This animation-gate shit has gotten out of control: it's an RPG with Character Creation: it's always going to be a little jank. True adventurers can look past jank and wonkiness to behold the true heart of an RPG: Story, Characters, Gameplay and Journey. In Mass Effect's case, it also comes with fucking awesome MP too, which is nothing to be sniffed at if you ask me - I'd pay for admission just for ME3 style MP again. Comparing Mass Effect to TW3/Horizon is a bit unfair since they have set protagonists - there are some very janky/crap facial animations/sync in Horizon (trust me, I'm playing it right this minute): Soma and lots of the other characters are shonky as hell...still a great game though. Sure, this character looks like a bag of dicks gone wrong, but hell... I care more about the dialogue choices than if her lips look shitballs or not. This GIF wants to kill me!!

The eyes in this game look like eyes from bronze ancient Greek statues made up from enamel... The statue looks like it has more life...

so Bioware. Ice and Water? Water and Ice? WTF? Yep, it's stupid, but I didn't find it stupid to the point of being funny. I do find it stupid enough to be sad though.

Here's a bit of information for anyone who still had their knickers in a twist about the long-range scanners and how the AI knew about the golden worlds. This just opens more questions than answers - So the Geth can now build Mass Relays? or manipulate 3 mass relays to serve their needs? also, a usual mass relay is rated (at best) in thousands of light-years not 2.5 million light-years.

I feel bad for Sara Ryder. She always gets the brunt of the facial animation complaints, whether the complaints are valid or not. The problem is we've yet to see Scott in those same scenes, so we don't know if it's just her or just the animations. I lean towards the animations, which probably means any custom character will look about the same. But mostly I feel bad because of all the comments I've seen where people thought she was talking and it was actually Peebee, and they found Sara (but actually Peebee) very annoying In hindsight, it would have been better to have Scott in this video to avoid voice confusion. Don't feel bad for Sara Ryder... See's A Freaking Fictional Character!!!

Something else: My worry is the writing, I can live with everything else as long as the writing is good, Sadly I think Bioware's writing has gone downhill the last 10 years.

I do not think it will be good.
As I see it Mass Effect has been constant devolving ever since ME1.
It went from the flawed but promising Mass Effect 1 to the Michael Bay brainless Mass Effect 2 and then the M Night Shyamalan mess that is Mass Effect 3 .. and now it looks like it's gonna take a deeper plunge into 90's power rangers with Mass Effect Andromeda.

One, Two, and Tactics in a bundle. Didn't really want Tactics, but I guess I can check it out. The world though Snow White was in suspended animation..but she was really just playing awesome games.

I have to admit that I got a laugh out of seeing just how cross-eyed Ryder is in the power selection screen.. I now suspect Ashley Williams being the "secret mom"

I thought it was ryder being all cutesy with the robots but the comments make it sound like it was PB... regardless of who it was, i did not like it, as someone else mentioned the dialogue seemed very juvenile. I'm not a fan of instant death mechanics in games either but swimming in lava like its nothing is kind of BS. the facial expressions at the beginning, esp where the shuttle gets hit and jostles the occupants around, look stupid... the problem is the uncanny valley, i think i could handle these animations if they were constant like a movie but seeing cutscenes like this interspersed with normal-looking gameplay graphics kind of freaked me out, took me out of the feel of the game. whenever i see the animations i always want to stop the game and appreciate how technology has developed but then i forget about the actual story going on. main concern... hand holding SAM and mission direction dialogue... this is a loyalty mission not a recruiting mission, presumably this happens after the first couple missions, when you already have a good idea of what the game expects from you... and yet the game is sitting there constantly telling you what it expects from you. Yeah it kind'a reminded me of Halo gameplay - Enter a room, follow instructions, press a button, Shoot enemies ..rinse/repeat ad infinitum.

Please no more Witcher senses, that mechanic needs to die and never come back. I'll go insane if MEA is full of scanning. ...and there is that. Scanning will get old FAST, especially if the game tells you to do it every other minute. Worst part is that it seems like they aren't even using the scanner as part of any kind of puzzles - it's just "scan this and move on" it doesn't add anything to the game from the look of it.

Imagine that for just once an NPC come to you and say: "Hey"
You: "hey..sooo what's wrong Is your father an asshole?"
NPC: "Nope"
You: "hmm did you have a traumatic childhood?"
NPC: "Nope"
You: "Hmm I give up.."
NPC: "Well I know where there is some tech that can really help us in our m..."
You: "Wait wait wait.. you mean to tell me You are proposing a mission centered around the premises of going somewhere to get something beneficial to our mission?"
NPC: "Well yeah ..Yes."
You: "I do not know how to react to that...I feel dizzy"
NPC: "Hey deep breaths sir..breathe breathe"

I'm fine with this - if my squadmates can't die from a shotgun blast to the face in combat they shouldn't have special mortality in cutscenes.
