I could listen to this guy's accent whole day. He also tears the game apart. Well when someone warn everybody that he is unbiased to tell next that the game is the worst possible thing in every aspect I tend to not give him much credit. I respect people saying the game had bad part and the game could be on overall bad experience, but saying it is basically the worst game possible it is beyond stupid. The whole video is "That is awful and that too and that too". The guy talk about 10 minutes about how combat is just staying behind cover and nothing more and how it is the absolute worst thing that happened to video games...yeah sure if there is one thing that is not criticized about the game is its combat. The guy is complaining how the combat is slow (lul) when we see him trying to snipe a guy with a pistol and terrible aim...well duh. At least he did not try with a shotgun Top comment is : "The characters all look like hipsters, metrosexuals and 3rd year gender studies students." Sure seems like a constructive criticism of the game and not the usual "blame SJW who somehow hate the game they do" Not sure if everyone should have an opinion based on that crap. |

I remember seeing a person questioning (and not fully accepting until later results) Ryder being a Pathfinder, but without going into full spoilers, I think there are reasons for why the Pathfinder team accepts the succession and why people on Nexus accept it as well.
The nepotism thing is the thing that seriously bugs me, although from what I saw, it seems that there might be an hidden explanation. Hopefully.
On the letdown, I think you're right in the sense that some people were expecting it to be a sort of masterpiece. While I have overall good expectations, mine where about being a decent/good game, and not more.

While I have overall good expectations, mine where about being a decent/good game, and not more. The problem becomes that you're not formally instated at any point... it's just something your crew says you should be after the opening mission incident and then as soon as you meet people on the nexus you've never seen before they go "It's you, you're the pathfinder!" and down on Eos where people have been busy just being on Eos or scrambling like PeeBee they also go "Woah, you're the pathfinder!!" It is a problem, one you can probably think up headcanons for but it's just one of a few things I've noticed that didn't need to be this bad. The spectre-induction also happened quite fast in ME1 but at least we saw that it happened and in DA:I, there was a similar problem in that you were by no means a candidate to become the Inquisitor until they decide you deserve it after surviving the destruction of Haven, but at least there was also the element of faith. The best headcanon I can come up with so far is that, as you arrive on the nexus everything is in shambles and half the power is gone, and the turian leader Kandros even says that leadership and management positions are busted (EA/BioWare reference lol) so perhaps this is an ok explanation for why Ryder has no ceremony or no bureaucracy to become the Pathfinder but it still doesn't explain how everyone instantly recognizes us as the Pathfinder. |

I don't expect to hear Roger Ebert whenever I check out a game review, lol, but it needs to be more coherent then that guy's presentation for me to pay much attention. |

Oh, yeah, if you mean instantly recognizing you as the Pathfinder, that's not good. Expecially on The worlds. I was simply talking about the specific thing that happens alongside you becoming the Pathfinder that leads the crew to accept you as such, and the situation you described on the Nexus for their acceptance. Those two aren't badly done, but the fact others recognize you so quickly isn't well done. |

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... |

I didn't play Halo 4, but I recall quite a few that were concerned of him as lead writer. He definitely had a role in the story and tone of the game. How much, compared to Walters, we'll never know, regardless of the quality of the game. |

You think it's a trap so you.... walk into it? ...it's a video game Point taken. I didn't make the assumption you did, so I wasn't disappointed the way you were. OOC, I expected that we'd meet the family and that it wasn't a trap, largely because I figured that the writers would want to put some non-Venatori Vints into the game. |

From what I saw in another thread, he also didn't have a good opinion of TW3. Is that true? Yes. He literally says everything that's good and bad in every game he reviews and then says whether he enjoyed it or not. This means that for example despite shitting on FO4 for a good part of video, he eventually said he enjoyed it regardless of the problems. That's not the case with ME:A though. Most of the flak TW3 got from him was for combat, which is valid imo. No...he literally is the worst YT reviewer I've come across, and I've seen plenty of channels. You want to see good structure, sound and world design...ACG Narrative (background), Level design...Superbunnyhop Gameplay mechanics...Mathewmathosis, Mark Brown And I could recommend a ton of others. Mack's "reviews" are that of a child...his "arguments" are one word slurs( it's either boring or he likes it, without actually going in depth), cherry picks only what supports his viewpoint( all modern AAA are casual, dumbed down shit and not to be played by "hardcore gamers" like himself, etc, etc), thinks everything should be designed by what he likes( FPS) and his mind always becomes stuck on a few things which he repeats again and again, ad nauseam, while not covering 95% of the game . Lately he's not even amusing and is starting to sound more like a broken record...take a look at his "analysis" of Horizon, in comparison with other, more methodical and adult reviewers (like ACG). Angry Joe seems like Nobel prize winner in comparison, zero sarcasm. |

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 |

To be fair, that was on modelmayhem.com, and it only has, I think, four levels of experience. Not experienced, Some experience, veteran experience, and very experienced. And all that has to do with modeling, obviously. I don't think that's she's experienced to be the lead of anything out there. But I just wanted to point that out. EDIT : And, I want to point out that I think her botoxed face looks exactly like those facial animations. It's correct! |

-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.

-Shakes head- Let's not. I know you want to defend the fair lady's honor, but it's way too early. There's a notable difference between cartoon animation and video game animation, especially when you're a LEAD facial animator. She qualifies as someone who should be in entry level animation on the project to gain experience, not lead facial animation artist. [ A little clickbaity but it gets to the point and her work is not great. |

Blimey. EA, that hugely successful company, sure does have a lax hiring procedure for such an important position! Thank God random people on the Internet (with no ulterior motive at all) can do better and show the flaws that the entire HR department and management failed to see!
Not only that, she was so useless they let her do her job for years without moving her on! Again, thank God for the Internet!
I'm going to email the HR staff of the multinational engineering company i work for with a link to these people so they can hire (and replace themselves) straight away!

Animation in games isn't that much different from animation in let's say movies. She is qualified and even if that isn't the case, I'd say she did one hell of a job for at least some part of the game, still.
There is also more than one person working on animations, she's just singled out and frankly it's disgusting what some people write.
