I'll see, then. If EatChildren can get his segments to me by tonight, it'll go up then. Otherwise it's tomorrow morning.
EatChildren
Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I'm in bed and it's 1am, so unless it can wait until I get home from work it's no go.
I've failed you. I've failed Mass Effect. Maybe this is a sign of things to come.
This should work tomorrow right? I'll try it. Worked for steam before.
Yep, there is no reason why this wouldn't work. We will know in 25h :b

I'm going to call my friends at EA and see if they can give us some money to help fund the OT

Nope. Rumours always go around but I've done this for years and have never had any problems - penalisation sometimes/rarely occurs for using VPNs to buy things cheaper on Origin from other countries.

I know that. But still, a big portion of players are getting this on consoles so they'll be left waiting with nothing to do. And something tells me that most of them won't be happy with asking question or sharing their excitement about the game. Not with this particular title.
At any rate, I think we should expect at least a couple of pages of gifs and such. I personally wouldn't mind it as long as people don't try to paint the game as a disaster and simply post them for fun.
The most recent episode of Waypoint Radio was pretty much just a conversation about Mass Effect in general and Andromeda. Probably worth a listen for anyone who visits this thread.
Overdetermination. Me haz learned new word.
They are saying that ME:A lacks ME1's world-building, based on the early access impressions. They feel the story of any given area is to service the main plot point, similar to how everything ties back to Corypheus in DA:I.

Man, I can't even say that I like a scene in MEA without getting called delusional lol
The MP positional audio bug seems really bad. I don't think I'd want to touch the MP until this is fixed, which should be coming in a patch but hopefully not too long after release.
Hearing something directly behind you but nothing is where would drive me crazy with headphones.

New video on Tech abilities by Minius if anyone is interested.

Just get it to me later, then, I'll add it in afterwards.

Yeah I hope that gets fixed really soon.
I preordered this for the Pro but after playing the trial on my PC, it ran better than I though it would and the MP in 60 fps is fantastic. I'm thinking about just buying it on PC too. Am I nuts? Lol.

All the tech abilities (and their evolutions) look amazing and very strong. The amount of builds possible is overwhelming, I don't even know where I'd want to start.
Luckily it does seem like BioWare was already aware of the audio bug and I read somewhere that it is always fixed and will be coming in the next patch. So hopefully that is around 1-2 weeks max after launch which is when I'll likely be diving into the MP more after beating the SP.
And nope that doesn't sound crazy as 60 fps looks great. I'm getting it for the Pro myself -- I don't own a PC and plan to play the MP with a lot of PS4 friends.

What app is that? Is it on Android?
Edit: found it. Apex HQ. Had to sideload the apk lol
(Google play Store says it's not available in the US yet)

Thanks.
Yeah had to change my iOS AppStore from germany to canada to be able to download it

People called Romanes they go the house?
I think this really, really hits one of the underlying quibbles I have, which is that so far, there's such a dearth of 'new' alien races, new concepts, new world-building, etc... Compared to ME1 and it's introduction of 'all the aliens', in the 1st 10 hours, we get....1 new species, and a giant plot point that so far links all the important narrative bits together.
I get that they have to keep familiar species around for series vets and all, but it's still somewhat disappointing so far.
edit: But dangit Austin, It's Virmire, not Noveria!
Oh wow, thanks for posting. These abilities look great!

The trial planet simply has nothing to rival the imagination of something like Feros (the Prothean skyscraper planet). I'm afraid there will be nothing of the sort in MEA, simply because it's an open world game. Makes me wonder though, why not build an open map where a part of it consists of kilometre tall skyscrapers, or something similarly crazy.
But you haven't even seen everything that Eos has to offer? Your access to planet is limited.
The trial ending point is really bad because right after it you enter a large remnant vault which is probably what you're talking about

It really opens up after the trial stopping point.

I searched on my phone and it didn't come up with this. Is the app not available yet?

Only available in a few countries right now but they plan on having it released on all if not most countries by 20th March.

Ah, okay. Must not be available in US yet.

Been watching footage from a bit further on and the game does have the built up cities you're looking for.

Minius GC is fast becoming my numero uno Mass Effect guy: his videos are always so good, especially his ones that delve into lore and logical critisism.
This is the most nervous I've ever been before reviews were out for a game, it's quite a scene man.

I don't care about reviews unless the score is like below 5 which in this industry means my PC will set my house on fire if I play it. I'm not spoiled past the gating point so I'm excited to see what is next.
Yeah I've been stashing the loot boxes from the APEX app too. Do we have a stash in the game to drop stuff?

Man I hope amazon UK sends out the game tomorrow. Otherwise I'll have to wait till Thursday or Friday at worst.
Didn't come across one in trial.
So Cora and Gil are the only exclusive romances for Scott right? If that's the case I might just start with Sara since they don't interest me at all and Suvi's accent is irresistible. It's too bad she looks so generic and has those awful lip flaps. I'm getting Kelly Chambers vibes from her. I almost dumped Tali for her in ME2 and was so upset with how the romance was handled in 3.

Not true! I had no points in anything and I got a sniper.
Quick note, he doesn't mention it but Overload is also a Primer; if you hit enemies with a detonator while they're still suffering from the stun/covered in the electrical effect, they go boom.

You don't need a 6th sense to get a feel of upcoming ME reviews, every reviewer I've read that played the full game is hinting as a great game that expends very well past our trial roadblock !
Hmm, interesting. I saw one streamer to get pistol from it, he had no points in Combat skills. Will edit my post tho based on your info!

Sideload the apk if you're on Android. Change the App Store location if you're on iOS.
