Mass Effect Megathread: He said "I should go." Do I sound like that? - Games

but the real question is, do people still want the game?

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;51967727]but the real question is, do people still want the game?[/QUOTE] I do. It definitely dies down a little bit after the intro as the much larger and more open Eos isn't as well structured as Habitat 7, but I'm really enjoying my time with this. I'm getting more and more visual buggery going on though, like some glitches and frequent drops in FPS; things I didn't get before updating my drivers funnily enough. My biggest problem with the game is I feel like I can't take my time with it, which is entirely because of the timed trial, so take away from that what you will. Also colours; I can't customize my armours colours and it's annoying the fuck out of me. Like I can preview how it'll look, but as soon as I stop "colouring" a certain part it just goes back to default.

[QUOTE=Zeos;51966802]Oh no. She's hot.[/QUOTE] Reminds me of the human cylon number 8. Also why? [video]https://youtu.be/6zUilV_oemg[/video]

[QUOTE=Zeos;51967580]I think I realized what's going on and it's hilarious. I think this is the second ME4. Like, they fully completed the gameplay but had to scrap the actual game at some point and quickly make something from the remnants.[/QUOTE] If only that were true.

[QUOTE=27X;51967780]If only that were true.[/QUOTE] With all due respect, I'm not sure why you'd want that to be true. We'd not only end up with the same product we're getting here, but it would implicate that the team was in such disarray and so split apart that the game isn't actually made of a singular focused concept. But instead the pieced together remains of something else.

I think if you press spacebar after you've set the color you want it'll stick.

I think if you press spacebar after you've set the color you want it'll stick.[/QUOTE] The mouse overall feels a bit inconsistent in the menus. It works well enough, but I've had a few moments of confusion when looking at especially the skills menu. I'll hover my mouse over another skill and click, but it'll still look like I had the skill I previously clicked selected, so I end up backing away from what was the correct skill I selected anyhow. It's nothing bad but it's just the right amount of annoying to start getting under my skin.

Her face is tired from dealing with everything.

[QUOTE=27X;51967780]If only that were true.[/QUOTE] I get being an epic "the game is gonna be bad" memer before the ea access stuff, but the general consensus is that it's a good game with some dopey facial animations, so why keep up the schtic, genuinely curious? [editline]16th March 2017[/editline] On a similar note, though, Addison looks like a realdoll with some gyros in the mouth. I cannot stand talking to her.

I've been having a good time, minus the derpy animations and lines sometimes its genuinely fun. I love the theme of exploration and building new worlds, much better than Me3.

this multiplayer is dope as fuck when it decides to not be a laggy fuckin mess. i've legit played 4 matches so far: 1st one had host ragequit and cause the game to fail to migrate host, 2nd and 3rd were laggy as shit but i still managed to enjoy them, and the 4th one was when i hosted an apex mission for the tutorial challenge and it was fuckin sweet. 10/10 great servers

[QUOTE=DinoJesus;51966836]I'm glad that despite our differences, we can all agree the Quarians are the worst race.[/QUOTE] If you keep misspelling "best" like that people will get really confused.

Gonna download the trial while I sleep and play it in the morning. I really want Mass Effect to be good again But I feel the things I'm really concerned about, like the lore and backstory and story/plot choices won't be something I can figure out is good unless I buy it

[I]Theory about SAM, spoilers for a sidequest from your first trip to the Nexus;[/I][sp]I think that SAM is an AI modeled after Ryder's mother. The voice will probably get less synthetic, and distorted, and more obviously feminine as you unlock more of those memory nodes. My theory is that, to "save" her from dying of cancer, Alec made SAM so she could live forever. But first, he had to teach it to be more human-like?[/sp] It's definitely the vibe I'm getting. I think that'd be a fairly neat turn of events, and little subplot. It'd feel distinctly like [sp]GLaDOS from Portal, being modeled after Caroline.[/sp] [editline]16th March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;51968114]But I feel the things I'm really concerned about, like the lore and backstory and story/plot choices won't be something I can figure out is good unless I buy it[/QUOTE] Story is good so far. There hasn't been a time that I've been thinking to myself, "gee boy howdy can I skip this? I really don't care."

All these people playing the trial, and all I've got is work and essays between now and Tuesday. Gee dang it.

[QUOTE=Kinversulath;51968242]All these people playing the trial, and all I've got is work and essays between now and Tuesday. Gee dang it.[/QUOTE] it sure is nice of them to pick tuesday as a release day instead of say, friday night...

I think in a post ME3 world, even if ME:A were perfect, there'd still be a lot of people finding things about it to shit on.

[QUOTE=death2sarge;51967882][vid]https://my.mixtape.moe/iopgcd.webm[/vid] LMAO thread on Facepunch is off to a great start with Andromeda[/QUOTE] what in the hell, that was awful hahahaha

[QUOTE=KaptonJack;51968357]I think in a post ME3 world, even if ME:A were perfect, there'd still be a lot of people finding things about it to shit on.[/QUOTE] It happens with every big game. People will always look for a reason to shit on a game before it comes out. Then when the game comes out, if it's bad they won't shut up, but if it's good you don't hear them mention it again.

[QUOTE=death2sarge;51967882][vid]https://my.mixtape.moe/iopgcd.webm[/vid] [/QUOTE] Aside from the, shall we say, [I]uncanny[/I] presentation, who the fuck wrote that dialogue?

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/b16wllO.jpg[/img_thumb] I think I did a pretty good job with FemRyder, despite the shit ass character customization options.

Watching the Giant Bomb video is killing my hype. Everything seems so hollow; not just the bad voice acting & animations but the lack of music too.

[QUOTE=Scot;51968475]Watching the Giant Bomb video is killing my hype. Everything seems so hollow; not just the bad voice acting & animations but the lack of music too.[/QUOTE] The GB stream was pretty bad. I watched it while my trial thing was downloading. A lot of the complaints about the combat were really dumb. Animations can be a lil janky, but I only really noticed one super shit character while playing. VA was aite. Serviceable. Vetra and Drack are pretty neat, I like them a lot.

I cannot get past intro video, it freezes and there is still music for the current scene for video. Anyone got the same problem? How to fix this?

yeah the upper part of the face still lacks any animation at all in many conversations and the mouth movements seem computer generated. it's worse than the first 3 games for sure.

Why is she running like she shit herself? :v: [img]http://i.imgur.com/Rq9zqLP.gif[/img]

Asian characters seem to come out pretty well from what I can tell.[/QUOTE] This. I've actually only seen this combo of hair/eyes/face look good. Is character customization that limited? How many variations do you have per option(roughly)?

Like, none. You can choose how far away parts are, but other than your mouth and nose, can't change what your eyes look like, even what side they are, skin complexion... anything. If I want to play a white guy, I have three options: Male generic ryder, weird douchenozzly dude who never opens his eyes and ends up looking like he's 40, and someone with a genetic condition that makes them have white skin.
