You can't deny though that the first patch is going to fix a LOT of issues.

Like that goddamned flying ship. Nearly derailed the game for me.

Absolutely...but I'm one of the few people who happens to be fine with Day 1 patches, DLC, etc. Just finished the game and have 96% completion (I'm guessing the other four are the find tasks and since there are absolutely no quest indicators I probably won't finish them). Loved the hell out of this game, and will never understand the hate it has been getting. Too many people are acting like this is Mass Effect 4 rather than the start of a new trilogy with their character connection complaints and whatnot...as far as gameplay, story, and table setting, the game is great. If you go in with a clear mind and not unreal expectations by comparing this against one of the best games of all-time (ME2) and just enjoy the journey, you'll be happy.

I have almost the exact same experience. Beat it over spring break with everything done except the markerless quests. And I've come to almost the exact same conclusion: it's a brilliant game that may have some rough edges, but a wonderful heart.

All they've got to do is give me my Quarians, and I'll be a VERY happy camper.

The Quarian Ark is absolutely going to be DLC. I love games that make you wish you were there after you're done and seriously make you miss the experience, and this one did just that... just like the original trilogy. I think it's partially the lore, but definitely the characters, they start feeling like a family. There are only a few things that have made me feel that way, as far as TV, movies, books, and video games go...and ME is and always will be one. This is just the latest example, and I hope that the unwarranted backlash doesn't kill this franchise, because it is on video game Rushmore for me.

One thing is for sure, even though I'll be well into my 30's, I'll be patiently waiting the next foray into that universe (I guess we can't say galaxy anymore). My brother and i always talk about games/books/movies/TV shows/cartoons that we will make sure we keep for our kids, and the entire ME experience is definitely one of those things.

They may save it for the second game. Which, I will admit, their blatant sequel set-up through SAM pissed me off because I finished those missions WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too early, so that cliffhanger came quick and hard.

And saving games is one thing I wish I'd done when I was younger. I've got to reacquire my favorite PS2 games and a PS2 now. I've been craving Kingdom Hearts 1, Jak and Daxter, the Ratchet and Clank games, and NCAA Baseball.

For sure...I went back and got the KH games on PS2 back in college because some fraternity Brothers didn't believe me that it was a great game (insanely frustrating camera be damned). Definitely a good investment, even though the remaster barrage will probably make it possible for the classics to pop up on every generation back into my entry (SNES was the first one i got a ton of play on in the early 90's).

As far as the sequel set up, I get it. It's frustrating to have so many loose threads with a 60 hour play time...but they are setting up an entire galaxy here lol. The story/lore they were able to build was good (albeit not nearly as substantial as ME1, which is understandable). I'm really interested in the Jaardan/mysterious enemy stuff and if there will be any more tieback to the original galaxy in the next games on top of the audio logs. I'm right there with you on completions though, i got those dates clusters and 100% viability before the final location was even brought up, so that confused me a bit haha. I think they planned that for post-game because normal gamers don't go after completion type stuff before the main questline and we just kind of went out of order,

Are you sure you aren't me? lol

I'll admit, I'd have preferred more games in the Mass Effect Milky Way. But I loved Andromeda, so I'll buy the sequel.

And I'm an Xbox guy, so between the original J&D, R&C, the original SOCOM, and the NCAA Baseball game, I'll be seeking a PS2 even though most of those have been remade all to hell. Shame NCAA Baseball never will be.

Always fun to find someone with similar gameplaying taste lol. The Milky Way would be awesome, a kind of 50-100 years forward type game with an older Liara and Wrex or Shepherd's son/daughter mentee...but with the divergent path ending of ME3, which I still don't have any issue with (but I guess being a fan of anime in my youth made me alright with bittersweet endings), it would be damn near impossible to do a post game without alienating a large portion of your player base, or creating a Fire Emblem style 3-play game, which would be a boondoggle in a AAA type game. Prequel in the Krogan Rebellions or Rachni War would be cool, but then you're removing the humans from the equation, which would inherently make it less playable for most people.

I was just talking about SOCOM with a younger cousin who didn't believe me that there were online games before CoD lol. That game was revolutionary if a little clunky (the third person perspective was a little tough). The games I'll always find myself coming back to every few years or so are FE Path of Radiance, Mega Man X, ME Trilogy (probably going to start my 4th playthrough here once I've completely digested ME:A), Kingdom Hearts (really wouldn't mind KH3 coming out before I retire...), The Witcher series, and The Uncharted Series. Just got an XBoxOne with the Master Chief collection, so I'm excited to check that out again...used to play tye original in HS and Halo 2 with my senior roommate in college, but didn't play the stories since I didn't own an XBox console. I love having plenty of disposable income, a fiance with a similar taste in video games (met since we were both soccer players way back in the day at UC) and no children yet.

SOCOM, Full Spectrum Warrior, and Men of Valor are all combat games that deserve modern remakes.

And you'll LOVE the MC Collection. Halo distilled. It's a thing of beauty. And the Halo 2 revamp is amazing.

As for another Mass Effect game, the human Corsairs would make a great game premise. There's plenty of stuff to explore pre-reapers...

Good call on the Corsairs...They could easily do the first contact war too, although the comics have kind of made that seem a little less significant than what was originally referenced in ME1

I love the upscale button on the original Halo, already pretty crazy to see the work that the redevelopment team did.

Quote:Nintendo Details Many Upcoming First- and Third-Party Games for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS

REDMOND, Wash., April 12, 2017 – This afternoon, Nintendo unveiled new details about the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 and ARMS games for the Nintendo Switch system, as well as Hey! PIKMIN, Ever Oasis and several new Kirby games for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems in a new streamlined format for its long-running series of Nintendo Direct presentations. The video also covered numerous third-party games, including Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition and Disgaea 5 Complete for Nintendo Switch, and Culdcept Revolt for Nintendo 3DS.

“With the recent launch of Nintendo Switch and many fun games coming out for Nintendo 3DS, this is a great time to be a Nintendo fan,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “From action-packed multiplayer games to platformers starring classic characters, no matter your favorite video game genre, Nintendo has you covered.”

To view the Nintendo Direct video in its entirety, visit http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct. Some of the highlights revealed in the video include:

Nintendo Switch
ARMS: One of the biggest features in the upcoming fighting game is the ability to equip two types of customizable ARMS per fighter. These ARMS range from standard gloved ARMS to curved weapons like boomerangs. Each ARM has a special attribute like fire, ice or electricity that activates when delivering a charge punch. As players fight through the game, they will earn in-game currency that can be used to play the ARM Getter, a fun mode in which they can get new ARMS for their fighters. The fast-paced game can be played in 1-v-1 matches or even 2-v-2* for more entertainingly chaotic battles. During the Nintendo Direct presentation, a new character was also revealed: the super-fast, ramen-armed Min Min. ARMS launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch on June 16. In addition, special Neon Yellow Joy-Con controllers and Joy-Con Straps will be released separately on the same day alongside a Joy-Con AA Battery Pack accessory.
Splatoon 2: Salmon Run, a new four-player co-op mode*, is coming to the Splatoon 2 game. By teaming up with friends, players can take a part-time job battling the new Salmonid species, which the Squid Research Lab reports might even be more lethal than the Octarians! When players fall in co-op mode, teammates can revive them by inking them on the battlefield. Splatoon 2 launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch on July 21. In addition, three freshly designed individual amiibo figures for the game – a new Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy and Inkling Squid – will launch on the same day and grant special limited gear in game. By tapping these amiibo (as well as previously released Splatoon series amiibo), the figure’s character will appear in the game and befriend players. Befriend an amiibo character and it will remember favorite weapons, gear, outfits and option settings. This comes in handy when waging Turf War at a friend’s house.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: When the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game launches on April 28, it will do so with more characters, karts and tracks unlocked from the start than any other game in Mario Kart history. Both traditional racing and the newly redesigned battle modes can be played in Local Wireless mode with up to eight players, and in Online** or LAN mode with up to 12 players***. For fans who want to show off their driving skills, Nintendo will be hosting two Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online tournaments in game. More details about these tournaments will be revealed in the future.
Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers: Fans waiting to play this enhanced version of one of the most celebrated fighting games of all time won’t have to wait much longer! The Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers game launches for Nintendo Switch on May 26 and includes all of the classic characters and two new fighters: Evil Ryu and Violent Ken. Additionally, a “Way of the Hado” mode lets players throw HADOKENS with first-person motion controls, while an exciting two-player co-op mode* gives players and a friend one health bar for intense two player vs. CPU matches.
Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition: One of the most popular creation games of all time is coming to the Nintendo Switch console. The fan-favorite Super Mario Mash-Up pack along with new multiplayer play and control options will be included in Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition when it launches in Nintendo eShop on May 11 and in stores at a later date.
Two Sonics, Two Styles: Nintendo Switch is getting two new Sonic games in 2017.

Sonic and a mysterious new ally will rise up when Sonic Forces launches for Nintendo Switch this winter. Sonic Mania launches this summer and features retro 2D graphics and a host of new stages, as well as some classic stages from previous games in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
Project Mekuru (name not final): Players that like multiplayer action games are in for a treat when Project Mekuru launches exclusively in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch this summer. The frantic and fun game finds up to four players battling locally* or online** to flip panels and blow up opponents.
Disgaea 5 Complete: This tactical RPG franchise is beloved by many, and the definitive version of the fifth game, Disgaea 5 Complete, is coming to Nintendo Switch on May 23. Perfect for portable play, this epic RPG will launch with both standard and limited-edition versions. A free demo for the game will launch in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch soon.
NEOGEO Masterpieces: Starting April 13, more NEOGEO classic games like Samurai Showdown IV will be available to purchase in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch. Some future NEOGEO games coming to the system include Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters ’99.
Puyo Puyo Tetris: Two classic puzzle games face off in Puyo Puyo Tetris. The four-player* puzzle mashup game is only a little more than a week away, launching on Nintendo Switch on April 25. For people who want to try before they buy, a free demo for the game is now available.
Monopoly for Nintendo Switch: One of the most famous board games ever is coming to Nintendo Switch. Up to six players can experience the classic game with HD Rumble features and optional shorter sessions when Monopoly for Nintendo Switch launches this fall.
Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition: The gorgeous, award-winning platformer is coming to Nintendo Switch later this year. On Nintendo Switch, an exclusive Kung Foot experience offers a Solo Mode and tournaments for up to eight players*.
THQ Nordic Games: The diesel-punk shoot-’em-up game Sine Mora EX, co-developed by acclaimed studio Grasshopper Manufacture, launches on Nintendo Switch this summer with local co-op and versus* modes. Also coming to Nintendo Switch from THQ Nordic Games is Battle Chasers: Nightwar, an RPG inspired by console classics and based on the Battle Chasers comic book series. Battle Chasers: Nightwar launches with timed exclusivity on Nintendo Switch in late summer.
PAYDAY 2: In this four-player co-op game*, players band together to rise to the top of the criminal world for bigger jobs and better paydays. PAYDAY 2 launches for Nintendo Switch this winter.
NAMCO MUSEUM: Some of the most popular games of all time are coming to Nintendo Switch as part of the NAMCO MUSEUM package. Classic games, including PAC-MAN, GALAGA and SPLATTERHOUSE, as well as multiplayer gems like ROLLING THUNDER, SKYKID and TANK FORCE, can now be played at home or on the go. Players can stop and resume gameplay at any time, and Special Challenge Modes offer ways to test players’ skills. NAMCO MUSEUM launches for Nintendo Switch this summer.
Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star: Featuring playable characters from multiple Fate productions across three distinct narrative perspectives, Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star delivers the series’ most legendary showdown yet. The Nintendo Switch version will come loaded with 35 previously released paid DLC costumes, along with an exclusive new Unshackled Bride outfit. The high-octane action game will launch for Nintendo Switch in North America on July 25.
Nintendo Switch Standalone Dock: The Nintendo Switch standalone dock accessory will be available for purchase starting on May 19. Additional docks are perfect for traveling without having to unplug the main Nintendo Switch setup, as well as switching between TVs in the same house without transporting cords.
Nintendo 3DS
Hey! PIKMIN: The first Pikmin game for Nintendo 3DS finds Captain Olimar embarking on an adventure through lush worlds with his trusted Pikmin by his side. In a new type of Pikmin game, players are tasked with throwing all types of different Pikmin using the touch screen to solve puzzles, overcome challenges and defeat enemies through side-scrolling levels. The Hey! PIKMIN game launches exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on July 28. A new Pikmin amiibo figure will also launch separately on the same day.
Kirby’s 25th Anniversary: To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the adorable Kirby franchise, three new Kirby games are coming to Nintendo 3DS.
Exclusive to Nintendo eShop, Team Kirby Clash Deluxe features four Kirby characters with different powers (Sword Hero, Hammer Lord, Beam Mage or Doctor Healmore) who battle giant enemies together. The free-to-start game launches … today!
In Kirby’s Blowout Blast, players move freely through more than 25 action-packed 3D stages, inhaling enemies and powering up along the way. The game launches exclusively in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS this summer.
Last but certainly not least, a new multiplayer* action game in the Kirby series is coming to Nintendo 3DS this holiday season. More information will be revealed about this game in the future.
Miitopia: Fans have never played an RPG quite like Miitopia. By casting Mii characters in roles across the world of Miitopia, players set off on an adventure to battle enemies, hunt for treasure and open up new areas of the map. The turn-based battles are straight out of an RPG, but allies have a mind of their own. The relationships they build affect their performance in battle. This Nintendo 3DS RPG launches later this year.
Ever Oasis: Grow and expand the world’s last oasis in Ever Oasis, a new action-adventure RPG from Koichi Ishii, the creator of the Mana series. The Ever Oasis game launches exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on June 23. More information about the game will be revealed in the future.
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia DLC: The new Fire Emblem game might take the series back to its roots, but one modern enhancement will help expand the adventure.

NEW as in terms of never known about prior to this date?

NO, not that I recall .... I think that Monopoly game was NEW NEW. I think everything else had had at least a mention since the first Switch Direct in January.

Battlegrounds? From what I've seen, I think it's going to be a game that's much more fun to watch than play (and it is a blast to stream). Much like H1Z1 and Rust, it's an early-aplha build that likely will be incredibly frustrating to play and will never actually be finished.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. I've some friends who play it. Not my cup of tea, but for a Steam Greenlight game, a lot of people have been enjoying it.

I've got it...it's pretty fun. My son likes it a lot. For me, I can play a game or 2 or not and it's fun. Doesn't require a ton of time and not much in the way of building a character up. Fairly repetitive but challenging

PUBG vs H1Z1 is going to be fun to watch
