AngryJoe's review on MEA

I play on the Xbox One and don't understand where you all are seeing the "bad animations".  I've got over 40 hours of playtime and haven't seen anything I'd say would knock the game down to a 6/10.  I give the game an 8.5/10 purely for the fun factor alone.  I've only been to 2 planets and I'm hoping it won't be too repetitive, but I really don't see what all the fuss is over.

The worse one was when you first arrive on the Nexus and tell Addison about Alec. The lack of emotion on either person's face, or in their voice was just terrible, in a scene that was supposed to be serious. They cut to the close up of Ryder's face and it looks like he/she is daydreaming, oblivious to what is going on. The irony in Addison being the one to say my face is tired is hilarious because she has some of the worst, if not the worst facial animations in the game.

But I think the dead eyes is what drags it down the most. I can't get into a lot of scenes because the character's eyes are just dead or just staring off somewhere not even looking at the person they're talking to. It does happen a lot.  It just handicaps the voice actors, who aren't the strongest to begin with, because the characters face doesn't convey anything they're trying to get across.

I play XB1 also. Characters are lifeless, movement animations can get wonky and just weird. I haven't had a character outright do what Sloan did in joes video but my god that's awful if it happens to people. There's also the issue of certain NPCs just sitting in one spot and moving in an awkward way (look at most of the nexus security).

I have to disagree, not all protagonists have to be hardasses and he wants one. I find his friend in the middle a better judge of things. Also the original Star Treks were corny as fuck at times with a more family and positive vibe.

Another thing I disagree with is the Suvi flirty dialogue, again it is not for straight guys. I found it adorable and extremely cute people need to chill.

Let us just disagree on that point, I think it has a Star Trek vibe, you do not, it is fine.

Also the whole point is having a young lesbian and someone with little experience. Sure Suvi does not appeal to me but I am going to repeat myself here, that scene is not for straight males. 

I think it was the guy who put a Vorcha flamer behind a corner, in a corridor on Omega.

I tell myself hes probably got a shitty life sometimes to make myself feel better.

*Sips Ryncol*

Fatality.

I hope the guy who put the vorcha flamer behind that corner became a husk we killed in ME3. 

The conversation with Liara bugs the living shit out of me, but there seems to be a way around it by selecting the dialogue in a specific sequence, which I can no longer remember exactly but it involves Glyph. The problem is Shepard's head tracking stupid Glyph as it moves around the two of them. But if you get the dialogue where Glyph talks about fixing the schedule to be more efficient with Liara saying that was the reason it was confined to her quarters, that doesn't happen. 

I've experienced the eye tracking stuff more than head. The only instance I can really remember happening regularly was the Liara convo bug in her quarters. But here and there I might get one where the eyes move too far in one direction, though that doesn't happen often enough to drive me crazy.

Agreed even 14 might be pushing it...😂
