'I dislike or hate the game' (General feedback)

lol, Do you know what Ryder says?  This is the exact quote, you have two options but I assume you didn't go douche bag and say I never knew my dad.


"He made the ultimate sacrifice, he got the team out of danger, we all owe him for that."

Then your character says, "What are we doing in SAM Node?"

One of the most important people in your life dies, and you give them a single sentence.  And now it's back to business!

...and most replies in this thread have been way meaner than anything the OP ever said. (Ad hominems anyone?)

Well, I can say"- If you have problems with people complaining, don't waste your energy here, on go play your beloved game, instead of whining about people complaining/ranting" as well. But that would be kind of tyrannical (although totally called for). I am amazed at the fact, that some people still lack the capability to learn how this world works.

I never have high expectations for video games anymore. I've been burned out by so many that I even stopped preordering after Rome 2 because of how much of a mess that game was. It needs to be said that I haven't played DA:I barely (and I mean that, I think 2-3 hours?) to see similarities between that and ME:A.

I've been doing research about ME:A and more and more it reminded me of Mass Effect 1. Just a much better version of the game which I do believe I got from it. I'm enjoying the hell out of the game, I think the pace of it is solid, I enjoy the characters and the story so far. I felt like I was on a new journey at the start of the game and it has kept me engaged. Back this up with good combat and good main character customization and this game has me hooked. However, there are things that I just have to ask me myself  "why did Bioware choose to do this?" For example;

1 - No manual save during priority missions. I'm not sure who thought this would be a good idea, but this is just a really bad concept that doesn't make any sense. I was so angry during a certain part of the game (I don't want to list spoilers) and because I chose to explore and die (playing insanity) I was sent back nearly 20 minutes? I feel punished as a player at such a hard difficulty that I feel discouraged to explore because of time wasters like this. Please change this ASAP. Just to add, why isn't there a quick save? Why?

2 - No squad customization. I feel that this is a big blow for the game that has such a large crafting system. I really love the similarities with load outs, as it again, has the ME:1 elements to it, which is fantastic in allowing me to craft and research. However, why can't I make equipment for my squad mates? This is an RPG, picking skills for my squads and not their equipment to me is just silly. I never liked this in ME:2 and I don't like it in ME:A. The crafting system is far too bloated for just 1 character. Why go to all of this effort if it's just for 1 person? It's just a waste of time that could have been spent on other things.

I'm not going to go into the CC or face animations. Answer is I could care less. Any game that involves having the main character with a voice makes me want to be their default look.

There are some good things that I just love, the game size. I enjoy MASSIVE games with so much to do and I enjoy feeling overwhelmed. I like the new conversation wheel. I like it that when I explore, it get's added into conversations. There are good things that I seriously like about this. However, I do remain a bit concerned as fans that are unhappy have clearly mentioned their dislikes in DA:I and to see these occurring again makes me concerned if Bioware is listening or not.

Overall I'm enjoying this game a lot.

I can't work out what's more frustrating, the way the save system works (or doesn't) or the fact that this game is utterly soulless.

You can manually save (by going into the menu) when not on priority missions, but if you're on a priority mission, you cannot save manually - it's auto all the way, and frankly, it's bad. I'm going to assume it is designed to only autosave after encounters rather than before (or, you know, both), as if you die you gotta go some distance back.

I think it keeps all the autosaves files. At least, when I manually load (rather than hitting resume) there's a decent list of saves. And I tend to only keep one manual save.

I don't agree with that sentiment either. Funny thing is, people would say the same thing if BioWare went ahead and made a direct sequel that canonized an ending. There is no escape. 

I like the setting. 

Might be in the minority, but I wanted a clean break from the originals and an end to the Shepherd saga, because I felt it gave the writers creative freedom and not be restricted by lore / the past / etc. 

Unfortunately, I don't think they executed nearly as well as I had hoped. 

But that doesn't, or shouldn't, equate to shitting on the original trilogies. 

A cliche movie line insert: - You just don't get it do you?


AND WHO DA FUСK did I insulted? Stop being snowflakes. You like the terrible/immature writing? Fine. And just because you do, it doesn't mean that for some reason (and I know most of them), think that everybody else should like it. 

I will give just a small recent example - I've watched Rogue one the other day. It's the same deplorable situation as well. It's a trend at this point. And I was facepalming the entire time while I was watching the movie, the same types of facepalms as with andromeda.  So I guess they do it, because the majority likes it. Just don't expect the rest of us to sit back and take it, or shy away from saying anything about it.

Also, I have no idea how this particular franchise (MASS EFFECT) brings like... THE WORST THINGS in me. It makes me hate myself. It's like some sort of abusive relationship type of thing. That's why probably this song fits perfectly with my situation and what I think/feel about ME/BW currently:

But are you mature? It sounds like you are missing/missed something in your life, and the amatureish cheesy-teen-awkward writing somehow fulfills something for you.
