IGN, the site that has posted all those heavily sponsored [FIRST] videos, says "game is extremely buggy, hard to play because of them"

It was also a pre-release build and by that point there was a month to buff out those bugs, and maybe make Day-One patches

With five years for development I am a bit mystified as to why the game is looking so janky this far along in the process. If it was their first Frostbite game I could see it, but with DA: I already under their belt I'd have thought they'd be more accustomed to working with the engine.

It's not a mystery... they're just not very good. But... they're the only ones doing goofy space opera poo poo, plus krogan, plus rad as gently caress guns... so wutevs.

Some people wanna get all angsty and carepost about that poo poo, some people are fun-havers. Together, we build a community.

Andromeda has totally lacked focus from day one so it's not surprising to see it manifest in every aspect of its production.

The gun-backwards thing is a fairly tiny (and hilarious) bug. It's telling that the criticism of the shown footage has pretty much devolved to that.
Also, all of the demos/ people playing the MP at PAX seem to point to performance being fine. The performance definitely was janky at that press event, but that was 100% an older build and appears not to be the case in the current build

Got hype over and andromeda so started a new play through of 3. I now realize how much better the game would of been if Anderson let you fall to your death and it was just the multiplayer game.

hot take: it won't matter because it's a video game, who gives a poo poo. buy it and play it or don't. having strong feelings about it is something to be legtimately ashamed of.

You're right. The many hard locks, blue screens and missing textures in the release version of Boiling Point: Road to Hell didn't stop it being a great game.

It also didn't stop it being a buggy as poo poo game months after release mind you.

information and shared experiences. the podcast bit about the game being buggy as gently caress is informative. i'm still gonna buy it though.

Also I don't know how we've jumped from animation problems to the game being incredibly broken.
The livestream wasn't broken, the MP people are playing right now isn't broken.

By the same IGN reviewer who people are quoting.

quote:

Every single facet of the multiplayer looked great (especially since we were playing in 4K) and ran smoothly, too, which was comforting considering how buggy Andromeda’s single player was when I tried it out a few weeks ago.

KOTOR?

Mass Effect is basically "oh we can't use the Star Wars IP anymore? Well gently caress you!" the game.

its not really hard to see why when Bioware's been hemorrhaging talent and programmers to other companies or indies such as Banner Saga. EA may not let us see the current staff, but I'm sure that number's fluxed over remaining talent and what not that will maybe even take out the people that learned something from DA:I and bring in fresh faced drones with no experience on them to toil on Andromeda, a game that seems to barely have some sort of exploration focus even now, five years later and only being advertised a few weeks before release. In 10 days we'll know just how good their launch build is and if everything they're bringing to the table actually works or only detracts from what should be a simple space opera RPG with no real competition to it other than even worse failures like No Mans Whatever.

Prey lets you become anything your abilities will allow and it is the superior game. If only it wasn't Bethesda making it, I'd probably buy it.

Bethesda is the publisher. Arkane, I believe, are the ones making it. The Dishonored guys.

Sorry. I won't sully the thread about that game where you gently caress the blue space aliens that all look like 18 year old girls with massive tits with fantasy rubbish ever again.

From now on, I'll only talk about the works of Arthur C. Clarke and Stanislaw Lem. In a serious voice. While smoking a pipe.
