Reviewer Likes MEA!

When I originally started, I pointed out that people kept posting negative reviews and attaching themselves to them, using them as justification that they're right.  These were all done in their own individual threads rather than in one thread.  I have also stated that I have no problem with people expressing their own dislike.  In fact, I've also mentioned things I don't like.  I just don't start a new thread (this was an exception for my point) whenever something pops into my head.  We get drowned in threads like that otherwise.  If the same person posts a new thread every time he finds a review that supports his viewpoint, all we get are those threads.  He could just create a thread and post all of those reviews in it.

Yeah that's not what's happened at all. If that was truely the case I would easily drown you in a never ending sea of reviews that shit all over Andromeda.

As it is, I'm posting the odd article or review that's added a new perspective, which I preface beforehand for discussion.

You post from 'businessinsider' (lol) because for some reason you get easily triggered by the hate directed at Andromeda. And you're posting just to be argumentative and confrontational. It's sad.

I'm jumping in here. You say your not trolling yet you insult him. That is childish and unnecessary. Also there are more positive reviews than negative so good luck with that.

Actually... no there's not. If you go by metacritic reviews, there's more negative reviews than positive - if you want to add user reviews, it's a tidal wave of negativity.

So, how positive does a review have to be to be counted in this thread? Because most of the serious reviews I have seen were at least towards the positive side, giving the game a 75 or more (which is certainly not negative).

I mean, I like the game and I like to think I gave it a pretty positive review. Doesn't change the fact that the game has a shitton of problems, issues and faults and they are all mentioned (unless I forgot some ) but that doesn't tale away from the fact that I still have a positive view on the game overall.

Now, I think one problem is that the Mass Effect games so far were brilliant and that reflected in their reviews as well, getting them scores around the 90% mark, which is excellent (and it was deserved because those games were excellent). So compared to them and coming in with the expectation that ME:A holds up this ME tradition, ME:A is a disappointment (and it was for me as well). Still, seen among games overall, I still think the ME:A doesn't do badly, it just unfortunately doesn't quite stack up to the predecessors.

Since when does 75 mean "slightly" positive?

Really, really bad? Call of duty infinite Warfare had a 73 metacritic score and it seems to going strong for it. A 75 means it's good not great but there are plenty of worse AAA games than ME: A.

I don't, in fact, I said that I myself like the game but are acknowledging its problems. What I as confused about is that this thread makes it look like it's hard to find positive reviews about ME:A. It's not. The only thing that would be hard would be to find reviews such as in the OP that are ONLY positive.
And IMO it's good that there aren't too many of those because they are just not very genuine. They wouldn't be genuine for ME:A and neither for any other game I have played. After all, nobody (and no game) is perfect.

Therefore, I think the premise of this thread is a bit weird.

"Slightly" came after reading the whole review because its author is complaining about a whole lot of things. Then he comes to the general conclusion that he considers the game fun despite its flaws- that's why i said that the summary is rather bittesweet.

As for the rating itself, 7,5 is not a high score for an AAA game, Bioware game and Mass Effect game. I rate it 6/10 and if it wasn't both Mass Effect and Bioware game I wouldn't bother joining any forums, reading about development process, discussing it and occasionally ranting about it. 6/10 is decent, but for this franchise it's really bad and same goes for 7,5 IMO.

well we can justify ignoring a lot of the user reviews because many of them are 0's from people who quite clearly haven't played the game and are either hating on Bioware for promoting both a Pro-SJW agenda and an Anti-SJW agenda.

There are too many 0/10 user reviews to ever take metacritic seriously. Kids these days think they're making a difference or something by this nonsense but they're really just showing how naive they are.
