That Eurogamer list of the best of 2017 had Sonic Mania, Fortnite, Nioh, Yakuza 0,Persona 5, Nier: Automita, and Horizon Zero Dawn all ranked worse than Mass Effect Andromeda... I'm quite forgiving of Andromeda, but that ain't right.
The reasons Andromeda is garbage because, A, it's buggy as hell, B, it took the best bits of the original trilogy and decided to get rid of them, C, decided to give up on the story midway through, and (or possibly because of) D, had the dev team changed three times during its creation!
Even patched this games is awful but thats what you get with a bunch of young kids developing your game with no experience and also a high ranking racist on the team like Bioware had.
Now are you hierarchically the utmost fan of Ben Potter, or are you a generic fan of the Number 1 that Ben Potter possesses? PLEASE CLARIFY SO I KNOW HOW TO RESPOND.

@@5Andysalive 1 was easy as fuck you could go rush the enemies without any penalty especially if you're a soldier. 2 will murder you if you go rush the enemies .... huh guess mass effect 1 was for people who likes it easy and then hates mass effect 2 cause they keep dying, go figure.
You guys should do a piece of cake where you actively try to get X amount of game breaking glitches in this game in Y amount of time. Let's say like 5 in 25 Min. I'd enjoy that.
Loved the original Mass Effect trilogy for it's characters and story. One of the few games that I played multiple times. As far as ME:A goes, I thought it was average at best. Gameplay was fine, but the story and it's characters I found quite dull. It will be the only ME game that I don't care to play-through again. : /
I remember playing the EA Pass trial of this game. They had to patch in more skin-tones which I think alone highlights the development woes this game underwent.
I was surprised by this, and I have yet to play the amazing series known as "Mass Effect". It is cool you guys are playing a more *recent* game for this. :D Thanks for all the laughs! Especially during that compilation.
I feel the need to post this, an obligatory, "My face is tired." Also, another science fact for everyone, you may know the man with a really deep voice (Rider's father) by another name, a Mr. Eugene Krabs from SpongeBob.
Also known as The Kurgan from Highlander, Surtur from Thor: Ragnarok, or Clancy Brown from real life. The man has the most incredible filmography ever and everyone should look him up
I have no experience with the Mass Effect games, so when I clicked on this video, I thought, "Alright, well, how bad can this game really be?" 15 minutes later, I'm dying to catch my breath, I'm laughing so hard...
@@ThugHunter444 did u play it? I Assume no. U just watched some reviews or cklickbait videos about the unpatched version. Its a decent open world sci fi exploration game and the story isnt even that bad. Its not perfect but it was a fresh new view of the mass effect universe. It didnt deserve that hate. But well the internet is full of retards jumping on every brandwagon without having a clue about the game itself.
game is in the range 7.0 to 7.5...its not that bad...its just it isnt as good as me1 or me2...but lets be honest, after me3 i didnt expect a 9.5 game, EA destroyed bioware
I was expecting Alex Jones to eventually just cave and be like "ya'll are morons, buying my bone broth and ionized silver, I've been exploiting you for money for over a decade, thanks ya rubes"
I'm glad you made a statement because I was definitely ready to go rant on you lol. I 100% agree though, this game No Mans Sky level hype and in the end the game just was crap. >.< Beyond the interesting concept of the story, there was nothing that made me want a second game. Especially when I had to start looking after bases. I mean I get its a game about creating colonies, but I don't REALLY want to maintain them. None the less I 100% completed the game because I am OCD. I really hope they make a new ME series but have the ORIGNIAL Bioware team do it.
There was nowhere near any nms kinda hype. thats complete bollocks. It only got attention when facegate happened. And beyonf facegate mea was actually a decent game. Which goes for ME2 & 3 as well btw. Only 1 was really good. But the "first" bonus is part of that. Funny how in a negative hype like mea, all faults of 1-3 (esp3!) suddenly are forgotten and they are unmittigated masterpieces....
I feel like for future 'big' 'recent' games like this one, it warrants a longer video to represent the scale of the shitness but also to show some redeemable factors
I knew they had some sort of connection with the Empire. As for the game it self, One huge disappointment was the way how you communicated with the new alien races. After the first mission you had instant language translations... and you were buddies with them straight away, they said you weren't, but you totally were.
This entry kinda reminds me of the game I found most disappointing in 2017, Dawn of War III. The only things I really liked were the music and the looting mechanic from the Orks. Same the Necrons never got their moment, but perhaps for the best.
I very much appreciated the 8 minute ad placed in the middle of this video, just telling me about the Titanic II. I wholeheartedly endorse the idea of the creation of a new Titanic, as the last one was an overwhelming success.
Not going to lie, this broke my heart all over again :( I actually heard of the problems before I got around to buying it, so I was able to wait until all the patches came out and my experience was infinitely better for it. Maybe that's why I have much more fondness for it than the poor people that played it on release... I still hold up some hope that they won't abandon the Andromeda galaxy entirely. There was potential there to do something interesting but I worry that the entire location is just too poisoned now :(
EA fucked it up by pushing the launch, so I don't hold it against Bioware for how it was before it was patched. It was a super good game after the patches, and I hate that because of the early impressions and the (imo overblown) negativity that we likely won't get a new ME game, or an expansion to this because the ending left so much room for more story.
@@5Andysalive I had it on PS4 so no modding SAM's mouth shut for me XD I just hated that he'd interrupt npc banter causing the conversation to stop and be lost forever. It's something I greatly appreciated in Uncharted 4 and God of War; if the conversation was interrupted, they'd just restart it at the next available opportunity so you never missed anything.
Always loved the ME Series. Have every collectors edition including this one and have thoroughly adored the games for all 4. To the point where I'm deeply disappointed that this is unlikely to get a sequel. I won't defend the shitty animations and lack of play testing that was obvious in the initial release however I would still highly recommend playing ME:A as a foray into intelligent character design and how to humanize an entire universe of characters. I would however start with ME:A before the original trilogy so that your experience greatly improves as you carry on.
It wasn't a terrible game it actually had quite a few decent ideas but too much filler that made it a bit boring to slog through the dross until you got to the next good bit. It a game which does what every ubisoft game does too add hundreds of hours of generic busy work that rather than adding to the game just gets in the way. Basically its equivalents are the Assassins creed games in London and Paris, ok but not much more than that, which is disappointing rather than objectively terrible.
“Ben next week you will be hunting down...” My heat stopped for a second, I honestly thought that sentence would end with ‘freeman’ and I would’ve been so excited. Hunting bin Ladin is ok though.
its freelancer's story, done dacade later and worse. EA is so bad. poor Bioware getting caught in this madness, but they really should hav eknown before than to associate with seriall studio killer.
The original mass effect series was strong, the dragon age: origins and awakening games were strong, and now you have this new team that shat all over bioware.
Hey Ben and Peter, great to see fellow UK Gamers making great content. Love your Games for W***kers...i mean worst games ever. keep up the great work Big fan of you both 🤘
wasn't this the game that was actually developed quickly in a short period of time because the first year or something of development was spent designing a version of the game they thought in the end was too ambitious?
Jesus Christ some of them look bloody possessed. Companies need to take a page out Nintendo's book. As far as I can tell they still release thoroughly tested games.
This is the only place Mass Effect Andromeda should be. It's shit. It's such a let down. It's awful. It should never have existed. Shame on you, Bioware. It's a really, really beautiful game though, apart from the fucking awful facial animations.
The facial expressions and animations of this game are hilarious!😂😂😂 It's not that worse compared to other games already covered here ( Turning point is a good example.) Anyway, it was funny watching Tiny Peter playing it!😁😂
And that's why it's not that bad; just worse than most; but still pretty bad overall; and as a follow-up to Mass Effect's story as a whole; and literally a cliffhanger type game that ends abruptly; because they canned the DLC story s**t. @@petesmart1983
If I had an electric car, I would add "THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING" as the sound it makes

That Eurogamer list of the best of 2017 had Sonic Mania, Fortnite, Nioh, Yakuza 0,Persona 5, Nier: Automita, and Horizon Zero Dawn all ranked worse than Mass Effect Andromeda... I'm quite forgiving of Andromeda, but that ain't right.
After a patch there was literally this dialogue
"I'm sorry, but my face is tired"
"I'm sorry, but my face is tired, and everyone else is having spastic reactions to their botox injections"
The editing on this episode was absolutely incredible, props to whoever did it
I like how Ben gets so angry at 24:03 that he turns Geordie. It's the accent of rage.
The reasons Andromeda is garbage because, A, it's buggy as hell, B, it took the best bits of the original trilogy and decided to get rid of them, C, decided to give up on the story midway through, and (or possibly because of) D, had the dev team changed three times during its creation!
E)The dev team cared more about how diverse they were
It's not just the wonkiness though. It lacks the heart and soul that made the other Mass Effect games so great. :'(
The running is like doing football drills
"Height: 26 AA Batteries"
please tell me you actually measured this
_please tell me there's video of it_
It said 23 AA batteries, and unless he's a smidge short of four foot tall, they didn't actually measure it, I fear. :-)
Also, were the batteries vertically or horizontally?
d2factotum See, now I'm just disappointed.
I applaud you doing the maths, but I am disappointed at the results.
Cheer up, they definitely measured and put tiny Peter's exact height (1 AAA)
