Solid meh so far they were very brave to let people try before you buy.

I vaguely respect them for throwing out a pre-release demo. I mean most of that respect goes away when you remember it was behind a $5 paywall.

Keep thinking of Ryder from San Andreas, smoking sherm, being an rear end in a top hat and looking like Eazy-E.

Anyway this game kind of looks like crap.

there are so many scenarios that would work better than what actually happens in this game, and this is yet another one of them.

aint gonna comment on story or characters yet but the bitching about animations has so far been completely ridiculous from what I've seen of the game. They're easily on par with any other Mass Effect and in many cases better. A lot of the lolgifs never even happened in my game, like the stairswalk thing and the one thing I did see, the blue asari weirdface, lasted for about one third of a second

It's also not something they specifically chose to do for this game, it's a general origin access perk.

So it's not so much that they decided to let us play early, as it is that they avoided excluding the game from the early access policy in order to hide the flaws until it was too late

Are most of these clips coming from the PC version or something? Not that "my game is full of goofy animation poo poo because of bugs/they didn't test it on my video card" or whatever is really any more excusable on a AAA title, but I just didn't see any of this stuff on Xbox. I spent the entire opening sequence waiting to see the poop pants walk, the zombie eyes, or the lips that look like everybody has an industrial fan blowing out of their mouth, and all I got was the same awkward stuff that's in every Bioware game.

played like 3 hours of multiplayer yesterday because i am not starting the story when i can't finish it. have to run the game at literally lowest everything and 720p resolution scaling, but it runs on my very, very old rig with a radeon 6950. though if a game gets tossed to me to host, i will bounce because it will not be fun times. single player looks like it will be just playable til i can afford to upgrade in the summer.

love the multiplayer. love the smaller maps, the vertical and horizontal jump jets at a lot to the gameplay, and enemies have interesting mechanics. the way they did skills opens up a lot of interesting ways to play and combinations. played a human infiltrator to level 10, running sniper/shotgun was fun as hell. rattling off headshots and carrying bad players.

i hit 100k mp monies and bought a platinum pack, got the ultra rare angara avenger who has a super cool teleport backstab skill. also has a stealth field which i imagine is real good with a coordinated team. don't like that he has two skills that use power cells, that seems less than optimal.

i did play like half an hour of story and i liked what i saw of it. definitely seems to be a slow start, but thankfully the system of having 4 specs for your character and respecs whenever will mean i won't feel the need to start a new game constantly.

I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary during my playthrough except for the death-stare from the person running the nexus. Constantly scanning poo poo got old very fast. Very similar mechanic to the resource pinging garbage from DA:I.

This isn't a compliment. This game should blow any of the other MEs out of the water in every measurable way visually.

You can pre-mission and at those drop pod outposts. The inventory menu option was greyed out in the tutorial mission.

This went from pre-order, to Gamefly, to Redbox in record pace. I just can't justify paying for this when I didn't pay for Nier Automata. This doesn't seem like a Horizon situation.

They still might get some money from me for lootboxes. Has anyone posted what they are offering and for how much yet?

Jaal and his whole species are one of the best examples of the lack of talent and skill evident in this game. Like, I'm sure development has been poo poo and rushed and hellish, but there's still a lack of honest talent at work in so much of this game, it's visuals and aesthetics especially. Most of the good stuff is just recycled from the original trilogy but these new alien designs, enemies included, are just so incredibly poor. While you could always criticise Mass Effect for being a little bit unimaginative with their alien designs considering the medium and how it essentially allows you to make whatever you want instead of bipedal humanoid, designs like the Salarians, the Krogan, the Turians especially and even the Volus are all great. There is nothing good or redeeming about Jaal and his species, they look like complete poo poo. The Kett are not much better either.
