cryosleep, unaware of what transpires in the Milky Way after they depart
-You play as either Scott or Sara Ryder, the children of Alec Ryder (pathfinder of the human ark)
-Alec Ryder is voiced by Clancy Brown
-Events at the start of the game occur that pass this role down to you, you are untested and unproven, unlike Commander Shepard of the previous trilogy
-This doesn't mean Mass Effect is Ryder's story from now on, they want the game to feel like a complete story (while teasing other stories that could happen)
-More customization options than previous games
-You can customize your father and your sibling, though not as extensively
-The "Nexus" is basically a forward command center staffed by multiple species that arrives in Andromeda early to pave the way for the Arks
-The Hyperion (humanity's ark) arrives at an incorrect location that's volatile and loses contact with the other arks and Nexus

cont.

Inspiration
-The (much improved) Mako of ME1, the loyalty missions of ME2, the multiplayer of ME3

Combat
-Global cooldowns are now replaced by individual timers
-Powers are instead hotkeyed for quick use, no longer pausing to bring up a wheel and aim
-Dynamic cover system (ala TLOU)
-Still a cover based shooter with a goal to get the player moving around the battlefield more
-Jetpack allows for more movement variety; you can quick dash instead of rolling
-Jetpack has a hover function that allows you to hit enemies seeking cover or survey your surroundings
-Less emphasis on linear, clearly telegraphed environments that tell you a combat encounter is coming (though linear areas are still in the game)
-Game Informer's hands on was positive, feel the game has a clearer identity in combat than previous games
-You still queue up attacks, combos, order your squad, etc
-All key elements are still intact but the studio wanted to encourage more experimentation and wider variety of abilities
-Class system is gone; instead you have full access to abilities from all classes, you can mix and match skills from tech, soldier or biotics
-Goal is to allow players to try different approaches to combat without being locked in at the start
-However, you can still specialize once you invest enough points into a category of skills, you unlock a profile that can get you bonuses for your particular play style
-This is where class names like "Vanguard" (invest in combat and biotics) and "Adept" (invest in biotics) resurface
-Invest in multiple categories and you unlock the "Explorer" profile
-There is a narrative reason that allows you to reconfigure your points throughout the game so that you can try out multiple gameplay approaches without making multiple characters
-You can customize your helmet, chest, shoulders, arms and legs, more extensive than previous trilogy
-Many familiar weapons return, as well as new melee options like swords and hammers
-The 'Kett' are the main enemy
-The team wanted players to experience the first time encountering a new alien species vs already having it established in prior games
-Rather than painting them as mortal enemies, BioWare wanted to make them feel foreboding but not ugly as they want you to also empathize with them
-Instead of having "linear slices" of planets that you land on, you explore these planets from the surface to their underbelly
-Critical paths, optional planets, major hubs, loyalty missions return
-Your land vehicle is designated the "Nomad", and the team got special guidance from NFS developers on its handling.
-The Nomad isn't sluggish and cumbersome like the Mako, it's very fast, still boosts and maneuvers much better
-The Nomad doesn't have weapons, you can customize things like its speed and appearance
-BioWare did not want to repeat having things like mineral nodes and multiple identical outposts scattered across planets
-Points of interest include combat encounters, puzzles, narrative beats etc on planets
-One planet, called 'Elaaden', is flagged as a possible habitat zone, however the surface is hazardous (no water, extremely hot); you can be pointed in this direction in multiple ways, for example, a Krogan can request the Pathfinder to find a missing colony ship or you can just choose to land on the planet yourself and see what you find
-On planets, one of your priorities is to scout for drop zones for your crew that drop "forward stations" that establishes a foothold for you
-These stations allow for changing up your loadout, fast travel point, etc
-Planets can have multiple dangers like acid pools, burning wreckage, weather etc that can all kill you
-Most planets have at least one major enemy base
-Planets can have areas, encounters and "super bosses" that are too tough for you to handle at first, encouraging players to come back later
-Since Andromeda is a new galaxy, Ryder can actively scan and discover things in the environments; that gets sent back for analysis and unlocks new technologies for the player
-Scanning and discovering these things also allows you to obtain blueprints to craft weapons and armor for yourself
-You can create a wide array of items, not just ammo types and weapon mods, items that haven't been seen before in the Milky Way (thanks to new alien tech)
-Some plot threads and missions lead you across multiple planets

cont.

Squadmates
-Peebee: Asari squadmate shown in previous footage. Went off on her own after arriving on the Nexus and described as having a "bubbly personality". She's smart and not concerned with social norms and "niceties".
-Liam: Arrived with the Pathfinder, former police officer and described as having a "light attitude", bringing levity to situations

The Tempest (Your Ship)
-Important to harken back to the Normandy as it was a fan favorite
-There are no loading screens as you move through the ship
-Galaxy map returns but rather than piloting a mini ship on a map, it is more immersive, you select a planet, the game gives you sense of traveling towards that planet, and when you back out, you're immediately at your destination
-You don't pilot the ship manually, but it feels seamless as you go from planet to planet and see them from your bridge getting closer in the window
-They wanted a seamless experience from picking a planet to walking down to your cargo hold, hopping into the Nomad and landing on a planet. There is a landing sequence and you get off the ship. No more loading screens and instantly popping up on the surface of a planet.

Relationships/Characters
-There are more relationships in the game than any other Bioware game (as they noted fans make a big emphasis on romance in the games)
-The squadmate with the least amount of lines in Andromeda has more lines than the squadmate with the most amount of lines in ME3
-Due to complications in the awakening process, your sibling won't join you in combat but you can interact with them and build a relationship
-Many of these dealings are optional, and discovering more about the Ryder family is a plot thread
-BioWare is confident the details of this story are what differentiates it from a traditional "hero's journey"
-Loyalty missions return but they are not critical to the ending of the game; you can complete them after you complete the main story path for example
-Emphasis that relationships don't just culminate in a sex scene, but rather characters can just want to get in the sack, while others are interested in long term relationships and others still aren't interested at all. Bioware wanted to capture more "shooting bottles with Garrus" moments in the game, of which there are plenty

cont.

Multiplayer
-More evolved and refined form of ME3
-Card based economy where you earn XP and credits
-There are microtransactions but no real world money is required, you can unlock normally
-You still set the map, enemy, as before but you can also activate modifiers that can give you decreased health (for greater reward) or more damage (less reward)
-Bioware also plans to release custom crafted missions with unique modifiers that players can't change themselves
-These custom missions give you a 3rd currency, "mission funds" which allow you directly purchase items and weapons vs the mercy of random card packs; however these items are only available for a limited time in the store and can change often
-In MP, you play as the "Apex Force", a militia strike team from the Nexus
-Different enemies require you to use different tactics (some are shield heavy, some use heavy biotics etc)
-Playing MP will have advantages for the single player but it absolutely does not affect the ending of the game
-New "Prestige" mechanic added: With several types of characters, you earn regular XP and prestige XP. The prestige XP goes into every character of that 'type', for example 'tanky' characters. Earning enough prestige can grant you added health for all tank characters, etc.

Choices
-No more Paragon/Renegade system
-They want more nuance and subtlety and giving the player more opportunity to express themselves
-You can agree or disagree with someone without being punished or cornered into a paragon or renegade choice
-Dialogue option tones: heart, head, professional and casual.
-These don't affect you or sway a meter one way or another, rather they allow you freedom without worrying about unintended consequences
-"Narrative actions" (previously "interrupts) return but rather than giving a "red"=bad or "blue"=good choice, it can say "shoot", leaving more ambiguity to your choice
-Decisions aren't necessarily obvious "right" or "wrong", there are pros and cons to each and you'll just have to play the game the way you want

The future
-Mass Effect: Andromeda leaves the door open for more games (obviously)
-New game+ mode allows you to change your gender if you choose
-BioWare is coy about multiple endings; "it's a suprise", "it's different than the trilogy"

You could always tell when a fight was coming because of the convenient waist-high debris scattered everywhere.

Ugh

How?
Explain how shitting on a product shitting on a company screams to someone.
BUY THIS GAME!
I bought Mount and Blade because when I heard it discussed hear it was positive.
I bought it after doing research and had a fucking great time I put 3000+ hours into SP alone till I found the multi was good as well.

People damage control and have PR for a reason bad publicity doesn't push sales.
Fucking retard.

Oh my sweet Kek its another Sara

...

...

yeah bonus point for OP not being fag and webming straight away

Ayys let the jew cut their dick?

This is going to be a shitshow of wonderful proportions.

I already dislike her

...

So will the game be playable with one hand so your shitpalm doesn't get the controller all gross?

WTF? Thats exactly what you were doing all the time in DAI

These fucking people are truly deplorable.

...

hey remember when people were mad at mass effect 3 because it's a shitty game

journalists all said it was homophobes because bioware added gay romance and characters, then ea plastered themselves with the lgbt rainbow

fun times

>no gameplay except maybe for like .25 seconds
It's shit and it hasn't even released yet.

Delivery for mister dubs man.

user, please, Dora at least has enough spine to tell Swiper to fuck off.

I'm probably not getting it. But I will appreciate more asari porn.

...

it's going to be shit

...

BioWare has done a lot of horrendous shit I'll never forgive them for, but what broke the camel's back for me will always be Tali's face reveal. A fucking shitty stock photo human photoshop. Too many of these fucking ME aliens are already humanoid, at least make Tali look like her concept art. But no.
To this day, I have not purchased nor even played - for a second - Mass Effect 3. I will always pretend it does not exist.

I miss the days before pop songs were used to sell games

tfw you live in the same city as this dick

Go pee on his door.

#FuckinRekt

Or when game trailer music was taken from the fuckin' game

I still don't get why they didn't go with the theory ending in me3 when they released the new endings.

...

I can't wait until the game comes out and there's a character solely made so they can make the joke Peebee And Jay. You know they'll do it. You fucking know it.

...

Ahahahaha holy shit this cannot be real

If you defeat the Rapers then why haven't the Leviathans taken over the galaxy again?

Liara is the only Asari porn I'll ever appreciate.

...

Let me guess, the only romance options are aliens and fags? Bioware deserves to burn.

HUMANITY FIRST

Cool posters, but

that would actually make for an interesting story, bu no we get another ANCIENT EVIL HAS AWOKEN plot

...

...

That's not my point user,
Cerberus is undoubtedly one of the worst things to happen to the series.

You disgust me user.

thnx

remember this?

She look like your typical French woman, ugly and snobby.

From what I've gathered, the plot of Andromeda is that you're part of the ark that fled the Milky Way galaxy, away from the reaper invasion. And there you discover new all-powerful aliens and civilisations that are evil for… reasons? Looks good, but they're still keeping those janky fucking animations. They need a new animation team.

Another one of those characters, huh?

...

why do they have to ruin my favorite galaxy?

nice post

This is supposed to come out in Spring 2017? There's still no actual gameplay yet, are they gonna try and build up hype leading up to its launch or will they deliberately under-market it and force review embargoes because they know its bad?

But their the edgy choice so that makes them really cool XDDDDDD!!!!

They need a new writing team.

most likely, it worked for beth, ubishit, and bungie.

...

I thought Cerberus was a black ops group that went rogue and started doing human experimentation for corporate clients in the first one.

You could've joined Terra Firma.

They have needed one for the past decade.

I can't quite decide who is uglier.

However, I have faith that BioWare will find a way to create a character more awful than Elfpig ever was. Shrek already has Mary Sue written all over xer.

They need a new everything.

Does Bioware have anyone working there that's seen a real pair of tits? They have no idea how to fucking make them look right.

They do it on purpose.

Come on, user.

There wasn't any rhyme or reason behind anything they did in the first game. They were basically a mad scientist paramilitary group. As far as I remember they never actually worked for anyone after they went rogue, they just did crazy dumb shit with whatever they could get their hands on because science and power.

Not that ME2 or 3 handled them any better. Every bit as stupid as they were in ME1, while also being thrust into the spotlight and having the ton of blanks filled in with even dumber shit.

The belt looks like its vainly trying to keep the tits from sliding even further down. Someone at Bioware has a fetish for tribal African negress boobs.

It does look like a raccoon.

It's all coming together to make the worst possible game, in all aspects. But dont worry, even if it takes some years, these cash grabing practices will die. Among the normalfag circles I am sort of adjacent to, I hear them talk shit about new asscreed games, the division, no man sky, mgs5 and the zombie shit… whereas the new doom, which was an incredible breath of fresh air to their eyes, was great and everyone bought it. There's gonna be a change in favor of gameplay soon, I dont know how it'll go but it cant be worse than what we have right?

Again, you mongoloid, any publicity is good publicity. Besides, the "shitting" people are doing is pretty stale anyway. And as you can see, there are the occasional shills who post info about the game and there are the occasional retards who will think "Man, perhaps the game isn't so bad after all?" and before you know it we'll have idiots clamoring for an Andromeda General or some other crap.

I know they moved from bioware forums to origin oens but did they shut those down too?

I dont think that's how it works. What would've happened if no one forced time and time again the no man sky real bullshit everywhere? It might have sold even more copies, everyone would have fell for the misleading advertising. Sure some people might look at the empty trailers and think Damn that looks good I have to buy it, that kind of people is beyond hope, they'd see the game announced on steam or kotaku or whatever they use and buy it anyways

I checked, origin has some forums up but they dont look too relevant. Besides, they'd be even more controlled than bioware's

The game is being made for tumblrtards for whatever inane reason (because BioWare is staffed by retards) so you can expect the male choices to be more pleasing to the eye (at least to the landwhales).

Peegee is already awful, and we know next to nothing about her, but the fact they're mentioning a character that is only looking for a quick fuck brings back memories of DA2 and the party members there.

I still can't quite grasp why Western developers are so utterly incapable of making female characters attractive to a male audience. It's not even that fucking hard. Don't make them promiscuous whores, don't make them opinionated bitches, don't make them ugly, add some gap moe traits. It's not rocket science.

They might even remove the color endings. That article did say they are keeping quiet about the endgame, and knowing this is BioWare, the fact that loyalty missions have no effect on the plot and consequences are further nerfed, I can tell this will be another linear, open-world shitfest.

That's not really reassuring though. Then again, baby steps.

Well, consoles might die and big publishers could all switch to mobile. That's about as bad as it can possibly get.

That aside, the same thing that is happening to the movie industry (and that Lucas and Spielberg predicted) is now happening to the game industry too. Big budgets discourage publishers from financing experimental titles, audiences get progressively more bored with the same repetitive gameplay and yearly franchises and stop buying games, thus shrinking profits, but the publishers are geared towards making only blockbuster AAA titles and can't restructure themselves quickly enough to adapt to new market realities, cue massive losses in revenue and a domino effect.

More casual combat, more romances for them tublerins, retconn story (how the fuck did they build 5 inter-galaxy ark ships? Up to mass effect 3 nobody listens to shepard but few other spectres). This is beyond idiotic. They'll tank hard. This is it for bioware. Finally.

It also means the Reapers will probably be in it again. Some split off to go after the arks, were out of range of red/blue/green.

Not really. There are two kinds of bad publicity, the objective and the subjective kind.

Objectively bad publicity is when people become aware the car model you're selling is prone to spontaneously catching on fire for no good reason, or your mobile phone exploding in the costumer's hand. That's the kind of bad publicity that hurts sales.

Subjectively bad publicity is, for example, what the Hatred developers went for. They deliberately presented the game as "offensive" and let the gaming media do the shilling for them, knowing full well that journalists screaming their faces off about the next mass murder simulator was going to make their target audience take notice, either because they like the scope of the gameplay or because they are drawn to the controversy and whining of the media.

Note that this can only work when you know there is a substantial demographic out there that will want to buy the product when informed about all the "bad" content it features.

BioWare's problem is that their primary audience is white, heterosexual men (going from the fact that 80% of players used the default male Shepard), while they are actively marketing and tailoring the game towards the blue-haired, landwhale, tumblr audience, and on top of that the members of the dev team are shamelessly expressing their political opinions and being racist towards the core player base.

Do you think there are enough cuckolds and tumblrtards out there to make BioWare a profit?

Sounds like misogynistic fantasies of manchildren. Real women are repulsive, annoying and without morals.

The point of fantasy is to escape reality. Women are seldom nearly as attractive as a lot of the game characters used to be, let alone have as pleasant of personalities. If I can accept a world where warping reality with your mind is a known somewhat common thing, then I can accept a world where women are not insane bitches.

You beat morals into them, with a cane.

The real kicker is that you don't hear women bitching about "unrealistic" depictions of men in fiction, nor do they mention that the "male power fantasy" looks and behaves suspiciously like their own idealized, fictional male fapbait.

You are right, but I was making fun of how these developers seem to insist that pleasant women don't exist at all.

Fantasy can serve many purposes. Escaping reality is only one of them.

They could have closed the trilogy in a smarter way.

Having the war taking more than a shitty game makes more sense than ME3, if they really wanted the war to come up. They could have used the established franchise for stories that differ from "zave da galaxy chosen one11!".

You make what you know.

True. There are frequently things to learn from them.

What?
Links?

Literally 5 seconds
forum.bioware.com/

But why?
What's the story behind this?
What's the purpose for this?

It's a dead SH and it has to cut costs, that's why.

...

this is nice.

this gave me adhd

The real question is if it actually includes the game.

Wow. Not buying shit while this piece of shit is running the show. Hope he gets cancer.

Why does the media always try to run with this retarded narrative whenever people just plain don't like shitty games? DmC, ME3, DA:I, etc.

All of them got huge media responses about how the fans are retarded and are bigots in one form or another. Is it really that hard to understand that a game flopped because it was shit?

some people argue that racism is a good thing

That's the only thing that makes this unbuyable to you, when Bioware hasn't made a game worth even a pirate for years?

Honestly, I might just get it for the Multiplayer. ME3's MP was actually really fun once you got past how stupid it was.

Made me giggle

Bioware only has one storytype they can write, and that is the only one they know.

too video gamey? do you need more game theory?

...

1. they get to further the sjw agenda
2. it absolves them of the responsibility of failure
3. (((certain people))) are trying to destroy the video game industry so flopping is on purpose, negative profits are on purpose

kek

They arent trying to destroy the industry, they just value propaganda over profit with certain games.

Trust me, they are.
Gaming is one of the (if not the) last entertainment and escape mediums of the white male.

...

When did that happen?
I know about the punching, I did that in ME2, it was very satisfying.

youtube.com/watch?v=jnK7nmf4BUo

not going to lie though, game looks dope

Pretty sure you can't sexually abuse Jack.

Here's a question for general bioware stuff:
How did they go from making DA:O, where
and many others, how did bioware go from that to Comandaress Sheparda, gay crew members, romance with a robot, hatred towards males, humanity being the shittiest space race and others?

End yourself!

there was also this "thing"

just like society changed so did people and objectives for games

lul sorry I lurk a lot more than I post

Don't.
ISHYGDDT

By pandering to the "untapped" audience of Social Justice

This. Every time I want to start a new game in ME3 I stop right after the Mars mission and go to the multiplayer. Sure it was just another horde mode with the best gear locked behind RNG crates but it was fun.

check this out

sent :^)

amg u liek gaem I donut! muh Shell!!! :^D

cute but dont actually buy gas from gas companies, make your own like linux for free

I would be more willing to buy this edition if it didn't had game.
The concept of exploring planet with ancient civilization is fucking awesome but it is bioware and they will do everything wrong.

good one

That is really counter intuitive, I think. I could see them doing it, but fucking up an industry that has been shown to be able to successfully pull off fairly big successes with just one person working on it is a bit more difficult than say Hollywood which is bloated to shit thanks to their business practices.

Still, it pays to never underestimate scum.

good plan friend, respect

I thought they did a solid job with the ME trilogy just the ending fucking sucked donkey dick but overall they did a pretty damn good job creating a believable semi living galaxy which is impressive, yeah they do muh species mixing and all but it's fantasy and some faggot is going to ship them anyway so let him get his rocks off for free idc

Miranda was the best either way though lel

problematic content!!!

It's flat as fuck tho

I'd really like a game about xenoarcheology. A really dry one, where you wander ancient crumbling halls, parse information from ancient corrupted data archieves and look at wall doodles of long gone people detailing their degenerating artistic styles.

Shitty modeling and rigging job, not to mention the textures. Looks like a plastic cast toy figurine.

WE

I'd hide those figures as well

ice cold

No

Who looked at that and thought it made sense?

I was just joking holy shit

Maybe, but do you know why it's sold 4.7 million?
Because it's been in practically every sale on every digital storefront (I imagine physical too) since about a week after its release. Not even joking, go look at the sale on the PSN now. It was also in the sale they had going on before halloween. It's constantly on sale, same with Battlefield Hardline. It seems to be how EA bumps up the sales figures of games that are performing spectacularly badly.

After 4 years of development, Electronic Arts has nothing to show for Mass Effect 4. E3 we got a "we're making a game" doc. At the Playstation Pro reveal we got a tech demo and now we have a cinematic (read Prerendered) trailer that is receiving mixed impressions even amongst normalfags on Reddit.

No gameplay should be the largest red flag you need about this game. It's built onto of Inquisition's systems to reduce costs or so EA said and still we have nothing just mere months away from it's launch (Spring) not even a set release date.

This game is going to launch as a disaster. Mark my words.

It's explained in another trailer that 3 other archs are leaving the Milky Way aside from humanities arch. It's a shit tier reboot.

...

MAD BANTER

When a game is in the EA vault, does it count as a sale too?

...

Wouldn't surprise me. Weren't they using time played as an indicator of the games popularity as opposed to number of copies sold at one point?

Obligatory

Who's the va on the webm? I know he made that one with UN calling isis and I think the rest of his content could be interesting

Did he voice all three of them? Because the Jew was awesome.

webm reactions get the point across better.

leviathan dlc doesn't fucking count.

...

Of course, since with a media campaign you're building hype which drives sales, but with time played you're viewing the actual play value of the game.

No Man's Sky is a good example: it sold well enough, but it's current time played is close to zero.

>when you land on the planet, you're already dead, you just don't know it

...

or the opposite: the dangerous alien life form is so tiny it can get through the fibers of your space suit

fuck
>1-100 chance that you get a cinematic where you escape successfully

>your character and everyone on your ship just dies
>you get one fucking chance when in your medlab to realize you fucked up as it VERY briefly blips that there is a "contaminant on ship" before it vanishes and you "pass your heath scans"

>you're infected with an ultra micro organism that takes it's sweet time killing you
>it maintains the status quo that "you go to that planet, you're fucking dead, kiddo"
>only this time, it means your save file is fucked because it doesn't just send you back to your last save and it doesn't kill you until the final stretch of the game

...

well at least it s fun to laugh at the normalfags making fun of Michael bay while loving thoses kind of trailer
