In the light of mixed reviews: Pre-Order cancelled?

I degraded my pre-order.

Did anyone else preorder it because they managed to get it for kinda cheap?

While I appreciate why people get so mad at others for preordering - I'm getting a bit annoyed with all the berating for supposedly paying full whack because I chose to preorder this game instead of waiting. I didn't. I actually only preordered because it wasn't full price.
I'll take the risk for thirty-nine quid. 

I've cancelled my pre order. I will eventually purchase the game, when it goes on sale, but no way I'm paying £65 for the deluxe version I pre ordered on PSN.

I'm seeing DA:I all over again. I did and still do enjoy DA:I, but not to the extent I would pay £65 for the privilege to do so.

It's a shame as Mass Effect is one of my all time favorites and ME:A was one of the very, very few games I have ever pre ordered because, well, it's ME. No doubt I will enjoy it, however, like i said, not at £65. EA are slowly choking the life out off BioWare which is also a great shame.

The reviews have zero effect on my purchase. It is still Mass Effect so of course I was going to always preordered and play the hell out of it anyway. Besides I liked what I played in the trial.

I played these 10 hours and I really liked it. I'm worried now about the story and too many fetch quests that will get boring but whatever, I have waited 5 years, me need some Mass Effect.

As did i, got the Deluxe for £38.49 instead of £54.99 so no way i'll be cancelling.

After the Access trial and how Ryder 'feels', that feeling of they couldn't make up their mind whether he was a preset character or a blank slate, so gave us the VA of a blank slate and the dialog options of a preset character, so we get this bland mess, only able to select from a tiny range of emotions and to agree to do every thing, I doubt I will buy this game, I can forgive a lot for good RP in an RPG, I cannot forgive their being basically none.

Of course not. Sort of a silly question, tbh.

Nope, going in with lowered expectations and think I'll be surprised in a good way.

Was there one?

I sort of did the opposite, actually.

After reading through the feedback from the trial (which I think does a pretty good job of laying out a variety of different reactions), for the first time ever, I pulled the trigger on a pre-order of the deluxe edition late last night. I usually wait until games have been out for awhile, and have been through some patch cycles to become more stable and whatnot... but I just didn't feel like waiting this time.

I suppose the new gaming rig I just finished building had some influence on this decision. Bit by bit over the last several months, I've been adjusting my expectations as more information came forth. There have been many changes since MET, and for the most part, I think I've adjusted my expectations accordingly.

It's weird.  I've never been on the hype train at all, but as the download nears completion, I'm feeling this odd mix of anticipation and dread.  I don't expect I'll be nearly as attached to this Sara Ryder as I get to most characters I play - due partly to her youth and inexperience and partly due to the CC limitations.  I also expect that I'll be pretty frustrated at times, especially wrt things like no saves and no mini-map (the former I expect will be patched), but I'm old and have learned to take things like that in stride and treat them as personal challenges. 

No surprise, really, that part of the "exploration and discovery" they've been referencing all along has to do with... the UI and how to get things done.  In any case, although the game won't be all that I would have liked it to be, I expect it will provide me with dozens of hours of entertainment - which is pretty much the point.

See you in Andromeda!
