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

I think that the combat is fluent and decent and probably the best selling points that the game currently has and since I play on PC the controls feel more natural to me than playing it on console. That being said it's the game mechanics that destroy the difficulty more so than the game being hard itself. It's one thing to limit your survivablity and another to limit ALL combat scenarios so much when it seriously takes a lot of time, planning, and effort to win every fight.I can't even get through a single fight and I seriously stopped trying. It was not because death or killing the enemy was the issue. The problem was that my life support could not even sustain a single battle.

I even managed to finish that stupid battle where they attracted the enemy and you had to kill 15 to 20 of the mofos with practically no cover. It took me about 5 or 6 tries so I could survey the area properly and pick the right location to hold down the fort but if I could kill 20 or so enemies surrounding me and trying to rush me, what makes you think I have a difficult time with anything else the game has thrown at me is my question (not so much to you but to others in this thread who seem to fail to comprehend that some people are actually GOOD at video games and are capable of much more than just running and gunning).

So basically what you're saying is that you should rush into enemies and die and also there is no zone and leveling (at least not that I'm aware of) and I followed through the story line. Also exaggerating troll? Nothing that I said has been an exaggeration. Care to point them out for me? And while it make not take 2 seconds it takes a second and a half and well you're dead so good luck with using that when you have 5 enemies firing at you. I also tried to experiment with it to pick up downed allies to see how fast it would deploy just for the hell of it. Pretty much costs you all your hit points and is not worth using vs. damage abilities. Kill them before they kill you works better.

He says nothing about rushing into enemies. Also yes there are areas of the planets that have amped up evironmental hazards that drain life support fast. Those would be areas passed your level.

I have played on insanity mode, had no issues with running out of life support when encountering enemies. Even 10, because I used everything I had, including the nomad (it is super effective at running over enemies even when behind cover). If I couldn't run any over, I still wouldn't prolong to fight, I'd kill some and retreat, recover my life support by sitting in the nomad, come back and kill some more, repeat until cleared.

He never said he's played the whole game on a lower difficulty once before jumping into insanity. You should probably go back and read my post you quoted word for word. 

I get what you're trying to say though OP.

This had to be a parody thread, yes?

Regarding the life support mechanic, I am assuming you have never played ME1?

The 965 is also a bloody laptop gpu, of course it is going to struggle.

Not even going to go anywhere near you bollocks about casual gaming. That just marks you out as a pillock.

And finally, a refund after 40 fucking hours? Are you shitting me?

You get to make your own character in Warframe? You can customize frames but you don't get to create your own. That would be awesome though.

Yeah you have to solve the puzzles to make the planet habitable and leave for awhile before coming back and exploring more. This isnt the first game to do something like this. If OP thinks he has such expert mad skillz that he can fight through it, then he has been rudely awakened and may be rage quitting despite his heart felt and lengthy arguments.

Well, that just seems downright unethical to me.

You outta know what you're getting into by reading the title. "You mad?" Yeah, I'm mad. You bet your quad I'm mad. 5 years I waited. 5 loooong years, and this what they have to show for it? I was LIVID about ME3's ending. But I gave them the benefit of the doubt that they would bring this series back into a positive light. So this is going to be a very angry rant, because this is 5 years of faith and patience being unrewarded, coming out to ventilate.

You know why this game really sucks the shit ring off my toilet? It ain't the bad animations, the poorly designed UI, or the bugs. It's none other than the goddamn story. The plot, the themes, the tone, the characters, all of it. People can yell "Bad animations! Bad animations!" all they please. But bad animations would've been forgiven, if the story of this game had been good. That's pretty much what happened with ME1. People forgave all it's huge flaws because of it's endearing story. I would welcome with wide open arms, all the bad animations, bugs, and poorly designed UI, for a story that had good presentation, a compelling plot, and great characters. But Andromeda's story is poorly told, generic, and worst yet, it's boring.

I look back on the Original Trilogy. The great directing, it's mystery, amazing characters, interesting scenarios, it's cinematic storytelling, and it's wonderful music, and I compare them to this game, and it's almost like it's not even in the same franchise. It's like a generic Sci Fi game, with a Mass Effect paint job. The worst cutscene in the Original Trilogy, is better presented, and more interesting than anything I've seen storywise in this game.
The people who made this game have ZERO passion. They don't understand nor care what made Mass Effect so beloved.

If the ending to ME3 didn't kill the franchise, this game sure as fuck did. If you like Andromeda, more power to you, but I honestly cannot understand how you're satisfied with this game. How you can look back at the trilogy, and all the wonderful times it gave us, and then still feel "Oh yea....Mass Effect: Andromeda? Totally worth the wait. This is where it's at." Because this game does not deserve the name Mass Effect.

Fuck Bioware Montreal. Fuck Mac Walters. And fuck EA. 

All I have are memories now.

ME2 killed the franchise.

See? I posted an opinion too.

Compare it to ME1, not what ME3 was as a biproduct of 1, 2 and itself, please.

To hammer this point down, try to remember back to your very first playthrough of ME1 and remember how attatched you felt or how much you care about the plot before ME2 and ME3 substantiated the themes and backstories built up by ME1.

That said, I think it's weaker than ME1 because it skimps way too much on context but I have a feeling this is due to poor planning and cut story segments (happens in very game; then they have to reassemble a plot from the remaining setpieces) and not because they're just dumb writers. It's also an issue of "too many cooks in the kitchen" though.

That said both MEA and ME1 had around 5 core writers to shape up the backbone and lore. The remaining 5 writers came on later and similarly Patrick Weekes did not join ME1 until the very end when all they needed was extra side missions.
