I intend to only hang out with cool aliens because dumb humans can suck it.

The alien babes can also suck it, but I'd probably be playing a girl since everyone loved Femshep so much.

games never let u have long hair since clipping into your armour & shoulders in cutscenes is considered bad since nerds willl give out about yr poo poo rigging. Witcher 3 let u have long geralt hair and that clipped all the time, more games should b like witcher 3 and let u have long clipping hair
Aloy in Horizon: Zero Dawn has long hair and it looks fantastic. Still clips through gear but it's hard to care.

-characters have this glassy eye stare which perfectly encapsulates the fact they are 600 years from home
-characters don't look at Ryder during conversations, making it clear just how uncomfortable they find dad Ryder's nepotism

Everything I've seen has been pretty positive about it. There are two reddit threads by people who played at PAX here and here. There's also a lovely video someone took over the shoulder of someone playing here.

Contacting the artist and sending contracts and poo poo would be a lot more work than just launching the game and taking a new picture.

I don't know how much creative ownership someone can claim for pushing the screenshot button in a game Bioware made. It's hella funny though.

I asked if it was frustrating to spend 5 years on a video game, toiling away, putting their hearts and souls in to characters, gameplay, story and environments, just to have fans explode with negativity about Sarah Ryder's face, and they almost unanimously said "yes" or "I avoid the internet for these reasons" :) Keep in mind the devs are people too, guys.

The Grunt one is ingame screenshot so I don't know why people are complaining about it (I mean grabbing someone's screenshot is lazy but its Bioware so whatever), but the Liara one is someone's art render using Blender and not ingame footage, so they basically took someone's SFM scene

The ESRB rating summary is out!

quote:

This is an action role-playing game in which players lead humanity to a new home across the galaxy. As players explore various planets, they use futuristic weapons (e.g., laser rifles, Cryo-beams, shotguns) and special abilities (e.g., concussive blasts, telekinetic pushes) to combat hostile alien races. Battles are frenetic, highlighted by realistic gunfire, explosions, and screams of pain; enemies sometimes emit splashes of blood when hit. During the course of the game, the central character can develop relationships with crew members and engage in brief sexual encounters with them. These brief sequences (couplings) depict sensual caresses, sexual moaning, and hip gyrations; characters' breasts and/or buttocks are sometimes exposed for prolonged periods. The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” can be heard in the dialogue.

Don't gently caress this up dontnod

dotnods pretty good least with story, though personally i couldn't stand life is strange(i liked alot of the ideas and themes, but Chloe was lovely loving person(yeah i know it was intentional and real reasons why) and the game making her the center of attention was annoying.) but vampyr looks great and remember me was interesting.
