Anyone been playing early release?

Anyone interested?

Anyone loving/hating it?

I've watched a fair number of videos and read a bunch of stuff.  It sounds interesting, and looks cool.  What I'm hearing is that the story telling and character development are much worse compared to the combat, which is pretty polished.

Thoughts?

I've read that it got EA'd. Animation issues at launch, lack of story.. coming from BioWare.. Combat only thing that improved while their usual areas of expertise got maybe a little worse. Should still be a fun game but prob not $60.

That's kind of where I am.  When it hits $40, I'll jump!

I bought it and played like 3 hours of the campaign and 3 hours of the multiplayer and I'll give my thoughts.

The combat is a lot better, but that's mostly just a function of it being five years newer than Mass Effect 3, games improve bit by bit, even if we don't notice it as much as we used to. The story is interesting, but from what I've played thus far the amount of player choice is a lot more limited than in the first 3, which is a little disappointing. I haven't ran into any of the animation errors that people point out, or any glitch really thus far, so I won't comment on that.

Since I really like the multiplayer (it's very similar to mass effect 3's) it was definitely worth it to me, but I can see waiting until it drops to $40 that's probably the most economically viable decision, but it definitely deserves a play through in your life if you liked the first 3.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
