The complete version of the first part of that gif

Isn't this one actually pretty good? I haven't played the game nor do i know the context of this but it looks like she says ''I don't know'' and makes an expression that goes with it.

But ignore my observation if she actually says something totally different. :p

I mean like the obvious glitched walking animation with the spread legs or the character disappearing but this one for example I don't see it.

DId you happen to look at this actual scene in video with dialogue on?

What Ryder is expressing with her dreamwoks stiff smile on her face is not matching what is coming out of her mouth. That's one of the main issues here. Dead eyes, stiff smiles, and eyebrows that don't move.

More effort went into making the parody of this game than the in-game animation.

That's not nice. You have no idea how hard it is to animate, least of all hundreds of dialogue sequences. I'm sure the animators worked their asses off to do what they could.

If you want to blame someone blame project management, Bioware's executives, and EA

I did not I just scrolled through the associated gifs. I've been seeing stuff like stiff faces for generations in games now though maybe I'm just too used to it :p.

First of all, it doesn't look like her hand is touching the asari chick when she's pushing her off. Secondly, her movement doesn't match that of someone pushing another person straddling them. You use your whole body for that, especially if you push someone that forcefully. She has no leverage in that motion, it looks like ass because the kinematics of it are completely wrong. Also, the facial animation sucks, as always. And her hair doesn't animate. TR2 on the PS1 had an animated pony tail...

Yeah, I suppose that's a bit mean.
I am sure the team behind this game are very passionate about it, too bad there's just not enough time (and probably resource).

I... Ok. I still don't see it guess I wouldn't make a good animator.

Understandable. Since you are just scrolling through let me show you a gif posted earlier in this thread that summarizes the issues. Notice the difference in lighting, blinking, eyebrow and eye movement, and expressions in this:

This is what Mass Effect Players were expecting. An evolution from the right side.

How about the fact that her face is spazzing out when she's lying down and then the fact that she has a constant blank smile on her face while she gets up.

I am so sorry for those who paid £80 upfront on the digital store for this.

Some of the gameplay looks great. As long as it does not break on me I think I will have some fun with the game. I am fully expecting a mixed bag of many highs and definitely many lows.
 
Someone at BioWare has to be reading this thread right now, wonder how they feel about it.
I hope they are working on some kind of animation patch, the longer they wait the more people will see this game as a big disappointment compare to previous Mass Effect.

It's spreading everywhere, not just on GAF.

They start with this. Next interview they'll say "this one is for the fans".

Ugh god, fuck this PR speak. Want to talk about nice things regarding the game you made? Don't pull a Randy Pitchfork and Colonial Marines all over the fucking place with clear lies about what the better qualities of the game are.
