    I have it on my Nvme ssd and load times are like 5 seconds usually, 10 at most.

    Still the longest load time of all my games :snap:

    That is good news about the crafting. I gave up on making stuff in Inquisition, but my compulsive collecting disorder meant I could never stop picking up resources.

    The interrupts in this game seem a lot easier to miss. Seen two so far but I'm worried there were more.

    Spoilers for the First Murderer questline.
    Cool, Tann, thanks for forcing me to decide whether means and intent are the same as actually committing murder.

    Kandros told me after that the murderer's wife left with him and that they could look forward to a hard life out in Andromeda. Cool. Great. Awesome.

    Still, I did like how that questline panned out. Even if there wasn't an easy answer at the end of it.

    I don't understand why
    they couldn't just charge him with attempted murder instead of forcing a MORAL CONUNDRUM on you

    My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

    Ooo, BOY, definitely not liking this main plot so far:

    Major Main Story Spoilers for all of "A Trail of Hope":
    So the kett are...darkspawn? In space? The angara have been fighting them for how long and nobody ever figured out they were doing this? It seems like a shoddy reveal for the sake of a reveal: instead of it just being a "thing" like the Reapers do to make Husks, it was apparently a huge secret only you could uncover!

    Also this moral choice makes exactly 0 sense. Blow it up, or free the trapped angara? Holy hell, why not both? What's preventing me from doing both of those things? Jaal even says it on the mission: "we can come back later and blow it up!" Yes, exactly! What's stopping us (besides a contrived plot reason equal to "attempted murder is not a charge in this space future legal system" I'm sure will prevent me)? Why can't SAM detonate the shield thingy while we're flying away? Is it because I promised the Cardinal I wouldn't blow it up so therefore I can't anymore? I also murdered her but I guess I didn't make any promises on that front.

    Man, maybe it gets better from here, but so far this is pretty bad.

    Liam's cute though.

    Wow, the sandstorm feels like an AR I could really love if it wasn't scoped.

    Given the ranges in the game I could quite happily toggle off ever using a scope for any weapon.

    When you're messing with the colors on the jacket/clothes you have to hit space to actually select it, with no indication there's a button for it at all - escape just flips back to default. Only interface thing that's really bugged me so far.

    Now my casual outfit looks really cool though.

    It's a shame it came out in the middle of a lot of generation defining games.

    Should probably have held it back a couple months for polish once they realized what they're up against.

    I mean it's a completely different beast, so not really. Not that it couldn't use the extra polish but not because of those games. None of those games have much in common besides the open world feel.

    I enjoyed BotW but had a lot of disappointments about it and Horizon did not appeal to me at all. Nier ,if we're counting that is cool, but not even remotely like any of the group so I'm not sure we should count it. If we do, that was more a game I just kinda played to see all of Yoko Taro's wackiness. This though? This is my fucking JAM. This is a game where I'm going to spend some time.

    I didn't say it wasn't gonna work for some people!

    I'm just saying that there's a lack of polish and all the negative buzz as a result combined with the insane number of 9 or 10/10 games out in the span of a month has to be impacting the success of the game.

    Eh, I would imagine the core audience between, say, Horizon and Mass Effect isn't very different.

    Mass Effect ain't a niche title, it's a very popular series with a wide audience.

    There's overlap anywhere but when the overlap requires completely different systems that's already moving into a specific type of gamer and not the more broad audience.

    I'm surprised more people aren't voicing some disappointment with the multiplayer

    the core model is really fun (like weirdly so) it's something we've known since ME3--but that was in spite of how janky it is. and this is basically just as janky, with the same handful of maps and enemy types

    everything related to jumping/height is fun to do but feels and looks bad when trying to navigate around cover, and the melee tracking seems actively worse than ME3 (especially with no over-cover grab?)

    Oh yea. I mean the Horizon overlap is probably bigger but the other ones not so much. Nier is a niche title and Zelda isn't even on the same hardware as the others. I imagine Horizon certainly has the overlap though in the "other big popular game game" category though.

    No heavy melee and no cover grab is throwing me for a loop.

    Though I can see why they dropped the latter since they seem to be going for mobility.

    Also the gamepad buttons for weapon switch and melee really should be switched.

    I like my sticky grenade AR: I hate my sticky grenade AR. It's awesome when I can just plant a LOT of sticky grenades on the ground and watch people walk into them. I hate that it's delayed damage and I wonder if it'd be better if I made a sticky grenade SMG while keeping a regular AR.

    Also, I'm disappointed that the Black Widow 2 isn't one shotting baddies all the time.

    oh yeah! I'd forgotten there were the two strengths until just now, but that's definitely adding to the feeling

    I don't like how the melee feels now at all, it's not snappy or dependable enough as a "light", and it's not satisfying enough to fill the slot of the "heavy"
