Just saw that, not sure I’m happy now either.
Theo lore and universe is great though, Hope they do it justice - something as good as andor would do.

I used to browse the galaxy map for ages reading the bios of all the planets. It’s probably my favourite gaming series.
Have you watched the “Gamerpoop vids”? The humour is infantile but whatever I laughed
Picked this up on PC a few weeks ago and as the review says, it has the framework of something incredible, but the gameplay loop gets incredibly repetitive and once you work out the best way to solve each crime, it becomes almost trivial.
So you play the role of a private detective in a city sector in a dystopian noir-punk setting.
Your job is to solve murders & kidnappings along with complete various side missions to raise your social ranking in order to retire to a nicer part of the city.
The unique part about this, is that each city (there are some hand built ones or you can make your own) have around 500 procedural NPC's, each one with a unique name, their own address, job and daily routine along with their own markers like unique fingerprints, handwriting styles etc.
So you approach each crime by being able to investigate the scene, examine the body to establish a time of death, how they died. Even the location of the crime will have clues like fingerprints, a note from the killer, you can check the victims phone to see who they've been calling, get into their email if you can find their computer password to look for clues.
With this info you can do things like hack into local CCTV cameras at the time of the murder to identify suspects near the scene at the time, break into the buildings phone record box, check the ledger of the town black market arms dealer (if you can find them) to see if anyone has bought a weapon the same caliber as the murder weapon (providing they were shot) and even use the local town halls police database to check suspects if you can locate a code to get in.
You use this info to populate your pinboard and ultimately work out who the killer or kidnapper is:
My initial experience with this blew me away, there were so many possibilities, I've barely touched on the amount of different ways you can approach solving these cases. The problem is, that once you work out the path of least resistance, the game starts to become very repetitive and not very challenging.
As a proof of concept though, this is absolutely fantastic and I hope a decent modding community rises up around this, because the potential is there if a bit more variety was added.

Shepard commander.
it’s easily my favourite game series mate, and the writers have got so much stuff to go at for the tv series.
Just hope they do it justice.
Loved that gamerpoop vid too
I should go.
It will be tediously hard at many random places and with mechanics that make you gouge your eyes out and likely full of bugs.
The Slavic way, maybe a 10/10.

Is this on PC/Game Pass?
I got it on Steam (PC)
Don’t think it’s coming to Game Pass.

I might have to check this out. I feel AI in computer games has really stagnated for around 30 years.
I mean sure there have been some improvements but regarding NPC'S it's been really poor. So it's great to hear that this game is starting to push the boundaries in that sense.
Of course graphically games have improved a lot but really if your playing a game like fifa for example, the AI are more or less as stupid as they are now as they were in fifa 97.
I do think there are a lot of possibilities with improved AI for games and it will be interesting to see what kind of games we will see in around 10 years time.

Kind of excited for this, but also very curious what they will doJust saw that, not sure I’m happy now either.

They have the issue of picking a version of Shepard to be cannon, which is hard because a lot of people created there own character
I didn't though, I left it male & default appearance that's who I think Sheppard is, he's on the box art of the first game
Although they have the option of setting a TV series in the ME universe & not telling Sheppard's story, the universe is so Incredibly detailed & interesting there is so much they could do

Yeah, the openness of choice with character could cause them a problem with some fans, especially femshep players if they canonize maleshep. They may already have issues with the new game on that score.
Just hope they do the tv show justice, there’s so much to go at which could also be a problem, too much of a good thing that they arse it up? Some of the people they’ve got on board worry me a little.

Yes, I just want to see the world of Mass Effect brought to life
See places like the Citadel, Omega, & see the races like Batarians, Turians, Krogans, Vorcha etc
Who the actually characters of the show are isn't really that Important to me as long as they are well written enough
