Why I’m Not Too Worried About Mass Effect: Andromeda’s Character Model Problem

The entire internet has seen it and it can’t really be disputed, because Mass Effect: Andromeda’s character model issues have caused quite a ruckus.

Most controversial thing on the internet. Character creation any worry's?

joab7772975d ago

The real story is this. Imagine if in your job your boss said, do a good job and get some what you can, but you MUST, MUST do this and this, or all your work may be for naught. You go and create the greatest project ever seen, but ignore his instrutcions, and your reception is sunk.

It isn't the creator so much as the fact that ME needed to have an amazing launch, to set gamers at ease. To put ME3 in the past!

What you really should be worried about is the fact that the studio that made this entire game is the team that made the buggy DLC for Mass Effect 3 and the MP suit. I cant believe EA would give the most beloved franchise they have to a B team. So upset and will not support this. This is a huge middle finger to all of us who hold this series in high regard.

dauntingcookie2975d ago

I don't know how he got Mass Effect and Battlefield confused.

Kreisen2975d ago (Edited 2975d ago )

Dont forget one of the main writers is the chick who went on the news to talk about how she got molested/raped in GTA online.

Here is the video, shes the redhead

Profchaos2975d ago

There's no words to describe how retarded she is its not really believable

T2X2975d ago

Well, you don't understand why someone might be upset over that? You my friend need to grow up a little bit and maybe move out of your parents house, get married, have a daughter and wife and show them the "stupid" virtual rape and tell them it's stupid and see what they think. It's not so much that it's really happening to someone as it is the thought process behind thinking that shit is comical. Get it now?

@T2X
No dude... stop being so soft. Yes it's stupid as he'll but no one is getting violated here.

Well, I think people are over reacting. Try it first. I've never played a ME game, although I would of liked to. Time restraints and all. But I'm trying this one.

kreate2975d ago

don't understand ur logic. forget MEA. u should play the original ME trilogy its like $4.94 for the entire epic bundle .... until u get to the rainbow...

DevilishSix2975d ago

Actually it is their C team or what I like to call their third string quarterback. This is the team that made Army of One games and those were very average at best.

georeo2975d ago

What happened to the a team? I'm clueless to what's going on with the development

Rachel_Alucard2975d ago

Bioware Edmonton is the original devs from the trilogy. They have been working on a new IP since at least 2013 and the ME franchise was handed off to Bioware Montreal since then.

Kaneki-Ken2975d ago

Actually Bioware have different teams. The original Bioware team that did Me trilogy is not doing Andromeda rather Bioware Montreal which is team B. This is what happens when the Original dev and writer continue the series.

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen2974d ago

The people responsible for the character animations and dialogue should never be allowed to work on anything above 64 bit games. What's even more puzzling is that this author seems to be completely dismissing the fact that this game is not AAA quality. EA is slowly regaining the title of "worst development house in gaming."

Congratulations EA! You deserve it!

It's clear they are in it for the greed.
Delay this crap for six months and iron the problems out.

Aenea2975d ago

Isn't every for profit company?

morganfell2975d ago

You are confusing profit with greed.

Artemidorus2975d ago

Yes but people who give a crap normally work with pride not laziness.

Ristul2975d ago (Edited 2975d ago )

Actually, the founders of BioWare invested all they had to create the company and it's first game, why did they do that? Because they loved gaming, and making games was something they were passionate about. Making money was important since it allowed them to keep working in the field they loved.

EA however, seem to care only for making money. I doubt the suits at EA care much of the games, they are just looking for the next big seller. That is the reason for the outcry from fans when we found out about EA buying BioWare, we didn't want BioWare to be governed by the entity called EA.

Get some perspective: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

girevik2975d ago

@Ristul

You're absolutely correct in your post. The real irony is that if you allow developers to put all their love and passion into a game the end result most likely will be increased profit. But if you focus only on money you devalue the game and lose more money in the end.

morganfell2975d ago

EA remains one of the worst gaming companies in the greed department. I remember when Battlefront was announced and they said no Space Battles. I lit into them discussing how BF1 and BF2 had them as staple. Half the time many of us played those titles we were flying. I was attacked immediately on N4G (it's in the post history) and told Battlefront had nothing to do with BF1 and 2.

Posters on this site saw some graphics and then turned into EA sheep.

Then I warned people well within days of the EA confirmation that Space Battles would not be included. I said, "Watch them claim Space Battles are not important or doable. Then wait about a year and they will sell them to us as DLC." I stated that players might get a map or two but most of it would be sold back to us. Make half the game they used to make and then sell the other half to us. Criminal really.

And greedy.

Artemidorus2975d ago

Profits to the point you the gamer gain a lazy beta, that in itself is greedys and rushed.

Look how many extra editions they made, it's pure greed.

Perjoss2975d ago

Easy solution to this problem, wait for the goty edition and get it when it's super cheap.

pressjudge2975d ago

They launched to soon in my opinion. The game is great and all but the graphics do lack some work.

gwumper9872975d ago

The visuals overall seem great to me (I played in early access). That is until you look at someone's face, then you are mildly terrified.

Gaming4Life19812975d ago

I agree I have been playing in early access and the faces at times look like wtf but I am enjoying the game and Im sure all the haters will too when they play it.

notachance2975d ago

@gaming4life sure, if I got to play it for free... but shelling out $60 just to give the game a chance seems a bit too much, maybe next year when it released for cheap and includes all DLC I'll have a try.

Krysis2975d ago

Yeah that boggles my mind, it's almost like they meant for the faces to look this way. I'm mostly loving the game. The combat is really good and the traversal is so much better with the added boosts. Even the soft cover system is decent. And the story has me interested and in only 3.5 hours in

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen2974d ago

There is no way in hell that I would ever buy this game at full price. 19.99 for the GOTY Edition? Sure!

Profchaos2975d ago

Yeah but in motion it's much less weird my main issue with the game is the poor frame rate on console and so far in my experience weak dialogue choices with no impact

Specter2292975d ago

Turn off the grain filter on the video options. It helps a little bit.

For All Its Flaws, Mass Effect: Andromeda's Approach to Romance is Something ME4 Can Learn From

While Mass Effect: Andromeda was let in several key areas, one of its approaches to romances is something Mass Effect 4 should consider revisiting.

I hope Mass Effect 4 ignores the inferior prequels and instead closely follows the far superior Mass Effect: Andromeda and Dragon Age Inquisition.

anast111d ago (Edited 111d ago )

Mass Effect 4 should just make Mass Effect 1 but better with current tech. Fans would be happy. As far as romance, they should take notes from the Witcher and Cyberpunk.

Ristul110d ago

Later Bioware games have to little build up. You can have a normal conversation and all of a sudden BAM! The character you talk to becomes super flirty.

TricksterArrow110d ago

Reminds me of Baldur’s Gate. I wanted to practice some magic and Gale made it super weird. Not even gonna mention Astarion.

gold_drake110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

iii dunno about that.

the only really great and funny dating partner, is that outlaw guy anyways haha he was funny as hell.

other than that, i found every character to be very annoying.

ZeekQuattro110d ago

Shout out to Keri the Asari reporter. Current relationship status be damned as she's game either way. Anything for a good story. 🤣

One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!

IAMRealHooman152d ago

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast152d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine152d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast152d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman152d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast152d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman151d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

BioWare Thinks Mass Effect Andromeda Was Better Game Than Reception Suggested

BioWare thinks Mass Effect: Andromeda was a better game than what reception suggested; taught the studio not to shoehorn open-world without any meaningful content in it.

thorstein187d ago

I played it and it wasn't as bad as people said. Is it in the 8-10 range? No.

It's a 6-7, which means it's a solid game.

LordoftheCritics187d ago (Edited 187d ago )

Veilguard and Andromeda are of similar level to me.
6 to 6.5 ish

Though I think i enjoyed Andromeda's combat and sense of scale a little bit more.

XBManiac186d ago

Veilguard has better graphics.

neutralgamer1992187d ago

I agree with you It was a 6.5 type game. Gameplay was solid everything else was lacking. Playing at launch with all the issues was just absurd. EA could have let the developers keep patching and fix the game but they stopped just like they did with anthem. It’s crazy to think multi billion dollar publishers can’t afford to keeping patching their games get medium size developers can support the game for years

But when you have android wilson running the company what else can we expect.

OtterX187d ago

Except 6-7 doesn't translate as solid. 6 means a bit flimsy, but still good/enjoyable if you can look past the flaws. 7, a little less flimsy, and enjoyable. 8-10 would be "solid".

But I get your point. I skipped the game entirely, so I don't have an opinion on it.

H9187d ago

I played this game back when I wanted to give every game I bought a fair chance and finish it, it was the reason why I stopped doing so, god the game was bad

TheNamelessOne187d ago

I actually enjoyed Andromeda. It wasn't a 10/10, by any means, but I played it years after the fact, after a lot of patching, and I had a good time with it.

anast187d ago

Same, I enjoyed it too. I might even replay it soon.

TheNamelessOne186d ago

Might do the same, honestly. Went through the trilogy a couple months back.

raWfodog186d ago

I liked it as well, and also played it for the first time over a year after it was released. The original trilogy was a better story overall IMO but I still enjoyed Andromeda.

lellkay187d ago

The game is so unbelivably bad, it's laughable.

pwnmaster3000187d ago (Edited 187d ago )

It really wasn’t. Well for me nd I’m a big fan of the series.
Was it mass effect standard? No
But overall I thought it was a decent game.
6-7/10.

Armaggedon187d ago

You might want to try playing a truly bad game. Go boot up two worlds or gollum to get the perspective you need

MatrixxGT187d ago

Wow, two worlds…red ringed my 360.

Armaggedon187d ago

Lol. Its one of the only games that I have experienced buyers remorse with. The only one I can think of is riders Republic.

matt139187d ago

So delusional, the title was an embarrassment to the original trilogy. it’s the equivalent of 2042 to the battlefield franchise.

thorstein187d ago

2042 had a redemption arc and what exists now is a pretty good FPS.
