Anyone have a guide on how to make classic Shepherd from the character creator?
That's right - I'm living in the past.

Hey some of my shots
Yeah game looks really great a lot of the time. Animations stop it from looking really great all the time but that doesn't mean the whole game is bad. Combat seems like it can get really fun, I'm already enjoying doing combos with powers.
I've just been exploring Eos for the last 2 and half hours and it's been awesome. If there's a decent number of more planets this interesting and large to explore I will be very happy. I was turned off of Inquisition fast in the Hinterlands but not here, really liking it.
Game runs worse when out on the open planet exploring though.
Some Eos shots.

If anyone can answer I'd appreciate it. If you go ahead and buy it can I continue playing where the trial ends right now or do I have to wait for the real release date?

Yes. You can pick right up where you were when your 10 hours ended
I was able to continue from where I was in the campaign for BF1 after it's trial and think I heard people saying the same for Mirror's Edge. Pretty sure it would be that way here too but I'm not 100% positive on that.
^Seems like that's a yes.

Xbox framerate is horrible on the planet, such an underpowered console

Sorry. The whole game is loaded but you are limited to 10 hours of SP, which also has a story cut off and MP. So 10 hours from now until 20th

Yeah my friend has PS4 pro review copy and my brother has a XBOXone. The pro is so much better looking than the Xbox. I feel for the xbox users who got boned. I guess they could wait for Scorpio if it is that big a problem.

Well, that saves me from a late night purchase. Now to find a deal on a key. Thank you for the answers.

I thought so too and I wasted WAY too much time of the trial fiddling with it and came up with multiple aesthetically pleasing Ryders. I didn't mess around with a female Ryder because cross-gaming isn't my jam but My brother's female Ryder looks really good too.
Do yourself a favor and make lighter eyes because the lighter eyes read so much better in the Live game.

I tried out multiplayer, it feels really weird with the new "get close to a wall to use cover" feature. I keep hitting the jet pack while I try to get into cover.

Actually, I'm thinking of settling with the default Sarah Ryder. She's kinda growing on me.
Its amazing what happens when people can actually you know, play the game and have fun rather then get caught up trying to turn it into the recreation of America's funniest home videos.

Any predcitions how long this is, 50-60 or 100 hours?

So, got it working. Had to put everything on high or very high. Ultra is very demanding. At 4K but using res scaler (.60) so a little over 1440p. Using around 75%-85% of my 1080 so maybe a little tweak but I'll wait for new drivers.
No issues with frame rate or frame timing. Smooth on planets and looks decent. DoF is a little pixelated.
So a few hours left.

I went with Sarah. She has been shown a lot in the marketing so I figured the push for her might be warranted. Never played as femshep bc male shep is the only shep (/s) so this seemed a fitting chance to do so.

Yes. But 10 hours only and there is a wall that stops you from going to far. For 5$ you get an awesome deal. Plus, other games in the ea vault.Question, if I subscribe now for a month of Origin access do I still get the ME trial ?
Thanks

Playing on insanity has definitely been enlightening, particularly on Eos. Trying to go for a tanky sentinel build but it often seems fruitless when you get shredded regardless.
Do you find yourself getting pulled in and snapping to cover you're trying to run past? This was a big problem for me with ME3, which was made worse by the fact that you couldn't vault over cover a lot of the time.
I haven't seen the new cover system, not sure how it works. Looking forward to trying out the multi when I get home. I'll save the campaign for the full release, I think.
Monday I believe. Not sure what time.

Is it really that bad? Man, I keep going back and forth on cancelling my PS4 preorder and wait for Persona 5. The reviews hit on monday right? I'll wait untill I cn get some impressions of performance on the standard PS4.
This was my fear. The extra 10hr early trial + future save games being on Xbox for Scorpio swayed me to that platform even though I could experience the Ps4 Pro '4k' glory. Also had a couple of friends grabbing the Xbox version so multiplayer makes more sense there.

Which planet? Once the game stopped installing, performance on Habitat 7 wzs fine for me.

That's what I heard. A lot of people's performance woes who were loading it to play 42% completion disappeared when they restarted after the game fully downloaded.

So here's a curveball: I find Cora a bit dull and PeeBee's kinda charming so far. I expected to greatly favor Cora.

Cora reminds me of Ashley. If she doesn't develop more of a personality or an interesting backstory I will probably be leaving her on the ship as I did Ashley. She is cool looking though.

Yeah, this is the only Mass Effect thread on here right now that doesn't look like it's been lifted from GameFAQs. I was very close to logging off for a few weeks as well, so it's nice to see a reminder that this forum can be a great place.

In two they mentioned the universal language is Basic like a lot of sci-fi properties do. Kind of a simple explain away but whatever.

Nah it's not basic, it's universal translators. Everyone's basically got one on their omni-tool.

Not really, it's more like, you want cover? Okay just get close to the cover and it'll make your character duck down to represent that you're in cover, but there's no hard snap to the wall like in ME3. The only issue I had was that I would get hit sometimes even when I was supposedly in cover, but I do remember getting hit while in cover in ME3 so I'm not sure if that's something new and different.
Huh.. I totally didn't check, I saw custom female faces that are better than anything in the single player presets and some Asari classes.
Edit: Just checked, there's Asari, Krogan, Turian classes and classes with one of the new alien races but no Quarians.

I'll defer to you because I can't recall the exact thing. Maybe I'm thinking of The Old Republic. I get my bioware stuff mixed up lol

Yeah I think basic is a Star Wars thing. The only true answer is sci-fi stuff.

Just played an hour and the writing so far is really bad. This is amateur sci-fi fanfiction levels bad but maybe it's just the prologue. Other than that the game seems fine so far. Graphics are good although the frame rate on Xbox One is rather bad. Will definitely wait for reviews if the story and writing stays like this.

BRUUUUUUHHHHHH!!! The multiplayer is
Shit is on point. Hella addicted to it already. Man just when I thought ME3 multiplayer was fucking fantastic, they went and dropped this bombshell on me.
If ME3 multiplayer is a .50cal sniper rifle
Andromeda multiplayer is a nuclear warhead.
The fast paced action, the jump jets, the dodging, the climbing up on top of buildings, the fact that enemies can come from below and above you now, the new gun sounds, the new sprint and jumpjet melee, power all have their own cooldowns so combos out the ass, the very fast movement, and once you get a momentum going, man its like a fucking pain train of fun.
my god.
Man with the human vanguard. im just fucking DOMINATING the score boards. Jumping all up in niggas faces and shit, shotgun blast, nova, then charge the next guy and punch him in the face(which restores 20% of my shield btw) followed by a shockwave that sends him flying into the abyss.................man this shit is just too good.
Even if the campaign was complete garbage(which I havent even started yet) i'd be completely happy with just the multiplayer.
Any more multiplayer impressions? I'm trying to decide if I want the multiplayer bad enough to retain my preorder.
Also, any word on how multiplayer affects single player? Do I have to play to a certain point in single player for multiplayer to give me single player rewards? Do MP-to-SP rewards "degrade" over time like galactic readiness in ME3, or are they permanent? I'm trying to gague if I can just jump straight into multiplayer at launch and still get single player rewards.

You should filter out some of the buzzkill noise. The boorish children fancy themselves wannabee Yahtzees. There are some issues but the kiddies are blowing them crazy out of proportion. I'm fairly safe in saying you will have fun.
