    The woke part of the game is the only thing i have problems with. But since this is the only game i know about that still is a good game even if they went woke, i am ok with it, even if it is irritating to be reminded about woke politics so often when you just want to play a cool game..

    i think the game got more hate then it deserved but i would never pussy foot around its flaws. If this game had 1 more year to cook in the over it would have been a spectacular game. The Kett could have been a seriously formiddable enemy but their narrative did not feet their aesthetic, they fucked up with the uncanny valley, the eyes are too cute like a puppy dog or cat eyes which sucks you in and makes it hard to take them seriously, its crazy the direction they went in seeing that concept art though, they could have made some insanely scary enemies. I was just thinking how i remember fighting husks from the first game and how there was an element of horror to it like zombies in a way, mean while the kett are basically human dogs with exo skeletons.

    The downright bombastic satirical ads are so damn good in 2077. I love how insane and vile and discomforting they are. They're an absolutely sickening reflection of marketing and Capitalism in our real world. They really take the satirical ads from Robocop or even Starship Troopers and run away with it. Wonderful design

    Im replaying the game and my only real compaint is there are too few para/rene choices and little to none main story choices/consequences. It was lazy that way compared to ME1-3, but it was still an incredible game otherwise.

    I just played through it (got it in 2017 but it didn't run well on my PC) I think it was pretty good. It hooked my right from the start, it seemed like the sequel to ME1 we never got. It got kinda old to the end and I actually focused on the most important stuff to wrap things up, but I really liked the cast by the end and their victory fealt great!

    Very very good Video. I agree with pretty much everything you said, except for one thing: The Vaults. I love Sci-Fi and imaginative Technoligy, but the Vaults were never explained even slightly on how they work. All that Architecture that is very pretty to look at, but I am convinced that even the Developers have no idea how they actually work. So essentualy they just slapped pretty Assets together and called it a Day.

    idk if this would be possible but I think areas the player will visit very consistently shouldn’t have the same npc’s every time. i.e. the drunk couple next to the elevator in the apartment building in cyberpunk 😅 because i am there so often it is very noticeable, i wonder if there could be a way to have alternate npc’s in highly frequented places like this

    I just played this a bit, and I have to say the visuals and gameplay are very good. It's just such a shame that after flying an awesome ship in space then landing on planets and enjoying great gameplay in beautiful vistas that I have to suffer through the abysmal dialogue. The actors try their best to salvage their lines, but it feels like being in a bad B film. The directors and writers really fumbled the bag in this one.

    It's good to find people that can appreciate the good aspects of the game. It is not a bad game at all. Yes it is flawed, yes it is not as good or as memorable as the trilogy, but if you truly appreciate science fiction you will appreciate this game. I love how this game embraces being in space.

  • @MrBIGJ79

    I still believe this game could've gotten the Cyberpunk 2077 treatment and been redeemed. Andromeda has my favorite gameplay of the series. It's just not a great Mass Effect story that DLC really could've helped with.

  • @kevinstrade2752
    @kevinstrade2752 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I played the first three Mass effects and am balls deep into this one, it's got issues but it still has good parts. I like the backdrop and back story, gives the potential for a whole new start in a new galaxy regardless of what happens in the milky way. I have come across a few sub plot side missions that are broken or very confusing to finish. I do believe I have the main story back on track though. I do want to see where this goes. I am interested enough for story sake.

  • @Il_Exile_lI
    @Il_Exile_lI 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I agree with pretty much everything you've said here, but in the end I just can't get to the point of liking the game. Despite everything it does well, which you've outlined here, ultimately it all comes down to storytelling, dialogue, characters, role playing and just overall writing quality. Those narrative elements were why I fell in love with the series in the first place, and the main things I am looking for out of a Mass Effect game, and Andromeda comes woefully short of the standards set by the trilogy. ME1's jank ass combat, texture pop in, copy/paste dungeons, and barren proc gen planetary exploration are all much worse than the equivalent aspects in Andromeda, but I'd choose to play ME1 over Andromeda 100 times out of a 100 because the story, world building, decision making and character interactions are so much better, and those things are what makes Mass Effect special to me.

    First of all I absolutely L 😍V E the ads in CB77. Secondly, I wholeheartedly agree with the video creator's takeaway. I would like to add though that advertising a product or service is not insidious in principle, it can be a handy tool for all but it's gotten so out of hand that it's hard to imagine that there could be any positive use for it. Liked and subscribed.

    About a year ago I started my first playthrough of Cyberpunk and I couldn’t get past Act 2 just cause of all the ads. It was all just too real and I didn’t want to be bogged down by the “real-world” inside a video game. Every time I looked around Night City, I was just disgusted. However, I’ve recently finished my first playthrough on the Star ending and I gotta say, this game deserves every single word of praise it gets

    Would love to see you delve deeper into the whole of kratos, because you only cover him in the newer game. And maybe even geralt from the witcher series. Because Kratos does know how to comfort, i think the reason he strays from feeling towards Atreus is because of how having feelings for people in the past got them killed by his own hands.

    I don't think Andromeda is the "best" game in the Mass Effect series, though it is the most special to me on a personal level. For one, it was actually the entry that got me into Mass Effect. I seem to remember when it came out, you could download a two-hour free trial from the PlayStation store or something? I was spellbound by the exploratory feel, and was compelled to check out what I'd missed in the earlier entries to the series before playing Andromeda proper in its entirety. The main theme music on the title screen alone is beautifully captivating. The interior design (and windows!) of the Tempest hold my imagination much more than any iteration of the Normandy ever did. The mystery of the Remnant, whilst similar in some regards to that of the Protheans in the main trilogy, felt much more intriguing to me. The Trilogy is probably "better" overall, and I'll probably replay the Trilogy more times as the years go on than I'll replay Andromeda, but I will still always have a deep love for Andromeda. You hit the nail on the head with the statement in the conclusion about "Personally, I prefer to play a game that is ambitious and falls short than a game that is safe and succeeds". That's the kind of mindset I bring in to most big franchise entries these days, whether that's games, TV, movies, comics etc. It's nice to have something safe and nostalgic and fanservice-y on occasion, but I always appreciate seeing something struggle to attempt pushing the boat out than just wallowing in franchise stagnation.
