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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

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

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
