To me it’s more like Sarah’s doing a smug face when her mother compliments her while not caring that’s she’s saying that on her deathbed. It’s like she’s going “Yeah, I know I’m pretty great, you don’t have to tell me”.
8:05 inexplicably makes me laugh so hard. the mom's dead eyes and dead voice, how Sara looks like she's trying not to laugh, Scott vacantly staring at his mother, completely unimpressed lmao
It looks like they poisoned their ritch mom (she doesn't know that) to get the inheritance and are trying to appear sad on her death bed, but are failing miserably.
Why does every single line of dialogue feel like it was written ironically? They don't talk like people having a conversation, they talk like they're aware they're in bad fiction.

I've played previous Bioware games (Dragon Age series, KOTOR and SWTOR) and it's so prevalent in newer games that it's a meme. Once a character finishes talking or emoting their face defaults into 0-0 once their dialogue is done, it's so weird.
Depends. You do actually have to be skilled to make Gmod this uncanny. I'd rather say it's praising Gmod for its incredible powers that can produce uncannyness at this level. You just can't do this by chance.
Bruh, to a novice yeah they're hard. But to Bioware? There are games older than almost 2 decades that have better facial animations than this shit. Story was shit, rushed, and gay as fuck. Concept was the only thing that was good, and the thing about concept is that is a concept...

Your comment would be better written as “Legion was 100x more expressive than anyone in Andromeda” Since Legion doesn’t have a face, saying he has facial expressions is redundant.
And now you've got what happens when Legion's son spends too much time on the internet during bible study. A.K.A, V1 from Ultrakill. When robots with glowing circles for heads have more personality than living breathing characters, that should be considered an issue.

remember when I bought this game, I excitedly walked out of the store, immediately tripped over my own shoelaces and scraped up my arms, hands and the case for the game. I think that was an omen.
Why is it always that whenever a company has focused on one specific thing, like faces, and are bragging about how well they did it, that one thing is exactly what they manage to fuck up?
hell god of war even does better animation than this but after all it is santa monica studios big bucks and renown rep working alongside at dawn studios for psp versions
@@verloser well the new gow had a problem with wanting to be cinematic getting in the way of the gameplay, removing jumping, making the camera so close to kratos it's hard to dodge things so they gave you a traffic light for things behind you (and still added enemies spamming projectiles that make harder difficulties hellish because you can't see them), and adding unskippable slow sections that make it annoying to replay. Not a bad game but not as good as the other ones, yet praised so hard because IT'S MATURE, IT'S LESS LIKE A GAME AND MORE LIKE A MOVIE SO IT'S OBVIOUSLY BETTER, AND IT'S MORE SERIOUS AND NOT GOOFY SO IT'S SUPERIOR! The excuse of it having to be realistic is dumb, you're playing with a powerhouse that can do awesome shit yet you're limited to attacks that are so close to the camera you can't even see that spectacle well like in other action games. The rpg elements add no real depth so they might as well not be included, and without manual jumping you can't have setpieces that are actually controlled by you and fun to go through, instead it's done for you in a cutscene. The older gow had better gameplay and they aren't even the best in their genre. The story is good but in a game you should focus on the gameplay first, or else you make a visual novel.
Yeah, that's one of the worst, and funniest, culprits. Someone smiling at you, while they confirm through a nod of the head, that you're correct, their father is dead. Who was in charge of the quality control in this game? Did anyone from EA actually play-test it?
I actually low-key love that this gruff frog-like alien has a pronounced gay lisp. That's the type of incongruity that a better game could've pulled off with the strength of the character or the acting or the animations. Sadly, this game didn't have the chops to make it work.
NachoFast everything looks better in 1. I'm seeing this a lot in games these days where the characters have really high polygon counts but no texture. It started in Watch Dogs and it just hasn't stopped
The technology is masking the ineptitude of the younger folk coming up through the ranks. Those who stand on the shoulders of giants and have had tools to make everything easier but then still use those tools in such a shitty capacity as to create a cringefest like this shitpile of a game.
"Science isn't about WHY. It's about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired."
They modeled Scott Ryder's face off an actor, and while they did the same with Sara Ryder they also altered her in-game face to "be less attractive and more realistic". Bad enough the writing was full of what I call "purple Hawke" moments. Scenes that try so hard to be funny and almost every line of dialogue had to be "snappy" and "quippy". Not to mention the devs raised questions only to reveal after the fact they had no intention of answering them because they didn't plan that far ahead. A patch can't fix this game, it needs to be called non-canon and or rebuilt from scratch to even have a chance of standing in the same league as the trilogy.
That might be partially true, but I'm pretty sure default Sara Ryder didn't become such a meme because of a design note like that. What is more likely is that between the original design from one studio and animation development from another, in an overseas studio, Bioware simply was too big a gaming studio to see that fixing faces be a priority. It didn't look right, and they knew it.
I mean half of them look woke af so I can imagine the writers being just sjw trash, replaying Mass Effect 1-3 rn with the legendary edition. A buggy mess even with the community patch but playable and damn fun being renegade - You can punch woman for asking you a question and its fine, thats the stuff im looking for and not someone that tells me "oh thats wrong" - If I wanna play as a ruthless asshole that punches everyone in the face then thats what im gonna do
The snappy and funny lines every 10 seconds thing is such an annoying cliche of poopy tier media nowadays. writers think people want everything to be a marvel movie.
How are they bad? They match the quality of the animations and face. Really though the dialogue sounds oddly mechanical in some instances and in others it seems like they just ripped it from somewhere else and I just don't care enough to look, and also they seem to have really horrible transitions - making me question "how is that the next line of spoken dialogue?" alongside acting of "First take or go home" and is...oddly empty feeling. My opinion of course but still.
They're bad because people don't talk/act like this. It just isn't believable and cliche. You're dangling for life and you yell/joke, " Hold me"? Like, what the actual cringe? The terrible delivery for the lines don't help, either.
I just realized it’s just the fact that they didn’t animate the eyebrows at all, they stay stationary the whole time no matter what expression Edit: stop saying the same exact fucking thing over and over without reading the other replies I meant that it was the main issue with the animation, in most scenes the eyebrows don’t move at all, which if you didn’t know is where humans see emotion on faces the most Of fucking course there are other things wrong with it stop fucking @ing me saying the same exact things that others before you have said
I don’t think it’s just the eyebrows. Emotions come through ALL over the face, pursing your lips, narrowing your eyes, clenching your jaw etc. it’s just blank here
The girl at 2:31 says "eyelash" but like you're saying, I think she means "eyebrow" (I mean, what would an "eyelash animation" even look like - the eyelashes simply move with the eyelids. Maybe she doesn't know the difference? Misspoke? Oh well.). It seems like there's actually some animation of the eyebrows, but they are put too high on the characters' faces and from there they can only go up and never down, meaning they only have two facial expressions: shocked and very shocked.
11:31 I thought that scene actually started out pretty strong and interesting and I thought "This is pretty good, what's wrong with it?" Then my question is answered 2 seconds later
The fact that the backwards gun at 15:29 never got patched before Bioware just gave up on the game entirely is either hilarious or depressing, and I can't tell which.
The gun pointing backwards is game's code getting sentient, and making an attempt at suicide.

Just wanted to say, the side missions where you had to search random outposts, kill everyone, someone would drop a datapad (MAYBE), you then scan the pad which would give you another location to kill a bunch of people was the worst thing ever and I hope everyone involved in that design choice are still struggling to find work.

It's the same problem as with Cyberpunk. The devs knew the game isn't ready yet but EA insisted to release it.
16x the detail lol
@@verloser well the new gow had a problem with wanting to be cinematic getting in the way of the gameplay, removing jumping, making the camera so close to kratos it's hard to dodge things so they gave you a traffic light for things behind you (and still added enemies spamming projectiles that make harder difficulties hellish because you can't see them), and adding unskippable slow sections that make it annoying to replay. Not a bad game but not as good as the other ones, yet praised so hard because IT'S MATURE, IT'S LESS LIKE A GAME AND MORE LIKE A MOVIE SO IT'S OBVIOUSLY BETTER, AND IT'S MORE SERIOUS AND NOT GOOFY SO IT'S SUPERIOR!
The excuse of it having to be realistic is dumb, you're playing with a powerhouse that can do awesome shit yet you're limited to attacks that are so close to the camera you can't even see that spectacle well like in other action games. The rpg elements add no real depth so they might as well not be included, and without manual jumping you can't have setpieces that are actually controlled by you and fun to go through, instead it's done for you in a cutscene.
The older gow had better gameplay and they aren't even the best in their genre. The story is good but in a game you should focus on the gameplay first, or else you make a visual novel.
They did it. They somehow managed to go even lower than this turd with Dragon Age Veilguard. Incredible lack of talent and skill, it's impressive.

The fact that 3d porn artists can make better facial animation than a multimilionarie company
They're passionate about their work and aren't half-assing it for a quick buck (or on an unreasonable deadline)
@@TheTber123 Hey I would be passionate about my work too if it involved modeling Tifa Lockhart's face making lewd expressions!!
@@TheTber123 Well there is a lot of passion in those projects if you know what I mean.
Lmao 😭😭
As a 3D porn artist, thanks.
They modeled Scott Ryder's face off an actor, and while they did the same with Sara Ryder they also altered her in-game face to "be less attractive and more realistic".
Bad enough the writing was full of what I call "purple Hawke" moments. Scenes that try so hard to be funny and almost every line of dialogue had to be "snappy" and "quippy".
Not to mention the devs raised questions only to reveal after the fact they had no intention of answering them because they didn't plan that far ahead.
A patch can't fix this game, it needs to be called non-canon and or rebuilt from scratch to even have a chance of standing in the same league as the trilogy.
That last paragraph is spot on. People need to realise that some games are just too fundamentally fucked from the start to save with updates.
That might be partially true, but I'm pretty sure default Sara Ryder didn't become such a meme because of a design note like that. What is more likely is that between the original design from one studio and animation development from another, in an overseas studio, Bioware simply was too big a gaming studio to see that fixing faces be a priority.
It didn't look right, and they knew it.
I hate the “too cool for school” protagonists. It gets old.
I mean half of them look woke af so I can imagine the writers being just sjw trash, replaying Mass Effect 1-3 rn with the legendary edition. A buggy mess even with the community patch but playable and damn fun being renegade - You can punch woman for asking you a question and its fine, thats the stuff im looking for and not someone that tells me "oh thats wrong" - If I wanna play as a ruthless asshole that punches everyone in the face then thats what im gonna do
The snappy and funny lines every 10 seconds thing is such an annoying cliche of poopy tier media nowadays. writers think people want everything to be a marvel movie.
The dialogues are the kind that would appear in fanfictions.
Habrid O'Young I've read better slash fanfic dialogue, and slash fanfic dialogue ain't good.
i haved watched worse porno movies with better acting
How are they bad? They match the quality of the animations and face.
Really though the dialogue sounds oddly mechanical in some instances and in others it seems like they just ripped it from somewhere else and I just don't care enough to look, and also they seem to have really horrible transitions - making me question "how is that the next line of spoken dialogue?" alongside acting of "First take or go home" and is...oddly empty feeling.
My opinion of course but still.
They're bad because people don't talk/act like this. It just isn't believable and cliche. You're dangling for life and you yell/joke, " Hold me"? Like, what the actual cringe? The terrible delivery for the lines don't help, either.

Butt physics is easy by comparison. What's strange is some PS2 era games have better facial animations than many games of the last decade.

Looking back, I know everyone focused the visual bugs, facial animations, glitches and whatnot, but I'm shocked at how truly garbage the dialogue was
Yeah, progressive lefty characters and dialogue are antithetical to intelligent life, like oil and water. Absolutely insufferable.
I just realized it’s just the fact that they didn’t animate the eyebrows at all, they stay stationary the whole time no matter what expression
Edit: stop saying the same exact fucking thing over and over without reading the other replies
I meant that it was the main issue with the animation, in most scenes the eyebrows don’t move at all, which if you didn’t know is where humans see emotion on faces the most
Of fucking course there are other things wrong with it stop fucking @ing me saying the same exact things that others before you have said
I don’t think it’s just the eyebrows. Emotions come through ALL over the face, pursing your lips, narrowing your eyes, clenching your jaw etc. it’s just blank here
@@ElleDeas They over exaggerate every movement on the face while being are twitchy and stiff.
The girl at 2:31 says "eyelash" but like you're saying, I think she means "eyebrow" (I mean, what would an "eyelash animation" even look like - the eyelashes simply move with the eyelids. Maybe she doesn't know the difference? Misspoke? Oh well.). It seems like there's actually some animation of the eyebrows, but they are put too high on the characters' faces and from there they can only go up and never down, meaning they only have two facial expressions: shocked and very shocked.
