I'm glad the shills are out in full force, keep reminding me to watch that new trailer.

I like Mass Effect, even after all the bad design decisions, I want to give Andromeda a chance just because it can give me that small bit of satisfaction the first ME gave me. But this game has had next to nothing shown. I'm reminded of before DAI released, the devs were talking about how they were planning on making it an MMO up until the very end or some shit. I can't hope for a well written story, but as long as I can explore Uncharted Worlds, I'll be happy.

I thought ME3 was good and was hyped for Andromeda, but the fact that they haven't shown ANYTHING yet has made me seriously reconsider.

I mean, they're still insistent on Q1 2017 release window, right? That means they won't even have another E3 to show off anything, wtf?

>>341429710
You felt like a big galactic babysitter. No race in the entire fucking galaxy could solve any of their problems by themselves without Shepard completing some arbitrary task for them. It made sense to babysit your squadmates in ME2. It did NOT make sense to babysit entire planets in ME3. The game made the entire galaxy look utterly retarded and inept and virtually every situation presented to the player felt contrived.

Everything you did felt completely disconnected and irrelevant. You were hopping from problem to problem, but it didn't feel like you were playing a coherent story or had a clear goal in mind. Everything felt like you were just killing time until the scientists finished their deus ex machina switch (which shouldn't have existed because the writers promised there'd be no DEM solution to the reapers).

Reapers arriving in the galaxy as quickly as they did was retarded, and kinda defeats the purpose of the Arrival DLC in ME2.

Reapers being so easily destroyable after what it took to bring down Sovereign was retarded.

Everything to do with Cerberus was fucking awful.

None of your choices mattered or played out in any substantial way in ME3.

All those squadmates you spent time getting to know, doing loyalty missions for, and keeping alive during the suicide mission in ME2 were relegated to background characters.

Javik and EDI were terrible squadmate ideas.

The ending ruined Reapers forever and was completely nonsensical, but it's far from the only bad part of the game. ME3 was a fucking mess in all aspects.
>>
I'm not. My only experience with Mass Effect is playing two or three hours of it and then my disc getting an error and refusing to play any further. Never going to play a mass effect game unless I get them for free somehow.

0 Hype. Never going to play. They didn't even show anything so you shouldn't be hyped regardless.

ME is like AC. People were hyped for the first 3 then it was meh. Big companies have to have some seflcontrol, its better to make 2 or 3 good games and stop to save IP value and then reboot it after 8-10 years than this. AC as IP have no value now, if they launch literally perfect game tomorrow it will sell worse than the last piece of shit.

There was a way for ME2 to do thermal clips correctly and not shit on the lore, but instead they chose to do generic ammo.

2 was a transition from rpg to straight shooter, so it kept more of the rpg elements ad had less of the shooter elements, and wasnt fully either. 3 was pure shooter with barely even token rpg elements.

No debate that 1 had the worst gameplay though

That depends on what you like
I like being an OP mage in RPGs so a fully biotic party was right up my alley
Only bad thing was how quickly you became unstoppable, the game could've gone for biotics not being completely broken at early levels
>>
>>341429710

Shitty textures all over the place, and no effort put into what was supposedly impressive backdrops. Hell, on Earth in the intro, theoretically where they had all the time in the world, the Reapers beams do fuck all to the scenery, and look at the crowd running away - they are all the same flat 2d sprite, that could have been done better in the 00s.

As was said, the journal was utter shit, and the side quests to go with it, if they can even be called that.

The fact that your decisions, the entire marketing of the entire series, having weight was bullshit on Telltale levels.

Romances were also fucked, especially the ME2 ones, who barely get cameos prior to the Citadel DLC (which came far, far too late). Romanced Jack, Miranda, or (you poor bastard) Fishlips? Fuck you, you should have stayed loyal the the asshole Vermire survivor. The only well executed (and I use that term with all the salt in the world) was Liara, and it's clear that's because she was always intended to be the main romance. And hell, even her you have to re-kick off the romance, even if you did Shadow Broker.

At least the Extended Cut gave us the ability to tell Starchild to shove his (and Bioware's) 'choices' up his ass. Fuck the Reapers, fuck the writers, and fuck making me love something and then utterly phoning it in on the last part of a multi-million dollar trilogy.
>>
>>341431860
>on harder difficulties all the cool combat stuff is practically unusable thanks to the shitty shield/armor/life mechanic

Well that's just completely untrue, because even on insanity you can strip defenses very quickly and follow up with biotic combos.

Fighting shields? Overload > pull > warp.

Fighting barriers? Concussive shot > pull > warp.

Fighting armor? Incinerate > pull > warp.

Don't wanna bring a defence stripper? Shoot down one target's defence, pull/slam > warp them, and the explosion will AoE defence strip for you anyway.

>hide behind a wall, again and again and again

Neither Vanguards nor Sentinels have to use cover, even on insanity.

My hype died with ME3's ending. I got off the ride at ME2; I couldn't get interested in ME3, and the disappointment of an ending ME3 had turned me off enough to just not bother trying. I have no expectation Andromeda will be any better, so I'm probably just going to watch a playthrough or something when it's out to sate what little curiosity I have left.
>>
So in ME2 Shep died and thanks to their magic technology they brought him back and gave him a few upgrades
Didn't really make sense that you could become full Biotic if you wre a completely non-Biotic soldier previously but I can accept that handwave
Did they have any explanation if you change class in ME3?

they were shill threads and /v/ was getting bombarded by marketers. of course a newfag like yourself wouldn't know how to spot a shill

I prefer the addition of Thermal Clips from a game design standpoint.
Weapon cooldowns and infinite ammo made switching weapons pointless.
Any class can just get pistol+Spectre Series+Marksmen and just hold down the button until everything is dead. Even on insanity I never switched weapons. Just pop marksmen and hold the fire button.
Ammo capacity actually makes me care about the weapons I'm carrying since the Mattock burns through ammo like your mom burns through twinkies.

Actually, that would have worked really well. Especially is Saren was the 'Anderson'/leader, and you could become a good friend or even have a light romance. Would have raised the stakes in ME1, as towards the end and after discovering Indoctrination, he was already a little sympathetic.

Not that guy but in my opinion, ME2 was the only one where biotics weren't as fun as just a straight-up soldier exactly due to the armor stripping you constantly have to do
At least in ME3 you can power combo their defenses away

Not hyped at all. I had my Mass Effect experience. I played through the trilogy and got an unsatisfactory end to my Shepard's story. I don't feel like I need more Mass Effect.

Mass Effect 3 Ending

Never forget
>>
>>341431245
>The game made the entire galaxy look utterly retarded and inept and virtually every situation presented to the player felt contrived.
From the original game you are LITERALLY space-jesus. Don't make it sound like 3 was the first game that did this. I found the "suicide mission" at the end of 2 equally immersion-breaking, but at least in 3 there was some meaning and drama behind the absurdity. 2 is literally a half-assed excuse to be an edgy """"badass""""

>Everything you did felt completely disconnected and irrelevant.
So first you're galactic babysitter and then you're irrelevant? Pick one, buddy. If you're talking about the fact that the Reapers kick your shit in, I'm sorry you couldn't take it when they actually delivered on all those ominous promises made in the first two games

>Reapers arriving in the galaxy as quickly as they did was retarded
Honestly the Arrival DLC itself was retarded. At least it was just DLC canon that was retconned, rather than the entire first game which is basically what ME2 did with it's "durr that epic quest to stop the Reapers accomplished nothing, they're still coming"

>Reapers being so easily destroyable
Different kinds of Reapers. Sovereign was one of their most advanced/strongest, and it gives them more depth if they're not all literal clones. Also this contradicts your other complaint about the Reapers being so overpowered.

>Everything to do with Cerberus was fucking awful.
Agreed, but they should never have been major players in the goddamn first place.

>None of your choices mattered or played out in any substantial way in ME3.
>He fell for the "10293582 endings!" meme

>All those squadmates you spent time getting to know, doing loyalty missions for, and keeping alive during the suicide mission in ME2 were relegated to background characters.
Most of them had pretty significant roles in the story even if you didn't get to use them.
>>
>>341432314
Did you ever have to switch weapons in 2?
The Mattock burns through ammo, sure, but the only reason to even use it is if you're a soldier since then its damage output increases massively, and if you have adrenaline rush active you should be aiming at heads anyway

Good. You opened this message. This isn't actually asari military command. They're busy tending to what's left of their planet.
So you survived our fight on Thessia. You're not as weak as I thought. But never forget that your best wasn't good enough to stop me. Now an entire planet is dying because you lacked the strength to win. The legend of Shepard needs to be re-written. I hope I'm there for the last chapter. It ends with your death.

>>341432408
Right, but if you bring a squadmate with an AoE defence stripper applicable to the mission, you can strip the defences of 3-4 enemies with the press of a button.

And it's not like you're bringing them solely to defence strip either, because those skills work as crowd control if you need them to as well.

If you walk into a room and see four enemies with shields, a quick Garrus overload followed by a Jacob pull will have all those enemies floating in the air with two button presses. It's not like it was particularly inconvenient to do.

I don't agree, except for Miranda.

Tali/Garrus had a lot of content for the waifu/husbandofags.

Thane died, but you knew from ME2 that he had a terminal case of space AIDs so I'm not sure what anyone expected.

Jacob was definitely fucked, so I guess if you were one of the six people who romanced him you'd have a point.
>>
>>341432173
I cant even play ME2/3 on anything less than insanity cause the shield/barrier/armour mechanic actually matters and makes me consider my team.
Lower difficulties are a breeze since you can spam overpowered biotics and not give a fuck cause most enemies are weak to them.
ME3 made this even better with Biotic/Tech combos and Fire/Ice explosions being so fucking useful and fun. ME3 had best combat and that is shown best in the fact it has damn good multiplayer using those same mechanics.

>>341432621
>From the original game you are LITERALLY space-jesus. Don't make it sound like 3 was the first game that did this

There's a difference between being a renown wrecking ball and being the only person in the galaxy capable of doing anything. As I said virtually every mission in ME3 felt contrived. In the original game the events happening around you felt like the natural results of the plot. In ME3 everything felt orchestrated to jerk the player off.

>So first you're galactic babysitter and then you're irrelevant? Pick one, buddy
I'm referring to the fact that the things you're doing don't feel plot-relevant. You know the scientists are working on some stupid kill switch and it makes everything you're doing to fight the reapers until then feel like killing time because you know nothing substantial is going to happen until the magical mcguffin is finished. This has nothing to do with the Reapers leaving planets decimated. I'm not complaining that Shepard didn't salvage every planet he fought for. I'm talking about bad storytelling and plot structure here.

>Honestly the Arrival DLC itself was retarded
I was hoping that Shepard got tricked into destroying the Mass Relay for no reason, but Bioware didn't have the guts to do that plot unfortunately. Regardless, my point is that it seems kinda dumb for the Reapers to have given a shit about that Mass Relay when they can just fly over so quickly anyway.

>Also this contradicts your other complaint about the Reapers being so overpowered.
I never complained about Reapers being overpowered. I wish they had been far more powerful but fewer in numbers, if anything.

>He fell for the "10293582 endings!" meme

I didn't expect multiple endings, but it would have been nice to see a few missions play out differently here and there depending on choices made in previous games. A few missions here and there having sadder or happier outcomes based on prior choices was not too much to ask.

If I'm reading you right, all of the issues you have are pretty much present in all three games. I actually agree with you for the most part, but I don't get why you're singling out 3 in particular. It has the same number of faults, and a lot of the same faults, as 1 and 2 but just a different tone.

Honestly I'm a bit confused now, because most people who dislike 3 are just edgy shitposters who were angry because it leaned in a more "paragon" direction as opposed to 2's "renegade."

Allow me to give you an update on my status regarding Mass Effect.

I'M STILL FUCKING ANGRY

I feel NOTHING even close to hype for this fucking game
The storyline and universe is ruined; the well is poisoned, there is no going back. Every time I feel even the slightest inkling of desire to play Mass Effect again I just remember how fucking terrible Mass Effect 3 was and I spiral into a grief-fueled rage spin and then I go off onto another one of these stupid fucking rants. Am I autistic? Probably; ME3 was so fucking stupid it made me retarded.

How the FUCK do they think they're going to make another Mass Effect game after the fucking joke that was the last game? Unless the MC of this game is being sent back in time to assassinate half of Bioware's staff before ME2's DLC was complete in order to avert the terrible tragedy of ME3 then there is NO FUCKING POINT in making a new game. You would need to retcon the ENTIRE last fucking game to salvage the universe in which ME takes place.

Mass Effect is fucking over, Bioware is just the fucking asshole standing over the grave of the franchise it murdered, furiously jerking off over 'muh FeMC' while justifying itself frantically to all the other funeral attendants.

I am literally more excited for ass cancer than this game. Fuck you for posting this.

Fallout, Deus Ex and witcher didnt have a conver system that barely works and the ai doesnt even use and no fucking depth at all in its RPG mechanics.
Seriously Mass Effect 1 played like total shit. How is it even good? Its not the shooting, cause you just hold the button till the things dies dps race, its not the abilities cause they're simple as fuck and arent even needed to kill anything ever, and its not the equipment system cause its as simple as equip gun with better damage = success cause they all do the same shit.
Even the mods barely matter, all you ever need is the organic damage and synthetic damage ones. Insanity makes the gameplay even worse by added enemies that use immunity, which effectively makes them invincible and only Warp can potentially counteract it.

Well lets see, they have shown no gameplay demos in the two years they've been shilling it out and it comes out in less than a year with it's original release date being this year. They've have shown nothing of substance and every Bioware game since ME2 has shown a measurable exponential drop in quality.

At this point I'd be surprised if one of the intergalactic explorers didn't mention they were a homosexual in every conversation. Because when you are venturing out into a new galaxy what the commander of the mission really cares about is your sexual orientation.

Remember how easy Archangel was to shoot because his model didn't fit properly on the wall? Any cutscene in any Bioware game has at least a million problems.

The good side about your image? The armor and weapon design look good. The armor is out there, I guess similar to the Cerberus Lasher armor. Glad to see gun designs returning. Colors seem a bit flat. No idea what that amorphous blob is next to the character.

Ryder could be improved with CaC. Hopefully we'll be able to edit their defaults, unlike how they handled Sheploo.

If the would just remove the eyebrows the Asari would be fine, honestly. We've already seen ugly ones, and Liara set a high standard. I wouldn't mind one more less than perfect Asari.

Really? That makes it literally impossible to have any relatively ancient race, and means these races are shoehorned into the exact same "stranded" situation as the Milky Way. That is if there are any new species, knowing BioWare it'll probably be "wow what do u know the Asari, Hoomans, and Turians came here wun million bazillion years ago and just woke from cryo after the reapers left makes u think wow so cleaver"
>>
I genuinely like Bioware games so I'm decently hyped. Didn't see any actual gameplay though so its not much hype

Bioware is nothing but die-hard tumblr users, it's no surprise they'd take the Asari and make them ugly.

Think about it, if you were a company putting out a trailer, wouldn't you put shit that's pleasing to the eye in it?

That's the best they have.

What?
And, what if the Reapers were extra-galactic and harvested both galaxies? It's not impossible, they just trade off energy harvested from each galaxy to travel to the next. Since it would be the height of the Milky Way harvest, Andromeda would be free to grow and develop.

I could see them having a plot point involving Andromeda's Sovereign enacting some failsafe since the MW Reapers were destroyed.

They really aren't though. Sure some modelers, lots of artists and one or two writers like to push political agendas. But it's not their end goal. Their job is to sell games.ake profit.

That means that the reapers that harvest Andromeda are exclusive from the ones that harvest Milky way. This also means there will be mass relays. Why take this effort to make a new galaxy if the races are reliant on reaper tech just the same as pre reaper Milky Way? They are passing up a huge opportunity to introduce alternate forms of FTL, and races older than the ones in ME1-3. Just a fucked opportunity, is all.

I was saying if there are Reapers in Andromeda, they are the same ones as in the Milky Way.

>>341439092
And it can be done well. Remember Jade Empire? Remember the lesbian sex orgies? Remember the cool gay dude that wasn't all in your face, because you didn't have to interact with him.

As a straight man, I see no reason to write gay stories. But a gay man, especially in America and Canada where they are "oppressed classes" will want to represent himself and others through his media. But that doesn't make all the Bioware writing staff faglords, or deny them the ability to write good stories. I hate Gaider, but he wrote good, heterosexual stories.

I wish BioWare would've chosen the Synthesis ending. That would have been so much more interesting to pursue.
>>
>>341440195
Synthesis and Control are dead-end endings. Synthesis, especially if handled literally, would have been too much for the Bioware writing staff to convey effectively. I won't lie I'm biased towards Destroy and Indoctrination Theory. I just see no way of continuing any plot in the Milky Way after Refuse, Synthesis, and Control. Hell, even 2 out of the 3 Destroy endings don't leave much. Starting in another Galaxy is a good idea, but if they were to bring back themes from the Milky Way, they better be prepared to handle it well.

>>
>>341440747
Yes, anon, you're absolutely right.

BioWare literally sit in their cushy offices all day, drinking champagne and educating themselves on the feminist manifesto on tumblr. They intricately plan how to screw true fans like you over at every opportunity while they engage in group hormone replacement sessions. Half of them have already castrated themselves, and live communally in a vaguely tribal matriarchal structure. Offspring is shared amongst the tribe, but the """men,""" if you can call them that anymore, are sidelined as servants and breeding stock for the female ruling class. The females themselves exist in a hierarchical structure, with the ugliest, most unpleasant, and most disfigured being the highest ranking. They do all of this, instead of actually producing games, while laughing derisively at all the poor saps they've managed to con out of their hard-earned cash, all while biding their time until the glorious day when they'll have infested the upper echelons of society to the extent that they can abolish currency altogether and replace it with a system whereby wealth redistribution is regulated by how much vicarious social outrage you can generate.

Truly, these are dark days we live in.

ME - Borderline-abysmal gameplay and scenario. Worldbuilding is literally the only thing that saves it. Story is very basic and clearly not plotted out for a proper trilogy.

ME2 - Absolutely shits on continuity in favor of a grrrrimdark edgy take on things. Gameplay is massively improved but it doesn't feel like an RPG anymore

ME3 - Writing alternates between massively improved and terrible, but the overall tone and direction is much closer to the first game. Also, it actually manages to deliver somewhat on the "world-ending destructive force," in contrast to the empty posturing of the first two games. Brings back some RPG elements but is still mostly shootan. Shit on by fans of ME2.

She is the epitome of what is wrong with post-1 Mass Effect.

Just fuck my reasonably hard-scifi, internally coherent space opera up with rule of cool characters that add no value to either story or its themes, and when it tries to do that it fails horribly, making no sense and clashing against previously established stuff and can't stand any closer inspection, shallow and ridiculous additions by writers that fail to understand the tone of the universe that the first game established.

Oh yea, Legion especially was cool, IIRC he was in 2 written entirely by E'toile, who is apparently the guy who wrote most of the codex in ME1. There was an interview or Q&A of him somewhere and he talked about how they liked to talk about all the possible complex issues in galactic-scale civilizations during the development of ME1, like how the government would be arranged, how would communication across planets be done etc.

And he didn't work on ME3, and IIRC had a lesser role in 2.

Things like that are what made ME great, not space waifus and combat.

I'm about as hyped for Andromeda as I'm hyped for fucking Watchdogs 2.

It's just Bioware milking the Mass Effect cash cow only they already fucked up the series so anyone with a bit of sense will hold off until they are sure it isn't classic Bioware dogshit.

How did DA2 not have that effect on you
>>
I fucking despised ME2 and 3 for ruining everything ME1 stood for.
I burnt my anger with ME3 through.

So for whatever its worth, Andromeda looks actually like it could be okay?
It seems to bring back planet exploration and in fact it seems to focus on it. It seems to focus on the wonder of the sci-fi universe, which to me is what ME should be about. I loved the atmosphere of discovery and wonder in ME1, and this seems like it took some lessons from that.

So for whatever its worth EA: I'm mildly interested. Dont do some stupid galaxy threatening evils this time, please. Focus on a more personal story and make them deal with smaller scale stuff. I dont want to see entire planets exploding, that is just dumb.

Since this is a "reboot" of the series I dont even care about RPG elements being absent. Its not a sequel to ME1. Its practically a spinoff. I hopefully wont have to compare it to ME1 the same way 2 and 3 had to.

I hate EA so much. It's like a void of imagination. I know Mass Effect is Science Fiction not Science Fantasy so they have to have some pretenses to reality and physics but come on.

Be that as it may, Synthesis would have provided the most interesting storytelling. As you said though, that would require some hard work and effort that I'm just not sure they could actually pull off.
>>
>>341429863

1 was actually setting up a universe, 2 was just a gaiden that had no bearing on the overall trilogy.

The main story ironically was just a side story.

The worst part is because it's just middling science fiction you won't see a single thing that Andromeda does that couldn't have been done in the Milky Way. The move to Andromeda was just a marketing point.

>>341428305

0/10 I don't give a fuck because 2 and 3 were garbage. Seeing as they have not admitted that or said anything else to indicate the series is going on a different direction I'll just assume this is another shit dating sim/ third person shooter where your choices make no difference.

I've had enough of faux-RPGs

>>341452115

>>341428305
I'm trying to be optimistic, but it's not looking good.

When I first heard of Andromeda I was thinking "Sounds like a nice way to get back to their roots and leave all the mistake of 2 and 3 behind, the future looks bright! Maybe we'll get to meet all kinds of new-"

And then the ugly Asari dyke was revealed, and Shepherds replacement has turned out to be some incompetent chipmunk-faces bitch.

A little bit. I enjoy these games, even if they're not what they might have been, and not what they were promised. People who take marketing blurbs as gospel mystify me; do you believe campaign promises, too?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this. Hopefully they don't mess too much with the formula. A little added depth would be fine. Not likely but we'll see.
>>
>>341452751
Asari needs work for sure. But how could you assume that's Shepard's replacement and not be editable? Plus it's two different studios handling DA and ME

I'm not assuming she's not editable, retard. Of course you'll get to customize her and change genders.

Moderately hyped because of how invested I was in the original trilogy.

But I was watching the trailer and I'm just flabbergasted that after so many fucking years the animation team just hasn't learned a fucking thing. I haven't seen a team so stagnant and unable to improve since Bethesda's animation team. It's just bad. I'll bet the lipsynch will be bad too, and I bet it'll use all the same canned animations from DA:I too.

And I fucking hate myself because I'll still probably end up getting it.

I'm going through Inquisition right now

Too early to say anything about the writing, though nothing jarringly bad so far

Lot of MMO type of quests for whatever reason, apparently they didn't come up with any other way to fill those huge environments with something to do.

One thing I'm impressed with is the engine. I though Frostbite was a meme but it really works here, the game looks great, it's colorful and cartoony in a good way and runs really well. I wish there was a KOTOR being made with this engine, no matter how shit the writing might be, a decent art team would make a phenomenal-looking scifi RPG with this.

I've been a fan of Bioware for a long time, Mass Effect was really the last game I enjoyed, and they kept getting worse, hemorrhaging talent left and right.

Andromeda is the litmus test. Will the new team be able to perform and deliver quality (Bioware level quality at least) products? Will the be able to write stories that are exciting? Create characters that don't alienate 90% of the consumer (not fan) base?

Sure, I'm being optimistic. But this is their last shot. They've got all the opportunity in the world, an established IP with a fresh coat of paint, more funds than they know what to do with, and several years to develop and polish this game. I just want to see what happens.

All I said was ME3's multiplayer was really good. It was really the only great part of an otherwise horribly put together game.

So, what's really known about the game so far? The trailer really didn't talk about it much, beyond being set far away from Shepard's shit.

Can we play as alien races finally?

Is Multiplayer a more 'connected' feature into the story and not limited to wave-style shooter?

I was really hoping for an almost psuedo-Destiny treatment, with open exploring and navigating with a party of friends, if you so choose.

I just don't have enough details on the game to decide if I give a fuck yet.

If it's anything like ME, two or three single player expansion quests that don't add much to the story. Probably new guns and armor. I sincerely doubt they'll do another DLC squad mate.

Look at Citadel DLC, that is literally Bioware in their element. Regardless of whether you like it or not, that's their true nature.

Only, Citadel DLC wasn't remotely as 'progressive' as they are now, I mean even with Javik's one night stand it was more like a joke.

It'll probably be pretty fun to play. There's no way they couldn't have learned their lesson about making dumb, nonsensical, and anticlimactic fate of the galaxy storylines, which is probably why they've said this story is just going to be character focused instead.

If it's got fun gameplay and a lot of comfy exploration it'll be fine. The whole idea of your choices mattering was always stupid and unimplementable anyways.

It's fucking hilarious to see half you fags moaning about Andromeda based on a 2 minute teaser trailer.

>You will never see Tali happy on her planet...
I'm fine with all this, though. I would even have been happy if none of these characters appeared in more than a single franchise installment each.

This Ryder doesn't sound like a Mary Sue, either.

We dont know anything about this character. How the fuck can she be a mary sue if we literally no nothing beyond the person's last name?

It doesn't, just like your choices between ME1-3

Because the character has a mixed race (where was that stated by the way?) that makes them a Mary Sue?

You are still going to get a character creator and you can make them however you want.

But saying that Ryder is already a Mary Sue just shows you are an idiot that doesnt know what the saying "Mary Sue" means.

She has lines in the trailer, and she's been described as a less experieced soldier than Shepard.

Catiously pretty hyped. The teaser looked a lot more like ME and a whole lot less like ME2 & 3. I hold the unpopular opinion that ME was by far the best game in the series and the sequels were shit. Neo-/v/ somehow has a hardon for Mass Retcon 2: Shootan edition.

So yea, if it's going to be focused around exploring, atmosphere and story and less about combat and muh romance, then I'm fucking happy.

I agree she is a Mary Sue. We know that because we saw the movie and saw how perfect she was in it.

>>341471659
And?
>>
>>341471660
Absolutely agree

>>341471582
But Ive been highly critical of the 2nd game and Im convinced the 4th game is going to be terrible. So no Im not the guy you think I am.

Oh sorry I made a typo >>341468807
It should say the rest*

Im not sure if that makes a difference for you. I can see how it would change the meaning of that post
>>
>>341470267

I'm pretty sure literally every protag BioWare ever created is a Sue. Shepard certainly is.

Cautiously optimistic after seeing the new trailer, would've really liked to have seen some actual fucking gameplay this time around though. I still feel like at least some people on the dev team are trying to get the original themes of Mass Effect right for this game. Still though, if this doesn't get a Steam release, which it likely won't, I'm definitely going to pirate it.
