Obviously. The whole last minute polishing when they found out the facial animations are getting criticized says it all, really. The already established need for a day one patch because the game simply hasn't been polished sufficiently is a huge red flag that this game is being rushed. Day one patches are entirely usual, that's not a red-flag. Bugs in the Review Build need dealing with, and we understand many have. So-called 'derp face' is entirely non-critical as far as I'm concerned, particularly as we can customize. EA Access is going to answer so many questions, as it will involve more people than a beta ever could. I can understand that a patch may be needed to deal with a couple of bugs or issues which come up in the latest stages of building a game, no argument there. But to finish off your animations with a day one patch rather than them being a part of the main game to begin with is an issue in my opinion. I can't understand how proper animations, not just for default Sara but also for Scott as well as a couple of NPC's (e.g. Kalinda, who was laughable in terms of animations), are something that are included in a day one patch. I agree with your assessment that the trial will be key in finding out whether or not the game is in a good state, but there have been very few signs that this is the case, regardless of the potential reach of the trial.

Yes the agony. Oh the agony. I am conflicted so it must be AAAAAAAAAGONYYYYYYYYY! I have concerns, they are valid. Now I have to reassess those concerns against my faith in this game. That isn't a switch. This entire thread has been a process in me understanding whether or not I keep my pre-order or not. It was $68 actually but yes it does matter, I only allot myself a certain amount of video game purchases a year. I use to spend way too much. Throw $80 away. That is a case of exceptionally good beer. That is a case of Ballast Point Victory At Sea. Go learn the value of money. $80 for a case of beer???? Good God. Yeah I know, like I said "exceptional." I've spent $80 on a case maybe 4 times. It's a lot of money to spend on a beer. But it is a hell of a lot less than just throwing $80 away. I don't think that I will feel like MEA was throwing my money away but if the reason for the TT cancel was because of network issues that is going to be shitty.

Not sure why they cancelled it, maybe they just didn't think it would be popular. If anything I blame EA's marketing or lack there off. I think the most I've ever spent on beer was like 18$ for a 12 pack.

Mine too I don't care for multiplayer and don't plan on touching it. I'll touch it once just to see what it's like but that'll probably be it. I'm kind of burnt out on online multiplayer games tbh. That was all I played during my college years and at this point I'm kind of over it. Yeah I gave ME3MP a go once was put off it after about 5 minutes didn't really enjoy the exprience at all. But to be fair I buy Bioware's games for their singleplayer experiences not the multiplayer. I may give MP a go at some stage but it's not my priority and I can't see it becoming one.

Do you really think $80 is worth agonizing over? You've bought it. You've played it for 5 min. You hated it. You went on the net and ranted your soul out for a couple of days. Done. It's 80$. You can afford tossing it into trash once a year. But if you don't buy it on day one, you'd be trolling internet trying to peel the petals from that daisy from now till you buy it anyway. Or do you have something else to play for a year that is truly engaging enough that you are never going to look, and pick it up on sale? If yes, just go do it. Buy it in March 2018. It will be cheaper then regardless of how good or bad it is, plus will include a DLC or two. If I had anything I was burning to play this coming year, I'd wait. but I only have the hots for Andromeda. Witcher? No, thanks. Numenoria? It's Obsidian, wait till they patch it, then wait a year till they *really* patch it or go broke again. Horizon? Don't have PS4, and would not for a couple of years. And that's that for 2017. If 1 million people do this, that's $80 million that EABioware earned for making a garbo game, and they learn that they can continue to make garbo games in the future. Or they will fly high again. NWN1 was the worst game they have ever made, but then they found their feet, and delivered with Jade Empire, KOTOR, SWTOR, MET and DA franchises. Nose-diving and burning up every time did not teach Obsidian a thing. Every time they scrap cash to put themselves back together they make exact same darn game with exact same things that did not work for them in the past. I frigging love BioWARE. Andromeda will end up being an experimental failure like NWN1? I'll leave it be and check out the new IP. If both won't deliver, I will stop playing new games for a few years again. Big deal. Life's on, and all that.

I don't understand your issue. If your trust is so breached, just cancel your pre-order. It's not like you can't buy the game after getting reviews, notably from the MP subforum on the state of the MP... I'm pretty sure some of our resident MPers will give an assessement here on day one already. Living in Europe, I'll have to wait until the 23rd before I can get my hands on the game, but I'm certainly going to roam around the MP subforum until then, and learn about any problem undiscovered.
Edit: typos and such

Edit: typos and such It's all good know, no worries. I got concerned because multiplayer was my safety net. That even if the story sucks (unlikely) that I will still have multiplayer. I hadn't had to consider if this game was worth the risk in pre-ordering because of my belief in that. I want to get my hands on this game and the fact that my safety net was showing fraying caused concern. A completely reasonable reaction.

I want to get my hands on this game and the fact that my safety net was showing fraying caused concern. A completely reasonable reaction. I'm getting early access and will use it almost exclusively for MP. Myself and others will upload lots of gameplay footage and you'll be able to judge for yourself. Since I'm a kraut, if my games with any of the burgers turn out to be total lag fests, then you'll know there's a problem. Enough time to cancel your preorder, fly to Montreal and take a shit on Bioware's doorstep. I sunk over 1000 hours into ME3 and that game had lots of issues. The only other game I spent that much time on is Mountain Blade. I definitely got more than my money's worth with those games and if Andromeda multiplayer is just nearly as good as ME3 multiplayer, then I'll be a smug alien pepe.

Been a fan for many years, when the owners of Bioware sold out to EA I saw a lot of things changing I didn't really care for, many of us had become friends with developers on the forum, some of us had the opportunity to play with them also, it was hard to take when support simply stopped for the game I had come to love and it was almost impossible near the end to play pugs at higher levels due to cheating. But if we look at ME3, that game came a long way both single player and MP. Personally I am very hopeful they will just build on that. There is going to be bugs and glitches no question what we need to do is see how long it taes them to fix these issues.

They are scrambling to get it out the door, it's end of the fiscal year. Any later and it would be released in the next fiscal year. So do consider that. Obviously. The whole last minute polishing when they found out the facial animations are getting criticized says it all, really. The already established need for a day one patch because the game simply hasn't been polished sufficiently is a huge red flag that this game is being rushed. I'd like to see an example of a AAA out in the last 3 years that didn't have a Day 1 Patch.

But it is what it is.

Before using the term "sold out to EA" you might want to actually research what happened instead of just repeating something that is incorrect. BioWare and Pandemic joined forces to create a publisher by using a private equity firm, EA approached that private equity firm and paid them almost double what they had loaned BioWare and Pandemic for their controlling interest. If anything it was more of a hostile takeover then BioWare selling out.

You can afford tossing it into trash once a year Huh? I make about $100k/yr. $80 is 80 bucks, I don't try to throw any money away. If you are a Rockefeller or don't give a fuck about your financial future post Daddy's money, by all means follow Domi's advice. For the rest of you, learn a little fiscal responsibility.

Mine too I don't care for multiplayer and don't plan on touching it. I don't care for singleplayer and don't plan on touching it. So, I guess this means we can never really be friends. Imagine if MP focused people went into the romance threads and posted something like that. "who cares about any of this. I'm only here for MP so none of this stuff matters. Don't get worked up or care so much."

....So servers and connectivity issues will not necessarily be a big problem for me -- but I know a lot of people love MP. Like the authentication servers for ME:2 or ME:3 for instance... when the servers were down and you couldn't authenticate your DLC? Those kind of servers? ... because the MP component is P2P. The SP game gets almost as badly shafted by crappy server architecture in most modern EA games as the MP.

About half the people I played ME3MP with on console and about half on PC both haven't touched the SP campaign passed Palaven. I met a guy at a potluck, weirdly enough, who said him and his friends bought the game solely for the MP. I think there are more people that fall into that category than people realize. Representation on the forums is not indicative of the general audience. I'd even go so far as to say its actually counter it at times.
