Well it was a pretty shitty game compared to everything that came before it. I'd say the saltiness is a lot more justified than usual.

I never played it and I'm not a fan of ME either.

I don't know how a single person accepted the visuals of the game in fucking 2017. I really can't believe a single reviewer gave it more than a 6. How did nobody see those horrendous facial movements and eye settings and say "WTF we can't publish this!"? I assume it's because EA has no pride for products and told them to just ship it out. I dunno how people are comfortable buying their products when business practice is essentially an anti-'quality guarantee'

To be fair mass effect had always had bad visuals

It's a story based RPG shooter

ME1 is the best game and everyone In it looks like they are made out of clay and have iron rods instead of spines

Maybe for the humans but I remember the video of Wrex's reveal and he looked mindblowing at the time. Almost like a Jim Henson invention, it was the main reason I bought a 360.

imagine if they had just taken one more month to double check the game

they could've just had an average release

but instead they rushed it all

and now it's the joke of the internet

If you say so.

I'm a ME fanboy and even I would never dream of pretending the series ever had cutting edge visuals and character design

It was behind the times since day 1. It made up for not having pointless visuals by having an amazing game with a deep universe

I dunno man I think it was acceptable for a handful of reasons. They didn't have big studio backing is a big one. Andromeda did. ME1 is of course dated now but I think their conversations were still pretty immersive for the time.

But with Andromeda, they have the big money, they have the technology. It's EA. It's just that the shit studio they outsourced the work for facial/cutscene stuff (IIRC) did a horrible job, and instead of taking time to polish it they just mailed out the shitheap.

But you don't know it's bad tho....

You just know some people don't like it

Silent hill downpour is the worst received silent hill game and it's the 3rd best of them all.

Tomb Raider anniversary was received worse than The Last Revelation and that's a joke.

Form your own opinions brother

If you say so.

I mean it wasn't just me. I was in full Nintendo fanboy mode back then and wasn't even considering other consoles until my friend who was equally impressed with the visuals threw me the link.

Hell, I love all the alien designs; it's one of my favorite sci-fi universes for that reason alone before you even get into all the cool lore.

Mass Effect 1s facial animations looked better than Andromedas, a decade earlier.

It wasn't just the facial animations that were wacked out though. Also, its a story based game where you spend a lot of times looking at closeups of faces, so it makes sense that if they're weak to the point of distraction or pulling you out of the experience, that people wouldn't want to play it.

yeah and the turians, salarians and Milky Way lifeforms sans humans still looked amazing except for humans, ya know, like always.

I played the game, 100% all planets, did pretty much every sid emission, Kadara was the peak of the game, it wasn't the best game but it was really fucking good if you didnt bandwagon on the hate, it has the worse ME story but the gameplay and character missions/plots were actually some of the best.

the visuals was the least of its problems, and just bringing that part up as criticism causes people (and developers) to believe that as long as they get good graphics, everything else doesn't matter.
which would be absolutely stupid
