    Was Mass Effect: Andromeda ruined by SJWs ?

    I like the Dragon Age series and I've never really been impressed with the animations and such, but this Mass Defect game seems like a really bad mess.

    Looks like they didn't bother polishing things when it came to animations and character faces. They look ugly and creepy.

    I didn't play it and never will. Mass Effect isn't my cup of tea.

    Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    I finally finished the game. It was quite an adventure, but here are my overall thoughts (note; this is the first Zelda game I played from start to finish, and I've only played A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time many years ago):

    Spoiler

    From the beginning to the majority of the game, I really liked the freedom of being able to do whatever you want and how to approach enemy encounters.

    I'm mostly impressed by how you can literally go anywhere and do whatever you want.

    It's a really big world and it's filled with content and stuff to do. From finding Korok Seeds to climbing towers to unlock more of the map was something that was really fun to do.

    The game has many interesting areas and NPCs.

    While the game would be fairly challenging if you're new and/or not good at action games, I found it too easy. Hard mode should've definitely been available at launch, not as DLC.

    I limited myself by setting a rule that Link must only wear the cape and be shirtless (unless absolutely necessary, like in Gerudo and Zora quest).

    It definitely helped me to enjoy the game more since it made the game a bit more challenging, and that made cooking food and elixirs much more meaningful.

    The way the NPCs reacted to Link being shirtless also was quite fun. That's something that really boosted my enjoyment of the game.

    Also, fuck you rainy weather.

     

    Combat and enemies: I really like the combat system, but weapons being able to break made me not want to use my better weapons.

    The bosses for the dungeons were mostly the same and that disappointed me a little.

    The mini bosses were fun to play against, such as the stronger versions of Lynels and figuring out how to beat Modluga, for example.

    The way the enemies could adapt to certain situations also impressed me. I would've liked if certain upgrades for Sheikah tools weren't too powerful, but since you're not forced to use them, it's all good.

     

    Quests and shrines: The game is filled with side quests and stuff to do that makes exploring the world a lot more enjoyable, but I always found the rewards and the ending of the quests boring. It is a lively world for sure, but I didn't feel I accomplished much by finishing side quests.

    The shrines are many and enjoyable, but sometimes too short and easy for my taste.

     

    Story and main quests: They were interesting, but there weren't too many. The Divine Beast dungeons were impressive, except for the bosses.

    The story of the game didn't impress me much, and the cutscenes were quite short.

    I would've liked if there were more meaningful quests, but the massive open world really makes up for it.

    What I'm most disappointed with is the rivalry between Sheikah and Yiga clan. When I first heard about it at the Kakariko Village, I thought there would be more to it than just the Yiga enemies appearing randomly throughout the game (and the Gerudo quest, but even that disappointed me because it was easy and the Sheikah clan wasn't even involved).

     

    Overall, it's the best open world game I've played so far. It's definitely something special, and I hope the DLC will be as good or better.

    I would recommend this game to anyone.

    Now that I've finished the game, it makes me want to play Wind Waker now, which I've actually been planning to play before BotW came out.
