'I like or love the game' (General feedback)

 I'm a bit sad 'cause it's soon coming to an end, since the planet scanning quest is currently at 39/50.

 How do I check my in game hours?

Differen't strokes then.  Glad you are enjoying it.  We all like different things, and I'm dont consider the other games 'amateur.'  I just like more focused storytelling.  And I know I'm not alone.  I didn't say I dislike everything.  The writing though and the new characters aren't as good imo.  I do like the Nomad.  Haven't finished so don't have final thoughts yet, obviously a lot to do.

Began ME:A around 10:53-ish in the Pee-Emm.

Stopped around 4:00 AM.

Decided around 4:15-ish in the Ay-eMmm that haters just gonna hate. Can't do nothin' 'bout it.

I really want to love this game. I really really do.... But I simply haven't found the love yet. I like it, but I don't love it :/

I'm ok with the less than optimal facial animations and the subpar voiceacting at times. I'm ok with the absurdly clunky and unintuitive UI and the horrible (to say the least) character creator. I'm ok with this not being Shepards story and I was actually looking forward to a new adventure, not necessarily tied in to the original trilogy in other ways than to use existing lore/background.

But I'm just not feeling the game. I've played a couple of Priority missions beyond Eos and still the feeling of Pathfinder eludes me totally.
What paths am I finding? Everywhere I go, someone has been there before. Whether it be ancient civilizations, enemies or existing civilizations. Excactly what am I pathfinding? Who transported all alien life in the galaxy to all the planets I visit? They're clearly related. I'm not getting that frontier spirit vibe. More like I dropped in on someone else's neighbourhood.
Why does it feel like Ryder is a child playing spacehero? The lives of several thousand people is on the line, and yet I feel nothing. It's so sad. I really wanted to get into the story, but again, I have little to no connection to the world I'm in.
I hope this doesn't come off as a rant, because it really isn't. As I said most of the problems people have with this game I can easily overlook if the "feeling" is there. But for me, it just isn't :/


I'll try making a fresh character (probably just going with standard look, as I can't seem to make a decent male Ryder) and laying off the sidestuff. Beelining a bit more of the main story and see if that could get me "going" so to speak.

Here's to hoping my relationship with ME:A get's better

So much salt that people are actually enjoying the game that they come into a positivity thread demanding a fucking thesis with citations and graphs of why someone thinks this game is good.

If you don't like the game, that's fine. I don't really care why you don't, and you don't owe anyone an explanation of why you don't. Just stay in your fucking lane. There's thirty seven thousand of your whiney bitchfest circlejerking threads you can hop on into. Go forth and frolic in those.
