bruh the facial animations are soooo BAD

[I'm the walrus]

The facial animations downright suck , who the hell at capcom thought it would be nice to have skyrim like mumble jumble facial animations , this ♥♥♥♥ makes mass effect andromeda facial animations a masterpiece.
its 2024 for Christs sake!!!!

yeah I was thinking that too.
the lip-flapping animation was just straight up the same as the first game, only it looks weirder now cos the faces look more realistic. justinn, the first NPC you meet after you escape from the gaol, looked like he was straining his lips trying to do the duckface while talking to you. it was kinda hilarious for a while, then it just became sad.

I think they're hilarious in the Oblivion kind of way, and it's completely unintentional which is why I think it works

yeah i try not to think about it too hard and just laugh at the jank. just a bit miffed that they decided not to improve this aspect after like a decade of development. you get little immersive things like NPCs shielding their eyes when you come at them with your lantern on, but we can't have properly synced talking animations. it's baffling, to say the least.

i agree with all of that, except probably about the visuals. i kinda like that they kept the desaturated, kinda grimy vibe that they had with Gransys. feels a bit like coming home.
