Jim Sterling reviews Andromeda's Metacritic reviews - article

So, to bring this thread back from the brink here, let me ask a question:
If I comment here about Jim Sterling, am I reviewing a review of reviews?

And what would you call that? Reception?

Some of the reviews stating that this game is Dragon Age Inquisition in space is totally wrong. I wish it was DAI in space. The fetch quests and having a generic villian are the only things MEA and DAI have in common. But DAI also had some of the best characters in the history of the franchise like Cassandra, Dorian, Iron Bull etc. All of them had deep character arks and they were not at all boring. They were written with professionalism. Another thing DAI had are secondary antagonists who had personalities and you could interract with them.Calphernia, Magister Alexius, Envy Demon, Nightmare Demon etc. 
DAI also had a magnificent collection of soundtracks which made the game immersive as fuck. Nıt including the 10 dragons which had different types of attacks and were rewarding to kill. 
This game would've had much better reviews if it was indeed Dragon Age: Inquisition in space.

Ignorant bigfoots!!

but like................why
instead of using 'autistic' pejoratively, why not use a word that doesn't hurt people?
just because you want to use the one that does
so that you can stick it to those oversensitive autistic people and their allies for wanting respect in a society that stigmatizes and marginalizes them....
oh wait I mean stick it to those SJWs, that's it

SofaJockey already told me to ease up on the polarizing jokes, and I agreed to those terms.
He also said to end discussion of this indecent in this thread. If you actually want to know "why" then PM me or read my posts in this thread.

Otherwise, it's best to heed to the jockey of sofa's request.

I mean they weren't exactly unique but still they had some sort of variance like electric power being really different than ice and fire or some of them using barrier while others use guard. I know they aren't much but they required planning before going in battle especially in nightmare.

Wait seriously?!WTF!

Are you kidding? Day one I was glued to the monitor and YouTube had already declared it dead on arrival. EA's response: silence. Talk about consistent though.

It would seem Quarantine has deleted their account and is no longer with us. 

Was just fyi, wasn't trying to tell you to shut up or anything. 

No. I know that. I was just so late to respond. I had to run errands with the boss lady and let's face it... I'm no technological wunderkind. I'm so slow to grasp new technology or trends. I still have a Timex Ironman watch from 1989. It's not like I can't afford a new one, but why?!? Smartphones... I finally gave up my Nokia brick two years ago. Internet... I'm too embarrassed to tell you, but it was necessary when I needed to download patches... 

(shhh... and this.)



Sad... I know... I know... 

Thank the Maker for the Internet. 

Dorian was far from great. He was basically David Gaider's soapbox. A character made up of daddy issues and the typical sassy gay man using wit to fight discrimination. Flamboyant, fashion obsessed.

I'll grant you Cassandra, Varric, Iron Bull, Leliana (amazing progression), Josephine, and Cullen. Even Solas and Cole were solid, and Vivienne was a well-written controversial character.

But as a gay man, Dorian was nothing more than trite, obnoxious repetition of the victimhood narrative alongside the same stereotypes about gay men. Wanna break stereotypes? Cullen is far more up your alley. We haven't had a single knight archetype gay male character in the franchise, who's well adapted let alone traditional. It's always from the perspective of some drama-prone, maladapted neurotic minstrel.

Few characters have made me cringe as Dorian has.
