So it seems that most people are going with female then. Then I guess I stick to Sara as well. At least this way if her VO is bad (like some people are saying), then we all suffer through it together lol

Hope posting my own stupid doodles is OK.
Its an old Star Trek joke, but I had hoped for more interesting aliens, new galaxy and all.

Is it like ME2 planet scanning? I loved that, so relaxing

Random question - all media (and memes) for this game seem to feature femryder, to the point I have no idea what male Ryder looks like. Is it the default / choice of marketing ?
In spite of all memes, I think she looks adorably dorky and looking forward to the game (warts and all)

she's actually had much less of a marketing spotlight
i think people just latched onto her, initially because they claimed she was ugly and have now done a complete 180 and think that she is cute because of her oddities
the spin has me shook

Every non-Origin store won't send their keys until the 23rd? Ugh, I really don't want to shell out $60 for this...

I'm stuck in a similar dilemma, only with
Vetra
Some user said cdkeys will sent their keys out today, but the time is not known.
Haha, I mean I also didn't mind it. I didn't mind a lot of the stuff ME was criticized for over the 3 games which I why I want to experience Andromeda for myself so badly.
I seem to have this problem as well. Game is unlocked and pre-loaded, but can't start playing.
No official comparison, the few people who are already playing on a pro said its mostly locked 30 with rare drops, but no one has said which mode they're playing.
So probably going to have to wait for an official analysis for actual numbers.
I wish I could unlock early on PS4 with VPN, but stuck waiting for 11pm tonight.
no, it's more like ME3 where you have to follow a pointer to a hotspot
mining on the ground is similar to ME2 -- you drive around and try to find optimal peaks between all the resources. It's not nearly as 'relaxing'
the scanning is especially tedious because it takes forever to travel between planets, and that is the only way to find out if a planet has anything

I like the style of your doodles. What do you use to make these?
Sarah Ryder "stole" the spotlight in a complete unintentional way lol. People started saying that she was ugly, which gave her negative attention (which is better than nothing right?). Then, the numerous gifs made her the unofficial Ryder lol. The GIF where she look dumbfounded is already legendary as far as I'm concerned.
Not at all. I didn't mind ME2's scanning. ME:A's is way worse: long "loading"/transition times, banal text, unappealing music, and very limited interactivity.
Was thinking about doing the same, how do the non-default characters animate? (by this games standard, no need to rag on the animations more than has been already said)
I just usually notice in a lot of games (orignal ME games included), the default characters just look a lot more natural in motion, or are the Andromeda custom characters generally on par with the quick-start options)
I couldn't even figure out the planetary scanning mechanic. Doubt I'll even try again. Seemed like busy work of the worst kind.

Is there only one "anomaly" to find per scannable planet? They were guessing on the GB quick look that you could only find one, versus the multiple in ME2
yes, like ME3
it's almost identical to how ME3 works but instead of pinging planets to see if they have something, you have to travel to them and sit through a dumb transition
dave is ok
aztek is ok

Really? They told me yesterday that keys will be given out 24 hours before the 23rd, so I decided to refund it and get it on Origin(I have to wait up to 2 days before getting my refund...fuck I should've just waited).

People keep saying that the game picks up after Eos, but I already really enjoyed Eos now that I'm done with it. Can't wait to progress through the story.

Just put origin into offline mode after unlocking. No need to use the VPN again.

If the streams is anything to go by, the pop in is a magnitude worse on PS4 pro than on PC. Frame rate looks better than base PS4 though.
Female. Fem Shep was leagues better than Male Shep. Plus I can't stand this dollar store version of Nolan North. It's too distracting. I have expect Sully to come back with a quirp.
Hey, is SLI borked with new update from GeForce? Getting mid 40s at .90 resolution scale at 4k Ultra (no AA, shadows are MED) on two 1080s.
I just checked my email, got the cdkey as well...Which looks like a cropped picture or scan of a retail key lol.
I'll try the key in a few mins

aztek is ok
Mine worked fine for the people worrying about them.

I just placed a pre-order at cdkeys, no success though. Maybe I'll put some pressure on them by requesting a refund.
Well, they generally are retail keys.

Whenever I get the game, I'll be going Female Ryder. I played as Male Shephard for the original trilogy so I think female is the way to go this time around. Also, yeah, some of the expressions are bound to be a good laugh.
