Mass Effect: Andromenda --New Galaxy Takes A Step Back

The first thing anyone does when they get a new BioWare game is create their character's look. Mass Effect: Andromeda missed the mark on this in a major way. It's so bad, they're fixing it.

I decided I would play with Scott Ryder, who I renamed Jules. There's 12 different hair styles. I didn't/don't like any of them.

This is the example of what I like to call the suck. They're all bad, this is the worst one. WTF is this? When I started, the hair was black. All the styles looked like a blob on the head, so I changed the color to blonde and wow, that's what I got. The worst looking hair I've ever seen.

The animations in the trailers looked off, I was under the impression the

No, I did not. However, the more I saw the shortcut on my desktop the more I wanted to uninstall it. I can not bring myself to play it for another minute. I never got one character in multi-player to max level of 20. I got constant disconnects while dealing with the strike teams. While the strike team and APEX missions can be done by the player, they can also be done by the strike teams you have. Six is the max on those, I did get all six unlocked. Achievement hunting and the last one I got. I also got one strike team to level 20 and had them fail their 55% chance mission three times in a row. Shows how the RNG is not with …show more content…
It needs to have role play in it for one. Picking who to role as, Scott or Sara Ryder and who to romance does not make it a role playing game at all. The first thing you get on the crawl at the beginning of Mass Effect is about the mass effect relays. A group from the Milky Way have left home to venture to a new galaxy. Okay, that's fine and dandy, but what does that have to do with Mass Effect? Nothing, there's no relays in Andromeda, travel is all faster-than-light. And the ship travel in Andromeda is in a first-person view. Really BioWare? Are you making a game in first-person? It smells like a test to me. To see if they can pull it off and if people will like

    In reality, all hair is good hair despite your race and a person’s hair does not particularly define them, but stereotypes have forced even African Americans to think otherwise, along with other races. In the film “Good Hair” produced by Chris Rock he explores the term “good hair” in African American culture, in the form of comedy and a documentary. While visiting multiple hair shows, hair salons and interviewing female and male African American celebrities he learns all about Black hair culture. The film was initially created because his daughter asked him why she didn’t have “good hair”.…

    Video games are arguably even less associated with storytelling than comics are, with some critics believing “that the video-game form is incompatible with traditional concepts of narrative” (Bissel, 93). Where the medium truly excels, however, is with its capacity for immersion. Like how the addition of sound allowed filmgoers to not just watch the action but hear it, “Every new medium that has been invented … has increased the transporting power of narrative” (Rose, 36). Where readers of books and viewers of movies are passive, gamers take an active role in their narratives. In games like Mass Effect this means making key decisions that affect the development of the plot, but in games like Naughty Dog’s Uncharted and The Last of Us, this…

    Chop It All Off Two years ago, I had long, luscious, golden blonde hair that fell down to my waist, and I absolutely hated it. Everyone else seemed to love it, though, so I kept it. I dealt with the static, the lengthy drying time, and the hours of styling that I had dealt with ever since I was little, all because I wanted to be loved and accepted. I wanted to fit into the box of typical girls my age who all had the exact same haircut so that I would be considered “pretty” by the rest of my classmates, but I felt miserable in that box and I didn’t know how to escape.…

    A person’s physical and mental appearance changes as his or her adolescent years develop into adult years. Usually in the early years, parents determine how their offspring physically appears and how the child moves forward with life. Parents; however, do not realize that they are taking away their children’s freedom. As time passes by, children who follow their parents’ every order, slowly build up resentment causing them to take matters into their own hands to prove their independence. A child trying to prove his or her independence does not mean that he or she will entirely be independent from his or her parents, but rather distance himself or herself from the little things.…

    Good hair… What exactly is “good hair”? Kinky, twisty, wavy, or straight—African- American (AA) hair comes in many ways. There is so much spectacle surrounding AA hair. There are hair shows surrounding it, special hair care products, books, and movies that place the spotlight on this unique curly hair.

    Black women in America today are embracing their natural hair like no other time. Although any one race can be considered to have “natural hair”, the phrase is often defined differently in the female African American community. When I look at my hair in the mirror and say that it is “natural” I am stating that it is hair that hasn’t been touched by that “creamy crack” but, rather, replaced with a head full of “nappy hair”. We as black women are making it a point that our hair is beautiful in the way that each hair follicle grows into the various hair textures among us. For many African American women, natural hair is a way to protest society’s expectations of beauty and create a new standard of what it means.…

    The designs first off are a wonder to look at. No two people look the same. Even the skeletons, which normally look nearly identical in most other films, have some sort of different quirk to them with different skull shapes, heights, and some wear clothes while others do not. Living characters all have a gloomy, uptight look to them with a sort of lifeless look to their eyes. The creativity really shines with the dead characters where you can tell the creators had fun coming up with different results of corpses.…

    Back in September we got told about our I.B. project and were given some example ideas. None of them seemed appealing to me, and I thought about what to do, I had so many ideas of what to do and found the one that best suited me which was to create a video game and have people play it around the world. I knew video games from the back of my mind so to create my very own video game and have people play it would be outstanding. Although it did have a flaw, I had no experience in making video games. I had a general idea of what to do but not enough to get me far.…
