Why long after I stop playing the game do I think the graphics are last gen but when I come back the

Visuals was never the issue.....story and characters was always the core issue with Andromeda. Art direction and design was astounding even when Andromeda dropped on day 1. 


ME2 and 3 to this day still have weird character animations that pop up every now and then...i've experienced a few with my recent play-throughs of 2 and 3, yet the story and characters are what kept the overall experience compelling.

To this day i can still play Silent Hill 2 and 3 (Ps2 games) even tho the visuals may not be on the gaming level of what we see today, but the art direction, characters and story still deliver a compelling and interesting decent into the depth of madness and the disturbing imagery that was implemented, fleshed out the entire experience. 


Again, Andromeda was an amazing looking game even before the 1st patch came through,....those animation issues was not the core issue that plagued Andromeda....sure some clowns on youtube tried to make a big issue out of it, but if the story and characters was more compelling and interesting, those minor animation issues would not have been a problem for the game at all. 

Only noticed. Few pop in instances on my Xbox. Xbox seems more optimized to me.

I’m saying I don’t see that on my Xbox. Maybe on a rare occasion but not all the time.

I think people are seeing the game, warts and all, through clearer eyes because they have space between themselves and the clickbait whining that infested youtube. In other words, the real issues with the game can be differentiated from the clickbait nonissues or overinflated gripes, now. I like the game, reinstalled recently to start another playthrough in fact, but you've seen my emphatic gripes with elements of the game, mostly in the story and characterizations. I think too many players let youtube tell them what to think.

I think eventually people will look back on it with fairer eyes. It's not a perfect game, it has some strong weaknesses but some great strengths. At the end of the day its a good game, I think people will realise it, and are starting to once they buy it on the cheap deals that have been happening lately.
