Did any of the people who complained about the slow start play the first Mass Effect? Anyone who splatted Rats in Candlekeep will know that a slow start ripens the story build to come. If you start the volume at 9/10 where are you going to go next? If the game's story arc delivers, then a slow start is just fine (and possibly even good).

I find it interesting that just because everyone isn't saying "it's 100% perfect" on twitter that all those gaming newsites are making "mixed responses" article about MEA, when the thread here and on neogaf have 90% of the players in EA Access loving the game (not just liking) and the main negative is the CC followed by the animations (which appears to be YMMV a lot). DAI had a worst EA Access reception among the fan base and I don't remember any article about "mixed responses"... You get a lot of this 'forced narrative' stuff with movie reviews too. A movie gets 80% positive reviews but people want to hate on it so they still brand it as 'mixed', but then when a movie they want to do well gets maybe 25% positive reviews, they once again call it 'mixed'. Unfortunately these days it seems to be a human compulsion to want things people are excited about to fail :/ It's a negativity bias thing. Our brain is pretty much hard-wired to pick on negative stuff more than positive - which surely explains why people seem to almost exclusively focus on bad stuff/bad articles about MEA and ignore the good or neutral ones. It also, sadly, explains why our media in general is overran with negative coverage these days...

Particularly to well-known producers and publishers. So if someone actually gives a negative review, that draws attention.

Very much like in news. Journalism is a business too. Especially gaming journalism. Anyhow, that's a quick appreciation and, of course, I could be wrong and the game flops. But it seems highly unlikely. Yes it feels a lot like a click bait.

The level of scrutiny the animations get in MEA is pretty much unprecedented. At least i can't remember the last time a game got so much shit for it, not even Bethesda. I've tried like the first half hour and it's really not that bad and on the level with many other games, even some that are not huge sprawling RPGs, yet they are acting like it's the worst thing ever. Ugh, it's just awful, that mob mentality and pettiness. Oh, well, maybe something good will come out of this and the next game from Bioware will have the best animations ever.

Have faith ... I bet on exceeding 1234 ...
The Sara trailer is (probably) going to drop today (VerySoonTM) ...
Maybe tomorrow (RealSoonTM) ...
Or on the 20th (MonSoonTM) ...
Any of the above will unleash a tSoonami.

Expectations are higher. Here, I blame Bio for the failure to manage them. That, imo, is what happens when you over hype and fail to deliver. I refer mostly to the "polishing" statement. "Scrubbing", to some, is a more suitable word.
Regardless, I still lean toward buying the game.... except I need a hardware upgrade. 8MB of ram simply won't do.

Has the possibility that Sara might be featured in the launch trailer already been discussed? Because although it's disappointing that it's taken them this long, I believe that's it's likely we'll see her then.

Oh, we will see her. I do wonder if Bio, will perform some 'creative" editing to show her off at her best.
