I've only seen the first 5 or so minutes, but there's a point your AI lady friend just stops running, does a 90 degree turn and then runs up some stairs... What the hell happened?

 

[bomma_man]

Mass Effect was a mistake. Space is bad. They should just make Dragon Age games.

Don't mind me. I'm close to finishing Origins for the first time.

If space is bad, then surely generic 99c paperback fantasy is worse?

 

[Xater]

Then when a partner makes a decent game like Titanfall 2, it just gets shitted out right next to one of their few tentpoles and a Call of Duty.

Also depressing.

I assume Respawn's Star Wars game will be handled better though.

Do yall wanna do some cocaine!?

 

[Jintor]

well, i guess i like that mass effect has some space asians in it

pity the writing... and animation... and writing seems god awful

 

[Jothel]

Did they hand animate everything or something? Could they not get any mocap done?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Nutted but she still sucking.

Ryder seems like a garden variety space asshole, too

 

[Hasney]

Ryder seems like a garden variety space asshole, too

Just by being a "space" asshole surely makes him non-garden variety. At least whole foods organic touched by god variety space asshole.

 

[Antiwhippy]

If he's not destroying buildings with a sledgehammer he's not a space asshole.

Man, I've seen better facial animations from SFM artists

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Isn't today when we find out the winner of the Taco Bell wedding?

I have a bad feeling Dan isn't going to win

I see what you did there.

Since Geert Wilders lost yesterday I'm sure good will win today again.

Spoiler

That means Dan loses.

I just saw the last main ending of Nier: Automata. This game you guys....

Seriously, you should play it.

How long didi it take you to reach it?

Around 30 hours I think.

I think FemRyder looks fine.


But every time she moves it's like her skull is made of jelly

She only looks fine if you don't consider the real person she was modeled after. Almost no resemblance. Serious case of dead face though.

 

[BearPawB]

The problem is the eyes more than anything.

They move around really bizarrely and it doesn't feel remotely human like

 

[Zornack]

Everything I've seen of Ryder makes her look like an uncool doofus compared to FemShep.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Actually it's more like they don't move at all.

Like the only thing moving when they talk is their flappy mouth and an occasional blink.

 

[JambiBum]

I don't really mind the writing or the some of the animation stuff in ME so far. The writing in these games has always been hammy and not really something I play them for. As long as it gets the job done that's all I care about. The one issue I do have so far is that some of the voice actors don't really fit their characters but there's one in particular that I really enjoy so far. All I'll say is that he's a salarian. I didn't watch all of the stream so I don't know if he showed up or not

 

[BearPawB]

I played the first mission, and you can play her as having a goofy side.

I actually liked her characterization.

they move around a LOT. Femsheps eyes are constantly darting around her entire skull in what i've played so far

It's like they used goldfish for the face mocap.

I gotta wonder what the mood in Bioware is like. The devs must know how terrible the animation looks. I look forward to reading the behind the scenes story of this thing in a few months/years.

 

[funkystudent]

That just seems like bioware went with a smoking hot model for her then later decided to make her look a bit more normal and less model-y so they just rounded her face a bunch.

Yep

I dunno how this happened. I dunno how so many people can let this go through to a final release.

 

[darkwing-buck]

I'm really happy Alex likes Nier

 

[demidar]

I think the biggest revelation is that a Nier game has good gameplay :V

Good Platinum never fails.

 

[SunDimension24]

It feels like a case of development issues, a new team, and EA saying "you had 5 years to make this, you better release it this fiscal year or there will be consequences".

Well, it probably looked much worse and this is already the improved version.

 

[Meneses]

Can't wait for another F&F tomorrow.

Speaking of which, there's a moving company in Portugal that is heavily "inspired" by the series, so to speak, complete with a Vin Diesel look-alike owner.

The name?

I thought they were holding showing thing back purely for a big marketing blitz, which may still happen, but it seems they held it back as they didn't want people to actually see the goddamn game.

 

[Salarians]

The problem is the eyes more than anything.

They move around really bizarrely and it doesn't feel remotely human like

even ignoring the animations, the eyes themselves don't look good, specifically the whites being too white

and it really stands out because DA:I's eyes looked pretty nice (1 2 3)

 

[Wunder]

Nier looks gooooood

 

[mnz]

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah nier is going to be my May game. That is if I can actually finish persona by then.

I've thought about cramming it in between when I get paid and Persona, but I'll probably get Persona early since it's a Tuesday release giving me one less weekend. Gah.

 

[MontyBrown]

Brad is the biggest ME fanboy there is, so if he doesn't like ME:A, you know it's shit.

 

[VeryGooster]

man I need to get Nier Automata

 

[LiK]

Unless ME:A has an amazing story and combat, it's gonna be forgotten in a week.
