Ok what really bugs me about this more than the other stuff, is why the hell is that woman looking in a completely direction after hitting him in the face with a glass? Like if you are gonna hit a giant space frog in the face maybe keep your eyes on him.

I like mass effect a lot why is this happening :smith:

this is the gift that keeps on giving. in addition to the already pointed out:
  • disinterested gaze of the woman
  • krogan missing the headbutt
  • no chair
  • bottle on the table breaking (not breaking)

i just noticed that the lady isn't holding the bottle by the neck but by the body. she's slamming a glass bottle into someone's face with the palm of her hand

There should be another topic about people actually playing the game and wanting to discuss it versus people bitching about animations from twitch

I am currently playing it. My take: it's not great. The jetjump is sort of fun and I'm really happy to be unshackled from linear shooter corridors... but predictably the actual shooting gameplay is much worse when that's the case.

That's the nicest thing I can say about it, everything else - writing, animations, pacing - is a straight downgrade from ME3, which is genuinely baffling to me. Like, seriously, what happened?

I bet I'll enjoy the game but it's pretty loving noteworthy that a AAA title in 2017 has such utter trash animation quality going on. Like, look at that Krogan gif. What the gently caress is even going on there, between the weird exploding bottle on the table, to the invisible chair, to WHATEVER the gently caress is going on in the mind of the woman who just smashed a bottle on a Krogan's face. What the gently caress?

I'm not liking the feel of the starting guns EXCEPT for the pistol to be honest. I hope it gets remedied though when you get access to more guns.

I don't know what it is, maybe there is something wrong with me. I'm watching the streams and reading the reviews and...I just cannot think the game is bad. Beyond the animation twitches, I'm legit invested in the story and characters. People keep pointing out these supposedly dire make-or-break issues and I just think..."uh, that's not so bad. What's wrong with that?" I still think the game looks good.

What...what do I do?

I've said it before but I'll say it again. This is all poo poo from the promo material EA specifically said people could show and talk about. From the start of the game where they're going to have put the most polish into to make sure the game looks good at release. Some people have said the story picks up but I'll bet the number of glitches and wonkiness also picks up the further into the game you get.

Almost none of the people criticizing the game are using their own gifs, all of them are from twitter or twitch. Many of it's biggest critics said they cancelled their pre-order.

Think of people reacting the way you did here, only they're watching the game. That's how it is.

I am going to get this game at some point, but it is now way down my list of things to play. I go through games pretty slowly now so I hope it will be $20 by the time I get around to it. It's fine if you enjoy the game. I enjoyed DA: I even though a lot of things didn't make sense. However I would have preferred the sort of wild-rear end ride that ME was.

Part of it seems to be that the Frostbite tech they're using just isn't up to 2017 standards (Aloy blows any single character in this game out of the water, and it's not like the HZD engine doesn't struggle with convincing facial animations in places), but I'd put a lot of money on the rest of it simply being an inexperienced team using unfamiliar tools.
