It's true that facial/walking animations aside, along with some other questionable design choices, the game itself is enjoyable. It's not flawless, but if the core was exploration and aw, they certainly nailed it on that front.
Side Note: I like the characters, initially I thought I wouldn't, but they do grow on me. Ryder isn't as aggressive as I'd like though. Having that option would've been nice in relation to dialogue choices. Being sarcastic/bol...
Where as in a perfect world, they would "patch" all the issues in the game. Realistically, if we are lucky, they will address some of the more, I'd think, easier aspects...
The animation may very well be, the animation - and we are going to be stuck with it. However, the clear lack of diversity in the Character Creator, only screams laziness. I managed to make a character I like, but in terms of the male aspects:
1. No beards? What?
2. Why ar...
*Eyes wide open*
All of these look interesting.
Garbage.
I'm not shredding it. I've gotten some genuine laughs out of the animation quality, but otherwise, I'm going to play the game and make my own opinion.
There's zero sense in getting all riled up because people view 7's and 8's as the end of the world.
Whatever floats your boat mate, shouldn't matter.
Aw she's pointing the gun in the right direction. They learn so fast. *Wipes away tear*
We've reached a point where people just love to complain (in some cases justifiably so) but as stated above, the word "downgrade" is being used on practically everything. I cringe when I see an article, or story about a game comparison with that as the topic, and more so, at all the rage filled comments. People feel that it's cool to hate. It's exhausting.
I personally feel like I'll enjoy Andromeda - time will tell. It might not be as good as the ...
With a wide range of reviews, I'm honestly just going to jump into Andromeda, see for myself what I take from it, and leave it at that. I've learned that I can love a game filled with flaws, and I can dislike a game that's technically brilliant.
In the next few days I'll learn where Andromeda falls on that spectrum.
*Jaw slowly descends*
Oh...Oh boy... I am going to do my best and go into this experience with an open mind. I believe in trying something out before I bash with criticism. That said, it will be truly disappointing if the dialogue, characters and overall gameplay, is of the same quality as the glimpses of animations we have seen.
There is no excuse for a professional team of developers, inexperienced or not, to overlook something like a character holding ...
And this went Gold.
Lmao *dead eyes*
Well, I'll still play this. But it'll be for all the wrong reasons.
I'm preparing to approach this game as if it is a comedy.
Side note: I appreciate the insight. If these are indeed the final animations, then it's unfortunate that they will tarnish the name Mass Effect.
As for dialogue and voice acting, that scene certainly doesn't impress.

Thanks.

I agree, I'm not fond of people using it as the reason for the poor animation quality. It's probably the combination of a different engine + a different team. Who comprises of that team shouldn't matter (in the sense of ethnicity, sexual orientation, so forth).
I cringe a little because it's as if people are insinuating they'd be okay with this, if it was all wh...
I keep hearing about the diversity quota. Is there an article on that? I'm just curious.
It's disheartening when there's a comparison from 10 years ago. And it got worse...
Well, the facial animations are downright sad. However, I will still pick this up. Patches can fix animations. Although if the story is bad (and we won't know until we play) then it'll be a sad, unfortunate turn.
Note: The game shouldn't be releasing in the state it is in (from what we have been hearing and have seen). I'm just commenting in general, and in general, I'll still play this and give it a chance.
I may just have a grin, ey...
SIGH
*Face palm*
Clearly if we're learning anything, the game doesn't start off all that well... Sigh. Here's hoping that a patch + the remainder of the game, is better. But that's from an optimistic, lack of hype, point of view.
If this does horrible, it'll be a shame.
That second link made me laugh out loud. I have a feeling Il enjoy the game for all the wrong reasons if that's how the quality control is.
*wipes away a tear*
I hope the story is good. Sigh.
..Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But this game is certainly higher than a 5/10.
