It's interesting how people complain about ME3 but seems to be totally fine with that silly gigantic, alien-human-skeleton thing from the end of ME2.

Milky Moor posted:not anymore! Bioware has never really been good at "grounded". Oh sure they'll try to keep things low key for a game or two (see Dragon Age) but inevitably they'll be unable to help themselves, throw caution to the wind and go More Fantastical and More Save The World (Galaxy).

Milky Moor posted:Then ME2 comes out and you can use your omni-tool to freeze people or blow them up or summon a holographic drone that can somehow still hurt people and biotics basically become magic with stuff like Charge and Nova with their big blue teleporting explosions. And then ME3 doubles down on all that and gives Shepard an energy punch-sword and, okay, sure, whatever, guys. I get what you're trying to say but this is a video game and this kind of poo poo is far more fun when you're actually playing it.

Yeah I didn't care much for the proto-reaper either but it was sort of explained why that existed in 3.

I think the changes they made, including the heat sinks, were really good for the gameplay and certainly made biotics and tech more fun to play and interesting to watch.

I liked the baby Reaper. If I had my way more things in this series would look like Gradius bosses.

The sludge-terminator-fetus was a neat change of pace for the end of the suicide mission. ME needs more bosses that aren't just tougher soldiers or vehicles.

Fade in, Bioware Studios: A person sits behind a desk, while two other people watch him mashing a barbie doll painted blue into a ken doll with the word "BISEXUAL" written on its chest. "MAKE IT THIS" the masher screams, over and over.

When I first played ME2, I found the Reaper Baby dumb, but overtime I've grown to kind of love it for how ridiculous it was.

I must say, I've quite enjoyed Bioware's stock answer of "Oh, yeah, we're gonna fix that" whenever we see the lovely animation. Like, just man up and say "lol we've hit our skill limits on the animations". C'mon Bioware, you're not fooling anybody.

Actually, witcher 3 had half more again than ME3's 40 million budget. Still EA should have had the talent to leverage that 40 million, and they just didn't, in so many ways.

Yeah The Witcher 3 had a shitload of money put into it and was also developed for a later generation of consoles than ME3. Doesn't excuse some of the sloppiness with Andromeda though.

Bioware has always had bad animations and I don't really understand why at this point. Did they just keep the same core of animators who, for some reason, never developed their craft? Or is their work schedule so poorly managed that they simply can not create good animations in time for launch, even though they have had half a decade to work on this poo poo by now?

They know another 4 months on animations and another $10m won't ship extra units because people are going to buy it anyway so they can get their bioware mutant sex fix. A lot of people itt have preordered which boggles my mind.

The past four or five bioware games had trash animation that's rivalled by Bethesda so I can't say I'm surprised, but also: lmao.

ME1's animations and cinematography were pretty good for the time. I was certainly drawn in to the game because of the pre-release videos. Unfortunately, it seems like they've slipped a bit since then. Too little time, losing too much talent, or unable to keep improving and keep pace with the market - whatever the cause, the result is some good animations/framing with a lot of janky ones. Also, yes - The Witcher III is a generation-defining title.

The ME animation budget was spent on more important things like breast physics for the sex scenes and (if bioware are progressive enough) dong physics. The rest of the game is just a framework to hang their dating simulator on.

I quite like the Tempest, it's nicely sleek and fits with the ME aesthetic. But... every time the Tempest lands, the ramp opens because that's part of the landing gear? That seems less than secure.
