Mass Effect: Andromeda

[Thirdgen89GTA]

There is a conversation you can hear in either mass effect 2 or 3 where you listen to a Turian, Salarian, and human discuss Asari and they all say Asari look like their own species. Aka the salarian says Asari look like Salarians. Etc....

I thought it was great.
I really never experienced any major issues.

I don't think it was a huge fail. There are a few things I don't like about it.
I'd like to see the power wheel come back from previous ME games so I would have a wider variety of powers. You are limited to 3 powers without switching to a different profile, which is slow and frustrating.

The face animation isn't great, but you kind of get used to it, and its gotten better over the updates.

The most annoying has been the bugs that pop up and interfere with completing missions/side quests.

Overall, the game is fun. The quality of voice acting isn't up to the cast from the ME123 games, but most aren't horrible.

Ryder's are pretty good. And the squad mates are okay. But the supporting cast is hit or miss.

Its not as good as the squad mates from ME. Brandon Keener who voiced Garrus from the original trilogy was practically perfect from the get go. Tali, voiced by Liz Sroka, again also top notch. And Jennifer Hale as FemShep is probably the best female voice actress out there. But the OT is filled with great voice actors.

ME:A had a smaller budget, and they choose less known VA's to reduce cost. Sometimes this hurts, especially in a game where there is so much dialogue.

In 2012, as work on Mass Effect 3 came to a close, a small group of top BioWare employees huddled to talk about the next entry in their epic sci-fi franchise. Their goal, they decided, was to make a game about exploration—one that would dig into the untapped potential of the first three games. Instead of visiting just a few planets, they said, what if you could explore hundreds?

Just an FYI, its a decent bit of text to read, its not a short article, its got some work put in it.

Double nice.
