Listening to the reviews was a mistake!

I've been flamed by the best.

I relish the flaming...

It's fun to watch people burn themselves in the process. 

Worse game ever? No. However this game has major problems. All bugs aside, animations etc. The writing isn't very good, the characters are very stale, and everything's just so casual. I think they were going for a "Guardians of the Galaxy" vibe, but the writing and character writing is subpar. Also, this game doesn't need the padding it has. If some of the fat was trimmed, I think the experience would've been more enjoyable.

you know despite all the complaints about this games narrative sucking I have heard almost zero justification of that stance whereas I have gone to great lengths explaining how strong the games narrative is and why i feel that way.

What agenda has Bioware been pushing? From all the complaints, people make it sound like the entire game is about social justice.

That's because you choose not to accept the narrative criticisms that you hear/read and brush them off.  It's a bland, generic story that rehashes the trilogy.

not really. I rarely hear that in almost any quarter...and while i understand that criticism i also disagree with it.

Man gamers are the worst customers. There is a day coming when due to the constant whinning we simply won't be getting any good games except shallow Mp-only ones. And they will sell millions as they do now.
You are not helping the various developers this way.
Wildlands sold millions. Many here own it i bet.
I quit. No hope at all.
You are not happy with anything.
So far in andromeda i am blown away. Like i was in wicther. And in Da:I.
But noooooo:
"my little sorry ass want something else i saw in that other game" go play that other game then.
This is not critisicm.
ALso: Double standards. Most of you have them.

Thats not how things (should) work.
Colfo asks for arguments and then dismisses them without giving counter arguments.
If not going to listen to arguments, why ask for some? Arguments are there to give you another perspective and optimaly they change your mind, but ultimately you have to counter them.
Basicaly... the pro lobby says most of the time "I love the game" without saying why, and it is perfectly fine for the rest of the pro lobby. On the other hand, when someone says "I dislike the game" (or god forbid "hate the game"), this claim is instatly dismissed if not given arguments. Even worse, even given arguments are dismissed.

Here I will give you an example of bad writing and narrative: Hyperion hits the Scourge. So the ark leaves the empty dark space to enter the not so empty galaxy space, a service crew is awake. They plot a course to their designated golden world and well, leave the bridge for the rest of the journey. The scourge is huge and not invisible, it emites high radiation, according to game, there is no way someone could miss it. Yah they are not military but imagine it like a civilian ship on the high seas, plot the course and all go below deck "everything will be all fine"... I am certain some people working in that area will disagree. So now, come on, tell us why THIS is perfectly written and have great narrative. Tell us how it makes sense, how the scourge just appeared out of nowhere to engulf the ark to take Ryder #2 out of the equation for 90% of the game so BW do not have to bore coming up with some meaningful decent story.

I certainly am quite curious what you will tell me about this. Folks already failed at selling me the mutiny, now I am eager to hear something about this.

I agree I don't there is a huge difference between the two games, but I also don't think there is a huge difference between the animations in any of the Mass Effect games. ME3 probably had the most polished though.  With the exception of a couple of studios who have made facial animations one of their top priorities, there hasn't been a whole lot of advancement in facial animation in general in the last 10 years.  ME1 animations were revolutionary at the time and BioWare has only made incremental improvements since then.  

The most aggravating is the Gaming press who validated the hate towards this game.
The gaming Press and their double standards.
Skyrim was not functional at launch so 10/10
