Inquisition gets ate here? I always thought it was alright. This game, is embarrassing though.
Yeesh. So much for progress.
Jesus man
Is the Ashley clip modded, or is that straight from the 360?

I mean, she dosn't look like her model at all, which is a good thing.

Got caught at work laughing with tears in my eyes, could not keep a straight face, it was impossible. Should've used the Lost in Space theme...

Good god the MP looks horrible right?
To be fair the Combat and RPG Systems look pretty great. Almost all the criticism is toward the horrible facial animations and that ridiculous walk.

The thing is that the intention (I assume) was for her to look exactly like her model?
In any case, I like her face too.

That's really embarrassing. Have EA put out a statement about it or are they waiting until after launch as it would impact sales? I think I answered my own question...

On the contrary everyone is saying the MP and the shooting mechanics are best part.

The real Andromeda strain.

Nah, the facials animations do.
Good god the MP looks horrible right?
I honestly appreciate the "Obama not bad" use for the Asari bit, because I think that animation is solid.

That gif looks pretty fun?

A blue Herbert is literally the last thing I thought I would see in this thread. I think that's enough internet for today...

Not laughing anymore, that's just depressing.

That MP gif looks pretty ok, but MP is not the reason I play ME games...

Teaser for the Live Action Mass Effect Andromeda trailer..
Oh my god, I'm dying. Thank you. Also, #TooSoon.
I find it surprising that some journalists are saying they think the writing and general animation is acceptable. The stuff I have witnessed (about 5 hours of gameplay) is enough for me to not want to play it at full price.
I find it surprising that people think the game looks gorgeous, when the game has so much texture/geometry/model pop in.
Just watch Giant Bomb's stream. Driving through a barren desert and tiny bushes just pop-in right in front of you:
This example isn't as bad either, but you can clearly see the middle tires clip through the new Mako. This stuff drives me nuts if there is enough of it--and boy there is plenty.
Yeah I saw that in the PAX Stream thread last week:
Looking through the PAX Stream, I find it kind of disappointing that Bioware didn't account for mesh clipping with the exploration vehicle when using one its primary mechanics:
A five year development cycle is anything but rushed. DA2 and ME3 can be laid at EA's feet for being rushed. But this game, this is all on Bioware.
Go tell that to EA, as they gave the MP team the entire game.
This is NOT Bioware. They literally picked one of their shitty studio and renamed it "Bioware" to fool all of us.

That is an exceedingly kind way of putting it.
The more I see, the angrier I become. The fuck was I thinking putting down CAD $70+ for preordering this game whose fans deserve SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER.
I'm wondering if I'm the only one who is literally just a few clicks away from cancelling the preorders because Bioware are silent about all this and whether these can be fixed with a patch. Truthfully, even then, I'm enabling the practice of and perpetuating the norm of releasing unfinished/unpolished products and having us pay full price for beta testing them before releasing patches.

The 'A' team is probably making EA's equivalent to Destiny or The Division. If they nail that it would probably be far more valuable to EA going forward.
Bioware Montreal was responsible for ME2: Arrival and ME3: Omega. They also have Manveer Heir (ME3) as game designer and they have Mac Walters (ME2-3) as the creative director.

All these gifs made me cancel my ps4 preorder plus I found it was made by the b-team I lost interest. I will wait it drops in price like Dragon Age inquisition in 1 year and is available for $5 on pc.
Please find some new pics I need to laugh more!

That makes it Bioware by proxy, then. They consented to giving this to another team but still slapped their name on it for sales. They own it whether is sells great or poorly. You can't hand off an established IP to a lower tier team, insist your name be marketed as the creator of said game and when all hell breaks loose say, "That's not us!"

You can't patch everything!!!
I agree with what you are saying but at the same time, if the game isn't good, it doesn't matter to me how hard or how many hours a team worked. EA should have held onto the game until it's ready.
You don't sound happy about keeping the pre-order.....
which isn't a good thing to do as it is

I watched a stream last night for 5 hours, and the game is stunning, but the animations are pretty bad. And the gifs are not an exaggeration, they are that bad. Its hard to not put it on anyone but Bioware, I mean 5 years.
However, there are times you will be saying OMG, this is stunning.
Good god the MP looks horrible right?
The gameplay and some of the visuals look great, which is fortunate indeed. I still think I will have fun with the game, as long as it does not break on me or anything.

REMINDER: and that was running on PS360 (not the gifs but the game).
Incredible that ME4, which dropped the last gen tech baggage, cannot and does not look better than DA3.
The Horizon comparisons don't even make any sense. Horizon had moments where the lip syncing didn't match up with the lip movements. If that was all the problems Andromeda had, no sane person would be making a fuss. Except, Andromeda has characters who show nothing in regards to emotion, the facial animations and the eyes look dead, the walking animations are laughable, and there are some very suspect writing throughout. That's not even getting to the random and weird bugs and glitches, and the general lack of polish in comparison.
So yeah, going from Horizon to Andromeda, makes all of the latter game's issues stick out immensely.
Among other things, re-rigging animation in a completed retail game is easy?

holy shit
Yeah I'm sure EA will take the considerable time and expense involved in re-doing a large amount of animations, they're so magnanimous like that.
