Top 5 Hopes for Mass Effect Andromeda

FGE - The first Mass Effect trilogy is often noted as the Star Wars of videogames (original, not the prequels), and it isn’t hard to see why. The games featured a truly compelling story, companions who felt real and authentic, and some of the most tense and heart-breaking scenes ever featured in a videogame. It’s easy to see why Bioware have been acclaimed for producing some of the best RPG’s of all time. With the release of Mass Effect Andromeda just around the corner, here is a list of features I hope will be included in this highly-anticipated release.

Just please be a game worth remembering. Too many games this generation have been underwhelming. We've gotten a lot of good ones, but for me the last game I played that was truly amazing was TLOU.

'I remember allowing the Rachni queen to live in Mass Effect 1, which resulted in her being a powerful ally in Mass Effect 3. I was amazed how a choice I made had purpose.'
Strange, I remember having to fight the offspring corrupted by the Reapers because the queen was captured. It was only after releasing the queen that she becomes a war asset, not really a 'powerful ally'.

'Maybe a similar choice to the Ashley and Kaiden scenario?' Apparently Bioware stated your companions cannot be killed.

'we’ve seen Peebee – a character who isn’t your typical Asari, but in fact she seems quite the opposite.'
Liara wasn't a typical Asari either as she was a Pureblood, and preferred to work on remote digs researching the Protheans. Samara and Morinth were also not typical Asari.

Sega Saturn made it but not the 360. Don't remember Saturn having a horrid rrod rate. Absolutely horrid

The launch games were all right, but look at how Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA compared to their re-releases.

Mass Effect Companions, Ranked from Worst to Best

From Xfire: "BioWare's Mass Effect franchise took gamers on a fascinating universal sci-fi journey that will never be forgotten. While fighting against the ever-looming threat of the Reapers was central to Mass Effect's storyline, what made the series so iconic was its vast and diverse cast of characters.

Not only do these companions accompany Commander Shepard as you make your way through hell and back, but, throughout your journey, you also get to learn who these characters were and are and what they think about what it is that you are doing. Some will even fall in love with you, and others will even become your enemy based on your decision."

When I looked at the list I thought they were saying Garrus was the worst lol. And tali being so far down the list was fighting words for me. But the numbered list is just the order they are shown so you are forgiven.

CYALTR1076d ago

I think they listed them from worst to best. Also keep in mind that this includes Andromeda characters that aren't part of the remastered trilogy. Interesting refresh on the characters though.

sourOG1076d ago

They did but I didn’t realize it until I started reading. That’s just the order they are shown.

I couldn't stand Miranda I could never like her as a character and I always skipped Jacob and James. I always liked Grunt, Jack, Legion, Tali, Garrus, Samara, Liara, Wrex, Edi, Zaeed, Kasumi I always use these characters. Using Martin Sheen as the Illusive Man just fits the character like using Keith David as Admiral Anderson was another good choice always feels like Goliath from Gargoyles is yelling at you which I like.

Rebel_Scum1075d ago

Kinda weird having a question mark at the end of that sentence?

Soy1075d ago

Garrus is best space bro.

Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2021

Zahi AR. from Link Cable Gaming writes “Welcome back Link Cable Gaming fans, with me in andromeda. Specifically, Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2021. With the recent announcement of Anthem shutting down its future plans, I wanted to look at another recent BioWare game. My switch to a PlayStation 5 destroyed my save file right while I was at the end. So, I decided to do a fresh start on the new console to see just how well (or not) it’s been since launch. How has the new generation of hardware treated the game that fell from grace? Should you play Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2021? Let’s find out.”

Such a good game! It got a 4K X1X upgrade and it looks fantastic! Also like the story! Was playing it again before Series X dropped. Going to download it for the Series X, as soon as I have more room on my HD. Playing too many other games right now.

Instant resume is AMAZING! I can Switch between 5 games in seconds. Like 10 to 15 at the most! No closing a game and opening another one! Thank you Microsoft!

It’s was decent to me. I didn’t feel the magic I felt when I played two or even three. I don’t know. It was repetitive, and the worlds felt bland.

jeromeface1141d ago

There's a reason it reviewed so poorly in the first place... these reasons among others.

anast1141d ago

I had a lot of fun with this game, but I haven't played 2 or 3 yet.

giovonni1141d ago

2 was wonderful, three was just as good as two the ending though 🤦🏾‍♂️

Wintersun6161141d ago

I finally gave it a go last autumn and was amazed by how bad a game can be. And believe me my expectations were low. After 10ish hours I just had to give up.

giovonni1141d ago

I powered through it, myself. It was just repetitive, and the Land Rover Exploration wasn’t interesting at all. The story also we mahhhhhhh.
