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

New MP Maps are confirmed to be free.

Only heard it once while at work, but what was wrong with the female Keogan's voice?

[QUOTE=Tuskin;51928520]New MP Maps are confirmed to be free.[/QUOTE] Weren't they free in 3 as well?

Yes, all MP DLC was free, with the option to buy packs, which is what funded ME3 making a profit to begin with, after the SP shit storm hit the second weeks of sales like a sledgehammer.

Yea, but this is EA we're talking about here. [editline]8th March 2017[/editline] Heh... [sp]weapon naming[/sp] [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C6WBdctVUAAKiwk.jpg[/IMG]

Christ almighty, the gameplay better be fucking great because those facial animations and voice actors are dog shit, like I thought Mass Effect 3 was bad at times but Bioware have seriously pushed it over the edge and made them worse. And this isn't even something where, "Oh it's alright, it'll be fixed by the time it comes out." like, no it will not, ever, it's going to look shit, always.

Like, why does the game look like this? I'm genuinely curious. How does this happen? This is a 'recovery' sequel after a poorly received third title. Why does it look like this?

I really don't think it looks that bad. The voice actors are a bit strange, but outside of the Turian, nothing is too horrible. I feel like I'm watching entirely different videos from most of the people on here, because nothing I've seen looks TERRIBLE.

This is EA's most seasoned development house and second largest studio group with two of three satellites using key veteran personnel. There is no logistical excuse for this AT ALL. Add Witcher 3 into the mix and this is solidly 'Bethsoft no fucks given mega insulation' territory, except you can't use the excuse 'we only have 90 people' that Beth used until headhunting half of bEhavior interactive. If they don't have the people they can sure as fuck spend the money to find them or rent them, and frankly, they have the people.

Is there a way to enable AA for ME2? the nvidia control panel has no effect.

[QUOTE=CrossNgen;51929105]Is there a way to enable AA for ME2? the nvidia control panel has no effect.[/QUOTE] Try using the me2config.exe in the install location.

[IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C6V75i2VAAADAFp.jpg[/IMG] Looks cool, seems Bioware is trying to promote the new multiplayer gender characters, makes sense. Hope to see more playable characters at Pax East. I don't like these character descriptions, they seem unneeded

[QUOTE=death2sarge;51929488] [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C6V75i2VAAADAFp.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE] Maybe it's because I have Zelda on the mind but seeing a full female Krogan face for the first time and it looks like a Goron

Those descriptions seem like placeholders for a real bio.

[QUOTE=SFC003;51929599]Those descriptions seem like placeholders for a real bio.[/QUOTE] I hope so, otherwise i'd imagine they'll be getting some backlash from the community. Seems a bit late for them to be placeholders.

Why, how, is that Krogan floating

[QUOTE=SebiWarrior;51929645]Why, how, is that Krogan floating[/QUOTE] Mass Effect fields.

It looks like she's meant to be dashing forward with the jetpack in that pose.

Oh I didn't even notice that

[QUOTE=XanaToast.;51926930]thing bout the nexus just got posted: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xe4NoXadPI[/media][/QUOTE] Another thing about this and the male character that's really fucking irritating, why the fuck, did they make him walk like he's holding carpets under his arms? [editline]8th March 2017[/editline] Male Ryder is an 'ard lad.

Aside from the animations, this still looks promising.

I think they blew the budget for facial animation on actual facials.

[QUOTE=SebiWarrior;51929645]Why, how, is that Krogan floating[/QUOTE] Look at the back of her armor.

'Former Justicar'. Why. They state it's so brutally difficult to become a Justicar, you have to be willing to leave everything in your life behind, and so much more. Feels like they're really diminishing their own lore with this character.

Dear God I hope they focus more on the writing for the next game. Why is Bioware like "the story and the characters are just a minor concern for the players, everyone only cares really about exploration and blowing shit up :^)"

There aren't enough Asari in Andromeda to yet really justify the Justicar order. (Give them time though, given they can fuck everything they'll be the race that properly explodes compared to the others)

The new nexus video by IGN really highlights the bad animation the best so far, some of the characters look plain hilarious. The woman he talks with first looks like a robot and for a moment the bartender is basically a talking statue. This might actually even rival Fallout 4 in this regard

As someone who's played all the previous 3 games a couple of times and read all the books - I'm so scared that its gonna be shit(I'm actually almost certain that it will), but I'm still gonna buy it. Send help.
