Gameplay looks solid enough to me - animation quality and acting really don't make or break games to me. Most games I enjoy I skip through excessive dialogue/etc through even on a first playthrough anyhow. (i.e. Horizon I enjoy a ton, but I still speedread and skip through most conversation/cutscene stuff)

So you don't care about animation, acting, dialogue and plot(in a narrative-driven game). Bruh, why even waste your money?

Don't worry Vaclav, I got you bro.

I'll be seeding every major scene release for this game as soon as a good crack comes out.

I think the success of DA:O and ME1/2 locked Bioware into having a special title for all the protagonists whether it be Spectre, Inquisitor, Warden, Champion or whatever.

I don't really think that's a bad thing for Bioware games. You're not supposed to be a nameless dude like it's an MMO, or to forge your own destiny in a elder scrolls game.

But everything about a "Pathfinder" identity seems retarded, and I haven't seen any footage to witness the character problems Lithose is describing.

Personally, I don't want to play a flawed protagonist whose ingame personality grows and changes. If I evolve from not taking a game seriously and clowning all the dialog options at the start to taking it seriously and being noble in the end, I want that to be my choice. And if I go from noble paladin to dark jedi because I'm tired of everyone's bullshit, that should be on me.

day old at this point.

but yeah, every game does this now.
Dovahkiin/dragonborn as noted. 'Exile" in path of exile., as well as more specific class. witch/duelist/ranger, etc. "nephilim" in Diablo3. "Avatar" in Ultima. "nameless one". vaultdweller. Giving a playermade character a title to be referred to is standard procedure.
I obviously predates bioware. Although I would agree more games are doing it, and moving away from the generic "hero, adventurer, boss", that more generic games do.

You can make anything look terrible if you take all of the bad shit and show it in a highlight reel. That being said this game is certainly not a day one purchase, but I don't know if Bioware fucked up enough with animations/dialog to completely ruin the game.

Also they really fucked up with the review embargo, 10 hour trial, and overall marketing for this game.

It's hilarious. Because they media blackout everything because they know they have a pile of garbage on their hands and are trying to protect day one sales. They stall marketing in the same regard. Then someone who has ethics over at EA decides they should move forward with the 10 hour trial and everyone cancels their orders after seeing first hand how horrible it is. And now the shills (Some fanboys, some are paid) are saying they are all latching onto multiplayer and since when did anyone play a Bioware game for the story, it's all combat experience and multiplayer lol.

Oh. Ok.

Uncharted 1 had better acting, facial animation, etc and it's ten years old.

It's a day one purchase regardless for the wife (esp now that she's getting glowing reviews from friends doing the EA Access preview - already was before though) - but I don't let the attitudes of a single person influence purchases anyhow.

Haha there is a guy I work with who is excited about this game... I wonder if he's seen any of this shit and if he hasn't then I wonder if seeing it would stop him from buying it...

Because games are fun and cheap? In this case it's not even my money, since the wife is spending hers on it.

Ok, all jokes aside..."My face is tired"?. Was this written by illiterates? ESL students? It's not just bad, it's not how people speak English.

Are these wonky renderings coming exclusively from the PC version or are they from all the platforms? I only ask because PC ports have a somewhat uneven history for simultaneous releases like this.

It also is striking that the tech demo that was first shown at E3 something like 2 years ago has vastly different rendering styling than what we are seeing at release. Their adoption of Frostbite3 was or was not in place at the time of that tech demo?

You should tell her to give you that money to buy a real game with it.
