    I noticed it in the demo, and I noticed it in the full game. It seemed like something about the lip syncing on Earth was off. Did anyone else notice this?

    After Earth it seems to be fine, or I just got used to the weirdness. I haven't gone back to replay the Earth sequence since I beat the game to see if it really was messed up.

    Yeah, I noticed it too. It is off. Every time you see it, it'll be worse than the rest, it's not that you got used to it.

    I had a really wierd bug, shame I didnt record it because it was pretty hilarious. The first conversation I had with Liara on normandy shepard and liaras head would follow the little robot guy around making their head twist in really creepy ways (excorsist style), while talking to eachother.

    And now that you mention it yeah I think there was a couple of scenes where the "lipsync" was off and some conversation was abit wierd.

    Did anyone else have the bug where they cut to what would be a close up of a characters face, but the model hasn't loaded, so its just a shot of the corner of a room or something? It always seemed like whoever Shep was talking to already got bored and walked off haha! :D

    Fucking constantly. I had one of those heart-to-hearts with Garrus and he didn't load. At all.

    I noticed this as well. The syncing is so bad during the Earth sequence, kind of takes away from it a little. Yeah, my first talk with Liara was weird too because their heads were completely turned sideways.

    @ShalashaskaUK666: I've had that happen in all three games, at one point or another. You'd think it'd eventually stop being funny, but I'm never not entertained when it happens.

    I like ME3, but the conversations are buggy as shit.

    Weird eye rolls, heads following the wrong target, crotch shots, invisible people, Shepard going to use a keyboard and instead waving like a buffoon.

    I didn't notice it on Earth, I just had a bug where lips would randomly stop moving at all during some conversations. As well as all the other conversation bugs mentioned here. Liara and Shepard's head tracking during that one scene is hilarious. It's also funny when the camera just cuts away to a blurry blank wall instead of sticking with the characters.

    Earth in the beginning is really bad, other parts are janky. Odd that this game seems to have a worse sync than the first two. Sometimes a persons voice trails off also. I really like this game, but damn everything about it just feels rushed. Amazing that the time span between the 2nd and 3rd game didn't seem to help much.

    @Beiken: I had something like that except Shepard was the only head not tracking right. Happened in both my playthroughs.

    It was totally off and none of my friends noticed. But I did notice immediately after Earth that it got better... or I got used to it... 40 hours later, I'm still not sure.

    There was one part where somebody said something to Garrus and then invisible Garrus was like "yo".

    During one entire mission on Tuchanka, somehow Shepard's eyes where a tad bit misplaced, so the eyeballs weren't covered by the eyelids. Highly disturbing. Luckily it disappeared after completion of the mission. It looked something like this...

    Yea this happened to me with that robot except it was only Shephards head which twisted around backwards. It was great!

    Most of the time for me it was during the intense scenes heading somewhere in the shuttle, Shepard would be briefing a wall. I was waiting for the camera to pan down to show that everyone had fallen asleep.
