A little issue that bugs me.

Not really. I was never particularly interested in the gun designs from the start. If they look good, great. If they don't, I doubt I'm really going to notice or pay much attention to it, because I'm gonna be too focused on moving around and trying to kill enemies.

sorry op I have no idea what you are talking about and won't bother me at all

It'd be better if I illustrate with images.

Heres the original Avenger model in ME and 2.



Here it is in in ME3 and Andromeda.







Apolagies for the large images, but they demonstate my point. I know one can say that the original gun scope was pointless as there was only 1 lens, but I always assumed that there was a minature camera at the end of it. Without the scope, the rifle just looks a bit wonky, like the shooter had to better guess where the shot will go without it.

Yet here people complain about wether characters have cringy faces or hair that is too short or too long. This dosn't stray much farther than those do.

Heck, in-universe, I'd think having a functional scope on your weapon is actually rather important.

I don't know as they'd need to return the scope to the Avenger, but it would be a nice touch to add basic sights on guns as one of those attention to detail things.

I never really cared about it in Mass Effect, but it always bothered me in games with real weaponry and had the rear and front sights down or missing.

But then I stopped caring once I started to shoot stuff, unless I was aiming in first person.

I watched/read many of the impressions of the media outlets, and in regards to cover, most of them said that the new automatic cover system was clunky only at first and took some getting used to. Being different =/= negative.

In regards to most of the other things said, it's clear that this game will be buggy and have a lot of technical hangups, but it's also clear that Bioware/EA did not do a very good job of presenting vertical slices to the media--seems like they chose to just dump them into early & mid-game portions without any clue, leaving many of them dumbfounded and lost. Seems like it would've been better to do it like ME2 where they used a significant portion of Thane's recruitment mission as a base for most of the demos, making it easier to flesh out & understand, but perhaps the emphasis of the preview was more on "new exploration & variety." Polygon was actually frustrated that hardly anything was explained when they were shown the second portion mid-game, and it was pretty much "yeah, just go shoot stuff instead."

Well unfortunately I am but a simple console peasant so I can't make use of mods.

Still, nice to know its out there anyway.

Your image for the first one was not loading for me -managed to fix it.
I also wondered where that scope went.

Doesn't bother me at all...I honestly didn't even notice it. Furthermore I can't snipe to save my life....all of my sniper rifles are collecting dust.... ....this is relevant for that scope mod as well.
