Rabid Snake posted:Playing, I just realized the Indian dude from Big Bang theory is voicing one of the aliens. No, it's Kumail Nanjiani. The guy from Big Bang is Kunal Nayyar. Funny thing, Nanjiani isn't a bad voice actor. He did a guest spot on Archer a while back and sounded just fine.Chalk it up to whoever was doing the voice direction, I guess.

MEA is bad and I am bad so of course I pre-ordered the deluxe edition with a hardcover guide (this was especially dumb) so I'm $100+ in on a bad game. I also bought a xbox one elite controller for $130 thinking it would be better than m&kb for a game that was primarily developed for a gamepad. $230 for bad game in 2017. the elite controller is loving awesome tho so

That's the sense I get from level design as well. It's just kind of there, it's not like the Citadel or Feros where the level design is pushing thematic content and contributing to a specific sense of place and providing gameplay opportunities. It doesn't look bad, but it also doesn't seem to have been made by an experienced professional.

Skippy McPants posted:No, it's Kumail Nanjiani. The guy from Big Bang is Kunal Nayyar. yeah, it seems like the voice direction as a general rule is just bad. bad writing can be salvaged with good voice actors, and a good script can make up for sub-par voicing... but both? it's just bland characters reciting generic expositions at each other. i can't say much about cora or vetra because we didn't see much of them on the stream, at least the parts i saw, but liam seems to be a perfect storm of badness in particular. watching the stream, you can tell there really is more dialogue than ME3 because the are so many sequences that are like: RYDER: Guys, we need to do the thing. CORA: Let's do the thing, Pathfinder. LIAM: I'm ready to do the thing. SAM: Pathfinder, here is a guide to doing the thing. Walking into a research outpost, finding a glyph, powering up a conduit, powering down a generator... over and over again.

Kumail Nanjiani is an excellent comedian with great comedic timing, and he's voicing a character that isn't very funny and is also an alien so it's not exactly in his wheelhouse, and not a great choice for his debut into drama but i still like him

Have we figured out which companions are going to be even mildly close to as good as ME2's companions yet? The Krogan seems really generic Krogan, which means good, but all of the other companions revealed so far seem like the worst ones introduced in the entire series.

Just a lot of good solid artistic decisions on how to present the character in a way that wasn't completely embarrassing as it appeared on script.

Welp, I installed the trial and it's ON my hard drive, but it still says "Install" in Origin and now I just keep getting that loving VC++ redist package not installed error every time. I've gone into the actual game vc folder and re-ran all the installer .exes and they install, but Origin still doesn't give a poo poo. Awesome.
