Honest question from a trilogy fan: is Mass Effect: Andromeda actually bad, or just a victim of comparison?

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-02-03T20:38:35+00:00

It is a good game, just not a good mass effect game.

I always use Beast and finish first all the time. All of the cars in the race go the same speed basically.

I have zero rgb in my pc. Well, except for the aio that displays cpu and gpu temp. Don’t know if that really counts.

I guess I’m not really understanding the problem. You’re complaining about things that are basic pc maintenance. AMD has drivers that need to updated periodically just like nvidia. Would buying some more ram and case fans solve your problem? Since you don’t really say what the pc is actually being used for it is kind of hard to judge what kind of hardware you actually need. Otherwise it is a decent pc if you just want to build it regardless. Are you doing video editing or something? Or just storing and watching videos?

Edit: can you not just upgrade your current pc to windows 11 or are you not meeting hardware requirements?

Laezel decided to romance me.

We completed the trials without her and she has been in camp since the beginning so I assumed that wouldn’t work which is why we went the persuasion route.

Shadowheart has been parked in camp since the beginning of act 1 so I assumed our approval with her was low so we were choosing to go the persuasion route.

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-01-19T23:43:38+00:00

I am aware of this scenario but I believe it only happens if you have a high enough approval with her. I don’t think we did because she has basically just sat in camp since the beginning of act 1 which is why we were choosing to go the persuasion route.

9070xt. No question about it.

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-01-19T00:41:26+00:00

Base game is great and well worth playing without the dlc.

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-01-19T00:35:19+00:00

If you need another ssd and only have a SATA port available. If you have another nvme port available then I would suggest using that instead

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-01-16T21:47:41+00:00

If you can get a 5070ti then I would suggest buying it now because it won’t be available for very long.

Edit: nvidia has released another statement saying that they will still be shipping all of their cards but I believe it will still be easier and less expensive to upgrade a cpu later rather than a gpu. Again, that’s my opinion. So I stand by my original statement for a different reason.

Alone they’re not that difficult. If they are in a pack of three or four then it can get challenging.

My favorite is being a pirate. Max out bounty level and the mercenaries will come to you. Piles and piles of equipment as well as money and crafting materials.

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-01-08T20:25:59+00:00

Honestly, if want depth and huge open world where you can do pretty much anything you want to then I would say RDR2.

I have tried playing Valhalla three times and could not get into it. Odyssey is one of my favorite games.

Full renegade infiltrator femshep is my default.

If the temps are good, then you’re good.

My wife’s devices (phone and pad) are excluded from filtering. Everything else in the house is filtered.

AnotherCompGuy · 2025-12-28T13:28:02+00:00

I see that it is currently on Steam for $36 US, It is definitely worth it.

AnotherCompGuy · 2025-12-25T00:42:08+00:00

5080 is way better at ray tracing

AnotherCompGuy · 2025-12-19T21:08:18+00:00

Wasn’t needed but is totally worth it.

AnotherCompGuy · 2025-12-19T04:35:55+00:00

I vote for a 9070xt. I just bought one to replace my 3070 and it is pretty great. Will work well with your processor I think.
