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

ok, the bad:
bad facial animations in a game with so much dialog!
boring fetch quests, just like DAI, they said they learned from witcher 3, that's not true, or at least not in this game
exploration is boring,

You make you good points.

I just don't think it matters anymore.

Or won't for much longer?

Bah.

What I'm saying is this franchise is probably over after this. I hope not, but if it is this is as helpful as trying figure out "What really happened" was to ME3

In the end it didnt matter and if what you say is true. They got your money and don't care.

*Sits Ryncol*

$40 mill budget while GTA V spent $265 mill.  Now i get that GTA has a larger fan base.  Still though, i would have expected at least a 100 mill budget from a game like this that is expected to make 500 mill over its lifespan and will kick off at least 2 more in its series.

To me they seriously shoot themselves in the foot because the impression people get with ME:A will help determine how many people buy the second one in a few years when they release it.

Its sad when KOTOR 2 a game 13 years old still trumps the recent releases by Bioware.   I miss the days where the dialog choices you make have real consequences in the story line and actually make your character good or evil in the end.

I think im gonna boot up KOTOR again lol.

You know it's a sad time when Fallout game has animations on par with Mass effect game. Yes, I went there.
Wanting a 9/10 or 10/10 game doesn't mean it has to be perfect in every way. There are bunch of 10/10 games out there that have quite a few issues, but overall they are quality games that are worth their money. Pros are so good that they bomb the cons out of the sky. Andromeda doesn't have any of that for a lot of people it seems. The closest thing is combat for me. It's a great improvement and very much needed one imo. But, the things that people buy Mass effect games for - story, characters, cutscenes, epic music, dialogues etc.. all this is just painfully average. If Bioware made these things great, it would be again 9-10/10 even if some other parts of the game would not be the best.
It's like Fallout 4. Great game, but many people were disappointed because of dialogues. You buy a fallout game, because you know (expect) what you'll be getting. But then, you don't get that and of course people are disappointed. If you take away one of the strongest aspects of the game, what do you expect? If you want to make completely different game, then change the title. You can't expect to keep the title (becuase you want money from old fans that love the title) and then take totally different direction and tell people "shh, stop complaining, this doesn't have anything to do with old stuff".
Take Divinity Original sin 2 for example. The first one was absolutely great game and now they made a sequel that is everything first one is, but improved in every aspect. That's how you continue with the title.

Apart from the combat divinity original sin was a confusing mess.

Asking for a explanation when someone is making a sweeping judgement because i disagree with their opinion and making a personal attack, says a lot about me and my developmental age?

Since you are doing the same as that poster, YOU tell me what does asking for an explanation behind the reasoning for a personal attack say about me and my developmental age? I'm genuinely interested here - if people can't back up an argument, especially when they make it personal, why make it?

No, I think this boat is beyond repair, go on if you like.

Heck, I dont know if these forums do any good, but Im going to get my opinion out some way. Bioware, if you are reading this, I want you to know I am a HUGE supporter of most, if not all, of your game series. My favorite of these series is undoubtedly Mass Effect. I have been playing since the launch of Mass Effect in 2007. I fell in love with the original trilogy, and replay them quite often. I cannot express how much I love the series. However, Mass Effect Andromeda is more than just a disappointment, it is a disgrace. Are you even aware that ME:A is currently sitting at a 74 from critics, making it an average game, and sitting at a 4.4 from users, making it a highly disliked game? When you look at the scores of the original trilogy, ME:A pales in comparison. Not only are most people unsatisfied with this game, I am as well. I could say I have dumped hundreds of hours into the previous installments. But ME:A, I only could stand 2 hours. Between the horrid animations, poor dialogue, game breaking glitches,and mediocre combat it's not hard to see how horrid this game is. And yes, I encountered all of this within the meager time I put into this game. It's so depressing to see my favorite series fall so low. Is this the worst game of all time? No. But this game isn't even good by any RPG standard. At best, this game is forgettable. You only get one chance to make a good impression, and ME:A has failed spectacularly to make a good one with me. I am so disgusted with this game that I had to exchange it for some other games, so I'm just happy that I got something out of this. And if anyone at Bioware is even remotely proud of their work, I suggest you see your game in action. This is the exact experience I received when I played ME:A my first time.

Best wishes, Bioware. I hope you are ecstatic just what kind of game you made.

May be a real death is the best option for Bioware. It's a possibility to start anew after all. Its agony lasts 5 years already since september 2012.

I don't even know where to start because this game seems like to have taken all the worse there was in the previous mass effect:
-Terrible crafting system and farming / collecting items.
-Rigging/skinning problems on models.
-Texture lacking models (krogans on New Tuchanka)
-Lightning problems with 8x8 reflections map on some glass while other glass nearby have nice defined 256x256 reflections?
-Animations, but not just facial, even bodies have problem with pieces of arms, armors overlapping bodies, faces going through shoulders, weird things happening, unatural movements, loop repeating the same generic animation during conversations.
-Lack of meaningful sidequest, even ME1 which was about exploring planets had at least 30 interesting sidequest with characters, dialogues, choices. Here there are barely 2 per planets.
-Generic locations, copy / paste ennemy basement X time every 1 km. You run to the exact same generic basement, same generic ennemies and even ennemies amount with the same generic containers and same generic sidequest.
-The meaningless sidequest that asks you to travel across the entire cluster where you spend 1 hour on the galaxy map just to scan in the end an item for some stupid quest.
-Lack of proper goals during the story and story elements revolving around it. Even any Mass Effect game had more element concerning colonization in the writing than this one. I was at least expectation during the scanning of the planet something like: "this planet is suitable for life and colonization but due to the existence of a pre space-flight specie, the andromeda initiative forbid settlement" or you know, just content revolving around colonization and not just generic dialogue with Addison and the same colony with same objectives with the vault and building pasted over every planet.
-Lack of story, the Kett "becomes" really an enemy you start to consider and comprehend they are a threat at 50% of the adventure. During the first 50% they are just "attacking colonies" and "making troubles" without further explanation making them just appear as another specie of andromeda that has an empire much like the prothean but does not appear really as "bad guy" or the antagonist.
-Soundtrack irrelevant failing to deliver a specific catching (and different) theme for each thing. I could tell straight away if I was speaking to the illusive man, on the citadel, virmire, Illos, Feros, Noveria, Omega, fighting cerberus, Husks, reapers just by the sound of it. Even the galaxy map nice theme is swallowed by the abondant soundFX

I could go on and on.

First off i hafe to say that i am a Huge ME Fan got ME1 to 3 and all the dlc i could buy. I have been proud to say for years that the ME univers was one i Loved and the storie about Shepard from ME1 to ME3 really touched me.

Having said that i cant believe that this piece of GARBAGE can be put under the same Theme as ME this is by far the Biggest RIP OFF i have ever seen!!!!

I Honestly believe that Bioware Knew they made a shit game and THATS  why they didnt make a season pass and THATS why they made the game a downloadble instead of making
a hardcopy dvd in a box. They KNEW!

Now i can list the many Many MANY!!! reason why this game sucks all from grafics to animation to gameplay and i am running the game on ultra grafics and STILL it looks like shit, DAI looks waaaaay better then this.....FAILURE!!!

all i can say is Bioware you just lost 1 more fan and customer for in the end i paid 500 kroner for a game that wasent worth 200kr on its best day!!!

Sorry for the angry rant i normaly dont do these or post these kind of comments on forums but in this case i just HAD to cause i feel so betrayed over this game and it cost me a LARGE amount of money for a game that i cant stomach to play and no amount reasuring words from bio will give me any satisfaction or justification over that i lost 500 bucks on this Shit!!!!
