Actually no. That's on us.
We asked for a classic ME experience: Exploration's back
We asked for relationship ME2 style: Loyalty missions are back.
We likedd ME3MMP: There it comes
We critized heavily the lack of precision when Shepard's fighting: Reworked fighting system.
Etc...
They frankenstein it -maybe too much for some- because they tried to please us too hard.

MEA comes as a game that does require you to work along. The game has great content, characters, iconic scenes. But for us to discover all it has to offer, we need to stay on board, to look passed clunky animations and to be inspired at any time. I mean: Adventure's calling and you actually need to answer it. Everything has been done for us to imagine ourselves on these planets. Rydder is a fairly blank sheet of paper for you to ink. Even the CC requires you to be invested, rewarding your hard work. Nothing comes easy, nothing comes by itself. But despite us putting some great effort into this game we ain't always rewarded. Animations are very weird: Being 10 years behind but included to a very current engine. Limp sync is off, lots of bugs and no huge payoff with a hamfisted ending. Never a BioWare game has been more about the journey than about the ending. Shepard's tale was about his/hers accomplishments and how the war will end. Ryder's journey is more of a captain manifest full of eye candy planets, weird creatures and courage. In conclusion, i listened to MEA's calling. I know many of us did. Some of you regret it, feeling let down by technical issues and that "meh" ending but in the end, well i'll retire, lay my Tempest at bay and talk to this story to my friends and familly: My eyes would be full of sparkles: Tales of a captain lost in Andromeda. Good game, missed the great by a very few. Less bug heavy and i would change my vote.

Is this good or not? Well.... yes and no. Observations: First, I have to say that this theme of exploration and colonization works for me. Which is nice, since I had serious problems with the dominant themes of the MET and how they were presented to us. This time, I'm ok with going along without, so far, any major criticisms. In this aspect alone, mind you. MEA and ME1MEA occasionally reminds me of ME1. I'm exploring, often in a vehicle so very reminiscent of the Mako, on new worlds which have their own aesthetic appeal and identity, occasionally picking up stuff, random and not so random, investigating odd structures etc.. The mining is extremely inefficient compared to other ways to gather minerals, and I suspect we'll have fewer such worlds than I'd prefer in the end, but all in all this is really nice. The world is also almost as seamless as ME1's was, so your sense of place is mostly intact. The world, however, continues to appear small, something I've also held against the MET. Movement between locations simply doesn't matter much. Poof, you're there. I think this is inappropriate but more about that in the worldbuilding section. MEA and DAIMEA also occasionally reminds me of DAI. Unfortunately, the first such aspect that comes to mind is not one DAI's better parts but one of its worst: collection tasks. Exploration on planets often does unveil interesting stuff, but it also unlocks a set of collection tasks like "find these 6 broken drones" or "place scanners at these 6 locations". These are optional, but there are far too many of them, and they clutter up the journal and the maps with icons which suggest something signficant but only point at chores you'd rather be done with as fast as possible. There are also collection tasks featuring unmarked sites placed partly in excessively hard-to-access areas, of which I managed to complete not a single one so far, since I suspect the reward in no way justifies the effort - even if it was just with a really nice view, for while the scenery has its appeal, it in no way approaches the impact of DAI's landscapes. In the emotional impact of its landscapes, MEA even stays behind ME1, even though obviously, the visuals are way more technically advanced. Also, why does simply going to specific places increase planet viability? That makes no sense. The secondary mission system where you send teams out is a straight copy of DAI's wartable mission system, as is the system of leveling up the Nexus, but with far less groundwork in lore. Such a system does not work well in an environment you do not already know, and "leveling up the Nexus" is insufficiently explained. The system works and I use it, but as opposed to DAI, it doesn't add significantly to the experience. Worldbuilding? Uh...what's that?Which brings me to the worldbuilding. Which is, in my opinion, MEA's worst feature by a very big margin. Did *anyone* actually think about making the world interesting and consistent? Humanoid aliens again? With primary enemies looking like barely-masked copies of the MET's protheans/collectors and your first potential ally species taken right out of the SW universe? And of course they're also humanoid. And that's just the boring parts, don't get me started about the annoying ones. There we have this giant robotic thing we have to deactivate in a mission on a planet. It is a robot and it has, by its name, a clearly designated technical task. OK, good. It also looks like a Thresher Maw made of metallic parts with three legs added. Not really inspiring, but....OK. Then....it proceeds to roar like an angry Thresher Maw. WTF?????? Believe me, things that strike you as "just wrong" in similar ways are a regular occurence. Here's another one: Pebee says the Milky Way was "so been there, done that. Well, not I, but someone did". Well....no. By the old Codex, the Milky Way was 97% unexplored and would've had enough unexplored space for a hundred plots like that of MEA. We all know why we are in Andromeda, and I don't have a problem with it, but characters need a plausible in-world motivation. Whoever wrote Pebee here clearly didn't have the faintest idea of what was plausible. It would've been better to omit saying anything at all. I mean, it isn't as if such motivation would be hard to conceive of, right? And another one: I had some talk with a character I've forgotten about how they scanned the Heleus cluster from the MW. I got some very convoluted explanation about what amounted to FTL scanning with geth tech. FTL scanning was impossible under the MEU's technical paradigm but I might've gone along with it had it solved an important problem. Well....that wasn't the case at all. It solved a non-existing problem. Planets, my dear writers, as a rule don't change that much in a million years or two that their viability is affected. So if you scanned this place from two million light-years away and got, as usual, two-million-year-old information. you actually could expect the planets to be still viable when you arrived 650 years later. They did change, but that was for non-natural reasons, which is explained well enough and part of the plot. Congratulations, you compromised your world's integrity for no reason at all. Epic fail. Should I go on? With how the skies change immediately after you do some important stuff on a planet and it immediately becomes 50% more viable? This was awful in "Total Recall" and it isn't any better here. An enforced delay of, say, a hundred more years in cryo-sleep would've added a nice SF aspect to the plot, but no, we can't have that. It must all be as everyone's living in the same city, how else could the moron players ever understand what happening? Or wasn't it the supposed player's incapability of understanding, but rather the writers? "SF writers don't have a sense of scale" is a trope supposedly widespread, but most of them, judging from the books I read, make at least a token attempt to make things plausible. MEA? Nope. Nothing at all. Not that I find this all that surprising, since apparently the only writer ever employed by Bioware for the MEU who cared about such things left in the middle of making ME2. And another one: has anyone thought of a plausible placement of these memory thingies we need to unlock Ryder's past? I mean, well, it's obviously completely plausible to find one on a world neither you nor your father nor the AI has ever been. If it was *my* memory, I could justify it, after all memory triggers can be odd, but it's an AI's memory that, to top it all off, was purposefully hidden from me. That makes no sense at all. I just hope that the explanation of the Remnant retains some plausbility. Writing and VA:...have a disparate quality. While the main interaction scenes with major characters, while not exactly on the level of most of the MET, are done reasonably well in most cases, much of the rest is....sorry, there's no way to say this politely....uninspired, bland, generic, cheesy, campy, childish, boring, groan-worthily predictable and bare of anything that would engage you intellectually or emotionally. Among other things, I'm thoroughly sick of family stuff. As if there wasn't anything more interesting to have a conflict about in a new galaxy. As if that wasn't enough, many characters seem to read their lines from teleprompters as they appear with no sense of context. Having said that, while this level of writing is ubiquitous outside the main character interaction scenes, it doesn't have all that much of an impact once you're back from your first planet mission. And resigned to it. After all, ME's writing was always full of cheap drama and contrived emotion only loosely grounded in lore, with some notable exceptions that carried much of the stories alone. Minor annoyances:
I've already written enough for one post so I'll make this short: several aspects of the game, as a game, aren't up the standards I expect from a game that cost me 70€. Coming from TW3's and DXMD's smooth movement to MEA feels like a step 10 years back. In fact, MEA's movement reminds me of KOTOR's movement when it first came out. I replayed it last year, and it didn't feel significantly different now. It's as if they're still using the same code as then (yeah, I know that can't be). Here's a minor example: when you activate your Witcher sense in TW3, you can't climb or jump. When you activate your scanner in MEA, you also can't climb or jump. In principle, no problem at all, but there's a difference: in MEA you can't walk up steps while scanning (or at least some steps, I don't know what the conditions are), so that for instance, a 10cm step up to a platform stops you from moving, and you have to switch off the scanner and jump. That the mantle-up function is so finicky in its requirements that it's basically useless doesn't help. Add the animations and some characters' pasty faces. I guess that's a well-known complaint by now, but it's not less significant for being "just" an aesthetic feature. There is more but I have to stop now. The overall picture that emerges for me is a game that works overall, but at the same time, annoys me so often and so thoroughly that it has a significant impact on my enjoyment. I'm really tired of bringing TW3 in as a counterexample, but if you've played that, it is clearly recognizeable how much more thought went into TW3's smallest detail. Maybe it's a budget problem, but I'm hearing MEA cost 40 million. Where did all that go? Thinking about how you can make your character presets more ugly? i put a like on your post not that i agree but i appreciate the effort you put into it. Thanks for your feedback! MEA and ME1: I agree here for the most part. I'm moving ahead MEA and DAI To me this game is alike DA:I on 2 things: Crafting and engine... I don't see much more DA:I into it. But i can't blame you for thinking like that. I think i see where you're coming from and i'm ok with that. Worldbuilding? Uh...what's that? Wait ... You know what... Screw it. I agree with 99% of what you say. The only thing is that i seem less annoyed by its imperfections than you. Which is... Fine. I mean it's matter of expectations, standards and tolerence. Not that i've more/better of those than you. Just we're two different persons seeing the same situation but where i say: Not bad. I understand this ME is a test to see if the franchise still carry some weight before the big hourrah, you're more like: It's ME... Drunk and running on one leg. Your points are valid... I agree on the syptoms not on the diagnostic.

So when somebody is doing an "okay" job he needs to be punished?
You do great you're rewarded, you do badly you're punished you do ok... A pat on the back and try to do better.
Basically you make no sense. If the whole package is okay -as you said- what's even the point in bitching and moaning?

Ahh, so my statement is false because you've obviously played every game I've played or every game released? Of course that's not why your statement is false. I told you why it was false. It's false because it's factually untrue that "games used to be released without bugs." And you didn't name a game that was released without bugs, which leads me to further believe that you're just blowing smoke. I'm not your video game police, so you can accept what you want to accept. I told you why things happened. If you were not able, based on your video gaming experience, to pre-suppose that Andromeda would have bugs, then I don't know what to tell you, except that you should probably start expecting that every video game you're interested in will have bugs. Problem solved! That day never existed. You never had to buy a video game. You were never required to. Stop acting like Bioware gave you Rohipnal. I can only presume this means that you will spend your time playing those games instead of wasting your time on a forum complaining about a product you don't like. Do you know that a response is more than just a long string of questions validating your choices? Interesting that you've talked to all of society. Andromeda's greatest failing is that it's not a Bioware Apology Tour for the ending of Mass Effect 3. I can't count the number of posts I've read that shit on ME2 and ME3, and people still buy the product. I don't care about comparing this game to other games, because it's not other games. It's a Bioware game and it's a Mass Effect game. It's just not the Mass Effect game you wanted to play. The problem is not Bioware. This... This person strikes hard but in an very accurate way. And it throws me back to ME3 ending shitstorm. That the ending is good or not wasn't the point nor what was shocking players. What was the real problem to the community -same here- never got what they wanted/expected. And here what? A great hourray with a Shepard clone doing lots of "winks winks" at the camera with Garrus coming back from cryo? All these rants about bugs and facial animation are valid: There're problems here but the proportion it takes is ridiculous. This is just here as a pretext to bash on BW and EA for not giving the people what the people wanted... And you know what? They're punished for trying new things: New engine, New characters, New galaxy, new world and game design, etc... Do everything work perfectly? No. But if you punish a studio for trying to put some innovation in their games... You'll be ranting in 5 years because BW always do the same game again and again. Some fair critisms are lost amoung moaning people that are openly saying they never recovered from ME3 and still are mad about it. Go back to your youtube and your memes where being "cool" and "savy" is to loop bugs and clunky animations.

CDPR was supported by Polish government not freaking EU. As far as I know EU DG never issue any funding for game-developer. Actually the EU provided funding to some developers like Image & Form to create games. link
This is mostly why some GB studdios said Brexit gonna be hard to bear for them

Who didn't give a damn about combat. When I bought ME1 in 2007 the combat was well down on my list of features that interested me. Since then they have prioritized combat more and more (specifically shooting, biotics being nerfed) and the RPG features and play-style is stripped more and more. I don't think there's a single non-combat skill in this game. Combat should be optional. In an ideal RPG you should be able to complete it without engaging in combat at all. Oh well. Drakensang 1 & 2 are for you mate.

The stuff about Witcher 3 though is really concerning because I have pretty much decided I can't play the game again because, great game, but it was such a friggin grind to do the first time because of the question marks and how the RNG system or the loot system or whatever really screwed you out of getting a lot of good stuff, and it just came out as being unbalanced as hell...but if you have to grind anyways even WITH the NG +...(disgusted noise) Ok i'm tired of this TW3 BS. FINE! TW3 feature: Bad camera indoor Lots of "detective vision tracking" Average animations Unrealistic fighting style using a sword. Lever swtiching mecanics we know and play since D&D Writting errors "I'ld rather kill you than listening to your story" then monster defeated "willing to talk now?" A werewolf running in circle waiting to be killed Stop praising this "perfect" game. Where you dissect it the way you guys are dissecting ME:A... It's not that much better.

I think they're aware of that. Then why is the game so bad? Why the terribly cliched plot, the horrid animations, the seemingly innumerable glitches? If Bioware doesn't care, why should the players? Ranting is carring.

The witcher 3 is: 1500 people workiing in it with only 240 of them hired directly by the devs. So yeah they got their polish discount labour market. Full support from Poland that landed cheap loans which allow you to do a better job since your profit margin can be lower with less costy loans. Only 3 years of dev: Which means they put more money in TW3 than Ea in MEA. Fixed fees such as tlabour taxes, electricity, household, is tied to the time spent on a project. Is less costly story and chara design being adapted from a book. Is stolen ideas that were costless to adapt (detective vision, sex scenes, etc..) Is a BioWare game to its core with better press and budget (TW1 was made with NVN engine and all) link

the tempest itself is amazing tho. I trully love it.
Out of six squadmates i'll defenetly remember 3 of them even after some years (Vetra, Mista Kroga and Peebee). Cora and Liaam are good but compared to vetra... Meh
I actually likes our Hub -being the Nexus- a nice spin on the citadel and the tram is a good idea. The way it evolves, after recovering arks and all.
Overall french voice acting is not on par with BWs games but 2 or 3 characters are hon,estly brillant (MRyder, Cora and Vetra)
I trully felt like i'm not in the Milky Way anymore andd that's neat. The atmosphere itself is good.
Kalandra is an exemple of level design.

Complaining about anything is preposterously useless, yet we all do it. You and I are complaining about each other's opinions like it mattered in any possible universe. However, it can be entertaining, it can be enlightening, and if nothing else it passes the time. I was not making fun of your English, and if it is your second language I am impressed with your ability and actually understand your usage error - I believed English to be your native tongue. If this is the case, I do apologize for this comment. If you are a native speaker of English, my comment remains. The SN in BSN stands for Social Network. Society doesn't always agree, and no one should be surprised by the divided community - BioWare has always engendered strong opinions; that's why many of us became fans and are still here. Matter of fact i'm french. But this isn't an excuse, i'ld bring a better english up. I agree about the social network thingie but if you trully want to rant about EA and being heard, This wouldn't be the best place to do so. The fact there are things you hate in this game is fine. You being public about those things is fine either. But i'm entitled to share my own opinion either and i don't carry nor swing any kind of sword. I just use my own experience trying to answer OP. Sorry for the bother anyway.

Wahhhhhhh. I will try to cover this the best i can. 1) People want to belong in a group. Feeling like you've mates to share your opinion with or simply being part of a movement is important to most. Internet allows you to build a commfy nest of people agreeing wiith you ignoring others. So some people are rough with this game just to belong in a group. 2) Because nowaddays being rough and tough with a game is assimilated with "knowing stuff" or "having been around ". Mental acuity is mixed with critisism quite alot and people would ackowledge you as an expert for being a dick to somebody's else work. 3) Because some players are tied to BW or ME to an emotional level and seeing this game not being what they expected or wanted is felt as treason. People reacts with their hurt feelings in mind not with objectivity. 4) Because some people are mean by nature or are frustrated in life and use internet as a space of liberty to express their darker side or mood with no concequences. Saying bad stuff or running a mock about a game others like is their pleasure. 5) Because the game isn't perfect and the technical issues are a big "NONO" to some folks. They expect their big name RPG to be pristine in all aspects. 6) Because hype train. It's hyped to bash BW and use memes such as "My face is tired". People want to be cool. 7) Because we aren't all equal to video games. ME:A falls in the "Alpha Protocol" category. Some will tell you it's an hidden gem others would tell you it's a shitty game. ME:A asks alot to be appreciated. Not every want/can give all what's necesary to appreciate the game. 8) Because it was marketed as better than the final products quality. 9) Because trolling forums is... A pass time activity... The toxicity of our city of our city... Sorry i had to do it. What a load of shit this post is. 1) My opinions are my own. Yours are yours, I think. Two edges to that sword, Illuminated One. 2) Learn your vocabulary. That is a poor usage of assimilate that I can only understand through context and is noy how the word is used. That said, mental acuity does mean something, and yours may be lacking. 3) Just as some blind asshats love this game despite it admittedly being full of bugs and poorly polished. Again, the sword... it has two edges. 4) Lol. Some people are mean, by nature, to a corporation that they believe has fucked them. Some people are mean to people they think are being mean to the corporation they love blindly. This sword concept.... 5) Jesus fucking christ. 6) Your face probably is tired. 7) This is an actual valid point, holy shit. 8) See #5 9) You are trolling too, and you are unable to see the sword you swung coming back to cut your own head off. FFS, try to think outside your cozy little shitbox occasionally. I'm not sure i wanna go any further into this. You're way to make a point is to denigrate my mind, my english and my person in general. And i do believe you've lost your way sayiing this: "Lol. Some people are mean, by nature, to a corporation that they believe has fucked them. Some people are mean to people they think are being mean to the corporation they love blindly. This sword concept...." Complaining about EA on a fan made website about BW games is preposterously useless and -sorry to say- not usefull. We're people who like BW games for what they are... Not for what they could be without EA.

Unless we get a new team developing the next Mass Effect, there is no point in having another game. In your opinion, from the top of your mind, your belief is, you think, your guts tell you that, as far as you're concerned... Dialetic. To articulate an opinion in the shape of a true affirmation is cheating in any discussion or debate. And i won't allow you to cheat my good sir!

Get off your high horse, seriously. I don't understand why people can't accept the fact that people like the game and vice versa.
The bigger question is why people's standards are so low they end up liking a game this unpolished. My standards in life aren't to dissect everything i play nor replaying the same content over and over until i've collected enough bugs to make a video with. My standards aren't to deny others the pleasure and the dignity to like a product i hate. I do hate cheese for the most part... i'll bug everybody in the world till they stop eating cheese! My standards isn't related to "polish" nor in my video games nor in cars. I want to sit in front of my screen smiling and calling my mates over saying: "Come here, look at that. So pretty. Who needs to go in space anymore " My stardards include smiling at my pals and enjoying my life playing games. Very not to lecture others. Obviously my standards are subpar and i'm sorry about that.
