Since I really enjoy Mass Effect, and since some of the criticisms about facial animations is not that big of a deal to me, any meta above 70 is fine by me. I've watched one of the montage videos of crappy graphics in ME:A and I gotta say, none of it particularly bothered me. And I expect some of it will be patched. After the Naughty Dog explanation for the facial animations, I'm going to go ahead and blame the EA top brass for telling Bioware "no more delays for tidy ups". |
Yeah, that's not a good comparison at all. One was an "interactive narrative experience" expected to get a 70 at best while the other is a sequel to one of the most respected WRPG franchises of the previous gen.
And Naughty Dog's explanation actually makes me put most of the blame on developer leadership and not publishers. EA I assure you didn't tell them to try and hand animate all the faces, that was one of the lead developer's calls. And one that they really should have known was an absolutely terrible idea.
