Cora is like that girl who went and studied abroad for a semester.
-
Cora " did I ever tell you I trained with Asari commandos." Rider face palms. " yes, yes you have."
-
Having Natalie Dormer voice a Asari you can't romance is just a ultimate blue ball move
-
I played it during the tail end of 2022 and I actually liked it, Jaal is hands down my favourite character, most of the game is what I like to call “Jaal suffers the entire time”
-
Not making the twin a companion was a huge mistake. Honestly, it was a huge bummer for me. I thought the twin was going to be super important when i came in, and i even expected that i was going to take control of both twins. Missed opportunity there.
-
By the end, there was also the loose threads of the Quarian Ark and the Initiative's connection to Cerberus, which I believe were supposed to be explored in DLC but they were cancelled.
-
The thing that really did Andromeda in for me was the hidden story behind why they went to Andromeda trapped behind the fetch quest for memories. It was really dumb and lame reason to "hide" and having the whole reason they are there be because escape the Reapers.
-
Primers and detonators were introduced in Mass Effect 3 and was a major component of why I enjoyed that game's multiplayer.
-
I listen to these with a single earphone while on long shifts and boy does it make my day go by quicker. Thanks Gingy, I hope to be able to make similar videos in the future as story analysis is my bread and butter.

The biggest problem in Mass Effect Andromeda is the lack of choices - there's only three times in the game where you get to make a decision that has a visible outcome. Every quest in Andromeda ends exactly the same regarding what dialogue you make. In Mass Effect 1 even if you don't see the consequences of your decions e.g. 'save x' or 'leave y to die' you at least get to make those choices. In Andromeda every choice is made for you, even in tiny side missions

Ashley saved my soul with those fire grenades countless times in the third game! And edi with her clone. Truly missed the ability wheel.

Imagine playing as Alec. A mature man/woman with a family he/she cares about, having to deal with one of their children being stuck in cyro and a mission that just doesn't go a lick as planned. The game would have been more Mass Effect with them, than Scott. Also if they found it hard to implement a second side character more, they could have just made them a mute.
-
Tbh i genuinely hope ME5 will address the arcs in Andromeda. There was enough intriguing plot points for me that was interested in more
-
Andromeda is overly hated on (to an extent). Gameplay, Characters, Setting, etc are mostly fine... But I was let down by the story... They had so much narrative freedom & potential being set 600 years after 3 in another galaxy, which has rarely been done in sci-fi. Yet they barely took any story risks, repeated things done before, teased deeper things that should've been shown/explained more, & didn't make it more alien (e.g. Still had humanoid races that mostly use similar tech to us: Guns, etc)
-
The reapers were horrifying... They were unbeatable... the reapers had me traversing the galaxy on behalf ceberus doing things I normally wouldn't do. We literally beat the Reapers by a miracle and all possible effort the galaxy could muster. If the Kett had attacked the milky way galaxy the whole lot of us would've been wiping our asses with kett faces.
-
45:58 another character that explores the dichotomy between science and faith (or lack thereof) in a very interesting way is Padok Wiks from ME3. Unfortunately, conversing with him in detail means Mordin has to have died in ME2, so a lot of players missed out on his great dialogue.
-
29:11 its constantly mentioned in the game that they met the exiles at kadara before the pathfinder or the nexus so thats how they know about the initiative before you meet in-game as kadara port used to be an angaran port that was taken over by sloane kelly
-
Played this about a year after launch and got it for like.... Ten bucks maybe? Had a blast, long enough after launch that most things were fixed. Going back to the og three now and I really miss the jump jet lol
-
Really loving this channel lately. Been falling asleep listening to a lot of your stuff. Fantastic content and I love your steady, analytical pace in going through the narratives.

After everything I heard about this game I expected complete rubbish, but after I finished playing the Legendary Edition, I decided to complete my Mass Effect marathon and played Andromeda, and it turned out to be a really fun game. The Gameplay is the best of the entire Franchise, and the story may not be as good as the others, but it's still decent and the characters are very fun and charismatic.
