beautiful

take my money already

New ship is apparently called Tempest and the main character is _____ Ryder. :D

GIMME. GIMME. GIMME.

Note: That version is running on the PS4 Pro :p

Glad there wont be a massive wait for release :D

My copy has been dispatched! :D

Apparently, don't use the default Sarah Ryder, a lot of the animation issues seen are mostly down to her face specifically.

I have to admit I'm sort of concerned about some of the voice acting I'm hearing though :umm2:. Bad animation / character models etc. I can handle, but bad voice acting will grate.

I had it pre-ordered till a few days ago, I didn't really want to pay full price for what looked like a buggy incomplete game. I'll pick it up when it's on sale.

i was gonna get this but i'm NOT here for a 75 metascore

no

Been playing all today, I've actually really enjoyed it, it's very Mass Effect-y still, I'm still in very early parts of the game too, also, I used a custom character and the facial animations have been absolutely fine.

I haven't heard any reports of it being incomplete narrative wise at least... there aren't missing chunks of story / sudden jumps in the story or anything like that and it seems to have plenty of content. Incomplete in the sense that (from what I've seen, anyway) a lot of the animation is buggy and some of the dialogue seems like a "rough draft", yes. A lot of reviews pointing out that plenty of the voice acting is fine but then some of it is completely abysmal. Suggests to me that they've skipped a bit of quality testing / re-recording lines, to me.

It definitely feels like a full on Mass Effect game, I've spent around 7 hours in the game and just completed the second planet's main story. Honestly the animation/voice acting is nothing we haven't seen in Mass Effects 1-3. My only real complaint is the character creator isn't too good.

True, I guess the issue is that Mass Effect 1 was 10 years ago, and Mass Effect 3 was 5 years ago. They're up to scratch with games that are firmly PS3/360 era... but have really fallen behind in terms of current games, which is a bit odd for a highly anticipated AAA game I guess?

I'll still play Andromeda of course, I don't know that I'm willing to pay full release price though.

True, though, I feel people comparing ME's facial animation to Witcher 3's is dumb, given that Mass Effect's characters are customisable, which means that they can't do minute details like in other games, same goes for Fallout, which also has dodgy (and very stilted) animations. The game more than makes up for it in other departments, the combat is so much better than it used to be, the jump jet was a great addition.

I'm about 40 hours in now, and the game has really started to open up, its starting to feel very Mass Effect-y.

Very excited to eventually get this. Might wait until it drops below the 40 quid mark though, I've got a couple to tide me over in the wait

Yeah, I'm waiting until the ... "price"... drops on PC. :umm2:...
