About all these " reviews "

All the reviewers are bioware drones. Almost all of the things they stated in their reviews are entirely false. They are recruited by bioware to relentlessly market this garbage game. And the funny thing is that a ton of bioware fans, being the retards that they are, believe in all that nonsense. Great comedy though.

The game is garbage, that's already confirmed. As you've correctly pointed out, the information that I provide is in the form of a factual preview and not an opinion-based review.

Many of the people who play garbage games do not realise or understand that these games are garbage. Some are like that because they're in denial, but the rest are truly retarded and actually like this garbage. Pick your poison.

weak villain introduction though?

fuck

that's the biggest concern that I have. If it's anywhere near as catastrophically weak and stupid as Corypheus, I'm going to literally cry.

I just don't understand why facial animations and Sarah's beauty is an issue.

I think the problem is too many spoiled rotten babies in the player-base.

I'm glad this isn't an mmo. I won't have to put up with foolish whiners once I'm in game.

I read a few because I was wondering what all the hype was about, I can't play it as I don't own a PS4. My conclusion was that it scored high because of the graphics which is really the only thing that is universally praised. The other features (combat, story, etc) all seems to have been hit or misses depending on the reviewer.

We can see the same thing in MEA previews, reviewers impression is all over the place. I saw a few saying it was DAI in space, then others saying it wasn't. Then you have some that say this isn't Mass Effect, but I read one written by a huge ME fans says it had all the right feels.

The best ones are those complaining MEA is an action shooter though, I get the feeling they forgot how much shooting they did in ME1, ME2 and ME3. All they remember is the cutscenes at the beginning and the end of missions, not the long corridors filled with enemies to kill that happening in between said cutscenes.

It's really too bad DA:I has a bad stigma attached to it these days, because the cliffhanger with Solas was pretty awesome.

I actually liked when Corypheus kicked Lavelan's ass during the battle at Heaven. He looked a lot more cool than in DA2.

Yes Bioware payed all these "drones" to write all the unflattering things that were said about its game in the reviews the OP talked about.  What a brilliant plan.

"Giant bomb no one has talked about "Ugly Sara Face" in a while, this not acceptable.  She was designed to ignite controversy.  The face that launched a thousand posts.  Please bring it up again."
Bioware slides Giant Bomb some money.

"Game Informer please if you could talk about how the game didn't wow you.  We were going for a really average feel to this game.  We want people to know how accurate we were."
Bioware slides Game Informer some money to the previewer, who I am pretty sure spent it on heroine. 

Corypheus wasn't that bad when he showed up. I was kinda on board with that. "A big ugly guy who taunts you with his bad-guy speeches. Cool, show me what you got!" but then he disappears almost the rest of the game and everyone's like "Oh no... Corypheus is SO EVIL, we have to STOP HIM!" it's all telling with no showing. The Grey Wardens join him because mind-control. The red templars are a rogue-faction because Red Lyrium mind control. The assassin who wants to murder the empress is evil because she wants to join Corybory in remaking the world so she can be his right-hand? Eh, okay... Calpernia actually leaves because she's smart? Nice touch!

But Corypheus is such a weak villain because over the course of DA:I after his reveal he doesn't do jack shit to make you fear him or even think he's cool.

If Archon is someone who regularly taunts us maybe over vid-com or has cool second-in-commands with nice reasons or if whatever the Kett needs remnant tech for is sensible, maybe they're full of prejudice as well, then it's all cool if he's a bad guy with a booming voice. Just show me why I should care.

I'm so afraid that after the first encounter every crew member will just go "Oh no, Archon is so evil, we must stop him before it's too late!".

The reviews weren't really that negative overall. The tone of most was positive, while raising some concerns about janky animation, bugs, or cover mechanics.

I've already decided I'm going to buy the game, even if the reviews are mixed, or (heaven forbid) really really bad. It's because I'm a big Mass Effect fan. Or, at least, I was.

I want to like the series again, and I want to see what's going on for myself, even if it puts me out $60. Most things I won't buy on launch just on principle, and I don't really ever pre-order anymore, but I like games. I like talking about games. I like experiencing games. If I set my mind to buy something, I buy it, even if people don't like it, so I can create my own complete opinion on it.

So, as a fan, and as a gamer, I'm getting Andromeda. I'm worried it won't be as great as 1 or 2, but I intend to see what Bioware does for myself.
