I love it. Like a lot. Go figure.
You should be able to pull it down from the store via the Free Trial button... if you are an EA Access member. No need to even open the app.

Thank you! I can't be the only one who feels that way. Some conversations have such different lines of dialogue that it feels so disconnected or badly translated.
Seems more like you'll be dealing with the odd natural human response here and there.
Game seems cool so far, the character interactions seem fine as you explore. But then again I have the weird ability to play a game for what it is. So does it have the greatest animation and lip sync ever seen in a game? No. But does it start off interesting? Yes.
Looks pretty good as-well.
Note: Played on PC on a Sony 65 inch 4k tv in HDR at 90% of 4k resolution scale with every other setting on ultra on a Nvidia 1070 at 30 FPS.
Just about any game looks amazing on this tv. And yes I have been playing Horizon on PS4 pro and Zelda on Wii U. Games does not looks as good as Horizon but its a dame good looking game.
Only decision now is, do I just buy it on Origin or do I get it for the Pro.

Game looks fucking bad on Xbone. It is like the is running 75-80% render quality. EDIT this aside it is nice, i guess, but i can't tolerate the render quality as it is (1080p tv).
Blurry mess, and that is both distracting and affects gameplay (in MP) in that it is hard to find ammo boxes in hurry.
And there are framerate drops too.
Most certainly not getting this for Xbone. PC, maybe, once i fix it, though i find the MP problematic in some ways. Controls are weak, sluggish, slightly imprecise and cover system is actually worse than ME1's...
Sound design is meh. Music doesn't feel like anything and guns lack distinctive punchy sounds, which is really disappointing since the ME trilogy did these very well.
Also, the story beginning is really... lame. The game doesn't drum any awesomeness into exploring new places, characters feel like they're faking enthusiasm. Maybe it will get better.
Frankly, things are worse than i expected. I thought that maybe the biggest issues will be meh story and kinda generic exploration based on excessive filler but would be otherwise OK if not great. That would have been exceeding my expectations. But with start this muted... DA:I, from the little i played it when my brother got it, at least started well and looked and sounded nice, felt like "i kinda want to see what happens next".

Since there is so many ME threads, is the blond girl bisexual or straight for the male ryder?

Fucking hell this character creator is really bad. People of ethnicity did you have any issues making a similar looking character? As a white guy my only starting option looks like a meth addict or the other guy has pock marks up his neck.
lol
I imagine that the line delivery might actually work if they were being performed by an actor on stage. Unfortunately, they're being delivered by a character model that has the expressive range of a sock puppet.

i'm def just going to play MP for the trial. sounds like i'm going to spend ages in character creation to make a decent fem ryder from the impressions. must create hot waifu, don't want to waste an hour of trial doing so.

Even with all the shitting on this game its still my most anticipated game of the year. Can't wait to get my PS4 copy. (Played like 30 mins on pc and had to force myself to stop)

So just played it for a few hours. I just got to the scene where
I actually like the story up to now, I think the dialogue from Ryder and the companions is somewhat easy to forgive since they're the young kids on the team, sort of like in Mortal Kombat X. The combat also seems good but I haven't tried enough of it to figure out if it's something I'll hate later on.
My biggest gripe at the moment is the fucking faces. I tried to mitigate the problem by giving Ryder darker eyes instead of the blue or white colored eyes that I've been seeing but holy shit it's still the most noticeable flaw in the game. The eye flaw in the faces make them seem like Fallout 4 tier faces. They remind me of that screenshot of the super mutant that people were sharing when the game was about to come out.
Also yeah, the character creator is 80% garbage. They give you preset faces and just a few sliders but no real, "hey these are different eyebrows try these" options, or different mouths or eyes. Just make the eyes (or other option) higher or deeper or a different color. That's it. The options for tattoos, scars and make up are pretty good though but yeah.
they're getting to the Nexus for the first time.

I just got spoiled hard on the opening to the game. Fuck EA Access and fuck whoever created that clip Jesus Christ.
Hopefully just an outlier. I remember the infamous Bron Horizon scene that people shit on for like 50 pages and it turned out to be an outlier.

When even the characters are making excuses for the poor facial animations, you know you have a problem.

if ur worried about spoilers why would you view anything on a game you're going to get regardless of what u see, i'll never understand that
I'll post what I did in the other thread:
I watched a friend from Spain play a little, and funny enough the Spanish translation managed to make some of those lines come across a lot better. For instance, she doesn't say my face, she just refers to herself being tired. They use pioneer instead of Pathfinder in the Spanish translation, and instead of saying "until they've pathfound something", it's something like until they've found a new path.
I don't think the writing and dialogue is very good regardless, but it was interesting to see a translation fix what appears to be a terrible oversight.

Same thing happened to me. Uninstalling it made the game work.Really?
CUE continues to be a pain on my PC.

Oh man. I didn't think it'd be as bad as everyone said. I'm gonna give this a try on X1 EA access. If it's not good I'll just start Horizon. Eventually gonna get it on PC.
Really?
It's actually not that uncommon of an issue. Hardware specific software has caused me plenty of issues in the past, namely an audio program called Nahamic.
Yeah german Translation is similar to the spain one. Translators probably also thought that the lines are weird and fixed them.
Huh
I am running CUE software. I did a fresh driver install and redownloading the game now anyway, but I'll give this a try in a bit.

I'm not seeing these janky animations 5 hours in. PC. 980 TI. High Settings. Dunno what's going on for you guys.
Interesting, thanks.
The Turian and Krogan look pretty interesting. I wanna learn more about them. That alone gives me hope for the future party members. Scott Ryder has the most generic fucking face though. Sara definitely has a more iconic face but I wanna be able to romance the straight ladies. Liam is fucking lame and I am dreading a loyalty mission of sorts for him.
Note that I'm not playing the game. I'm just basing this on all the streams I've watched.

BRUUUUUUHHHHHH!!! The multiplayer is
Shit is on point. Hella addicted to it already. Man just when I thought ME3 multiplayer was fucking fantastic, they went and dropped this bombshell on me.
If ME3 multiplayer is a .50cal sniper rifle
Andromeda multiplayer is a nuclear warhead.
The fast paced action, the jump jets, the dodging, the climbing up on top of buildings, the fact that enemies can come from below and above you now, the new gun sounds, the new sprint and jumpjet melee, power all have their own cooldowns so combos out the ass, the very fast movement, and once you get a momentum going, man its like a fucking pain train of fun.
my god.
Man with the human vanguard. im just fucking DOMINATING the score boards. Jumping all up in niggas faces and shit, shotgun blast, nova, then charge the next guy and punch him in the face(which restores 20% of my shield btw) followed by a shockwave that sends him flying into the abyss.................man this shit is just too good.
Even if the campaign was complete garbage(which I havent even started yet) i'd be completely happy with just the multiplayer.

I was happy until I reached the first planet with the human settlement on it.
I don't like this gameplay loop. Will play through my remaining time, but I doubt I'm buying this.

There's something about the dialogue and animation and character models that is bothering me to no end.
Like the RPS guy mentioned the shooting scene and I thought 'it can't be that bad' and it was. It made me go from 'hey this character might be cool' to 'oh god I want nothing to do with him after this'
I don't know what it is. Dragon Age Inquisition didn't feel this... amateurish on so many regards?

Thats almost been a theme this month with Horizon and BotW being best in a language other then English (Despite English being the official target version)

The corpse shooting scene wasn't that bad.
Maybe some of the faces but otherwise no, no chance.

yeah I agree. Inquisition looked better. Maybe it's the art direction or maybe it's the more varied locations vs the solid white future empty buidlings, but it looked better based off my memory.
The line delivery was so incredibly awkward, and the writing itself felt manufactured and that it didn't fit. Yes it was that bad for me.

Na. Na...
This looks better. Maybe the art style lands better for you in Dragon Age but Andromeda certainly looks better.
It kind of sounds like someone reading a line aloud for the first time, like the VA was been hammering through a few pages of script and this was their very first take.
