Hi, I'm the 15fps with a 100ºC CPU goon. I changed the thermal paste and cleaned the cooler and my fps in Andromeda went from 15 to +100 with everything on low, I didn't have time to try it on high. So, thanks everyone for saving my computer from exploding.

Got 6 hours in on the SP this morning, presumably getting close to the trial block. Playing on Ultra at 1440p with a 980ti, i5 6600K, 16 gig of RAM. Might have to knock it down to 1080p, because I've definitely gotten some frame drops here and there. Eyes and face animations are indeed not good. Not as hilariously awful and noticeable as you'd expect based on the various .gifs going around. Maybe 70-80% of the time, they look passable in motion. Not notably good, just good enough. But then you hit a bad one, and boy howdy is it  It obviously suffers in comparison to Witcher 3, but also Horizon: Zero Dawn and even DAI. As others have mentioned, it's mostly the Asari and humans, Krogan/Turians/Salarians have all been fine.It wouldn't be too hard to overlook that, if the first six hours of plot, missions, characters, dialogue/VA etc. didn't all feel like a tepid ME1 knockoff. I feel hooked into none of it. I wouldn't call it actively bad, per se, it's just bland as gently caress. It's notable in its blandness. Despite the range in quality overall, every ME and DA game has had something within the first six hours that hooked my attention. The only bit that has piqued my interest at all so far was meeting Vetra -- she seems like she might be an interesting character. Liam is aggressively boring. Cora's not shown much one way or another. Just met Peebee. She was... okay. Still early to judge, but her first impression wasn't half as bad as Sera's in DAI. I don't mind the Pathfinder thing that some people were complaining about. It's not exactly nepotism, and it's not exactly "Chosen One" poo poo (yet), and it's also made clear early on that Pathfinders are important and not just some Joe Schmo due to the level of integration with an AI. It's not a fresh, unique story or anything, but so far those complaints don't feel quite accurate. Can't decide whether the various UIs/menus are just standard level bad or actual garbage. Leaning toward the latter. Combat is fun and better than ME3, but not as smooth as I'd hoped. Jump jets and soft cover both feel like two steps forward, one step back. Not sure whether it'll smooth out with more time to adjust or not. Also, I rebound two powers to my side mouse buttons during a bit of downtime, and then couldn't shoot guns in the next fight. Died three times before I figured out that the rebinding broke shooting, somehow. That was cool. Anyway, game mediocre. I'd call it a 6.5 - 7 so far. It's not a NMS-level trainwreck, but there's a whole lot of valid criticism of this. It should be much better after five years of development and releasing in TYOOL 2017. Most or all of it also isn't stuff fixable by a day 1 patch or DLC -- I don't even think an extra 6 - 12 months would have helped, really. This just feels like a mediocre sequel where no one on the development team had any passion for this project whatsoever. Some of it is bad, most is passable, but nothing about it shines. Edit: Berious posted:Remember when RPS said the game wasn't good and the internet wrote paragraphs about how they are wrong and the game will be good? I bet the internet is feeling silly now! True. On the other hand, every John Walker review I've ever read has been exceptionally bad and/or wrong, so it was worth a little skepticism. escalator dropdown fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Mar 16, 2017 |

Important question: does this game do the annoying OT thing where occasionally you'll accidentally pick a dialogue option when trying to click and speed up lines, or is it like DA2/3 where the dialogue wheel doesn't show up until the person's done talking

escalator dropdown posted:A Good Post To add on to this post, since it pretty much sums up my thoughts on the single player, the multiplayer is basically just the ME3 stuff bolted onto the new system. Some it it works (more mobility + faster pace is a refreshing change) and some of it is kind of wonky (ability cooldowns feel a bit long, at least with starting kits and not much gear, the FoV is way too close unless you zoom it out in the options, it's hard to get a sense of what's killing you/what you're killing since there's not much bullet/force impact both ways, kind of tepid melee)

The Pathfinder poo poo is really souring me on the whole game. Like, on the first real planet past the tutorial, you find a failed settlement and they're like, "oh, if only they had a PATHFINDER." It's dumb as gently caress and makes it seem like everyone else is hyper incompetent.

Thank you whoever it was that posted the SotS2 defense for why the game seems bad and the release version will be much better. At least it's a reminder that there were far worse games released.

At least in that one it was sort of band-aided by getting rid of most of the middle personality choices, so there was nothing there to accidentally click, but still

Okay I take it back, in the DA:I thread lots of people who were declaring the game bad didn't go away, they instead continued to declare the game as bad while also playing the poo poo out of the game and asking for tips as to how they could get the most out of their game-playing experience. I remember more than one case of "Hahaha boy this game sure is bad, right fellow goons? Now I'm trying to romance the templar but it requires I collect some doohickeys from the hinterlands (a bad zone btw) can anyone point me in the right direction? Boy what a bad game"

After playing around some in MP and in the single player with different builds, I'm really disappointed with how the adept turned out. Removing warp really fucks the class (spec) over. Adept may have been overpowered in ME3 as I beat the entire game on insanity on my first play through, but not having a primer that can attach to everything really fucks the class over. Pull and singularity require the target to lose their shields/not be armored to actually prime anything for a biotic combo, throw's only use is still for combos, and lance is a lovely warp that doesn't act as a primer, only a detonator. Adept is also going to have a lot of trouble with armor, shockwave can be anti-armor but it has always been a bad ability. RIP space mage.

I think the only chance this game has if is Bioshit made the first couple of planets crappy and then the game gets awesome but for some reason decided to restrict us to the worst bits in the demo Did you see what I did there? I called them Biopoo poo because this game is poo poo from an rear end

The game is a turd, considering its heritage, budget, and development time. Five years and god knows how many millions of dollars should absolutely deliver better than what we're seeing.
