Oh good, now I can look like a PROPER mong. [editline]8th June 2017[/editline] At least the new female looks like a good preset to start off with.

They nerfed Juggernaut Shield in Multiplayer, it no longer gives a bonus of 75% Melee Damage, instead it gives 15%, but they've altered the base damage of Melee attacks, so instead of it being practically a requirement for Melee Builds, it's an optional bonus. (Apart from with Krogan's where it makes a bigger difference) [quote]Before the change it was a necessity, now it's just a small amount of extra damage that doesn't make as big of an impact. Omni Blade Damage Before 1.08 (With Melee Boost) - 481.25 - (Without Boost) - 275 Omni Blade Damage After 1.08 (With Melee Boost) - 460 - (Without Boost) - 400 The Krogan Hammer and Headbutt however have changed more though, especially Headbutt. Krogan Hammer Damage Before 1.08 (With Boost) - 700 - (Without Boost) - 400 Krogan Hammer Damage After 1.08 (With Boost) - 747.5 - (Without Boost) - 650 Krogan Headbutt Damage Before 1.08 (With Boost) - 577.5 - (Without Boost) - 330 Krogan Headbutt Damage After 1.08 (With Boost) - 851 - (Without Boost) - 740 Basically if you want to play a Melee Character, Krogan Vanguard and Mercenary are the best.[/quote]

[QUOTE=27X;52326380]Actually untrue. There was a company wide design mandate, and you'll be seeing it in Dylan as well.[/QUOTE] Please NO! I lost all interest in Mass Effect after playing Andromeda. I still have hope for Dragon Age. I really hope they don't ruin it.

[QUOTE=Chains!;52328081]now use female hairs on Males, and vice versa: [t]http://i.imgur.com/DJbkGgd.jpg[/t] [/QUOTE] I legit thought that was just a female Ryder for a moment. That's just how fucking ugly default Fem Ryder looks to me.

Looks like MP to me

Yeah, seems the new head is good for making characters, also Male hair on Females looks alright, WHAT A SURPRISE. [t]https://puu.sh/weKcn/611996f887.jpg[/t]

[t]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/1894/images/208-4-1496683349.png[/t] Oh hey, Peebee's face paint is fucking awful.

Removing that paint, she goes from looking kind of annoying to looking pretty cute, why isn't that how she looks by default?

damn if she removed her facepaint when she tried to bang me I might just let her

[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;52357574]Removing that paint, she goes from looking kind of annoying to looking pretty cute, why isn't that how she looks by default?[/QUOTE] Gotta make the blue girl 'unique' somehow.

[QUOTE=Stroheim;52357813]Gotta make the blue girl 'unique' somehow.[/QUOTE] I think her having avastly different face from literally every other Asari in the game is pretty unique enough.

I mean she's supposed to be a contrarian, anti-conformist weirdo.

This game is currently 50% off on Origin. Are most of the issues in it fixed now? I've been waiting for them to actually finish the game before I buy it.

Depends on what you consider issues. Eyes have been improved, some cutscenes replaced or improved, facial animations improved but not entirely fixed, lots of bugs fixed, additional content added. But its not like the entire main plot is going to warp and change. They might refine it a bit, but its going to stay the same core product. Frankly for 30 bux, I think you could do a lot worse. I'd say its similar to BF4 where the launch product isn't very good but the late life one is much better. But I don't know if I'd go that extreme, because BF4 to my memory was far more fucked up than this ever was. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJbTixZso8s[/URL] I mean seriously why did this have to be a patch and why did the developers say nothing

I've been keeping an eye on the patch notes and it seems to have come a long way. It's the things like Asari with copy-paste faces which hasn't been fixed yet that bothers me. I'd hate to buy it now, play it and then a patch is released which improves on things like that, which is why I've been holding off for so long. The longer I wait, the cheaper the game and the more improved it is.

[QUOTE=Adamhully;52359846]This game is currently 50% off on Origin. Are most of the issues in it fixed now? I've been waiting for them to actually finish the game before I buy it.[/QUOTE] Still crashes, physics still cause gigantic CPU spikes up to and including crashes, sound still drops routinely, still has code threading issues, matchmaking is still ass, and level 80 is about when things stop progressing correctly and enemies turn into Grineer bullet sponges.

Still fucking baffles me that the Angara only have two face models repeated ad nauseam through the whole game.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;52360288]Still fucking baffles me that the Angara only have two face models repeated ad nauseam through the whole game.[/QUOTE] That's still double the amount the Asari have. And the Salarians. Hell, we're lucky Eve was in Mass Effect 3 to give Krogan females a different look or the Krogan would probably all just be palette swaps too.

Honestly my only reason for wanting to do a New Game+ is to bang Cora, playing as a female the first time around kinda stopped me from doing that.

[QUOTE=Adamhully;52359846]This game is currently 50% off on Origin. Are most of the issues in it fixed now? I've been waiting for them to actually finish the game before I buy it.[/QUOTE] For 50% off it's a good asking price really, I mean I got plenty of playtime out of but in terms of problems I've had, since most of the singleplayer shit has been fixed up and characters look nicer, it's easier to tolerate the fairly dull story, gameplay though is fucking spot on really; in terms of problems I've had, crashing and what not, I've honestly not really encountered much, I think it's crashed like twice, multiplayer connection can be a bit weird, sometimes it lags like shit, other times it's flawless.

Finally getting round to my New Game Plus play through after waiting for some updates, going pure sniper this time. It's pretty satisfying to headshot people, just need to find some good sniper mods. [QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;52362393] Right, I get that you don't like this game, probably even hate it really, but come on, if someone's asking if it's worth buying don't be so biased about it.[/QUOTE] Both him and Zeos seem to be really angry that Andromeda isn't as good as they thought it would be, and you only see them in here criticising the game. From someone who's played hundreds of hours of the original trilogy, and loved it. Andromeda is a good game and is well worth it for half price. Honestly imo it's the second best game in the series behind ME3. ME2 got boring after the first play through because it's 90% loyalty + recruitment missions.

If those facts cast the game in a negative light, that is entirely your problem, and no one else's. [QUOTE]isn't as good as they thought it would be[/QUOTE] I knew exactly how good this was going to be, so your pop psychology treatise isn't really relevant.

That would imply you think something is good, but you come off like nothing is good.

[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;52363947]That would imply you think something is good, but you come off like nothing is good.[/QUOTE] Considering he's talking about [I]Mass Effect: Andromeda[/I], I think this time he may be onto somethin

It's not a bad game, it's just a bad mass effect game. It's not a particularly good game either though, don't get me wrong.

[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;52363947]That would imply you think something is good, but you come off like nothing is good.[/QUOTE] Considering the tone of your TES posts and your apparent problem with these posts, I'm just going to chuckle and move on.

Except that he's not even bothering to say anything good at all because he clearly doesn't like that game, it's not like it's a mixture of good and bad things, it's just bad things like the game is unplayable. [QUOTE=27X;52364260]Considering the tone of your TES posts and your apparent problem with these posts, I'm just going to chuckle and move on.[/QUOTE] You're going to have to explain that one to me because I have no idea what you're on about.

I usually don't like to dish out this kind of arsh judments, but, as far as I'm concerned, disliking Andromeda should count as a [I]duty[/I]
