I find it to be exceptional that the people who make porn with SFM come up with more believable facial expressions and body language than these clowns.
 
That's the funny thing to me. I've seen better lighting, animation, expression and scene composition from fucking amateur porn animators doing it in Source Filmmaker. I hope this garbage bombs.

you also forgot the literal fact that the dude behind the shitshow is a racebaiting lib and the leading animator is a direct graduate niBBa
there's no real excuse at this point in time. EA fucked up, montreal fucked up and unless they pull a 180 and have the best script possible this game is going to fucking tank.

also goons want it to succeed. therefore it is doomed

Goons nowadays are fucking stupid as dogshit and have terrible taste, they are like modern games reviewers, trying to go against those evil, evil gamers. They're just retards who are typically always wrong and irrelevant.

@Techpriest
do you mind linking these 12 concepts? I can't find them on google. IIRC the game at one point was intended to be a prequel to the trilogy, before they scrapped that. I'm fairly curious as to what concepts they had for Andromeda's plot before they got scrapped.

I'm just guessing on the 12 scripts part really; but to me it seems obvious there was some serious rewriting

That's the really funny part - porn is always at the forefront of new tech. As such, people have seen what good animation looks like, lewd as it may be.

>tfw a couple of dedicated SFM porn makers create better looking animations and storylines than a 5 year, $40 million dollar game

Alpha Protocol ended up being really good actually.

Probably even better than if @Techpriest ate the fucking hat but I guess we'll never know

Oh, don't mistake me, it's one of my guilty pleasures, but given the amount of time it was in development it clearly has a lot of issues (and it's much less buggy today than it apparently was at release).
 
Yeah Alpha Protocol was fucking awesome and I wish it had a sequel or other games like that. It was one of my favorite games of that era. THAT'S how you make a game where your decisions drive the story

She looks like she got stung by some fucked up insect that, on top of everything else, killed all nerve function in her face.

Also, what's with these fuckers?

From what I've seen of the game so far I expect, once the language barrier comes down, the first translated sentence out of this guy will be "we waz kingz."

Yeah AP was the shit, it really deserves a sequel. As long as Obsidian makes it, and they don't get rushed.
 
Sad that Obsidian's legacy is getting fucked by publishers. Also the amount of sheer hate this game is getting is hilarious. It seems like everyone loves crapping all over it.

Mass Effect games set a really high standards. This game was hyped. If this was an idie game, it would have been given at worst lukewarm response. But ME was one of the arguably best quality titles out there, so the bar was set pretty high, and this game already started with a handicap (hah) since it was not about the iconic Shepard.
 
Shepard was also not a complete blank slate in the first one. Right in the begining, we know why he is nominated to become a spectre. He is a war hero who has seen shit and has earn respect. The Ryders? Shit, All I know is that their dad is a pathfinder and they become one themselves by default. This ain't fantasy, nepotism is frowned down upon in the future.

Agree, everything suggests the Ryders are just a pair of uplifted nosebleeds with no real business doing what they're doing. I wouldn't mind this if that was the point, but from what I see the game just immediately puts you in charge and everyone's on board with it. I'm sure there'll be at least one grouch who mumbles about some dern kid running the show but he'll have no real influence or bearing on anything.
 
All good points. Plus "deciding what planet is good for colonisation" is not an easy task for a single person unless you are an Errant Magos of the Mechanicus.

You have to consider the following:
-Strategical location. Is it too close to the not-collector pirate fleet?
-Natural resources. Is there enough unobtanium here?
-Orbital hazards. Is the system full of asteroids that can ruin the colony's day in 40 years?
-Planetary environment, seasons, global weather trends. We don't want the planet to be like Fenris with a short fiery winter with earthquakes than frozen over for 3 years.
-Biochemisty. Is the air full of toxic pollutants? This came up in ME1.

So you have to be a scientist who knows about biochemistry, weather physics, astronomy and some sort of limited combat awareness too. That is not something that you can get right easily.

Even for a highly trained person, this is one hell of a task. But for some kids who just woke up to inherit Daddy's title?
