Honestly I feel like the death knell for this project was their focus on procedurally generated open worlds. Every time I've seen that be a focus in development in games this size its been a disaster. The fact that they had to swap script writers and basically come up with a story only halfway through was where it became clear that this was gonna suck
@@mep15067 That and putting to much focus on pandering to social justice ideology instead of just writing a solid story line. It was a cringe inducing story line that wanted to virtue signal instead of just doing what a video game is suppose to do, like entertain and give you an escape from the world. Not draw you back into real world politics and pandering.
@Oldie Wan I think that's mainly a you problem. You can criticize the writing for lacking the intruige and bite the older games had by having morally complex characters and realistic feeling and even dark world building despite the sci-fi setting. But the fact that you're saying social justice ideology and virtue signaling instead of any deeper critiques about the mechanics of the writing that ended in it feeling flat or underwhelming inspires zero faith in me that you actually looked at the story and tried to engage with it beyond recoiling like you got stung by a bee the moment you saw something that wasn't the fps space military game you got attached too in the first place.
To me it’s more like Sarah’s doing a smug face when her mother compliments her while not caring that’s she’s saying that on her deathbed. It’s like she’s going “Yeah, I know I’m pretty great, you don’t have to tell me”.
Somehow I think the developers just didn't care they gave up maybe they didn't agreed to what the guys in the office wanted or something must have gone wrong.
Other than the animation....well the lack of..what's with that line itself? never heard anyone say that in my life, the writting in this game is on par with the technical issues, I have a feeling this game was originally written in a foreign language and then translated to English using Google translator.
Why does every single line of dialogue feel like it was written ironically? They don't talk like people having a conversation, they talk like they're aware they're in bad fiction.
Havaria1 maybe that's why the characters in the game don't take anything seriously and they are laughing all the time . problem solved , the face expressions are not glitches they are intended to be like that :O
8:05 inexplicably makes me laugh so hard. the mom's dead eyes and dead voice, how Sara looks like she's trying not to laugh, Scott vacantly staring at his mother, completely unimpressed lmao

Depends. You do actually have to be skilled to make Gmod this uncanny. I'd rather say it's praising Gmod for its incredible powers that can produce uncannyness at this level. You just can't do this by chance.
9:53 gets me everytime. It looks so deliberate One of the biggest issues with the faces is that it seems like the faces keep defaulting to some general expression that completely ruins whatever it is they were trying to do with the qctive expressions
I've played previous Bioware games (Dragon Age series, KOTOR and SWTOR) and it's so prevalent in newer games that it's a meme. Once a character finishes talking or emoting their face defaults into 0-0 once their dialogue is done, it's so weird.
Worse than not far, they went the complete opposite direction. A good thing though, since it means they didn't shit on everything involved in the trilogy itself. Just the brand name and the usage of their species.
Bruh, to a novice yeah they're hard. But to Bioware? There are games older than almost 2 decades that have better facial animations than this shit. Story was shit, rushed, and gay as fuck. Concept was the only thing that was good, and the thing about concept is that is a concept...
I love how you could see he was confused when Shepard asked why he bothered to wear part of the N7 armor. Robot being more human than it gave itself credit for.
Your comment would be better written as “Legion was 100x more expressive than anyone in Andromeda” Since Legion doesn’t have a face, saying he has facial expressions is redundant.
And now you've got what happens when Legion's son spends too much time on the internet during bible study. A.K.A, V1 from Ultrakill. When robots with glowing circles for heads have more personality than living breathing characters, that should be considered an issue.
Coming back 5 years later, i still can't stop laughing. At 40 million $ this is one heck of a expensive comedy but the memes this game generated are still comedy gold.

The snappy and funny lines every 10 seconds thing is such an annoying cliche of poopy tier media nowadays. writers think people want everything to be a marvel movie.
remember when I bought this game, I excitedly walked out of the store, immediately tripped over my own shoelaces and scraped up my arms, hands and the case for the game. I think that was an omen.
"Finished the place-holder animations last night." "Great, we'll release the game tomorrow" "But we haven't even bug test-" "Here's $100,000 for all your hard work."
LOL you think the devs were getting properly paid for their hard work under ridiculous conditions. You funny guy. If they managed to make rent than I'll be surprised...
Just wanted to say, the side missions where you had to search random outposts, kill everyone, someone would drop a datapad (MAYBE), you then scan the pad which would give you another location to kill a bunch of people was the worst thing ever and I hope everyone involved in that design choice are still struggling to find work.

hell god of war even does better animation than this but after all it is santa monica studios big bucks and renown rep working alongside at dawn studios for psp versions
@@verloser well the new gow had a problem with wanting to be cinematic getting in the way of the gameplay, removing jumping, making the camera so close to kratos it's hard to dodge things so they gave you a traffic light for things behind you (and still added enemies spamming projectiles that make harder difficulties hellish because you can't see them), and adding unskippable slow sections that make it annoying to replay. Not a bad game but not as good as the other ones, yet praised so hard because IT'S MATURE, IT'S LESS LIKE A GAME AND MORE LIKE A MOVIE SO IT'S OBVIOUSLY BETTER, AND IT'S MORE SERIOUS AND NOT GOOFY SO IT'S SUPERIOR! The excuse of it having to be realistic is dumb, you're playing with a powerhouse that can do awesome shit yet you're limited to attacks that are so close to the camera you can't even see that spectacle well like in other action games. The rpg elements add no real depth so they might as well not be included, and without manual jumping you can't have setpieces that are actually controlled by you and fun to go through, instead it's done for you in a cutscene. The older gow had better gameplay and they aren't even the best in their genre. The story is good but in a game you should focus on the gameplay first, or else you make a visual novel.

How are they bad? They match the quality of the animations and face. Really though the dialogue sounds oddly mechanical in some instances and in others it seems like they just ripped it from somewhere else and I just don't care enough to look, and also they seem to have really horrible transitions - making me question "how is that the next line of spoken dialogue?" alongside acting of "First take or go home" and is...oddly empty feeling. My opinion of course but still.
They're bad because people don't talk/act like this. It just isn't believable and cliche. You're dangling for life and you yell/joke, " Hold me"? Like, what the actual cringe? The terrible delivery for the lines don't help, either.
I just realized it’s just the fact that they didn’t animate the eyebrows at all, they stay stationary the whole time no matter what expression Edit: stop saying the same exact fucking thing over and over without reading the other replies I meant that it was the main issue with the animation, in most scenes the eyebrows don’t move at all, which if you didn’t know is where humans see emotion on faces the most Of fucking course there are other things wrong with it stop fucking @ing me saying the same exact things that others before you have said
I don’t think it’s just the eyebrows. Emotions come through ALL over the face, pursing your lips, narrowing your eyes, clenching your jaw etc. it’s just blank here
The girl at 2:31 says "eyelash" but like you're saying, I think she means "eyebrow" (I mean, what would an "eyelash animation" even look like - the eyelashes simply move with the eyelids. Maybe she doesn't know the difference? Misspoke? Oh well.). It seems like there's actually some animation of the eyebrows, but they are put too high on the characters' faces and from there they can only go up and never down, meaning they only have two facial expressions: shocked and very shocked.
Yeah, that's one of the worst, and funniest, culprits. Someone smiling at you, while they confirm through a nod of the head, that you're correct, their father is dead. Who was in charge of the quality control in this game? Did anyone from EA actually play-test it?
@@OnigiriSuiko Too bad they shattered the basic lore on character builds with somehow a soldier able to immediately learn biotics for reasons. Not like they had to be exposed to Ezo, or take a decade of training, or need massively invasive mods to make that happen. Nope, just a quick jaunt to the loadout screen and you too can do biotics.
If your going to judge a game purely based off of some wonky face animations then your lost. Everything's good now and in hindsight the game is pretty good. I had a good time and I back the game.
@@themindset4164, "purely based off of some wonky face animations"... well yeah, that. Plus the other 20-odd-minutes-worth of broken shit that was showcased in this video. Sure, most of the bugs are probably patched out now but that doesn't excuse EA from releasing it in such a buggy and broken state to begin with, perpetuating the bullshit practice of using paying customers as Beta testers. Besides which, the game actively breaks aspects of story/character/universe lore from the previous three games, as mentioned by the commenter above. And on top of that, I've got about a dozen games in my Steam library that I haven't even looked at yet (dem Steam Sales), all of which are in far a more polished state than this was at release - even some of the Early Access titles. I'm glad you enjoyed it, but EA is getting no more money out of me for anything related to the Mass Effect franchise, I'm done. Vote with your wallets people, don't let publishers get away with constantly releasing sub-par products and just expecting gamers to put up with it until they get around to patching the bugs. Stop swallowing their bullshit, get off the hype train and stop giving out interest-free consequence-free loans by preordering.

"But we haven't even bug test-"

I would joke and say the game was probably made in China like everything else, but Chinese actually make better games than this.
any game makes facial animations than this
even minecraft has better facial animations

It might be some stupid boss telling everyone how it should look, and everyone is just "OMG, but whatever".
It's the same problem as with Cyberpunk. The devs knew the game isn't ready yet but EA insisted to release it.
16x the detail lol
@@verloser well the new gow had a problem with wanting to be cinematic getting in the way of the gameplay, removing jumping, making the camera so close to kratos it's hard to dodge things so they gave you a traffic light for things behind you (and still added enemies spamming projectiles that make harder difficulties hellish because you can't see them), and adding unskippable slow sections that make it annoying to replay. Not a bad game but not as good as the other ones, yet praised so hard because IT'S MATURE, IT'S LESS LIKE A GAME AND MORE LIKE A MOVIE SO IT'S OBVIOUSLY BETTER, AND IT'S MORE SERIOUS AND NOT GOOFY SO IT'S SUPERIOR!
The excuse of it having to be realistic is dumb, you're playing with a powerhouse that can do awesome shit yet you're limited to attacks that are so close to the camera you can't even see that spectacle well like in other action games. The rpg elements add no real depth so they might as well not be included, and without manual jumping you can't have setpieces that are actually controlled by you and fun to go through, instead it's done for you in a cutscene.
The older gow had better gameplay and they aren't even the best in their genre. The story is good but in a game you should focus on the gameplay first, or else you make a visual novel.

Habrid O'Young I've read better slash fanfic dialogue, and slash fanfic dialogue ain't good.
i haved watched worse porno movies with better acting
How are they bad? They match the quality of the animations and face.
Really though the dialogue sounds oddly mechanical in some instances and in others it seems like they just ripped it from somewhere else and I just don't care enough to look, and also they seem to have really horrible transitions - making me question "how is that the next line of spoken dialogue?" alongside acting of "First take or go home" and is...oddly empty feeling.
My opinion of course but still.
They're bad because people don't talk/act like this. It just isn't believable and cliche. You're dangling for life and you yell/joke, " Hold me"? Like, what the actual cringe? The terrible delivery for the lines don't help, either.

I just realized it’s just the fact that they didn’t animate the eyebrows at all, they stay stationary the whole time no matter what expression
Edit: stop saying the same exact fucking thing over and over without reading the other replies
I meant that it was the main issue with the animation, in most scenes the eyebrows don’t move at all, which if you didn’t know is where humans see emotion on faces the most
Of fucking course there are other things wrong with it stop fucking @ing me saying the same exact things that others before you have said
I don’t think it’s just the eyebrows. Emotions come through ALL over the face, pursing your lips, narrowing your eyes, clenching your jaw etc. it’s just blank here
@@ElleDeas They over exaggerate every movement on the face while being are twitchy and stiff.
The girl at 2:31 says "eyelash" but like you're saying, I think she means "eyebrow" (I mean, what would an "eyelash animation" even look like - the eyelashes simply move with the eyelids. Maybe she doesn't know the difference? Misspoke? Oh well.). It seems like there's actually some animation of the eyebrows, but they are put too high on the characters' faces and from there they can only go up and never down, meaning they only have two facial expressions: shocked and very shocked.
@@luobomu9747 no she meant eyelashes. She even gestured eyelashes. And she's also correct in what she says

OnigiriSuiko True, but the story was bad to begin with. Theres a lot of shit thats unfixable
@@OnigiriSuiko Too bad they shattered the basic lore on character builds with somehow a soldier able to immediately learn biotics for reasons. Not like they had to be exposed to Ezo, or take a decade of training, or need massively invasive mods to make that happen. Nope, just a quick jaunt to the loadout screen and you too can do biotics.
If your going to judge a game purely based off of some wonky face animations then your lost. Everything's good now and in hindsight the game is pretty good. I had a good time and I back the game.
@@themindset4164, "purely based off of some wonky face animations"... well yeah, that. Plus the other 20-odd-minutes-worth of broken shit that was showcased in this video. Sure, most of the bugs are probably patched out now but that doesn't excuse EA from releasing it in such a buggy and broken state to begin with, perpetuating the bullshit practice of using paying customers as Beta testers. Besides which, the game actively breaks aspects of story/character/universe lore from the previous three games, as mentioned by the commenter above. And on top of that, I've got about a dozen games in my Steam library that I haven't even looked at yet (dem Steam Sales), all of which are in far a more polished state than this was at release - even some of the Early Access titles. I'm glad you enjoyed it, but EA is getting no more money out of me for anything related to the Mass Effect franchise, I'm done. Vote with your wallets people, don't let publishers get away with constantly releasing sub-par products and just expecting gamers to put up with it until they get around to patching the bugs.
Stop swallowing their bullshit, get off the hype train and stop giving out interest-free consequence-free loans by preordering.
