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

Perhaps,but quite honestly the whole thing looked seamless, doesn't look like there's a cut there.

Gotta agree on this one. If Shepard was there, PB wouldn't be so talkative due to multiple face injuries.

But but, she said "ops, sowy :3"... so cute, so quirky!

I'm not going to be like so many of those quick reactionary naysayers over on YouTube, and judge an ENTIRE game based on a small section, of one mission, in the game.

But, that small section of gameplay wasn't great. Just compared Like/Dislike ratio to the other gameplay videos. IGN really done messed this up, especially for the interest in the game.

Again though. Those idiots on YT need some perspective. A brief section of one mission in the game should not be in any way indicative of the entire game and missions.

God sometimes its a joke how childish and ragey gamers act and react.

That stuff got cut out - allegedly.

Most people seeing that will the same, though, that's why it wasn't very wise to release a vid like that in the first place...

Pfff, Shepard lets Jack punch her in the face and we couldn't even do anything about it. 

I would've had a renegade interrupt for Shepard to hit her back.

I'm going to give her a chance, but so far, everything about her I dislike. They are trying way too hard with her, and its only doing the opposite of what I think they are hoping to achieve, and make Peebee the new fan fave?

Yeah.... No.

TBH the only companion in DA:I I liked was Solas, and that's only because of the Obi-Wan/Anakin dynamic he had with my Inquisitor. The rest were meh. There is not really a single character in inquisition with the depth of the characters in DA:O, let alone the principal cast of TW3. There are things in that game that Bioware could learn from. Like did you notice there's a whole different set of animations for Yen before and after you completed her romance quest? Even if it's just in the subtle ways she stands and moves in relation to Geralt to convey more warmth than she does in the first half of the game.

I may finally find out what the people who disliked Liara felt like.

It gets worse when you remember that they could use their suits' ME fields to lower their mass when they jump, making it even easier to jet-pack up there. I tolerate some amount of gameplay gimmicks in my games, but at least make them seem plausible rather than "This obstacle you could get over in real life is blocking you, so fight waves and waves of enemies because we want to pad out this mission!"

Speaking of which, I think there were a few too many Remnant drones to fight here. It could get tedious fast. However, I'll be patient making my final opinion in this regard because they said they turned off music to be more cinematic*, so maybe with some fight music to pump me up and superior combat skills to those shown in the video I'll find it less tedious.

*Can't believe they think it would be more cinematic without music. Like... do they know why stories have soundtracks, or...?

Other than that:

I agree with others who have stated there is way too much hand-holding for a mission that should be well past the tutorial stage. Not ideal.

And I dislike Peebee even more now. Not just her cringy banter, but the fact that she lures you into her dorm/escape pod just to jettison it onto a hostile world that she knows full well Kallo doesn't think he can retrieve you from, all for selfish reasons. What the hell?

Yes, I have a big problem with someone who so casually risks other people's lives for her own gain. If this was something she did on a mission with pretty much no danger, it could be seen as funny. But onto a freaking lava planet where even from the cutscene it doesn't look like they should have survived at all, and there's a 50% chance of landing in lava? Nope.

Now, I can live with Ryder keeping a cool, level head and dealing with the present problem, I really hope there is a conversation after this mission where you can get very angry at her for doing that. Or kick her off the ship permanently, since she basically volunteered for that anyway

Ugh. Wish they showed someone else's mission, but at the same time, it might be better not to since I'll likely enjoy them more.

I'm disappointed we still haven't really seen much of the dialogue wheel. In fact, we've only seen it once.

As for gameplay, it looked okay, but was hard to judge since I had the urge to grab a controller and take over from the demo-er the whole time

Lastly, something people will probably yell at me for for being "minor", but it's completely unimmersive for me: At one point, Peebee says "Voila!" In case people are unfamiliar, that's a French word and in this context it basically means "There we go!" or "Got it!".

I find this unimmersive and am once again disappointed because the devs need to remember their own lore, in this case about translators in Mass Effect. Peebee, or Garrus, or Wrex, etc. are not speaking English. They're speaking in their own languages that are then translated. So there is no instance in which we should be hearing a French word come out of Peebee's mouth, because the program would translate whatever she said in an asari language into the closest English approximation. Even if she was literally speaking French, the translator would just translate that, too.

I don't actually like being this negative, but I didn't find a lot in this video to get excited about, sadly. Show us dialogue!
