Bioware really needs to start showing more gameplay, this is getting ridiculous.

Honestly, fella, chill out and wait for the game. If you're anxious, don't pre order, just wait for the reviews and/or demo and watch some YouTube live streams. It's not your role to defend the game, just wait for it to speak for itself.

I'd personally prefer Bioware to be focusing on final tweaks. I'd guess they may be tweaking elements up to the wall and don't want to release gameplay footage which then is subject to change.

I too would like to see more gameplay footage since this is a game I'll be playing rather than watching on youtube.

That said, the only thing I'm looking to confirm in new gameplay footage is whether they have implemented adequate physics/hit feedback.

If you look at any of the current gameplay videos, enemies barely respond to getting hit. There's one instance where a small humanoid enemy gets hit by biotic charge and just kind of keels over (death animation). No physics. In ME2 you'd send Krogan flying with that move.

DA: I had something of this problem, too.

I haven't followed everything closely but I don't find the marketing that odd?
I mean there's been what 5 /7 videos so far?
The press is on it.
There's some character kit ...
What isn't happening so far is the spamming on Twitter and the romance reveal and the super long demo.(also game convention , but I think we're not in the good season for that?)
But the romance reveal and the long gameplay demo caused backlash during DAI so perhaps they are more careful.

As for gameplay if they do what they did with DAI , meaning a few week before launch let youtuber play a couple of zones ...There's some zone some people might know by heart before getting the game.

Seriously though with Youtube and Twitch , I would wait for at least a month before launch.
If that month is quiet , that would be worrying.

I find the lack of uncut gameplay footage very annoying, I usually go dark this close to a games launch but I can't because I have yet to see actual gameplay.

There you go, a further 2 secs of gameplay for you: 

ye4ah they have I've noticed that too.

Very slick Krogan charge/ground smash (nova?). All three biotic powers on display looked slick. Pull is now a bit like Lash apparently.

I don't get this need for constant information, nor the whole building up of hype.

Maybe I am just old now, but when it comes out it comes out, getting hyped up and tying yourself into incoherent rage or spasms of delirium over it is decidedly odd.

I remember waiting for episode 4 and 5 of LIS to come out - sure it was a 3 or 4 month wait, but in the grand scheme of things? It's nothing. Certainly didn't get apoplectic with rage over the wait.

Back in the good old days you'd only know something had come out when you saw it on the cover of a monthly magazine in a news agent, assuming the shop even sold them. You lot don't know your born

So case in point right here. That's A LOT of dislikes, and check out the comment section. Obviously there are plenty of people frustrated with the marketing too.

This thread has a surprising burst of common sense in it.

I'm okay with them waiting till closer to release to show off the game in detail. Gives them the opportunity to finalize everything and then its fresh in peoples minds when they do show it.
Not sure what good complaining about the marketing is gonna do for you OP. You're either going to buy the game or not, just like everyone else.
Don't like the marketing too bad, they've shown off some of the game, there are quite a few videos to watch if you go back to that ghost riders in the sky video and watch them all up to the latest videos.

In the end I'd rather they wait till things are finalized before they show things off like they did with DAI.

I agree that most of the people who majorly criticize the game seem to be a vocal minority. A trailer comes out and before I even click on the thread I can expect those same ten posters who hate everything to go in and make several long posts criticizing it, and argue with people who don't criticize it, and then go on to criticize the lack of marketing. As if they're not going to look at that and be like 'rabba rabba pile of steaming crap now I'm definitely not buying this game, I know I say that every time but this time it's for reals yo' as well. I really do feel that some people are determined to hate this game, and would prefer to be proven right over how horrible it'll be than for it to be a success. Reasonable criticism is one thing - I've got a few concerns over things I'm not sure I'll like too, and questions I'm hoping get a satisfying answer in game - but when it's all negative all the time, and anyone who dares praise anything is accused of being a rabid fanboy, I stop taking it seriously. And don't even get me started on the SJW blah blah pandering agenda blah crap (fortunately that's mostly absent on these forums).

And frankly, at this point I don't care if those angry people end up loving the game so their shriveled little hearts can grow two sizes too big, or if the game ends up terrible after all so they can feel vindicated and shout 'I told you so!' I want to play it. I'm excited. I'll buy the game even if I see nothing else until release. And I'm 99% sure I'll love it. I'll love it even if the haters hate it. Maybe it won't be perfect. Maybe I'll dislike this or that specific thing. But I know I'll love the overall experience. Just like I did with every Bioware game I've played - even the ones I liked the least.

Personally I think the marketing is fine. Inquisition's marketing was major overkill, and I feel like it gave too much away. And it made the wait feel really really long. If anything I think the ME team made the mistake of revealing those teasers so early. I'd much rather they have not announced anything until less than a year before launch, then spaced stuff out.

The solution is simple: If you're not sure you'll like the game, don't pre-order yet. There's zero benefit to doing so now versus a few days before release. Hell, the Origin access trial starts five days before launch. I'm sure people will post videos sowing off gameplay for you to watch before the trial's up, if all the other marketing we'll surely get over the next 6 weeks, including that longer demo we've been told we'll get from a number of sources, still doesn't satisfy you (somehow I predict it won't). Make your decision then. And in the meantime, quit being such killjoys.
