Comparing a single game to a a summary of three entire games is nonsense. Especially when those three games are very individual and the only thing truly connecting them is the narrative and lore. ME1 is a totally different game from ME2. And ME2 is vastly different from ME3. Anyone who played the trilogy straight through, one right after the other, can pick up the dissonance between them all no matter how small it is felt. "ME:A doesn't live up to the OT" well of course, you're pitting a single game experience, against three games that you're compounding as one. How are you supposed jam the essense of each OT game into one? (Actually I think that's likely what Bioware attempted to do here) i think once ME:A 2 comes out, everyone will start letting go of this rigid basis to comparing (essentially) a single game reboot of the series, to a rose-colored filtration of all the OT games squeezed into one compendium made of one's imagination. i noticed I was doing this myself when I was wondering why my Ryder wasn't an exact clone of Shepard. Andromeda is a terrible game compared to each of the trilogy's games separately. Also, ME:A 2 is never getting released. BioWare has put the franchise on ice because of the poor sales and the scathing reviews. |

Err, right. Okay. If you wanna have that much dogma about a subject, I'm out. You're defending something which is shit, you know it's shit, and yet you're defending it anyway.  |

I think Andromeda is definitely in the same league as the original trilogy. Its different stylistically but its very ME1-like, which I love about it. Most of the memes and iconic moments didn't happen until ME2. (I love ME1 the most but to a broad audience its not as memorable).

I "completed" a FailShep playthrough with Sheploo and decided to go full renegade response to every single thing throughout ME1 and 2. It was almost as lulzworthy as my murderous city elf from Origins. I say "completed" because sadly, his entire team died in the suicide mission. |

Hehe, I was never able to complete a full renegade play through like that. It is crazy funny to watch videos of it but actually playing the game like that, I dunno, just makes Shep feel like a sociopath instead of a badass soldier. |

Yeah it can be rough, and honestly, the novelty can wear off fast after many hours. For stuff like that, I can only really manage a speed run, but certainly not something I can even come close to taking seriously, especially considering that so many things you can choose should have serious consequences that strains suspension of disbelief. |

Many of the things I preferred about the trilogy over MEA don't have squat to do with writing. I am both forgiving and patient when it comes to story elements. I am fine with how the story of Andromeda is unfolding so far it's not perfect nor is it as compelling but I an fine with it. My issues with Andromeda in comparison to the trilogy are more mechanical in terms of features and how the game itself is structured. It barely feels like Mass Effect anymore. I have always been one to say that devs and franchises evolve and change but some times things are changed that don't need it. The game itself is just not as fun. It's still an enjoyable game and a good space game but I can't help but think it just misses it's potential as a Mass Effect game.
