LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:yeah but that's not what the stock photo stuff is complaining about. Backwards gun is fuckin funny and looks real bad for them, using a stock photo and doctoring it for the tali picture that has a lenseflare on it anyway so you can barely see jack poo poo doesn't matter. You're kind of a dweeb if you post that poo poo like you've solved a murder mystery and caught Bioware in the act of hiding the body. But its lazy as gently caress regardless of the creepy obsesive fans.

Really puts into perspective how ridiculously compressed the timeline is. Hackett was high school age when the prothean archives on mars were discovered. He would've spent his youth believing that meeting aliens and FTL were impossibilities. Then he would've only just graduated by the time the first extrasolar colonies went up. hexal fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Mar 11, 2017 |

i think she's holding the gun backwards to lower everyone's expectations of this game so when it comes out and its merely mediocre everyone will think it's good

DoctorGonzo posted:But its lazy as gently caress regardless of the creepy obsesive fans. Not really? Like, until someone posted it here, I didn't even know that you could fully see the tali picture without the glare, and I know I'm not alone in that. To be honest, I'm glad that's a place where they phone it in, just because it pisses off the creepy obsessives and we get to point and laugh at them for being creepy obsessives about this poo poo, so congratulations on outing yourself, I guess. Note, barons cyber skull is doing god's work in finding the backwards gun and 2d wrist animation stuff, because that poo poo is genuinely hilarious. Please be more like him and Save This Thread from Itself.

The backwards gun is a pretty huge blunder tbh, especially since it's visible in pre-release material which should all be hyper polished. Animations twisting the animation rig like that wrist stuff is also a bad indication that they didn't really have time to polish that aspect of the game at all because that's also a huge blunder for a studio like this

Some things look odd when you go frame by frame = disaster ahead I think the gun thing is hilariously embarrassing too, but I think it's the kind of thing that can be forgotten about after we've had a good snicker. Extrapolating from that about the amount of care taken with the game is silly.

But it is absolutely hilarious and dumb, the people that QA'd that have gotta be feeling pretty dumb about that in addition to the animator(s) that did that part.

It's a weird choice, but equalising coverage between the sexes in terms of marketing materials isn't a bad thing. Will it literally just be the same trailer again with the Ryders swapped out?

A one off photo of someone you never see on screen is pretty much what stock photos are for. The real issue is making Tali look like an attractive human rather than a hideous alien abomination.

Even looking at the freeze frame I didn't see it, until someone literally said it was the wrong way.

Captain Oblivious posted:What is arguing backwards towards a predetermined conclusion to lessen cognitive dissonance, Alex. It's more that when I look at how lazy it is to use a stock photo for Tali versus people pointing at it as the earmark of Bioware being a poo poo developer, I'm pretty firmly on the side of "this poo poo does not matter, especially in the light of all the other poo poo they've done, have you seen the backwards gun thing?" It's like arguing that a table being out of place is important when it's on the Titanic. edit: it doesn't help that whenever anyone brings up Tali in any fashion, the first thing I think of is the Tali sweat thing, so I'm already predisposed to assuming whatever they're going to say is creepily obsessive.

Animations twisting the animation rig like that wrist stuff is also a bad indication that they didn't really have time to polish that aspect of the game at all because that's also a huge blunder for a studio like this The backwards gun footage was probably captured from a dev-build that has not gone through the QA pipeline yet. It probably went like this: *Busy day in marketing...* Ashley: Hey Bobby, we're doing a feature on Peebee. Can you check with dev to see if we can get some cool footage of her? Bobby: Sure. *Bobby gets in touch with dev, and they pair him up with Jack, a junior developer. Jack launches the daily dev-build he has on his machine and he and Bobby sit down and go through some of the footage featuring Peebee.* Bobby: Oooh, this one looks cool! Do you think you can get me a recording of this? Jack: Sure, you'll have it in a bit. Yes, it is a blunder from a marketing perspective, but a) it's kind of a minor thing that the overwhelming majority of viewers would not have noticed until it was explicitly pointed out b) it's not a reason to worry unless the bug has actually made it to the release build I do agree with you on the overall quality of animations though. There is enough issues there to be a genuine cause for concern, at least if one cares about that kind of stuff in vidya games.

Why does the timeline show a "Shepard failed and the Reapers won" option unless that's literally the canon ending to explain why Harbinger shows up at the end of Andromeda and says "EMBRACE ETERNITY FUCKFACES"

I'm normally pretty compulsive when it comes to getting all the sidequests done - Especially in a BioWare game where a minor sidequest can come back in an interesting way later. DA:I broke me of that habit, though, because my loving god the endless portals and collectibles that artificially bloated the playtime was absolutely shameless. It ground me down, and I gave up on that game. I know I finished it, I remember thinking the conclusion seemed clunky from an animation standpoint, but I'll be damned if I can remember what actually happened.
