I respect this community so very much. Many of you see this game as something more than 1's and 0's I wanted to answer any questions or get yelled at by those who deserve a great game.
You.

Do the game quality take a nosedive towards the end ?
I know this has been happening in a lot of games these past few years.
Also do the planets gets boring after the 3rd ?

Andromeda hits a high point 25 hours in where it feels close to Mass Effect again but then dips.....hard to an upsetting conclusion. I miss the Mako. The planets you enjoy the most are ones that don't require you to use the Nomad, Havarl is an example. |

I don't exactly buy your complaints on characters though.
ME trilogy was also notorious with cliched dialogues and bugged animations for your characters. So I feel like you just view ME trilogy through pink coloured glasses when comparing to ME:A. It feels unfair comparison.
Only thing you really said is same old issues from ME trilogy are here but there are much more great moments that were rarely if not at all done in ME trilogy.

This game doesn't have a thesis or a reason to really be a game. Mass Effect 1 had atrocious writing, poor gameplay design and pop ins that would make your eyes bleed but it has a thesis and is a decade old. This is not the same. |

What about the quest design and story telling? Even worse than DAI?
They did promise sidequests like TW3 but is it real?

I said ME trilogy, so it also includes ME2 and ME3 as well. But what do you mean by it doesn't have a thesis to be a game, while ME1 does? I don't understand what you mean with that. |

Did you do a completionist run through and did all that was offered? And the game has more fetch quests than DAI? Jesus fucking Christ. |

It's a game design concept that motivates everything you, see, do, hear and say. It links together all methods of game design into one push. Dev's call it, the magic, of game making. This is a mess. |

It didn't have a decade old thesis when it released... it was fresh and new...
Pretty much like this one is.
I happen to think it rated 8ish maybe 87% - it lost a few points for changes I didn't like.
I like the story and funnily enough my mother who could NEVER get into the ME trilogy really loves the game.
Not everyone feels the same sense of doom and gloom.
Also while I am still annoyed by the trilogy endings I am not letting anything to do with those games affect how I feel about this one.
Wonder how many of the bad reviews are being influenced by the drama / bad feelings over the trilogy endings.

It's absolutely possible. Which is why I wonder if it is -one- of the causes. It's also just as possible that a number are just plain shitty at bioware for any number of reasons and want to make them pay. It happens heh (**I was raised a jaded cynic who never trusts anything she reads  ) |

Which of these three things is the tone of ME:A as a whole most comparable to:
Batman V Superman, Captain America: Civil War, or Batman 1966?

How is the overall writing of the game? The dialogue, the characters, the story, the choices your character makes. Most reviews just mention the horrible facial animations and the great gameplay but nothing ever about the story, which is very important to me.
