I was pressing because fans drawing wild conclusions from the tiniest bit of information is also a thing that happens, haha Oh for sure  I completely understand. It's also why I am so outspoken about ethics in the industry. Which seems tinfoil to community members, but happens on a fairly regular basis.

Dapper_Swindler posted:i mean yeah he is a dumb liar, but maybe they shoudnt use loving frostbite engine. its not a rpg/talking engine, its a loving battlefield/Bay explosions engine. the optimist in me wants to beleieve they are probably pushing the engine as far as it in that area and thats why all the faces animations look like meh. What does this mean? An engine isn't inherently good at RPG cutscenes. For triple A games whatever engine they used is heavily modified to suit their needs by the engineers working on the game. When people say it's the wrong engine for the job they mean poo poo like Star Citizen which is trying to use an engine designed for relatively small playable areas and expand it to planet size terrain. I seriously doubt there's some inherent design flaw that makes facial animation impossible. The reason the animations look hosed up is they did a botch job of it. Here's a cutscene from BF3 that isn't loving horrible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1WLzKcYJNU

Realtalk: I've played through the single player, and this is a deeply flawed game. The character creator is worse than in Inquisition (but has decent lighting, instead of dumb green Fade bullshit), the animations are worse than in Inquisition, the voice work is worse than Inquisition. But I still enjoyed playing it. I usually read the subtitles and skip the dialogue once I'm through with reading, so bad facial animations don't bother me. It's sad that nobody sounds as memorable and cool as Cassandra or Varric. I would even take Leliana's faux French accent. But I can live with that. I feel they could have done more with the story, considering we are exploring a brand new galaxy. But I'm still intrigued enough. What's up with the Remnant, what's the connection between the Scourge and the Remnant, why are the Kett so interested in the Remnant? What happened to the Arks, how will the Initiative grow in Andromeda? I'm looking forward to experience that development in-game. I think Vetra is cool so far, the other squadmates haven't impressed me too much. But I wasn't really that interested in Solas in the first hour of Inquisition, perhaps Liam or Cora will show hidden depths further in the game. Combat is fun. I understand everybody who doesn't like the game. It's no RPG masterwork like Planescape: Torment or Mask of the Betrayer, it doesn't even do interesting things with the established lore like KotoR2 did with the Force. But it scratches a certain itch, and I'm really enjoying playing the game. I will buy it.

You're in luck, Suvi in Andromeda is religious and quotes a couple of Christian thinkers about why religion and science go hand in hand and why religion was more than ready to accept the existence of alien races and whatnot.

Game is loving ugly as hell. Crashes often. Loved having Cora and some Turian fella have a conversation in the tram while not even bothering to look at each other. Even the lighting is really bad. Everyone looks like a potato that was swallowed hole and shat back out. The story is apparently ANCIENT TECHNOLOGICAL CIVILIZATION SHENANIGANS again. I mean holy poo poo how repetitive can you be?

Seriously, is this some kind of goon defense mechanism from having it affect your pants too much or wtf? Also, if the gameplay does actually come through I might still get this game...but yea, deffo after a few reviews of it get posted or some word of mouth reaches me. And also perhaps not for 60$, unless it turns into a massive time-sink for most. CrazyLoon fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Mar 16, 2017 |

Honestly, a ten hour demo of a Bioware RPG seems kind of like a mistake for EA. I'm not saying Andromeda will be great, but judging by the Bioware games I've played in the past, ten hours isn't good enough to judge these games.

Yes, but it's enough to form a very solid first impression, which for many was not very good. It's why I'm waiting until post-launch to see what people think of the whole package before buying myself.

I thought I'd try for a last minute refund on my preorder but I've been sitting at 'Please wait while we connect you to an EA Game Advisor.' for 30 minutes now when they estimated the wait time at 10 minutes. Is there an alternative way to cancel that doesn't require human interaction?
