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

So my general thoughts after playing the game for around 12 hours or so in SP:

It's already been pointed out a million times about the array of technical issues on things like animation issues so I wont bother to reiterate that other than to say that yeah, there is a number of problems there and they need fixing.

On characters I like most of the crew. Their characters feel a bit more natural this time around rather than the OT style of "Hi I know I just met you 5 minutes ago but here's my entire life story". The voice acting seems fine enough for the main cast, although some of the side characters on the Nexus(specifically in the Nexus leadership) feel pretty wooden.

For the story it's been okay so far. Nothing amazing yet but also nothing that sticks out as particularly awful. Without getting into spoilers there is one point early on where they attempt to have a potentially emotional moment but it just doesn't work for me because it's so early in the game that I'm not yet invested in any character involved.

Combat has probably been my favourite part of the game with my main complaint being that many of the weapons feel like they lack impact on the higher difficulties. Playing on Insanity my starting Avenger took multiple clips to kill even basic troopers in the tutorial mission.

Beyond that though the combat feels fluid and many of the weapons sound great. I haven't been particularly bothered by the "3 active abilities and 4 profiles" thing, but I know a lot of people don't like it. I actually find it kind of nice to be able to respec on the fly(although I'm still limited in what I can do at the moment because of a lack of skill points since I'm still a relatively low level).

Also the lack of a proper save feature can be very frustrating. I know some people have said you can manually save by switching your actively tracked mission, but at no point in my 12 hours no matter what I do have I ever been able to manually save the game and the auto saves are not always as plentiful as I like them to be.

Another minor one, but on the cluster/system map it was kind of cool to see the transition of flying from one planet/system to another the first time but it gets tiresome on the 500th time. At this point I'd rather it be faster so I didn't have to wait for the animation every time.

All in all I feel like there is a good game somewhere in all of this, but it's ultimately being hamstrung by a myriad of technical issues and some very odd design decisions. I definitely like the game, but from what I'm seeing when it's all said and done I suspect that I wont like it as much as any game in the original trilogy which are among my favourite games of all time.
