This briefing brings couple of interesting points: 1. SAM was developed by Ellen Ryder, it is an AI. AI is illegal in council space. Cerberus ties? Blackops research? Terminus Systems? If you remember from ME3, Javik told how similar AI's took over their hosts bodies and rebelled (Zha and Zha'til), so I wonder... 2. Cora is the second in command and the designated successor for being the pathfinder in case something happens to papa Ryder. Why is one of the twins becomes the pathfinder? 3. Cora's last name is Harper. Like Jack Harper aka Illusive Man. Also it has to be mantioned that the IM's girlfriend and later the bot EDI took over both named Eva Core. Coinedence? Besides, Why in the actual fuck Cora has the Miley Cyrus haircut? | ||

I'm fairly sure there's more than that to it, but I can't grasp it from the trailer. You can surely speculate with the name refrences and all that, but that's pretty vague to be the 'meat' of the trailer. | ||

Yeah. I much prefer the more subtle approach in general, but I'm a bit puzzled on where they were going with this particular one. | ||

Hopefully most of them end up dying fast due to story reasons and get replaced by interesting alien crew. | ||

That's no excuse for writing plain dull stuff though. For example half of the Kaidan's comments in early ME 1 are something like "Whoa! Big place!" or "Nice and quiet here! I like it!". Never taken him around much in later game, so I'm not sure if there's something more insightful later on. | ||

As for the new companions in ME:A they really do look bland. Even the new enemy just looks like collectors v.2 in terms of aesthetics. Bioware has a really big opportunity to shake up things in the ME universe. The only really interesting aliens have been elcor, volus and the flying spaghettis--but you never really explored their cultures directly(codex and random dialogues are whatever). It would be disappointing to find just more humanoid aliens in an entirely new galaxy. (unless they have boobs, this is ME after all) | ||

I also share the sentiment that ME:A has a lot of potential, but if it turns out that it's another 'Chosen One vs the Big Bad Evil' type of story It'll be disappointing(what we've been shown so far definitely resembles that type of a plot). New galaxy, actual aliens(not just reskinned humans) and the exploration of all the themes that come with colonization of new planets could be interesting, but then again I doubt Bioware would delve into that. | ||

There should be a 15 minutes gameplay video coming this month, so it will give some indication of what the game actually looks like. | ||

Just chill out and wait till you get a bunch of complete playerfeedback. Then decide if you want it know or wait for the DLCs to show the true game quality. | ||

Compared to ME2 and 3 the marketing, trailers etc. is very limited, and mostly shows us the "manifest destiny" of the Andromeda Initiative. This makes me curious about the actual plot direction, and also indicates that the devs want this game to be seen as separate from the original trilogy - Andromeda gives off an entirely different feel than previous games (based on the trailers), at least for me. And it isn't a bad thing at all. | ||

Otherwise they have to hope that people haven't had enough of Mass Effect with the trilogy being finished. | ||

Despite the lack of promotional material many sites rank ME:A as one of the top if not the top anticipated game of the 2017. Bioware are a bit gambling here by staying that quiet and hoping the name would carry the sales, but after the ME3 ending fiasco and the lukewarm player reception of Inquisition, I can understand them. I don't agree, but I understand. | ||
