How's the game so far minus the technical issues? Do you get any of the old Mass Effect awesome feels/vibes from the story or mystery or anything?

[MENTION=4177]NaNoW[/MENTION] :
Hopefully this will shed light on why I bring up a games scope in question.
Witches 3 uses complex algorithms to generate dialogue animations but they further hand craft and fine tune it which is why it looks better than anything of similar scope in the genre. Andromeda's troubled development probably didn't allow them to do that. Horizon is a significantly smaller game with nowhere near the amount of dialogues like in full fledged RPGs but even their implementation isn't setting any new standards.
[MENTION=26]Chandoo[/MENTION] : And there you have it. Ive already covered all the differences for you. Im surprised DF noticed the higher quality assets too.
Bhaee if you're going to use a super rig running the game at 4K/60, at that point if you don't see any differences you might as well have thrown all that money down the drain
1. Its downsampled to 1080p, the game has a built in scaling option for non-4K displaysBhaee if you're going to use a super rig running the game at 4K/60, at that point if you don't see any differences you might as well have thrown all that money down the drain
2. They mention even if youre shooting for 1080p at 30fps, ultra offers significant upgrades, which is the whole point youre missing.
3. And, it doesnt take their super rig to achieve 1080p30 Ultra.

Eh, I'm happy with the Pro upgrades as they are where it's being compared to the highest PC settings but guess I'm missing out on upgrades which only last on screen for a few seconds
The cost to performance ratio is the biggest factor here that keeps me away from a gaming PC, everyone has their vices.

anyway...
I also developed a scientific research lab as opposed to military, games hyping it up as a major decision lets see how far reaching the consequences are. I quite like the scanning mechanic, its quick, snappy and ties well into the crafting mechanic.
Jaal is an interesting character and the most competent squad mate.
Rolling with 2 favorite load outs, soldier and vanguard. Changing on the fly without any UI navigation (hot keys on PC) keeps the combat flowing smoothly. Mixing up class abilities is such a step above the previous games.

Finished. Surprisingly short game if you don't do much of the side stuff.
Mass Effect: Andromeda is a game with a few decent ideas, but ultimately poor execution in nearly every area. Here's a breakdown of my impressions:
What works
- Atmosphere: manages to retain the feel of western-styled space opera
- Exploration: traversing the varied and large planets isn't half bad, and it helps that the Nomad is mechanically easy to maneuver
- Skill progression: character classes, customization, and ability trees
- Gameplay mechanics: vertical and horizontal thrust lend some mobility and verticality to combat encounters
What doesn't work
- Story: B-grade plot devices, B-grade character development, B-grade dialogues
- Gameplay mechanics: awkward character movement, platforming, and a poorly implemented dynamic cover system
- Camera: unnecessarily zooms in too close to your character during combat; becomes annoying when you need to do some light platforming mid-combat
- Hit reactions: or the lack thereof
- Animations: it isn't just Addison's face that's tired
- Scanning: useless, one-dimensional, tacked-on mechanic
- Enemy AI: easy to confuse and often braindead when approached from the rear
- Multiplayer netcode: awful, just awful
The negatives outweigh the positives, and hence this gets a 6/10 from me.
TL;DR Mass Effect: Andromeda is the Resident Evil 6 of the current generation.

finished already ? that was quick
I redeemed the pre order codes, it comes with a sweet ass chrome skin for the mako and armor gives 25% increase in experience earned. I ain't complaining.

@Chandoo: I wouldn't have minded the visual downgrade but the game still stutters and drops frame rate on the PS4, just like it did for me on the Xbox One. So playing it on PS4 Pro is really disappointing experience because if they can't even use the extra hardware power, it defeats the purpose of playing it on Pro.
P.S Yes, I played it on Pro and Xbox One using early access.
Overall, this is a major disappointment on consoles that might be salvaged somewhat on PC. Hopefully it fails commercially so the developers learn a valuable lesson.

Man I've been trying real hard to dull the hate for the game, I'm trying to like the game (not that the game is making it any easier), it's just a big bummer seeing one of the best (and my favorite) new franchises of the last few years getting treatment like this.

You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.iampasha said: -
