Thanks guys! I was just curious as to why there wasn't one yet cause I remember previous games having review threads up to a day before.

I need to be in Andromeda Meow.
I love the vibe in here currently, hopefully but grounded - feels like home.
Yup I can get behind this. The game felt so damn good after the initial sequences. Even those were cool, a nice change from the last 3 games.

A number of planets are really vibrant, so HDR looks fantastic.
Solid 30fps other than the occasional hitch while driving the Nomad.

Great to hear. And I've totally enjoyed the first trial stuff.
Got the day cleared and will be there at 8am for the VPN unlock. Hyped.

It makes no sense for me to buy this on launch with a Switch and Zelda coming Wednesday right? I should really wait awhile and maybe even potentially get it on sale. Right?
There was a pic of him with browner hair and a not really bad looking beard that was great. Too bad you can't customize them for some dumb reason. Like you'd have to recreate him to be able to customize.

Yeah, I made a reasonably good looking white FemRyder during the trial period. Forgot to screenshot it though and my 10 hours is up oops!

Also one tip on eye color for the Character Creator...
Choose a darker color (same/similar hue) for the outer eye color and a lighter one for the inner eye color. It creates a bit more illusion of depth, rather than just looking like Ryder's irises are painted on.

That's super phoned in though. It's not Mass Effect, not to me. It's simply standard film fare. Giacchino is the standard for carrying on a series musical identity while keeping it original. His work on Rogue One was amazing. Trevor Morris in Dragon Age still threw call backs to Zur, making it a natural evolution. As it stands Paesano did the job, just not a good one.
Paesano's biggest credit is Maze Runner. I don't particularly like him having recently looked him up. I can't imagine listening to Maze Runner and saying hey I want Mass Effect to sound like that. Wall said in an AMA he wasn't doing it but not why, as far as I know Hulick has said nothing. If there is an Andromeda sequel they'd best get my boy Sam Hulick back.

Just do it man! Very different types of games. I'm playing both, just alternating depending what mood I'm in

I tried playing the trial, and while I didn't find the animations as obnoxious as we've seen in the gif thread, I still just couldn't stand playing this game anymore. I made a female ryder who I thought looked pretty good to be honest, and didn't animate half bad, but it wasn't enough to save this game for me.
I tried, and tried to give it a shot, but the writing felt like a 12 year old did it, and after the train wreck that was Mass Effect 3, they needed to try a lot harder than this.
Going back to ME1, that game felt like pure science fiction compared to the simple minded crap they throw at you in the early parts of this game. It's like they want me to not use my brain, and that's just something I'm not good at. Mass Effect 1 and 2 drew me in with their intrigue. They had action, especially 2, but I feel like those games get going in a much more exciting way, with interesting dialogue. This...looked pretty sometimes, especially with my graphics card, but nope, but there is no substance there.

What happened to ME:A Culpa?
The choice is lacking IMO. No one that is as hot as Kaidan.
lmfao. Is it too late to change it?
There's been weirdness with preloading with patch 4.5. Usually searching for the game in the library and going into it from there will give you the option to start the download.

I much prefer the current OT title: "Through my fault" or "I apologize" in latin doesn't feel right to me, personally (especially with the circus that's been going down lately in the media/extranet).

I'm in this exact same situation. Waiting on reviews to decide what I do, but unless something unexpected happens I'm just going to play both at the start and keep playing the one which grabs me the most, then come back to the other when I'm 1) fatigued or 2) done.
Yeah. The list of bangable males is far shorter than the list of bangable females in this game. (And when you narrow it down to individual orientations, both straight women and gay men get the least romance/fling options according to what we know ATM. Two less than straight men.)
I am sooooo pumped to play a good sci-fi RPG and I loved the first two Mass Effect so much I must've completed them over 4 times each. ME3 was such a letdown to me so I need Andromeda to be good.....
Please be good. If the (user) reviews are favorable I might just order a PS4 just for this game.

Kaidan was so hot. I banged him every playthrough. Haven't looked at the options in ME:A yet but that's disappointing to hear

I think you have a few extra controls if you go keyboard
past that it's down to preference

Is this unlocking to play via VPN in an hour, or is it just the embargo dropping?
I've heard from KB+M players that the Nomad is really difficult to control that way whereas I've had no problems controlling it using a conroller so I guess I'd recommend using a controller based on that.

I think I need some Asian Female Ryder sliders. I've tried but I'm just not getting it right.

Honestly ignore MEA completely and immerse in Hyrule first. By the time you're done, MEA will have more patches in.

Here's mine if you're interested:
Preset 1
Brow: 3, 20
Cheek: 16, 7, 6
Chin: 12, 5, 2, 5
Eye: 7, 4, 14
Lip: 6
Mouth: 11, 4, 7
Nose: 9, 7, 5, 17
There are more sliders in this thread.
Also: Nier, Nioh, Persona 5, Horizon... lots of big games to keep you occupied while ME:A gets some refinement.
Ryder Sliding should be a sport. Can you make the most awesome Ryder from one of these preests?!
That second one is a very interesting interpretation of "straight"
