Biggest disappointment of the year easily, was so looking forward to this one
Nah, why would you skip a game because of a few flawed animations. They will probably patch it. Many hated Mass effect 3 and I loved it.

What.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.
The story and the writing is horrible on top of everything ittNah, why would you skip a game because of a few flawed animations. They will probably patch it. Many hated Mass effect 3 and I loved it.
Wait for reviews and full impressions, it might still be more than fine. The game might also be improved after the worst kinks and warts are patched out, so jumping into it later on is also a possibility
What? What's been shown of the writing is good. Addison's one line is silly, but the writing is still great thus far.The story and the writing is horrible on top of everything itt

I don't think they could ever patch animations. It doesn't make any sense from a business perspective. CDPR only did it for their GOTY version because they had the capital and goodwill. Which is a shame because the gunplay is pretty solid.Wait for reviews and full impressions, it might still be more than fine.

So for what it's worth the silly walk is not something that shows up only with female PC. I was wondering why male PC was getting such minor coverage in this thread - and honestly, I keep wondering! Is no one in the press and Access-subscribers circles playing as Scott, or is that that Sara players are less tolerant to such silliness? I expected "devs polished Sara less" to be the only explanation at some point but that totality is clearly false.
Here i was thinking i could make a cool character in andromeda, just like i did in 20 minutes in inquisition...
20 minutes i did something 1000 times better than the MAIN character made by PROFESSIONALS in modeling characters, made with a CC by the SAME FUCKING COMPANY, 3 years ago... 20 MINUTES I DID THIS:

This game screams " i dont give a fuck " dev work...
How can someone didnt said a word in bioware telling the people who made the models the eyes are completely garbage and lifeless? Its mindblowing and shows this company have no standards in quality.
Not to mention the same company did miles better just 3 years ago.
I am playing Horizon and you can see how much love they put in those characters. In andromeda looks like amateurs made this.
This is a character that you talk for like 10 minutes in Horizon, gives you a quest, shows how much they care about giving us something good.

But it's hard for me to imagine that even months of patches will fix some of the issues that seem like they are fundamental to their animation solution. With that said, this is all speculation. Perhaps they are working on such fixes as we speak.

I bet he loved the genocide options on the renegade path
Nah, how the companions and side-quests have been written range from decent to hear from both impressions and having actually played it.Nah, it's ranged from mediocre to horrible according to press impressions. It squanders its setting too.
That's cute how you felt the need to edit my post into whatever you wanted to get out of it. Fight on!That's good to know. Seriously, what do you think the purpose of photoshopped images like that one are? Or the butt comparison on page 55, or a full willingness to believe that a company would hire someone with no experience to be a lead animator and thus, she is the SOLE person to blame for all the issues with the animation, or conspiracy theories that the women are intentionally less attractive because "they were too hot." Do you not realize how transparent shit like that is? Or what would lead someone to believe any of it is valid?
I mean you're​ objective wrong from both having played it and following impressions.No, it ranges from terrible to mediocre from what I've heard and seen.
Here's some avatar If anyone's interested (I highly doubt it though).

What an amazing difference! They should hire that guy!
Well, you don't. Most impressions do line up with what I've played though.Nobody agrees with you though :/

As someone else said earlier, calling it like I see it. I'm not gonna coddle gamer culture sexism.That's cute how you felt the need to edit my post into whatever you wanted to get out of it. Fight on!
Thank you.Since I'm not interested in derailing the thread any further I'd just like to point out that trying to start a witch hunt against that animator is bullshit of the highest order and to please abstain from going down that road y'all.

While the removal of the make-up sure helps the main thing is the eyes.![]()
someone made a comparison of Addison without Homer's make-up shotgun.
This game screams " i dont give a fuck " dev work...
How can someone didnt said a word in bioware telling the people who made the models the eyes are completely garbage and lifeless? Its mindblowing and shows this company have no standards in quality.
Well, the one on the right looks a bit like a specially tailored create-a-character. Which I'm sure is why they went with the model we have now, with a real person's likeness.
But they also must have done the facial animations before the switch, which is why there are awkward scenes e.g. Ryder smiling after being toldThey didn't account for the upturned corners of the model's mouth so it looks really inappropriate, and there's no time to correct every single facial animation.her father was dead.
I gotta imagine beta-Ryder will be patched out in not too long.
Nah I've found the writing to be fairly bad overall. Addison is a low point but the rest bounces between being outright laughable and mediocre.

Quick and dirty job. It's definitely the eyes.
While the removal of the make-up sure helps the main thing is the eyes.
Some people will never admit devs can be lazy. They can be over-worked, under-staffed, or mis-managed, but never lazy. The gaming industry is the one exception in the whole of humanity.

The hell does objectively wrong mean? I find the writing to be subpar, maybe not horrible, but the shooting scene made me gag.I mean you're​ objective wrong from both having played it and following impressions.
People have an inherent unconscious bias against 'averageness', thus making more likely that results would go to one of the extremes.So basically, there's:
- 10/10 supermodel sexy
- Lynchian, uncanny valley mannequin that can't emote properly and has perpetual coke eyes
I feel like there's a bit of space between these two.
Thanks, thead moved fast since last i read along.Yeah, people's freaked out quite a bit yesterday (Page.46)
Between the wide eyed stares, emotionless faces, and poor animations, the choice of makeup on this character bothers me the most. It is the simplest thing to fix, yet someone looked at that and thought that was fine.
In a huge game Dev team in EA?Some people will never admit devs can be lazy. They can be over-worked, under-staffed, or mis-managed, but never lazy. The gaming industry is the one exception in the whole of humanity.

Nah,we need to have much more diversity in the way women look in games.
I like Peebee's design in the video.She's not meant to have a beauty paegent face.
