Mass Effect: Andromeda (PC/Mac/PS4/XB1)

Season passes make no sense to me still.

$$$$$$$$

[Zetanio]

I mean I get that but I don't get what it actually is? Is it a rental?

You pay for all the DLC up front, and it usually ends up being a discount. Not a HUGE discount, but if you were gonna buy all the DLCs individually anyway it would end up saving you some money. The last season pass I got was for Fallout 4 and it was definitely worth it, but it all depends on if you like whatever game enough to upfront say "I enjoy this game so much and have faith that the DLC won't be utter shit so I'll pay for it now."

[Krandor]

It's getting all DLC up front for a generally reduced price, but you're also hedging your bets that you'll still even be playing the game by the time it comes out.

Fallout 4's was a huge discount because they raised the price of their DLC after the pass was made available. Usually it's jus a 5 to 10 dollar saving though. The shitty thing now is the seasons passes. No longer are you getting all of the extra content under one price. Then there are those companies that release content not covered by the pass.

Season Passes go on sale.

huh?

I got the deluxe but I'm not paying an extra 20 bucks for a heads tart in multiplayer. No way.

Do we know what the multiplayer consists of yet? Similar to ME3?

Probably similar, would not be surprised to see pvp tho.

I believe it's already been stated it's just the same basic co-op gameplay. Mass Effects style of combat would not work well for PvP.

[Rulke]

^Iirc this is correct as well, I can't remember where I read it, probably the now defunct message boards.

EA Access members will be able to play up to 10 hours of Mass Effect Andromeda beginning on 3/16, five days before its release to the public. Neat. So, if you want to avoid spoilers you should go dark before that.

[Tyrath]

I assume EA access costs money?

[6souls]

EA/Origin Access is a sub service

I caught it on sale on Newegg, $24 for a year. Shakes out to $2 a month. Don't regret it all. Lots of stuff to play in the vault. And it's perfect for whenever I want to spend a weekend playing a sports game but don't wanna drop $30 to buy one.

So I'm ridiculously excited about this game, but I do have 1 concern. ME 2/3 were done so well...the storyline so integrated and such a high replay value.

Hitting that bar again seems really unlikely. I don't see how they don't disappoint.
