Mass Effect: Andromeda is currently causing unintended laughter due to sillier animations and terrible facial expressions. However, those hoping that a day one patch will fix the mess have gotten their hopes up too soon.
The demo version of Mass Effect: Andromeda has been playable for 10 hours via EA and Origin Access since March 15. Enough time to try out the new cool hero Ryder and have exciting and interesting conversations with NPCs. Unfortunately, many players did not find this to be the case, as the weak character editor and the unintentionally funny animations and facial expressions elicited more laughter than an appropriate atmosphere.
Mass Effect Andromeda – Day-One-Patch without graphics update
Especially the facial animations turned the cool Sara Ryder into a kind of space pancake face. The internet has therefore made fun of her with numerous memes since yesterday. However, Bioware has already announced a day one patch, and many players were convinced: “Okay, I can deal with the bad demo version as long as the release version is fixed.”
Unfortunately, “that train has already left,” as Bioware’s lead designer Ian Frazier stated via Twitter. The animations and the facial expressions will not be fixed until the release. However, there will be further patches after the release. Whether extensive graphic improvements will be included in those, Frazier could not disclose.
What do you think about the situation? Were you also hoping for a day one patch or did you already know that Bioware wouldn’t close this issue so quickly? And will you even buy Mass Effect: Andromeda if it looks the way it does right now? Let us know in the comments!
