Should I give Andromeda a second change?

Why you're asking us? Do you want to reinstall it or don't you want to do it? Do you want to replay it or don't you?

Make up your own mind or do you really want to bait for millionst helping of fanboy vs hater.

well, I started Origins in 2012, gave up on it after the intro, because it looked ugly. picked it up again in 2016, when I got clued in how to adjust video options, and got through it Okay, but I felt frustrated, b/c I was in a rush to get through DAT before Andromeda. I restarted it again last month, and actually enjoyed it more, after I ran my new shiny toy twice. I find the artistic and gameplay contrast really sharpening enjoyement of both games.

If your frame of mind/mood have changed, try another shot at it. If it is the same, I'd say wait longer. Game's not going away.

You can give it another change.

Just try to avoid giving too many pennies.

Thats up to you. For me, no patch can fix the issues that I have with the game such as the story and open world execution so MEA is a one-and-done for me. YMMV

Do you want to? That is the real question. I personally think the best time to do something is when you are inspired to do it. If you want to do it, if something about it is calling you to do it, go for it. But if you are bored and just looking for something to do, then probably not because in that state, nothing really satisfies you and then you think it sucks when really you weren't in the mood for it.

Pretty much this.

After doing a bunch of speedruns and testing a romance out that keeps changing each new patch lol I am not enjoying myself because it feels like a chore, so I am taking a break. Too burned out. If I force myself to play, I'll hate on it for no reason because I am doing something I don't want to do.

Basically he should try again and if he still feels "eh" about it, forget about it and play something else. You don't know until you try.

Can absolutely relate. I played MEA a ton since release but I've hit a bored with it period so I'm chilling out, watching TV, hitting the gym, doing other stuff. I played an insane amount of hours so I got my money's worth.

Gotta go with the flow. Best way to live life. Never try to make stuff happen when you aren't feeling it because that never really goes very well. Unhappy journeys never have happy endings  despite they like to sell that fiction. And unhappy journeys only become happy ones when you shift your perspective on it. Okay, enough fortune cookie wisdom.  Imma go eat a hamburger.

Around 2 hours on Narrative lol poor Dunn met a sad fate that time lol and I could be even faster if I wasn't stopping for each romance scene to test it and report back.

... and I equally don't care whether or not the OP is bored with this game.  I'm not bored with this story at all.  I've given two suggestions as to how he/she can possibly avoid being bored with the story and the hacking this time around.  It's completely up to him/her whether or not he/she gives it a second chance.  I'm not out to convince anyone to like this game... and I'd appreciate people not trying to convince me to hate it.  (Since there is significantly less hacking in ME:A than there was in either ME1 or ME2, I am indeed suspicious about the OP not being completely sincere about what he/she has posted).

Am I the only one who finds it easy to just choose the symbols without knowing how to play Sudoku?
