) is suddenly all "OMG! Andromeda is the worst ever!!11?!!".
As I say, I could be wrong as I haven't read (or watched) *that* much of the game beyond a few clips. I still like the sound of the game and I'll be interested to see what the general reviewing consensus is (i.e. excluding the extremes at both ends).
The thing to remember is that most of the footage and gifs and stills which looked concerning before the release were shared by Bioware themselves. Remember that they shared the footage in the first place and so they simply must have chosen the bits they thought were the golden highlights, the best bits. Why would you do trailers and gooseberry fool if you werent trying to paint your product in a positive light?
Now think, if that is what Bioware themselves thought were the
best bits - what does that say of the rest?
I think the adage is that you never see a bad trailer. But if even the trailers here featured such glaring WTF'ness (the asari jumping thing, the ryder gun thing, the faces, etc etc) - then maybe, maybe, the overall product is going to display such overall lack of care and interest.
And what do you know. People are looking at the product now in their early access and are reporting just such a collection of strawberry float ups.
