I don't blame the multiplayer at all for ME:A's current woes. People loved the multiplayer
in 3 (myself included) and I know a couple people who are buying Andromeda primarily for it. No need to disparage that side of the game. It seems like it will probably end up being the best element of the game.
Although, I agree, the state of the single player is a fucking shame. MP is not the main draw for Mass Effect nor is it why people fell in love with the series.

It's EA, sequels probably start development alongside currently developed titles in a minor form, and then ramp up to full blow development shortly after the current game is out.
Well, that will be a huge fucking problem, as the core fans of ME did not come on board for MP, regardless of how good MP may end up being. That's really my point. If the MP portion of the game ends up better than SP, then people will be asking questions as to why, and often ire is aimed at the MP budget/staff being taken from the SP element. Or if it is outsourced (MP) people will question what the hell happened to the internal studio/devs to screw up so badly?
Early stages of design. 8 months after ME3 came out. They won't be working on models/animations for a while after that either.
Nice...
You're a lead developer in a tech company and you reference a pro-gamergate site looking to shame a female animator on the project? Do you understand how fucking terrible that looks? Do you realize that gamergate has targeted women with serial harassment, doxing, and death threats?
Fuck off, I already said I was wrong and that she clearly has experience. I was just commenting based on solely the title of that article, which was clearly not correct. Let's get back to the jank.

Yeah, too many invectives are starting to fly around, I expect this to be locked soon, a shame, the amount of laughs I got here was better then any sitcom/stand-up I've recently watched.
Imagine now that a game like Witcher 3 took a little over 3 years to develop.
This animators witch hunt is crazy, and of course the main target is a female, what a surprise! And looking at those awful animation, most of the bugs and junk seem to be the result of using a 3rd party animation engine for the characters, a decision probably made way higher up to avoid/lessen motion capture cost, save time and probably use less animators.

Fuck, sorry, I didn't mean to post a SunhiLegend gif from Horizon: Zero Dawn available now for the PS4 and PS4 Pro.
If only it were 60fps. Missed opportunity.

Maybe on the PS5. It's already a miracle it runs at 30fps with those graphics.

This is my thought. Sara's ear would have been ringing or at the very least would have flinched.

Has anybody seen this post on 9gag:
What an amazing difference! They should hire that guy!
It's stuff like this that makes me not wanna bother. I can spend tons of time explaining how faces in ME:A look horrible and Sara looks like she's decomposing inside and gasses expelled by the bacteria make her face inflate, but people like this will just allow for easy reduction of my arguement to a convenient strawman of :
"I want all girls to look pretty T_T "

Maybe read what you link before you post. He says early stages of designing, just over 4 years ago.

I got the Platinum for this and I care not for Trophies but the framerate was never ever in mind when I was playing it. It was a glorious experience pretty much all the way through - except farming those bastard animals skins for upgrades lol

Just an ounce of critical thinking skills would've told you that that article's title is complete bullshit, but somehow, "it all made sense."
Because for a shit ton of people that IS exactly what it's about instead of the less good aspects about the renderer, models, lighting, and animation.

Man, this thread is only going to get worse when the real game comes out. I don't want to play any mission with PEEBEE in it.

It's not like she is a human anyway.
She appeals to the nerds and fanboys who want realistic looking women who don't believe a 7 is average.
Witcher 3 had much bigger team working on it though. And supposedly a less troubled development if we the leaks are anything to go by. I'd love to have info on this game development
MY GOD at least read the follow up posts.
Cool, didn't know you play as reverse flash!

I mean, that's exactly what I said in my next couple sentences. :/
The multiplayer shouldn't be the highlight. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. It should just be overshadowed by an excellent single player experience. In this case, they fucked up the single player bad. I don't subscribe to the idea that the resources needed for the MP were so large that they are to blame for the technological and creative clusterfuck of the SP. This game was in development for five years. It's ignorant to scapegoat the legitimate problems of this game on the MP component.
It cheapens the actual issues. Which are likely mismanagement, poor direction, and lack of experience.
Whenever I hear that someone beat Horizon without realizing you could just farm Processed Metal Blocks from Scrappers and Scrapper Piles and trade them in Meridian for Scavenger Dark Boxes which drop rare animal components like candy, I feel really, really bad for them.

If they can write a functional story to that mess called inquisition.

I know it wasn't until I was done with upgrades that I even went to that trader lol Still the hunt for rats wasn't too bad.............

I'm in agreement with you, but people do what people do and scramble for reasons to blame. It's not as if EA and Bioware are ever going to give clear, concise and lengthy reasons for fuck ups.

It's not like she is a human anyway.
I'm convinced that at least part of the reason FemRyder looks so bad compared to other characters is because they purposefully tried to change her from the original model to something less attractive. I can only think that, like some of the posters on this site, someone at Bioware thought it would be particularly noble or virtuous to not make FemRyder too hot. No such concerns over male Ryder of course.
But whoever oversaw that 'opposite make over', so to speak, seemingly didn't have the talent to do it properly because they took her face careening into uncanny valley. If you're going to do something like that, you at least need to have the skill to pull it off.

You can't photoshop a 3d character and make it work.
It's much more complicated than that
I doubt that, the model is definitely meant to look somewhat attractive:
It only really falls apart when she make those awful expressions. You're giving them too much credit there.
says the person with a FFXV avatar lmao
Inquisition's story was perfectly serviceable. More importantly, the writing was actually good.
SJW agenda amirite????
How about no
Oh fuck off. No one in this conversation thinks its "noble or virtuous" to have less attractive female characters. They just don't think all women need to be prettied up for our consumption.
