[QUOTE=Killjoy;51837047]Are the character's appearances locked in or are they customizable? Not a fan of the defaults so far.[/QUOTE] Yeah the defaults are surprisingly bad. They're really keen on showing off femshep but she's fucking awful lmao what the heck
[QUOTE=Killjoy;51837047]Are the character's appearances locked in or are they customizable? Not a fan of the defaults so far.[/QUOTE] Most likely the same as the other games where there's a pre set girl and guy Shepherd but you can alter it
You can customize both the male and female Ryder. Whichever you don't pick is also a character in the game, and your father's appearance is based on both of the siblings.

[QUOTE=Senscith;51836572]So did I have a stroke watching that or did it feel like every time they showed a gameplay cutscene the framerate tanked from 60 to 30?[/QUOTE] It's not uncommon for pre-rendered cutscenes like that to be at 30fps, it's fairly jarring cutting between them quickly like that.

theres not a single character that looks remotely fine (except the krogan actually looks like a krogan but his backstory was written by a child). its embarrassing that bioware seem to refuse putting in any actual effort into making their games.

As much as I agree that Bioware can't make characters for shit, it is way easier to make a photoshop look good than an actual model that has performance budgets etc. In a way I suppose you can argue the same way that a lot of video game concept art ends up being way cooler than the finished designs.
I feel the story got put on the backburner for this one. This is one of those in-between games where they develop the tech the game runs on, and then in the next, fix the story.

No idea why Bioware insists on mangling real people's faces and why it seems to only apply to women, it's like they have actual misogynists working in their modelling department or something. [QUOTE=Boilrig;51837287]I feel the story got put on the backburner for this one. This is one of those in-between games where they develop the tech the game runs on, and then in the next, fix the story.[/QUOTE] Bioware doesn't seem to be much into this "fix the story" thing. Going off of ME and DA they're only capable of progressively fucking up more in that department. It's like they accidentally stumble onto something that works and then start applying effort to develop it, and it all goes downhill.
maybe theyre trying to not be sexist by not making the default femshep a pretty girl but rather a smelly mongoloid

I have this bad feeling that the story might not be as interesting as I was hoping, the world might be quite cool, the characters will be ok at most(why is FemRyder looking so terrible technically), but the gameplay looks fucking incredible. It's even better than ME3, and I hope to fuck we won't be limited to hiding in cover as much. I want to be able to float in the air and shoot guys instead of float for a moment, get my shield blown up and have to hide and then come out and repeat. Even if Multiplayer exactly the same as ME3, I could imagine myself playing this for so long because gameplay looks like the biggest improvement over anything else compared to other games. [sp]that is, if I could run the damn game in the first place, I won't be able to[/sp]
It's literally Halo 5's story all over again

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;51837011]I'm expecting this to be a fallout 4 Good combat. Poor story.[/QUOTE] This is what conflicts me about Andromeda. On one hand I disliked Mass Effect 2 when it went for the combat direction (even though I don't think ME2's gameplay is better than 1) and the story suffered. I mean at least this one doesn't have sequel baggage right? Can't really ruin the story of ME when it's not directly connected.
[QUOTE=lexus04;51838007]couldn't find the better ones but still [/QUOTE] witcher character models aren't much better than bioware's tbh but at the very least, cdprojekt isn't a company who is so fucking hypocritical and neurotic that they shove in shameless ass-shots and sexed-up character designs while their employees go on twitter rants about how evil white people are and how players are misogynists for not playing as the female character
[QUOTE=_Maverick_;51837241]shame it's your sister :v:[/QUOTE] and?
I don't like how this default female Ryder doesn't actually look like a face I would be alright with choosing, like the customisation isn't something I've never done, I always customise the face of my character because it'd be a waste not to, but the rare occasion when I just don't care, default female Shepard was fine, I like her look, but this one, even if I can't be bothered, randomising will be better, assuming it's an option.
[QUOTE=9millmeeter;51838031]witcher character models aren't much better than bioware's tbh[/QUOTE] wow what a terrible opinion. atleast CDProjekt makes human beings not whatever troglodytes bioware are pushing the past few years

I'm assuming it'll be no different this time.

[QUOTE=Destroyox;51838061]and?[/QUOTE] That took way longer than I thought for someone to make this joke
Female Ryder has a sister? Or are you assuming people are playing Male Ryder? DID YOU JUST ASSUME WHICH SIBLING I'M GOING TO PLAY?
I find complaining about the default face of your character is pretty pointless when the solution is obvious: customize it. A more valid argument would be the faces of other characters whom you can't customize.
[QUOTE=kilerabv;51838175]son, those are fighting words[/QUOTE] Plus CDprojekt actually know how to animate characters whereas Bioware don't seem to have improved since KOTOR 1.
9milimeter pretty much just posts opinions that almost no one will agree with and acts like his view is fact it's like all he does
