my friend just pre-ordered this game using my amazon prime account and i feel like i'd be doing him a favor by cancelling his pre-order for him, the gameplay looked janky to me from the start and now im seeing these horrific but hilarious animations, but in the end it's his $60 not mine
You've found yourself in a real moral dilemma. Do you intervene and potentially save your friend from a purchase he may regret, or do you stay hands off any let nature take its course?
You let your friends have access to your Amazon Prime account?
 
when someone says all the goodwill built up by DA Inq is being squandered by ME Andro...

god this one is great

(i'm actually a fan of DAI btw :p just thought it was a funny line considering what most of gaf thinks of it)
 
But who's trash talking him personally?
I haven't made that distinction and I'm not sure why you are. Just respect the man's opinion and go form your own.

Because you said people were "shitting on him", dude, and I don't think it's that serious. I think he's gonna be alright.

I don't think there's anything disrespectful in pointing out how odd his post was, but whatevs. It's all good.

Oh he'll be fine. He's a grown man. I didn't find his post odd at all, but whatever. All good.


Pointing out that he's a fan and generally positive without providing critique isn't disrespectful.
Sure, but that's not what happened. I'm done talking about this though, we'll agree to disagree.

Yeah you did you tried to call CrimsonClaw and me out for that on this very page.
I didn't call you out, you were just asking a question. CrimsonClaw, yes, him I called out. The quote just would't make sense without yours in it too.

Crazy thing is that I think this is the best example of good animation I've seen in the game.

except neither of them react to a gun being fired right next to their faces/heads. Ryder just doesn't seem to care at all.

edit:

whats the context of this scene? what makes it look even worse to me is that the MC has zero reaction to someone drawing a pistol in front of her face

dammit, beaten with the back of a gun.

Well this is what madden has been doing for 10 years as well, people needed to stop giving that game a pass. This stuff is exactly what you see In Madden, to the tee

Madden animation is light years ahead of this game

No way, guys still run thru the stands when they score, they have those exact same bent stiff knees which I'll happily go snd hunt the footage for, it's when players are walking instead of running, the ball will sometimes come out of the qbs hands facing downward... It's all there still.

There's times when the announcing would be totally off and when the play was over he'd still say touchdown even if it wasn't, many many instances.

Im not saying it doesnt have problems, but imo, from what ive seen this game is dramatically worse

Well madden has gotten a bit better because people have bitched alot and im not saying the current madden isn't slightly better than madden used to be, but I'm saying is that mass effect is suffering from issues that plagued madden for the last handful of years. There are times in madden where it's a joke how shoddy it is.

Madden has improved a little but the current madden still has weird commentary at time, stiff bent knees when walking etc...

EA is such a cancer, God I hate that company.

Because you're only seeing the worst part of the game, which are these gifs. Check the Origin Trial thread, there are impressions from people who actually played the game, not looking at gifs. These are glitches and not happening every time.

Ive seen plenty of gameplay footage. Not just the selected gifs in this thread

I know that Take 2/Rockstar are competitors but sometimes a competitor can give out good advice if they are better when it comes to certain things like animations. Bioware should get in touch with them.
 
The MP will probably be the part where they put in the most effort because it will be what makes them the most money via microtransactions...

No the multiplayer is a half-assed jank fest just like single player. And on Xbox one the game crashes when there's too many enemies on a stage with weather effects like the ice base whatever it's called.
 
Can't we all just enjoy the hilarity in these gifs? I love the trilogy and I like this game so far. Thread is great and I hope it keeps going lol

I'm watching Angry Joe stream now. Just the gamplay looks... fucking boring? What the hell? I was so hyped for this game, really need to see reviews.

Just like with Mass Effect 1 and Kotor 1, there is very light action in the first few hours as it's more meant to setup the story of the game and introduce you to all of the mechanics as smoothly as possible. I suggest looking at youtube clips of the multiplayer if you're wanting to know what big fights and lots of action looks like.
 
The weirdest thing about the faces is the total lack of eye reflection. Even the original trilogy on PS360 got this right; the animation in the old games looks relatively robotic by today's standards, but the eyes still have life in them.

Every single human in Andromeda has these weirdly overdefined eyes with zero lighting interacting with them. You can see everyone's irises and pupils in excruciating detail in a way you just do not see in real life, as if they're wooden orbs with details painted on. Adding better specular effects to the eyes would on its own be a massive improvement for this game, even if the animations stayed just as stiff. It's just so off-putting being able to see everyone's eyes like this.

EDIT:

This gif going around illustrates this perfectly. Just like how the relative darkness in Ashley's scene on the right sort of hides the distinction between iris and pupil, the bright lighting in the scene on the left should be blowing out some of the detail. The eyes should have shine.

Ehhhh... I dont know really, none of this stuff is really worse than most of the animations in FFXV so I'm still pumped for this.

Lol, you really wanted to open Pandora's box in this thread didn't you?

Did I hear someone say bad things about FFXV?

I want to join in

There are a lot of things wrong with FFXV, and I do mean a lot. But attention to detail/animations are not one of those things.

I honestly was hoping people would leave Japanese developers out of this thread.

The XB1 MP crashes? Is this true? I was going to buy this game on XB1 primarily for the MP too.
Also, this game has ugly Asari. Thats disappointing.

Should've stuck with Unreal Engine.

God, I hope that's not the case. I only tried single player earlier, I'll be highly disappointed if the MP isn't on point. It was awesome in ME3.
