My God this game looks worse then what I originally thought. This is definitely looking to be their worst game yet. So I guess a 9/10 from your average """"""""gaming journalist"""""""" and """"""""game critic"""""""".

Well I easily avoided buying and playing Fallout 4. It wouldn't be hard to do the same for this *shrug* - if it really is a flop.

On the up side, you can change FOV without an .ini hack. But there's no explicit means to disable bloom.

If you'd like to disable motion blur, pop open the console with the [`] key and type:
Code:
WorldRender.MotionBlurEnable 0

This will show your framerate:
Code:
Perfoverlay.DrawFPS 1

Femshep was never based on any real person. When Mass Effect 3 was going to be released, part of the marketing campaign involved choosing the face of Female Shepard (she wasn't even considered in previous marketing campaigns actually)

People were speculating that the one with the bangs was inspired by Bailey Jay, but that's about it.
1. So M3SS EFFECT Is the game in which they got superSJW right? Wouldn't the SJW-er move be to include the default (yet improved) female Shepard which looks 100% more professional, and not, say, a runway model cosplaying as a space soldier (also fits Hale's voice much better)?
2. Sure BJ looks are inspired by someone/thing else too.

"To whom and your god damn father"

I didn't expect this game to be good but this is playing out like some sort of self mockery of the earlier games.

Plenty of review sites like PC Gamer are even ripping into it, surely the IP and potentially Bioware having creative control doesn't survive this?

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Character creation is... pathetic, can't change nose, eye or mouth shape, beard selection is pure WTF. I just want my lumberjack beard man...

From what I've read they've gone out of there to make any white pre selection look retarded while the black/asian ones look passable as realistic. That way when people pick black/asian characters to avoid their character looking like some sort of mutant, Bioware can say people have been longing for diversity and everyone's character selection choices are proof!

I thought you were joking. I just switched to female Ryder, half of the presets is Asian faces, the other half is black, I chose the one with slightly brown skin and no matter what I do, I just can't get white skin tone with the slider. It's fucking impossible to make a white female Ryder with any custom preset unless you pick an Asian one and somehow magically slap her face structure to look like an American or European.
If there's a way to recreate Sara with smaller eyes then I would pick that in a heartbeat.
I tried...

Even among Mass Effect fans, these new losers are completely overshadowed by the original trilogy's cast. I actually thought Liara was annoying in the first Mass Effect. I had no idea how bad things could get.

Second crash, might as well hit the bed.

Otherwise the game runs fairly well with everything on high on my old 770.
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.

I have a hard time justifying buying a new card. Maybe Mount & Blade 2 or Kingdom Come will be that justification.

Why someone would want to watch this abomination in 1080p?
