Mass Effect: Andromeda is now available to all, so here is a bunch of new PC videos on ultra. The following footage shows what happens shortly after the content proposed to EA Access subscribers. The visuals are a bit more impressive here than on the surface, mainly thanks to the lighting, though even Eos looks better once the sun has fully risen at the end of the mission. You've probably all read the reviews by now, so you know what to expect (a solid shooter that does not do too well when it tries to be an RPG), but after 9 hours playing, we haven't really changed our minds. That being said, the desire to explore uncharted new worlds is appealing enough to make us want to give it a go, which is what most players might do too after all. Let's just hope that the mixed reviews will serve to make the sequel a better RPG with fewer technical hiccups.

Cool game otherwise, though the story is kinda lame.

I honestly prefer to have a hard time and learn to overcome it by learning and re-learning a game's mechanics till I'm great at them than decreasing difficulty. There's nothing wrong with decreasing the difficulty, but to me it just feels like I gave up instead of persisting till I get good enough.
I'm playing through Dead Space 3 right now, and after starting at the Normal difficulty because for some reason I remembered the game was very hard, I got bored at the middle of Chapter 4 - yeah, I was well ahead.
Enemies didn't scare me because their numbers, damage and health weren't something to worry about. This also made the game way, way less scary. But after putting in the Impossible difficulty, the game feels much more scary since every encounter will kill you if you're not careful in spending resources and how you fight.
I'm actually quite enjoying DS3 now, which is crazy since the game itself is not very good, but that tension you get when fighting for your life in a very difficult situation works very well for games like these - Shooters - imho.
