MEA Official Reviews Thread (Polarized 9.5-5.0 7.6av)

well there arent any good pc games for awhile, guess ill go with this

This sounds a little salty. I'm not a fan of Zelda, in fact I've never played a Zelda game (sacrilege I know) but it's not only reviewers giving 10s for the game. 

Maybe Zelda is good and ME:A isn't as good as we hoped? 

Masterpiece! I tip my hat to you sir!

It's the EA corporate culture/ influence

Shame to see, but I enjoyed my time with the trial and I look forward to diving back in later today. If I can enjoy Batman v Superman despite the critical reception, I'm sure I'll be fine...

Can we just punch shinobi in his lying face? He said that we should anticipate very positive reviews.

That gamespot review... 6/10 Ouch. Talk about savage.

From the Gamespot review:


. I was hoping they wouldnt skimp and not go all shallow/surface level on the cultral and political aspects of exploration. All that richness & intrigue is what makes science fiction really interesting to me. But i guess Bioware feel differently, sounds like the failed to nail down the world building and lore, failed to really get the side missions to be meaty and involved, rich with npc interaction/dialogue choices, really get the side missions to help build the world and make it fully realised & feel lived in etc... I was at least banking on them getting that right, at least then i could at least find something to enjoy and redeeming about the game. But as it stands i guess there's nothing really there for me to sink my science fiction chops into. The Bioware of old always excelled in this department, oh how times change... The mighty have fallen.

Buy I knew it. Called it. All the peeps calling those of us who looked at Andromeda with a critical eye haters, not knowing what we were talking about etc need to wash the egg off their face now. So my decision to wait till its cheap seems the correct one then. More than justified. In 2017 its just not good enough any more. Still im disappointed, it pains me to see so much poorly executed, half baked & squandered potential from Mass Effect was once more. Its like they learnt nothing from the failings and faults of ME3 or DA:I. Its frustrating tbh. I have to ask will this be the end of Mass Effect?, im beginning to think it will. Knowing what EA are like, the series is going to go the Dead Space route(ie indefinitly shelved aka cancelled). Such a shame. If only the likes of Obsidian made this game and not Bioware Montreal. But alas one can only dream.

Bioware had 5 years. If the end product feels disappointing and unpolished that is entirely on them and not EA.

I still can't believe people trust him as much as they do. For at least the last year I've been telling people to not take his word as gospel, and yet here we are.

It isn't a bad score but it is well below expectations for a Mass Effect game.

If the reviews are any indication, this is the worst game in the series. 

This is all Super Mac's fault! Guy should've never been in charge.
