Were we Too harsh on Mass Effect Andreomda???

Somewhat too harsh yes.

It was a dissapointment, after so many years of waiting. And it certainly deserved its criticism of releasing in a beta state with all the animations and bugs. But it wasnt a disaster, or a betrayal. Like Aliens: Colonial Marines. Tough some of the comments make it sound like so... Even after all the problems it had id still call it a 7/10 game, which is quite an accomplishment given its clusterfuck of a develoment. Sadly it might be enough to sink the franchise, at least the andromeda part of it for good.

More than anything id blame this on corporate handling,  piss poor management and releasing games out to get quick cashgrabs with flaunting the franchise title. Also bioware "fixing" too much, or overcompensating in the game, making it too joke filled and playing it safe(no doubt because theyre terrified of some fans reactions after the endings now abnd the positive reaction to the citadel dlc, thank you so much...). Next game(if ever) will probably be uber dark and totally serious now, cause their afraid to make anything funny now(wasnt that waht some complained of ME3 too, that it was "too dark"... of course it was, it was the reaper invasion)...

Im kinda blaming the current player environment too, where they judge every game under 8 a shit. That is not so, if you look at them objectively. 7/10, even 6/10 games are fun to play at times still and you can still enjoy them. When you go below 5, thats where the real shit starts.

MEA is like if youre a Star Trek fan and watch a maraton of lets say 10 episodes, theres some really mediocre and boring episodes theres mostly, but couple of them are quite decent.

In hindsight, i wish the game had been released january-march 2018, it could have used some more time.

whatever for? The game has only been out five months and through patching has gone from a hot mess to actually being a very stable game with no major bugs. So what would they have used the seven months for? Playing baseball?

Compared to MEA's CC, it IS the greatest thing since canned beer  

perhaps but we really can't know that for sure considering at the outset they wanted to do something different from the trilogy. The dialogue problems might not have been fixed with ten years development time.

I felt embarrassed having it on my console so I deleted it.

Cheer up, buy a PC.

#PCmasterrace?

Oh there were definite issues and more time for release to fix said issues would have been great. But what I meant was, they seemed to focus solely on that and not comment on say combat, scenery, or anything else. Just kept posting Addison memes to justify why the game is so "terrible", all the while, not even playing it.

I saw a video of the running animation with Swiggity Swooty, I'm comin' for dat booty, and I legit laughed. I mean, it's funny. I still bought the game and played it, and I personally enjoyed it.

I concur.

Probably because it didn't feature a supernaturally strong, powerful white guy with a beard who can sleep with beautiful women (who handily all desire him) without repercussions, including getting them pregnant.

At a guess.

See I find that view a bit odd because I felt like this is exactly what we did. Terraformed and colonised planets, saved the Nexus. Execution could have been better perhaps.

maybe not but they might have tightened up the story with a bit more time.
