Bang for you Buck

   You know after all the P_ssing, and Moaning about this game, in the beginning.. And I did my fair share.

I have to say this is a Huge game, with and UN-godly amount of things to find, and explore.

I am on like maybe my 5th play-through, and I keep finding stuff I never saw before. It takes awhile to reach the end of this game, if you even try to just do maybe half of the side quest's.

The Romances are not as exciting as they were in the first, and second ME, but they are unique, and sort of fun. ( Though the Ugly Characters don't help this )

Truth is, I have had more fun with this game, or played this game more than any other game I bought in 2017.  I find my self returning to it a lot.

 I mean I was a very Big fan of ME1, and 2, and I played ME3 {sadly to the end}.  So I am sure that has some to do with my Continued Playing of ( I find I enjoy ) this game.  However I find the Story is actually not that bad, the Graphics, are actually pretty darned amazing, and now that I run these Mods.

1.Armour - Asari Breather for Ryder-323-

2.Asari Underarmor Chest Replacer All Variants-399-1-0

3.Asari Underarmor Casual Replacer All Variants-399-1-0

4.Suvi Tweak-375-1-0

Which allow My character to look better, and not look like someone pasted Lego blocks on there body, and called it Armor.( However I will say the So called armor in DAI was way more ugly, and stupid looking )

   Also I believe that Most any of the major Bugs Have been fixed, and I don't think I have ever had a CTD, even before the Patches ( I bought the game Day One for PC), and I personally never ran into any Graphics glitch myself, I only saw the Ones others posted ( with the Exception of Once I saw the PC twist her head around almost backwards, which actually made me laugh...

  I do not play Multi player, I never played it on any of the other ME, and I won't play it here.

      So I guess My Post is only about those that Love The single player RPG aspect only. 

 I just cannot make my self Play Ping is King games, and sense they have MTX I know I will not be playing "Ping is King", and because "I spend money" I play better, and look better either.

   People say that Multi player helps sell the game, I think it helps sell MTX, and I also think it brings people to play the game that don't like RPG much anyway, so they automatically begin bashing the single player RPG, as they don't like it anyway, and between matches I am sure they use the forum as a cooling off spot, and personal rage area.

   Just My take, And I am not against Multi player, I use to play them a lot, I just finally realized Ping was always king, and sense Micro Transactions have become the norm for them, I have no desire to play them at all.

    It all boils down to How many Hours I have enjoyed this game, and, that I keep coming back for more.

  So I have to say, that I more than got plenty of bang for My buck, in fact I don't think there are many games I have played, as much as this one that came out in 2017, and am still playing.

    I assumed destroy ending was "most canon" of the 4.. So continuing the story would be easy with new character with all the old ones being there like npcs or followers.. Its Dragon Age formula and it clearly works. Story can go literally anywhere, for example races of the galaxy being pissed off at asari for reasons you find out in that mission on thessia in me3.. Maybe other races learned about that because STG stole the info from humans.. So they want matriarch to answer, while quarians point out bigger problems with what they learned about mass effect fields and their effect on universe in that Tali mission in me2 etc.  You could chose different starting races (human, turian or asari).. Again, worked in Dragon age, didnt it?

    Im not fan of prequels myself (although krogan rebellion sounds badass), but would play anything in ME universe simply because of rich lore.

    I agree continuing the Andromeda story is the most reasonable choice, all that setup, entire Kett Empire to fight etc. It could be fun! 

    But wait, you think Geth are benefactors? :D

    If it wasn't behind the awful Origin platform more people would probably give it a go after the updates and of course time is a great healer.

    I've been trying to download the title for over eight hours and EA Origins is just a horrible mess.

    I could probably have downloaded, installed and actually ran a pirate version (I'm sure it exists by now) in less time it's taken to get to a cancelled sub 41% download, not enough to play and stayed at 0 kb/s despite turning off all other programs on Windows 10.

    I know EA wants to be in control and thus they created Origins but they don't have the servers or the expertise required to make it user friendly.

    As I write I'm at under 120 KB/Sec so it's going to take a while if it even finishes this time.

      I truly feel for you, having a low bandwidth download speed.  I mean you may have a really good service provider.

    I live in a rural area, and have only one choice in a service provider for DSL, and there is no cable ( I could maybe get satellite service, but everyone knows it is terrible for any twitch games )

    anyway I think my best dl speed is like 2 meg, sometimes, but a lot of the time it is about 1.5, and less.  It took me like 4 or 5 days to finally get this game. That was one of the worst parts of it, this "Down Load Only" is pretty hard on me.

      I recently got Quantum break, because I got supposedly the entire game on disk, but I finished the first act, and they want you to be online all the time, for streaming video.

       Screw them, I uninstalled the game, and threw it on the shelf.. ( Sure you can skip the Streaming video, but that's half the fun of the story. and I do not like being constantly connected. ) so I truly hate Quantum break for sure. This was a Microsoft deal, they want you online all the time...WHY ? I think is something very fishy about that. ( Like the camera in there X-Box one, and the Microsoft person who disappeared after he said it will be great information gathering being able to see everyone's living room )

      But Hope you enjoy the game once you get it.
