Xth for Mako

I miss Tali so fucking much.

t. drunk who is about to take 18 year old pussy.

Stop making fun of PeeBee

No. Your waifu a shit.

You should have just gotten over her after ME1 when she stopped being any good.

>Andromeda releases on a Tuesday
>still have two more days of classes
Why?

I miss MEGSEV so fucking much.

nice OP

I feel you, bro. I can't take any time off that week cus we got shit going on. Planning on taking a long weekend afterwards though.

You know... assuming the preview isn't horribly broken or disappointing.

> Don't have uni classes until Wednesday

Feels good

...

ME3 Tali is still a very good waifu.

Basically perfect.

I miss her so fucking much. Fanfiction cannot fully fill the void.

16th for Peebee is the best

He looks like a cutie, but I'm not convinced. I'm just not feeling this whole species.

Hopefully, Cora and Vetra are lesbo options. Femryder needs an older and more experienced woman, BeePee is atrocious

femryder and cora romance would make my dick diamonds

Is Frostbyte a bad engine, or are Bioware bad developers?
I haven't played the other Frostbyte games, so I can't tell about the first proposition, but animations used to be tighter in past games.

...

frostbyte is fine, Bioware is just so progressive that they dont fire all the hacks who work there

Frostbite is a fantastic engine if you know what you're doing with it, look at the animation, graphics, and performance of Battlefield 1 and Battlefront. While Battlefront especially is rather bad gameplay wise they excelled in these aspects more than a majority of vidya out there.
Bioware doesn't really know what they're doing with Frostbite and it shows.

Good morning pricks.
Has Bioware been killed by EA yet?

Later this year.

Soon from the looks of it.

>are Bioware bad developers?
None of their productions have been technical marvels.

...

Does the appearance of your sibling/father change based on how you customize your character like in DA2?

I think you can customize both characters regardless of who you end up picking, just like in Fallout 4. Your father is confirmed to resemble both of you, actually also very similar to Fallout 4 with Shaun/"Father"

I think that's where they got the idea from. This thing became popular, Dishonored 2 also had it this way that both selectable characters are "in the story" anyway, though in both cases they ended up dead or as DiD.

I hope it isn't like Dishonored 2 where the character you don't pick is a vegetable for the entirety of the game

Dishonored did this so you can be a real dick and keep them trapped in stone but Bioware won't kill off Sara/Scott because they probably think having them alive at the same time is the coolest shit

The sibling you don't pick goes off to do their own thing, the launch trailer you can see NPC Sara get captures by the Kett.

Jolly good

I miss Tali so goddamned much.

Early spoilers but

beginning of their game the sibling you don't pick has their pod thrown around the room when the grav turns off and is damaged, keeping them out of the action and on the Hyperion/Nexus until the Kett have enough of your shit

I want to have a short femtur gf!

user we get it. Let go for fucksake.

She gets captured along with the Captain of the Hyperion, I assumed that means the human ark gets attacked at some point ME2 style and you have to rescue her.

She probably is stuck on Hyperion the whole time, as a cripple

She's gone
Never to appear again
Let go

I'm very sorry, I'm ten shots deep.

I want to commit genocide against the Batarians.

They are practically extinct by ME3

Is that tails?

no it's nuggles the enchilada

It looks like a roided out Tails. Can SEGA sue for copyrights infringement?

I want to commit genocide on bioware

What is the best kind of ammo for a Soldier in ME2? Cryo seems like it'd be pretty mediocre but I'm not sure how much damage Incendiary will do.

I'm thinking that Disruptor might honestly just be the best.

Inferno. Pair with Concussive Shot for constant explosions.

Now that we're getting closer to release and shit: which sibling are you going to play (first) and why?

Vote you cucks: strawpoll.me/12513192

ME2 didn't have fire explosions bruh

BroRyder is good looking, Sis Ryder is ugly. Not even a choice

Not with that attitude.

best husbando!

Playing as men in games is for fags and Femshep was infinitely better.

BroRyder looks like shit with his little patchy beard.

I want a femtur gf to go to the beach with!

Is that TIM clothes

I'm going to marry him!

I'm going to genocide his whole species

Of course.

Why though?

this

So whens that new video meant to be coming out? Monday or Tuesday?

apparently you CANNOT modify anything related to your team. no alternative costumes or even weapons. I'm not sure about this next point, but apparently you cannot tell them to use a specific power, only "prime" or "detonate" or a more general attack. it feels like a core aspect of gameplay has been removed or reduced to the point of redundancy.

I'm a cerberus agent

Humans need living space.

They could share! It doesn't always have to go right to genocide!

We have to manifest destiny

it doesn't, but alien murder is always fun.

Not really, they're food and lifestyle is going to be incompatible with us

Sorry, nothing personal we just need the same real estate.

I want to make Jaal cry!

You don't think there's any benefit to mutual sharing of cultures?

No, when two cultures meet they compete to see which is domonent, that on top of two different species share the same living space it's a very touchy issue, see Serbia.

Fair enough. I just thought since Jaal's doing that angaran word of the day thing that they might be more receptive to peaceful coexistence.

Alas user, resources are finite.

> Resources are finite

This is a less pressing issue when you're a space-faring race.

This, femangarans look worse than femturs

You would hope so...but mind you humans just arrived here from a possible galaxy ending threat.

I want to marry Shepard so badly.

With joy and love.

> A possible galaxy ending threat

The reaper invasion? It hadn't even started when the initiative left.

> Yfw the ending credits of Andromeda has a song by Faunts

Not happening

i had a dream about jaal last night. he was working on impregnating a miniature planet by sticking a utensil into his penis to extract a green liquid that he injected into said planet. which ended up turning it into a bomb.

it was weird.

end yourself, sick fuck

what did his penis look like

>He isn't going to do his first Andromeda playthrough on Insanity

Shaking my head at you user.

M8.......

Tryharding is for autistic nolifers

I don't have to try hard to beat the game on Insanity, I just don't want to 1 shot everything.

Try The Division. Would be perfect for you

Kill urself retard Insanity doesn't make enemies bullet sponges.

OH REALLY

"oh no I can't kill this giant mech with half a clip AAAAAAAAA BULLET SPONGE"

So difficulty is basically a bullet sponge?

Already credited.

Insanity is a nice challenge where enemies die at a decent rate and hit fairly hard forcing you to make good use of cover and you and your squads ability, anything else just consists of you shooting 3 bullets at everything and instakilling it.

So, just hiding behind a barrel for more than normal time, because the enemies have more health in other words, bullet sponge?

there've already been articles making specific mention of just how bullet-spongey enemies are on even the lowest difficulty levels.
'insanity' will be bang-head-against-wall stupid artificiality, not hard

No? Enemies having shields on Insanity when they otherwise didn't doesn't make it bullet spongy, it just makes you actually use the right powers when you need to.

>Insanity was just right in 3 and Bioware fucked it all up again
Not surprising

>bullet-spongey enemies
I've heard this said about DAI as well, and you can kill bosses there in seconds on max difficulty. Some people just REALLY suck at videogames.

>that image
>gun not backwards
