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.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
