I've only played a few hours, but so far this seems quite fun.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Cool. I hope it remains so until the end.

Well, I could have done without the sudoku mini-game. :D

You could be playing memory or match the colored text in ME2 instead :P

Or whatever that spinning wheel thing was in ME.

Upgraded from the trial. Enjoying it so far. Annoying bug where I can't play it full screen, but have to play windowed borderless.

It seems my worst fears were realized. EA has decided to axe Mass Effect as a franchise due to the controversy over ME:A. So damn typical. EA interferes and creates problems for a franchise and then ends the franchise for being unable to continue to be good. It is not nearly as comically egregious as it was with Ultima and Wing Commader but still...pretty rough.

At least this means when I finally finish my AAR it will be a complete series! :P

Where'd you hear this?

If true, not surprising.  EA is pretty much the worst game company ever. :(

It's dead Jim.

And yeah EA is pretty shit. The other big publishers are not much better though for things like this though.

The kicker is that Andromeda is a quantum leap in gameplay. It also sets up some really neat ideas. They are just colossal fuckwits.

There were mean articles posted on the internet though!!11.

Though not nearly as mean as what usually gets written about EA's management.

I am really enjoying Andromeda. It's fun to be Star Treking in a sitch where there are new civilizations to you, but there's no Prime Directive type issues. Also, I love the jump jets, the biotic dodge, and the pew pew stuff. The daddy issues stuff is handled in a very clever way. I like it.

I need to get back into it. Was very snappy but then I lost a little interest with the Angora. Just don't really care that much about them.

I find the Kett a lot more compelling, and their interaction with the Angara is very interesting. And sort of obvious; it's telegraphed very well what in fact is going on, and although it's unsubtle, it's not badly done at all.

The Elder Scrolls series is still kicking :)

I'm so glad that [spoiler]Cerberus[/spoiler] gets a token appearance in this installment. :D
