It was fine. I got it on sale so a little better than original. I preferred Femshep though

Sadly no. I always wait for sales as I have very little cash for games, but with MEA I saved my xmas money to get the deluxe version. The only time I've ever done that and it ended up being a good, but not great experience for me personally. If I'd had a discount then I'd be happy enough, but as the one game I've ever saved up for and bought at the get-go it wasn't worth it.

Yes, excellent value. I waited until after the 1.06 patch dropped and then bought the game at a discount. After all the flack it got, my expectations were lower than they were during the pre-release phase, so that left a lot of room for me to enjoy the patched version. Waiting a bit before buying is something I consider to be a good move with any game now since so many of them are coming out with serious bugs. (For those TW3 fans, I paid 1/2 of what I paid for Andromeda for that game and I certainly don't think I got near the enjoyment value out of it. Two years after release, I was still experiencing pretty much identical bugs to what I'm finding so far in ME:A.)

Personally i bought it at release at around a 30% discount over the full price, i think i got it for 33€ or so. I found the game entertaining on my first playthrough, however i was plagued by bugs (like freezing ones) that made the experience very frustrating and difficult to complete.
If i had paid full price, i would rate the game as bad value without a doubt, however seeing how i eventually managed to do a 2nd playthrough after the major bugs were fixed, i rated it average for what i paid.
I thought it would be interesting how different people acquire their games at different price ranges, different times (patched game vs just released), different expectations, etc. thus each person has a different view if it was worth the money spent or not.

NO. Absolutely not.
In fact, now that I think about it, it was downright criminal to charge full price at launch for such an unfinished product. After all these patches, we can see how unfinished it really was.
If someone bought it at a discount, then yeah, I guess. But launch? Nope.
Smh at this poll.

Would never have paid full price for this game, knowing what I paid. This game is the definition of a discount box title. I would've jumped on another title instead. This game broke me as a day one supporter of Bioware products. I'll not blindly buy their stuff anymore, will do more research prior to purchase.

I voted good.
The price I paid for it is like 14 quarts of milk, because milk is expensive where I live, and far more entertaining. I also might have spent that money on a nice jacket, but I have a few jackets already. And now I have Andromeda. Which is quite amusing, and has delivered a few laughs, some excitement, and the joy of the serious face my husband makes during combat, especially when he leans forward in his chair and jerks his whole body when he sets off a combo.

So yeah, if nothing else, Mass Effect Andromeda delivered on the comedy front. And if I'm 100% honest, I like Bioware games. A lot. More than others -- something about the character creator/choices/decent combat/squad of buddies/ settings just gets me enthused in a way that I really don't get anywhere else. So Andromeda had some holes, but I still enjoyed it more than Horizon Zero Dawn (which is probably a better game on every level, but somehow less fun for me). So go figure.

I voted good. With all the patches/dlc stuff, I'd probably rate it excellent, but I began the game before anything was fixed. That probably won't happen next time, unless it quality is awesome right away. I still enjoyed it, though, and am in the middle of my third playthrough which was pretty much inspired by the CC overhaul.

I voted good. If I'm still playing it after getting it on launch then I've pretty much gotten more than my money's worth out of it. I'm surprised only 3 people stole the game.

Bad value.
While content wise, it has enough to keep you busy for a while, it didn't trigger any interest for subsequent playthrough. This is the first for me in when ME games are concerned. Even if I was not happy with the ME3 original endings, I still very much enjoyed the rest of the game. Here, I simply did an additional run for the insanity trophy.

The way I see it is, 1 hour = 1 Dollar. Considering I got more than 127 hours logged on a character, I think it was worth the price. I may not have enjoyed every single hour, but I got my monies worth.

WAS MEA WORTH THE PRICE YOU PAID? For the same price that would have got me about maybe eight/ten hours of entertainment at the movie theater, I got over three hundred so far from the game. So yes, it was worth the price.

Just bought the deluxe version from Origin for half price and with only five hours of gameplay I have only just scratched the surface. It looks like it's going to be good value for money. But will it have the replay value of the original ME franchise?

I was disappointed with the quality of the game overall, but I still voted for good value since I both finished it (~66 hours) and then went back and replayed a few sections to check for differences (~10 hours). I usually want to pay less than $1/hour for a AAA game, and since I bought this one on release for a slight discount it worked out for me.

Excellent value wins? Interesting. I voted average. Still put around 60 hours in the game but never managed to finish my first and only campaign. I'm not mad at spending my money at the day one release but I know now that I wont do it again with a Bioware game anytime soon. (Or any other game for that matter.)
