In denmark the law requires you to log every 500th package Your link to the Danish law stating this, will of course, be forthcoming? I can find plenty of lawyers going public about the use of VPN isn't breaking any Laws. And logging the packages would be up to the VPN service provider anyhow, not the consumer. I'll investigate a link. The main confusion is actually the Danish law is contraddictory with the Europeen court decision. Thus many lawyers may argue VPNs are useable in Danemark because Europeen court is supposed to decide over local court... I would not recommand to any danish person to do so.

French jeuxvideo.com (biggest french online videogame website): 15/20 (7.5/10) Pros: The universe Good balance between colonisation phases andd combat time Good amount of gametime Good multiplayer Tempest feels alive from the inside Breathtaking landscapes Cons: Indoor and face design The characters lack some charisma Too much scanner kiills the scanner Too many bugs and technical issues Choices that are less impactfull than in MET Boring and too long introduction Gameblog(second french biggest) 7/10 Pros: Gigantic universe A good Mass Effect spin off Real exploration is returning The new dialog system Relationships with squadmates Dynamic combat Good multiplayer Very good longevity Cons: Technical aspect of the game is subtier No real ending: Expect a real conclusion in follow up Choices matter less Too few bosses CC is too limited I hope this is usefull to you

Don't forget there are countries where using a VPN even for gaming is forbidden and illegal. Just from the Top of my head: Denmark, Portugal, Norway... Actually the counties i'm 100% sure this is ok to use a VPN for such practice are: Sweden, France and the US... Please check the laws of your country before you use it. Huh? There's nothing illegal about using a vpn in Denmark. In denmark the law requires you to log every 500th package

"My face is tired" = tired face. It is pretty common in French to use "Mon visage est fatiguée" (the translation). No, it is not. Or maybe it is in canadian french, I wouldn't know, but it isn't in regular french, or even in swiss or belgian french. As an aside, visage is a masculine noun, so fatigué, not fatiguée. Edit: nevermind, you corrected it If they are going to use colloquial expressions, they should only use widely known ones, or indicate them as such, as was the case for Liam. I too took that as a jab to the facial animation criticisms As far as i remember, i may have watched ads on tv for creams and make up where "visage fatigué, qui tire, blablabla" was somethin'. But behind that, no french people in France would use that expression in a casual talk.

Any Mass effect character that isn't Jack don't deserve to be courted!
Jack or nothing!
Will be nothing!
Jack! 600 years are nothing, come back to me! Thanks!
Now if i were ready to ditch on Jack and date somebody here i would probably go for Cora. Mostly because in Franch she has the same Voice Actor than Priscilla from The Witcher 3... And Liara from Shadow Breaker. I've a bound with that voice already.

Based on the evidence of what I have seen you can be a combat specialist/biotic master/tech wizard whenever you want to be because of some space magic chip but was this even ever an issue? The class system lent itself to replayability, role-playing and more. To the best of my knowledge, having spent years on the late BSN, no one, whether critics or die hard fans that never criticise, complained that Shepard was "locked" in as a Soldier of Adept. My favourite class was the Engineer, the least popular class of all but never did I think, I cannot wait to biotic charge the next Blue Suns grunt on the next mission and thus I cannot even understand this choice as fan service because as already mentioned, I had never seen anyone complain about having classes. Instead we have a very shaky story about how you can basically do anything and everything you want because of implants that are controlled by some AI. I do not think unlimited freedom was the answer to whatever issues might have arisen with the 6 known classes. Anyway, my 2 cents and I would be very interested in what others think about this. I've one single issue with this: Replayability is less appealing. Beyond that the new system is good.

Impressive CV. Congratz But 2 things: First you've made some work in the electrical department where security and safety has to be top notch, that is granted that money shouldn't be a problem there. Second: This is really what i was talking about. This isn't your dept that would suffer budget cuts. Costumes, actor quality, number of reshoots, script dept etc. At last, this is what i call a "niche business". This isn't a market reacting the same as most. Granted that money and budget are important but TV shows and movies can be associated with art... Art shouldn't be about money but about quality and craftmanship. I am happy you're able to have a work where they let do the best you can on every project you're working on. But in regular business (from services to fridge conception) profit margin comes first. Your business acts more like luxury shops and markets which is good for you but not really relevant for most. Well, I am sorry but I was waiting for this post. You don't know much about TV/film, but I do. The single most expensive department in production, after casting, is electric. We are the target of endless cuts in our budget, some that really make us bend anf stretch to work around. Over 25% of the budget of any movie is spent on lighting. That is why the expression goes like this: "LIGHTS, camera, action!" Glad ii didn't desapoint then So question -honest not cynical- How you manage to maintain the exact same quality of work with 25% cuts on your budget?

My IMDB.I make TV shows and movies, and yes there are budget constraints and and plenty of other limiting factors. Still, the final product has to be the shiniest penny it can be. Not everything is a home run, but the vast majority of projects are run like they want to be a home run when they know it is small potatoes. Cheap, Good, or Fast? Pick two, Good has to be one of them. Impressive CV.

Hmm, interestingly I work in entertainment production, much like Biower and EA. Our end goal, our product, is something we want/NEED to please as many as people as possible, from jump street, or the chance to make a sequel/get a pilot picked up is DOA. Some industries demand better than average work. The rest of you are the ones that accept garbage so easily. Interesting. To please most of them: Yes. To make the best product we can within a budget? Yes. But reality iis you've to compromise because your work is dictated by profit margin. If not? You work in a society that doesn't ccare bout profit or in a niche business where concurence and rivaliity is low. Edit: If i were as condescendant as you are i'ld have tell you that obviously you've no idea how business works and you' probably a low/midddle man doing his best in his department and doing what he is told. Maybe your department aims for excellence where an other one is aiming for profit. But i'm not like you. I'm not trashing others to make me feel special.

That's internet: Giving the opportunity to uneducatedd people to comment on those subjects. I don't know Jack and i'm not educated on matters such as cuisine and physics for exemple. But since i've the internet i say what i believe as fact and make people as ignorant as i am agree with me! Wonderfull A Lead facial animation has to work with a specific tool, a team, budget, deadlines, presure, a game director, a producer, a creative director. He or she may have to compromise so much and rush things so badly... Whatever the qualifications and talent. It seems you guys ignore how it is in real life. I'm surprised. Compagnies are looking for something acceptable or cheap. Not top notch or even good. And don't throw me the witcher 3: Bigger budget, huge downgrade, they cut fees on the world creation and character design (thanks you lovely novelist) fewer important character models (only one mâin face avaiillable for the the hero) and so many patches at launch... Jeeeeez. What costs the most in a videogame development: It's the story and the characters. 2 things the witcher had tje job done for free (thanks the novels once more) so yeah they had more time and budget for facial animations. Be real guys, be real "Be real, the real world is all half-ass, just like the thought that went into this post" What a load of shit. What do you do for a living, that your boss or the execs in your company accept your barely acceptable/just good enough work? I work in what is called an ESN here. We're contractors that sale our devs and directors for companies that doesn't own their own dev teams. Need an internet internet website but can't do it internally? You call us. You want to create a platform where you can advertise your product and sale them? Same. And the focus of my boss isn't to reach 100 % client satisfaction, nor for final user's satisfaction. Our job is to make a 30% profit margin on any given contract with a work good enough to see the client call us again but not perfect to sell this client some patches and support paid hours. That's the truth. BioWare giving us a flawed game is already advertising Andromeda 2 or paid DLC that would improve the game and solve issues we're spoting at the moment. As a corporate my job -thus their job- is to create value, worth and money not to create video games. These aren't indie devs where the only thing they got is their reputation. BioWare -and EA- want to grow and that's logical as a business in our world. A perfect product is stupid and bad for business. A good product with flows makes more sense.

I don't feel like the Witcher3 animation were that better when talking to random peasents. The thing with MEA there's some animations that are really good, but then you have npcs barely animated AND with too wide opened flat eyes AND with a barely detailed face. The witcher never had people looking like smooth android just out of the factory. All of those makes matters worse. There's some scene when main npcs and Ryder are really well animated and some others scene where something just went wrong. Peebee recruitment mission is a mix of really good animations and WTF mixed together. Anyway possible they cut corners because you talk to a lot of aliens and you can't really tell something is wrong with them. Well except for Asari , they all have Dr Lexi face. And some humans use the Ryder presets modified. On a final note in game it did not bother me much or broke mah immersion, you get used to it. Witcher 3's budget is 81 millions Us dollars. Official numbers given by the studio. The price of ME2 and ME3 combined. That being said, Witcher 3 is heavy on reused siituations and characters from the books. Creating characters is the most expensive feature after story writting. Even them cut corners ut got away with it. Every "sex" scene have the same animations (except for the 2 main romances), only one geralt model, no aliens and you barely speak with monsters. And it was bugged. The only difference? Journalists were high on the Witcher when they're not on MEA. Sheeps gonna follow those trends anyways

Let's say their choice of being a young character didn't happen, and Ryder was instead of age with current Ryder's day and had his voice (male Ryder of course) I feel like a more mature and experienced character would do wonders to bring us closer to immersing into Andromeda. No Alec Ryder is so close from Shepard. It's just you telling: "Heh i want to play Shepard but i wanna do it in a sneaky way because i ddon't want people to see i'm regressive and refuse to move forward. Let's play the clone. Any character N7, war hero that saves the day and break new ground anytime he/she opens his/her mouth is a big nono. Or else give us Shepard and admit we're all junkies to cult of personalities in general. We may debate an other character than Ryder could have been better but Alec or any N7 badass: NO

Yes he is. He compared ME:A to ME2 (especially the openiing) andd that's a tiny bit deshonest. It was Shepard's Second installment, he/she dies saving his/her LI (the LI we had chosen and all) Here that's Ryder first Rodeo, we have done nothing yet and we ain't attached to that character. Whatever they could have done it wouldn't have match ME2.

Regardless of whether it eventually turns out to be a decent game or not, this game has been marketed terribly. If the beginning sections of the game are as bad as almost everyone seems to agree they are, then why on earth would you restrict reviewers to talking about them? We live in an age where first impressions sadly matter more than ever, and this game has failed on that score *big time*. For myself... well, I'm still going to play it as I believe in making up my own mind on things. (If I listened to other people's opinions too much, I'd never have played Dragon Age 2 or Dark Souls 2, both of which I love). But this game... it just doesn't seem like its a good game quite frankly. The comparisons to Dragon Age Inquisition are depressing, because I really hated that game, and feel that Bioware are going in entirely the wrong direction. Their games were never about open world exploration, and IMO no game should be about fetch and carry, collecting nonsense. And even as probably the person on this planet who cares the least about graphics etc, the distractingly bad animations and mediocre voice acting, the dreadful looking planet scanning (seriously, why bring this mechanic back, when it was so despised). Its really hard to be optmistic right now, especially as I'm one of those obsessive plastic surgeon style nutcases who fuss about for hours in the CC trying to find the *soul* of my character. I couldn't give a damn about graphics most of the time, but I *need* my chatacter to look exactly right or I just can't engage properly. Because I'm always looking at my character and thinking 'But this isn't my character, it just doesn't look right'. Define everyone please? Like everyone seem to agree? I may have not been clear enough I loved my first 10 hours and i like the writting of the prologue. There! Everyone's out ty

I have never played COD but do you play a specific character and role that you can name throughout the game? And is there character development over the course of the story? If not then its a first person shooter, if there are character development elements then its an RPG. RPGs existed 10-15 years ago but without classes and dialogue choices that necessarily altered the game. That's generally more of a modern thing in relation to RPGs nowadays. I thought the RPG genre was traditionally part of the Dungeons and Dragons table top games (which my nerd ass friends played religiously when I was in high school), which in turn were used as the basis for the earliest RPGs in video games (like Baludur's gate, where creating a character could take HOURS). I could be wrong, of course, and am no expert on the genre, but that is how it seemed to me. I remember those kids spending hours and hours on their characters sheets and skill charts, and then playing through crafted stories. DAO was a a more simplified RPG, but my warden and your warden were totally different...we defined them (within limits). The ME trilogy was an even shallower RPG, but my Julia Shephard who was ruthless and born on earth and had bright red hair and chose DESTRUCT was likely very different from your Shepherd, although there is likely more overlap than the previously mentioned games. In the Witcher and Far Cry, we all play as the same character, although we may make different decisions. That is very far from the traditional DnD role playing and what I would consider RPG video games. It seems like the evolution of the term RPG is completely the opposite of what you are saying. Nowadays, playing a pre-defined character and making a few choices = companies touting the game as an RPG. But I think the old Baldur's gate people, for example, would strongly disagree with that definition. The whole MET support is due to cult of personality. Shepard is wonderfull, perfect, flawless, has all the girls/men he/she wants and saves the galaxy. And you know what? You're Shepard, you're doing all this! This is you being a demi-god praised by all! Congratz kiddo, you're the hero, you rockz. Even Bioware made several joke about this in ME3 (Citadel anybody?) This is what caused the huge ME3 affair. My Shepard died? I died? Nonono my Shepardd has bought a tiny house somewhere living happy with his LI and his four half breed asari kids. This very low on RPG level, especially in ME2 and 3 when you character sheet was a joke (i love those games, heh. Put this gun down ty!) Here, from my 10 hours playing the game, they ain't trying to do the same again. Somehow they believe we've matured and we want to be treaten as adults... hahaha... Foolish... We still want to be the unique spoil child that can do things that nobody can... Not a random Ryder that even has a brother/sister pffft! Everything else is just journalist milking bottom average facial animation for a 2017 game and bugs that happen alot with video games nowadays at release. Core gameplay loop is ok; the macro loop is awesome and it's more than ME2 and 3 combined on a gameplay standpoint. May i do a cynical clap? Please?

Je le deteste mais je suis conciliant en général Je tenterai de le raisonner. En fait Solas est sacrément érudit, et seulement "méchant par obligation", et je ne l'imagine pas ne pas m'écouter. Je ne sais pas. j'ai un vilain sentiment de n'avoir qu'un seul son de cloche et Solas a un sacré background en tant que manipulateur et menteur... Je ne dis pas forcément qu'il ment... je pense qu'il arrange un peu le truc à sa sauce. Maintenant si je le croise à nouveau: Je le fume. Propre et net. Pas de dieu dans un monde où mon inquisiteur est le sheriff.

I'm debating with someone who doesn't know that there is programming in animated movies too... And with an other one that believe more a clickbait article than an official statement... And a last one that link an article written by somebody not exercising his/her freedom of thought. Alright! The famous crew picked by Alec he tells about in his article, supposed to be top notch and all... Well.. They are dead. The Nexus is ran by the lead accountant mate... I don't want to look too agressive with you guys. But check facts before you share them, think on your own and a so called journalist thinking like you isn't right nor honest all the time. Thanks.

-Shakes head-
Ok mate let's dance.
She qualifies. Rofles. Why wouldn't she? She is in the business for long enough. This is... She has the right formation and all. What is wrong?
Facial animation is bad, her work may suck (no proof that is her doing and only hers) but she qualifies. I'm sorry to say heh. Her CV is ok.
now "A Cosplayer With No Video Game Experience was the Lead Facial Animator for Mass Effect: Andromeda"
I enjoy the fact some people fap on clickbait article title. Yay you.

She is doing animations since 2013. What's wrong with you people? Looking at an article, being happy cause it agrees with you and spread blatant supidity and lies? Great Job. And she is doing it only since 2016. The video game had 5 years of dev.... Meh. You suck

Let's see, conversation animations are down to Bethesda levels, the open worlds are okay... I guess? The writing feels disjointed as hell and they use the "Pathfinder" status as an excuse for literally everything - in the trilogy Shepard was at least also referenced for his pre-military service. Ryder becomes Pathfinder because of Nepotism yet has zero experience and nobody fucking questions any of this. It feels like such a by-the-numbers Mass Effect plot but with less detail. You can also easily feel that this ended up being a multi-team effort and 8-10 writers. It's just fucking inconsistent. I'm still enjoying some of it because it's new, it's got Mass Effect vibes and a sense of wonder to some of its exploration but overall I have a feeling this game will be thought of as a huge letdown in a year unless the story suddenly turns out to be amazing, but honestly I'm already seeing signs of Schlerf having left and the remaining writing staff bastardizing his draft... OR my gut-reaction to when his involvement was announced and him being "That Halo 4 writer" was correct because he actually is just a crap writer like I thought when I played Halo 4. The plot is just full of head-scratchers. I got questioned twice as a pathfinder. Plus dig deeper mate, they tell you why they're not fighting you for that position. Even more this nepotism is explaned and justified later on... And all those info are availlable in the 10 hours preview. Just stop being lazy ty. Yeah and give me the piss about writers. Walters is in charge of that project and just for you to know.... He was writer for ME1, Co lead writer on ME2 and lead writer on ME3...
