Mass Effect Andromeda: Shitstorm Edition - RIP Biowear

[GeorgeDaMoose]

Her full name is Pelessaria B'Sayle.

Why is there a "famous quote" from a literally who?

 

[God of Nothing]

That is a very stupid quote.

"The Milky Way was so... been-there-done-that. Even if I hadn't done it, someone had."

"Please like our shitty new setting as we try and salvage the smoking corpse..." ~ Some Ugly Blue Chick

Peebee walks to her own daredevil drumbeat and has an unrivalled thirst for adventure. She’s pathologically independent but manages to maintain a loose, even friendly spirit. Bored with the Milky Way, she would have done anything to join the Initiative – flirt, favors, fudged credentials. But to her, she was just hitching a ride to the great unknown.

Oh look, she's your average mildly spunky princess type. How original and not at all a lazy stereotype.

Fun Fact: Cmdr Talana from Star Control II is a less stereotypical character than this.

Funner fact: Talana looks like this:

Writing, Bioware. You can't do it.

 

[Jaimas]

...So they cancelled Andromeda's public multiplayer beta.

That bodes well.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

Her full name is Pelessaria B'Sayle.

Did the bitch that wrote Sera in Inquisition do this character? It's on the same tier of cringiness.

Seriously. All that character description tells me is this lady is so generic and cookie cutter she may as well be invisible.

Question is, did they find a surmountable amount of bugs that needed fixing, or is it so terrible they were told to pull it because it'd ruin the game's sales?

Well they handed IGN "Pre-release footage" sometime between Feb 20th and 25th for the video's release on the 28th.

Normally you're showing off your final product, not making sure they plaster "PRE RELEASE FOOTAGE" in a watermark when you're a month out from release.

Holy christ, that's some mediocre writing.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

It looks fucking creepy when the asian woman talks and her eyes are so lifeless

It's like she knows she is in a bioware game and just gave up.

This is not exactly new with Bioware, unfortunately

You'd think they'd learned their lesson with that when they made the main character in DA: Origins look like a soulless husk back in 2009, but I guess that requires effort

 

[Ginger Piglet]

Right, I've seen enough. I'm not buying this even if someone pays me*.

Critics will probably gush over it like a Tumblrina over Benedict Cumberbatch though because EA will pull their advertising or refuse to send out review copies otherwise.

This is the exact sort of game Amiga Power would have given 73% to because that's the lowest score you can give big name games without being sued.

* oh, if someone was to gift me a key of it I'd be moderately gracious and probably buy them a pint at a later date but I'd only do it out of politeness, not because I was actually grateful.

 

[Lackadaisy]

what is it with recent shitty games and suspended animation

 

[Secret Asshole]

 

[Replicant Sasquatch]

See if that was what he was actually experiencing that face would be perfect.

But he's obviously meant to be lovestruck after the feisty action gurl glomped him.

I think he actually is experiencing that.

*glomped by Peebee*

...YOU WEREN'T THERE MAN, YOU WEREN'T THERE!

Lets see what we have here.

Large empty zones devoid of life and filled with bullet sponge enemies? ~check
hideous and obnoxious "quirky" comic relief character? ~check
Characters are little more than walking sexual orientations? ~check
Scanning/harvesting to artificially increase playtime? ~check
Armor for both men and women is the same ugly bulky mess to avoid triggering dangerhairs? ~check
Poorly thought out and microtransaction filled multiplayer mode? ~ check

Dragon Age Inquisition in space confirmed.
