Dropped like it was nothing is a pretty big exaggeration. There was plenty of warning. As somebody who didn't want to know it was easy for me to skip ahead

good for you dude

Sweet additional episode notes, almost like they felt like they needed to have a bit more warning. http://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/

I didn't even look at the episode notes. There was plenty of warning IN THE PODCAST. It's possible that it was pointless to bring up (I wouldn't know because I didn't hear it), but it didn't come out of nowhere.

That wasn't my point about the episode notes. My point is they got enough feedback to add that additional comment after the fact.

And I'm glad it didn't come out of nowhere from you and your investment wasn't spoiled for little reason. But one second he was talking about joke endings and the next a brief "can I spoil a thing, okay cool" and then drops it. Look at the episode comments. Look at the replies to the Twitter post for the episode, look at his replies. I'm not the only one and if I was given enough notice I wouldnt have fucking listened to it. There wasn't a reason for it, and GB already knows how often they get shit for spoiling stuff. By the responses of the GB crew, I don't think they understood what was actually being spoiled.

But I won't keep harping about it. I've said my piece.

Fucksticks.

Patiently waiting for Rorie to drop some unrelated anecdote. 🙏

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

How did they still think that about the premise?

 

[brainzelda]

Identifying Mass Effect.

Yup it's Mass Effect.

 

[Teddified]

How did they still think that about the premise?

because the bombcast doesn't have corrections.

 

[oti]

Can I climb that spaceship? No? TRASH.

 

[Real Hero]

How did they still think that about the premise?

It's not?

 

[Real Hero]

The voice acting is so bad and so is the writing

 

[Teddified]

UNKNOWN ERROR

 

[inky]

Unknown Error

Edit: Dammit Teddi!

That voice acting was fucking awful

 

[mnz]

because the bombcast doesn't have corrections.

And apparently none of them read comments

 

[repeater]

These faces look SO BAD.

 

[oti]

Guys. This looks baaaaaaaaaaad.

 

[imBask]

was it made by the same team? it looks like a bad spinoff and it looks worse than ME3 in my head

 

[Real Hero]

I am massivly effected by this games low quality

 

[Askherserenity]

Woahhhhhh. This shit looks rough. How does this still look so rough?

 

[TharpDaddy]

Shinobi says it's really good. I.. I have to believe.

 

[mullet2000]

was it made by the same team? it looks like a bad spinoff and it looks worse than ME3 in my head

It really does have that Direct-to-VHS feel so far...

 

[Moppeh]

Guys. This looks baaaaaaaaaaad.

Yep.

 

[Askherserenity]

Guys, remember how much style the first Mass Effect had?

 

[Meguro]

I thought people were just taking rough scenes and playing those up but YIKES.
This looks really really bad.
Like, everything about it just doesn't look finished.

 

[Teddified]

oh god those eyes

 

[Archaix]

was it made by the same team? it looks like a bad spinoff and it looks worse than ME3 in my head

They had to make an entirely new galaxy full of entirely new...oh, right.

No idea.

 

[oti]

ARE THEY ALL HIGH OR WHAT

 

[VeryGooster]

yeeeesh

 

[Diancecht]

This game looks like dogshit.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Ok yeeeah, those eyes are impossible to ignore.

 

[Real Hero]

Guys, remember how much style the first Mass Effect had?

Yeah this is evoking none of that so I don't buy people saying it feels like 1, so far anyway

 

[Hindl]

In terms of polish this feels like the game is at a state where an indie team brings it in for an EX, not a big budget game in a storied franchise releasing in a week

 

[mnz]

DID YOU SEE HER SWAG WALK AWAY!?

Someone clip that holy shit

 

[Moppeh]

Ummm...

That is a terrible voice for a Krogan.

I do like Kumail Nanjiani voicing a Salarian, though.

 

[Twin Tails]

Someone made Mass Effect in Garry's Mod.

 

[imBask]

I have no opinion on Mass Effect, other than I never finished 1 because it was boring

but this looks legit terrible for a AAA. There's no excuse for that shit in a world where Witcher 3 and Horizon now exist

 

[mullet2000]

Ummm...

That is a terrible voice for a Krogan.

Seriously.

 

[Felix Lighter]

The original Mass Effect trilogy had exceptional character models. The animations were always a bit off but the character models for major characters were some of the best of it's time. This game has even worse animations and exceptionally bad character models. I'm not sure what happened there. I've seen some nice environments but the character models and animations are so bad.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Ummm...

That is a terrible voice for a Krogan.

I was just thinking that. Even female Krogans should have pretty gravely voices imo. That lady sounds more like one of the vorcha

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Ummm...

That is a terrible voice for a Krogan.

Don't you know Mass Effect lore? Krogans speak as if they're reading off a piece of paper.

 

[broncobuster]

Considering a heavy component of Mass Effect is watching and hearing people talk, Andromeda kinda sucks in both those areas.

 

[oti]

WHAT IS UP WITH YOUR EYES LADY?
WHAT IS GOING OOOON?!?!

 

[Real Hero]

Just remove the writing and replace it with icons

Not really what you want to hear for a story game
