They will fix.
The question is whether it is worth playing after that for non-dedicated fans.

It's 3 AM here. I'm not going into this discussion right now. Especially if you also think NieR's quests are bad as well.
We'll just agree to disagree.

Why people think patches will fix everything?
Yeah same here.
Having played the 10 hour trial, game definitely has some bugs and graphical mishaps, but for the scope and feel of the game overall so far, I gotta give my experience somewhere in the 8.5 range.
I've been having a blast, and I can't wait to continue playing, and I've only just gotten to the Tempest.

So you get little exponents of dialogue but the quest itself is still no bueno. Like I said I'm only about 5-6 hours in but I've done a good handful of quests. So, unless they change drastically within the remaining 15 hours or so...
The lead writer of ME2 and ME3 was the creative director though.

That's because this is a medium that lets us have input. The entire series was built on the people playing it influencing the story. The arguments defending ME3 and saying the ending is art and shouldnt be changed never made sense to me anyway.
I understand defending the extended cut but the original ending was unacceptable. It was halfassed and unfinished, raised a ton of questions, and took away the the option many people felt their shepard would pick, to refuse. I still don't like the direction they took in extended cut, but I can respect that for at least being finished.

Yo what the actual fuck is this? Come on.
Who thinks that?
There are a ton of technical bugs that can be fixed.
Writing, design and animation will largely stay the same.
I am a fool and apparently can not embed an imgur gif to save my life. I was trying to link the classic shepard head spin gif, as her crazy neck movements reminded me of it.

Yea, it's not exactly enticing if they're saying the one thing I'd want an RPG to do well is not scratching that itch...
Absolutely false lol, even the more bland ones always at least have some cool or humorous dialogue attached to it. Meanwhile the most interesting sidequests in XV was what, the legendary weapons and the one that had you do the Sealed Dungeons, and you just go and kill some monsters. No story or interesting dialogue of any kind accompanied it.

Going to give it a couple of days to hear more overall impressions but since I was already really struggling to justify the cost of the game for myself right now (but it's Mass Effect! ;_
it looks likely I'll be cancelling my preorder.
The multiplayer might salvage the complete experience vs cost for me but I already have Overwatch/BF1/Rainbow Six siege sitting with too little gameplay for the cost that I don't really want to pay premium for a multiplayer atm.

Oh wow
If it doesn't sell well, EA/Bioware will do the minimum effort and mostly fix the worst bugs in single player and leave the project behind with some minor dedicated MP support to foster player transactions. My guess.

Damn, I was looking forward to playing it tonight. Going to read some reviews and then decide I guess.

I see what you did
Well, yeah, I still did them all except
Reconnaissance Squad
I agree that JRPGs, or even Japanese games in general, have a lot of room for improvement in the sidequest department (though from reviews it seems that Mass Effect is not the game to learn from). But Nier's stand out because the rest of the game was pretty solid.
On topic: I'm in for this. I doubt it will be a perfect experience but it seems that at least it will be unique.

Yeah, that question is actually more interesting to me than the game
Looks like you fixed the url, now just wrap it in IMG tags and it should embed the gif
I laugh out loud every time, it keeps catching me off guard.

Lol.
Know what I would love, though? A metacritic-like aggregator, but instead of simply taking the scores each outlet gives, it normalies all the scores that come from any given outlet so that they always average out to 50/100. So if an outlet's scores are normally distributed from 50-100, this aggregator would change them so they're normally distributed from 0-100. If that makes any sense. So each outlet's score for a given game is a reflection of where that outlet ranks that game relative to all other games on a full 100-point scale, and the overall "metascore" accurately reflects what percentile the game belongs to. Would be hilarious.

God damn it. Why do sci-fi games have to suffer... Deus Ex MD and now Mass Effect... come on..... Do we really need to wait for Cyberpunk to get another great masterpiece in sci fi rpg genre? Prey isnt technically an rpg but god I hope it turns out great..

MGS4, an early gen PS3 titles, animations blow this game out of the water x5000000.
A game which literally came out 9 years ago.
metal gear solid 3 which came out 13 years ago has better facial animations
I wanted to get this game because of the hilarious voice acting and animation, but my god. a 70 for a triple AAA title.

Eek. That looks painful.
Thanks.
Yeah same. The reviews are pretty damn disappointing, but I really enjoyed the trial despite problems.
