And that just kind of sucks for them, at least if they care about cheevos. Poor planning on the dev's part.

In the end, it's not like straight people have a lot of good options because most of the characters are really ugly. What are really good choices? Perhaps only Vetra and Cora. The former don't even have sex scene. And at least fujoshi got fuckable lesbian who also so happens to be Christian which makes the situation really hilarious (or she isn't?). So, looks like only fujoshi are lucky.
Still kinda surprising that they didn't turn Cora into complete lesbian as well, reminds me of Jack situation, it's like they wanted to piss off those whinny faggots even more, pretty sure Cora is also strong biotic and is treated as badass. But even more surprising thing is that she's probably the whitest person in the whole game and is also a blondie. Shame she has manjaw (although sometimes she looks a little bit better and it doesn't look too big), I have a thing for both punk and fit girls which means I'd still fuck her too if I bought the game, man, her ass is great and when you look at her back you don't even see her manjaw. Good thing streams exist.

What, you value something else over sexual orientation (and that of course means gay and gay only because fuck straight)? You're not true gamer. Where are your documents? Please, provide your gamer license.
Though honestly, it's already too late to worry about something really important, they fucked everything up beyond repair, they have to start all over again to make it good and they need good team, the only thing they really can fix is skin tone bug in character creation, unless it's a "feature".

But if seriously, I don't think I know an English term for it which sounds well. In Japan, it basically means females that love gay shit. Thought it would be safe to use the term, noticed that plenty of English-speakers commonly used it like that in YouTube comment sections and YouTube is pretty big place, so I decided to go for it.

For some reason we went from

I generally enjoy a bit of rummaging around in menus and options and depth are welcome, but this is just messy.

No surprise. SJW types hate gay men as much as they hate straight men or white men.

He's arguing against targeting individuals, rather than criticising the work as a whole.

That constituted only the first couple tweets. The rest of it was defending their work because they didn't have enough time and used a flawed algorithm for what they couldn't get to manually. As if that's a good reason not to criticize it.

One thing he says is that they had a 5 year dev cycle for the game. So, in 5 years, nobody spotted that the animations were a train wreck and went in and fixed it?
Targeting game devs personally is really bad as it won't be criticism, but people will - guaranteed - fly off the handle and behave like assholes. We've all had enough of gamers looking like overly-entitled, angry, basement-dwelling, woman hating, 14 year old psycopaths. Saying that, the blame for this should lie with the animators art director and the company director, who should have seen what was going on over the span of half a decade and stepped in to put the ship back on course.
At the end of the day, though you guys all seem to be on this gamergate thing, I think it's much more likely that the whole thing is the result of incompetence and stupidity, not any SJW/gay/lesbian/feminist agenda.

Eh? It's an animator from Naughty Dog who worked on Uncharted 4, and previously worked on past ME games, DA, etc. He does NOT work for EA/Bioware at this time. He's just describing the tools, not excusing the shipped product. People were wondering how the animation could be so bad, and he's just giving a bit of a behind the scenes peek on How Stuff Works.
And yes, hand animating everything in a very large game that took 5 years to get close to a shippable state isn't really feasible, and he's saying the company probably didn't take into account the volume of work. Given what we know about senior staff turnover that's completely believable. Inexperienced people underestimate a task and do a shitty job.

Shit, I had to watch this before bed. A shame I really wanted to pull the trigger on Andromeda early on.

Who said he worked for EA? He's being an apologist. Fuck off dude.

There is more here than just simple incompetence and stupidity though. Come on, you don't seriously believe that developers, who had $40 millions budget and who work for one of the biggest publisher in this industry, did this by an accident just because of incompetence or stupidity? They even shoved down everyone throats leftists propaganda which makes it clear that they're leftists. Their Indian designer is so insane he screams about how much he hates whites and he was supported by Bioware higher ups, someone should post that screenshot where he said that his higher ups approved his words. I shouldn't even mention that woman who "worked on" facial animations and who also proudly hate white males.
No one in their minds would let it happen, it's not like Bioware work in their safe space where no one is checking on their progress. This is beyond ridiculous how they allowed it to be released, only absolutely blind person wouldn't notice how terrible this shit is, I would like to see a face of the guy who approved everything what they did. This is just unbelievable, I don't think I saw even bigger trainwreck on the level of Andromeda, it has a lot of chances to beat E.T. which was so shit it actually killed gaming industry before. I wonder, when E.T. went on sale and how huge discount was? I didn't even believe at first that Andromeda had $40 million budget.
It would be hilarious if they just fucked with investors and took all the money for themselves while hired some cheap as fuck nobodies from Tumblr to make the game which also explains the absurd amount of leftists crap in the game and I bet that's what really happened. Does something like that happens in America? Seeing how corrupt the country is I wouldn't be surprised at all if that's what they did.

In all the cases you mentioned greedy publishers had their goals in the end and I'm sure that Andromeda isn't an exception. Not a single thing you mentioned was an accident.
