"My father is dead." She seems pretty happy about it.

[@sangresolida]

Fluffy Hellhound These characters will literally say anything and still not a single emotion is shown. I can only hope there's some atrocious moment in Andromeda where some guy dies violently with a blank expression and an emotionless voice.

why wouldnt she be? I mean he was a white male, obviously

It's as if the game was developed by aliens trying there absolute best to imitate human movements and facial reactions.

[@DrAnimePhD]

Luke Marshall Please. Alien races would do a much better job.

[@Tamamo-no-Bae]

Not necessarily. Lets take an example, Elephants have extremely complex ways of communicating utilizing a mix of low frequency sounds created by their feet, expressions with their trunk and such. How would you animate that? For an Alien it'd be just as weird to accurately animate our facial muscles and such. That does not excuse the bad body animation though.

[@lukexplay2097]

ok, but what about the story of the game?

[@Emilis2023]

And this is just the programming issues. What about the lack of creativity? We're exploring a new galaxy. This was their chance to go nuts with new types of life forms. But no, still the standard plant/animals/intelligent life. And as for the intelligent life, we get two human like biped races with new head crests and bent knees and the geth 2.0. They wear normal clothing, fly around in ships, and use handheld guns. I was really hoping for a little more effort. As for the planets, they are beautiful, but as far as I've gotten its just "snowy planet", "desert planet", and "jungle planet". This is such a missed opportunity.

[@staffyman11]

like they said in a developer commentary in mass effect 1; "we wanted to make a new species but it had to had the same exoskeleton as humans as to save lots of work on animations and such"

A games story can only get it so far. If the gameplay and visual quality are severely lacking, but the story is amazing, I'd prefer to just read a book. I don't want to play this trash because it's not fun to play, that's what games should be, yes, even heavily story based games should be first and foremost immersive and fun to play. If you have a good story, but cant make a game, write a book instead and I'll happily read it. Andromeda is not immersive thanks to its buggy animations, and its not fun thanks to its shoddy gameplay. Maybe the story is good, I'll never know, because it's a shit game, not a good novel.

[@funnykid7404]

After Cyberpunk, do you like TW3 even more?

[@TH_Zireael2077]

​​​@@funnykid7404 They both are stellar games with them having the major updates behind their backs. If anything is done right between both The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, is that all characters are truly believable, look believable, and have actual good looking facial animations and animations in general. Lots of other AAA games to this day still don't live up to the standards The Witcher 3 settled. Hell, main characters in Starfield look arguably worse than random street NPCs from Cyberpunk 2077.

[@tombrearley-smith5777]

Say what you will about 'Metal Gear Solid V' being an "unfinished game," but at least they don't have facial animations that are on par with an amateur student project like 'Andromeda'.

[@L3ON360Z]

MGSV was unfinished because of Konami. Kojima had big ambitions for the game but it'd take more time. Bioware rushed this game out and apparently EA would have allowed more time.

[@billwilson8267]

Shit, the entire Metal Gear Solid franchise is an 'unfinished series,' and I'd happily play any of the games there before this, if only because the story and voice acting is so hilariously bad I can at least watch it as a comedy and have even more fun wondering what the fuck kind of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made wasabi Hideous Kojima was smokin' when he was penning this goo-shit no rationally thinking person could take as seriously as Metal Gear fans take.

[@reik.1830]

[@gowestyoungman8184]

>Bioware rushed this game but apparently EA would have allowed more time > *apparently* > *EA* You reckon? They rushed production of ME:A to prevent it from taking up more of the budget from lootboxes and Anthem (which are not mutually exclusive). Add to that the fact that half of BW Montreal was made up of postgrad cosplayers and libtards (for 'diversity' and to skimp on costs), and you've got the recipe for one subpar game.

ME2 literally didn't advance the reaper plot at all, me1 ends "we need to find a way to stop the reapers" me2 ends "we haven't learned anything about how to stop the reapers, we wasted two years of our time on what amounts to a side quest,we need to find a way to stop the reapers" at least Andromeda set up any possible sequel decently well,while me2 actively fucked the over arching story of the trilogy

[@ethemk1421]

Ahhhh the memories. I remember how much I loved Mass Effect 2 by not knowing anything about it before starting, then finished the game with different builds and story choices countless times. I can't remember how many times it gave me a lot chills. The best 60 bucks I ever spent. I wish I could wipe my memory and start this beautiful game again. No wonder it is widely regarded as the best Mass Effect game to date, supported by the facts that it has got the highest rating and most awarded game in the franchise. www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/mass-effect-2/critic-reviews en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accolades_received_by_Mass_Effect_2 Reading the reviews and awards gives me chills as much as the game itself. What a masterpiece. Truly one of the greatest games ever made. I would think no Mass Effect to come will ever dethrone it. Totally disappointed with ME3 and Andromeda so far. We can only hope the next game take a look at Mass Effect 2. You don't need any examples how to make proper games than your own game Bioware. The answer is in front of your eyes.

5 years 40 million dollars and the game looks like it was made by a first-year underfunded company how the hell can you mess this up so bad? totale slap in the face for ME fans.

[@gowestyoungman8184]

Especially noticeable when comparing it to TW3, which was essentially self-published by a much smaller company and had a budget of $81,000,000.00 US. Sure, Wild Hunt's budget was larger, but much of it was marketing and voice acting for the 15 languages the game is voice-acted in. Add to that the fact that TW3 had a similar style of 'open world', and you can really see how much each studio cares about the game. For a game its size, TW3 was dirt-cheap (e.g. GTAV cost around $260 Million USD) and they made use of every cent, even having weeks of free dlc after launch and two stellar expansions. What EA did to Bioware is embarrassing and sad, and BW will probably join Visceral and many others when Anthem inevitably gets panned for the 'games as a service' angle clearly being pushed in the game. Long story short, EA cares only about themselves, while studies like CDPR care about the consumer that got them to where they are.

2:15 The moment of realisation that something goes wrong. This character is just screaming inside "What am I even doing in this fucked up place?" You can make so much memes from those faces, like seriously, look at this shit.

[@juanorihuela4128]

IvelliosSeannodel We can even spot how that character just delete himself from the game 02:33

[@Diree]

You don't even need to use the faces. The writing alone screams: "What are we doing here? What am I doing here? Whyyyy?" So far I haven't met a single interesting character, maybe Vetra...and that's telling of the game's state. Remember the first visit to the Citadel? Anderson? That Asari councellor? The Hanaar or Elcor or Volus embassies? C-Sec? The first time you visit the "club"? Speaking to the Council? That sense of grandieur. In Andromeda it's not "explore this station and see what you can find out". Instead it's "follow the orange quest marker, this shows you all you need to know. Ignore the rest."

I've been thinking a lot about these facial animations and i came up with two theories. Theory 1: All these guys are indoctrinated, and they look pretty good for husks. Theory 2: Synthesis ending in ME3 affected Andromeda galaxy and made all these people androids.

[@caav56]

I prefer the second one, only that for them, Synthesis was not complete (there is no characteristic greenish glow) and, because of this, they are still stuck in the middle of merge - not organics, not synthetics, not hybrids like the Milky Way inhabitants either. As you can see, it does not do any good to them.

[@BoneBullet]

Theory 3: Cryostasis destroys nerve endings in the face and may also result in partial paralysis and brain damage.

[@AAhmou]

Theory 5: They had altered DNA in order to survive the Cryostasis for that long, but it had mostly destroyed their facial muscles.

[@rmduwk]

Or theory 10 Andromeda initiative was about sending away all the uglies to the other galaxy. So ugly that even reapers did not bother to chase after them

[@eyokfla]

one of the BEST VIDEO on youtube. you just made my day! thanks!

[@GeminibBorn]

Its not that Fem Ryder is ugly, becuase I dont think she is, even tho she looks nothing like her model, its that her damn face never moves or emotes in anyway. Its like she is wearing a mask when she talks..its just so jarring because its not a mask....Or is it.

[@DoctorLalve]

It reminds me of that one facial animation mod for Fallout 4 where everybody looks too happy.

[@CarpeClunes]

This video makes Mass Effect: Andromeda look like a comedic masterpiece rather than a tragedy of programming.

Vampire Bloodlines had better face animation back in 2004!

[@EyeoftheU]

Vampire Bloodlines was really fantastic in that department. The NPCs where actually _acting_, like doing sweeping, dramatic hand gestures to underscore a point and fixing you with a Kubrick stare whenever they were pissed off about something. I can't think of too many other games doing the same.

[@soulshadowification]

[@karner1541]

Cyberpunk ?

[@StarContract]

Cyberpunk is not so sci fi so to speak, it's more... Cyberpunk. It deals with stuff like surveillance, and it all happens on earth with no aliens. But i might be the only person in the world that makes these kind of subtle distinctions. We need Rockstar to step in and make a space game. Like a full, hardcore, synthwave space game with their excellent writers and anti-sjw-manveer-crashing characters.

[@turtleonionsoup295]

Ilan Lakan Bethesda is already making Starfield. The true kings of gaming.

[@zhin8294]

Lord Papyrus Lord Papyrus Yeah right. More like true kings of bugs and glitches. Ever since the Witcher 3 came out alongside Fallout 4, people have (including me) realized that they aren't really the masters and the pioneers of open world gaming as we thought they were. They are just sub par. People are making fun of this game for it's stiff and laughable animations (rightfully so) but they forget that Fallout 4 wasn't really breezing through that department either. And when their game was compared to W3, a true master class in open world games, people realized that Bathesda has been getting a lot of free passes for quite some time now.

[@karner1541]

Have you ever played Gothic 2 ? one of the best open world i have ever seen in a game

[@Baleur]

2:03 OH MAN i love that so much! Maybe Andromeda was SO ADVANCED that they had real sentient AI characters, so they HAD TO fake the punch to not hit the other character in order to not have any self-aware entities being harmed in the game. Holy shit man thats revolutionary! So realistic AI that you ethically arent allowed to hurt them!

[@cosmosofinfinity]

Jet Set Radio and Gravity Rush music in one video?! You're an awesome individual.

[@max123season4]

I just dont get it, how something so essential as facial and movement animations gets pass the review process like no one at Bioware saw this and went "that's not how faces work". The fact that they even dared to put a game in this state out it's just shameful, even if this game its decent people are not gonna get pass all of this shit so nice job Bioware you really outdone yourselves.

[@mctorus]

Easy. You got hype, EA brand, ME brand, and huge amount Biodrones. Easy profit, no need much work. They all know this.

[@Golemoid]

Bioware is full of people who can't program or animate for shit, because they were hired for their gender, race or political affiliation.

[@99tropix]

The only reasonable explanation is that they re-did most of the game at the last minute, and EA was piling on huge pressure to release. I agree that it's incredible that this shower of shit passed QA testing. There are thousands of talented animators in the world, and Bioware doesn't appear to have the ability to hire any of them, despite their significant resources and attractive reputation. Truly staggering.

[@andrju3916]

wolfexnob And people will probably buy the shit out of it and make EA think that it's acceptable to sell a product like this

[@mathieugirard3918]

tbh animation is hard and takes a lot of time, especially when a game has so much dialogue. The game's budget would take a significant hit. Although even considering that this is quite shitty.

Having someone with wide-eyes and smiling mouth deliver a line such as 'my father's dead' makes them look like a serial killer. I have an ex-friend turned hyper-rabid SJW who looks exactly like her 0:38 it's scary.

[@Hadgerz]

Turns out you never know an upper middle-class white city girl until she realises she has to be an adult and pay her own way through life. Such oppressive realities of life weigh heavily on a snowflake's delicate, delicate shoulders. She was pretty cute before Gawker and the Guardian got to her. But that's all beside the point. The parallels become so obvious when you realise just who BioWare is run by these days. They've gone and released Andromeda as Steven Universe: The Video Game.

[@CognizantCheddar]

+hagz Cool sexism bruh, i hear that's very fashionable these days in our demographic. You're using 'snowflake' wrong, though. As for Steven Universe, it ain't my cup of tea, but its production values and QA take a steaming dump all over Mass Effect: Andromeda. Steven Universe's artists actually seem to know what they're doing.
