It's okay to be hyped for The Fractured But Whole. Heheh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really not a fair comparison at all.. Uncharted, L.A Noire, TLoU, Beyond and all the Yakuza games have 1 face that the player chooses. In Bioware games, however, Mass Effect: Andromeda included, you can. Because of this, they need to make facial expressions look okay on thousands of different face structures that people will be creating, and that will lead to some awkward animations here and there. The other developers of games you mentioned only had to worry about 1 face. They had a template to work with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other developers of games you mentioned only had to worry about 1 face. They had a template to work with. Those were indeed not the best comparisons, but I have to admit that the Mass Effect series is the only game with face create I've ever played where I ended up restarting the game and using the basic face because the ones I was creating ended up behaving awful in cutscenes. Never had that problem with other games where you can create your own face before. Just now, GlennRhee said: Oh, yikes.

That Krogan voice tells me I made the right decision. Ninjiani's involvement is an even bigger letdown for me but yeah, same here, I'm glad that I chose for Zelda and decided to not go day one on Horizon Zero Dawn and Mass Effect Andromeda. Seems like I'll buy Horizon Zero Dawn soon after all since it's supposed to be actually pretty decent/good, and I'll wait with Andromeda until I can find it in the bargain bin. 2 minutes ago, zettlock said: Isn't that a female Krogan?

Yeah, true, female Krogan sound less Batman-y than the male ones even in the original trilogy. This new one sounds really wrong, though. (Not even going into the whole "Krogans aren't scientists, they're all warriors" thing the first game told us, which is being thrown out of the window more and more) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGuy420 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 3 hours ago, xZoneHunter said: Gameplay is on point from my experience. But cmon, it's mass effect it's definitely one of the franchises where the story and characters are pretty important. Not even a little bit IMO. For me, when it comes to video games, story can enhance the experience but I really couldn't care less if it's there or not. It's very much like porn in that sense lol. If I want story and characters there's literally millions of hours of TV and movies out there that can give me that, for a lot less $. It all comes down to the math really. Take Mass Effect 2 for example. I've beat that game about a dozen times over the years and only paid attention to the story the first time. Let's say the story takes up about 10 hours of that playthrough, and I've probably spent about 400 hours with the game. That means story accounted for about 2.5% of my enjoyment of that game. 2.5% of anything is not a deciding factor. And that # would be a lot lower when compared to ME3 which I spent well over 1000 hours on lol. So no, story and characters don't mean crap to me.

Remilia Scarlet Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Mass Effect has never had great animation. No BioWare game has. And to the people complaining about the dialogue, you can't judge the entire thing off of one scene. One scene of bad dialogue is not indicative of the whole product. Even the best games and films have rough spots. 28 minutes ago, Happy said: Bad voice acting here and there is tolerable, i would be more concerned about the fact that every face we've seen during dialogue is completely devoid of emotion.
