Really enjoying the combination of a hard reset, with the experience Bioware has of already creating 3 games in the same universe. In my opinion gameplay only got better and better, plus they got the opportunity to experiment with ME3 multiplayer to see what does/doesn't work. Plus what Swift said about removing class restrictions.

I see solid gameplay as a certainty (as certain as you can be) with story the only possible source of a let down. Given that this is Bioware with a 3 part plan, again with experience of what did/didn't work with the story last time, high hopes indeed.

Loving the look of this, going to be sticking with my biotics!

So apparently the male Ryder's first name is Scott, I hope some of the characters use the player's first name for maximum immersion since my name is also Scott.

They'll refer to him as "Bleeker" for maximum squared immersion.

Also this will probably be a game I buy just due to needing a single player game to give me something to do while I do not have live.

It's been mentioned that they will use the first name if we don't change it.

Maximum hype levels achieved.

Minius GC posted an extensive breakdown on the gameplay trailer. There are potential spoilers based on careful fan observation in here. So if you don't want to have anything spoiled, you should probably stop watching Mass Effect: Andromeda coverage at this point like Oboe.

I'll probably keep watching just to see more of the game and to understand more about the changes they are making, if anything gets spoilt that's a risk I'm willing to take.

New Combat Video:


New Voice Actor Video with Natalie Dormer

[begins reading "how to romance your physician"]

also I REALLY like the new skills / classes system

Interview with Natalie Dormer about voice acting for Andromeda. She apparently did not know how big Mass Effect was when she took on the role.



We also got an Andromeda Initiative video about weapons.

Some spoilers. This is gameplay from a loyalty mission for one of your squadmates.

Here's the next gameplay feature, focusing on Exploration:



IGN also posted the first 13 minutes of the game. Looks like there are some story cuts here.

Really wanna watch but I'm doing my best to avoid spoilers so I guess I'll have to pass

Because these are official pieces by IGN, the majority of the spoilers in the traditional sense are cut out. You don't really find out the full context of any conflicts that are going on in the clips, nor do you get any resolutions. Though if you're trying to get the 100% raw experience, I'd definitely avoid them.

Planning on running a Vanguard type shotgun character with Charge/Tactical Cloak my first run through. In-n-Out baby!
