Andrei Nesterov Because Ryder is a fully grown adult. It gets awkward when you have fully functioning adults behaving like horny teenagers with no social skills or no idea how to talk to someone they like
He was right about the rule34 lmfao. Ryder nor any of the Andromeda companions has much of any rule34 art. Kaidan Alenko who a lot of people thought was boring in the original trilogy has more rule34 content than all of the Andromeda characters combined. Shows you how much no one liked them haha.
You can check how much rule34 content there is on the official website without actually looking on it. Theres also a number behind the name showing how much there is.
Jan Crijns I mean let’s be honest were the dialogue, animations, and cinematics better it wouldn’t have been nearly as bad. Honestly with the whole finding new worlds thing sounded better and kind of unique at least to the ME franchise. But EA and BioWare failed spectacularly
Another sin: I bought this game day 1 for full price. Haven't regrettef it so much since watch dogs. Thankfully re2 and fire emblem three houses have been great day one investments
Okay, KOTOR, I get. But the original Mass Effect? Wasn't Shepard experienced enough to be considered a Spectre? I don't get how he was a new guy who was being trained by someone more experienced than him, but dies. That didn't happen in ME1. :/
Storm you went from a N7 operative working under Anderson who was benched on the citadel so you could become a captain to a ship that's not yours (also a spectre)
Storm the Shepard being ready for specters thing seemed like an informed attribute as to why Shepard would be considered more than something the story builds up to
Storm is sort of right. Commander Shepard was a N7 Operative with years of service, and was effectively mentored by Anderson (who could have been a Spectre himself if it wasn't for Saren), but Anderson didn't die until ME3. However before Shepard could become a Spectre, he was evaluated by Nihlus, a Turian Spectre who nominated him. Nihlus was originally meant to accompany Shepard for Several Missions and was likely to become his mentor, but on the first mission, Nihlus was killed by Saren. Shepard became a Spectre after proving Saren's treachery against the council and his alliance with the Geth, so the title wasn't really passed over to him by Nihlus, but arguably didn't receive the training to being a Spectre. The ancient alien Maguffin thing is spot on though.
I think that applies for kotor as well though. You already we're a badass, you just didnt know. So after some days of training you again, easily surpassed anyone
Here's one for Mass Effect fans. Remember this line? "LEMME OUT! LETMEOUTLETMEOUTLETMEOUT!" *rams into wall, snaps neck* Am I missing something, or was that nameless Salarian character leagues better than the entire cast of Andromeda? It's cool if you want to argue that, but think about it first. No awkward lines, completely fitting with what was happening, real EMOTION that made you BELIEVE in their predicament... and their deployment? Absolutely superb. Your heart skipped a beat. You asked yourself what the heck you'd just encountered. You got nervous about it. You felt it, and for those reasons, I say that just that moment alone had more power in it than anything I encountered in the entire time I spent playing mass effect andromeda. And that guy wasn't even a character you met twice. He was literally there for forty, seconds, if that.
Not a ME fan, but for fuck sake, that sounds like a much better character than any of the one's I've seen in this video 😂 That's the saddest thing I've ever read in my life
That small interaction gave serious weight to the concept of indoctrination, which was the whole motivation of Saren and those who followed him. It answered the question of why a Spectre would betray the council just for limited power from a conquering species, especially since Spectres were, by definition, fiercely independent and bad@$$ fighters. "Oh, he was just following orders" is what you think, then this guy bashes his head in on a wall and you realize it's way more powerful than you think.
Lol I love the "It takes years of skill and training to become a Pathfinder" "Pathfinder" was a last minute made up rank for the initiative, she says as if that was an already stablished and important role like a Spectre or N7.
4 years late, I know, but I'm surprised no one else has talked about this. Seriously, Pathfinder is a position they made up for their initiative and hasn't been actually used until Ryder came along; why do they keep talking about it like it's long established title with a lot of reputation surrounding it? Everyone talks like the Pathfinder is some well known trusted hero that they immeditaly trust can solve the impossiable, which is especially odd when it seems like the qualifications for being a Pathfinder are more about being decent soldier than anything that actually has to do with establishing colonies in a new alien system. What would the Pathfinders be expected to do if it didn't just conviently turn out to be a bunch of terrorforming structures (that the Initiative didn't pick up when they mass effect telescope scanned the planet?) that would make the planet's livable? "A Pathfinder would relish the challenge." It makes no fucking sense.
@@nobody2996 We’re supposed to ignore it. Just like how we’re supposed to ignore that a mass relay guard and/or an archaeologist fight like trained soldiers with years of conditioning.
@@dagothurik1815 Actually, Ryder was given N7 training from their father. That’s where Ryder’s N7 skills come from because they were given the training. Honestly, I don’t see the problem with the Pathfinder title. Their role is literally what a pathfinder is.
Yep, bcount1 and Saint. I never thought of using Text to Speech, and it's hilarious to see that it's better than the in-game dialogues. This wouldn't be a problem if this was a parody of the Mass Effect series, but nope... this is canon stuff.
In answer to your question TVtropes calls the moment when someone says something that causes the protagonist to suddenly figure things out "The Eureka Moment".
The vaults in this game remind me of the vaults from borderlands. The vault's activation in borderlands caused a change to Pandora by triggering Irridium growth, both have ancient alien tech that is user friendly based on what power you have to manipulate it, and both create a narrative about some vilian who wants to harvest that vault's power for their own goals.
I can't stand how everyone in Andromeda is so incompetent. You'd think for such an endeavor they would have hired people who won't turn into space pirates and start fighting each other within the first 6 months of arriving to a new galaxy
5:44 sin 35... untrained? Serious? Shepard in ME is already a hardened war veteran on a mission accompanied by a citadel spectre and being assessed as the first human spectre... what is there about untrained? And KOTOR? You actualy play Revan... when it comes down to "rookies taking over" it is actualy more of a Bethesda thing with TES and Fallout...
Which makes no sense because becoming a Spectre boils down to player choice/actions, and serves no purpose other than to open up a few easier dialogue options later. It doesn't change the fact that Shepherd is an N7 and war-vet of moderate/high-ranking before his/her push through the trilogy even began.
Yea I didn't get that reference either. Shepard is a special operator who has proven himself in combat multiple times in skill and leadership. Don't know what could qualify someone more.
+Ian Moffat "You can't just this game because you haven't made a game." This is just the dumbest argument. *You don't need to be an expert on game design with hundreds of games under you belt to be able to critique a game.* Would you defend Sonic 06 with your logic? ET for the Atari? All the glitchy, buggy, half-baked, shovel-ware games that are rushed to shelves before they're properly finished? I mean, games are hard to make after all. You can't hold the developers responsible for the quality of their game, _it's not like it's their "job" or anything._ I've never made a game, but when you've played dozens of games, watched people play dozens of games, and learn pay attention to the details -- you learn how to define the good from the bad. I've also watched channels like A+Start, Shesez, Extra Credits, and several gamer essays. They all explain similar AND different aspects of game design. And besides, just compare this game's aspects to it's predecessors. That's fair enough, isn't it? Then try and defend it to anyone.
Thats mainly because Bioware didnt even had the same crew working on the original Trilogy they chose a completely unexperienced crew from a small branch of Bioware to do this
How they talk about omnigel a lot but dont use it, why not plug the helmet with omnigel, you wont be able to see or fight but all you need is a literal seal for a few minutes. Also dont omnitools dispense omni gel.

@@lonestar6709 Fixed? I bought the game day fucking 1 and never experienced any game breaking glitches. Only ones I can remember was with the horse when she started to fly away after riding off a cliff... And that shit made my day more than anything.
To be pedantic, they didn't travel at an average 3943 times faster than light, I have no idea where you got that from. Distance to andromeda is 2.537 million light years 2.537x10^6 x 3x10^8 x365.2425x24x60x60 (convert into metres) Which is 2.4018x10^20 m It took them 634 years 634x365.2425x24x60x60 Which is 2.0007x10^10 seconds Speed is distance over time This gives an average velocity of 1.2x10^10m/s which is only 40x the speed of light. If they travelled 3,943 times faster they would've travelled an extra magnitude of 100m (x100m not +100m) past andromeda Yes I can be fun at parties sometimes
i think you messed up your calculation somewhere. you know a light year is the distance light travels in a year right so it takes light 2.537 million years to get from earth to andromeda and they made it there in 634 years so theres no way they are only going 40x faster than light. if they were going at 40 times the speed of light they would have only went 25,360 light years in 634 years
22:57 to be fair, the Archon didn't inject Ryder with anything, he pulled out a blood sample. Archon was messing with SAM Node in the Nexus which messed with the connection that Ryder had.
Wow Mass Effect does have the plot of KOTOR, but without the religious stuff and laser swords. Also I just remembered that the player in KOTOR is a padawan, and so is Bastila. So the Jedi counsel were sending 2 inexperienced padawans to save the galaxy
Some of the SINS could of been explained using theoretical science. But I can't stop laughing. You pointed out a lot of relevant flaws with the story and scenes that needed to be fixed. But when you're forced to put something together in 18 months after WASTING 3 1/2 years coming up with system that never worked. This is what you get. They really squandered and fucked Mass Effect up. BioWare only has itself to blame for this disaster.
@@pewpewsalote8802 EA admitted they would have had no problem with delaying this game. Trust me, read that first sentence a couple oftimes, then use Google to verify I was telling the truth.
@@ArcaneSorceror EA would say that, EA always fucks up any game they are involved with by rushing it, by saying they would have been fine with delaying the game they can take nor responsibility for it. ME3 ending that people love to hate so much is a perfect example, it was weak cause EA rushed it so they had to cut down the ending from what they wanted.
@@mystic0maggot401 Incorrect on the last point. ME3's ending sucked because Casey Hudson is yet another egomaniac of a writer who locked the other writers out of the writing room and threw out the original plot written by Drew Karpyshyn, aka the writer for most of Bioware's actually good games. He then threw a literal tantrum in public and on the Bioware forums over the reception to ME3's ending. EA is videogame satan, but Bioware is a hollow shell. The staff that made the games people loved are all gone now, and the new people obviously didn't bother to learn from them.
14:21 This is actually adressed in the game. The angara inhabit different planets. If I remember correctly, the Australian sounding ones are from Voeld, the South Africans from Havarl and the English from Aya.
Idk why but I beat the final boss without taking damage It's just so easy once you learn the OD move ( which I found out at the start of the third time I replayed the game )
*37th Sin, the Nexus being incomplete* THANK YOU!! I've always been so fucking pissed about that! I once heard someone argue "Well we took ships apart to build homes when we colonized places like America!" And I said how they're going to an entirely new galaxy, where will they get the resources to build another half of a Citadel like station? The arks are tiny in comparison! They never gave me an answer, and neither did this game!
I agree with the "why is the same species of animal found on different planets" question, but haveing watched the whole game as an LP i know now that it actually underlines a certain plotpoint of the game without outright mentioning it.
The developers definitely favored certain romance options. Male Ryder and Cora as well as female Ryder and Jaal had full nudity but Vetra gears a fade to black! Also when the hell are we getting a Krogan romance?!
Even though a ton of sins were missing, I think I enjoyed watching this more than I did actually playing the game. For me the most glaring sin is that they they arrived to Heleus to see planets that were supposedly uninhabitable, yet they had already exiled people from the initiative...who then went and inhabited planets. Makes no fucking sense whatsoever.
Funny enough, the fact that in this plotline humans figure out to activate remnant technology minutes after discovering it..., which is the classic 'white savior trope', shows clearly that it is not a "white" savior trope, but as I commented in a previous video, a main group trope. Whatever the group of identification is will be the savior in the plot.
I'm aware that this was a different team, but there was a time when bioware completely blew my mind with their dragon age lore. It's so inspired and suprisingly rich. I just can't believe they can sink this low in terms of writing
I'm probably very late on the train to say it, but there's a notable difference in your voice between the earlier sin videos and latest videos which I'm honestly enjoying. It's like they're slowly evolving, transitioning to a lower, more deadpan tone, and it just feels really cool.
Mass Effect Andromeda. The first Bioware game I completed once and have no intention of replaying again, ever (aside from MP which is fun with friends but even that is getting to be a grind already, ME3 MP was far more fun IMO) . Even ME3, DA2 and DA:I, with their flaws, I completed 3 times each. Multiple BW games I replayed a ridiculous number of times. Jade Empire about a half dozen times. KOTOR and DA:O at least the same. ME2 I played about a dozen times and I played ME1 over a dozen times.
This got me laughing quite a bit. Thanks for making my night a little better. I do wish there were a few post-finale skits and jokes like at the end of Cinema-Sins! Keep up the good work regardless!
10:19 That's the expression of someone who crapped herself. But since Ryder is a strong independent woman, she can suck it up. Then she sucks it back up.
I actually think it made perfect sense to go colonize the Andromeda galaxy because it is the galaxy closest to the Milky way and also the drive cores in the ark are far more advanced than what was used in say any of the ships we saw in the other mass Effect games which hints that your information might be just as antiquated plus as you progress through the game you learn that the reason you went to colonize Andromeda was because of the Reaper Invasion the entire mission took off while Shepard was dealing with the collectors as a contingency plan so that if on the off chance Shepard failed all of the races would not die at the hands of the reapers. plus for anyone who read the books that came before this game came out you would learn that one of the jobs of the pathfinder was that in the event of Shepard succeeding in beating the Reapers the Pathfinder would have to find a way to reconnect with the Milky way and build a way for more people to come to the Andromeda galaxy and for people who wanted to visit the place they all came from easier than what the Arks had to endure.
sin 30 - actually, it is also toxic, and is a serious issue even when the P.C. puts a small crack in their visor. trying to switch the helmet back and forth would likely end up getting both killed, and even with the helmet, the few breaths taken still knocked the player character unconscious. 36 - i will hold that the original trilogy was not someone with inadequate training. if my understanding of the universe was valid, being an N7 is being among the best of the elite. and being tapped as a spectre on top of that shows even among elites, shep was a cut above. i am surprised you didn't mention dragon age origins though. 57, ok yea that bugged me a bit until they patched it, but i wish the cross-system travel was skippable. dunno about anyone else, i actually had one human with my through the entirety of the game - cora. 64 i agree - MAYBE once or twice. 3 times a planet, occasionally allowing one to slip through? i came up with a way to blow through them without the bypasses, but it still doesn't make me dislike it any less. 70, i didn't know that scene existed, but Kallo's reaction was funny as hell. 76, this is a slight stretch, but it is possible there were scans of Ryder jr. in the area available, and they linked the two. a stretch, but still possible, assuming comperable tech. that, or he also went to eos and found a scan of the player character. 79 i blame SAM, though it doesn't explain how non-pathfinder crews would understand them, unless a VI is embedded in everyone's physiology or the omni-tool can do that. which i seriously doubt. 128 the game mentions early that SAM basically rewired parts of ryders mind. though that should probably not transcend the gap between biology and technology, i pretty much said "fk it" 131 i will straight up call out "the scourge has never once moved to follow a ship" - clearly didn't pay attention at the start of the game, where the scourge is clearly moving to intercept the Hyperion. it also moves when the tempest semi-crashlands onto aya. some i agree with to this point, others i see where you come from, this one, no. 138 i will give you though, i was disappointed there wasn't some sort of saren-style boss battle(though dear god if they did that DO NOT MODEL IT AFTER THAT FIGHT! bouncy bastard...). maybe the devs thought the brawl to get there was good enough, and that was a neat fight with the conduit, but i still wanted to end Archon Gears of War style. overall i thought the game was decent, though i usually look more at the gameplay over the animations etc. my major issue with it is actually not inherent to the game - my hard drive is damaged, and when the game taxes it a little too much, and this is fairly often, my framerate will DROP. sometimes in sets of 20-30 seconds looking at the same frame. from a gameplay side, i really liked the research aspect, they really wove the science scanner into the game, though because of how i build, i have milky way points coming out of my everywhere, and even more helius points. the only thing im short at all on is remnant points, and thats because i decided at level 30 or so i wanted to follow a different weapon to allow my weapon mods to come through. because i cant carry 2 of the same level of sniper barrel. though i would guess if the shotgun i went after wasn't one of the ones you can just always craft, i might be a little more strapped for R.P. What should have been a sin in my mind - you cannot carry more than one of any gun mod, even if you attempt to buy them from a vendor. i modded out my black widow with a Barrel V at level 30, and tried to do the same to my Inferno sniper. i could not use the barrel V i had just bought on kadara.
Regarding 36: Alec Ryder (your in-game dad) pushed the initiative to set off with an unfinished Nexus because he knew the Reapers were coming. You gain this knowledge as a part of the family secrets-quest.
Also Alec couldn't have just kept sharing his helmet with his child all while waiting for the shuttle to arrive for several reasons first off humans can't plausibly hold their breath longer than 1 minute and 30 seconds without possibly passing out I should know because I have tried it while swimming I was only able to hold my breath for about thirty seconds before I had to surface and breathe
Actually Navy seals are trained to hold their breath for 4 minutes underwater. You can train your lungs to do so. The record for longest breath held is 22 minutes.
I agree with most of the points in the video but just had one correction. The scourge isn't precisely what damaged the golden worlds - it's attracted to remnant tech, which just happens to be what the terraforming vaults on each of those worlds are made of. So when it reached and damaged each vault, the vault itself is what determined what damage occurred on each world (e.g. going crazy with heat, radiation, cold, plant life etc.) This is why the same scourge can have such different effects on each planet. The scourge being attracted to remnant tech also explains Ryder's strategy near the end, of flying remnant ships (which tow the scourge behind them) straight through the Archon's fleet, decimating it without the Initiative needing to have a fleet of their own.
I have no objections. Wich is sad because ME:A could have been so great. That´s what you get for not letting the original writers do the plot and for rushing the project.
"Letting the original writers" The original writers weren't about to be "let" shit. All of them fucked off from Bioware before ME3 was finished, and several have said you couldn't pay them enough to return for any reason, including the guy that wrote ME1 and 2. EA killed that company a decade ago, and it's just been parading the corpse around since.
the text to speech sections are sad rather than funny... just like the writing in this game... and the game in general... and what Bioware has become...
Several issues with your critique. Both riders were not only trained by Alec but also joined the military like their father. They would already have training in some areas
Here’s a trick about Sara Ryder, don’t use the default look, make your own. Even if you play the default Scott with default Alec switched on, just customize Sara. Was I the only one who did that? Cora & Suvi are hot. Peebee is the best looking Asari in Andromeda (still has nothing on Liara & Samara). Seriously any person that puts gameplay above story should love it, you can space boost (vanguard) whilst you cloak (infiltrator).
Never have I ever played a game that I skipped through the entire story because how bored of it I was. Even deleted the save data off my cloud and console storage.
You forgot the part with the creative director of this game being a racist. It becomes really clear when you read interviews he has done concerning this game.
(ENDING SPOILERS, just a warning if you're watching this and for some reason aren't expecting spoilers and just came to read comments) You can't even affect the ending at all! You can NOT fail the final mission because you didn't do enough loyalty missions and you were a downright asshole to everyone you meet. I have tried it myself, i did one play through on normal and did a good 3/4 of the loyalty missions and got the same exact ending as when i did no loyalty missions at all aside from one. I didn't help Sloane, i didn't colonise any other planets aside from Eos and basically ran through the game and none of the characters died and all of the same people came to aid in the end. Even if you say kill Sloane and keep Reyes alive i imagine it would also be the same as if she were alive just with different voice lines. It's like very very slight differences in endings with a new paint job. Another example is Vetra and her little sister who upon not doing any of their quests at all had the EXACT word for word ending as the previous time when i completed their missions. Wtf? This is not an RPG Bioware, this is you pretending to be playing an RPG when you're really being hand held all the way through. They stripped away what made Mass Effect so interesting in the first place and turned it into another Dragon Age inquisition. Come on Bioware, wtf is this?
A RPG is not defined by multiple endings and I bet that when you played the trilogy you tried to get the best possible ending, what makes the whole thing with the consequences redundant. So it's not a valid argument against it.
None of your dialogue choices really mean anything, whichever option you choose doesn't matter. You end you end up saying the same exact thing in a different way not to mention sometimes you don't even know what you're going to say at all. None of the choices you do make mean shit either outside of a few small dialogue options and such that might be closed off. Your choices will always result in you winning and no matter how you choose to go about it you win in essentially the same bloody way. For example in (SPOILERS AHEAD) Peebee's loyalty mission you can choose to kill the antagonist of the loyalty mission quest line and save this artefact or you can save her. Whichever option you choose it doesn't affect your romance options or even the way the mission ends. For some reason when you help her she takes you to her ship being flown by her minions presumably and then if you kill her you do the exact same thing for some reason allowing you to escape... Makes no sense and is just lazy af. Another example is the choice between making your outposts military and scientific and i tried both and both options look the EXACT same way. Not to mention there is another quest later that entails you stopping some Anagram rebels from attacking your outpost on EOS and it doesn't matter what type of outpost you have the quest goes the exact same way. No choice you make really does anything even the more major ones
sean rogers Wow, I hear that this game is boring AF, but you made yourself go through it twice?Da real MVP... Now, I personally LOVED Inquisition.The ending was meh, but the characters were likable and voiced pretty good.Now with this one other here...
The J. Jameson reference killed me.... lmao! Your sin count is 100% on the spot! I'm pretty sure you know where the light is coming from in a "Normal" Dyson's sphere.. but Meridian is way too small for that.
I'd argue he's wrong about mass effect as well shepherd is a war hero of N7 rank at the start of the game, up for Specter status. I'd say he's qualified for his role in the games.
Max Miller So...Jason Bourne was actually a novice rather than a rogue experimental secret agent that was trained to be the ultimate killing machine? Because of his amnesia? Is that...the kind of logic you're going with here?
"Our long range scans told us it was in the green zone" and later "a lot can happen in 600 years" were the lines that instantly caught my attention when I first heard them. I didn't hear about any scanners in ME universe that would somehow use mass effect fields to know how something looks right now no matter the distance. I'm pretty bad when it comes to spotting the flaws in the story so this must be a major flaw since I immediately noticed it.

Okay, KOTOR, I get. But the original Mass Effect? Wasn't Shepard experienced enough to be considered a Spectre? I don't get how he was a new guy who was being trained by someone more experienced than him, but dies. That didn't happen in ME1. :/
Storm you went from a N7 operative working under Anderson who was benched on the citadel so you could become a captain to a ship that's not yours (also a spectre)
Storm the Shepard being ready for specters thing seemed like an informed attribute as to why Shepard would be considered more than something the story builds up to
interestingly enough, the plot he describes totally matches dragon age: origins story, too. maybe they should hire some new writers.
Storm is sort of right. Commander Shepard was a N7 Operative with years of service, and was effectively mentored by Anderson (who could have been a Spectre himself if it wasn't for Saren), but Anderson didn't die until ME3.
However before Shepard could become a Spectre, he was evaluated by Nihlus, a Turian Spectre who nominated him. Nihlus was originally meant to accompany Shepard for Several Missions and was likely to become his mentor, but on the first mission, Nihlus was killed by Saren.
Shepard became a Spectre after proving Saren's treachery against the council and his alliance with the Geth, so the title wasn't really passed over to him by Nihlus, but arguably didn't receive the training to being a Spectre. The ancient alien Maguffin thing is spot on though.
I think that applies for kotor as well though. You already we're a badass, you just didnt know. So after some days of training you again, easily surpassed anyone
Here's one for Mass Effect fans. Remember this line?
"LEMME OUT! LETMEOUTLETMEOUTLETMEOUT!" *rams into wall, snaps neck*
Am I missing something, or was that nameless Salarian character leagues better than the entire cast of Andromeda?
It's cool if you want to argue that, but think about it first. No awkward lines, completely fitting with what was happening, real EMOTION that made you BELIEVE in their predicament... and their deployment? Absolutely superb. Your heart skipped a beat. You asked yourself what the heck you'd just encountered. You got nervous about it. You felt it, and for those reasons, I say that just that moment alone had more power in it than anything I encountered in the entire time I spent playing mass effect andromeda. And that guy wasn't even a character you met twice. He was literally there for forty, seconds, if that.
Not a ME fan, but for fuck sake, that sounds like a much better character than any of the one's I've seen in this video 😂 That's the saddest thing I've ever read in my life
I remember that, and yes he's better, real emotion. More everything
That small interaction gave serious weight to the concept of indoctrination, which was the whole motivation of Saren and those who followed him. It answered the question of why a Spectre would betray the council just for limited power from a conquering species, especially since Spectres were, by definition, fiercely independent and bad@$$ fighters.
"Oh, he was just following orders" is what you think, then this guy bashes his head in on a wall and you realize it's way more powerful than you think.
Lol I love the "It takes years of skill and training to become a Pathfinder"
"Pathfinder" was a last minute made up rank for the initiative, she says as if that was an already stablished and important role like a Spectre or N7.
4 years late, I know, but I'm surprised no one else has talked about this.
Seriously, Pathfinder is a position they made up for their initiative and hasn't been actually used until Ryder came along; why do they keep talking about it like it's long established title with a lot of reputation surrounding it? Everyone talks like the Pathfinder is some well known trusted hero that they immeditaly trust can solve the impossiable, which is especially odd when it seems like the qualifications for being a Pathfinder are more about being decent soldier than anything that actually has to do with establishing colonies in a new alien system.
What would the Pathfinders be expected to do if it didn't just conviently turn out to be a bunch of terrorforming structures (that the Initiative didn't pick up when they mass effect telescope scanned the planet?) that would make the planet's livable? "A Pathfinder would relish the challenge." It makes no fucking sense.
@@nobody2996 We’re supposed to ignore it. Just like how we’re supposed to ignore that a mass relay guard and/or an archaeologist fight like trained soldiers with years of conditioning.
@@dagothurik1815 Not really seeing the simmilarity between 'This character is surprisingly skilled' and 'The foundation of the plot is fucked.'
@@dagothurik1815 Actually, Ryder was given N7 training from their father. That’s where Ryder’s N7 skills come from because they were given the training.
Honestly, I don’t see the problem with the Pathfinder title. Their role is literally what a pathfinder is.
Pathfinder is not a rank. It’s a title/role. It’s also not made up; the US military has Pathfinders.
This whole game is a meme.
Lmao using text as speech instead!!! OMG dead 6:55

Yep, bcount1 and Saint. I never thought of using Text to Speech, and it's hilarious to see that it's better than the in-game dialogues. This wouldn't be a problem if this was a parody of the Mass Effect series, but nope... this is canon stuff.

Is this an escaped Instagram comment?
i literally laughed till my stomach hurt.
Peebee is to Andromeda, what Jar Jar binks was to star wars. A real showcase of much the franchise has fallen.
how DARE you insult Jar Jar like that
Wait until Disney buys it and churns out unasked spin offs and kids shows with generic and lore-breaking sequels. That is the true fallen.
*lazyfawn* Jar Jar sucks, no wonder they had a carbonite souvenir of him in the force unleashed
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 So true
Hey I liked peebee
In answer to your question TVtropes calls the moment when someone says something that causes the protagonist to suddenly figure things out "The Eureka Moment".
This wasnt supposed to be a horror game i was scared shitless when i saw the faces
also when the npcs twisting their heads exorcist style... or climbing walls like a xenomorph... 😂😂😂
The vaults in this game remind me of the vaults from borderlands. The vault's activation in borderlands caused a change to Pandora by triggering Irridium growth, both have ancient alien tech that is user friendly based on what power you have to manipulate it, and both create a narrative about some vilian who wants to harvest that vault's power for their own goals.
REALLY???
And the name of the spaceship that was heading to the Citadel was named Hyperion.
Andromeda literally ripped everything from the original trilogy. The kett were basically ME2's collectors.
needless to say space sci fi genre is creatively bankrupt
I can't stand how everyone in Andromeda is so incompetent. You'd think for such an endeavor they would have hired people who won't turn into space pirates and start fighting each other within the first 6 months of arriving to a new galaxy
GAME SINS | Everything Wrong With Mass Effect: Andromeda

The worst one would be Sin#31

Gorgonite Emissary wait, are you serious? The collectors edition doesn't have the game?
Oh man the text to speech thing almost killed me. Thank you.
sin #41 the text to speech delivery had more life to it than the actual voice acting
5:44 sin 35... untrained? Serious? Shepard in ME is already a hardened war veteran on a mission accompanied by a citadel spectre and being assessed as the first human spectre... what is there about untrained? And KOTOR? You actualy play Revan... when it comes down to "rookies taking over" it is actualy more of a Bethesda thing with TES and Fallout...
Valtaya Celydonn mind wiped Revan with experience of a rookie Republic soldier
Which makes no sense because becoming a Spectre boils down to player choice/actions, and serves no purpose other than to open up a few easier dialogue options later. It doesn't change the fact that Shepherd is an N7 and war-vet of moderate/high-ranking before his/her push through the trilogy even began.
Yea I didn't get that reference either. Shepard is a special operator who has proven himself in combat multiple times in skill and leadership. Don't know what could qualify someone more.
ikr Shepard had N7 rank so he was on the same level as Alec, there was no further training that you could get without a Reaper invasion :D

"You can't just this game because you haven't made a game."
This is just the dumbest argument.
*You don't need to be an expert on game design with hundreds of games under you belt to be able to critique a game.*
Would you defend Sonic 06 with your logic? ET for the Atari? All the glitchy, buggy, half-baked, shovel-ware games that are rushed to shelves before they're properly finished?
I mean, games are hard to make after all. You can't hold the developers responsible for the quality of their game, _it's not like it's their "job" or anything._
I've never made a game, but when you've played dozens of games, watched people play dozens of games, and learn pay attention to the details -- you learn how to define the good from the bad. I've also watched channels like A+Start, Shesez, Extra Credits, and several gamer essays. They all explain similar AND different aspects of game design.
And besides, just compare this game's aspects to it's predecessors. That's fair enough, isn't it? Then try and defend it to anyone.
Thats mainly because Bioware didnt even had the same crew working on the original Trilogy they chose a completely unexperienced crew from a small branch of Bioware to do this

To be pedantic, they didn't travel at an average 3943 times faster than light, I have no idea where you got that from. Distance to andromeda is
2.537 million light years
2.537x10^6 x 3x10^8 x365.2425x24x60x60 (convert into metres)
Which is 2.4018x10^20 m
It took them 634 years
634x365.2425x24x60x60
Which is 2.0007x10^10 seconds
Speed is distance over time
This gives an average velocity of 1.2x10^10m/s which is only 40x the speed of light.
If they travelled 3,943 times faster they would've travelled an extra magnitude of 100m (x100m not +100m) past andromeda
Yes I can be fun at parties sometimes
Arvin Gasco
Well fair nitpicking i‘d say
i think you messed up your calculation somewhere. you know a light year is the distance light travels in a year right so it takes light 2.537 million years to get from earth to andromeda and they made it there in 634 years so theres no way they are only going 40x faster than light. if they were going at 40 times the speed of light they would have only went 25,360 light years in 634 years

22:57 to be fair, the Archon didn't inject Ryder with anything, he pulled out a blood sample. Archon was messing with SAM Node in the Nexus which messed with the connection that Ryder had.
Wow Mass Effect does have the plot of KOTOR, but without the religious stuff and laser swords. Also I just remembered that the player in KOTOR is a padawan, and so is Bastila. So the Jedi counsel were sending 2 inexperienced padawans to save the galaxy
KOTOR has better animations than this.
Conor M. And characters...and worlds...and dialogue...and missions
Then go and play KOTOR xD

Do play it. The stuff that you mention is what made the game great for me.
Some of the SINS could of been explained using theoretical science. But I can't stop laughing. You pointed out a lot of relevant flaws with the story and scenes that needed to be fixed. But when you're forced to put something together in 18 months after WASTING 3 1/2 years coming up with system that never worked. This is what you get. They really squandered and fucked Mass Effect up. BioWare only has itself to blame for this disaster.
They did... what??

@@ArcaneSorceror EA would say that, EA always fucks up any game they are involved with by rushing it, by saying they would have been fine with delaying the game they can take nor responsibility for it. ME3 ending that people love to hate so much is a perfect example, it was weak cause EA rushed it so they had to cut down the ending from what they wanted.
@@mystic0maggot401 Incorrect on the last point. ME3's ending sucked because Casey Hudson is yet another egomaniac of a writer who locked the other writers out of the writing room and threw out the original plot written by Drew Karpyshyn, aka the writer for most of Bioware's actually good games. He then threw a literal tantrum in public and on the Bioware forums over the reception to ME3's ending.
EA is videogame satan, but Bioware is a hollow shell. The staff that made the games people loved are all gone now, and the new people obviously didn't bother to learn from them.
the Alien at 12:20 saying "Kill Me" was far too funny.
He knew this game suck ass real bad.

And I said how they're going to an entirely new galaxy, where will they get the resources to build another half of a Citadel like station? The arks are tiny in comparison! They never gave me an answer, and neither did this game!
a fire world, a water world and an ice world
confirmed, Mass Effect is now a Mario Game
Can we also have a sin for the Krogan not sounding like a Krogan at all? More like a posh British private school student.
Achievement : No Man's Effect Andromeda
No man's Effect Andromeda 76.
I agree with the "why is the same species of animal found on different planets" question, but haveing watched the whole game as an LP i know now that it actually underlines a certain plotpoint of the game without outright mentioning it.
The developers definitely favored certain romance options. Male Ryder and Cora as well as female Ryder and Jaal had full nudity but Vetra gears a fade to black! Also when the hell are we getting a Krogan romance?!
Sara & Suvi don’t get much either, and the thing about Sara is you can customize a better look
The dialogue looks horrible and so does the protagonist. Roses are red
Violets are blue
We came for hope
But got only poo
Even though a ton of sins were missing, I think I enjoyed watching this more than I did actually playing the game. For me the most glaring sin is that they they arrived to Heleus to see planets that were supposedly uninhabitable, yet they had already exiled people from the initiative...who then went and inhabited planets. Makes no fucking sense whatsoever.
Question. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING WITH RYDER FACE? She look more alien than human with that expressions.
the default face for the fem Ryder is creepy af. i used the asian face and moddeled a little bit on both Ryders and they looked WAAYYY better.
Funny enough, the fact that in this plotline humans figure out to activate remnant technology minutes after discovering it..., which is the classic 'white savior trope', shows clearly that it is not a "white" savior trope, but as I commented in a previous video, a main group trope. Whatever the group of identification is will be the savior in the plot.
I'm aware that this was a different team, but there was a time when bioware completely blew my mind with their dragon age lore. It's so inspired and suprisingly rich. I just can't believe they can sink this low in terms of writing
I'm probably very late on the train to say it, but there's a notable difference in your voice between the earlier sin videos and latest videos which I'm honestly enjoying. It's like they're slowly evolving, transitioning to a lower, more deadpan tone, and it just feels really cool.
I am glad the devs did adjust the facial animations a bit and made the eyes not look like they were made of clay, though they're still super jankey.
Mass Effect Andromeda. The first Bioware game I completed once and have no intention of replaying again, ever (aside from MP which is fun with friends but even that is getting to be a grind already, ME3 MP was far more fun IMO) . Even ME3, DA2 and DA:I, with their flaws, I completed 3 times each. Multiple BW games I replayed a ridiculous number of times. Jade Empire about a half dozen times. KOTOR and DA:O at least the same. ME2 I played about a dozen times and I played ME1 over a dozen times.
8:30 my God I screamed because of laughter, when you joke about botox swarm, good job!
Extra sin: How unprofessional everyone is. It makes me want to commit patricide...oh never mind.

12:01 Oh come on... *Even Oblivion was fantastic compared to this shithive.*
This got me laughing quite a bit. Thanks for making my night a little better. I do wish there were a few post-finale skits and jokes like at the end of Cinema-Sins! Keep up the good work regardless!
10:19
That's the expression of someone who crapped herself. But since Ryder is a strong independent woman, she can suck it up.
Then she sucks it back up.
I actually think it made perfect sense to go colonize the Andromeda galaxy because it is the galaxy closest to the Milky way and also the drive cores in the ark are far more advanced than what was used in say any of the ships we saw in the other mass Effect games which hints that your information might be just as antiquated plus as you progress through the game you learn that the reason you went to colonize Andromeda was because of the Reaper Invasion the entire mission took off while Shepard was dealing with the collectors as a contingency plan so that if on the off chance Shepard failed all of the races would not die at the hands of the reapers. plus for anyone who read the books that came before this game came out you would learn that one of the jobs of the pathfinder was that in the event of Shepard succeeding in beating the Reapers the Pathfinder would have to find a way to reconnect with the Milky way and build a way for more people to come to the Andromeda galaxy and for people who wanted to visit the place they all came from easier than what the Arks had to endure.
I like the Kett, they're like discount collectors.
5 years old and you can find more sins than listed every time you watch it.😃
sin 30 - actually, it is also toxic, and is a serious issue even when the P.C. puts a small crack in their visor. trying to switch the helmet back and forth would likely end up getting both killed, and even with the helmet, the few breaths taken still knocked the player character unconscious.
36 - i will hold that the original trilogy was not someone with inadequate training. if my understanding of the universe was valid, being an N7 is being among the best of the elite. and being tapped as a spectre on top of that shows even among elites, shep was a cut above. i am surprised you didn't mention dragon age origins though.
57, ok yea that bugged me a bit until they patched it, but i wish the cross-system travel was skippable. dunno about anyone else, i actually had one human with my through the entirety of the game - cora. 64 i agree - MAYBE once or twice. 3 times a planet, occasionally allowing one to slip through? i came up with a way to blow through them without the bypasses, but it still doesn't make me dislike it any less.
70, i didn't know that scene existed, but Kallo's reaction was funny as hell.
76, this is a slight stretch, but it is possible there were scans of Ryder jr. in the area available, and they linked the two. a stretch, but still possible, assuming comperable tech. that, or he also went to eos and found a scan of the player character.
79 i blame SAM, though it doesn't explain how non-pathfinder crews would understand them, unless a VI is embedded in everyone's physiology or the omni-tool can do that. which i seriously doubt.
128 the game mentions early that SAM basically rewired parts of ryders mind. though that should probably not transcend the gap between biology and technology, i pretty much said "fk it"
131 i will straight up call out "the scourge has never once moved to follow a ship" - clearly didn't pay attention at the start of the game, where the scourge is clearly moving to intercept the Hyperion. it also moves when the tempest semi-crashlands onto aya. some i agree with to this point, others i see where you come from, this one, no.
138 i will give you though, i was disappointed there wasn't some sort of saren-style boss battle(though dear god if they did that DO NOT MODEL IT AFTER THAT FIGHT! bouncy bastard...). maybe the devs thought the brawl to get there was good enough, and that was a neat fight with the conduit, but i still wanted to end Archon Gears of War style.
overall i thought the game was decent, though i usually look more at the gameplay over the animations etc. my major issue with it is actually not inherent to the game - my hard drive is damaged, and when the game taxes it a little too much, and this is fairly often, my framerate will DROP. sometimes in sets of 20-30 seconds looking at the same frame. from a gameplay side, i really liked the research aspect, they really wove the science scanner into the game, though because of how i build, i have milky way points coming out of my everywhere, and even more helius points. the only thing im short at all on is remnant points, and thats because i decided at level 30 or so i wanted to follow a different weapon to allow my weapon mods to come through. because i cant carry 2 of the same level of sniper barrel. though i would guess if the shotgun i went after wasn't one of the ones you can just always craft, i might be a little more strapped for R.P.
What should have been a sin in my mind - you cannot carry more than one of any gun mod, even if you attempt to buy them from a vendor. i modded out my black widow with a Barrel V at level 30, and tried to do the same to my Inferno sniper. i could not use the barrel V i had just bought on kadara.
The entire point of a Dyson sphere is that you put one around a star, to allow the collection/use of 100% if its emitted energy.
8:43 - *King Stannis would be proud.*
Regarding 36: Alec Ryder (your in-game dad) pushed the initiative to set off with an unfinished Nexus because he knew the Reapers were coming. You gain this knowledge as a part of the family secrets-quest.
The voice acting seems SO cheap budget in this game..
Like seriously?
Check the Persona 5's voice acting, it's like diamond vs shit...
Also Alec couldn't have just kept sharing his helmet with his child all while waiting for the shuttle to arrive for several reasons first off humans can't plausibly hold their breath longer than 1 minute and 30 seconds without possibly passing out I should know because I have tried it while swimming I was only able to hold my breath for about thirty seconds before I had to surface and breathe
Actually Navy seals are trained to hold their breath for 4 minutes underwater. You can train your lungs to do so. The record for longest breath held is 22 minutes.
"aCTuaLLy"
I cant stop laughing to Ryder´s Derp Face 🤣🤣🤣
I agree with most of the points in the video but just had one correction.
The scourge isn't precisely what damaged the golden worlds - it's attracted to remnant tech, which just happens to be what the terraforming vaults on each of those worlds are made of. So when it reached and damaged each vault, the vault itself is what determined what damage occurred on each world (e.g. going crazy with heat, radiation, cold, plant life etc.) This is why the same scourge can have such different effects on each planet. The scourge being attracted to remnant tech also explains Ryder's strategy near the end, of flying remnant ships (which tow the scourge behind them) straight through the Archon's fleet, decimating it without the Initiative needing to have a fleet of their own.
This is my favorite episode of Game Sins, if only for what MEA does to my favorite gaming franchise.
EA, why?
the saying is that you cannot *always* judge a book by it's cover, with the implication being that usually you can.

Male Ryder is actually much better animated
And the voice acting is way better
Nier: Automata please I need to see this
Your use of sarcasm, is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

That´s what you get for not letting the original writers do the plot and for rushing the project.
"Letting the original writers"
The original writers weren't about to be "let" shit. All of them fucked off from Bioware before ME3 was finished, and several have said you couldn't pay them enough to return for any reason, including the guy that wrote ME1 and 2. EA killed that company a decade ago, and it's just been parading the corpse around since.
The text to speech was amazing!

Dyson Sphere is built AROUND a sun in sci-fi typically
This game is comedy in its purest form xD Thanks for the round up, laughed a lot !

Several issues with your critique. Both riders were not only trained by Alec but also joined the military like their father. They would already have training in some areas

10:25 Did...did her arm just clip into Ryder's shoulder?
Yep
Here’s a trick about Sara Ryder, don’t use the default look, make your own. Even if you play the default Scott with default Alec switched on, just customize Sara. Was I the only one who did that?
Cora & Suvi are hot. Peebee is the best looking Asari in Andromeda (still has nothing on Liara & Samara). Seriously any person that puts gameplay above story should love it, you can space boost (vanguard) whilst you cloak (infiltrator).
I like a balance between gameplay and story.
I vote Metal Gear.
That would be fucking hilarious if you did it.
Never have I ever played a game that I skipped through the entire story because how bored of it I was. Even deleted the save data off my cloud and console storage.
NANOMACHINES SON
You forgot the part with the creative director of this game being a racist. It becomes really clear when you read interviews he has done concerning this game.
Oh, yeah, I forgot old Manview Hair and his "white tears" coffee cup.
(ENDING SPOILERS, just a warning if you're watching this and for some reason aren't expecting spoilers and just came to read comments) You can't even affect the ending at all! You can NOT fail the final mission because you didn't do enough loyalty missions and you were a downright asshole to everyone you meet. I have tried it myself, i did one play through on normal and did a good 3/4 of the loyalty missions and got the same exact ending as when i did no loyalty missions at all aside from one. I didn't help Sloane, i didn't colonise any other planets aside from Eos and basically ran through the game and none of the characters died and all of the same people came to aid in the end. Even if you say kill Sloane and keep Reyes alive i imagine it would also be the same as if she were alive just with different voice lines. It's like very very slight differences in endings with a new paint job. Another example is Vetra and her little sister who upon not doing any of their quests at all had the EXACT word for word ending as the previous time when i completed their missions. Wtf? This is not an RPG Bioware, this is you pretending to be playing an RPG when you're really being hand held all the way through. They stripped away what made Mass Effect so interesting in the first place and turned it into another Dragon Age inquisition. Come on Bioware, wtf is this?
A RPG is not defined by multiple endings and I bet that when you played the trilogy you tried to get the best possible ending, what makes the whole thing with the consequences redundant. So it's not a valid argument against it.
None of your dialogue choices really mean anything, whichever option you choose doesn't matter. You end you end up saying the same exact thing in a different way not to mention sometimes you don't even know what you're going to say at all. None of the choices you do make mean shit either outside of a few small dialogue options and such that might be closed off. Your choices will always result in you winning and no matter how you choose to go about it you win in essentially the same bloody way. For example in (SPOILERS AHEAD) Peebee's loyalty mission you can choose to kill the antagonist of the loyalty mission quest line and save this artefact or you can save her. Whichever option you choose it doesn't affect your romance options or even the way the mission ends. For some reason when you help her she takes you to her ship being flown by her minions presumably and then if you kill her you do the exact same thing for some reason allowing you to escape... Makes no sense and is just lazy af. Another example is the choice between making your outposts military and scientific and i tried both and both options look the EXACT same way. Not to mention there is another quest later that entails you stopping some Anagram rebels from attacking your outpost on EOS and it doesn't matter what type of outpost you have the quest goes the exact same way. No choice you make really does anything even the more major ones
sean rogers Wow, I hear that this game is boring AF, but you made yourself go through it twice?Da real MVP...
Now, I personally LOVED Inquisition.The ending was meh, but the characters were likable and voiced pretty good.Now with this one other here...
The J. Jameson reference killed me.... lmao!
Your sin count is 100% on the spot!
I'm pretty sure you know where the light is coming from in a "Normal" Dyson's sphere.. but Meridian is way too small for that.

I'd argue he's wrong about mass effect as well shepherd is a war hero of N7 rank at the start of the game, up for Specter status. I'd say he's qualified for his role in the games.
Max Miller So...Jason Bourne was actually a novice rather than a rogue experimental secret agent that was trained to be the ultimate killing machine? Because of his amnesia? Is that...the kind of logic you're going with here?
Not even going to start that argument. Bourne wouldn't be a level 1 character in RPG terms, while Revan does start out as level 1.
Correct me if I'm wrong(spoiler: I'm not), but you've started with character without any particular skills. So yes, your character was inexperienced.
"Our long range scans told us it was in the green zone" and later "a lot can happen in 600 years" were the lines that instantly caught my attention when I first heard them. I didn't hear about any scanners in ME universe that would somehow use mass effect fields to know how something looks right now no matter the distance.
I'm pretty bad when it comes to spotting the flaws in the story so this must be a major flaw since I immediately noticed it.
The entire game is wrong
