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

[Anoat]

I just finished the Havarl mission, made the vault work on the planet. Was I supposed to be able to settle a colony there like I did EOS?

Short answer; no. Longer answer in spoilers.

Spoiler: show

Go back to the Tempest and check your email for a message from Addison. She'll redirect you back to Havarl and you get the explanation on why.

Ok that's what I remember, BW had its drawbacks compared to Widow.

When I finally unlocked BW in ME3 I couldn't make myself switch from Valiant. Valiant had a lightning quick reload and I believe a much higher ammo capacity. Could really pump out DPS

I'm curious to see how things like the Lanatt compare

The Black Widow was a very good sniper in ME3 and most of my friends used it, but the order I unlocked them was Widow > Black Widow > Javelin, and I think 95% of my sniper kills in ME3 were split between the Widow and Javelin. Just didn't like the lower damage per bullet of the Black Widow. And the Javelin had the best sound ever.

My progression for ME3 snipers was Widow > BW > Valiant. BW always felt a little off to me but eventually I couldn't deny the superior DPS over vanilla Widow. I feel like I won't like the Widow here because no reload canceling but who knows. Valiant was a comfort thing.

I notice that grenade abilities on Infiltrators don't break cloak. Anyone know if they receive cloak bonus though?

I take back prior statements about never really getting fps drops during combat, Havarl is a fucking shitstorm of lag spikes and overall shitty performance.

Weird, I'm running it on high on my 970 and havarl had no issues.

Looking closer at this it appears to be because I'm on a laptop (and thus have a naturally weaker CPU). CPU usage frequently goes to 100% while wandering around Havarl, which coincides directly with the framerate dropping into the 40s.

Anyone tried this on the PS4 Pro?

I've got it for my Pro. Runs pretty smooth.

Finally got it yesterday (stupid PS4 UK release date).

I'm hooked. Played a bit of multiplayer then dove into single player. Just reached the Nexus and it's pretty awesome so far.

Clancy Brown is the best spacedad.

That one side cave on Eos got me good. Nearly shit my pants when that damn thing fell over.

[Zetanio]

Bought it last night, did the first hour or so. I see some of the complaints people have brought up and they're valid. It's still a great game so far imo. Performance is ROCK steady 60fps on my sweet sweet new card.

Okay, I didn't mind Space Sudoku at first, but the puzzles on Voeld made me say FUCK THAT out loud and I just searched out the solutions online.

[Krandor]

Hidden caches often contain the decryption keys. I think I've got like 4 or 5, tho I don't bother since I kinda enjoy the ghetto sudoku.

[Buffy]

I got Hvarl to 100% viability.

Yeah I can't hear anything but Kumail Nanjiani and I fucking hate his voice.

If you're a console player, let it be known the bug in the item store preventing 2 equipment items from being displayed was fixed yesterday. Costs 70 and 120 mission funds. Roll out those strike teams as you can, the 120 one is worth I think. 10% more shields and 75% more melee damage. The 70 one is just "holds more ammo" and seems either underwhelming or bugged.

Seriously wtf I can't get immersed with his voice in my head.

So it appears you can get planets to 100% Viability without having to do all of the planet's side quests. You will still get AVP though, so still worth doing it.

And you're okay with your spacedad being the Kurgan and the guard from Shawshank? Never watched Silicon Valley so he just sounds Salarian to me.

Shut down by Suvi in the first 2 minutes?

Fuck this game, uninstalled.
