Mass Effect Andromeda Skepticism thread

I wanted to say "You're both acting like (pick appropriate swear word here)" and just leave. 

Wow that's not over the top at all, but anyway it's not apples and oranges when it comes to motion capture and combat. Ubisoft did an outstanding job of providing fluid movements of how Sam moves, climbs, and the dexterity is pretty awesome. But the combat design on ME:A is so pathetically made and they're saying that they'll introduce mocap into the game but they didn't. And the story of ME:A is pretty dumb and cliché in my opinion I mean why do people want to fight for a new home for humanity? What's wrong with earth and the colonies they've inhabited? Why do you have to fight indigenous people for a planet that is never yours in the first place? I mean have they not thought this through or they just that dull? Obviously something's wrong with BioWare now.

I found the first 3 hours of TW3 to be so dull I haven't gone any further.

I want to make something clear here, from where I stand on this. I love DAI, not like, love it. it is, in my opinion, the most enjoyable experience so far in the DA franchise, unlike some defenders however, I concede to it's obvious flaws, side content outside of companions is basically nonexistent. The Hissing Wastes is an abomination that should be aborted from the game and our memory. You lack any personality options that aren't "we're all just the bestest fwends!". I personally found the Main Plot Bioware's best main plot since ME1, the last game before EA, this is however only true in my case if you include Trespasser, which I absolutely do.

However, all that said. I don't want to play DAI in Space. I want to play ME. Since ME3 I'm not exactly sure what ME even IS anymore, About 6 years ago I knew what ME was, and what it meant. But now? I've no idea, and I'm concerned if Bioware themselves still don't know the answer, because they sure as hell forgot in ME3. I already know I can't go into Andromeda totally neutral, it's impossible. But I want to give this game a fair chance, but thanks to their embargo, all I have to go on, are the first impressions, and they do not fill me with confidence.

I did as well, but since I collected a few trophies, I decided to complete the game to get the rest of them.

K so still going on about facial animations. The reality is that everyone is NOT Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother and always takes perfect pictures. What I see is everyone taking stills out of a sequence where the toon looks goofy. Well you look goofy 90% of the time too, lol.

You guys remind me of the paparazzi for some sleazy mag trying to find bad pics to say "Just caught Trump snorting dandelion roots".lol
.

Everyone (including all of you) has strained expressions and weird looks and etc. As goofy as some of these are I am just enjoying them. I am not expecting constant romance novel poses or for these guys to always look like its supermodels looking perfect in a photo shoot or on the catwalk. Lol at some of the expectations of this game.

People are complaining because BioWare has regressed in quality control when compared to DA:I and compared to other AAA RPGs using the same engine.

Them both? Dorian doesn't know anything about his family looking for him unless your Inquisitor decides to tell him. If you don't want to get mixed up in his family business, why do that?

Hey, I only mentioned the fighting issue because you brought it up. You wanted the Inquisitor to say "women can fight," and I was pointing out that this is irrelevant.

As for the rest, it's your right to have that opinion, and to have your Inquisitor have that opinion. (Neither Krem nor Bull would care what your Inquisitor thinks, of course.) But getting into an argument with Krem over it strikes me as pointless douchebaggery. Having said that, as a matter of RP DAI should have allowed the Inquisitor to engage in more pointless douchebaggery. But again, this is a general design failure rather than a problem with this particular scene.

As for gender in general, I think it's more useful to use the gender expressed in the brain rather than either genes or external genitalia, and science offers us no useful guidance here. This is just out of pragmatism; it's hard to get access to the genes, and the genitalia are only of interest if I'm actually considering a sexual relationship with the person.

I don't think Bioware ever had a good quality control. It's just that their games are getting bigger, with more content and stuff to control, so the technical problems increased compared to before.

I'm not sure where you're going with that. Krem doesn't just want to be in a unit with men, Krem wants to be accepted as a man. Mixed-gender units are not the point.



Right. But since it is in the mind, we should use what's in the mind. Krem thinks he's a man because his brain tells him he's a man. What point is there in disagreeing?
