Triss looks like a realistic fantasy.

That character from Mass Effect: Andromeda looks like someone I spotted at the DMV.

They're both realistic in their own way.

Eva Green with red hair? #teamtriss

[–]TJ_McWeaksauce 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I just watched The Salvation on Netflix. In it, Eva Green plays a mute. She spend the movie acting with her eyes.

Eva Green is probably the best eyeball actress working today.

You should go search Sophie Dee. She is also an excellent... 'eye actress'. Yes.. that is what she is.

While I agree that ME:A's animations look like they motion captured a shimpanzee and not a human, this comparison is shit.

[–]croppergib 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (5子コメント)

I heard from a friend in the industry that they had mo-cap problems because the actors had a bad crash on the way to the studio which affected the production for weeks. This is why the animations aren't as smooth as the actors were wearing neck braces and were a bit stiff with the arms out to the side.

[–]Greystoke1337 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah, but mocap is mostly used as a starting point for animation. There is so much work involved to make mocap look good, it's unbelievable.

Source: I work in the VFX industry and has dealt with mocap in numerous occasions.

[–]TobyCrow 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I see a lot of CG-based artists who are good on the technical side and can add a lot of new detail and accurate sculpts, but they don't know the fundamentals of art. Appeal and art direction are much harder to do than copying from a scan or photograph.

Also consider the uncanny valley. The closer you get to artificiality-created realism the more difficult it is to get away with shoddily-done models and be convincing. There's just a bunch of micro-expressions and movements we expect from real life but since we only see glassy-eyed people here it feels very wrong.

[–]AradIori 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've been hearing good things about the gameplay of ME:A at least, but everyone agrees that the animations on humans is...well...shit.

[–]K3m0sabe 28 ポイント29 ポイント  (13子コメント)

Much to Bethesda and Biowares dissapointment, Witcher 3 is still the standard that they will have to measure themselves against... And fail miserably if Andromeda, Inquisition and Fallout 4 is the best they can do.

[–]Jonmad17 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Inquisition was a good game.

Inquisition was great though, not The Witcher 3 great, but great.

i'd break it down as a good game for a dragon age fan for the lore, an ok game on its own, and a bad game for someone new to rpg's

At least between comparing Witcher and ME:A, there is a proper discussion to be had. Comparing Witcher and Skyrim is like comparing apples to oranges, enitirely different things apart from the fact that both are fantasy.

[–]PM_ME_PERIDOT_BUTT 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (14子コメント)

There is a lot more to compare in the animations department, but other then that this is 2 different beasts. I just think we use Witcher 3 as a club to bash things we don't like. They even tried to do it with BotW

[–]whiting2017 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (13子コメント)

Yeah, but the difference is The Witcher 3 is 2 years old and ME:A is new. O_o

[–]PM_ME_PERIDOT_BUTT 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (12子コメント)

And? All mass effects have had bad animations. I don't play it to god damn nit pick animations.

I know what you mean and it is sad that the game can't live up to Witcher 3 and will probably get 7/10 maybe a 8, but I am still playing it and I like it. The world of Mass Effect is what I love about it.

[–]whiting2017 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (7子コメント)

The older MassEffect games were made like 10 years ago. O_o

What are you getting at? The animations were bad then and they are bad now.

[–]whiting2017 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (5子コメント)

DA:I has nice animations and a nice character creation. That's what we should be comparing it to, not a 10 year old game.

P.S. Mass Effect looked great when it released back in 2007.

[–]PM_ME_PERIDOT_BUTT 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Animation wise? Yea DA:I blows it out of the water, but remember for most that game ruined the series.

The original Mass Effect was a huge graphical standing point, but 2 and 3, not so much.

[–]whiting2017 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (3子コメント)

DA:I ruined the series? Where the hell were they when DAII released! DAII that was a million times worse than DA:I.

[–]BarryMikokinner 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I love the world of Mass Effect but I cannot stand the dialog and writing. I feel that the ME universe had such potential after the first game, all of which was squandered in the subsequent sequels thanks to the departure of key writing staff.

I also hate how Bioware shoehorns their identity politics into games via self-insert characters and dialog that rips you out of the immersion in the universe. Games like Deus Ex and the Witcher are able to make political statements in a subtle way that does not seem abrupt, but Bioware seems unable to do this. I don't play video games to be bombarded by this kind of stuff, as I get it enough in my day to day life, I play them to get away from the political landscape of North America. Unfortunately video games are quickly becoming politicized, as are comic books which I no longer read.

ME1 will forever be one of my favourite games of all time, but I just can't get over the fact that Bioware wrote themselves into such a hole with ME3 that they had to leave the entire galaxy and essentially start over.

I will definitely pick up the game eventually, but it won't be brand new or factory sealed. As a matter of principle I refuse to give EA or Bioware my money ever again after the ME3 ending debacle, and this includes their sport titles as well. I wait a few weeks then snag a used copy, and have been doing this on a consistent basis.

[–]PM_ME_PERIDOT_BUTT 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I don't know ME1 was the first game I ever owned for the Xbox 360 and I was kinda young then, but still loved it. I ended up playing the games backwards starting at 3 and going back, so my experience was off.

I love the world of Mass Effect and I agree Bioware can do better, but it doesn't mean the game is terrible. I quite enjoyed 3 even when people claimed it was the worst thing ever.

ME:A after playing the 10 hour trail has me hooked and I can't wait. The animations are sub par, but that doesn't take away from the story and fun of the game. Also the multiplayer is just as good as ME3 which is great.

[–]BarryMikokinner 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I played ME: 2 and ME: 3 as well and I enjoyed them, but I did not have the need to replay them as much as I did with ME: 1. I figure I replayed the first game about 7-8 different times, the second about 3 times, and the third about 2 times.

I find that with ME: 1, the universe had so much mystery and so much potential. I loved that Reapers were these extragalactic demi-gods whose motives we could not even comprehend (aka conversation on Virgil w/ Sovereign), and how it took the entirety of the galactic fleet to take down one Reaper blew me away. I expected to see these unbeatable behemoths and it pained me to see Reapers dropping left, right, and center in ME3 like they were just big capital ships. I was also dissapointed that their motives were stupid: destroy organics so they cannot build synthetics which will destroy them (btw the Reapers are synthetics). I dunno, the reveal felt flat for me.

ME2 was not as grand of a story but was more character driven and I have fond memories with that game. While ME3 has good moments (like shooting in the Citadel with Garrus), for me the game fell flat with some of the story decisions, the lack of impact from your choices (i.e. the Rachni still existing even though you killed the Queen, which was supposed to be the very last one), and the botched Deus Ex Machina ending.

From what I've seen from Mass Effect: Andromeda, I fear that the Bioware I fell in love with is gone, as is the fate of most EA bought studios. Most of the original staff has left, and what we are left with is a husk of the original studio. I don't think I will be able to get past the dialog, the terrible animations, and the poor facial renderings enough to justify spending 79.99 for a new game (from Canada). I will wait a few months until it drops to $40 used and then probably snag it.

To each their own however. I am glad you find enjoyment with ME:A, and I hope you have a great time. I just think that the crowd Bioware appeals to now and the crowd that Bioware began with are different. That is not a bad thing, but I don't think my tastes line up with them anymore.

Thanks man. I am sorry that Bioware has changed so much.

I'm not expecting Mass Effect: Andromeda to be a huge disappointment, but I'm also expecting it to fall short of expectations. Not a total flop of a game, but it's definitely going to have it's shortcomings compared to other games we've played.

[–]drysart 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Mass Effect: Andromeda is looking like its going to be another Dragon Age 2 -- a low quality cash-in rushed out by Bioware/EA before its ready.

They made the ME:3 lead writer the lead designer on this game, what do you expect.

I've read at least two previews talking about how the writing is a disaster -- shocking.

And my reddit feed is inundated with bad animation/character model links.

I really want this game to be good -- maybe just the early game sucks? Wishful thinking, but honestly, I'd be pretty surprised if it was anything other than a big letdown.

I guess we should reserve judgment until the final reviews are in, but it's not looking good.
