So it looks like this game is going to be fucking DA:I in space. What a shitshow

...

please use archive.ism/articles/2016/09/14/ea-brings-maxis-bioware-and-more-together-in-new-worldwide-studios-division

I don't understand why some dumb inexperienced kid is leading this ultra important expedition just because his/her dad died, even though there was already a second in command. What's up with that?

...

I haven't heard anything to substantiate that. But it wouldn't surprise me. BioWare proper (that is to say, the Edmonton team) hasn't said or done anything since the cancellation of that 4v1 multiplayer game they were working on.

...

Evolve?

...

why is she so fucking creepy..not even horrors creep me out as much as that stare in the camera

No. I think it was called Shadow Realms.

it looked like a World of Darkness ripoff.

Just to add to the horror you can fuck Shrek in a glorious 18+, fully naked scene.

...

...

She really is a smart person.

Yeah, at least with the N7 or even the Spectres, you know your character earned it.
The Ryders look like a bunch of spoiled kids.

Mac Walters and his team of bloggers took a huge shit on the lore.
I wonder if they're gonna explain how the Andromeda Initiative managed to find all that money to develop such technologies in secret while the rest of the Milky Way was waiting be destroyed by the reapers.

...

...

...

Taking a shit on the lore isn't that much of an issue, you can just asspull and get away with it so long as what you're replacing the old stuff with is actually equal or better.

What they've done is gone full retard with no wish of ever coming back.

Might as well ask how Cerberus went from a small terrorist organization to a donut steal Gar Stu organization that can rival the System Alliance in terms of ships.

BioWare are fucking retarded, always have been.

...

...

...

dumping some OCs

is this the game with the Indian Dev that wanted to kill all whites and shit?

I think shit pathfinding is the least problem Andromeda has. Godawful writing even the cucks over at RPS refuse to defend, graphical glitches everywhere, horrible animations that SFM porn making amateurs would be embarrassed to release publicly, characters that look like lumps of shit a tard shaped into something vaguely resembling people and insipid gameplay.

Compared to that your squadmates being complete fuckwits is nothing.

But patricia the gorilla warfare loves it!

these animations are shit by fucking PS2 standards

So, uh who is gonna sacrifice himself and stream this Multi track trainwreck?

I like how all the faces look like wax because they still don't know how to work with Frostbite.

I'm just gonna wait for smudboy to grab someone else's stream (not even he has the stomach to wade through this shitpile), cut through the tedium and give us the plot bits in all their retarded glory.

...

Fuck off faggot

I mean, they should just make a dating sim for the game already, I'd play it.
All dat delicious SFM stuff

Even from a consumer goodwill standpoint it's chances are pretty shot. Holla Forums will be unanimous in it's hatred of the game, exempt the 1 or 2 IDs per thread, but besides that it's most likely going to be threads like this every time.

Is there anything good about this game that anyone is looking forward too? besides mans1ayer poops.

Brote will probably make a drunk stream.

Fuck off faggot.

Comedy title of the decade? I'm hoping for massive online tantrums from BioWare employees and all manner of twitter meltdowns. Pic related is salvaged text of BioWare employees posting butthurt Witcher 3 reviews with a score of 0 on Metacritic while giving DA 10s. I can't wait for their next childish shitfit.

BioWare makes games where the greatest enjoyment is not playing them.

...

...

I'm looking forward to seeing this crash and burn. On certain normalfag-tier sites, the popular opinion seems to be that it's looking pretty good and that "cynical circlejerkers need to calm down".

I have yet to see anything about the game that doesn't look like complete and total trash. How could anybody watch the trailer and actually think it seems good? Who the actual fuck are these people who are thinking this will be the greatest game of the year?

If dubs, this game will be a bigger disaster than TORtanic.

This is doubly odd considering we already know most of the planets are already inhabited by citadel races. There's not much pathfinding and exploring happening when people already did all of that decades ago and made their home there.

drunk Brote was the only way I could tolerate watching anything related to Life is Strange

There were times when I enjoyed my anger during the ME3 ending controversy

I think Smudboy already said he wants to stream.Considering how autistic he is about the game he'll probably do it.

...

Even in the new galaxy? What the hell even is the point of this game then?

I liked E;R's dissection of that turd.

I have no fucking hope Dotnod's Vampyr will be anything but a steaming pile of shit. Every game they've made so far has dropped the ball, hard, when it comes to writing.

That implies you had expectations.

The realization they had fucked the ending of the previous game in the franchise so badly there was no salvaging anything from it and the IP required a soft reboot to even function to any degree.

Is BioWare the living proof we need to finally bury the meme that says gays have a good sense of aesthetics?

That's just downright unnerving

Yes, the basic premise is that your ship had a breakdown and you get defrosted from hypersleep a couple of decades later than all other Arcs.
So you go off to repair your ship and make planets habitable that are already inhabited by other people.

I liked ME2 and hoped that It would address what gameplay problems I had about ME2 and what ME1 did right and incorproate that in 3. I also had hope that the story would be good too.

It's funny, because the best looking gays are the one who looks downright straight. See: "Women love gay men who dress well, because they look nothing different from straight men" meme

lol wat a fagg

I don't think you understand how wide eyed and optimistic I was. I actively avoided marketing, I didn't want to be spoiled. I pre ordered months in advance.

ME3 is the reason I don't buy EA games on principle. ME3 is the reason I now hate ME2 even thought I should have seen the writing on the wall back then. ME3 is the reason I don't pre order. ME3 is the reason I watch let's plays before I drop money on games even if they're on sale. ME3 was the most disappointing game I've ever played.

I didn't think Bioware would put SJWs in the game. I thought they would just shape the game with SJWery. I was wrong. Seeing this makes me believe the report I heard that the game has "slam poetry" in it too.

Soft reboot that bypasses the awfulness of ME3 and lets them keep milking the franchise of course.

So it's Australia Colonizing: The Game? The very same sort of colonization that drives SJWs up the wall with WHITE PRIVILEGE?

Don't forget that the job is literally something we've already built machines for.
YOU COULD COMPLETELY AXE THE LEAD CHARACTER IN ME:A WITH A WEATHER BALLOON

I don't have a Bachelor's in the Arts just to suffer harder than the average person like this Bioware.

According to the ME:A intro, nothing happened after ME2. No mention of the R-word.
The Milky Way is too mainstream, let's explore another galaxy thanks to a bunch of new powerful tech that could've helped the council races in the fight against the reapers…

DAILY REMINDER

wtf I hate sand niggers now…. oh wait.

It reflects bioware promotion policy

I wonder if the average white normalfag that wants this trainwreck of a game realizes this guy shits on them regularly.

holy shit, Vincent's animation always amazes me. from the skin complexion, to the small details like the 5 o clock beard, the moles on his skin, the muscles on his forehead actually moving, his eyes widening when raising his voice, the way one of his eyes is looking at the player and the other at heather. This is the work of an artist who cares about his craft. Devs today should be fucking ashamed.

Reminder that ME2 is free on Origin. Also reminder that the Outcast remake is releasing this month.

Mass Effect 2 has superior art direction, sound design, and story. It's just too linear and it also has a really shitty version of FemShep, or that might be the third one. The first game still has yet to be topped.

The britbongs rightly shitstomped the natives and took their shit.
The andromeda team will go through a list of basic fetchquest for the locals until they are allowed to build a base.

Personally i would have preferred the classic method.

Fuck (you), (((user)))

This sort of thing would only be acceptable in a Lego game, and even then, they can write comedy to justify it.

This game seems even stupider than I expected. Bioware never stops amazing me.

Fuck you leatherman. I just wanted to play it again on PC without having to put the effort into finding an active torrent as it is a 7 year old game.

Probably not.

I've tried to show them shit like this and they counter with retard logic like "hurr you have to separate the art from the artist"

Those are some radical digits, user. Your normalfag friends are intolerable.

Just show them the shitty animations/models, the premise which requires that every single person organizing and participating in the project was a total retard who couldn't figure out how to strap scientific equipment to an RC car, and/or your magnificent quints.

ME:A is "muh peaceful refugees: the game"
The Tempest (not-Normandy) and the Nomad (not-Mako) aren't armed.

check'd

Digits for truth.

(check'd)
That argument kind of falls flat when the art itself is shit

You need to check those ones too

No user, you just don't "get" it.
You've obviously been listening to too much 4Chan

How is such terrible animation allowed.
like someone had to have been overlooking the project and allowed it to be released publicly .

Because EA really gives a shit about quality now?

Needs a 2B wig

Pretty much this. Team Silent put all their efforts, and their creations aged like fine wine. Andromeda's team got nothing.

I think it has to do more with their engine rather than lac of talent. It just goes to show that bioshit just wants to shovel stuff out the door rather than make a better engine.

Repeat.

Is that not passion for your craft or what?

If Hamburger Hepler is anything to go by, BioWEAr employees don't play games.

There are so many things wrong with this particular scene I can't even be mad anymore at this point, just amazed at how Bioware can fuck up themselves even more every time.

JUST

What, is your body not constantly working to fight bad genetics?

It's not the stupidest logic? Although 600 years of gene therapy in stasis is kinda weird. Also, this means the initiative is trying to cure the genophage, which was a huge part of Mordin's loyalty mission. BioWare really hates their old lore, huh?

A krogan sounds like that? I thought most of them had really deep voices. But he just sounds like a faggot.

There's something oddly familiar about that voice.

It's a grill

...

Sounds like they sent all the degenerate transgender Krogans to Andromeda. Smart.

get out never come back.

Checked.

so literally no one from past games even looked at a video game and made this from it seems now. kinda of kiling the whole mass effect if you don't even look at the lore behind the game

But wait, aren't krogan women in space hijabs or something?

Did you just assume Xir's gender?

It's a progressive Krogan grill.

tranny krogan

True but Bioware doesn't care, there's even a female Krogan engineer on Andromeda.

>Gene Therapy - in stasis

I miss when Wrex first told us if you asked a Krogan if he would rather research the genophage or fight for credits he would take fight for credits every time.

I too miss the first Mass Effect. RIP BioWare, you weren't perfect, but I still liked you.

Speaking of Mordin's loyalty mission, something I thought was interesting was that they made it a point that the genophage wasn't the species killer it was made out to be, it just lowered Krogan birth rates to that of Turians or Humans. If they just got their shit together, the Krogan would be fine, and it was somewhat implied that Wrex was finally beginning to understand that.

Which is one of the reasons why the entire concept of "curing" the genophage is so fucking retarded.

My head is fucking hurting from the gene therapy stasis, 'we deserve this' bullshit, and them making krogans into gigantic pussies.

ME2 was the shit back in the day, what are you on about

Even though ME's lore is pretty shit, it still appealed to me as a sci-fi lore autist. In general I like sci-fi settings where you go on cool adventures with aliens, so ME appealed to me. There was some alright lore there to pick apart, stuff where you could read between the lines and speculate, like with xenobiology. I can't get excited about ME:A though. There are too many thematic and logical inconsistencies between the game and the original trilogy, like FTL technology and the relays suddenly being no big deal. It's no coincidence that traditional limitations of FTL are being handwaved while the events of ME1-3 are also just ignored.

An apologist krogan is extremely out-of-character. This sort of thing makes me expect that the game will just write off all these old grudges between Milky Way species because people new to the franchise won't understand what's being discussed anyway.

The painful bit is that ME's lore isn't shit. On paper it's a really cool universe with a cool science fiction "what if" that technology and magic is based on with the mass effect. The problem is on the execution end of things, it's absolutely terrible.

The fucking krogan who does poetry or the krogan that liked fish makes more sense than an apologist krogan, and those two things came from ME2 which wasn't even great.

I think it's a currynigger. The most annoying people to live, to the point where most people don't care if you openly talk shit about them.

It was great on the first Mass Effect game. Bioware went full retard when the lead writer left during Mass Effect 2.

...

It's like something out of a failed Pixar animation.

Truth.

or maybe they just list that one guy because he was in charge of outsourcing literally everything to pakistan

HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE SHIT GAMES CHANNEL

TODAY I HAVE THIS NEW SHIT GAME FROM BIOWARE

LET ME SHOW YOU ITS FEATURES

A poet krogan actually makes a good amount of sense, someone needs to spread the word about krogan who kill crazy shit, and you can't have much of an army without army songs, just ask Germany or Russia.

fucking god damnit this is going to be a painful couple of months.

can you make them watch a let's play first? You don't even have to beat them over the head with Smud shitting all over ME2 and 3

No, you don't understand. These are people who legit agreed with the mainstream press about the ending of 3.

I'm so sorry user ;_;

If the writers are smart and funny enough, they could make some salarian slam poetry

I've seen the footage, literally every single dialogue choice leads to the same outcome and you can switch character builds on the fly. How is that overwhelming in any way?
Yeah, scan this, scan that, beep boop, press x on this, that sure as shit ain't filler.

Women are the worst.

I'm sorry, user, but you'll need to put them out of their misery.

That's terrible user, sorry about that.

Be strong, user. Be strong.

People should know better than to take any money by EA. Why do companies keep selling their souls to them?

I can't wait to see Manveer Heir start blaming the failure of this game on white people.

This is why Toronto should be nuked from Orbit.

he's a towel head I think. Also I find it ironic that he hates white people so much when he lives in Toronto, one of the most multicultural cities in fucking Canada, a multicultural shithole of a nation. What is he so mad about when he's handed everything there?

Honestly thought they were making a Genesis Music Video?

The most infuriating part of all this is that they're mostly intelligent otherwise, so I can't just write them off entirely. Goddamnit.

Dubs do declare Manveer will go full retard when the reviews come in.

...

Is there even a single person from the ME1 era left working at Bioware?

Mac Walters.

The Janitor

The genophage was way lower than that of the average human or Turian.

I don't really hate Jews. Separate the artist and the artwork, man. :^)

That's the only lore friendly thing in the conversation, since Mordin had to treat a similar mutation. The rest is flatout ignoring so much of the lore that it might as well take place in an alternate universe.
Also, the conversations really give me an uncanny valley feel. Previous ME games didn't mostly because they look incredibly fake and stiff, but now? Every detail they added to make it more human ended up wrong. The blinking is too slow, the eyes move artificially, the face looks weirdly sectorized, like if the mouth eyes and the rest of the face muscles worked independently of each other. Let's not get into how the female protagonist still has every facial feature slightly enlarged, even her fucking eyes.

It is like the characters all got Botox injections from a back ally Mexican cosmetic surgeon. Now there are just two expressions. Creepy smile that says, "I'll cut your dick off in your sleep." and Vietnam War flashback. Next they will bring back Mass Effect one running animations.

So you're his wife's son?

My sister is hyped too. These people really let their emotions dictate their thinking.

I'd like to imagine that he absolutely despises what Bioware has become and is constantly trolling his coworkers

My father has three children from different wives. (My older brother, me, and my younger brother (stepchild)) My mother has two kids from different husbands. (My sister and I).

No one in the family has a full sibling. Reuinions are at best confusing, at worst small.

Yeah my brother is buying it even though he found Inquisition to be a 'boring single player mmo'. Some people simply cannot learn.

at least that makes you feel less guilty about the incest

I hope that model sues them for defamation

That sounds like a mess. My dad remarried once with a new kid, so I got off lucky compared to that mess. I just couldn't resist due to you phrasing.

Some can't. Some can, but let the hype override their logic. It's sounds the same, but it's the only way I can explain why some do this shit despite functioning well otherwise.

So, what's the verdict on this shit? Sim City all over again, "not even worth pirating"?

It would be like Sim City, but with Pee Bee it shows that Bioware is back on top of the RPG market

This game is worth less than dogshit.

This is an SFM fan project right? There's no way EA spent millions of dollars on this.

how bad do you think the giant bomb stream is going to be??

All the shitty animations are good for a laugh, but why is it that everyone in these Bioware games are so fucking greasy. Why don't they wash there faces, it's disgusting.

SFM porn artists are miles ahead of Bioware.

most of those millions went towards marketing and celebrity voice work

studiofow.com/

Bioware literally is getting BTFO by porn makers.

My faith in humanity sinks every day.

Someone mentioned it was due to new artists not being able to properly detail faces. Another suggestion was some kind of texture. It's got to be an all of the above combined with nepotism hires.

Which is doubly hilarious considering their games are devolving into porn. Are we taking bets on which one will turn out to be a shemale? I'm all in on peebee.

Ah yes, the tim shafer method.

One of the lead designers is literally a pajeet. What makes you think they know anything about hygiene?

Giant Bomb manages to make even Mario Kart multiplayer look boring so who the fuck knows how it will end up.

The worst part is the conversations don't even feel like conversations. They're just text dumps. Pure exposition. And it's not even good exposition. It's not only not relevant, it's not even needed. It *might* be worthwhile but given how ME lore has been fundamentally raped there's no reason to get invested in any of the shit they spew out, because it will all be hand-waved away by the next tumblr fan-fic writer they bring in from the clique.

It was stupid fun that made helped take the sting off of buying such a shit game. Especially when they decided to forget about lore and added volus and collectors to the roster.

While I am interested in what the game plays like in not babby reviewer mode, I would still never go past renting it for a bit.

Something was missing from that image. Too much negative space.

How the fuck would that even work?

looks like its mentally challenged

Makes sense, I've never seen a non-greasy indian in real life

dare i ask. what was the hero qualification in limbo of the lost?

...

Well shit, there it is folks, it all makes sense now why there are so many relatively white women and ugly alien women, he's thirsty as fuck and probably gets cock blocked by white men irl

I believe it's a calculated attempt to kill off all connections to the old ME to "make it their own". Similar to Legend of Korra lorerape of Avatar but instead of George Lucas syndrome the writers here just don't give a shit and are simply trying to distance themselves as much as possible from ME3 because of that massive PR disaster. The same one that kick started the events that would lead to burgers and fries.

im still waiting on the porn of the autistic asari. porn artists will make her attractive and ill finally have a reference when searching for porn of a retarded woman.

I'm more convinced they'll give her a dick and make her the pitcher in futa porn.All SFM porn is futaporn after all.

Please stop talking about this game, it makes me sad.

Odd distribution of asset designers. Spend all that money making backgrounds look and sound nice. But fuck a good story and cleaner mechanics.

No way, she's gonna have a dick ingame to showcase how Asari can be mono-gendered. It'll be their #ridethebull moment for ME.

A reminder people literally modded Pigface and Co from Inquisition JUST to make them usable in porn.

Pigface for example got all the grease taken off her skin and her face somewhat fixed just so people wouldnt use the originals in SFM porn.

THAT DAY HUMANITY RECEIVED A GRIM REMINDER
This is your holocaust, except real. Never forget. Never let anyone else forget either.

fixed

...

HOLY SHIT CALM THE FUCK DOWN HITLER

So how does the game end?

Poorly I'd imagine.

3 different, yet indistinguishable ways.

your twin wakes up, they're magically op, and together you kill your dad.

You defeat THE ANCIENT EVIL and then get ready to face new adventures in ME:A 2.

I thought whatever twin you don't play is one of your Squadmates. You mean there isn't even the chance for some sweet sweet incest in this game?

a classic video game ending thats hard to fuck up. things are looking good.

don't be ridiculous, before ME4-2, they have to shill for their dlc.

ME:A 2

I can fucking see it.

Really? I'm relatively optimistic that this is going to tank. The only thing funnier than ME getting shelved would be a second soft reboot.

I'm so sorry user, but you'll have to put them down. It's or the best, remember every second you put it off they suffer more.

The guy was captain of the mary celeste, you know, the famous ghost ship. In itself that's not too bad, it's just that he commanded a small merchant ship and wasn't good at it. However, the game treated it like it was akin to being president of the united states all the time, and that became ridiculous fairly fast.

You mean to tell me that EA wont milk the fuck out of Ass Effect. There will be an Andromeda 2

This is already milking the fuck out of Ass Effect. But between the only cute chick being a turian and every shitty bug, I don't think another game is going to happen. How long was this shitty thing in development for already?

Yes, you literally can. It'll look exactly like ME:A because they will just use all the same art assets.

In another DLC expansion.

I have all three games, the first two on Steam and the third on Origin because it was pretty cheap when I bought it. Was it worth it? I still haven't played the originals because I chainsmoke games and it's hard for me to break out of my "preferred" game rotation and stick with something new for a while.

Checked for those Hitler dubs

I meant more in the stupid naming convention going full COD.

Play the first one if you like older BioWare RPGs. Pretend the second one doesn't exist unless you want to sexually donk heads and cuddle with Garrus. Then consider sudoku for having an Origins account.

I think it was because some games were free or something, that's the only reason. Got Battlefield 3 and Dead Space 3 to play with a friendo, still haven't done that though.
I still haven't played either KOTOR games yet. Fucking end my life. I'm stuck in an MMO rotation between RuneScape (RS3) and WoW. Also TF2 and Gmod.

...

...

You kill your father or nuke andromeda.

why not both?

Haha no. They get put into a coma and presumably fuck off to the medbay for the rest of the game.

If you haven't already played any of them I'd say spare yourself the pain of disappointment and just avoid the trilogy entirely.If you already know what happens in the end, it's not like you'll be able to still play the games and have blissfully ignorant fun anyways

Yeah I know mostly what happens, but I'd still like having my own experience of playing them, even if they massively fucked up ME3 (they did; you know it, I know it, everybody knows it).

Just play the first one, Satan. The sequels aren't worth it.

Frostbite 2 was used to make Army of Two: Devil's Cartel, which actually does end up making good use of the damned thing.
Seriously, scenery fucking breaks off everywhere in the super-shoot-slowmo mode, the characters look believable due to mild stylization, the whole thing actually shines despite being a cover based shooter with a bad case of lens glare desert syndrome.

Jej. I suppose I could do that.

Then go ahead and play them, satan. At best, you'll have wasted 50+ hours of your life. At worst, you'll have played a trilogy that gets progressively shittier over its lifespan until it ends with no sense of gratification or meaningful resolution and be left with a heart-crushing feeling of disappointmentas was my case.
Just don't say that we didn't warn you beforehand.

I've been here since First Exodus, and browsed 4/v/ before that, so I'm well aware of the consensus on the shit that is ME3.

..But you bought ME3 anyways?

It was very cheap. I just had the compulsion to complete the series. That being said, if I end up never actually playing at least ME3 it's no great loss. Sunk cost and whatnot.

Since you've already purchased it (and if you do ever actually play it), try out the multiplayer. There was so much shit leading up to release about including mp in a long-established rpg series, but it was ironically the best part of that game.
Embed related, headbutting cerb grunts as a krogan is ridiculously fun.

There are tons of retards that buy shit because they enjoy eating shit queue in the picture of the "8ch Holla Forums" cancer- I mean steam group that bought Fallout 4 on launch

CoughMass Effect 2 DDE - All DLCS v1.2.1604.0 repack Mr DJ:6-72-2ea3-bd9-5888cffceb-83368-bb697-22fe-f866-27cough.A friend of a friend's twice removed sister's ex brother in law, may have told me it works very well, except that some of the options like film grain don't seem to be recognised.

Time for a relay explosion.

Nice, I'll check it out. A good friend of mine played a ton of the multiplayer and he really enjoyed it, from what I remember.

Yea I had like 400 hours logged into the multi, geth soldier was the best fucking class in the game.

Be warned that there is still an annoying amount of kikery, all items and characters are unlocked through random loot boxes so if you want something specific get ready to grind.

The geth were the best, the goliath or whatever it was called was fucking awesome. I really don't understand why they locked playing the ayys to the multiplayer, it's all I ever wanted in ME.

So the story of Ass Effect - analingus is that human go out to colonize a planet, are meet will local aliens living there and they are the bad guys for defending themselves and their planet from us?

The Juggernaut yea, he couldn't take cover but he had like 10 times the shield of anyone else and couldn't be insta killed either.

What gets me is how they're all humanoid type aliens, BioWare's laziness knows no bounds.

As said, it's chance-based crate shit so if you want to play legit you have to grind. But at this point EA no longer provides support for the MP so you can just use Cheat Engine to give yourself the credits you need without repercussion.

You can also "cheat" to be able to use the chat function in the game, for some reason they programmed a chat function in the PC version but net let people use it.

As I remember it's not really an actually programmed chat function, it's just when you input something into the console it will show up to the rest of your team

Did bioware just invent krogan guilt in the form a selfhating tranny krogan?

...

...

that's incompetence taken to a whole new level.

ahh the floating weapon this triggers me

Are we going to have a thread for this every hour before the game comes out?

can I get context behind that gif. Looks like someone might have a small string attached to her teeth and is pulling on it or something

I didn't even know ME 3 had multiplayer

How?

I really hope this is how Bioware ends.
We've reached a point where sfm porn animators do better animation than bioware.
It's weird that they had an entire race that didn't need facial animation (Quarians) and decided to not put them in the game. Fucking idiots.

Post more Marty.

As long as Mark is the small guy in charge, yeah.

...

Kill yourself.

They designed it so that you pretty much can't get the "best" endings unless you play the multiplayer for a good amount of time. Without it, all the War Assets are halved in value.

Damn, I was hoping that it would be good, even though I knew it was going to be another sinle player MMO filled with trash content like Cisquisition. Whatever I'll still pirate it, got nothing else to play.

Oh it definitely will.

Inexperienced animators + inept leadership is the only logical explanation for this.
damnit

Drew leaving with the beginning of the end for the franchise. He was the heart and soul of the franchise imo.

name your threads so people can serch the catalog for it nigger

The thing is that most normalfags don't and will never know about that.
They still say shit like "I'm playing for the story" and actually like cisquisition's storyline.

And yet it can be changed with notepad which completely defeated the purpose of the MP component.

Lets not forget, 1.0 MP had the dev console unlocked by default, so people just unlocked everything and went back to SP.

Huh. I honestly never expected John Walker to write something I could relate to.

Made me fucking choke for a moment there

Oi, chaps, what's going on in this thread?

The future of the UK is revealed.

Why do the female characters in this game have faces that scream out to be smashed with a hammer?

...

We're comparing to nu-bioware here, a fucking flipbook of a bouncing ball doodled on sticky notes is better animated.

I would be okay if people just look ugly. But they look like deformed freaks who only pretend to be humanoid. Why the fuck game 10 years older looks better than this?

Just goes to show how absolutely shit the game is. I guess the rat can smell the writing on the wall and is trying to salvage whatever credibility he has left.

Keep in mind this is the chimp that liked ME3, the ME3 ending (before the ending DLC was released even), so I can't even imagine how fucking awful Andromeda has to be in for him to come out so openly against it.

what if all asari have dicks?

And why would it look okay? If I have to stare at these people for hours on end then you better make sure they look pleasing to the eye. And no, being pretty does not mean they are carbon copies of each other. Just look at Witcher 3, all the major female characters look gorgeous without being clones of each other. All it takes is some fucking effort.

Sure, if you're going the Earthworm Jim or Oddworld route you can get away with making grotesque characters, it's all cartoony anyway, but even in EJ pic related is how a female character looks like.

There is no real reason to make female characters ugly unless you are motivated to do so by your ideology. There's dozens of other, better ways to make the character flawed without resorting to beating them with the ugly stick. Making a (female) character ugly so you can claim they are deep, multifaceted characters it the hack way of making a "flawed" character, done by writers that are incapable of writing anything but Mary Sues.

how many american genders can i choose from in the game?

You know, one archetype I've never seen in vidya is woman warrior who is actually terribly scarred. I mean physically, on her face. Not pretty scars either. You could have scars on Shepard, Garrus and Wrex both are heavily scarred, but there are no scars on women.
It would be a lot better than just giving everyone FAS.

Besides woman there is also man and old woman. And you are not supposed to like every woman you meet.

Midget and some creepy looking thing confirmed.

Nah. It would look much closer to this.

Here's the leaked list from the character creator.

There is no "attack helicopter" option there. Bigots!

What does that mean?

...

Swastika shaped dick.

you cum zyklon b

heh

FINALLY A GAME FOR MANLETS

...

Finally someone manly tears can see eye to eye with

I could swear I've seen it before, but I can't recall where. In any case, I wouldn't mind seeing more female characters with horribly disfiguring scars or amputations and other such deformities - especially if there are interesting stories behind those injuries.

SJW faggots would probably just gloss over any character building, remove any flaws the character has to make them as a sym-pathetic a victim as they could, and turn the whole thing into a "body positivity" moral lesson shitshow.

Balalaika best character in Black Lagoon. Why are there no female characters like her in video games?

It's almost like there aren't any good writers in video games these days.

Because Black Lagoon is tryhard, edgy shit.

Why the fuck does the Krogan have a fucking shitty voice that sounds like a boy who hasn't gone through puberty yet

Are you assuming xer's gender?

Isn't that supposed to be a female?
full veils are so problematic, so we removed them (tm)

Problematic tbh fam.

But aren't liberal women all about putting on the hijab to show their support for the progressive Religion of Peace?

Also, I thought the age of characters awkwardly staying still in place and shuffling uncomfortably while talking to each other was over. And why is the Krogan talking in a monotone, almost like VA is just reading shit off paper to just get it over with?

Do you guys realize this can be the very first product that cannot possibly be made into bestseller via advertisement and shill shenanigans? The quality is so unimaginablly low that when you present anything larger than 100x100pxs of content people will wake up electroshocked. Fucking Ubisoft netcodes are better

Adept with biotic combos, best thing in the game. Those loud explosions…
Although one thing I hated in ME3 was if you played as an engineer the amount of people who can't see the difference between a normal geth and a hacked one. I stopped counting the number of times that idiots killed my hacked units.

True, after more than 200 hours I still haven't unlocked that fucking promethean plasma rifle.

DA:I wasn't a bestseller either. After the initial week DA2 sales were abysmal. BioWare hasn't been bringing in the big bucks for a long, long time.

...

how in the fuck is that even possible? there are actual talented animators out there and they definitly have the budget to hire them. what the fuck is going on?

That's not mud, is it?

How new are you?

No, newfag, it isn't.

Solution: Your mother's husband influences her a great deal, warping her worldview' deal with him and she's done too. Forge evidence that he's cheating on her with a tranny, later when the coupling is undone point out tha blatant tranny propaganda in upcoming ME:A, that it's probably the main fault.

Beat up your brother, plant a seed of wanting to be stronger, make him go to gym, put dopamine into his drink every time he goes there to start up a pavlov's deppendancy.

Buy you sister something nice for great nonplebeian taste.

Hopefully with Bioware going bankrupt and CURRY THUNDER drowning in the Ganges.

Didn't they let him go already?

Here it is fellas, the product of catering to Anita Sarkeesian's demands for proper representation of women and minorities with a touch of "realistic" beauty standards.

PRE-ORDER NOW!

>colonizing an entire different galaxy
da fuk

It almost has "What am I doing with my life?" look. Also that face looks like character's permanently holding some breath for whatever reason.

It's chocolate pudding.

Jesus Christ, those characters are more mannish than Nerissa from Infinite Space - a character specifically designed to look like a boy for comedic effect.

How the fuck did they rape the lore anyway to jusitfy being able to fly 2 million ly in one sitting?

They all have their cheeks puffed out, like they're fat.

Now we can't even play as a woman, only a man or a man disguised as a woman. So much for diversity.

Something, something, they pushed beyond conventional bounds by no longer needing to discharge the static buildup on a planet - and instead use that energy as a power source.

Their colony ship is literally a perpetual motion machine.

...

I'm not trapped in here with you
YOU'RE TRAPPED IN HERE WITH ME!

she looks like she didnt understand a single word

The same way they got the Geth to take three Mass Relays, jury right them together and use them to look for habitable planets (because sentient machines give a fuck about breathable atmosphere and flora and fauna for food).

Just assume everything in the game was written by the mental cripples over at tumblr, the same people that believe human sexuality is on a spectrum and headmates are perfectly normal and no cause to be put in an asylum.

PeeBee rapes you to death.
First Person Camera angel with her dumb fucking face staring at you wordlessly.

She looks like she's being controlled by that one Jim Henson puppeteer who had a massive stroke, to the point he couldn't do his job anymore, but Jim was a pretty cool guy and didn't want to see him let go - so he gave him a job controlling background puppets that nobody ever really notices. Except somehow he's now front and center in control of the lead puppet.

FUG EAT MAH PUZY BIICH.

absolutely patriarchic

I'm gonna throw a guess out here and say the endgame is milky way tech advancing so far in those 600 years they pop in at the very end and go full spacebritain

It's not surprising. When you become a SJW hive the normal developers tend to avoid your shit because you're throwing up all the warning flags, while you pad yourself with "diversity" hires or anyone who is SJW enough to fit in with the "culture." Also once your reputation as a developer starts to decline, no good developer will want to join you because it actively hurts their career to be associated with failures. The only decent developers who will consider signing on with your team will want higher positions and pay to compensate for the career suicide they would otherwise be committing, and EA does not like "overpaying" their rank-and-file employees, which is part of the reason why once EA tanks a studio, it will never ever recover.

Basically, once a studio goes to shit, only shitters will work for them, so it's a self-perpetuating problem.

Then what did you get it for? Any job art-related doesn't give a shit about your degree. It's all about portfolios in the art world (and the game dev world, for that matter).

...

I can't wait for this to come out.

kek

The LOL thread is two blocks down.

the manfaced army.

Calling them manfaced is pure misandry. They're not even human anymore. Not even uncanny valley inhuman, just plain deformed.

It only gets worse doesn't it?

Apparently working at Bioware can be bad if you're not part of the clique.

Oh god it's like she had a stroke or something.
It's weird that the default female model looks retarded while the other presets are "ok".

...

Office politics, drama, and incompetent managers ruling the day is a standard throughout EA, not just Bioware.

It certainly explains the results. No competent lead would be seen dead with the shit posted in this thread because they'd have some pride in their work and the work of their team. These people simply do not care. They clock in, fuck around, clock out and get the bare minimum done. Worse is that it promotes the same thing in their team. If X can fuck around and barely get anything done and not get fired, why should I bother either? And so the behaviour becomes rampant. When someone new joins and actually does good shit, it puts the rest to shame and is likely to just lead to them being ostracised for it.

Looking over the review, part of me can't help but wonder if his poor grasp of punctuation and grammar aren't telling me something about his capacity to be detail-oriented and thorough. Maybe he's just not as good of a worker as he thought. He was working at Bioware, after all. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if his review was on the mark. It surprises me people would consider Bioware to look good on your CV though. Where the hell are they applying to. Eh, fuck it, most AAA studios are shit these days, so I guess it shouldn't surprise me.

I found another review about Edmonton on Glassdoor:

To be fair, it takes a massive pair of balls to put your real name next to a seriously negative review of your previous place of employment, because your next employer won't feel good about hiring someone who has no compunctions publicly badmouthing their workplace.

Well, that's true! Simple solution - if you (for whatever godforsaken reason) like the art, but don't want to support the artist, pirate it!

That's possibly the worst voice acting I've heard in my life. Everything about it is awful. You can hear the guy in his little badly soundproofed room emotionally reading his lines. Also, who came up with the idea of having A FUCKING FAG VOICE A KROGAN?

I'll take a stab and say that English isn't his first language. Bioware being a Canadian company and the presence of French words in the review.

…or he could be french.

Side-note: Edmonton is Bioware's best office. Austin and Montreal have both gone to complete shit.

The French words came from the glassdoor website localizing to your region. All those french words can just as easily appear in German or Japanese.

And this is Alberta, not Quebec. The French Canadians are Quebecois.

Here's the male presets!

PREORDER NOW!

ITT people face the fact that "engine" is a buzzword and they don't know what they're talking about.

It's all shit, dude.

How about you fuck off already instead of trying to "subtly" convince us it's not Bioware's fault Bioware is shit. This post of yours was so incredibly retarded on so many levels, and you're clearly not from around here.

All offices BioWare are shit, but some offices are more shit than others.

Also, I already posted proof of Edmonton (the best office) being shit, so it's safe to say you didn't need to point out the obvious.

I know, I'm the one who took the screenshot. I just assumed that english wasn't his first language.

2- Used to be the engineer in ENT
5- Wants to spread Islam
6- Discount Ezio
7- Left his pornstar carreer

Can someone post the webm where the girl is trashing the game and the 3 guys are trying to damage control?

This webm?

God damn it user i've searched high and low for that shit and couldn't find you
THANK YOU!

*it

a woman who is actually honest and giving criticism? i never. i love how she points out how broken the other games were and these fags are trying to undermine that opinion with "well its just a pre release built"

WHY?

It's our best work, user!
plz buy our game
i'll never find another job
plz

Since when do they let kids with down syndrome lead space faring crews?

And she's dickable, too.
Probably actually plays video games.

why do they all look so fucking greasy

its like they're wax statues from a Madam Tossauds knockoff in Saudi Arabia and the air conditioner broke

is this fucking for real? This is what the designers sat down and crapped out as the default options? How does a game from [current year] manage to totally fuck up goddam default choices that the average person would shift between??

They look worse than New Vegas

All their shaders are off.

To be fair, the presets in the previous games looked equally as bad. Still, they don't give a positive impression about the character creation.

David Cage BTFO

Who the fuck looked at that scene and said "Alright, this is presentable."

This is your world on autism.

The VAs SFW hires are absolutely horrendous and on the same level as Biowares tbh.

Fan-project?

Okay this goes beyond ironic shitposting, this is just terrible. The monotone voiceacting, the odd camera, frozen faces and eyes that haunt you in your nightmares.

And this is only the beginning.

Bioware became EA between ME1 and ME2.

What the actual fuck?

w-was there supposed to be a cut to the ugly broad on the left when up-pitched Nanjiani introduced her?

And why does Sarah Ryder have a goddam smug look on her chimpy face when she's letting people know her Dad is dead?

And that totally flat delivery from her when she finds out that Alex Ryder is dead, is this a joke?

Was there any creative direction at all? Are all the shots either extreme or medium close ups???

HOW HAS THE DIRECTING BECOME THIS BAD

look at her eyes when she blinks at 17 seconds, they have a seizure or something

what the fuck

How the fuck do you manage this
I couldn't fuck up this bad even if I tried

It's sad that these abominations with their fucked up faces have the most lively expressions Bioware has ever done. Sure the expressions aren't Bioware intended but this is a very compelling portrait of the discomfort, confusion and pain of a person with a neurological disorder.

how i expect review to go down

Fucking Oblivion, the game everyone made fun of for a decade straight for its shitty faces, has better face tech than this game. The Adoring Fan has a more natural-looking smile than anyone in Andromeda.

She also lied about being threatened with rape and is being sued for defamation for it.

Alanah please leave.

Well I didn't know about that, fatty.
Would rape her, though.

Didn't she dox a kid because he made fun of her or something?

I've seen better animation on a fucking Phoenix game, holy shit.

Is there a porn mod that makes the adoring fan give you a blowjob?

...

This shit has to be fake. Ubisoft made some fake game to tank EAs marketing or something like that.

Mass Psychos: Andromada

It's an official remake by the original devs of Outcast.

yeah, that sounds hilarious
