Peebee's Loyalty Mission - First 17 min. (IGN) [SPOILERS]

The point was to show off some combat and gameplay mechanics, not spoiling the story. Which is obvious to anyone with a lick of sense.

Well, I guess I'll go against the crowd and actually enjoy what I saw. I thought it looked great. They guy playing obviously had no idea what he was doing (4 heavy weapons which meant cooldowns took forever) but other than that I thought it looked great. I could totally see the other paths I would take, different options in combat, etc. I also realize that it was cut down to avoid spoilers and that it wasn't a whole mission. I didn't even mind PeeBee and SAM stating what to do quickly because I understand that it's a new mechanic in the game, as stated by Mike Gamble, and they wanted to reinforce it. He stated also that it would not be representative of banter in the entire game and that SAM was a lot more talkative than normal.

I thought it looked very tight and fun. Where there a few issues, like Ryder's hand phasing through that thing on her right leg? Sure. Maybe stumbled on nothing once or twice. But I kind of expect that from a game. Nothing will ever move perfectly. I've seen that and worse from Horizon Zero Dawn and The Witcher 3 (or as many here refer to it as, the Second Coming of Christ bringing Orgasms and Billions of Dollars to Everyone) so it doesn't really bother me.

I'm going to have so much fun with this game, regardless of how much some of you hate every. single. little. thing. about. it.

Oh TW3's one hour gameplay trailer is legendary. Still the best game I ever reporderd with the expansion pass.

Most likely? It doesn't exist yet...

This has little to do with showing more of the game though. 
I do think the game will likely have several problems with animations, but that doesn't mean they don't have other footage they can show.
If you meant that they have little footage that is polished and bug free (mostly), then I'd agree with you. Even if they managed to clear most of the glitches, the game clearly wasn't in a glitch free state when the media played it, and most gaming companies release footage that is a few weeks or month old. We need a live gameplay to judge it.

On that note it is obvious the footage of today wasn't going to be glitch free, since it's from when they tried the game.

You aren't against the crowd it's just, as always, some of the people who dislike it feel the need to be heard by everyone time and time again. Because their opinions matter...

I think I'm going to have fun with the game too. This was actually the kind of gameplay i wanted to see before release. Many people aren't that good at shooters 3rd or 1st person. Some even play on casual modes because of it so the ign guy being bad wasn't bothering me too much. Despite criticisms or any negative aspects on the game I'm going to ultimately buy the game and enjoy it for what it's worth 

I just think for some of us seeing a bunch of characters move around a combat-area and shoot things is less than enough to show why this game will be really great to play. This is what was shown of Witcher 3 one year before it shipped:



This is what HZD had



Notice this: Both show off a segment of gameplay, then a conversation tree, perhaps some final moment that makes you go "woah, I wanna see what happens afterwards."

MEA? Every single piece shown has been a random jumbled bunch of gameplay or some incohesive cinematics that don't give the sense of what the actual game-loop feels like when you, for example, take on a quest or main story mission. Dragon Age at least had this which was the first point where I was like "Hey, that looks slightly interesting!"



And I don't know what's up with ME:A in terms of marketing or garnering hype. BioWare keeps showing us stuff and teasers but none of it is actually exciting except for the first time you saw some real combat footage but there's never been that vertical slice demo or showcase of how the game plays. It's all just snippets of almost nothing.

Something evolved from ME3 and something to make it look like an improvement over Inquisition. Also, if it were truly Mass Effect in its DNA, at least ME1 or ME2 it'd have been pushing what was possible in some sort of way. Both ME1 and 2 brought something to gaming I hadn't seen before, where 1 was the conversation system coupled with action and 2 was having a more "real-life" feel to it, making it feel more than an RPG like a really expansive version of Uncharted but with choices and world building and freedom. ME3 was... i dunno, a slight downgrade but at the same time so cool with how it made a bunch of choices culminate, particularly character relationships. ME:A has a blank slate so I assumed that would mean the possibilities were blown wide open to really reshape what Mass Effect can be. Instead it looks like we just get better combat and apparently that's all BioWare wanted to advertise about it because every time they show story or characters it reflects poorly on them because of the bad animations or comparisons to Inquisition.

Since there been such many fears "this is just DAI in space"

Ok can you people explain what exactly makes DAI so bad to me, since i havent played it or any othe Da game for that matter(sorry the world just doesnt intrest me like ME does). As i recall it got good reviews, and one of my friends who has it on his pc says its one of the best games hes played. But to everyone else here it seems to be this abomiunation. Can you explain it to me please?

Huh... depends on what you think a good RPG is. To me, it was a watered down arcade, pseudo offline MMO version of Dragon Age Origins, which - in contrast - was a proper RPG... but that might just be my reason why it was totally forgettable to me. Very pretty, but utterly vapid.

Come on, everyone knows that is Exogeni made Space Velcro^TM !
