Mass Effect: Andromeda

I'm just saying it's interesting that people are gravitating towards it while other games (including big budget titles) get a pass. Personally, I always felt Uncharted 4 character faces to be strange. I know I'm in the minority but I much prefer the previous generation when it came to that. I think it's due to it becoming closer and closer to uncanny valley and it's throwing people off.

"Dude how do I optimize my game?"

Interesting.

What's strange is that my system does not meet those requirements but could play Battlefield 1 Ultra (I think it was Ultra) and it was smooth 60FPS throughout the game.

I wonder if that's the case as well with this game. Or at least, they are being realistic because I don't know how many times a games needs more than "recommended" settings.

If your system can ace BF1 then I have no doubt that it will play MEA just fine, unless the game is just super unoptimized.

What's more likely is that the specs are basically just determined by "how much of a kickback will we get from hardware companies for advertising their newest technology".

Maybe. I've seen either way. Some devs/pubs give specs that are way too low, or incredibly high.

Personally, I don't see it being kickbacks or atleast if there was, what's the point of them. People who want this game at Ultra/Very High would already have a spec'd out system to do so. Making high requirements isn't going to bring in more revenue.

It looks like they just went the lazy way and copy-pasted the systems reqs from BF1(same game engine).

That recommended i7... Ouch.

We already know about their faces or are you still trying to paint them as midgets?

No. Thats just a cool photo of the siblings put up on the twitter page.

With the way the photo is shot, I assumed you were trying to get at something. Nevermind.

The funny thing is that their proportions are probably more accurate to real people than Shepards tiny-headed giant physique.

So white. So very white.

Going to change them to have the darkest skin, with bright red hair and extremely pronounce comical-level features, lips, noses, brow etc.

Ryder in the video is way skinnier than she looks in the photo.
