The original looks better than day one patch. She looks more feminine than the one on the left.

TheOneWhoIsTornApart2961d ago

The one on the left is the original.

UCForce2961d ago (Edited 2961d ago )

I see.

zeal0us2961d ago

My gawd the one on the left looks like Shrek's daughter.

Nitrowolf22961d ago (Edited 2961d ago )

GUYS THE DAY ONE PATCH IS APPLIED ALREADY, THE FACE ON THE LEFT IS THE DAY 1 PATCH. The article states this with its sources
This also says the current digital versions are patched versions.

apparently its a glitch when creating another ryder (male, then female), for whatever reasons some of the male ryders features transfer, notice her eyes went from blue to brown?

MasterCornholio2960d ago

@Nitro

So it's a bug that turns the main character into a transexual?

Ok........

donthate2960d ago

@cornholio

It is a bug that made the character better!

The original is the one on the left. The new face is the one on the right.

I actually think the new one looks better. She doesnt have that creepy look to her as much. The original had that super wide mouth and giant cheeks. It's still far from great, but it's a big improvement.

Nitrowolf22961d ago (Edited 2961d ago )

No, the day one update is on the left, as in the "new" one. The one on the right was captured from the stream, unpatched.

Also, apparently this is a bug that happens when you create a male ryder and then a female one, notice how some of the features from the male ryder defualts are there? Blue eyes are now brown?

tigertron2960d ago

They made her ears smaller too.

AnubisG2960d ago

Agreed! Looks so much better now. Why couldn't they make her look like this on the first place instead of that ugly monster that's on the left? I don't get it. The game got a lot of hate because of the ugliness of this character.

freshslicepizza2961d ago

the game i played in the demo was the one on the left, hopefully the one on the right is coming.

Nitrowolf22961d ago

No you are right, the one on the left is taken from the patched build EA early access, whereas the on the right is from a french stream, unpatched, but also potentially a bug that occurs when creating multiple ryders

joab7772960d ago

No way! The one in the right is better. But I wonder if it affects the character creation at all!

O.o the mágico of digital diet and exercise 🤷‍♀️

I really don't understand how the facial animations ended up so bad. I mean even the eyes? They couldn't add some f****** water to them? It's like someone put a blow dryer to them.

Really disappointed. I hope the rest of the game is decent.

Why do you hope the rest is decent? I hope you aren't planning on buying this mess?

Lynx02072960d ago

(NiteX) Yes, and if you like ME, don't buy it!

PlayableGamez-2961d ago

Thank god they got rid of those ugly Botox lips

2960d ago
KiloDaGreat2961d ago

No, the one on the right is the pre-patch Face. After the patch she looks like she does on the left, hence why no has seen the pre-patch face because everyone is playing the Xbox one EA access version which comes patched already

2960d ago
KRUSSIDULL2960d ago

I can confirm this play on EA Access it looks like the one the left

dadavis19922961d ago

IMO it's a huge improvement over the original

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.

anast98d ago (Edited 98d 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.

Ristul97d 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.

TricksterArrow97d 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_drake97d ago (Edited 97d 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.

ZeekQuattro97d ago

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

IAMRealHooman139d ago

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

anast139d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine139d 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.

anast139d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman139d ago

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

anast139d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman138d 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.

thorstein174d 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.

LordoftheCritics174d ago (Edited 174d 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.

XBManiac173d ago

Veilguard has better graphics.

neutralgamer1992174d 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.

OtterX174d 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.

H9174d 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

TheNamelessOne174d 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.

anast174d ago

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

TheNamelessOne174d ago

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

raWfodog173d 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.

lellkay174d ago

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

pwnmaster3000174d ago (Edited 174d 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.

Armaggedon174d ago

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

MatrixxGT174d ago

Wow, two worlds…red ringed my 360.

Armaggedon174d 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.

matt139174d ago

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

thorstein174d ago

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