Gosh, I wish in the near future, especially when DA4 drops, we can be like: "Remember MEA's launch day? 'Cuz I don't." After all the therapy we'll have to go through once this is all done we probably literally won't remember it .

Even though I've found my safe heaven when it comes to romance in this game, I gotta admit I still have this tiny bit of hope they'll fix this bs with a patch and make all teammates bi because it's the only truly fair choice. Vocal negativity these days may hurt them more than they think (and I'm not talking about SJW since they're a true minority, I'm talking about all of us - lgbt and straights - normal human beings with logical approach to this issue). It's not like you make a huge game, tons of mistakes, but screw them, next time people won't remember any of it. No. Internet never forgets. Social media never forgets. The stench will go after them forever unless they do something positive about that, proving they actually listen to us.
Equal romances - fail. 50/50 Scott/Sara promo - fail. Launch trailer Scott/Sara - fail. Huge world with tons of planets to visit and on all of them quests, collectables etc - fail. Human squadmates available to romance for both genders (after so many years of begging them) - fail. Animations - fail.
One studio can't fail over the years without any consequences. And simple "sorry" won't be enough. They can't be just sorry for ignoring simple wishes that would make the game more gamey for everyone.
Whatever happened to that Sara trailer anyhow? The game releases in a few hours. Where has it been?

Everything on Gil is online already. Combined with Reyes, he has barely HALF of what Peebee and Cora have. How is this not a reason to feel upset? I played the game without this knowledge and had an enjoyable experience. You all are more than justified in the way you feel. I'm just relaying what I'm somewhat allowed to tell you from my own personal experience since several of you asked about it. Thank you. I know it must be difficult to be in your position. I hope you can recognise the strength of feeling here tonight in the face of a lot of unpleasant news, and in light of the absolute debacle of a marketing campaign (which included several bouts of queerbaiting from various people along the way). None of that is your fault. I hope you don't think we're blaming you for it.

Can't believe I considered skipping class the day this game came out. I suppose I should thank Bio Ware I'm happily gonna go and get myself some education. That's nothing. I booked two fucking weeks off work for this game fml Play DAO and DA2 (even if DA2 has repeatathon dungeons) instead. Much better use of time

Gosh, I wish in the near future, especially when DA4 drops, we can be like: "Remember MEA's launch day? 'Cuz I don't." Speak for yourself. I'm never going to forget this night with this thread. If nothing else, I know I've made new friends throughout this experience. No matter what the ME:A decides to throw (or not throw at us,) I'm thankful for the people here. You remind me why I became a mod, and why I love this crazy bunch of BioWare fans. Even the folks I don't get along with. We're an interesting community and I love it. If I didn't, I wouldn't be here.

Guys, it's literally one hour and 45 minutes away from the US release. Please, try to relax. The marketing is about over, and please don't take your frustrations out on anyone. Breathe. Nope, they still have to release Sara trailer...

Guess it is my fault I can't accept scraps from ME:A devs then. Huh. Guess that's life! silly silly silly me Be nice. BioFan doesn't mean any harm here. He is one of the biggest fans you'll ever meet, and he's not saying, "suck up and deal." He's saying, "I had fun, I hope you will too." He's also empathizing with us here. Sorry, not trying to whiteknight you BioFan , but I don't want anyone to get snarked at for no good reason. TY I'm also limited by a pretty gray embargo, so sticking on the safe side of things.

I apologize if that snark made it sound like it was aimed at BioFan It was honestly just me feeling like a worthless pile of crap thanks to this whole mess. It is my fault I don't have enough confidence in myself, my sexuality, and my life. I wasn't meaning to sound rude to BioFan. Just myself. You're not a worthless piece of crap. It's BioWare that's basically telling you that you are by giving you less content than literally every other player. Don't listen to them.

amoebae † I would absolutely be on board for something like that. Mildly related: I canceled my preorder a few minutes ago. Maybe I'll pick it up if there's a sale and/or some of the more glaring issues are fixed, but as is I can't in good conscience buy and play it on launch. Really hoping we get another AAA space opera RPG in the next ten years; I'd hate it if the original trilogy turned out to be a flash in the pan for the subgenre. It's not a very good game but The Technomancer is a sort-of Mass Effect-esque ARPG in a sci-fi setting. I wouldn't normally recommend it, but considering it's literally not that much buggier or poorly made than Andromeda (lol-ing so hard right) and contains a squad-based M/M romance that is on equal footing with the straight romances, you might want to consider it.

okay but......... it's....... obviously much shinier???? like watching this how someone could make the argument that the two games are graphically comparable.......??? i mean, MEA is obviously inspired by ME1, it makes sense that there are similar frames they could pull. I don't get the animation complaints; I find them consistent with ME animations of the past brought forward where you'd expect them to be in five years, and besides, i'd take a plethora of cutscenes with a few animation bugs over the 1.2 cutscenes Inquisition had any day. I do, obviously, find the romance nonsense appalling. but the toxicity of the Gamergater type out there making fun of the game because the female faces aren't pretty enough.......... that's toxic, and omnipresent, and has definitely impacted the tone of the reception to the game imo. I personally don't find the game bad because female faces aren't pretty enough. I couldn't care less about female faces looking pretty, I'm a gay guy. But I find it bad regardless. I agree with some of reviewers. Not the ones who are "meh, faces aren't pretty" (and tbh I have yet to find any serious review about that coming from a solid source). The ones who are "this game has tons of problems". Yes, it looks shinier. Because it's 2017 and they are trying to pretend that they released an AAA game. It also has huge holes in its plot if you're not a diehard fan of a series and actually like when things have reasons to be as they are and not "just because". Game looks lazy. Very lazy. Same wildlife everywhere. "Hmp, noice spiders on Eos which is a huge radioactive desert. What's next? Riiiight, same spiders on Havarl which is a huge rainforest. Totes how nature works." Game looks like it was cut a few times. It lacks polish. It is not the state released AAA+ game should be in. I've seen near-indies for lesser price (10-20$) and looking almost as good. I've seen 2$ text games which made more sense than some plot of ME:A does. Srsly, game was awesome right until Aya. Were they making Eos and everything was looking good and then all their budget went to adding physics to boobs in sex scenes? I haven't played the game (broke and unemployed with a laptop that can't run the game FTW) so i can't speak to the gameplay. i will say 100% that i've been afraid of inquisition-stylez emptiness and if that's your impression that's really sucky. i DO think that at large the reaction from The Gamers, the ones who talk about SJWs and are half neonazis at this point, has been gross and toxic and has been the largest thing that i've felt has influenced the game. which sucks because there are SO MANY LEGITIMATE COMPLAINTS (representation, aforementioned emptiness) to make. but saying that the ladies are ugly and Sara Ryder looks "autistic" (which makes me want to vomit honestly) is gross no matter what and has colored most of the LOLZ ANIMATION comments i've seen.

I'd say it's a fair bit jankier than Andromeda (and the combat gets really tedious and annoying after a few hours) but I did enjoy the lore, story, characters and the M/M LI is so fucking cute so yeah, I definitely second this recommendation !

Lol at thinking I'm paying 70 bucks for that shit. I mean stilted dialogue isn't particularly new to this series, ME1 definitely comes to mind, but ME3 had its share of pure cringe as well. The fact that's its DA:I in space, which I did like (possibly even more than Origins, heresy yes I know) plus decent looking combat has me interested enough, as well as some latent interest in the plot.

On the subject of there being half the content. Are you sure it's specifically just romance content? or total character content in general?
