Dammit, now I want to buy the game to experience the shittiness by myself. By the time denuvo is cracked, all the actually fun things will be patched.

IT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE
THEY SPENT SO MUCH TIME IN THE COMBAT AND STORY THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE GOOD CHARACTER MODEL

They have to re-do the whole game in every scene and piece of dialog so it could take a while.

>animations
>take months to create
>expect patch on day 1
You have to be literally retarded to think you can fix animations with a day 1 patch

And tell the animator: whatever you did the last 5 years, do it better now.
nah, they will finish the obvious bugs, but retouching all facials will be too expensive.

look at that grandma skin

You have any idea how much work would be needed to fix up the animations? It's not something you can fix in two weeks. Would require an overhaul of every damn scene basically.

WHO'S LAFFING NOW?

>implying a patch will magically turn it into a different game
It's going to stay shit

Well then maybe they should've made the animation good in the first place and not look like komodo dragon shit when it launches.

But it won't break the immersion at every conversation.

That shit is the crown jewel of uncanny as fuck. Just the...open eyed stare, the utter lack of anything moving below the nose and the occasional, robotic blinking. Not to mention that bioware was too lazy to include much in the way of hand gestures, regular human body language seems to be beyond them.

If that...thing really was tired, at the very least why not have droopy, tired looking eyes. The eyebrows never move either.

Has no one at bioware ever actually studied how humans look when they do things? Are they just a bunch of robots?

>And tell the animator: whatever you did the last 5 years, do it better now.
In the first place you have to fire the dumbfuck who approved that animation.

...

crack when

It will stay shit, but it will be boring shit. Instead of animations being so bad they're good, they'll be just bad.
They'll probably "fix" this gem, for example.

>krogan acting agressive
>decide to throw a bottle in his face to get rid of him
>a bottle
>a fucking krogan
>as the bottle breaks on his head, i suddenly realizes my horrible mistake
hello darkness my old friend

>There is no day one patch to fix all the animations and other issues
>Game comes out in four days
>People are critizing this
Do people seriously expect things to be fixed in less than a week?

If they had just made the headbutt connect, fixed that woman looking to her right all of a sudden, and given the Salarian a chair, this animation would be cool as fuck.

How did they make so many damn mistakes?

After the ME3 ending shitstorm, yes they do

>given the Salarian a chair
beautiful, i hadn't even noticed this.
thanks bioware.

>Outsource all your animations to India so you have more time and money to circlejerk over SJW identity politics.
>Don't even bother to fix it when it comes back half-baked
If you buy this game you are retarded.

there is literally no possible way they can be improved in that time

The headbutt is too weak compared to the woman reaction.

>3DO fights back
Hahahaha

>On Day One
No shit. Even if they wanted to do something there's no way they could do it day one.

...

> Art institute of Vancouver
Just nuke Canada already

I wonder how many dicks she sucked to get that job, because it's obvious she can't do it.

Its perfect the way it is

>The Salarian doesn't even have a chair

Jesus fuck I never noticed it.

This game really is a gift that keeps on giving

She was headbutted by a Krogan. If anything, her face should have been shattered into a bloody mess.

Guys.

If you are bothered by the insane cynicism and hatejerk mentality of places like Sup Forums, just don't go there.

Having played most of my 10 hours in the single player, this is not NMS. This game is rough around the edges. Yes there are some tech problems. Yes the animations are all over the place and some character models are subpar.

But man if you are a Mass Effect fan, you are going to love it. I spent last night wandering around the Nexus, and everything I was doing, the quests, the conversations, the ambiance, it just screamed Mass Effect. The gameplay is better than it has ever been, the setup for the story is great, the characters are intriguing, the Tempest is awesome...

Just shut all that shit out. The Sup Forums gaming boards are in hardcore hate MEA mode right now, just laugh and move on. I remember when ME3 came out I used to get super defensive and wasted countless hours arguing with people on Sup Forums. I'm a little older now and realized that getting upset because some nerds on the internet said mean things about the game I like is pretty dumb. Who gives a fuck? I remember I didn't get Destiny for the longest time because the Sup Forums hivemind agreed it was terrible. Same thing that's happening now. It must be awful, I thought. Surely so many Sup Forumsirgins couldn't all be wrong. Ended up buying it on a whim on sale and I absolutely loved it.

Play the game and decide for yourself.

>game in development for five years
>works there for one year at the ass end of development

yep it's all her fault. She obviously went back and deleted every single animation that was made before she came and replaced it with garbage

you guys are fucking retards, you see a woman working for a game company and instantly assume every single thing was her fault.

Animating like this is done by hand, it's not a piece of code.
It's impossible to fix without a huge delay

>Making this into a pasta
Pathetic. You marketers were already banned today.

gurrrrl power!

this is pretty funny dude, keep it up

thanks

how one sits on air?

is that technology?

13 may her birthday
we'll gonna send gifts for her
she will be unemployed, right?

Maybe we can send an animation book or at least a pdf.

yes

anti gravity ass

Anyone have the gif where the NPC is moving lightspeed in the background?

Literally no person on the planet thought they'd be able to fix it that fast. There are probably thousands of animations. I'd be surprised if they ever fix them. They'd essentially have to redo an entire part of the game's development.

a patch wont fix that

that and all their character models are dog shit

It's not only an animation problem, the models need to be fixed too, probably the facial weights and bones are fucked too.

I don't think it will all be fixed. There's only so much animation tweaking can do to fix poor facial mo-cap acting.

Facial animations worse than Reboot lmao youtube.com/watch?v=vrCQ_6ldspA

Mass Effect Andromeda's animations are worse than fucking DEADLY PREMONITION.

I'm dead serious too. Watch any part of this video for proof. Compare it to the "my face is tired" clip. Notice how DP has actual eyebrow movement and facial expression?

Also, skip to 6:15:20 if you just want to watch the superb pre-boss hype between York and George. One of my favorite scenes in any game. youtu.be/rJRga7wPzUo?t=6h15m20s

Did all of Sup Forums just get BTFO?

>Mass Effect Andromeda is gorgeous on max PC settings
Yeah, just like how Fallout 4 was "gorgeous on max PC settings." What a joke. Backwards rationalization at its finest.

>A pair of nice shoes
>$60

I remember if you headbutted someone at just the right angle in the me3 multi with a krogan, their head would indeed explode.

Good shit.

I think the only way to truly experience this game is to pair it with some hilarious, kitschy, or trippy music, like the Wizard of Oz / Dark Side of the Moon thing. Or do a bunch of shrooms or something

come on I can't find it anywhere and it's always posted in these threads.

Mass effect as a series should crash and burn. Most overrated game series.

www 6pm.com

Now this ain't none of that there deep shoe web shit, is it?

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT WAS A MAN OR A WOMAN YOU FUCKING RETARD.

THIS GAME IS AN ABSOLUTE ABOMINATION, A RETARDED MESS, AND YOU ARE DEFENDING IT.

FUCK OFF.

Doesn't matter. Who would buy it anyway? There's too much colonialism.

>my face is tired

you can't make this shit up

I don't see the relation between bad animations and consoles.

Wasn't Inquisition's animation just as shit?

But they're supposed to improve with time, not get worse

It was bad, but not this bad.

Remember we have EA / Bioware shills on here,
BEWARE OF THE MARKETERS

They were shit, yes. But not nearly as shit as ME Andromedas.

Well no shit. Redoing all the animation would take months, which is why they will never fix it.

>as the bottle breaks on his head, i suddenly realize that cute vid-novela actor is standing right over there
ftfy

Remember when bioware at least tried to make good games ? youtube.com/watch?v=ZnCa4T3zIgE

mfw

Maybe people without common sense. Most of this game's problems are probably beyond patching at this point anyway and they go way beyond just the animation. Shipping a game in this kind of state is completely inexcusable, especially for a AAA development team with that kind of budget. I'd like to know what they spent it on.

>*record scratch*
>*freeze frame*
>Yup, that's me. And that was when the director decided to fire me for looking the wrong way

I'm onto you shill...

...

The fuck? Are you trolling? Obsidian developed Alpha Protocol, not Bethesda.

Either way though, thank you for giving me another excuse to post some of the best banter I've heard in any game. Also, friendly reminder that even Alpha Protocol from 2010 has vastly superior animations than Andromeda in 2017.

youtu.be/N2jYR9g85Xw

That dude needs some Mike "Electric Fence" Pence special treatment.

But AlphaProtocol was Obsidian friendo.

Guys.

If you are bothered by the insane cynicism and hatejerk mentality of places like /r/games, just don't go there.

Just shut all that shit out. The reddit gaming subs are in hardcore hate MEA mode right now, just laugh and move on. I remember when ME3 came out I used to get super defensive and wasted countless hours arguing with people on BSN. I'm a little older now and realized that getting upset because some nerds on the internet said mean things about the game I like is pretty dumb. Who gives a fuck?

Play the game and decide for yourself.

that table is so dusty

>instead of fixing this, word of god confirms that salarians are capable of expelling air out of their anuses in order to "sit"

Imagine the BRAAAAAP threads this would generate

Oh come on, this is a witch hunt.

I mean, ME3 had everyone go all exorcist on you when talked to them but they continued to fiddle around. Especially my beloved Traynor did that.

But if people said that was a good indicator of the quality of the whole game I would call them crazy.

People have a bone to pick with Bioware. I looked at some of the "lulz, Andromeda animation" videos with added sound effects and everything in YouTube. Atleast two of the channels I found also had uploaded video in the style of "how Sjw ruined Biowhere" and "why does Bioware pander to gays so much?". I think that is important to remember, some groups have hated Bioware for a long time.

It's a Slavarian

Unfortunatly i was serious, i guess my meds kicked it and i went full retard, at least im glat i was somewhat relevant

Surely that guy got banned on Neogaf for that post?

I replied to this exact post on reddit this morning. Weird that you have the exact same comment as that

The streaming embargo is lifted tomorrow. Prepare for more footage.

Well, seems that chick paid as much attention to that fight as bioware on the animations

...

Can someone explain to me why Andromeda needs 16GB of RAM?

Ironically reposting shill pasta is pretty retarded tbqh guys

>break bottle over krogan's head
>shatters into large flat pieces of glass

No worries chap, I'm dyslexic as well (I mixed up Bioware and Bethesda earlier, which is quite ironic, but they both have atrocious quality so it does make sense) so I know that feel. A good way to know whether Bioware worked on a game or not is simply checking if the animations, script writing, modeling, lighting, and voice acting are all abysmal. If not, it's not Bioware.

Surprisingly not yet, but if he had expressed any criticism whatsoever of Bioware's developers, it'd be an instant permaban. Pic related, posting that gets the banhammer.

>trusting inflated minimum specs

>a date
>60 bucks

I wonder how he's gonna react when everyone tears his new game.

It doesn't take a month when you have all the assets.

>komodo dragon shit
Do you have any comparison pics... for research?
