Bethesda's games are shit, but for now they don't get deserved criticism that BioWare gets. Ideally it will change. Yeah, but they aren't though are they. If they were shit, they would not sell by the bucketload. I personally mentioned them as an example with my last post. I didn't imply anything that you said, I simply made a comparison between popular games that for some reason have the same issue but one gets slammed more than the other. Never get caught up in sales, because they only get these sales due to past products. Diablo 3 is the perfect example of this. The game was not good at all, however, it sold so many copies because it's a 3rd game in a series, no shit it was going to sell. Bethesda is the same, Morrowind and Oblivion were awesome games. Skyrim sells for those reasons (which I still admit it seriously is not a great game at all) and Fallout is the same. It frustrates me because this game is getting slammed when clearly there has been a lot of effort invested into it, and people aren't happy. There seems to be plenty of content which again people like or dislike but I will again say how many other games are just as boring with really nothing to do? I again use Bethesda. Not slamming them but I'm just wanting to stress these Double Standards. It is a fucking joke and not fair.

Then games like FO4 and Skyrim have dreadful facial animations but get a pass? "Oh HAHAHA BETHESDA You've done it again with your buggy mess and horrible character facial animations / writings BUT HERE IS $100 10/10" Double standards. Makes me sick to my stomach. I understand that it's their perspective and the only thing I can understand is the CC issue which I totally understand. But other than that, it's ridiculous. Really? Sick to your stomach. This is still about video games, right? Sick to your stomach? C'mon son. Clearly figure of speech mate.

Funny isn't it. People go on about how they love the plots and writing of Bioware, and it's all about the characters, unlike that immature COD crowd. And yet here we are, endless, endless posts about the animations (at least we've moved on from Sara being ugly) and nothing on the plot, writing or characters. Ho-hum. Then games like FO4 and Skyrim have dreadful facial animations but get a pass? "Oh HAHAHA BETHESDA You've done it again with your buggy mess and horrible character facial animations / writings BUT HERE IS $100 10/10" Double standards. Makes me sick to my stomach. I understand that it's their perspective and the only thing I can understand is the CC issue which I totally understand. But other than that, it's ridiculous.

I might remember wrong, but Charge wasn't viable at level 1 in ME3 either. In ME:A, I found that Vanguard starts to work around level 4, I guess it will be solid around level 8-9. I went with an AR (Mattock) instead of a shotgun to complement the melee weapon. 100% melee won't be viable, there are flying enemies. It was the same for ME2 as well. Higher difficulties you would just get shredded.

AMD Radeon R9 200 Series Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 8.0 GB Am I in trouble? Do you know your exact GPU model? I have an R9 280, and a CPU that I don't think is as good as yours (AMD FX-6300), and the game runs fine for me on mostly medium settings. I do have 16 GB of RAM, but I doubt that is making a huge difference. Thanks for posting, I can never find the exact model and I never know why. It's such a pain in the ass to find.

I believe 5 hours is more than anough to form a proper opinion about a game, not a final one of course, but a reasonable one. Open world or not. I mean, take ME2 for example and think its first 5 hours. God, you could easily tell the greatness of that game. You would alrady have had epic moments like the Normandy blowing up, the Normandy Reborn, meeting characters like Mordin and Aria, the combat was very well defined, etc. Sure, you would only have truly experienced ME2 after completing the Suicide Mission, but you would already know it was a great game. Same with open world games like Red Dead Redemption, GTA V or The Witcher 3. You would enjoy those games the more you played them, but 5 hours in you could already see their overwhelming qualities. The problem I have with the start of your quote is that when you refer to ME2, you are referring to a sequel. A sequel with a story and characters already established which allows it to delve right into the action and continue its story. ME:A has been emphasized so many times that its a brand new story with new characters and lore. This is as much of a remake of ME1 as anything that Bioware has made. So the story is going to take a lot of time to be told whilst gradually showing the player things to do, and by some reviews out there is a huge amount of content. Witcher 3 again was an established game, Witcher 1 on the other hand....took awhile for it to kick in. Again I just want to add that this constant complaint about Face Animations. I'm just unsure what are on earth people are complaining about? Why the double standards? People that loved Fallout and Skyrim for example, a company that makes horrible buggy games with poor face animations gets a pass but this game doesn't? My goodness It's becoming harder and harder to even read people's views. This is just ridiculous.

LinkI think the article makes some good points, particularly on why we all need to calm down. Could not have said this better myself. I personally would love to bring ME1 to this year and just see the posts on it. It would have been a total shit storm. As I've said in another forum, this to me clearly is a much better version of ME1 for many good reasons (new story and journey for example) so the game is going to start slow and progress (just like ME1). I'm super hyped for it because this has serious motivation for the 1st game which I adored. Facial animation argument really needs to just stop. I've played every single Bioware game and in every game the facial animations have been nothing short of hilarious. They have been horrible in every single game. Nothing new here. People will complain and whine about anything and everything and if you try to defend it they take it personal and attack you. What a weird, weird world we live in today.

oh wow, thanks for that link I'll give it a read EDIT: Ok so I just read it. Very interesting read and good to see so many opinions, however, my fear is becoming more and more true. In one way I'm proud of myself for being correct lol but on the other hand I feel so sorry for the players. This game clearly is for me, Chris sums it up here and proves exactly my thoughts; " This is a spiritual successor to the first Mass Effect in many ways, ignoring or undoing many of the ways the original series changed in its sequels. It's an RPG with shooter elements, not a shooter with RPG elements." I adored ME1. Its the first game I played on Xbox. Finished it like jesus 15 or more times? (seriously I did). I loved ME2, yep it was different, still loved it. Never bothered with 3 because once I saw the DLC (for example the Prothean deal) it through me right off and I feared it was going to end bad, then the endings come out. But look that's another story. The point I'm trying to make here, is that Bioware has NOT hidden away from the fact that MEA is its OWN story. There is a reason why it's 600 years into the future. Then with the video releases they were showing with exploring ect clearly they wanted to bring back a ME1 feel but far more enhanced and improved. This right now has me so hyped that It's not funny because I wanted elements from ME2 and even ME3 into MEA and clearly we're getting it. So now there is 100% going to be a split reaction. Players will hate this and others will love it. Very sad that it will be divided, but I'm personally very happy that MEA is going back to it's old roots with ME1 elements. Very, VERY happy. Cannot wait till the 21st!

This review to me, kinda implies that he has some sort of grudge towards the direction of the series? It's full of anger and even levels of disgust? Such a turn of opinion compared to others that are out there that give it far more praise.

I personally never change the presets (never done it for the trilogy) for a game like this I think it's odd to change how the character looks when it's already pre-determined. However, I feel sorry for you guys that have limited tools to create someone you wanted.
I however, want to add, can we change the preset appearance? Apparently, we cannot?
