Shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, we've known for years that these people are rabid cannibals.

Sounds like a bunch of diversity hires in the art department got saved from the axe by dumb management and a 75 person strong HR staff.

The reviews, streams and shitposts all point to this game being my by the Bioware D team who made some big budget tumblr fan fiction.

i bet you guys didn't know the medical definition of mass effect
mass effect
Mass effect (medicine) - Wikipedia
A Mass effect in medicine is when tumor expansion causes secondary pathology. This occurs often with brain tumors.
So all you shit lords are missing the double meaning of Mass Effect: Andromeda. All the humans on the ark ship are suffering from a mass effect in the brain, which explains all the weird movements and expressions.

Some nice BioWare Defense Force going on there too. I especially like that one account with like 20 posts going full-on Correct The Record to everyone saying anything negative.

Not sure on that review. I find it odd that he mentions no UI issues, or the fact you can't directly control your teammates and the wonky AI. He even mentions comboing with your teammates, but leaves out that you can't order them to use powers.The visual issues go way past bad facial animations as well. Sounds like he's trying to apologize for the game.

He's obviously shilling hardcore for it. He's too hyperbolic about the combat to be otherwise and he had to manufacture a couple objections that wouldn't really impair a buyer's decisions. "Oh the opening is sooooo slow, that's a Con!" With enough cons like then yeah, the few pros would outweigh them.

Well, I have put in a few hours on it now via Origin pre-access and it isn't all bad... but it sure as hell isn't great either. The good is that the combat flows wells, the AI is decent on both the enemies and your team-mates, and the environments are very well made. The bad is, I really can't recall ever seeing such poor character models and animations in a triple-a title... At least not one where they were obviously trying to have lips-synced and psudo-realistic movement. Couple the jarring visuals with painfully weak dialogue and a pretty non-compelling story so far and ugh.
It's pretty disappointing. I was such a huge fan of the franchise I replayed the previous three in anticipation of this game -- hell, I didn't even mind the MASSIVELY maligned ending to 3 that much.. but this game is disappointing so far.
With the combat seeming solid the multiplayer will likely be decent (have not tried it yet) and I like exploration so I will probably drag my ass through it to the end, but this is certainly feeling like a mediocre-at-best game.
