General / Off-Topic Mass Effect: Andromeda

[Old Duck]

The reviews on ME:A are mixed, so I'm interested in what the ED crowd thinks about it. It's on sale today for $20, which is my current "budget", so I'm thinking of grabbing it, but for the same price I could get Injustice 2 or Witcher 3 instead. Where I just picked up HZD, I'm looking for something a bit different, thus ME:A is the one catching my eye.

FYI - I've played both ME2 and ME3 and enjoyed them both.

Witcher 3 would be my recommendation but ME Andromeda was enjoyable

I'm checking out some review videos online, and I'm slowly pivoting to your recommendation. Decisions, decisions! Speaking of, Final Fantasy XV, Rise Of The Tomb Raider, and Dishonored 2 are also available for $20.... I might have to play "spin the bottle" to pick!

There can be only one...

I've played most of those and my recommendation stands.

Witcher 3 is flooded with free DLC and both the paid DLC is basically a expansion. ME:A has no single player DLC and the glorious "Bioware" is officially EA's puppet. The bioware we all knew and loved no longer exists.

I've gotten that sense reading the news and reviews. I ended up passing on ME:A because of this. Too bad, as I liked 2 and 3, though part of what made 3 special was continuing the relationships built in 2.

I ended up grabbing Injustice 2, mainly because I've already got a number of titles that are similar to Witcher 3, and I'm bit of a superhero nerd

Andromeda has such an awful launch with some absolute shocking animation glitches. I think this is the reason for all of the mixed reviews.
I enjoyed playing it, and it has some amazing terrain graphics, and I think all of the animation glitches are fixed now.

But it isn’t as good as the original Mass effect games.
