Why Mass Effect: Andromeda is Secretly Good
Переглядів 112 тис.6 років тому
If you've heard anything about Mass Effect: Andromeda, it's probably that it's a technical train wreck and an embarrassment on Bioware's legacy. But is that the whole story? Let me take you on a tour of just a few things I love about this much-maligned game, and show you why I think there's more to this little experience than you might think. Follow me on Twitter for shitposts: wood...
Seeing both of Louisoix's pupils Papalymo and Moenbryda smile just before their sacrifices just like he did still brings a tear to my eye.
I will say I wholeheartedly agree. It's the "cool", peer accepted opinion to make fun of and hate the game, but I played thru it at least 3 times that I can remember. The visuals are good, the gunplay and combat was fantastically done, whoever was in charge of that should be given raises. The facial animations were patched and the writing was, okay. I didn't appreciate the Ryders having a more...colorful, vocabulary but I can gloss over that. I'll be playing it again once my current Shepard trilogy run finishes.
Ryder: Cause I'm going to fuck, your, shit, up. Ryder is a Vanguard Class. Me: Ohhh I believe it.
this is gonna be the video we all watch in 10-20 years when ffxiv falls off (dead maybe) and watch to remember the times by,,
Years later and game is still trash. Exploration, writing, acting, plot, characters, AI, quest design, and main character are all just awful. Nothing you did mattered. You had no accomplishments. Anybody who played thos game past the shotty ice planet gets a handshake from me for sticktoitiveness
Andromeda was my introduction to this franchise and I LOVED IT!! This game made me what to play 1-3 so I could understand more the reaper story and the true mission of the initiative. I’m a die hard Dragon Age fan and It was after inquisition that I played andromeda and all the dlc had already came out. The class system was different for me but I liked it a lot as I could diversify my abilities to fit my natural play style. And I thought the whole story was epic! 31:38 - Yas!! They arnt colonists but refugees! 😢
I come from the future. Doing my 3rd Andromeda playthru in 2024. The gameplay is far superior than any game in the trilogy and has very nice atmosphere and world design. The characters are really bad in this game though. Liam and peebee are some of the most insufferably annoying beings I've ever met.... anywhere. The dialogue is so terribly written in many cases. As if 10 year olds were the sole writers. It's laughably bad at times. Drack is awesome though. The kett as enemies just aren't compelling at all.
Well I think that part about the characters is subjective allot of people like peebee but yeah Liam is universally disliked
Master. We're in a struggle. A political struggle. A deep pyscological horror struggle. This game is amusing and confusing at the same time. Draw your gun. In the name of Harman...
What do you mean with secretly!?
My favorite killer 7 essay video
Fun and insightful answers, good luck on your big project!
Immediately downloaded Exit 8, played it all with no info and thought it was great. Thank you for the recommendation and congrats on 1.5k subs!
I really appreciate you making this, especially with this focus. I watched Eva years ago in high school, and I was definitely a pretty big fan. I didn't watch any of the rebuilds and didn't feel that interested- my take was something like 'yeah, doing it over again's cool, but that's what all the fanworks have been about for years anyway.' Over time my tastes changed, my opinion towards Eva soured. I came increasingly to see it as a series for pretentious people who overanalyze and obsess over insignificant things. I used to like it- but things changed. I'd changed... right? This video had a lot of moments that hit pretty hard. It's easier to admit that there isn't shame in liking something, it's interesting to see subtext that I'd overlooked because I'd taken a more cynical, judgmental view of the franchise... and it's good to remember that I enjoyed Eva for much the same reason I like Kojima's stuff. It's always important to remember that you aren't alone in your fears and struggles, and that you never really grow out of needing that.
Well done hitting 1.5k!! I'm listening to this whilst grinding my way through collectible quests in Granblue Fantasy Relink and you're giving me plenty of giggles to break up the tedium ^^ thanks for the video!
Congratulations on the milestone good luck finishing the remake video and make sure to have a nice break after, youtube be damned! I enjoyed this video too nice and casual your bit on FFX-2 was especially good ✨
Really loved listening to this, thankyou for putting it together!
I was a teenage exocolonist mentioned!!!
NARADA SWEEP
GEORDI DATA SWEEP!!!! 👍
dope shit, i really liked your insight about Perspective and also about “Bad” Games but it’s also fun to hear your off the cuff opinions about stuff I’d never think to ask about!
Fun video!! Looking forward to your Remake video c:
Who still watches this 2024?❤❤❤❤❤❤ 👇❤️
After a long time off from Mass Effect (until Legendary Edition), I had forgotten ME Andromeda. I recently rediscovered it. The drunk bitch floating in Eos pissed me off. The faces, body animations SUCKED. The floating bitch is now on the ground, the animations and faces though, still suck. HOWEVER....there is a lot to like. Crafting weapons and armor from ME1 - Check. Being able to respec characters - Check. Exploration? Check. Lots of good stuff. I think the writing could have been better. Combat is flawless. No character blocks, want too be a tech? Check. That profile doesn't work for me...check, Soldier. Good stuff. Would have liked more paragon/renegade options (like shoot the asari and keep the remnant device.).
Killer7 is like The Shining of videogames it has multiple interpretations. I want a sequel.
Great video! I've played Sands of Time to death but really never returned to The Two Thrones. I think i will now though! (Great soundtrack picks, btw. Always love some unexpected Xenogears in my day)
This is an excellent piece of criticism. Instant subscribe! Your bit with the caption on it being dire to use AC as a bar for "ff7 understanding" got a genuine guffaw out of me.
I own Evangelion OG and EOE im going to watch the rebuild in order now on Amazon prime . I’ll come back to this review when im done to give some input as well . Loving the animation for “you are (not) alone” so far it’s a recap I did noticee the water is already red tho in the beginning so a suttle difference so far . Either way I love NGE and am looking forward to this retelling .
Great video. Youve fully converted me on my perception of crisis core
fuck yeah. i replayed CC a few years back after playing through it once as a FF7 fanboy in high school and i was aghast at basically all of what you talk about. Zack fuckin sucks! He learns that Shinra is gangstalking him and his girlfriend and he thinks it's fine! A goddamn shinra killdrone rocks up to his gf's place and the NSA agent watching her says it must have been a malfunction don't worry about it! Like, he's either the most amoral person to ever exist or he's so stupid it makes Shinra more evil for hiring him at all. And yeah, if it was written more competently, more honestly, with more daring, they could have made it a story really worth telling! Zack and Angeal having their dreams corroded and worn down until they're clinging to some ephemeral conception of honor as some veil to hide their guilt, Sephiroth becoming more bitter as his only friends desert Shinra - and, by extension, him - hell, even Genesis could be compelling as he reckons with being Ship of Theseus'd out of his own body by the alien cells replacing his own with identical copies he doesn't control, delaying his own death by turning people who look up to him into copies of himself, constantly reciting the same poem because, so long as he still remembers it, as long as it still means something to him, it means he's still himself. They could have cooked! Looking forward to and dreading Rebirth in equal measure, but only looking forward to your follow-up!
>secretly No.
Really enjoyed this on KH3 - really didnt understand the amount of backlash it got, I thought similarly that it worked really well as a thematic tie up. Feel very rewarded also for just finishing twin peaks in time to watch this lol
I platinumed the game. The combat is extremely fun. The story however, was told in an extremely boring way & the characters were mostly boring as well. On my second playthrough, I skipped every single cutscene. The facial animations didn't really bother me & I didn't really have any issues with bugs. The problem was the writing.
clickbait.
Dropping the acoustic legendary song right at the end. My school mate would be proud
I came here specifically to say how offended I am by that thumbnail title 😂
Andromeda is crap. The characters are like PS2/Xbox which is an absolute disgrace to be on a 8th gen console. Thank Anthem and EAs dead brain cells for andromeda being a shit show.
You barely played it 😂
"secretly"
New Woodaba!!!!!!!!
Great video! The cliffhanger ending is such a threat. But Square's the one who put the threat on the table so I understand and respect that you have to address it.
Excellent video your editing is incredibly confident here. Actually never played Crisis Core knew you destabilised Wutai to extract mako and assumed it "knew what it was doing" so it's very funny to find out that it actually wasn't at all critical of the evil mega corp for having a paramilitary organisation that aids it in its goals.
The Wutai stuff is the closest the game gets to being actually compelling in this regard but it's over before it even begins, really. The conversation I show in this video is legitimately the only time the Wutaian perspective is presented. Getting ahead of myself here but I am extremely happy that Remake has dug much more into the Wutai stuff.

what did he mean by this
My biggest mistake was buying the remaster to the ps5 and not the switch cause its so hard to sit through it in session longer than 30 minutes max
I got it on switch thinking "I can play this on the journey to my girlfriend in Finland" and then while I was still at the airport waiting to board I already had to switch to a different game lmao
@@finnj.1786 i guess in the end its nostalgia for me cause i used to play it on the way to and back from school, oor while waiting till club activities started. I remember being glued to my phone(i had a psp emulator since my parents were strict) and when i finally was an adult and got my first paycheck i bought a psps and the game and binged it. Might be nistalgia or that its literally better on the psp but i love the game. But something with the remaster feels akward
After watching this video, my feet were already under the blanket and my boyfriend smiled. Let's just say I made him feel better because of this video :')
If Sephiroth is ur husband does this mean I can nab Bakura
you can try.............
So used to reading your reviews in my own tone of voice, so this is an interesting experience for me lol Anyway, as is typical for you, this rules!

@@Woodaba Oh!
auarurugrrgggh so is it good or not??!?? no I haven't made up my mind, I clicked your video to see if they're good or not. your title seems to be saying they're bad. Are you saying they're good? Why are you talking about a new perspective if you think they're bad??!?!?!
have you considered watching the video
