I expect the game to have good art design and gameplay, but still have rough animations and a less compelling story than ME1. Pair that with multiplayer and I'll be more than happy.
Of course, no matter the actual state of the game, the edgelord crew will continue to post about how much the game sucks.

And yea I don't expect another Doom. That game looked incredibly mediocre pre-launch and turned out to be the best SP shooter of the year

The same edgelords posting about how much they know the game is going to suck gets pretty old.

You should see the people raging about how the female characters aren't attractive enough.

It's not surprising though SA games threads always get super hyped and turn on anyone saying anything negative in the three weeks leading up to release.

Bullshit. Plenty of people are posting negative things and no one cares. It's the hyperbolic, "LOL THIS GAME GONNA BLOW GUYS" that provoke reactions, because it's the same tiresome nonsense.

I want multiplayer but I also want to gently caress aliens

Can we get PvP alien romancing where we both try to pick up the same sentient amorphous monstrosity at an alien bar and it's a battle of wits?

I think there's a pretty clear reason for that, and it's performance issues that made them not want to show it off early. We'll see very soon, before launch, whether those issues are still around or not.

The character had been seen several times already looking basically normal, and only ever seemed overly short in that dumb cosplay guide everyone overanalyzed.

But everyone overanalyzed the gently caress out of it because they're starved for things to talk about, so...

Because the actual gameplay on non-dev builds has been pretty smooth? Optimization is always one of the last things that gets nailed down anyway - pre-launch performance isn't actually an amazing indicator- see Dishonored 2.

my uncle who works at Nintendo (brother-in-law who works at arkane) will swear to his dying day that snafu was nvidia releasing broken drivers the days before dishonored 2 and the driver update they released afterwards was a rollback and i haven't a family member installed in bioware handy to consult

So Killer is Dead style creep on an alien when they aren't looking, barking out exposition and god knows what while you look elsewhere between the 20 minute cutscene?

You haven't actually read my posts have you? I literally said we'll see whether they have nailed it down before release, so you won't actually have to guess. They've confirmed the EA Access version is the launch version with the day 1 patch.
