You lost all credibility with me when you began your anti gay rant. Which part was that? I don't see any mention of it in his rant. In the rant about the dialogue.

OP started derping about politics. The game isn't nearly as political as some people say it is. Also while it has it's flaws there is no way this game is a 3/10. It's like this guy wandered over from metacritic users or the youtube comments section.

You know there is a thread for reviews, yeah?
As well as a thread for folks who dislike the game to rant.
There is also you tube.

I don't know, if you don't flirt with Gil, he didn't seem to mention he is gay(Or did I miss it?). And Suvi never mention she is a lesbian even if you flirt with her.

So ignoring your anti-gay rant for a moment.
Reviews don't work that you - you don't start off at 10 and then minus a point for everything you don't like. You weigh the pros and cons of the game and give a score that best represents your thoughts about it. Honestly, if reviews did work that way then I'd score even games I love really low because they always do at least 6 or 7 things that I don't like.

In fact one thing I give MEA credit for was how it handled the romances it is 100 percent up to the player to get it started. No NPCs try to hit on you. There are no Anders moments.

I think Anders' real problem, at least to me, was that he was kind of a constant downer. Even when he made jokes, he was still kind of depressing somehow. If, say, Zevran made come-on remarks, then it'd be better because he can be fun in his own way. I enjoyed when Vega made flirty remarks to FemShep because he was a big-hearted lug you could tease back.

The mining makes sense because of the whole space exploration and that ties into it nicely. Also it's not just MMOs, try pretty much every RPG that requires you to pick flowers. The mining was actually done well.
And you lost me when you said you would rather have loading screens over something immersive and unique to a space game. The old games didn't do it because they couldn't handle it on last gen consoles.
The good far outweigh your minor complaints so giving it a 3/10 without even discussing the good just makes this seem like a angry rant rather than a well thought out review

You forgot to mention the bugs. The game is a 6 though. Actually I didn't encounter that many bugs. Atleast not in a way that interferred with my gaming sessions. However I don't find it fair people are calling me a bigot. First of all I have nothing against homosexual people, but I do however hate badly written characters such as Gil and Jill. I am a big believer in "show it dont tell it" because being hit over the head by something time and again is just not elegant. Bioware has big problems in the writing department these days and it has to do with them hiring incompetent people, that care more about their message then their art. I'm not sorry to the people I have offended, the way I see it you are becoming to the bigots.

I cant take 3/10 seriously either. Its like a metacritic user review, worthless. And it makes it seem like this game, tough dissapointing and not living up to the other ME games, is in the same league with say Battleship: the game, Aliens: Colonial Marines or most of those shitty movie licensed games. Its not, its above average game. 6/10 i get considering the unpolished state this game was in, i even get 5/10, tough theres some too much emotion mixed with rationality in those, but 3/10? No way. This game would have to have serious issues and some things would have to be outright broken for it to go that low.
Heres how my rating system view goes, and im gonna post some games that get thats score for comparison from me:
9.5 and higher: Masterpiece (Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger) 9.0 to 9.4: Excellent (Zelda: Link to the Past, Suikoden 2, Eternal Darkness, Star Control 2) 8.0 to 8.9: Good (Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 1, Dragon Quest 8) 7.0 to 7.9: Decent (Final Fantasy 10, Metroid Prime 2, Batman: Arkham Origins) <--- The game is here for me. 6.0 to 6.9 :Ok (Resident Evil 5, Megaman x5) 5.0 to 5.9: Mediocre (Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Final Fight, Resident Evil 6, Mighty No.9) 4.0 to 4.9: Subpar (Final Fantasy 13, Megaman x6) 3.0 to 3.9: Bad (Aliens: colonial marines, Duke Nukem Forever, Most movie Licensed games) 2.0 to 2.9: Horrible (Superman 64, Zelda CD-I games. ) 1.0 to 1.9: Abysmal (Big Rigs: over the road racing, Action 52)
MEA is not a bad game, by any way.

Also, I've had a ridiculous amount of bugs happen.

Story was excellent, it came together well, did what all good Bioware games do and make you curious about stuff that will play out in future installments, introduced diverse and intresting characters and let you make decisions. ERM..WHAT?! It was mediocre at best. A completely non-threatening borg rip off of an enemy for a start, a bunch of idiots in charge who you cannot confront about their idiocy and failures, turning the murderous horror of colonialism into a happy-clappy theme park, completely avoiding the genocide and mass destruction necessary to carry out any endeavor of the type the Initiative is engaged in, ...yea..mediocre and white-washes a massive evil and fails to address that evil and stare it in the face, what could have been an opportunity to tell a powerful story about what colonialism actually is, and showing what the 'heroes' of that massive injustice did, was replaced with a theme park that makes it seem like a moral good.

He ranted about moralizing, which is fair enough, if you want to make a political point make a damn pamphlet, not a computer game, if you want to have something be normal, show don't tell, if you have characters who happen to be gay, fine, show us them being valuable members of the team, don't have them beating people over the head with long monologues.

anarchizt I'd agree with pretty much everything except firing the writers, that seems a tad over the top. Yeah the writing and the delivery could have been better but I didn't find it as terrible as you did. Just another area they need to improve. Pretty much agree with the rest though.

The strike team thing is just nitpicking and can easily be ignored. It literally has no ties to the single player unless you want extra materials and weapons. Pretty sure nobody uses it.

I use it too. A lot of time I'll go days and days without playing (busy work schedule and all), and it's always nice to log in and have a bunch of loot waiting for me. Puts me ahead on research data for sure.

Well, it's never a matter of need, just a matter of me being a greedy mofo that can never say no to more loot. Since I'm always tinkering at the research station, it's right there so I usually give that a shot too. But I also play multiplayer, which also adds on even better stuff so it's pretty convenient.

I happen to agree with most of what was said. Though I would give the game a 6/10. For me, it was by far the worst of the series, just like DAI was the worst of that series for me.

Ditto, including the Amazon part. Amazon makes shopping for practically anything under the sun, easy and cheaper.
