Like building a condominium in a ghost town.

I just bought this since it was so cheap and I loved the OG trilogy. Hope they fixed some things. I'll try going into with an open mind but I can't help but at least hold it to the same standard as the originals.

I really wanted to like this game. I tried to give it a fair shot, even after the patches to fix the goofy animations. In the end, I just wasn't interested in the characters or the world. The original (and by extension, the sequels) were incredibly immersive and sucked me in instantly. With Andromeda, after about four hours, I just didn't want to play it anymore. Despite this flop, I really hope this isn't the end of the series.

Make the Quarian Ark DOC, you ***!

Yep, there’s no denying that Andromeda was a dumpster fire of a game.

“There is no denying that Mass Effect: Andromeda was a negative experience for most players, “ Truly? You guys have it an 8. Look, subjective review by one person yadda yadda, I get it. However, when you’re reviews of AAA titles are consistently so far out of consensus with the majority of gamers. Maybe it’s time for some quiet self-reflection on the state of video game journalism. Yes, I just watched Dunkey’s video about game critics, why do you ask?

If by "shook up" you mean totally botch the experience and lay waste to what made Mass Effect great.. Then yes, they did "shake it up". And of course they're going to try and support the one aspect of the game that's making them more money. Ala scumbag fashion.

Vocal minority of angry internet nerds does not mean "most players," but whatever. Andromeda gets far more hate than it deserves. Take the time to actually play it and the game is really fun, even with its faults. I've been meaning to do a second playthrough since the patches finished last year.

It's actually pretty disheartening that they have cut ties with the single-player portion of the game and are only willing to put in work into the part that can make them money even though that part does nothing to add value to the ip

I think liking DAI is a good prerequisite to not hating Andromeda. Well DAI felt very insulting and everything shown about Andromeda looked the same. It's like how fallout is to the elder scrolls series, but really uninspired. Same turd, different stench...

Spent more time in multiplayer than single and it was a frustrating experience. Rubber banding, dropouts, glitches like dead enemies shooting you it was a mess. My friends from ME3 MP didn’t stick around it was too disappointing.

I really enjoyed ME:A, though it certainly would have benefited from more time in the oven.

Love this game. Why am I always in the minority?

I'll never forgive EA for what they did with this series.

Real talk the game had issues, major issues and I say this as a passionate Mass Effect fan. But some people rag on it waaaay too hard. Like it wasn't the worst game, it was more a dissapointing game. Just very dissapoining coming from a triple a publisher and developer Regardless the multiplayer was fine, it just wasn't that much different from ME3 multiplayer. Which is a fun multiplayer just not something I'm like "oh man can't wait to play this" but yes me and some friends are massionate enough ME fans were if someone suggests it we will do a few rounds from time to time But for the people condemning it as one of the worst games of last year, like no, you didn't play the actual s*it games of last year, disappointing ABSOLUTELY but far from the worst (especially gameplay wise and movement wise when compared to ME1)

I'm assuming single player is still a buggy hell hole? Easily the biggest gaming let down in recent memory. Worse than Battlefront 2 imo as at least that's still an enjoyable game outside of the ridiculous progression system. Andromeda's cardinal sin was that it was a boring, broken mess.

The problem isn't the balance. The issue is that it's basically a copy and paste from ME3's multiplayer. Nothing new added at all. Loot boxes, I think it's actually worse. ME3 at least had community events. I'm a big Mass Effect fan and this is the worse one in the series by far. Single player and multiplayer were both horrible in that they stayed stagnant. You're in an entirely new galaxy, you only see 1 new race and they don't have any real unique powers.

Honestly? More multiplayer dlc would've saved this game for me. Loved ME3MP, despite it being a simple horde mode. Once they announced that support was cut for both modes of ME:A, I lost interest immediately.

If they got rid of the lootboxes, instant kills, and horrible lag I might have given a crap about mea multiplayer
