Oh my actual god, Bioware, what the flying fuck have you done? Or, rather not done? That looks like shit. Been saying all along, Bioware lost their mojo under EA, it seems they dropped it under the bathtub and are now shoving it farther in trying to grab it.

It's equal parts sad and hilarious, to see once great developers screw up like this.

Dragon Age Origins is a masterpiece imo and that's, what, 2009? 2 years after they were acquired by EA? I think something must have happened after they were already with EA. because 2010 and onwards is when they're noticably shittier to me

What date did the two founding doctors leave after the buy out?

Yeah. It's pretty gnarly...
Animation is a hard job, and its even harder for videogames, especially that IK blending stuff. But it's her fish lips I'm more worried about.

Same here the shape of her rather large lips make it look like she's smiling , they must have got them from an old set of the jokers lips left over from batman , cheap from WB .

Yeah. I preordered this today just to play the 10 hour Preview. I didn't play much but I wasn't very pleased with the default character. I'm definitely making my own character with a smaller chin.

I think they were pretty far along with Dragon Age Origins already when they were bought by EA, they had a lot of control over the IP and development process, which seems not to be the case from that point onwards. It becomes quite clear that someone is holding a figurative knife to their throat during development and most of their games post Origins have had massive flaws that are not only unforgiveable in major AAA productions, but completely opposite of what we have come to excpet from Bioware since their golden days in the 90's.

EA ruined Westwood and Bullfrog, now they've tarnished what is possibly the greatest RPG developer of all time with their BS policies and conglomerate machinery shitting down the industry piece by piece.

When Mass Effect 3 came out, I watched a video that I thought was something like a "funny mod" on PC because the characters acted so weird during dialogue scenes, but then I saw someone posting that that was straight from the game.

Bad animation is a series standard, so I don't think anyone should be surprised that Andromeda stayed true to its roots. Those developers already had several chances to do animation right, so at some point it should become clear that they simply can't do better.

Um no.

An odd scene here or there might have funny animations but with Andromeda, every fucking scene, every character / eye / mouth / lip movement is awful.
