I'd say it has more to do with the colossal shitstorm happening with Andromeda.
I wouldn't define it that colossal. There are plenty of positive opinions of both the early access and previewers. In any case, it seems the embargo is about allowing streaming of those with review copies of later parts of the game, maybe to address some of the issues of the early parts.
Uhhh....is that a good idea? I can easily see this backfiring on them. Easily. In fact I expect more gifs to be popping up over the weekend if they do this.

Depends. The animations of the game are clearly not something that the later parts are going to improve, or at least, it's highly unlikely. But the first hours were criticized by some for other reasons, so they probably thought of fighting the early impressions by showing how the game progresses and that (hopefully) gets better. While if might backfire, the reasoning behind the move is that they're confident the game is good enough to turn things around. Otherwise they'd have left things like they were. We'll see how things turn out.
Oh I can assure you, I've been taking my sweet time with everything, talking to crew, exploring Nexus and Tempest and with almost 1,5h in cc as well and I'm above 10% too. So it's really weird because I just got on Eos and really didn't do much
the last thing I did was meeting Peebee with none side quests on Eos made.
so I think it's really strange that this early in the game (at least this is how it looks like to me) I've got over 10% of the game finished (I'm not exactly sure on the number, but last time I checked before landing on Eos I was at 10% so I'd guess now it's just a bit more than that)
I was also wondering about this. Considering that there was only the intro, a bit of crit path, and some side quests on the Nexus, it was a bit surprising to see that I had around 11% already finished.
I guess this might hint at the length of the main quest.
The completion % is most probably tied to achievements (maybe only story ones though). It was the case in DAO for example.

They'll be popping anyhow - at this point this has become a meme and will stay one, whether it's fair or not. Heck, today I stumbled upon at least two videos that tried so hard to make it seem like every face in MEA is deformed and worth of derision, it would be sad to look if it wasn't so absurd.

Fabrice Condominas @faburisu No one knows Andromeda's butts better than @autumnbreezed She spent hours, days, weeks making sure they could shake and move properly.

I know nothing about marketing but it seems like a good idea to me.
Most of the memes and gifs making fun of the animations I've seen appear to be using the same ones over and over again. I don't think it's as bad as many are making it. The majority of feedback I've read about the actual characters, gameplay, story etc. are very positive. Should probrably get those reviews out as soon as possible.
Michael Gamble @gamblemike Cool. Most of you who played EA access have been digging the game. You've also given us some good feedback too. You're wonderful. Really.

Those weeks would have been better spent giving us a half-way decent CC or fixing the stupid lips on characters when they talk or doing something about the dead doll eyes. But nooooo. Butts. Butts have to be the priority.

None of these things are the job of an animator.
I'm sorry, animators don't work on facial animations or textures or shading? Ok. Guess I was wrong!

Not textures, not shading. As for facial animations, you said the lips movements and that's done via an algorithm, but it could also be a face rig issue (which would be an animator issue to fix I guess...but it was in DAI too, see Mother Giselle, so it might be an issue in the engine too).
Steve Dwayne @stevedwayneds3 Please any chance to patch in quick save+allow saving on priority missions? Really frustrating to lose 20+ min of exploration
Michael Gamble @gamblemike We are totally looking at it. It won't be day 1, but its something we are investigating
- Is that an issue on the PC or just consoles?
Both I'm pretty sure. I'm on pc and it won't let me save during "priority missions." I'm sure the same can be said for consoles. It's not an issue (like a bug/glitch) considering they put the explanation in the game. It seemed intentional. Regardless glad they are looking into it. This is probably my biggest concern that I fear will actually damage my experience with this game. I love saving and keeping track of my progress. the autosaves just aren't enough imo.
What was the explanation?
I'm also curious as to whether autosave can be turned off. Managing my own saves is a thing for me, and I always configure software to not autosave.
I get it. I used to play a lot with the super nintendo on the 90's, so i appreciate how far games have come.
Complaints about animations? Depends on your starting point.
Hey, look, it's Addison. In 4K.
i really like pathfinder's setting but i REALLY don't like how focused on min/maxing the rules are. it's designed from the ground up by and for min/maxer's and autists. the rest of us normies have to play on crayon eater difficulty just to hit a target. j00t Fires Of Heaven www.firesofheaven.org/
Why is Fryda credited higher than Tom, I wonder. As someone who works in the entertainment industry, order of credit appearance is something that is fought for. Often with blood.
