...yeah, I support freedom of opinion and all, but from everything I've heard, I'm getting a serious 'contrarian' vibe right now.

I worked in a video store ages ago, and people would also ask me if such and such movie was good or not. You know what I would tell them? You are your own best critic. Meaning, I could tell you 'Yes! I loved that movie! Or No! It was terrible!, but that is just my opinion and you will never know if it was good or not, if you liked it or not, unless you yourself watched it. I find video games to be the same. I will play it and I will decide whether I like it or not.

To be honest most of the useful things from previews/reviews is about the game's performance and mechanics. Plot/Story/characters, all those things will be very subjective, but there is often consensus when something is very good or very bad.

I think we can safetly assume this Walker fella doesnt have a clue. I know its his opinion and opinions arent wrong yada yada.... but his opinion couldnt be more wrong. He strikes me as one of those people who just want to be all contrarian and argumentitive just because. Like something is popular so he just has to take the opposite view, nobody else gets it but him.

Ok, now I know what everyone is talking about. Who is this? Vampire lady from Skyrim? and what is that hair color? I cannot believe that this lady is from the game. Captain! another anomaly here, toss her out of the airlock.

I don't like for Mass Effect to have bad press but I like to see both sides of the coin.
It helps keep my expectations in check. It's hard to explain. It doesn't kill my hype to play it though.

I said it on reddit, and I'll say it here:
I mean, the preview embargo has lifted. The videos of the first few hours are out there, and you can judge for yourself.
I watched a couple of them, and completely disagree with pretty much everything this dude has said.
It's just unfortunate that people will take this seriously out of fear of "omgz spoilers" instead of looking and seeing for themselves if they're actually concerned... Nothing I saw in the videos makes me less hyped for playing the game when it gets here, not even the spoilers I came across.

well this is literally the first negative I've seen since most reviewers I follow on social media are praising it thus far.
From what I've watched, I've liked a lot of it. Hopefully I can keep this opinion come next week.

I'd say if anyone has questions about the game and if it's good or not and what the issues are, watch this video from Minius. He got to play 18 hours of the game, was pretty well hyped for it (enough to have a YouTube channel dedicated to Mass Effect and the Andromenerds podcast) but makes some realistic points about the game. He answers questions from fans and seems to be pretty honest. He said the facial animations are, well, not good, and some other critiques, but says it is a very good game and definitely worth playing.
There aren't any spoilers for story information, especially because he's under NDA. Just gameplay mechanics and tech issues for the most part.

I got up this morning believing I'd have toast with jam.
What i got was little more than heated bread with jam on it. The toast was dry and rather than using healthy margarine it was covered in butter.
Butter!
Impressive flavours aside, it almost seemed to have been designed to piss me off. Me specifically, because lets face it folks this isn't a review about your toast or even toast in general.
This is about me; and I can't emphasise enough how much that's the case.
You can like toast all you want but it's played out and so is porridge. Worst breakfast I've ever endured. There is still room to improve, coffee for example or maybe OJ.
I just don't feel like this breakfast has a lot to offer when compared with previous breakfast installments, like Milk and cornflakes, Coco pops or even frosty's (which less face it has a terrible ending.)
In conclusion, don't eat my breakfast or even buy bread. Stick with traditional breakfast platforms like eggs, bacon and pancakes. - Rock Paper Shotgun

My concern was one that was touched upon in the initial review in this thread. There was an issue about how the game automatically transitions you back on the main storyline when you are doing side missions. In other words, if you are on a planet doing side missions, but that same planet also has main storyline objectives, the game will just somehow make you transition back on the main storyline path. Of course i'am just going by what that guy in the preview stated, but if this is true, that is a problem that needs to be patched on day 1

I get it. It sucks that the game isn't getting glowing previews from everyone. He probably genuinely dislikes it.
That being said, this is a guy that also did not enjoy The Witcher 3, which I vastly enjoyed.
So for me, my tastes differ from his. I'm ok with that. I think this proves the game WILL be polarizing but nothing more.

I heard the the Kotaku preview was the exact opposite. Not trying to sound like a fanboy, just noting how different opinions can be.

If this guy also disliked Witcher 3, maybe he just doesn't like open-world and/or action-RPG gameplay in general.
Which, if that's the case, is a valid opinion, but the question then becomes; why in the blazes is this the one that's reviewing an open-world action-RPG?

Ya know what?
With this review, (and ignore all of his grunts and groans) I'm really not impressed.
Sorry. But this game sucks. Except for you console newbs. Who'll accept anything. See : Zelda : Breadth Of The Wild.
I mean, you've got to talk to an asari and a turian right after, both of which send you on fetch quests. JUST LIKE IN DAI.

Well seth mcfarlanse have something to say : It does not make it a bad movie because he said it,just like this guy from rock paper shotgun is not going to change my idea about MEA. Sums up reviews anyway. The guy doesn't like it, he doesn't like it. But the irony is we talk about it as if the sky is falling... It's all subjective in the end...everyone should calm down and judge for themselves when they play it.
