Were we Too harsh on Mass Effect Andreomda???

I never treated it harshly, other people did, and many jumped on the bandwagon because they love to be involved with what they perceive to be the popular view.

It deserved better, and those moaners are probably why we won't get DLC.

Oh, it will be all written, I'm not very good at making videos, and since english is not my first language, I would have a lot of foreign accent and difficulty to make a review in english

Yeah this got as much if not more hate then aliens colonial marines and no mans sky, but ME:Andormeda is leagues better then both of those games combined. 

To answer the question, does the people were too harsh with MEA? no but mostly yes people were too harsh.

While the facial animation and the bugs were too numerous and the game should have been delayed for a few months and deserves some of the criticsm, the reaction to it was overblown. I see games releasing with worse animation or at least, more buggy state and people do criticize them but not to the point of the reaction MEA had at its release where you would swear they were reacting like the sky was falling.

And the thing is, everyone is entitle to their own opinion about the game, the problem is MEA was facing criticism from people who did not even play the game basing their judgments solely on the pew die pie videos or some of them are paranoid about the SJW conspiracy that for some reasons ruined the game...

That's not how a company works. They get their data through market research and their very own sales figures. Not through moaning on youtube. It's ridiculous to assume something like that. DA2 had a similar reception and got three DLCs because the company expected revenue based on their own data.

Those are your screenshots?

Actually, it's ridiculous to think that the media's reception wouldn't have an impact, and the media jumped on the bandwagon like everyone else. The difference between ME:A and DA2 is that although a lot of players moaned about DA2, the media received the game in a very positive light. That's why it ended up with so many DLC's. If it had controversy like ME:A had, I bet it would've had fewer DLC's than it had.

When you have so many opinions on the game out there moving in both sides of the spectrum (loved it, hated it) I'd say that in some cases it was harsh. However, taking aside pure hate, the heavy criticism this game received was valid imo.
A triple A tittle that on the technical department performed worse than any other previous title even when they claimed a million times that they would polish/fix before launch, it's no wonder people went mad at the game.
A major consensus for a relatively lackluster storyline and inconsistent writing, the first good thing that comes to mind to pretty much everyone about this games is graphics. And that is just sad, but it's the truth.

No and yes on my part.

At launch, it was a f***ing embarrassment of glitches and just plain broken on the PS4. All of my patreon recipients were justified in saying it was going to suck. They predicted it because they were hearing about the mess in Montreal.

1.05 pretty much allowed me to play it through and give me real time to appreciate what I had, but I saw the diamond (not the turd... say otherwise and I'll mentally rip your still beating heart from your chest) that was there.

Played the original trilogy on Unreal rig and guess what? I missed Andromeda. Tried Fallout 4 for another run... nope. Far Cry 4... nope.

Then 1.09. The diamond has a few flaws but it's still a diamond.

I already apologized for running my mouth. I stopped being Uncle Cyan and was this freakazoid who was out of his favorite drug of choice. BioWare is not a game studio. Not to me. It's the only studio where I see passion and soul going into a canvas that is filled with art, music and interactivity that makes me live out a fantasy for a while. I just wish EA markets them properly instead of recycling other companies bad ideas. BioWare deserves and needs better.

Considering we know MEA made a profit (even labelled as a 'driving force' for Q1 2017) and, as EA themselves pointed out, recieved over 100 reviews giving it 80% or higher, I can't believe the internet backlash didn't have something - or, more likely, a lot - to do with what's now become of the dev team and the game in general.

If the game had sold the exact same numbers but hadn't been used as a memeable punching bag to 'punish SJWare', I'm certain DLC would definitely be on the way. The infuriating thing right now is that every time the official BioWare or Mass Effect Twitter accounts post anything (with the exception of the recent tragic news about Corey Gaspur), pretty much every reply is people begging for DLC and using #SaveTheQuarians, rather than GIFs of pre-patch Sara or whatever - but I feel like that pivot has been too little too late.

Maybe I just have too much faith in people, but I still deep down believe that if BioWare released a trailer for a DLC - quarians, geth, new gear, a super well animated one-liner from Ryder about thinking we'd seen the last of her/him - people would lose their minds and be breaking down the doors to get their hands on it.

People love a good redemption story - but even with all the articles and videos popping up about how MEA was perhaps judged too harshly, I just feel like that time has passed.
