Does it have some kind of decent narrative and ending or is it purely grindathon?

Has a very good narrative, hidden in all the gameplay, which is great.

The story is pretty good too, and so is the worldbuilding, but we are barely seeing the start of it. Character creation for example, actually unlocks like 30 hours into the game, and it ties to the story. the titular warframes are a very big part of it, but we barely know anything about them other than them being war machines. You are a Tenno, but no one knows what a Tenno is.

Theres a big and powerful civilization, but no one knows what happened to it. Theres a war currently being waged between 2 factions, and you do get to pick a side.

There are a lot of cool pieces but very little to tie them together, but as you progress through the story you get to see those threads and how it all fits together.

Best part is that every new thread in the narrative ties into the gameplay, almost every single element touches upon it.

Do you like to play legos as well? Lego Ryder sure does.

I don't think I can unsee that. It's like someone's bred frog-human hybrids.

Finally gave it a spin. Played the intro, until you land on that planet.

Runs surprisingly well on ultra, had a pretty much steady 60 fps, with occasional drops to 55-56. Somehow, its not that terrible, but its terribly dull and uninspiring. Really would've liked to keep the game, and play it someday if for nothing else, then to hate it knowingly, but 50 gb is way too much for a space starved fucker like me.

Of course this is the most important part.

For a poor third-world country fag who barely afforded a new gig a year ago, yes, this is TEH most important thing.

Mass Effect: Andromeda DLC goes direct-to-novel: http://blog.bioware.com/2017/10/25/mass-effect-anihilation/

Announcing Mass Effect: Annihilation

Discover the danger aboard the quarian ark in Mass Effect: Annihilation, an upcoming novel from Hugo Award-winning author Catherynne M. Valente.

This official tie-in novel chronicles the journey of the Keelah Si’yah as it carries 20,000 drell, elcor, batarian, and quarian colonists to Andromeda.

A pathogen is discovered aboard the ark after many drell are found dead in their cryo pods. As the pathogenjumps species, the ship’s systems begin to fail, making it clear this is no accident.

Annihilation arrives in US, Canadian, and UK stores on June 26, 2018 (August 28, 2018 in Australia).

Lol, the one story plot that could've been mildly interesting, they make it into a stupid book.

Catherynne M. Valente

That's kinda interesting. I've never actually read anything from her, but I've only heard good things. I thought these things were usually written by talentless hacks.

 

[Infinitron]

Well, a story with no human or human-like characters would actually take skill to write (if you want it to be good...)

So, she received a Hugo Award for some sci-fi podcast along with 4 other people, and that counts as acclaim and qualification towards writing a novel.

She was also nominated for "Best Novel", not that it takes much IIRC.

Why can't Bioware just make a porn game? Hire bunch of sfm animators, add some hot coffee minigames mixed with party/character/base management and then write all the cringy animu tranny romance stories.

And BAM Porn Age: Mass Orgies becomes a codex goty.

 

[Nutria]

I think they seriously could have been more successful doing that. They just have to decide what kind of a game they want to make. Is it going to be about combat or open world bullshit or a dating simulator? Just pick one genre and focus their efforts on that instead of trying to be everything to everyone. Personally I wouldn't buy an alien-fucking simulator, but a few million people would and it would be a lot cheaper to make.

Too hard to compete with Japan. They've been on this busines for decades.

They can't make attractive characters even if their life depends on it.

What if a whole bunch of people have a fetish for ME:A style models?

Its not that they cant do it, they wont. Its a feature for target audience to identify better- ugly&fat 17yo girls, housewives and non whites.
You could make a good looking character in the engine way back since origins but not without mods and since then they did everything they can to prevent such heresy.

Also ME porn (not porn game) already exists and has far superior animations than BioWare is capable of producing for a game.

Not everyone has to look like a supermodel.

They can't even make walking animations properly. I don't think I have the guts to watch a porn game from Bioware.
