Mass Effect: Andromeda isn't the worst game I've ever played | Part 1

Mass Effect: Andromeda is the most recent Mass Effect game unless you're watching this after Mass Effect 4 came out... or maybe it's Mass Effect 5? Either way, I'm not changing this video description. This is famously the terribly-reviewed game that caused EA to put the entire Mass Effect franchise on ice.
But is it really as bad as people on the internet say? well, the truth is more complicated.

"Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom" legit went through my head during my second playthrough
I've come to terms that Andromeda is a fantastic B-movie weighed down by being 60 hours long.

It's not your computer. I can run both god ray rtx games and Bethesda games somehow, but Andromeda? Worse than Skyrim with over a thousand mods AND 4K textures.

@@lorddootinator4332I played Andromeda about 6 months ago with R7 5800X, GTX 1660Ti and 16GB of RAM and had barely any issues somehow. Ship still was laggy but is seems to be so because they had genius idea to use path tracing only there at the time when it wasn't popular yet yhus barely any optimisation. I started to have real issues only by second Saudi Arabia with local Shai-Hulud.
I am pretty sure that the reason the Aliens never "correct" you for your use of "Andromeda" is because everything you are all saying is being translated via sci-fi translator magic robots. I am like 99% sure that is a thing in the mass effect universe. Basically none of the Aliens you meet in any of the mass effect games actually speak English. My headcanon is that Shepard actually speaks Quebecois.

Yes, exept Javik is the only one to not need them and speak your language. The protean are Imperialist but they will bother to learn your language before enslaving you.

This was around the time I learned that the orginal staff and the 2 FOUNDERS of BioWare left the company because they hated what EA was having them do. And DAMN is it obvious!
Even in light of all the evidence to what should be the contrary, I still had a pretty good time with Andromeda. That said, this video is a masterpiece. Major props to your skills of writing and video editing.

It really is hiding in plain sight. They only ever call it out at the very end of the game if you choose to support Angaran sovereignty.

I really really like what you did at 5:12 where lightning struck and the infringement happened. It made me laugh for a solid 10 seconds
I seriously cannot tell if the writing on this was always meant to emulate the sitcom slop if the 2000s or if the writers were parasitized by non-union writers before it even started developing
Man, I loved that painted Gigachad initiative thumbnail XDD
10:02 "Canards" are essentially stabilizing fins on aircraft. Now, why would this be a problem for Spacecraft? Well, spacecraft have no need to Befriend the Spirals, and thus get minimal to no use out of them in the empty void of Space, where there are no Spirals to Befriend.
This is great! Awesome work BB
A thick Aussie accent would have made Foster Addison slightly more tolerable.
I appreciate that you downloaded the Reaper AmogUs Mod to make a joke but I have to point this out: 11:34 the original had her holding the pistol backwards and you could have downloaded a video of it so you could have Peebee not only shoot the robot but shoot it with the WRONG SIDE OF THE GUN.
I love the style of this video. If your other content is similar, i'm going to stay here for long, long time :D

My favorite bit is how the Angara, a race that evolved in a completely different universe and doesn't even have the excuse of the progenitors guiding evolution in the galaxy is somehow physically ( Even if not genetically ) sexually compatible with humans. XD
Colonialism simulator you say? Perhaps I need to investigate this game.
12:40 fun fact, rimworld also has a mysterious race of creatures known as the Archotech, who are smarter, psychic, technical being that are so powerful they ascended to godhood, that’s how you make cool aliens
Happy I came across your stuff, your style is Strong and only getting stronger. There's also a lot of satisfacting watching this treatment done to Andromeda as one of the people who have/had so much nerdrage over it earlier. By now I think I've moved on, but it's still fun to make fun of it.
Alex Jones has escaped containment on earth and invaded the Andromeda galaxy. God help us.
I never played any of the other Mass Effect games and got this on sale about 2 years after it came out and I’m ngl I fucking loved it. Really hoping for a second one
"You're playing a bioware game, every bar is a gay bar." lmao
I'm betting this vid will blow up. Hope so
Fantastic video
You cannot keep a good Castro down.
The real tragedy of Andromeda is that the combat is BY FAR the best in the series, but it came at the cost of a good story and interesting characters
No idea who you are but this was hilarious and I subscribed. Some high effort content.
I'll be honest, this game would have been 567% better if all of Alec Ryder's dialogue was replaced with random clips from Alex Jones' rants.
big beak? more like big funny. I'm sorry that's a bad joke... a bit like mass effect Andromeda!

If it was like 30 hours shorter it would have been a great B-Movie type game. The problem is all the traveling between separate maps within the same quest destroys the game's pacing.
ryders dad is alec jones X'D so much yes!
Alex Jones: 'Incoherent yelling.' The Archon: Who is this emissary of the Gods? I laughed pretty hard at that one. One of the biggest Missed Opportunities was Colony Management, in that this game has none of that. I don't just want to set them up, I wanted to run them.
Started a new game in Andromeda after Starfield came out, while it’s still definitely my least favorite Mass Effect game it definitely did planetary exploration better than the Todd Squad’s latest slop.
algorithm please bless this man
I got this game when it was released.... I didnt have any problems with bugs or the weird playdo faces and was hilarious to see videos and forum posts about it. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, I thought it was pretty and scenic and aside from Peebee (Who I thought was incredibly boring) the characters were interesting. Still, to this day its interesting seeing perspectives of it.

The fact that your choice with the Geth didn't matter in Andromeda blows. It would've been cool if a dude quest had two very different versions depending on your choice, or something. You know, something reasonably sized, not like it would change the whole game, but something small would've been nice.
The Aussie was on point.
The gay bar bit is actually so real lol

USS genetic bottleneck made me laugh so hard I woke my neighbours. Haven't seen such good jokes and gags in a while. Keep up the good work!
VOC MENTIONED HELL YEAH
Hot take: I actually want Andromeda 2 to be a thing. Just because the first game failed to meet it's potential doesn't mean it didn't have any. I feel there's enough to springboard off of and even if there was a rocky start, expanding on some of the groundwork that was laid could lead to a good couple games.
top tier
This actually makes me want to give andromeda another go. I played it like I play fallout and just dicked around for like 3 hours and when I found nothing the slightest bit interesting because I wanted to ignore the main quest I quit. Probably not really fair.

The gameplay is fine. The gunplay is actually a blast. I just wish everyone would SHUT UP. Drack and Verta were the only two main cast characters that did not make me either want to fall asleep or drill out my ears. That includes Ryder themselves.
How can you be so fckin funny? ❤

This video is an experinece.
Generic the video game
For me mass effect andromeda, is a genuinely good game, but not a good mass effect game.
Even this video is boring like the actual game , nothing can save mass effect Andromeda
