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.

Supposedly Ryder was gonna be more 'untested', with something to prove compared to Shepard.

But this instant Pathfinder awe from the people on the Nexus is just.....ugh.

[repeater]

Mass Effect is now fake news

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

YIKES

My takeaway so far is save the money and get Nier instead

 

[Hurt and Scared]

OMG 😂

 

[Data West]

maybe he means art direction.

is brad on drugs

 

[Teddified]

haha he's so high

 

[Macho Madness]

LOOK AT THE TABLE

 

[Twin Tails]

He looks like he is not blinking but closing and opening his eyes.

 

[Xater]

Didn't they also work forever on this game. It must have been 4+ years.

 

[kingocfs]

They all look like they're reading cue cards.

 

[ta155]

I played ME1 last month and the faces and general standard of animation in this Andromeda stream look absolutely terrible in comparison.

 

[TharpDaddy]

This has to be a weird, broken pre-release build... right? BioWare please release a miracle patch.

I thought DA:I took the Bioware savior trope and had fun with it.

This seems right back to normal. Space Jesus RETURNS!

 

[mnz]

DA:I definitely didn't look weird like that

Oh and tumblr seems to love the guy in this gif...

 

[Zaph]

How did this happen? They had a very generous dev cycle

Yeah, I tuned in when the guys talked to that stiff-as-a-board-turian NPC whose husband is "the first murderer in Andromeda" thing and the way she fawned about the pathfinder was just...why?

The idea of being seen as an untested rookie would've been a bit welcome, compared to Shepard. But feels like damn near everyone's falling to their knees around Ryder.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I just started to actually get a bit of excitement to play Mass Effect again and then blam this stream has knocked those thoughts right out of my head.

 

[Chumley]

WOW what the FUCK is happening right now

There are already so many fucking bugs in this thing

This is a disaster

 

[Data West]

no one told jeff female ryder looks even worse huh

 

[BUNTING1243]

hey at least this will drive a lot of sales of mass effect 2

i know what i'm buying instead of this

 

[LiK]

the jank is gonna kill this game.

 

[ElectronicOldMen]

this game's version of the indoctrination theory is gonna be something like that the entire andromeda galaxy is filled with weed smoke which is why everyone looks high all the time

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE HAIR

[KingKong]

its really amazing how fake those glowing previews and first impressions were when you see what the game actually plays like

Why does Mass Effect have to be the only major space RPG...

 

[Mr. F]

In space nobody can hear you struggle to maintain eye contact

 

[Twin Tails]

Good with guns
Wink wink

 

[Catvoca]

I had some pretty low expectations of what I expect from a Bioware game to make me enjoy it and this is is still bumming me the fuck out.

PC gamer did a discussion article with their staff that I just made it pretty bad too.

 

[Strimei]

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE HAIR

Trying to distract us from the plastic face and cold fish eyes.

Like, jesus, is there any emoting at all?

 

[Felix Lighter]

It's all hibernation sickness. It explains the random blur.

 

[CrazyDude]

DA:I definitely didn't look weird like that

Oh and tumblr seems to love the guy in this gif...

 

[Hurt and Scared]

This bootleg ass Nolan North

omg it totally is

 

[Macho Madness]

 

[Real Hero]

Like i know people love mass effect, but if this wasn't called mass effect what would people be excited about?

 

[TharpDaddy]

hey at least this will drive a lot of sales of mass effect 2

i know what i'm buying instead of this

I heard Alex Navarro of giant bomb dot com is a megafan and has some copies

Like i know people love mass effect, but if this wasn't called mass effect what would people be excited about?

Having a new Mass Effect-style game.

 

[Chumley]

Reminder that this game came out 13 years ago

This bootleg ass Nolan North

Might as well call this entire game bootleg Mass Effect

 

[D4Danger]

👌👈

 

[SandwichMeat]

Spectres are cool dudes

Pathfinders do not seem like they are cool dudes

 

[Weetrick]

I hate that every (male) video game main character sounds the same.

 

[Data West]

Why does Mass Effect have to be the only major space RPG...

Depends on what you mean by major but there is that Inquisitor game

Why does Mass Effect have to be the only major space RPG...

Maaaaaan, if you put it like that...

 

[TharpDaddy]

Okay I like the galaxy map music! I really like Mass Effect's music

 

[killroy87]

There were a lot of problems with DA:I, but the visuals weren't one of them. Game looked gorgeous.

 

[Real Hero]

I heard Alex Navarro of giant bomb dot com is a megafan and has some copies



Having a new Mass Effect-style game.

Yeah but specifically what? Not a single thing in this stream has looked particularly​ good.

you vs the guy she told you not to worry about

 

[No_Style]

Probe launched. <3

This lack of polish reminds of the first Mass Effect when it debuted. Unforgivable in 2017.
