I read two reviews, one positive, one negative...
And one site said the writing and characters was a strength of the game, the other criticized the writing and characters as being weak points.
Yeah, I'm gonna make up my own mind on this one guys.

Yeah, I'm not surprised at the range of opinions on this, it'll be interesting to read the BSN's reviews. I'm still looking forward to playing it myself, albeit with... tempered expectations. The creative combat combos have piqued my interest though, I'm definitely going to be doing some experimentation. I think that's most of the major reviews anyway. For those interested, here's ME:A on Metacritic (PS4): www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/mass-effect-andromeda

Hmm a mix of score I see.
Really don't care any review, except from myself.

Pretty much what I expected: a couple of rave reviews, a couple of astoundingly negative, and the rest somewhere in the middle.
I'm sure it'll have flaws, but unless something really goes wrong, I'll enjoy it; much like the OT itself, really...

I bought a physical copy, but it won't arrive until 4/4. I guess it's time to say goodbye to this forum, at least for now. But only the Mass Effect area, of course.

Take reviews with a grain of salt. I'm not saying dismiss them -- but don't take them to heart. Unpack what they're saying, listen to their reasoning. We're past the age when it's just an arbitrary number based on how many reviewers the devs have seduced. There is logic and there is a thought process going on behind it. The number is less important than why it was received. ie, if someone deducted 2 points because of animations but animations really don't factor into your judgment, then that's fine. Or if someone dislikes the writing because it's too quip-y or millennial but you like quip-y and millennial that's fine too.

I'm guessing they're leaving the Sara trailer for Tuesday/release day.
But yeah, I've read through a handful of the reviews, but it's mostly just more of the same as all the stuff said during early access + general review stuff. I'd rather judge by the fun time I had during my 10 hours that barely scratched the surface, that left me wanting to continue right then and there. A lot of the stuff in the reviews generally comes down to personal taste too - so you can only take so much from them really.

Hmm very divisive in terms of pros and cons aside from the same technical issues. I enjoyed my trial so I'll continue with the full game and see if that enjoyment continues. Ditto

Looks like we won't be getting the Sara trailer. Just because the critical response is less than flattering doesn't mean EA is going to pull the plug on their marketing. It'll happen.

Yeah somewhat expected. Nothing that boils down my excitement, since I really could not care about a few technical issues and a story that isn't up there with the original trilogy, which was the best story in a video game series I have ever experienced.
I just hope the characters are engaging and interesting in the long run. And I've read somewhere that there are in fact just 4 planets like Eos to discover? That'd be pretty disappointing.
