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

I'd think it would be a bit easier since CDs are by individual power (ala ME1) instead of one CD for all of your powers.  Unless your nova is in CD when you start the charge, you should be able to do it immediately after charging.

Neh, the game is ok... buggy as hell and frustratingly underdeveloped, but still kinda fun.

I am really enjoying it
Have played about 37 hours since korean release. I'm now at 37% game completed.
So much to do!

After a slow start i am actually quite into the game. I enjoy pretty much everything about it, so no you are not alone. Stay strong, brother!

I like it.

I don't love it.

5 years after the release of Mass Effect 3, the fact that combat seems to be the only thing that's improved in that time is surprising.

The fact that several other systems, from inventory management, facial animations, character animations, dialogue, story-telling, and world building, all seem to have inexplicably gotten WORSE in those 5 years, is both depressing and unacceptable.

Chuck all the technical and performance issues on top of all of that?

For the enjoyment I'm getting out of the game, I think Bioware deserves almost all the heat being directed at them at the moment.

They set a very high bar for themselves, and failed to meet their own standard

In a weird way though, none of that means you can't enjoy the game. Mentally though, it helps accepting that this isn't exactly a masterpiece. 

You in Europe?

One of my favorite dynamics of nerdrage at BioWare games is that you get this and then you get a whole contingent of "BioWare is run by homophobes because the character I wrote slashfic about wasn't retconned gay" at the same time.  

I like it.

I just have a lot of problems with it and think there was a ton of room to improve.

The dialogue in particular is cringe worthy at times, even more so than the OT.

The more I play it, the more I like it. Going to the planet with the exiles was the change of scenery I needed. I seriously doubt it will be GotY or anything, but it's a great game imo.

Been in the game 37 hours, I have almost completed all side missions and I'm about to kick in the final mission once I'm done.
It's basically ME1 with a lot of things that got worse.
The story is nothing amazing, everything is pretty much predictable, it's not bad, it's on par with ME2 where the core story was a "bit" lacking but just not as good.
The dialog are poorly written, the choice are very weird at times and Ryder answers feels very unpredictable sometimes.
Also, I noticed most choices tend to be the exact same, it's just the way you shout it out that differs slightly, there was no need to have 4 of them, plus it diminished a lot the learning curve of each character that feels very uni-dimensional with a very big deep lack of personal story.

I actually don't know why people are so crying for open world, farming minerals and plants really ain't my thing. I preferred far better the linear aspect of ME2 bringing new characters at each corridor corner and expanding a bit more the universe with an amazing variation of side mission where you would go after a group of scientist that turned into husk, block pack gang, varen attack on lost Quarian ship.
Side quest feels very repetitive and each planet has probably two or three quest that are actually a bit more than the usual get to that point, trigger this, get to that point, take this, get to that point, scan this, return to X where you barely get any interaction nor do learn anything story-wise interesting.

Now the ugly:
Bug / Glitch everywhere.
From creatures clipping through ground or walking 10 meters above you, enoch creatures on voeld that simply "freeze" in front of you when they want to attack and stay stuck.
Then there's an unusual amounts of character speaking that surf in the room, teleport, duplicate, texture and model load each time, it's pretty weak.

As many mentioned, the animations, where it's actually not just the facial.
Facial animations are a bit weird but, it's few of them, it's just too bad that these are for the most important characters.
But there are others much terrible thing compared to the previous mass effect that are IMO unforgivable:
Dialog animations, the way most side dialog are just the camera getting closer with the possibility to vaguely look around. It really shines how lazy the mise en scene / acting / directing department is. It doesn't creates pace nor enough concerns for me to care since I never get a clear look at each character interaction with me and most of the time my squademate speaking are off the shot, I can't even see what's their reaction. Ryder seems also very unconcerned.
There are also loop for certain characters who are doing things with their datapad and omnitool just like I don't exist. It feels weird to see them doing something in a loop while continuing to talk to me. It completely kills possibility to connect since each character seems unconcerned of my presence and are just here to deliver a line. No body language at all or clear expression.

The musics are impossible to identify and the places / situations seems very repetitive.
One of the most striking thing in the first trilogy was the sound, I could tell straight away if I was on Virmire, Noveria, Feros, the Citadel, speaking with the Illusive man, in a combat situation against the geth or Cerberus right away from the track.
Here the music is swallowed in a constant abuse of soundFX that even by diminishing these they don't stand out and are just ambient.
They aren't bad, but they clearly lacked a direction and to fit to a very precise idea, they are just pieces compose to play in X numbers of situations which I regret a lot.

It's not all bad, there's a lot good too, like the possibility to have outpost, waking up people from cryo, it's just that everything feels under-exploited and lacked a real touch of polish.
It's not bad but it's barely good, from a licence that fed us with great games it feels very weird especially knowing that this game had 5 years of development and felt like the most under-developed game so far.

I think i like any game when i can´t stop playing it. I wish i have more time to play this game. So far it´s a good game.
It´s not perfect but very enjoyable at least for me. I probably write a large review once i finish the game.

I'm liking the game more than I thought I would as well.

It's definitely got some big technical flaws, but the story and characters are on par with other ME games and the combat is the best it's ever been in the series. The most disappointing thing for me with this game is that I think it had the potential to be a great game, but whatever went wrong in development and resulted in the lack of polish, drags it down a bit.
