Andromeda is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like the more Whedon-esque approach. The OT was great, but I liked the lighter tone of MEA. The quippy humor was great, in my opinion.

True enough. There were some cringe moments, but over all I loved it. Stupid humor is assuredly my thing. Puns and the like. Love it.

ever watch Frasier?

Go check out other forums who hate andromeda and you'll find it's much of a circlejerk.

pretty good for a sit com.

I agree. After 1.09, it's a great game. Yes, not the best, but incredible when you consider that the lower-level developers churned this mother out in 18 months. Do I think DA4 and MEA2 will be better than their previous installment? Most certainly. I'm hyped (without a word from EA... tsk, tsk) for DA4. I'm ready. Anthem... gearing up for the inevitable "git gud."

I do think it's a game that a person has to take some time with to allow it to "grow" on them.  The story is not one that instantly grabs people and it takes some time before one starts to see how all the little side quest pieces start to fit into the overall story arc... and a lot of gamers are just not used to taking it slow when progressing through a game.  colfoley, way back when, started a thread where he described the character development in the game as a "slow burn" and I still think it's a great way to describe it.  It took awhile for everything to start ot gel, but now that it has, I am far more invested in this game and with this crew than I ever was with Shepard and crew at the end of just ME1 and even well into ME2.

But seriously, I have reasons to think Mass Effect Andromeda is a worthless piece of shit. That's what I call a game that is weak in absolutely EVERY aspect. It hurts even more when you compare to the original Mass Effect saga.

- Combat is much worse. It's not terrible, I had some fun moments with it, but being able to use only 3 powers is pathetic. Not being able to order companions to use powers or tactical freeze makes it much worse. At least they got better and more varied guns. But I still think it's absurd you have an incredible amount of skills to choose from, but you can only choose THREE! In the original saga you could choose 5 or 6, but at least you could use all of them.

- Characters are either boring or copied characters from previous games. I like Vethra, but she's a lackluster copy from Garrus. Drack is a Wrex's clone. Peebee is a much better Sera. SAM is a terrible replacement for EDI. Liam and Cora are just... ugh. Ryder also doesn't hold a candle to Shepard, and now they limited your choices meaning you can't be an asshole. Renegades were one of the most funny thing on the original Mass Effect. I wish so much I could say "I've had enough of your ingenuous assertions!" to Tann and punch him in the face.

- The performance issues are absurd. Stutters all the time, crashes during cutscenes, on launch it was almost like Batman: Arkham Knight for PC. It demands a lot from your PC to deliver "nice" graphics at best. Even at 1.05 it still sucked.

- Side quests are mostly boring. "Hey, go check those guys who disappeared, find out it's an ambush" or something like that. They really should have learned how to make side quests with CDPR. There are a few nice sidequests only.

- Story is lackluster, to be gentle. Also, it pretty much ignores the lore from previous Mass Effects, and it has less alien races than the previous Mass Effects, although we are in a new galaxy.

- Exploration is the worst of all games, like that could even be possible. I already hated the Mako, but the Nomad is the worst shit ever. WHY IN THE NAME OF FUCK did they have to do "two modes" for the nomad to go up a fucking hill even a normal car could go up while the Mako could go over mountains and even had a gun an a fucking cannon? Gosh, just give us a damn shuttle instead and let us fly around. It seems technology only goes backwards in Mass Effect.

Weird. I had twelve. I think you are playing it wrong.

Heaven forbid we have a different opinion than the internet hate mob.  Why think for ourselves when we can have mob mentality?

It's perfectly valid for you to not like the system. But, for instance, I don't really like that I have to hit LB+RB for a power, but I wouldn't ever say I was limited to two powers because of that.
