Mass Effect Andromeda: Shitstorm Edition - RIP Biowear

[Sinner's Sandwich]

Well to be fair: it's supposed to be awkward - that's why the Alien guy says: "Kill me now".
But if their serious moments are also like this then "kill Bioware now".

That video makes me realize just how important Jennifer Hale was to the series and how much I am going to miss her not being the female protagonist's voice.

I cringed

Why is everybody incapable of emoting? That's the flattest performance of awkward flirting I've ever seen

 

[Lackadaisy]

fem! Ryder's face is slowly becoming endearing to me.

I'm highly conflicted, if I'm honest.

On the one hand, it has more red flags than a Communist Party conference - microtransactions, day one DLC, boring characters, an idiot plot, bribing your way to victory multiplayer, and Tumblrina pandering.

But on the other hand, it is space opera, and I like space opera. I know I've said I wasn't going to buy it, but I'm tempted to buy a copy just to see if it is as godawful as made out to be.

I've done about 5 or so of the 10 hour demo, and I can't say that it's horrible. It's certainly not up to the level of the previous games in terms of writing, but the combat is about as polished as it can be, and the bugs aren't too glaring if you're not looking for them. The Nomad thing doesn't handle like ass the way the Mako did, and the mining thing for it is literally pushing two buttons. No "minigames" so far, fortunately.

Does it give you the stress shits?

Naw, I mean I had just found that post myself; but congrats to you sir.

I sincerely hope he's not just a troll, but the account was recently opened so... :late:

Even in terms of deliberate awkwardness it's bad. This kind of behavior is something you'd expect from high schoolers. Not a crew of rough n' tough space commandos.

Who could have seen this quality of writing coming??

I still don't know if this is real or not.

It isn't. It's a fake tweet that went viral after some alterations.

Idly: Manveer just left Bioware. Got confirmation in the David Gallant thread.

"I think you're cute and I like seeing you up here."

SOMEONE ACTUALLY GOT PAID TO WRITE THIS!

How does one get out-written by BRIANNA FUCKING WU?

I find it funny he's gone and founded an indy studio... but won't say its name or what its going to make so people can avoid being duped into buying the screaming shits' game.

It's kind of like that cat that got its face ripped off as a kitten. You're all, "Well he still looks like an abomination unto the Lord, but awww."

 

[The Fair Lady]

I cringed

"Oh my goodness Ryderrr" *goes back to work*

 

[RIP_SANITY]

This might as well be considered the theme song for Bioware's downfall and ME:A or hell, ME as a whole.

According to this guy some much better character models for Sarah Ryder exist in the games files

See that other model is exactly what I always thought Sarah was supposed to look like.

While the one on the right does look a hell of a lot better, it still looks just kind of...off somehow. I dunno maybe it's just me, but Fem Ryder's face has this bloated look to it; be it the old or new one. I feel like all they'd have to do to get it looking like Jayde Rossi is unpuff her cheeks, slim her face and jaw, and make the tip of her nose a bit smaller. All things people could do if they didn't purposely lock out those exact face customization options.

I always figured she should look like this

Spoiler

Especially considering how Dude Ryder looks almost exactly like his model

Hahaha, they intentionally uglied Ryder up. Who the fuck does that?

With all the shit being released (unbridled arrogance from Bioware, purposely ugly character models, no white/East Asian characters allowed) I hope Bioware is fucking executed out back by EA for this, because they are irredeemable at this fucking point.

 

[Ponderous Pillock]

I'm busy trying to think of what I could've done if my company had 40 million dollars.

I need more scotch.

 

[Internet War Criminal]

Do I even have to say anything about this?

I thought this was a fucking joke.

Well, I mean this whole thing is clearly a farce, but still

Vee, the crazy Romanian Brianna Wu attempted to mass-DMCA off Youtube, recently was given the game, and showed off the character creator.
