Mass Effect: Andromeda

I've got a soft spot for any sort of sci fi rpg, so even if it's not as good as previous titles, i'll probably still love it.

Yeah, that's fairly true of me too. I'm sorta expecting to be disappointed compared to the original trilogy, but still to be happy enough to have a game of this type to play that's probably going to be of reasonable quality. If that makes sense.

Anything Dead Space or Mass Effect related I'm buying, simple as:-)

Same studio name but it's actually a different studio and without the Doctors helming a mass effect game for the first time.

nitpicking i know, but bioware aren't what they used to be, maybe andromeda will change that, maybe it wont, can but live in hope

yeah their just another ea studio now imo, pity as they used to be my number 1 developer

it's official now, 23rd for us, 21st for Merica

Either Origin have gotten this arsebackwards again or they've changed the release date again,

March 22, 2017 11:00 PM GMT.

Still a day later than the US, and tbh it's a day and 23 hours.. but yeah, 11 bells iva Wednesday night.

Cinematic trailer tomorrow according to the me facebook page

Gbear · 26-01-2017 06:57PM

Trailer's kinda **** but cinematic trailers are only important if Blizzard are making them because they look amazing then.

Dave_The_Sheep · 26-01-2017 07:51PM

At least it's in-game footage (or close enough). Harsh to compare that to Blizzard's efforts (which I love, admittedly).

Not really a fan of the voice of what I assume is the main character. Seems, I don't know, not serious enough. As if it's all a big game.

Oh, wait.

degrassinoel · 26-01-2017 08:50PM

Rubber faces on the lot of them. And Fem Ryder was nowhere to be seen.

They all pale in comparison to the ME cast. Even Jacob Taylor (the most boring and whingy, moaning crybaby in the universe of ME)from ME2 had more charisma in him than this lot, well except maybe for that one panicked Salarian guy.

That trailer was a whole lot of nothing, it barely gives anything on what the mission is and the rest is just ship porn.

I have a krogan.. yeah, but it's not Wrex or Grunt.. or even Wreav. Why should anyone care without some character background?

I am apprehensively optimistic :P

That video shows off the combat system so much better than the first trailer which made combat seem very clunky.

Remouad · 19-02-2017 09:17PM

Have they released the recommended spec for this yet?

Oh my God this is so much better than all the crap they've shown us already. Hype meter...rising...

degrassinoel · 25-02-2017 01:47AM

pc specs as linked by bioware

Damn!
Only just built my machine and I'm struggling to make the recommended spec!

flyingsnail · 25-02-2017 10:45AM

I don't meet the minimum CPU or GPU

:(:(

Gbear · 25-02-2017 11:35AM

I was planning on getting nearly a whole new system but I was probably going to wait until Vega came out.

With the good press Ryzen is getting, maybe I'll shift to a whole AMD build sooner rather than later to get ahead of this.

jumbobreakfast · 25-02-2017 03:04PM

There's something fishy about the CPU requirements nowadays. Battlefield 1 has even higher minimum CPU requirements:

https://www.battlefield.com/games/battlefield-1/tech

On the other hand, is this a sign that older CPU architectures just can't deliver consistent performance in games designed for directx12?

K.O.Kiki · 25-02-2017 04:19PM

Those CPUs are 4yrs+ old though.

True but I think a lot of people would appreciate if they listed several CPUs. For example I know people who play BF1 with 2500k and 2600k CPUs and I'm sure that some i3s would run it comfortably too. That makes me think that it's the same for Mass Effect.

KilOit · 25-02-2017 06:47PM

How would a Mass Effect game be that CPU intensive? i understand RTS, MMO's and some fps like Planetside 2 and BF games but a clunky third person shooter with little to no physics happening

Big maps and/or lots of AI.

Zillah · 26-02-2017 07:03PM

CPU's are so diverse and advancing so slowly right now, and games are so GPU-dependent, that I wouldn't worry about supposed minimum requirements overly much. It is very hard to compare like-with-like cpu-wise any more.

Justwinginit · 28-02-2017 12:35PM

Well, I caved and pre ordered. It's the only time I ever did, and probably ever will......until Elder scrolls 6 comes out, or Red Dead Redemption 2, or........no, stop there....less than €40 on cdkeys

On one hand I'm opposed to pre-orders generally; on the other, who am I kidding if I think there is any chance I won't be getting the new Mass Effect game. There just isn't any possibility it could be bad enough to scare me off.

I was just looking at the Origin store and they're selling multiplayer booster packs (including deluxe and super deluxe options). Would yiz ever fuck off with this profiteering nonsense?

Website is bugging out so I can't even see pricing atm.

Origin started a sale on its website a couple of hours ago so it is getting hammered.
