Fanbase Phenomenon: The Latest ME is Always the Worst

I will say it again, MEA is statistically/critcally the worst ME game based on the following factors:

1) It is the only game not to get SP DLC

2) It is the lowest scored ME game

3) It has the lowest amount of GOTY/RPG of the Year awards (Currently it has 0 nominations in both categories from any publication)

So just going by those, then yeah, MEA is the worst out of all 4 ME games. Then you have other measures such as:

1) MEA was made by the same studio that also made Omega....which was the lowest scored ME3 DLC.

2) It became an internet joke. Yes, ME3 also walked into such territory with the endings, however ME3 still won a few awards and was granted multiple DLCs, one of them being The Citadel which is considered one of the best if not THE best SP DLC Bioware has ever created.

3) MEA failed to match/out do DAI in terms of sales. After DAI was released, Bioware and EA was on a parade bragging about how DAI was the fastest selling Bioware game ever; and this was after the negative reception that DA2 had. So with EA and Bioware not going out on the same parade post MEA launch, it is clear that MEA failed to deliver sales wise the same way DAI did.
