This week in the comments
A quiet week (~74 sampled comments) built around a creator's sponsored video: mostly upbeat but guarded, with Mass Effect and Andromeda comparisons everywhere. Owlcat's Expanse game keeps popping up as a rival or companion.
Andromeda as the yardstick
~15% of this week's comments bring up Andromeda: defended for its combat, feared for its dialogue, or credited with hooking newcomers. It's measured against that game as much as the original trilogy.
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, the other big wait
~10% of comments mention Owlcat's game, either as a pairing ("two games to fill the void") or as the favourite. One commenter says journalists pushed it as the next Mass Effect.
No character creator: still a sore spot
~7% of the week's comments lament the missing character creator or rough character models. It's still there, but less central than over the summer.
Drew Karpyshyn as a selling point
Several commenters (~5%) say learning Karpyshyn writes the game sold them. The tie-in novel is also cited as a reason for optimism.
Doubts about studios and Wizards
~8% voice distrust: BioWare's track record, Wizards of the Coast, fear of overhype. One commenter warns about creator hype, citing Cyberpunk.
Top reactions and controversies
"The next Mass Effect": a hunger for a successor
Dominant takeThe thread running through everything: a Mass Effect-shaped hole that ex-BioWare veterans, Karpyshyn first among them, are expected to fill. Hope is mixed with fear of disappointment.
Faces and art direction: the unease
Controversy"Pixar-like" and uncanny faces come up under every major video. Some praise the improvement seen in August, others defend a deliberate stylised look.
Salt, the octopus that stole the show
Dominant takeAround the release-date trailer, the octopus in a mech sparked affection, romance jokes and memes. A minority found the marketing choice baffling.
No character creator / fixed Jun
ControversySince the fixed protagonist was confirmed, many talk of a dealbreaker or "wait for a sale". Others accept the authorial vision. The never-shown female Jun fuels impatience.
Wizards of the Coast and Ohlen's exit
ControversyThe publisher worries people ("red flag"), and the studio head stepping back in December revived fears. Others say the core team is intact and stay confident.
No physical copy: "No disc, no buy"
ControversyAfter the August trailer, a wave of comments demands discs and targets Sony. A few voices are fine with digital.
