It was designed by a racist, by the way. He hates white/caucasian people, and that's why there were no options for such a character in the trial. I refuse to buy a game from a company who doesn't even know who their disagrees are, as well as hire people who have no game experience. (Their lead animator)

The assclown that made it is racist so no I'm not giving him my money

I got the game and was playing it last night. All the people saying this game has no issues. I think were wrong. Lets just say the game is barely ok for a Mass Effect game but it feels like the game we are playing has multiple issues. Least of them the animations. And Bioware needs to put out multiple patches to fix everything. And so far they have been silent. Here is a list of issues I ran in so far. After about 5 hours in this game. - When you switch guns it shows the animation but doesn't switch. Happened multiple times during the Eos mission when switching from Assault Rifle to Sniper. - Male Ryder speaking but no voice coming out , happened twice. - Male Ryder blinking during cutscene like he was teleporting - Peebe still holds her gun backwards - wtf? - Dialogue: "What happened....... With........pause.......Pathfinder....." - "My face is tired". -this has to be the worst writing combined with voice over work done in gaming. - Dead lifeless eyes on the characters , darting everywhery are still there, it looks like the character is looking away instead of at the person they are talking to. - Weird lips smacking during conversation looks like Penguin from the cartoon. This is ok on Aliens but on human looks plain rediculous. Other not so onbvious issues. - Awkward walking animation, this one has been talked about but not yet patched - Writing is borderline cringe, where Ryder says things that are so obvious, he may as well not say anything. Shepard would be shaking his head right now. Nothing you say effects anything that hapoens in game. Dialogue choices may as well have been next, next, next. - Some of the character models look lile what I can only describe as badly polished. With lots of weird hair and polygon mesh glitches . - The train was blinking on the Nexus - Frame Rate and Perfomance issues on PS4 Pro. The fact this is in the game is not excusable. Don't they have testing? - Maybe some of these issues can be explained but there just so many, it is obvious the game was rushed to market and doesn't feel like you are playing the same game. There are so many gameplay systems and most could have been done better especially in the interface. - Some of the cutscenes backgrounds look outdated compared to the engine character models. Like you are playing a game from 2011. This has to be seen to understand. -Combat is great but the squad mates run around everywhere basically feel like retarded children, they are not really helping , and reduces the Rpg feel of the game. The cover based system is ok. But why did they remove damage numbers. I would like to see how much damage my gun is doing when i fire it. Weapons are tough to compare without actually using them. - Also found planet interface where you have to turn the planet tedious. It looks nice but makes little sense as it feels like you are flying in space without a suit. Would have been nicer if they made Ryder standing on the bridge or something looking through pilot window. But this one may not be an issue for you. -i could go on and on about the issues. No way is this game an 8/10. Anyone who says it is lying to themselves. I will force myself to play it because these facial expressions Male Ryder makes are funny as hell. The alien ruins mission are interesting. And for people saying I don't own the game. I posted a video on how to make a decent looking female sis Ryder. https://youtu.be/pjmxFqKEwXI

Enjoy the animations.

Nice. Hope you enjoy it. Us digital buyers still got about 7 hours to go.

Throw it in the garbage cause it's trash. The internet says so.

Idgaf about all the negativity from all you people slamming it cause of the animations, other than that it looks amazing ☑️ Amazing graphics ☑️ Beautiful environments ☑️Great gameplay ☑️Fun multiplayer ☑️We get to bang aliens ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ☑️ Interesting characters ☑️Great story To sum it up I'm hyped and there's nothing that will change that

In my time, I learned people are full of shit, do your own research is the best option. This game has been great 3 times around, and is bioware's baby. It's not a COD, or some every year game, it's going to be worth it, in my opinion. Try the trilogy still, I love ME 1, but ME 2 mechanics, and story is great! 3 is amazing as well.

Are the graphics and lip sync a downgrade from mass effect 3?

Simply enjoy the game. The reaction to this game is proof of why there will never be a Half-Life 3. What's funny is----in response to the criticism that the game is getting for its poor facial animations----Game Radar posted a YouTube video comparing the original game to MEA. The facial animations in the original game were even worse. The new game was clearly better. Are the best animations in the business? No...but then neither was the original game either. The problem here is the same problem that George Lucas ran into with the Star Wars prequels. So many people loved the first three games SO much, and bring such a crushing weight of hype and expectation to this....that it simply becomes impossible to meet them. Because NOTHING in the real world is ever going to be as good as what your imagination can create. So people bitch about how horrible the Prequels were....when the fact is that they are actual better movies than Episodes 4-6. They just didn't redefine how sci-fi movies were made and seen in society like the original trilogy did (that was never on the table). The Original Star Wars trilogy was a simple fairy tale mixed with the mythic "Hero's Journey" (Luke). The Prequels were a far more subtle and interesting story of how democracies self-destruct mixed with pure Greek tragedy (Anakin). But a point you'll miss if you demand that the movies make you feel the same way that the original movies did. Not going to happen. Ever. TLDR: People have the ME trilogy on such a pedestal that they came to MEA demanding to have their "minds blown"....instead of simply having a good, fun game to play, and a chance to revist a favorite universe. Plus Bioware is getting caught in the can't win situation of.....if they don't change the formula they get criticized for lack of creativity. They change the formula....and people complain about having changed the formula. But the simple fact of the matter is---as we say in music----, "What sounds good is good." If you're enjoying the game, then that's all that matters and ignore all the other shit swirling around. You're in the fortunate position of being able to evaluate the game on its own merits.

The dead lifeless eyes, take away from Happiness immersion for me. :) I need my Happy romances to be lifelike. No happines :) Jk Now replace the word happiness.
