That being said, I do love me some Bomberman, but not "$60 love" (in CAD). Probably gonna pass on it, myself. Though being able to own one copy and play with up to 8 people locally is a nice touch

Minor animation issues are not going to ruin it. As long as the gameplay is solid, I can deal with some jank.

Yeah, it just depends what you want out of a Mass Effect game. I've always found the combat to be drab and repetitive and OH THERE'S SOME WAIST HIGH WALLS, BET I SHOOT SOME FUCKS, so I usually just turn it down to casual to get through them faster and carry on with the story. Combat is better, but it's still just there for me. Problem is, when your character is smiling like a goof while saying someone close to them died takes me out of that part of the game.
The biggest sins so far from the trial are the awful character creation (which is getting patched apparently) and the god awful interface. you have to go through 5 screens to change your active quest because they're split into stupid folders, then realise you can't track that yet and have to repeat the process to change it. Then planet scanning takes an age because for some reason, they're really proud of their planet changing animation and you have to sit through it without skipping. Still, because I love the series, I'm going to treat it like a Matrix sequel. Sure, it's not very good, but godammit, I still want to finish it. I'll probably put it down after the trial and pick it up in the summer when things are a bit quieter. Got Nier, Horizon and Persona 5 which all play better to get through first and I'm still exploring that Zelda world. |

Not a ME fan or anything but I feel this game is getting a lot more shit for animated fuck ups than a lot of games with equally silly fuck ups.

The animation just looks really off from top to bottom. I played through ME3 recently and it's a notable downgrade. Plus people just look really weird all the time. When you're trying to do a game that's about connecting with characters, it all falls down.

It isn't. It's getting it because it's constant. The trial on EA Access right now has every single human character animate stupidly. It's not silly bugs to point and laugh at like with most games. It's the whole game.

It feels "clunky" but not nearly game/immersion breaking. Kalyx is right in terms of other titles having similar issues.
I've enjoyed it so far for what it is. |

Please name an example, it really is stand out bad. It's notable because you take certain standards of animation for granted today. If it isn't people being modelled out of proportion or eyes bugging out of heads, it's lip syncing like Pingu.

Well proportions are hard to objectively judge since that's all on the general art direction and perhaps they were going for something more expressive in certain games.
In my view very few games have ever truly nailed lip syncing and I don't even gauge that in any game anymore. GTA tends to be high quality in this regard, tho. Last edited by Kalyx triaD; 04-01-2017 at 11:18 PM. |

Thats awful. The ME3 model appears superior in every single way. Resolution, lighting, textures, poly count, general realism....I cant find one thing about the Ryder model that looks better than the Shepherd model.
