I’ll have you know destroy produces a living Shepard. All 1 second of breath intake.

Is the lip-syncing really as awful as the video shows, or is it just missing frames from the encoding?

May be rude asking about other outlets; but another review site have savaged the game... Saying the Writing is awful, a good number of the voice acting is bad; the Menu system is bad; side stories are basically fetch quests.....

It’s weird to see how positive this preview is compared to rock paper shotgun, where the reviewer there sounds like the game made him fall asleep, then killed his puppy.

I think it’s worse. It does really look more like Arkham’s detective mode.

It’s weird that your review is a polar opposite of rockpapershotgun.

Hey, HEY, don’t talk shit about the mako.

Two titles I see everywhere today “First x hours in Mass Effect Andromeda are very overwhelming/underwhelming”

IT’S TIME TO TAKE EAR—- whoops.. I guess we’re now taking someone else’s “earth”... wait does that make us the reapers?!

Could not be a more polar opposite first impression to RPS’s. Interesting.

I don’t remember the species of the alien in that GIF, but...

I’ve been looking at other previews, and was rather shocked by RPS’s take on it.

I see they still haven’t fixed the facial animations. There’s moments where you can see the crazy eyed look or the creepy smiles as they plot to eat your face off.

• There’s a whole lotta scanning in this game. You’re going to scan everything from containers to corpses, Batman-style.

Makes life easier for the animators basically. Mass Effect does have some non-humanoid aliens:

The game feels more on the scale of Dragon Age Inquisition, though I haven’t seen any filler yet.

I should go.

Patricia, are the side-quests actually interesting and well made or it’s Dragon Age Inquisition all over again?
