No wonder Andromeda sucks. Because the game formula they copied, The Witcher 3, sucks!

I respect your opinions about The Witcher 3 but I disagree that Andromeda 'sucks' because it resembles The Witcher too much. Mostly because the statement that a game sucks or not is subjective 9 out of 10 times but also because I find it difficult to really pinpoint actual similarities between both games. One's a fantasy game whilst the other is sci-fi. One is solely based around a pre-rendered character and the other has to account for custom characters combined with numerous permanent squadmates. One is heavily based on finishing the story of a trilogy whilst the other is more about exploring the unknown and starting anew. One has a focus on heavy and difficult choices whilst the other (apart from a few key choices in the main story) is mostly centered around choices without repercussions. One has a philosophy where sidecontent holds a story most of the time whereas the other has no problem with adding a sh**ton of tasks and assignments to fill its worlds with. One is based on regional exploration whilst the other is about exploring multiple planets which makes the way the Open World turns out to be really different. I could expand the list some more but I believe this is quite enough for now.

This also explains for me why I consider The Witcher 3 one of the best games I've ever played, (a statement which I not make lightly) whilst Andromeda currently finds itself in the mid-tier of okay-to-good games. They are, for me, nothing alike as demonstrated before. I'm also kinda baffled that you make so many comparisons which I feel don't hold up at all like 'the sidecontent in both games is boring'. It's of course possible that you didn't like the side-content in both games and I'm not judgeing that, but I see quite a lot of differences so that's what I'm contesting here. In TW3 most, if not all, sidecontent takes place on the same map. Quests are only one fast-travel point away. They often offer a plot-twist, a unique monster to fight or a specific mechanic created for the sidequest itself. The choices you make actually return one way or the other later on in the game. Andromeda, on the other hand, offers loading screens all the time. For a single quest, like Contagion for example, you have to go through multiple loading screens in the nexus, followed my multiple loading screens when you travel through the cluster . At the end of a quest you'll have to make a decision which seems hard but has NO consequences at all. In between you'll mostly fight some generic rogues with a bigger one mixed in between. No special enemies for sidequests at all. In fact, no special enemies anywhere. Even the Architects play out exactly the same on all planets. For me the differences are quite obvious to be honest. Then again, I'm not attacking you in any way for not liking The Witcher 3. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinions. I fail to see the comparisions between TW3 and Andromeda however. To me, they're practically nothing alike. If i'd compare them here again, which I don't really want to do because there are already enough people doing that on these boards, I would compare them for their differences and not for their similarities.
