Thank you BioWare!

This is what I've been trying to say for a while now. In the meantime we still have to deal with 'I love this game' or 'I hate this game' threads everyday, both sides completely ignoring or disregarding the other. Andromeda's critic score of 72 on PC shows that it isn't a bad game but it isn't a masterpiece either. People don't have to agree with that exact score personally, but so far, every hour I put in the game seems to understripe this general conclusion. For me, a lot of well done mechanics like combat are countered by buggy performance, sometimes shoddy writing and worlds which sometimes can be described as bland, tedious and repetitive. For others, the lists of things which can be described as 'good' or 'bad' will probably be different. That doesn't matter, what does, is that, even though you love or hate the game, there simply are things which are objectively awesome or sub-par in comparison to the OT or other games which have recently released. How much of a fanboy or troll you are shouldn't matter in these cases. Only the arguments you bring to the table to change or improve on these divisive mechanics should. As an example I would like to give the Asari-clone debacle. Defending Bioware's decision to get through with this is pointless and a waste of time. Even when you don't care that much about the clones or generally love the game it's be obvious that they made a mistake here. In this particular instance it would be better if we could just skip the 'you're a troll because you're complaining about this' and the 'you're a fanboy because you defend Bioware till your last breath' insults and just focus on what can be done to improve on this in the future.

So all in all I believe we should be past the 'hate or love the game' stage now. That's something for first impressions and the weeks following a release. What we could really use now is fruitful discussions about the future. Apart from this I also would like to point out that it's still OP's right to post his opinion. I just believe that we should try to move past the 'cirklejerk about how good or bad the game is' and have some actual discussions about the game again.

Can someone post a clapping gif. Mobile won't let me. *headbuts phone

griffonclaw39, I noticed the same thing, when i went back to ME3 for a blast in the past run, i kinda felt ...almost let down, a little flat even..now dont get me wrong i really enjoyed and still do enjoy the original trilogy but after playing Andromeda and the Frostbite engine the amount of detail and graphic content that they can now achieve is wild...one can only imagine what games will be like in another 10years with VR detailing.
I think now to go back and play ME1-ME3 i would step back from Andromeda for a month or two so i didnt start the comparing thing we do..
And yeh cant wait for DLC's to start rolling in..

I had a lot of fun with my first PT but haven't had the chance to play since then, real life has kept me busy. Now I will be able to play again but I am waiting to see if there will be any new dlc soon. We should hear about it sometime at some point.

The best games for me are when I forget time and space around me, and just live out the story with my character and that is what it felt like when I played ME:A the first time. That is a great feeling! There are things that irritated med like the same face on every asari and so forth but the main thing for me is that I am having fun, I am enjoying myself.

Thank you for that BioWare

Hope that we will hear about dlc soon, it will be fun to start a new PT and see all the little things that have been patched in since the last time I played.

I really enjoyed the game on it's own when not compared to ME:OT or even Dragon Age.

It's a good game for the money and I spent about 200 hours with it.

I'm currently playing through DAI and DAI has so much more complexity. Just the back stories of the characters are so complex.

It's kind of the opposite of MEA. Hated the combat in DAI (before I got used to it..still don't love it)
Loved the combat in MEA, except for only having 3 powers at a time.

DAI is so long and complex. Each DAI region seems to have twice the content of planets in MEA.

The writing and character interaction is so complex in DAI...even for side events.

If anything DAI is too long...but MEA seems too short.

I still like my CC created DAI character better than the small choice I got with MEA.

So MEA is a good, fun game, but not great and not one I'll play 1000 hours like most of the ME:OT and DA series
