Multiple previews mention a myriad of technical and animation issues. Additionally, the video that was just uploaded about how Natalie Dormer is voicing Dr. Lexi has some genuinely appalling animations considering the game is releasing in less than four weeks. Now I'm starting to get concerned again. On one hand, pre-release builds are always going to have problems that will be fixed by the time the product is officially launched, but on the other the release is so close I can't imagine that the press played something that was less than near-final. Yeah this is a genuine concern of mine as well. I can't believe how this is still an issue considering the backlash Bioware received over the animations in one of their first actual gameplay videos featuring Sara. I hope they'll have fixed most of the issues by the time of release, but I'm not so sure this can be fixed in such a short time. |

Based on the response, Andromeda seem to be a solid, average game but nothing game-changing. Almost every single preview speaks highly of the game and is very optimistic, so this amounts to desperately convincing yourself that other people are saying the exact opposite of what they're actually saying. |

PC Gamer have a "hands-on" at: www.pcgamer.com/mass-effect-andromeda-hands-on-bigger-flashier-and-very-familiar/It's not as gushing as I'd have expected from PC Gamer when it comes to BioWare ( they gave DA:2 94%)... Also sounds like BioWare haven't managed to break away from yet another take on the "big bad" story they've been telling since NWN - whether that's a bad thing or not is down to personal opinion I guess - I'd like to have seen something different though. ME:A is heading towards the "buy the deluxe edition in a year or so when it's on offer" category - much as I did with DA:I (which I've still not played yet). |

Almost every single preview speaks highly of the game and is very optimistic, so this amounts to desperately convincing yourself that other people are saying the exact opposite of what they're actually saying. Also almost every preview mentions the animations are disappointing. How can that ever be acceptable for a game which claims to focus on storytelling and character interaction? |

It's the vibe I got and is my opinion. None of the previews that I have read so far indicates anything to the overwhelming positive reaction seen in say Witcher 3 (hate using that game as an example) etc. It is positive but every previewer has mentioned something that is holding it back. If you're going to assume that people are delusional for not getting the same overwhelming positive vibe as you do, maybe we shouldn't go reading the skeptical post from skeptical poster on the skepticism thread? |

"Game journalist" Geoff Keighley made a "journalistic" app called Final Hours of ME3 which is basically a long, interactive article about ME3's development, with in-depth interviews with Casey Hudson, Mac Walters and a couple of other BioWare employees. This image is one of those featured in the app/article/blatant corporate PR. Well, I give them kudos for making it available, considering the obvious ridicule it would get. |

1. Frostbite Engine == few or no mods
2. LGBT contingent complained Fem-shep was too cute in previous games we willl that affect things in Andromeda?
3. Possibly too multi-player dependent
Lucy, I got a bad feeling bout this....

2. I could care less about what any special interest group feels about the looks of a character.
3. Yes!

1. I'll give you that one. But Mass Effect was a pain in the ass to mod from the beginning.
2. Not touching that with a ten foot pole.
3. We've barely seen anything on MP. The little they've told us has been about how it's NOT MP dependent.

Yippee for pathetic worms who want to blame gay people because they don't get a boner from a fictional female character. (Also, Sarah Ryder is lesbian-approved cutie here, so [honk] off.) |

 1) I am liking how the game is looking and moving in the frostbite engine. Lack of modding aside, I think it is a good move from UE3 3) We have seen all of about 7 seconds of multiplayer footage, so I'm not sure how this conclusion could be drawn. A nice, optional integration to the multiplayer side of the game would be a welcome site for me |

Possibly too multi-player dependent Lucy, I got a bad feeling bout this.... What LGBT does have to do with it ? I mean I know all the "Bioware is filled with filthy SJW that hates video games" stuff, but I don't see why (and neither where) a community organised around sexual identity would blame a character for being too cute. Do they want to play and romance unatractive characters ? I just think you mixed SJW and LGBT, saying more about you rather than the game. And Femshep was many thing but not cute. And Mass Effect had a ton of mods, for gun. I remember when andromeda second trailer was released, sara looked "Too hispanic" |

It wasn't leaked.

This image is one of those featured in the app/article/blatant corporate PR. Well, I give them kudos for making it available, considering the obviously ridicule it would get. The sense you get from reading the whole thing is that they 100% expected people to love the endings, that they genuinely thought the open-ended artsy-fartsy conclusion would appeal to their fans. Needless to say, they didn't know their fans as well as they thought they did. |

This has me worried (no spoiler) - from IGN's preview today. "Despite all of that, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the Ryders, and some of the supporting human characters, look a whole lot more like they walked out of The Sims 3, rather than walking out of a game releasing in 2017. Their eyes, eyelashes, and mouths specifically look particularly cartoony, with some awkward dialogue animations." HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE? ITS BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT FOR YEARS!!!  |
