Mass Effect: Andromeda Pre-Release Thread

[Talby]

This really is shameful, check out this Webm for some of the worst recorded voice acting in ever and it's a major NPC with fixed dialogue options it's a fucking embarrasment.

For some reason every cunt in the space station in the clips I've watched is banging on about poetry, the writing sounds as if it was written by an adolescent lovestruck Hungarian with a poor grasp of English.

Her face is tired alright. Too tired to move.

Oh and who the hell is farming our memes and posting them on 8chan?:D

Am I the only one who thinks the 'ugly' asari isn't ugly? I think she's decent looking. Not a supermodel but bangable.

Too many more of these embedded gifs (even if processed on external URLs) and they're going to take away our buttons again.

Second crash, might as well hit the bed.

Otherwise the game runs fairly well with everything on high on my old 770. You can scale back the res in the game which is nice. I use 720p for my 1920 x 1080 resolution. Not ideal, but better than nothing since I do want the shiny stuff. It goes from 60-35 fps, and I think the lack of VRAM is the main problem. Might as well lock in 30 fps if it is possible somehow. The game looks good though.

Combat is improved 10 times since Mass Effect. The jump jet adds a lot. Movement and cover system is fluid. I'm playing an engineer so I'm throwing out turrets to distract while I jump in for the kill. This "class" can also stun with overload. And if I find a shotgun stuff can get exciting
Writing seems okay so far, it got this Mass Effect vibe to it. It just seems odd that humanity would go through this project though. I mean we already have our own home galaxy to explore. People in the game are so damn excited for this great opportunity when there is loads of opportunities like this to be found already without having to leave everything and everyone behind. But oh well.

I haven't met too many characters so far though, but the ones I have talked to seem fine. I haven't noticed any strange animations glitches either yet, but I'm not really looking for them. Seems odd though that everyone is complaining about the introduction mission, because I usually love these starts when you are thrown into the unknown. You don't even know the guys you are fighting, just that you are stuck on this strange alien planet with them and they don't like you very much. To me at least it is a pretty good introduction and sets up a mystery. But like I have said I have not come to far yet so everything can still turn sour.

Y-you b-b-bought it?

 

[Alienman]

Nein.

 

[raesha]

Y-you b-b-bought it?

German version of Origin has a free origin access trial still going (well, it did 12 hours ago in case EA got on it), you don't need to pay a single cent if you're feeling morbidly curious and can use a vpn.

 

[sullynathan]

can you guys slow down the gifs or at least spoiler them? slowing down my computer.

1) It looks so shit I don't even want to play it for free. I just want to laugh at it...
2) If I did want to play it for free my computer which can easily run Witcher 3 on near high settings, despite me having a 10 year old q9300 clockwork processor wouldn't run this awful ugly mess with clip art backgrounds and barbie doll animations.
3) If it did I would never sign up to Origins anyway.
4) Even If I would I would rather feed small pieces of broken glass up my Japs eye than pretend to be a German, even on the internet, even just for a day.

Who gives a shit about Bioware. I haven't played a Bioware game since Jade Empires. Not even worth the effort to pirate.

My bet is that EA cut their motion capture budget and that Bioware let go of most of the people who actually knew what they were doing animation-wise and kept the junior staff - because social justice and/or because they are cheaper to keep around.

The result: a bunch of newbies fiddling with animations by hand in Maya and hoping no one will notice.

I have no idea how any of it works but it sounds like you know what you're talking and I'll go with that. Although the Mass Effect games were never MASTERPIECES they were never this blatant garbage in terms of basic animation.

Also I would have clicked the Interesting button but some faggot has removed it from the list.

I actually do not.

When in doubt, give me a parrot. I like parrots.

Oh Gee, Thanks King Autism.
We are having fun cracking jokes and you come in here, kick down the door and squat over the carpet.

Review copy?

And get a new graphics card, you cheap ass. An RX480 8GB for 1080p gaming only costs 240 Eurobucks.

EDIT: He got a free test version from Origin access.
