At this point Mass Effect Andromeda is a hilarious meme. These threads are cracking me up so hard for some reason lol.
I do hope the game is good. I played and loved the first game. This game just feels like a soulless derivation with jank remaining in a jarring new coat of paint. Hope I'm wrong.

This is so jarring and creepy. Different lighting in these two shots and the eyes resemble stickers.
Is this the same character ?
No the first is Ryder he bottom is the dad ?

Honestly, the whole 20 minute intro just looks like video game sci-fi schlock and I find myself laughing through a lot of it.
I guess the writing just didn't work for me.

None of the females or males can relax their arms when standing, none of them.

Cora's idle pose is also super weird
Let's not even talk how her hair makes her face a square.
Let's talk on how, obviously, Bioware is not using motion capture

New engine and new team, they're just reusing the same animations from ME1-3 apparently. I just saw the famous cross-arms-lean-back pose by Ryder and the lean-back on left-leg-with-hanging-arms.
That animation bug you see is also replicated in ME3 if you reload between holstered and non-holstered weaponry.
I fully expect to see the "npc leaning on table and pushing off of it angrily to talk to someone" animation that was also in Mass Effect and SWTOR.
Also.

unpolish and rough technical edges are Bioware trademark.
This is jarring animation and model / shader non sens... Everything must be redone, from idle animation, to walking animation, to facial and lip sync animations...

This thread has been a great laugh on my down times at work, shame on the animations and dialog system really.
Hahahah, i love you GAF. Almost spilled my tea all over the keyboard there lol.
Okay I'm absolutely dead now. Fantastic thread.
It's kind of sad actually. If there was ONE thing Bioware had to fix with the utmost priority, that thing was definitely the animations. And apparently they not only didn't fix them, they reused them and added new, worse ones to boot. Unbelievable.

The textures and shaders on the faces look simplified compared to the preview shots. The eyes now look like low res, flat textures. I don't know what other term you would use for this type of situation. Hopefully the PC port fares better.

So much hyperbolic freak out in one thread.
That one walking animation gif with the gorilla did leave me in stitches though, I'll say that honestly.
People I've talked to over the last couple days playing the game have said it's stunning on both PC and PS4 Pro, so I think a lot of the downgrade thinking might be over blown; guess we'll all know (those in EA/Origin Access) in a few hours!

I think there are other things to worry about in ME:A , but of course I try to be optimistic.ArchedThunder

Looks like she shit herself and is trying to make it to the bathroom without anybody noticing.

Did they lose all their animators and character designers at some point?

Why are their arms so far behind their bodies? It's really starting to seem like this game was made by aliens with only a cursory knowledge of humans and how they look, move and behave.
Maybe that's what ME has been all along. Carefully concealed alien propaganda by a race of extraterrestrial beings that dwell among us in plain sight, posing as videogame developers.
That would certainly explain the way Shepard used to smile.

This game is going to be so much better if you play the game as if it's a comedy and do stupid shit rather than the super serious space adventure they want it to be.
