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

How do you know a game is a GOTY contender before it's been released and you have played it? Ever heard of confirmation bias?

On other news, in one moment, one of the main character in MEA says "sigh". He doesn't sigh. He says sigh. That's some great writing right there after 5 years of dev time and EA resources to back the game up.

/sigh.

For the love of god, do not buy this game.

Yes. But that is ten years ago. This is the fourth game in the series and others have been released in between. They weren't then the big EA developer they are now. The plan is to always get better, not worse, and, in total, ME1 has superior writing than this. So, it is not pick and choose. It is a nice, juicy fact. If you can actively make an argument that MEA has better writing than ME1 then you clearly deserve what you are getting.

Also, you should understand the difference between bad writing and misused words and phrases in a script. The latter should be basic knowledge if you want to get paid as a professional.

ME:A does have good writing. It is certainly funnier than ME1.  I've not finished ME:A yet and so am not in a position to judge whether their is the equivalent of Kaidan's "Big place!" line, but we'll see. I let you know if I hit that particular dialogue high again. Maybe Ryder will ask Jaal whether his species produce with each other. Or maybe the Archon will have a melt down on his ship like Saren did, complete with scary music.

Can't wait.

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.

...But I gave them the benefit of the doubt...

Are you serious?

You'd take any of those 4 over Liara? Wrex?  I'd even take Ashley over them purely due to the fact that her face doesn't "hurt" to look at.

And we still have all of the other non-recruitable characters:

Anderson
Saren
Matriarch Benezia
Nihlus
Joker

All of which are fleshed out waaaaayyyyy better (imo) than any character in Andromeda.
