I remember when people were posting out of context slowed down gifs for Dragon Age 3 under the assumption that it was gonna be a turd but it was actually really cool and good.

You can also get him to stand down by default if you don't recruit Garrus and haven't been to Therum to pick up Liara yet. Since Kaidan and Ashley both become unavailable during the mission, your only squad member left would be Tali. You're not allowed to have only one person in your squad so Wrex sticks around.

Holy poo poo

Also if you don't recruit Garrus I assume you recruit him just the same in ME2 except you don't know one another?

The Asari in this game is a weirdo that tries to date and gently caress both Ryders at the same time.

Instead of you romancing someone, Pheebee romances you and this manifests as her visiting your quarters after every mission to check and see if you have something new to say

I am looking at the difference in the numbers for the recommended CPU and my CPU which came out in 2012 and they are almost identical and I have never ever been CPU bottlenecked while playing games

You can watch the scenes in motion already and it really isn't. The problems with the animations tend to happen too fast to be noticeable if you ask me, at least not beyond whatever jankyness you'd get simulating a human being.

Okay I take it back, in the DA:I thread lots of people who were declaring the game bad didn't go away, they instead continued to declare the game as bad while also playing the poo poo out of the game and asking for tips as to how they could get the most out of their game-playing experience.

I remember more than one case of "Hahaha boy this game sure is bad, right fellow goons? Now I'm trying to romance the templar but it requires I collect some doohickeys from the hinterlands (a bad zone btw) can anyone point me in the right direction? Boy what a bad game"

There is a ten hour demo of the game out there right now that you can play. The game is a turd, considering its heritage, budget, and development time. Five years and god knows how many millions of dollars should absolutely deliver better than what we're seeing.

Most of the criticism is "some of this writing is bad" and "Some of the animations are janky" and if those are dealbreakers you might be a bit of a weirdo but that's just my opinion.

Well it's actually that some of the writing is [/i]really loving bad[/i] and some of the animations are really loving hilariously bad. If you're cool with that in your highly anticipated $60 AAA game, then fine, but don't start acting like they aren't legitimate complaints.

I guess that it's more like "if these are the sorts of problems sticking out for people:

Berious posted:

One small thing that bothers me is the amount of clipping. Either an object is solid and you can't even get near it or it's clippable and you go right through it. It's very obvious too with the amount of clippable flora and dead enemies turning clippable. Games like witcher 3 disguised this by having plants do a little parting animation so it looked like you were a real object really interacting with a real environment. No idea why they made dead enemies clippable. Guess the engine is trash that can't handle dynamic environments

It's very nitpicky but c'mon guys you're AAA and spend silly amounts of money on this poo poo. I expect polish not this rushed to market shite

then that's a good sign."

How's this for a criticism: this game that they stated in many interviews as being built around the core themes of exploration and discovery, and heavily marketed as such, has no real sense of either of those things, and the worlds are all incredibly dull and unfulfilling, from both a visual and gameplay perspective.

This definitely has more merit than "look at this wacky gif"

Good things so far:
Characters don't look nearly as bad as in the gifs posted (though I am playing on ultra)
Dadryder
The villain made an appearance and didn't monologue or say a single word. This is good.
Graphics are good. That scene a tthe thing when dadryder is reaching out and datamining it looked great
Gameplay is good, jetpack changes a lot of dynamics

Bad things so far:

I'm 3hrs into the game and I haven't banged anyone yet
I explored an entire optional objective and then accidentally died and the autosave brought me back to wayyyy before so I had to redo everything
3hrs in and the only crewmates I've met so far are the two humans. Disturbing lack of alien activity.




From this first day of playing, I've come to the conclusion that this game isn't "the worst"

This pleases me because this is more or less exactly what I am looking for

Imagine living in a year in 2017 where we've had the greatest opening to a year in video game history

Yakuza 0
Tales of Berseria
Gravity Rush 2
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Nioh
Horizon Zero Dawn
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Nier: Automata

All highly regarded as great games. Sure, there's some games that are maybe exclusive to a console or aren't your cup of tea, but that's ok! There's a large swatch of genres there to suit drat near every palate.

But no, instead you're going to champion what's an aggressively mediocre game, especially in 2017's landscape, in Mass Effect: Andromada.

personally i have more "good video game" slots mentally allotted each year than one
