70 hours in, i cannot get most of the complaints. At all. UPDATED OP#2

you know i think i am going to start calling the people who react to positive opinions in an overly negative 'how dare you.like this game can't you see it sucks!' as the opinion police.

Different strokes I guess. I laughed at the animation gifs but they didn't affect my opinion. I've seen worse. Try live action scenes with bad acting. So glad that went away. As I said my problems with this game can't be patched. You didn't hear any cringe worthy dialogue; different strokes I guess. Too much stupid humor; poorly timed. Ryder comes across like a Don Knotts character who blunders through the story; you never take him seriously because most of what happens to him feels like blind luck. His own team, happy to eat his food and ride around on his ship treats him like a stupid kid they're mooching from. It doesn't feel like you are somewhere new and unexplored; it feels like you're on a stupid day trip. For me, tone, characters, and writing all just not meshing and it's a poor experience. I have 130 odd hours in; I tried to get back into it but after chasing the stupid plague woman and then foiling the kill the AI bomb plot, I stopped again. I'm supposed to be exploring; not being the mobile police force for this space station full of deadbeats and dipshits. So, I decided to play my free copy of Witcher III game of the year edition.

Also, Don Knotts had a very successful career... nothing wrong with some people liking that sort of style of comedy.

That is not true at all.

Speaking of it not being gods gift to gaming its not even my favorite mass effect game.

But that's the thing. Humor is among the most individual things there are. What some people find funny makes others cringe. You can chase me from here to the moon by threatening me with an Adam Sandler movie. But he wouldn't be a star if everyone thought the same.

The problem is, the humor often seems misplaced in this game. Which wouldn't be big deal if you could escape it by choosing dialogue options. But in cutscenes, such as the return from EOS one, the only option is the skip button if you don't find the exchange funny.

Which basically is my main problem with the game. I never called it a bad game, cause it isn't, but it's easily my least favorite Bioware game. And my Bioware experience dates back to Baldur's gate. I skipped a few titles that didn't interest me in the first place, but right now I'm replaying DAII, which previously held the title of least favorite Bioware game for me. I'm astonished how even this game appeals more to me than the prospect of doing another run in Andromeda.

Might also be that I expected more after five years of development. I shouldn't have, since I watched my favorite reviewers before buying, but I never expected the lead and companions to be that bland as compared to my previous experiences.

its my third favorite of 7. It is worse then some but faaaaaarrr better then the worse bioware experience. (DAO)

Its funny a lot of people who like MEA also liked DA 2. And i really liked DA 2 and view MEA as a refined and polished DA 2.

Case in point.  This is an example of you going off the deep end in your comments.  Saying DAO is the worst Bioware experience, when Sonic Chronicles, NWN, DA2 etc are all out there as well, makes people think “is he serious?  He can’t be serious” - and accordingly people will come after you because what you’ve written sounds so ridiculous.

Sometimes it’s to argue, sometimes it’s to see how deep the rabbit-hole goes...
