Mass Effect: Andromeda

degrassinoel

seems more like a fanboy cash-in on RPS controversial and against-the-grain article. First thing he mentions is how popular his thread is on the ME Reddit

From one skewed review to another - pot, kettle, black - access tomorrow will tell all in greater detail.

Is the GMG version the deluxe version or the standard version?

Thought the character creator would make 1 twin and then the game would mess with a gene and sort out the other, but turns out you can make your twins look nothing alike and the game then combines them with a weighted advantage to your character to make the Dad.

John Walker hated The Witcher 3 and loved the ending for Mass Effect 3.

I think it's safe to completely ignore his opinion.

He's also dishonest if you look at his career. RPS were hung out to dry long ago.

That said... I]Mod note: note this link contains plot details, so spoiler warning[/I Characters literally going cross-eyed in this game.

I'm not much of a reviewer, and I know i'm going against the grain, But i am hoping to be proved wrong either tomorrow or with the release version. I might stream it though

That **** is hilarious. I wouldn't be able to finish the game from pissing myself if that happened in every conversation......

I hope FemRyder wasn't modelled on a real person's face. Because they've made the poor woman look deranged.

Yikes. Bioware are a big studio, can't be that hard to get in top tier animators/designers?

Gbear

They've made an absolute dogs breakfast of that.

degrassinoel

This might not be 100% accurate but here it is anyway..

Rumour has it, the origin and xbox versions of access will be playable from 9.30pm our time tonight. So just over an hour or so if you have access, ye should have a gander - if it turns out to be a load of waffle i'll let ye know

signed up myself, 3.99 a month is actually quite good, do you have access to the full games (bar trials live mass effect)

Yeah, there's a few decent ones on there too like Mirror's Edge Catalyst and SW battlefront, FIFA, Titanfall etc..

The trials are separate from the vault games so there's not too much confusion

One thing to note with the trials is that they're based on the game running, not on play time, so if you want to have a break, or come back to it tomorrow or anything like that, then you have to completely shut down the game, including any windows it might throw up.

This applies on PC and Xbox, make sure to properly quit out of the game.

56% - be done in 10 mins - i wanna make sure there's no streaming download issues with load times or graphic lag before i set out - the last thing ye's need is me whinging about something that wasn't the game's fault :P

degrassinoel

Streaming here if you're stuck without access

Gonna avoid all streams, especially from the start of the game. Enjoy!
