Not a finished game but it's close and really feels like just needing time....

Being a dev myself, my take might be a little different here -- I haven't a played a game with this many little bugs and issues in a long time and I play a LOT of games.  However, what I'm seeing are issues that a normal development and testing cycle would have easily caught and fixed.  Now sure, a ton of games have things that slip through the cracks, but I see quite a few here that just shouldn't be there in a completed game.  Tons.  Ryder getting stuck in position but his legs move for a couple seconds and then are released, missions that are done, but then reset, mission items that are extremely hard to get because of collision detection problems, wrong dialoge (all we need is one more and the vault is open -- uh no, that's the last one and now it is open), storyline triggers that seem to get queued and then 10 of them are added at once (not when entered or exiting somewhere, just when something else is triggered so it resets another trigger)... etc.  And of course, I didn't mention the animations, but if you notice, it's the opening piece/beginning and then they seem to, for the most part, be just fine.  Even things like only having basically one Asari face (and color), while other races get far better treatment (and the Asari are a pretty beloved race which has had quite a bit of uniqueness in the past unlike the Krogan or Salarians which are fairly generic historically).

For those that have played for quite a bit, there is a ton of history fleshed out, quite a few little details that are done extremely well, and a huge amount of content.  It just strikes me that there were time constraints and likely they were too far in that no matter what, whatever end date was chosen was going to be too early.  In most companies you'd just say, "well, we need more time, it's all there, we just need another test cycle or two because we can't quite release where we're at."  Usually that's not a HUGE deal and if you have an experienced team, you know they are usually fairly close.  I suppose the product cycle in game development is less forgiving and sometimes you just run out of time and that's that, because you've pushed it back too much already.
