How were most previews positive?

The catering was really good.

 

[Antiwhippy]

The day Guerrilla does better facial animations than BioWare has happened.

Wait, was this ever a comparison?

Bioware's animation wasn't exactly top tier at any point of their inception.

 

[VeryGooster]

man I can't wait for the first "of course Jeff 'I hate Bioware' Gerstmann hates it he's a sellout" post

Is "Jeff is so jaded" still a thing around these parts?

 

[TharpDaddy]

RPS made the planets sound like Inquisition, meaning awful.

I didn't mind Inquisition's zones, it was the combat that ended up boring me too much.

 

[LiK]

Wait, was this ever a comparison?

Bioware's animation wasn't exactly top tier at any point of their inception.

They were acceptable and kinda subtle. But man, this looks goofy after I checked in for a few min.

 

[J_Viper]

This looks like Mars War Logs

Over under 2.5 stars for the Giantbomb review of this Mass Effect

 

[imBask]

can anyone check in with Vinny to make sure he's alright

 

[CrazyDude]

Looks worse than Inquestion. Like I don't get how the animation and the look of this game can be worse than a cross gen game.

What's with the lack of music so far, too? Maybe I missed it since I tuned in late but thus far-oh there it is finally slightly kicking in.

 

[LiK]

CUT IT!

Is Brad doing the review? I expect save 3 stars.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I have seen better looking amature projects come out of Source Filmmaker

 

[Moppeh]

Over under 2.5 stars for the Giantbomb review of this Mass Effect

Brad is reviewing this, right?

Imma say he gives it a 3/5.

 

[Macho Madness]

Just looks so... bleh

 

[mnz]

Over under 2.5 stars for the Giantbomb review of this Mass Effect

So far, this looks like a textbook 3 star game.

 

[VeryGooster]

Stealth Nissan marketing

 

[SictorVullivan]

uhhh those faces

 

[Curufinwe]

whoever said demo derby should go out east is so wrong it hurts

I wonder if Vinny or Alex played TR games in the 90s. It's hard for me to believe with how big they were that no one at GB played them back in the day on the PS1 or PC and knows you need to use the D-pad.

 

[oti]

Is this what VR games look like?

 

[J_Viper]

It's sad that Mass Effect was the combo breaker to this year's great releases

 

[D4Danger]

 

[TharpDaddy]

Just looks so... bleh

He looks drugged out of his damn mind

 

[Teddified]

that blur lol

 

[Askherserenity]

What is going on

 

[Strimei]

That foggy face thing keeps coming back.

 

[Macho Madness]

oh my god I thought the video quality is bad but apparently the textures actually look that bad

 

[SandwichMeat]

what the fuck literally checking the youtube settings to see if the stream dropped to 240p or some shit

 

[VeryGooster]

oooooooof

 

[cb1115]

dude what the fuck happened to this game

 

[Hurt and Scared]

🤢 those faces

 

[Hindl]

And this is on the PS4 PRO!

 

[danm999]

I thought my connection went to shit but then Jeff is like it's bad on their end...?

 

[Data West]

"aside from the models the game looks great"

is brad on drugs

 

[oti]

GB is obviously not showing off this game accurately. Maybe they should move closer to the TV.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

I wonder what happens if bioware forgets to tell their fans how special they are for five minutes? Thankfully we'll never find out

 

[LiK]

"aside from the models the game looks great"

maybe he means art direction.

 

[Mr. F]

Foggy faces mod

 

[VeryGooster]

And this is on the PS4 PRO!

And someone in NFL GAF said it supposedly doesn't run that hot on Xbox One

 

[TharpDaddy]

I think the environment looks fine so far. It's not mind blowing, but I expect it'll look pretty nice once they're on planets if Inquisition is anything to go by. That game still looks fantastic on max settings.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Uuuuuuhhh....what is happening right now.
I'm 3 minutes behind

 

[killroy87]

And this is on the PS4 PRO!

Came in late, was going to ask.

Jesus. This game is uuuuuugly.

 

[Strimei]

Yeah that masturbatory "you're so special" thing is wearing real thin. Made sense for Shepard, especially if you chose specific backgrounds (always went Lone Survivor, myself) and as time went on, but as they point out, it feels like these people are putting a lot of weight behind this "pathfinder" gig.

Imma say he gives it a 3/5.

If it's Brad I would say 4 stars.

 

[kai3345]

mass effect looks rooooough

 

[Keyser Soze]

And someone in NFL GAF said it supposedly doesn't run that hot on Xbox One

Game Informer played Xbox One yesterday. The framerate is combat looks like it hits about 15FPS at time.

 

[SandwichMeat]

yea ill watch the proper quick look but i think im gonna wait and pick up the like version with all DLC packed in on a flash sale in like 1.5 years

 

[Kimaka]

I played Femshep so I am used to Bioware's janky animations and they were never amazing in that department, but this is jarringly bad. I wonder if it is just bothering me a lot more after seeing other developers improve a lot this gen while Andromeda looks marginally better than the other Mass Effects.

brad's been taking dota straight through the needle for years now
