I just took Mass Effect: Andromeda off pre-order after seeing a game play video.... looks good visually, but game play generic as fuck.

It's Mass Effect. It's your standard 3rd person cover shooter. You don't buy Mass Effect for it's combat you buy it for the story and the universe exploring and interesting races and characters.

Yeah I agree with this, has anyone had a whirl on Halo Wars 2 yet?

It's not just the combat though, it's how everything transverse, it was scan a rock, activate terminal, fight, Scan rock, activate terminal, fight.... in that exact order.

I'm hoping that I'm wrong, but I'm going to wait for player reviews, because as far as official reviews go they can be a bit bias, especially with AAA games, so it'll get 8/10 at the very least.

I remember buying the first one because it was a great RPG from the makers of KOTOR, Jade Empire, Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate. It had both great story and great combat, in which skill choices and XP points made a difference. It's a shame that the combat has become so sterile throughout the series.

Glad I got this already ordered. Can't wait to play Zelda on the Nintendo switch tonight.

Zelda is really making me want to go out and buy a Nintendo switch.
