I think that I’m going to be driving around a lot. Because I liked the Mako, dagnabbit. I liked climbing up mountains, and watching the Mako tumble down them. It amused me. I am a man of simple tastes.
Continue reading Yet another Mass Effect: Andromeda gameplay preview video.
Mass Effect: Andromeda looks… more like an RPG than ME2 and ME3 did. I really do think that they went back to the first game and took a good, hard look at it to see what worked. Which is fine by me, since I’m as much of a fan of the first game as I was the second and third one.
Doesn’t look like I need to replace my machine quite yet if I want to play Mass Effect: Andromeda. On the other hand, I’m running an AMD Radeon R9 280 3GB. I’m not sure how that’s going to stack up to this. On the gripping hand, I designed said machine around Witcher 3‘s recommended stats, and those stats turned out to be over-generous… Continue reading Mass Effect: Andromeda specs out.
Looks like fun. Looks like fun that may end up being a resource hog on my computer. I need to look up the Mass Effect: Andromeda specs…
Name of Jaal. He kind of looks like a space squid-cat, only all noble-like and such. …And I cannot find a single story about the character that doesn’t eventually lead into the awkward fact that hordes of Bioware fans are already trying to figure out how to have their Mass Effect: Andromeda characters have sex with him. Hell, some aren’t even bothering with ‘eventually lead:’ it’s all about the alien sexing and the players who sex ’em, right from the start. Continue reading So, there’s the new Mass Effect: Andromeda character has been announced.
Here it is, so let’s have us a look-see.

…Right. I got an asari, a krogan, and there’s at least one salarian and turian back on the ship. And a proper exploration vehicle again. Yup, we’re good. Continue reading OK. Let’s look at this second Mass Effect: Andromeda trailer.
Details here, such as they are. I’m neither really thrilled nor really upset about the lack of a Season Pass: but then, I buy a lot of video games well after they came out. and have generated all of the DLC that they’re going to have. A Season Pass is usually cheaper than buying each individual DLC pack, but then so is buying the Deluxe or Game of the Year edition.
And in Mass Effect: Andromeda‘s case, it doesn’t even really matter anyway. I know that I’m going to buy it all anyway. In fact, I’m a little confused as to why there’s no Deluxe Edition for the PC yet. Could it possibly be that the console versions are going to have primacy of place for this title? The very idea seems amazingly subversive. And entertaining, no doubt, for those who get annoyed when us PC gamers get first crack at everything.
Watch it fast, because it might or might not go away soon:

Here ya go.
So, yeah, let me go pre-order Mass Effect: Andromeda now. Because I think that they brought back skill points. Which is suggestive of quite a lot, really.
Among other things, including a large hunk of what was left of the class system after ME2 and ME3 gutted it. Personally, I liked said class system, but I apparently was overruled… well. Moving on, it looks like more sandbox and sex in this puppy; also, more opportunities for BS around with your companions. Oh, and a proper Mako for once.
All in all, it looks essentially fine – being Queen of the Girl Scouts isn’t a character class; it’s a life choice – but then, I’m the kind of guy who would make sure to beat Vega in a pull-up contest just to prove that I can, so I am clearly not without bias here.
