I played a little of the multiplayer, its neat! Feels floaty and the menus need to be overhauled and bronze seemed way too lethal even for fresh characters but still fun
jankiness aside, I'm still really stoked for this game.

Did Sur-Kesh in my ME3 last hurrah, hoo boy am I going to have to steel myself for all the renegade decisions I made leading up to this point... and will have to make.

I don't care about the jankiness so much, my main concern is I checked out the writing credits, and that's basically all a new team as well. 2/3 lead writers have writing credits on ME3, neither as lead, and none of the lead writers wrote in the first two games.
Checking the twitter of a few Bioware people I know or follow, it looks like the entire Edmonton team stayed with Dragon Age.
That doesn't mean that the new writers can't be good, but we're venturing into unknown territory. Which I guess fits kinda thematically? I'll give the new team a shot, and that will determine whether I come back for Andromeda 2 or whatever.

Yeah I didn't much think of it at the time because Bioware is such a big studio, but looking back, a LOT of Mass Effect writers left after 3.
For me it was super laggy, many disconnects, and occasional freezes. The UI/UX is terrible. The sound bugs occasionally. The inability to mute by default and the difficulty in actually muting people.
But still... I had a lot of fun when I actually was able to navigate all that stuff. Asari Adept is a hell of a lot of fun.

My favourite writer is still there, but on DA for the foreseeable future.
I wonder if they plan on focusing on one franchise per studio, or if shifting Mass Effect to Montreal will free Edmonton up to try something new in between Dragon Ages
I'm still pretty optimistic about this game, they seem to have gone for the spirit of the first game with the combat of 3, which is almost ideal. Poor facial animations have always been a thing with Bioware and it sounds like the quality varies a fair bit rather than it all being as bad as the recent clips suggest
Also I'm looking forward to trying the multiplayer, as it looks fun and I never got around to playing it in the last game
Does the multiplayer have those gacha boxes like the ME3 multiplayer did? If so, are they as bad?
Yes
Probably not quite as bad?

Starting the single player a little bit
I may go back and restart with the default name, having my dad, my sister, and the friends I left the galaxy with not call me by my first name doesn't feel right
especially since I left her as Sarah so they all say her name just fine
fake edit subtitles at the top of the screen what hell is this

Yes. But, credit payouts feel more generous, and there's the Item Shop where you can spend Mission Funds you earn through playing special challenge matches or sending out AI-controlled squads on them like a Facebook game, where you can buy specific items.

Not being able to buy specific things was my main issue with ME3's multi, if that system is fair then I will be very happy indeed.

As far as I can tell it is impossible to know how far back the last auto save was unless you actually see the auto save notification (which I never did)
There is an option to load latest save but I didn't click it because I wasn't sure when the last auto save was and I was worried it wouldn't tell me how far back it was and I'd lose a bunch of time

Don't worry, people are quick to rush to respond to that tweet that they're lying, and that makes it okay for them to harass that lady. (Come on, you knew it was a lady being harassed.)

I'm always sad that my super low opinion of the people on the internet keeps finding new barrels to dig.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
It is just so frustrating that there is such a vocal component of the Internet that is determined to keep it a hostile shitty place full of shitty people.
Like, it's a fucking video game, why do you need to be a jackass about it

From what I can gather, someone (I think /v/ or twitter, unsure) found one of the head animator's LinkedIn profiles and people have been trying to get others to harras her.
Although, like I said, this could be a multitude of possible targets :sad: The way people on that Tweet are responding, I think it's more diversity hating this time more than just animation, so I dunno who it is.

There's a guy on the ME team that has said some aggressive things about white privilege which of course means he hates white people.

I cracked and bought it, because I guess stubbornness. I still have a lot of problems with this game. One of which is, separate from the animations, voice acting, really really bad attempts at representation, stupid first person space travel that depicts the entire Andromeda galaxy as the size of a small fraction of the previous galaxy maps
I'm running an i7-6700k with 16GB ram and dual 980's in SLI with liquid CPU cooling, and Eos is full of frame lag on high settings but looks like an expansion of Me1 where they just maybe slightly increased the texture resolution.

Gonna do a little bit of the story I think

So I decided between the 3 platforms and preordered the Deluxe Edition for XBone the other day, mostly based on the groups I'm going to multi with.
