four? nonexistent! Mass Effect: Andromeda game review
The "mass effect" trilogy, which combines the feeling of substitution and fighting, has brought unprecedented success. In 2017, the “mass effect: Andromeda†on the shoulders of giants will continue to carry forward the “mass effect†series of gold characters in previous generations?
Mass Effect Series Review
BioWare
The "Quality Effect" series is a sci-fi theme RPG game series integrated with action shooting elements launched by RPG DreamWorks BioWare in Europe and America. At the same time, the series was developed at the beginning of the production of the game series and will be gradually introduced in the form of trilogy. It is dubbed the Galaxy Opera trilogy by gamers.
Mass Effect Trilogy
The first work of the “mass effect†series was launched in November 2007. The works are sold on both PC and XBOX360. The biggest feature of the game is its integration of two different game types, action shooting and role playing. Together, the outstanding AI artificial intelligence system, the role-free switching design, and the sci-fi weapons and abilities make the overall gaming experience excellent.
"Mass Effect"
The first part tells about the only human elite in the "specters" of the universe's peacekeeping organization, "Spyder," searching for Saren and the Holy Way, and at the end stopped the reaping overlords who attacked God's Fort. One month after the battle between Gods Fortress and Overlord was over, the second generation of the story was started when Shepard’s Normandy was damaged by an unidentified spacecraft.
Familiar protagonist
Mass Effect 2 will take players to the deepest and darkest place of the universe. Players must uncover some very mysterious things. This is a dangerous mission that amounts to a suicide attack, but players have to do it because the fate of the entire human race is in the hands of the player. In the game, players must gather a well-trained combat team and go to the enemy's hinterland for a bloody battle.
Mass Effect 3 interface
"Mass Effect 3" is the third work in the series "Science Effect" of the sci-fi game and is also the third work of this Galaxy Opera trilogy. It tells us that the planet Earth of the hometown of mankind is in danger and is in a remote place. Outside the universe, a terrible group of machines began their task of destroying humans. Commander Sherpad, as a Marine and the only ghost of the human elite, will shoulder the burden of saving the planet. He will seek to unite with all civilizations in the universe against this mysterious alien race.
Mass Effect: Andromeda: What's the story of the start-up?
Mass Effect: Andromeda
On March 21, 2017, the much-anticipated "Mass Effect" trilogy sequel "Quality Effect: Andromeda" was officially released. The arrival of this long-running RPG sci-fi game will irrigate players' hearts and fans. They have to pay for it, and game sales jumped to the European sales charts in one fell swoop.
Still a world view of space
In terms of the storyline, Mass Effect: Andromeda can be said to be a completely independent legendary story that takes place in another time and space. It occurs in the Helios constellation of the Andromeda Galaxy. The player plays the so-called Pathfinder. The explorer made an expedition in search of a new home for mankind. In the process of seeking survival, there will be "wild areas," "cold thugs," and "war-like extraterrestrial races," and encounter various kinds of fighting.
Game exploration
Both in terms of time and space, they are far from the triumph of Schaeffler's trilogy, the commander of Mass Effect. At the same time, the sandboxing of "mass effect: Andromeda" in the shaping of the game world has played down the narrative nature of "Space Opera" itself and has reduced the exploration of the game world.
The highest score of the previous trilogy
This led to the late player's evaluation of "Andromeda" continues to decline. But no matter how "mass effect" series of games not only have a large group of game players willing to pay for it, and the "mass effect" trilogy's great success has long been the follow-up series of works affixed with a best-selling label.
Mass Effect: Andromeda scores significantly lower than previous ones
However, IGN scored only 7.7 for Mass Effect: Andromeda, perhaps because of its "mass effect".
How about the game quality of Andromeda?
If the old player puts aside the plot of his predecessor, he may be able to find different pleasures in this game. Mass Effect: Andromeda is extremely rich in planetary settings and race settings, which is certainly one of the most anticipated selling points for this game. At the same time, the re-creation of the spectacle of the alien world in the game has overturned our imagination. What players will be able to experience is the magnificent future war and the sea of ​​stars ahead. The light in different planets is also different. This mass effect is very perfect.
Preceding bugs BUG (subsequent patches have been fixed)
However, as the so-called "dimple of a thousand miles destroyed by anthills", a detailed question of "Andromeda" made the "mass effect" fans cry and laugh, and the crowds were laughing and laughing, that is, the "face defect" problem. The expression "Facial Mover + Dead Fisheye" has always been played by players. There are also aliens who use guns in the opposite direction to pay tribute to the "optimistic family" and so on. These details are enough for the overseas oil pipelines to become ghosts.
English UI
In addition, the only fly in the ointment is that this game is not yet finished. For gamers who are not familiar with English, minor problems such as menus are still acceptable, but they can't understand the situation of dialogues that are important for substitution. Will allow players who do not understand the story background to discount the gaming experience.
Beautiful picture
Even if the "mass effect: Andromeda" doesn't reach the height of the fans' expectations, the game itself is still a worthy orthodox 3A RPG masterpiece. First, the game screen is very beautiful, and the game built in outer space spectacular, exotic landscape also makes people full of desire to explore; another game against flu and combat experience are better, more optional firearms, combat the effect is better .
game interface
In fact, in addition to facial expressions and bugs, everything else in "Andromeda" has done a great job and you will soon be riddled with various puzzles and extraterrestrial technology on this planet. Especially in terms of game fun, it has been upgraded to a whole new level. The combat and sound effects are even better; weapons and skill systems have also been strengthened unprecedentedly, and individualized combat methods have been created.
The following focuses on the screen and configuration requirements
Frost 3 Engine
Although it is a new story, a new character, and a new setting environment, Mass Effect: Andromeda brings Frost and Frost as its engine. As a standard for the 3A masterpiece, ME's feelings arise spontaneously. Let's take a look at its configuration requirements.
Minimum configuration:
System: 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570 or AMD FX-6350
Memory: 8G
Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB, AMD Radeon 7850 2GB
Hard disk: at least 55GB
DIRECTX: DirectX 11
Recommended configuration:
System: 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD FX-8350
Memory: 16G
Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB, AMD RX 480 4GB
Hard disk: at least 55GB
DIRECTX: DirectX 11
Hard disk space requirements:
A total of 45.4GB is also a very hard-to-eat game, but after seeing the scenery in the game, it will be no wonder that it is so big.
Interpretation of configuration requirements:
I believe we all know after seeing this page.
It is recommended to use GTX1060 graphics card
Still support Windows 7, it is worthy of praise, after all, win7 user base is still very large. CPU, those who fight N years of CPU can only meet the minimum configuration, upgrade is king! Hard disk capacity needs 55GB, and friends who use 120GB SSD should pay attention to their own capacity. As for the most important graphics card, the recommended configuration to go to GTX1060, and the lowest is not talked about, who wants to play games in low quality?
CPU, video card game occupation
With the highest special effects and 4K resolution set game load status, the i7-7700K occupancy rate will float around 35%. Each core load is not uniform, and the final test result can also be seen that the difference between the four threads and the eight threads is not Big.
The GPU has been very evenly in the full state, indicating that the game is fully invoked graphics GPU resources, and the maximum memory is nearly 7GB, explained GTX1080 / GTX1070 such cards to run up effects will not burst memory, but it GTX1060 6GB Just lost it.
As for the picture quality, under the creation of the Frost & Frost 3 engine, the grand space scene and the delicate and incomparable operating interface make people indulge in the worldview of the game. The setting of the highest picture is truly immersive and beautiful.
Different quality comparison
We compare high school low picture quality: mosaics and vegetation in the low screen moment mosaic, pictures and characters are also very blurred. In the middle of the picture, character modeling and mapping are clear, but ambient light and particle effects are very rough.
So the question is, which hardware configuration is suitable for playing the highest quality? Which configuration can meet the demand without upgrading? And can your home computer pull this 3A masterpiece?

Before the test begins, let's take a look at our test platform.

Sotheby's family barrel photo
This time the mass effect evaluation was packaged by Sotec's family, but of course, since we haven't got Sotec's GTX1080Ti yet, we take the public version to make up the hahaha.
Sotheby's current GTX10 series graphics card really do not have to introduce too much, point to open Taobao / Jingdong sales will be able to explain the situation, and their home X-GAMING OC series is worth recommending.
Intel family bucket
Including 7 generation Core i7 / i5 / i3 / Pentium, all series are the highest frequency with K models, with 200-series motherboards can also support Intel upcoming Optane proud Teng memory, this black technology is suitable for chasing new, chasing Fast high-end DIY player options. Intel i7-7700K is currently the strongest game CPU in the market, I believe that running a mass effect is still adequate enough. As for the Pentium and i3 are dual-core and four-threaded, the purpose is to measure how they run quality effect, home Have i3/Pentium players enough to run this game slightly.
â— With Intel i7-7700K & All-in-One N card:
Test Results Comments: In 1080P, set up special effects, as long as the version of 6GB GTX1060 to run smoothly, more GTX1070 card is relatively relaxed, but in the last week 4K like a test of "Ghost Recon" So eat configured .
In the 4K environment, the highest special effects, even GTX1080Ti only 52 frames of performance, can not completely run smoothly, indicating that this "Quality and Benefits: Andromeda" is a generation graphics killer, and the top flagship graphics card is...
â— With GTX1080 & a series of 7-generation Core CPU
As said before, when running "Andromeda", i7-7700K's load is only less than 40%, indicating that its ability to call 8-thread CPU is not strong, from this comparison test can be seen, basically 4 threads Optimization of the game, so if you are 1080P to meet the party, GTX1060 6GB with an i3 is enough to properly play the "mass effect: Andromeda."
PConline Summarizes: The Best Work of Breaking Wires?
Mass Effect: Andromeda
In all fairness, the "mass effect" trilogy, its success lies not only in the screen or character animation, but also in its wonderful story, character interaction, background construction, galaxy exploration. It is because of these game elements that they have harvested loyal fans.
This time out of the trilogy's "mass effect: Andromeda", if you do not consider it to be the background of "mass effect", you will certainly hang around in the real "star of the sea", indulge in its grand cosmology and frost 3 Extreme game atmosphere created by the engine. However, its story is bleak in front of the three surfaces.
Leaving aside the surname of Mass Effect, Andromeda is still worthy of the name of the 3A masterpiece.
At the same time, this game is not yet finished. For gamers who are not familiar with English, minor problems such as menus are still acceptable, but they cannot understand the story of dialogues that are important for the substitutions, and they do not understand stories. The background player discounts the game experience.
In any case, from the perspective of the hardware we are discussing today, the magnificent scene, the perfect optimization, "Andromeda" is still worthy of the name of the 3A masterpiece.
