PC World also hates ME:A

Plus, if we try, we can find something positive with most stuff. I mean, the game isn't garbage. Agreed. For me, the stuff I don't like doesn't make it unplayable. It might make it less enjoyable in some ways, but once I got off focusing on that, I found there were a lot of things about it that I do like. The combat for me is better than all the other games though I do miss a good grab for kicks. The story idea is good, delivery less so, but once I really stopped focusing on that, I found that I can still get that great ME1 feeling if I focused on my character making a difference, his end of it rather than the story side of it. Then it became pretty awesome. Most stuff has good and bad, things you like and  things you don't like. It's hard when things aren't at all what you hoped to focus on the bits of it that are workable or perhaps likable. But once you shift to that, it might not be so bad. Though I guess it depends on the person. DAI for me was a fail, for example. I just could not get into that game no matter how hard I tried. MEA though I can, thankfully. 

Yeah, preorders rarely go well these days. It's always much nicer to get a game later for cheaper and have those bugs all sorted out. In my case, I don't regret my preorder though because I am playing the game now and had nothing else to play because I was sick to death of ESO. For people who find it unplayable though, that really sucks. I can understand their disgust.
