Guess the popular streamers are getting it early. Coth already playing and Lirik said he will be playing it later today.

Hmm. In response to some of the negative previews that have been released? Streamers are always a great way to create some mindless positivity around a game pre-launch.

 

[Karak]

lol its not just them. A large number of non gamers got it. Some cooking channels have it(youtube), looks like one random tech channel, and a couple folks not in the industry at all who just have large twitter numbers. Its completely random lol. But since the early access codes live at least everyone can get hands on

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

As far as I'm aware everything that's in the trial going live tomorrow is fair game to share.

 

[Catvoca]

Hmm. In response to some of the negative previews that have been released? Streamers are always a great way to create some mindless positivity around a game pre-launch.

There was only like 1 negative preview lol. The EA access thing starts tomorrow anyway so there will be a flood of regular people playing the game and giving impressions, no need to worry about fake postive buzz pre-launch.

Yeah almost all the previews were positive. But of course people like to focus on the one negative thing and run with it.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I think they are restricted to 10h of the trial. Also, XB1 and PC players can play it in 2 1/2 hours with EA/Origin Access.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

What the hell Bioware. I mean it's nice to give more options but this is just fucking ridiculous.

Just imagine a sad scene with this face, who the fuck would take this seriously? So immersion breaking.

Not shocking Lorik made one of these..again

And yet TotalBiscuit is having a hard time getting a code, lol.

 

[kulapik]

DansGaming said they can only play one mission

 

[Strakt]

They have the same 10 hr trial we're getting. They just have early access to it

 

[Catvoca]

it starts in like 2 hours

Oh, cool. I'm getting it on PS4 so I have to wait until next week.

 

[robotrock]

it starts in like 2 hours

The EA early access? damn sick

world wide?

Most of the previews are positive. This isn't in response to anything. Reviewers got their copies, now streamers/influencers are getting theirs.

LMAO, imagine the romance scenes. But yeah, people always do this. Nothing new.

 

[Ralemont]

Wouldnt be a BW game if you couldn't make hideous monsters in the CC.

 

[robotrock]

Some cooking channels have it(youtube)

I need a link to this badly

 

[M.W.]

EA Access trial should be available in a few hours

People have been doing this LITERALLY since the first mass effect came out a decade ago. It's only immersion breaking you're bothered by the fact that some people are gonna have a different looking Ryder than you. I find the Trump gif to be more immersion breaking actually. Fucking christ. ._.

Looking forward to to reviews, Friday right?

The 20th ( Monday )

 

[TheRed]

Graphics look really nice are Carnage stream he has good quality. Guess if anything my pre order just for pretty graphics will be worth it. Hope the game doesn't clicks with me more than Inquisition which I hated.

 

[Jibbed]

EA Acces trial unlocks at 9:30pm GMT.

That's 103 minutes from now. You're welcome.

 

[Karak]

And yet TotalBiscuit is having a hard time getting a code, lol.

It happens. Each company handles it differently. Random forum admins without channels got it as well.

 

[Ronabo]

Can they stream full frontal nudity on twitch?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

What the hell Bioware. I mean it's nice to give more options but this is just fucking ridiculous.

Fucking Lirik. lol

 

[Diablohead]

MP looks as fun as it was in ME3 so that's great to see.

 

[GasProblem]

Ready for some console impressions. Fingers crossed.

 

[Acquiescence]

Still an improvement over default female Ryder though.

That soon. Ugh, I already have the game pre ordered. But I probably will cave and get access just for this. Really want to try this for myself.

 

[Vire]

I'm just not seeing an evolution or any interesting jump for this series. If anything, in some areas regression. I guess I was just expecting so much more.

For the first next generation output of a beloved franchise, this is really disappointing.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Any good creations yet?

 

[Foxtastical]

You don't have to create a face like that, right?

More and more I'm thinking that the development for this has been rough. But that's just tales from my ass based on the ongoing departures, the weird marketing, the long development time, a new studio, the re-use of assets from the old trilogy, and the absolutely incredibly rough animations.

 

[Tranqueris]

Is this some kind of "screw it we're unlocking it at GMT time" thing? Or a "this is already unlocked but you have to wait until 12am (insert your time zone here)" thing?

 

[iHaunter]

Bright Side:

FPS looks good, seems optimzed.

Down Side:

Animations look pretty janky.

Graphics are downgraded.

Lip syncing is horrible.

Character creation is horrible.

 

[xZoneHunter]

Little bit off-topic but which pass/trial do i need to purchase to be able to play the first 10 hours tomorrow?

 

[Tecnniqe]

Origin Access on PC or EA Access on Xbox

 

[xZoneHunter]

Origin Access on PC or EA Access on Xbox

Thanks. Just looked up the price, 5$ isn't too bad actually!

 

[Tecnniqe]

Thanks. Just looked up the price, 5$ isn't too bad actually!

It's not, and you get access to a bunch of other games too!

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

You don't have to create a face like that, right?

You can create a normal looking human being if that's what your asking.

 

[zebez]

Nice! Thought I had to wait another hour to watch streams!

 

[Schlorgan]

Shinobi shared a pretty decent custom character: https://twitter.com/shinobi602/status/841744087741022209

Yes, you do. White hair and lips are mandatory.

 

[thepenguin55]

Well technically 1 but GameSpot was pretty down on it. I just watched their live show The Lobby and all 3 of the people who played it weren't super into it to say the least. Peter Brown (who has no prior experience with the series) really seems to not like what he's played so far. The other two (Mahardy and someone whose name slips my mind) were at least hopeful that the game would turn things around. The other two also enjoyed the combat.

Great, now everything is a fucking conspiracy.
